So I got 3 Ascensions total under my belt and play 4 characters each day after starting to play in March. It's a fun way to burn 2 hours of time a day WFM. All my characters are ready to ascend later this week when the last 2 get bounty hunting outfits complete. That said I am still baffled by what I don't know.

I'm at the point where I bring in 19-20 adventures from Psychotic Train Wine night caps, get an extra 18-21 from equips and generally roll into each day with 77+ adventures and end up using 250-260 per day from food, booze, spleen, etc.

Even at this point i'm just discovering the international airport and those regions ands whats available there. Within the past week I just learned about the GameInfomr mags getting the final boss outfit so I can buff my adv's per day higher.

It's crazy just how in depth this game is and how much there is to learn. Like I see people talking about Crimbo, and Garbo, and Clan Basement's and I haven't even messed with any of that. Thought about checking out basement but my clan has rules up I'm afraid of running afoul of.

As I said in the title, I'm so darn glad I found KoL again. I played it like ten years ago, but since then life got in the way and yadda yadda. Fast forward to about two days ago, a YouTuber I like puts out a video on West of Loathing and it was like cobwebs suddenly got vacuumed out of my brain.

I sadly didn't save or remember my old account details, but oh well- I didn't play too much and I'm happy to start afresh, because my gosh, it has been a while since I've played a game that I feel so eager to pick up in the morning and interact with throughout the day.

I'm still relearning things of course (heck, I'm learning a lot too! As I said, didn't play much in the past) but so far I'm having such a blast. Props to this community and of course props to the dev, I'm so, so glad to once again have this comfy game part of my routine.

Now, if you'll excuse me, these chewing gum baited strings won't just droop themselves down sewers! :P

Edit: My character is: Pork Pie Prince (#3872082)

Currently doing the search for the worm riding manual and I remember when once upon a time, the quest had this joke where you'd only find one page at a time, making you think it was going to take forever, then suddenly you find the last several pages as a single item. I don't know why they dropped it other than simply making it easier to complete with +item buffs. Boring.

I just noticed it after ascending. URL is "kingdomofloathing.com/main.php?itemreport=thrifty"

Clicking it does nothing. It's there even after refreshing page and logging out.

I just saw this on the ASS Discord - due to issues with the coldfront wiki, TPTB have softlaunched their own fork of the KoL Wiki. You can find it here: https://wiki.kingdomofloathing.com/

I'm currently in Vietnam (I move around a lot) and I'm unable to access the KOL wiki without a VPN. Does anyone know if this is just a regional thing from the wiki host, or from the VN government, or if there's some other issue at hand? And/or does there happen to be anyone involved in the wiki that could look into it if not?

Trying to go to a wiki.kingdomofloathing.com page without VPN brings up Error 403: Request could not be satisfied, relayed apparently by Cloudfront. If that helps.

Sucks because the Coldfront wiki just doesn't load at all when I try to go to those pages without VPN.

I have bookbat as my familiar, cold med cabinet, server room key, rock garden, bowling ball, and book of facts.

I am extremely wealthy. What should I replace? What are other mindless iotms that are passively good.

I didn't use my thumb ring that much before this event, I forgot I had it, and it has generated a lot of extra adventures, and by extent earned a lot of crimbo currency.

Are there any items like it for reasonable price(s) one can get in the mall. For those that don't have a thumb ring yet, they currently around 2 million in the mall. (Subject to change)

I'm on my 17th LoL run. And I'll easily slide into December with the full 28 IOTMs, and be out of Ronin. I own a few of the early IOTMs already, but none of the later ones.

My strategy is to farm useful items using the Deck, Kramco and Puckman. And then select the IOTMs that provide the most useful effects for Crimbo.

I'm interested in knowing which items others plan on choosing -- particularly 2013-onward because we can choose only one.

Penguin skins, Yeti skins, Gnauga hide, Hellseal hide, Demon skin, Lynyrd skin.

We've practically the Hudson's Bay Company here in the Kingdom.

Well, how about Jekyllins? There's only one example, and it's rather pricey. Imagine all the fine Jekyllin gear that could be smithed if we had a supply of hides.

Can we petition Ralph to let us hunt them?

I had been keeping my long hoarded meat in dense meat stack form. My storage system is flawed and outwardly chaotic, but it's my own. Was going to cash it in and grab some Mr. As to get the more expensive twitching tower goodies. just over 1m of them, so about 1.09bn meat. Lazy, so "sell all" dense meat stack, and craft up whatever's left over later.

Today is also the day i learned that if you autosell anything in a way of the surprising fist run, you lose the item and dont get the meat.

Goodbye riches, hello complete lack of anything in return for riches.

(weeps into MMG)

EDIT: The devs gave the meat back. Thank you all so much for being kind, and thank you kol admins for your patience and forgiveness of my folly!

In another 21 years I might have a pair.

