Do you drop meat vortexes? Actually, knowing you, you'll probably reply 'only after a curry'

Yeah, you need to train up a set of familiars for the next section as well. Once I get the Star Key, I'll open the last door and be in the hedge maze

[Shade]

Hmm... I could've sworn I put both pieces of star gear in the stash along with the other cavern items, but I appear to have forgotten those. I'll try to remember that before I ascend next time. Just goes with my recent spree of forgetfulness I guess... I had a whole checklist of stuff to remember before I ascended today, and I remembered exactly none of them - Frankly I'm lucky I had even bought the skill I wanted to keep

PS. Accidentally ran into a nice hardcore day-one mana and booze-getting trick for those of us who still have trouble completing the tavern in one day. Set aside a clover for the sleazy back alley, and you'll get 3 drinks which give both adventures and mana, though no stats. Lucky break there, it let me start running familiar buffs from my 15th turn instead of like the 50th

[Mathwiz6]

Green (or w/e color snowcone it is) Pet buffing spray, appropriate item... Empathy (or sympathy, whichever is a buff) (which you can get from a bot char, check Coldfront).

Voila. No training needed for a 21 farmiliar. Insta kill all the sorceress's pets for 2K

Whoops. Do Superhuman and Advanced cocktailcrafting stack, or do they overwrite? I hope they overwrite, cos otherwise I'm gonna have to ascend again in a bit.

[karajorma]

Basically you'll need both to make the best booze.


And I wish someone had mentioned the star hat being missing from the stash. I smashed up over a hundred of them only 4 days ago. I could have easily dumped some in the stash

Once I get past the NS I'll add some more.

[Flipside]

There was a hat in staff in the stash, I just borrowed 'em and put them back

[Colonol Dekker]

Thragor the (one of you  ) hath lent me the bits i need, I'm just trying to earn lines and stars for the star starfish.

[Mathwiz6]

I put the hat and staff in

And I steal them every time I get to level 11. 

Damn, I have to do DB again, even if just for the extra two accessories per day

Whoo, beat the NS again. I find that if you can't afford (or are too lazy to get) red pixel potions, casts work almost as well.

At 1/20 the price, too.

But only with ambidextrous funkslinging

[Flipside]

LOL Yup, that was me Which was why I borrowed the clan set

I'm going to have 2 star keys once I get it back, so I'll drop one of those in the stash as well

[Flipside]

Damn! She's got a bloody levitating potato, and the Barrrnacle is the one familiar that I haven't trained much :/

[karajorma]

Green (or w/e color snowcone it is) Pet buffing spray, appropriate item... Empathy (or sympathy, whichever is a buff) (which you can get from a bot char, check Coldfront).

The tome of snowcone summoning absolutely the best purchase I ever made in the game. Cost me a fortune for the Mr A but I've never regretted it. Unfortunately it will cost newbies over 30 million meat to buy one these days (Really wish I'd bought two now!). Fortunately you can buy the snowcones themselves on the open market for reasonable prices.

If you're struggling flip just shout out as I can buff you with empathy (which give your familiar 5 pounds) and I can send you a pet buffing spray if you don't have a knob goblin uniform to get one yourself. That's 10 pounds of potato you don't have to get

[Flipside]

Hmmmm I might take you up on that, combined with the leash of linguini and since that'd also include the familiars equipment, that would jump it straight up to 20lbs

[Colonol Dekker]

My Limes 25LB, but the Hole in the sky keeps raping me silly while i'm trying to get this fricking Fish, The star-charts are just drops right?

What are you sporting familiar wise? doesnt lead necklace fit anything?

[Flipside]

You need to apply the stars and lines to a Star Chart, you need to use a Star Chart and then it'll ask for a number of stars and lines, use 6 stars and 4 lines for a Starfish.

The lead necklace does fit anything, whereas you can get specific items for specific famliars, for example Cocoabo weighs 5lb more when you quip it with the chocolate spurs, but only gains 1lb for a lead necklace

[Colonol Dekker]

Fair enough, has anyone got a spare star + line and star starfish chart *drops several meat vortexes*

[Flipside]

Ding Dong the ***** is dead

Ok, that was harder than I make it sound, it took about 8 attempts, theres nothing more depressing than sitting reading, over and over again, 'As you try to use that skill.....'

[Mathwiz6]

Bah, my sauceror didn't quite make it to inside cobb's know today

Knew I shoulda saved hagnk pulls

Ah well, tommorow, a new era arises. The era of... Reagent Pasta! 

[phatosealpha]

Is there a newbie guide for this?  I've been trying, and it's fun, but I'm getting nowhere.

[Shade]

There is a documentation link in the top menu, which explains the basics. If that's not enough, there's the KoL Wiki, but be warned that this is filled with spoilers and should be avoided if you want to figure something out for yourself.

[karajorma]

Well I've managed to beat the NS again and I'm planning on laying the smack down at Spookyraven manor before I ascend. That leaves me with nearly 200 turns to burn off and almost 1500 points worth of mana I have absolutely no use for.

As usual I'll be buffing random members of the clan. If there's anything in particular you want shout out

Here's what I have that I can buff you with.

Empathy of the Newt (HP)
Tenacity of the Snapper (HP)
Astral Shell (HP)
Aloysius' Antiphon of Aptitude (HP)
The Moxious Madrigal (HP)
The Polka of Plenty (HP)
Fat Leon's Phat Loot Lyric (HP)
Stevedave's Shanty of Superiority (HP)

In addition if there is any furniture you want added to the rumpus room feel free to shout out now.

[Colonol Dekker]

Moxious Madrigal pls- And is there an e-ikea catalogue?
Or at least a K(ol)atologe?
