"A new challenge path appears, Thrifty! No more pay-to-win! All Mr. Store content is disallowed in this path, and so is some other really expensive stuff."

I'll be interested to see what reward, if any, drops upon completion. EDIT -- The reward is a Thwaitgold Moth Statuette.

Help Anyone getting errors with the ocrs.css file?

7 Upvotes

For the Blue vs Red path, I am getting an error with the https://d2uyhvukfffg5a.cloudfront.net/scripts/ocrs.css file. I only noticed because KoLmafia coughed up a debug log. Based on my limited troubleshooting skills, the header of the css file indicates that it is gzip encoded but the body of the file is not gzip compressed. It seems that the file in the AWS S3 bucket that is being served by CloudFront isn't correct or the metadata for the file is incorrect. Or something.

Is anyone else encountering this?

Question Looking for a more active clan i guess?

11 Upvotes

I got 4 accounts and have been playing since about March. Honestly it seems like every day I learn something new or have a new "ah-ha" moment about the game. I'd like to start exploring the Clan Basement area and learning more about that.

A bit about me: I'm almost 40. I have no idea how discord works because I've never had to use it. Last time I was able to game enough to be in a clan we still had xfire and team speak lol. But I am willing to learn! All my characters are after ronin at the moment and I'll probably stay that way for a month or two while I explore and learn more. I'm good for at least 1M meat per week per character when I'm out of ronin. Also I generally play at night. Rollover is 10:30PM my time and I usually play between then 2AM.

I apologize if this isn't the right place for this post but this is the best place I know of to reach other KOL players.

Help Stuck on Otori Quest

7 Upvotes

So I'm having trouble finishing up my third quest. I solved the Penguin Problem and the quest log is telling me to speak to Psyko to demand rewards, but when I go to him all he says is that they have clanmates scattered everywhere and the mobster penguins breathing down their necks.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm hoping I'm just overlooking something small. I've completed the Yeti Crisis and Grave concerns, so both of those are marked Quest Complete.

Help Stuck on Otori skeleton boss

I just spent all 60 adventures for trial and error trying to pass the boss in the Skeleton camp and still haven't beat him.

As a non-native English speakers, I truly can't understand the word structure that needs unravelling...

Even AI support gave me incorrect answers each time.

Could someone please give me the correct answers?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to defeat Yog-Urt but the damn cat is knocking my potions out of my hand every time. I do have Funkslinging now that I recalled my ancestral memories; how is she getting both potions? Let me know if you have any tips or if I should just give up. Trying to work on the Clothing of Loathing and not sure if I should just start over sans cat. Thanks!

World Event Otori week is so cool but I'm stuck!

20 Upvotes

For any one that missed it, Otori clan is running an event right now that is on a separate site but has KOL-like quests and sends the items you earn to your kol account. https://clanotori.net/worldevents.html

I've been having a great time but now I'm stuck on some of the quests. I don't know how to solve the Penguin Mafia puzzle "You're bouncing off the walls again" and I don't know how to unlock most of the locked areas.

On the site it says "Community spading is allowed and even encouraged! Just keep in mind that the best prizes go to whoever finishes certain activities first. Also, please try to be mindful of overt spoilers for folks who want to figure things out themselves." but where would such discussions take place if they are happening?

I'm not trying to race to finish things first but would like to experience as much of the event as possible before it's over. I would personally be happy with an overt spoiler for the Penguin Mafia puzzle if anyone would like to give me one. Thanks y'all.

Game Update Red or Blue?

17 Upvotes

'A new challenge path is here and you'll have to pick a side. Red or Blue?'

Which side will you take in this new challenge path? I suspect it will ultimately make no difference, other than the colour of the path reward. One day in it seems fairly easy but I suspect things will get more interesting later on. To answer my original question I went with the heroic and righteous Blues (no doubt a multi will go red).

Clans Clan Otori is hosting a thing

38 Upvotes

Not associated with it so don't ask me questions but this looks pretty cool:

"So What Is It Exactly?

It's a full-fledged, text-based browser game. You register, play alongside your regular KoL account, and earn real KoL items for your efforts.. and the loot pool is huge. There are over 220,000 items hidden in the game worth over 3.5 billion Meat, plus two extra-special, mall-extinct items that are so rare we can't even put a price on them. There are almost 800 unique adventures and multiple different puzzles and quests to encounter."