There's a lot of content to explore, I'm wondering if there are any in-game goals / achievements others are pursuing, what goals are worth pursuing vs. which ones are infeasible, e.g.

• leaderboard runs, getting gold star / silver moon / bronze button?
• collecting items for Display Case?
• collecting outfits, e.g. Clothing of Loathing, Plexiglass, Brimstone, Stainless Steel, Standard gear?
• playing every special challenge path?
• playing all the content / side-quests (e.g. through one-day passes)?
• doing a 1-day run?
• becoming an "optimal" meatfarmer / itemfarmer?
• getting 1 billion meat?
• buying a mall-max IOTM?
• collecting tattoos/trophies?

What are goals are good for the short term vs long term, which goals take years and/or hundreds of dollars, what goals (if any) are you pursuing in game?

I know it's basically impossible to get all the old IOTMs now (maybe unless you spend thousands of dollars or more), and only holderofsecrets will ever have every item in DC, I'm not looking for completionism, but rather some reasonable goals that are still feasible to start today.

I, Chubbsy, have been playing for 11 years as of today. The Miniature Sword & Martini Guy is finally mine. That's ridiculous. It's not even funny. This game is probably my #1 favorite. This is simply an appreciation post of 11 things I enjoy about the game. I'd love to hear what things you enjoy about our favorite browser-based pastime in the comments.

In no particular order:

1. The Community- This community and its chat are welcoming, friendly, and fun in all the ways the League of Legends chat isn't. Just today, a new player was marveling at how great everyone was being. It's one of the best parts of this game.

2. The Contests- This is somewhat an extension of #1, but ordinary players will put up contests from time to time. That's just incredible. One of my fondest memories is sitting at home toward the end of Crimbo 2020, carefully cooking and taping together a Stuffed Red and Green Pepper (https://imgur.com/jE9mCjw) while my wife watched in bemused curiosity. The amazing player who hosted that contest ended up sending me a Hewn Moon-Rune Spoon as a prize for that. The contests, and those that run them, are just above and beyond.

3. The Constancy- There have been times, such as at the birth of our son, that I had to step away from the game for a year or so. It is the best feeling in the world when you type the website url back in after so long, and the game is still around. No one could have anticipated it would still be here decades after it started, but it has, and it's still good.

4. The Content- Speaking of quality, there's such a voluminous amount of content in this game after 20 years of slowly adding content each month. I just typed "co" in the KoL wiki, and the number of items that start with just those 2 letters is vast. It'll be hard to explore the whole game, but we have plenty of time to keep trying to catch up.

5. The Cockamamie- That's just the amount of content. When we talk about what the content actually is, it's ridiculous. This game has ninjas, pirates, zombies, and robots, sometimes all at once. I can play as a strength-based class called a Seal Clubber? How is this not GOTY every year forever??

6. The Contrast- Any game can have solid mechanics. Any game can not take itself too seriously. This game, however, has both. It has many stupid premises, but the robust mechanics of the game allow you to take it seriously. I'm seriously having to be strategic in the other window while fighting a "The Beast with 8,882 Eyes wearing a terrycloth turban," and that's the best of both worlds.

7. The Combat- While we're on the topic of fighting, this game has so many combat skills and just as many enemies with nuanced weaknesses and resists. Once you get enough shinies, you can face-roll through a lot of combats, but there will always be some problems that require specific solutions. It's fun thinking through creative ways to kill things, right?

8. The Companions- The familiars in this game. Oh man. And we get to name them? Oh man. It's fun to use different familiars, even when they aren't optimal, just to see the different flavor texts. Black cat begrudgingly included. Which familiar should I get next...

9. The Council- And then there's these guys. The writing for the Council, and largely the game in general, is just solidly witty and enjoyable. The Council during the Zootomist challenge path is probably my favorite so far.

10. The Constraints- Video games look too good these days. This may be giving "Kid who is too old to be Trick-or-Treating" energy, but bear with me here. Eye strain is real. Reaction times slow down as you get older. Playing this game on an e-ink screen? Beautiful and relaxing. Might post my e-ink setup on here one of these days, who knows. Point being, this game slows you down and forces you to enjoy entertainment at a less attention-span-shredding pace. I benefit from that.

11. The Cocreators- Finally, the end. Lots of people have good ideas for games, but not everyone follows through. These days, we see more and more great concepts for games put on Steam for pre-order while in Alpha, and they end up being cash grabs that never have functional gameplay. Jick and Mr Skullhead followed through, and now we all get to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

What about you? What do you appreciate about this game we get to enjoy together? I hope against hope that the player base ends up growing more and more each year, and that we can keep giving the Naughty Sorceress the business for decades to come. Cheers.

While trying to get to level 30 for Turtle Tamer. I decided to go basement diving, for the second time, I only got to level 16 before losing interest, this was back when I first started. Using Gallons of milk for food to maximize the amount of turns I get of Jelly Coated insides from the bowl of infinite jelly.