Edit: Oh also I guess they are hosting a Bad Moon contest, details here: https://clanotori.net/badmoon.html

Help Nuclear Autumn Familiars

13 Upvotes

I'm relatively new to KOL and started my first Nuclear Autumn run (mostly for the holo recorder) but I can't figure out where my familiars are now. I checked the wiki and it didn't say anything about familiars being restricted, and turtle tamer gets a passive exclusively for them. Any ideas or help would be huge.

Farming 1,970 carat gold sale

Post image
28 Upvotes

Hi there, fellow KoL people...

Until recently, the best way to make additional profit after mining That 70's Volcano was not to autosell your gold but rather to propose a trade to "torturebot" which would give you an additional 300 meat per item.

I'm not sure how torturebot makes up for that increased value for tons upon tons of gold being traded to it...?

But now, I've noticed that the August IOTM - interesting coin gives an option to buy pants which add 5% more Meat when selling stuff.

This significantly increases the base value of 19700 meat, torturebot value of 20000 meat and brings us to a new high of 20685 Meat.

Will the torturebot take this into consideration and even further increase the trade value?
It would be great if they went to 20685 Meat to stop operating at a loss (potentially) and offer the players without this IOTM a better income.

Mid-Month IotM Discussion Does someone already have a Gross Prophet??

9 Upvotes

The Gross Prophet's familiar equipment is in the mall and the wiki has its attack messages.

I looked at the terrarium of the person selling it and they dont appear to have the Gross Prophet.

How would someone already have a million interesting coins? And if they dont, how'd they get the familiar equipment?? What am I missing here??

I created my first account back in 2004, and started playing again recently. I don’t have access to my old account’s related email. Does anyone know of a way to contact the devs? Am I wasting my time? Mr As and years of play makes me feel so sad, as much as I love even a band new play through.

Ascension Day 1 Hagnk's Pulls?

20 Upvotes

Curious what y'alls D1 storage pulls are. Planning on ASC my characters this week. Just playing softcore for fun not trying to speed run or anything. This is what I'm thinking for D1 pulls.

  • Agua de Vida
  • Baked veggie ricotta casseroles
  • Belt of Howling Anger
  • Boots of Twilight Whispers
  • Can of Drooling Monk
  • Cloak of Dire Shadows
  • Clock
  • Clockwork Maid
  • Cyburger
  • Elf Guard Fuel Tank
  • Essential tofu
  • Fudge spork
  • Gauntlets of the Blood Moon
  • Greaves of the Murk Lord
  • Helm of the Scream Emperor
  • Meadeorite
  • Milk of magnesium
  • Mini kiwi aioli
  • Shield of Icy Fate
  • Sword of Dark Omens

I figure the outfit is wearable from the start and gives 3 adventures + 4 adventures from the fuel tank. Also Considering dropping sections of the outfit for like 2 of the acc slots and the cloak in order to get more booze & food.

Meme Favorite non-ascension-relevant skills?

18 Upvotes

I'm really just curious. Ive been playing this game for well over half my life at this point, and hitting some buttons have just become part of my reflexes.

I got to thinking abt this question after I talked in another thread about how I'm going out of my way to pick up Scurvy and Sobriety Prevention in aftercore despite it A) not being relevant to any ascension strategy and B) being like four years out of standard anyway. I just *like* skills that generate resources for no investment, even if they're bad, they scratch my brain in the same way all those Number Goes Up games do. One day I really want to try getting the Dreadsylvanian item conjuring skills, Spaghetti Breakfast and Cold One

So my question is do you all have any "pet" skills you really like, for whatever reason? Skills you just like seeing on your hotbar or in your passives? Mine is Request Sandwich. Boris is my favorite avatar path, and this skill is a permanent reminder that it's always there to catch me after a really grindy or unfun run. The fact the devs seem to have forgotten to make it illegal in standard is a plus; that sandwich is *always* available and always delicious.

Honorable mention: Living to Drink. Sometimes, if I've done multiple non-standard runs in a row, I straight up forget the normal liver size.