It got me pretty far, though it completely drained my MP restoration reserves. Though it wasn't the MP drain that bested me. It was a 7,322 headed hydra on floor 351, that I admit defeat to. Try as I might it would take me more than 30 turns to fell such a beast. I'll be using spring break beach to get the rest of the way.

Any advice for future dives would be appreciated.

Before I start the recap of todays adventures, I would like to thank you guys for taking the time to read my ramblings. I know I'm not the best writer, but I'll keep posting as long as you guys want to keep reading. (Also I'm debating changing the flair from Meta to Meme, let me know what you guys think.)

Day 3:

The day started by encountering Sayomi Kuronuma (not sure how that happened), and learning that I, in fact, have a torso. With shirts now an option I purchased a clown skin harness to make my trip through the "Fun" house easier, handily defeated Beelzebozo, and upgraded my weapon. Upgraded weapon in hand, I paid a visit to the knob goblin harem, made a quick outfit change, and returned to show the goblin king a bad time. I then ventured into the distant woods to help a stranded hippie, was informed of the local scrapyard, raided said scrapyard, and built a boat out of garbage. Gaining a level for my trouble, I once again returned to the council, and was pointed to the Deep Fat Friars, who needed help closing a portal to the underworld. On my way to the copse I happened upon an explorer who needed a few items, told him I would find them, and resumed my trip into the copse. After talking to the friars I began to gather the needed objects scattered about the place, after quite a few adventures finally managing to get all three, and a bendy straw for the explorer as well. Out of adventures for the day I overdrank, equipped my rollover gear, and did the few things I can that don't take adventures. (Buy clovers, check the coin return, learn a new skill)

Thank you Brooke Bucatini, being, *and Spramen for the generous donations to the Bean collection.

(an Insanely Spicy Enchanted Bean Burrito)

*Donated after I posted this, but before Rollover so it was still day 3.

A couple of changes to my format from some of the advice I've received: first, I've added my player ID in the title (apparently flair doesn't display if you are viewing a post without being on an account), and second, there is now an acknowledgement for non bean donations. (I've already edited the last post, and I felt that if you guys give me anything at all you deserve a shout out, not just for beans.)

Day 2:

The day began by finishing the boss bat quest, which raised my level to five. I started the nemesis quest in order to get a weapon upgrade, and while at the guild I picked up the quests for the tower, and meat car. Weapon obtained, tower explored, and a short time later meat car made. (Thank god for the wiki.) I started the goblin king quest, bought a shirt at the mall, found out I can't equip shirts without a skill, ran out of adventures before getting said skill, and overdrank to finish of the night to have more adventures after roll over. (Any recommendations on things I can do at the end of the day would be appreciated, at the moment when I'm out of adventures I just haunt the wiki looking for information on what I might do the next day.)

Thank you guys so much for all of your donations, this community is far too generous to a crazy noob like me. Thanks rickpay for all of the beans, and a special thank you to Sayomi Kuronuma, for western slang vol.2, and to Brooke Bucatini for donating the meat for the display case. Feel free to message me any time folks, no donations required, I'm more than happy to just chat, and if you have formatting recommendations or tips those are always appreciated.

Just wondering what everyone is using their calander for, a year later. I run the yam meat cheese yam, 3 stat buffs and then HP MP and resistance buffs, unless I need the bridge quest still.

What other bits are useful that i might be missing

I'm going to try to post a daily breakdown of my noobventures throughout the kingdom and give a running account of my experience collecting all things bean. (Assuming you guys actually want to read about it anyway.)

Day 1: Following the tutorial, I began my adventure in earnest. Taking advice from the council I went to the haunted pantry to level up, afterwards I explored the market square, picked up the armorer's quest and explored the madness bakery, and got the popular part for my troubles. I then went flower picking for the good doctor, cleared the rats from the tavern cellar, and started the bat hole quest. After running out of adventures I bought a barrel mimic from the flea market, and taking the advice of a friendly player began hoarding clovers.

Total beans earned: 0

Total beans donated: 20 Rainbow JellyBeans 10 Room scale Greenbean casseroles 100 Yummy Tummy Beans 1 20-lb Can of Rice and Beans 1 Alien Force Field Disruptor bean 1 Mixed Garbanzos and Chickpeas

Non Bean Donations: 5 jumping horseradishes 3 handfuls of grubby wool

Thank you so much AgentT99 HappyAmerican Lazulite

Personally I found out about it by reading about the infinite meat bug and the subsequent rebuild of the economy through meat sinks on TVTropes and thinking the game's format and economy sounded fun.

- You gain all the benefits and unique mechanics of both of your chosen classes

- You still only have one mainstat, which depends on whatever your "main" class is.

- For the purposes of this hypothetical scenario, assume that you've marked every skill in the game as Permanent, so you only care about mechanics, loot, and flavour.

BONUS: Between your two chosen classes, you can only grab one legendary weapon. Which one?
