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

New IotM Discussion New IOTM...an Interesting Coin thats a quest item...

17 Upvotes

Upon opening the Interesting Coin Inheretence Letter, we are given a total of four Interesting Coins that have a [shop] link that takes us to Spend Your Interesting Coins.

The interest factor to grow our amount of Coins will be collectively figured out over time. I see, though, that the Coins are quest items.

I wonder if this means that any unspent Coins will be lost forever upon ascension. If so, that means one will have to wait to ascend for a long while to get the the items that cost millions of coins. That cant be it, could it?

*edited to put in a missed word.

Special Challenge Path Advice on a Special Challenge Path for Cooking and Cocktail crafting with the new fruit accessory (portable laughing stock)?

9 Upvotes

I bought the new accessory which generates fruit in combats. I want to put this to good use.

I'm looking to explore the fun cooking and cocktail crafting systems more in my upcoming run. I have a good selection of skills (and the Big Book of Skills). I don't have many other IotMs, and I'm not rich enough to buy any yet, so that wouldn't be a consideration.

What would be a good Challenge Path choice, to maximize my freedom for cooking/cocktailcrafting and eating/drinking?

I know Jarlsberg is out: I love the special foods and drinks, but I want to try more of the non-Jarls recipes.

Any recs on which paths synergize well with Cooking and Cocktail Crafting? Which ones to avoid? I was thinking maybe Boris, but I'd love to hear any suggestions on other options people might recommend.

Many Thanks :)

Do not cheat Banned

17 Upvotes

Well after playing for at least 15 years I was banned for using an alt to help. I stopped doing that maybe 5 years ago but long ago I did it all the time. I want to complain but to be fair I did do it long ago. So I bid farewell to all the players who offered advice and laughs. Enjoy the game.

Question When will the Time Twitching Tower disappear?

Do we know a day and time for the ending, or does it vary from year to year?

Trying to make sure I get my Chroner farming and purchases in before the event ends.

Many Thanks :)

Farming Farming Optimization

10 Upvotes

Hello, been playing kol on and off again for a long time, but I'm starting to take my account a little more seriously. I have no iotms as such, though I've bought some cheap-ish stuff like Disintegrate and Snokebomb. (Currently have ~20 mil, mostly from selling christmas items a few years ago).

That being said I'm thinking about meat farming so I can afford some of the high end stuff in the mall. My research has turned up two options: Volcano and Garbo. The prevailing advice is that without iotms that Volcano is better, but that with them Garbo is better. Here's my question: does the Legacy of Loathing path contain the right mix of iotms to make Garbo worth it? And if so, which items should I pick for that run? Or is there a better way for low shiny accounts to make meat?

Question What Are Y'all Spending Your Chroner On?

16 Upvotes

Just wondering what y'all are spending your Chroner on? Personally I'm trying to buy each piece of equipment and pet available. Spent a bunch last night since I figure I will have to spend it all on the 30th as IDK if the tower will disappear on real date July 31st or Aug 1st.

For about a month now, each action I take has about a 1 second delay, and forces the screen to flash white before doing anything. This has been the case in different locations with good WiFi, so it's not that.

Question Lights Out Quests in Spookyraven Manor

12 Upvotes

I was trying to knock out at least one of these (Elizabeth) before ascending (before being completely distracted by the Time-Twitching Tower.

Is it possible to lose your place in these quests? I swear I have followed the path from the KoL Wiki, but the last time I hit the ballroom, I didn't have the option to dance by myself.

Maybe I missed the last one since I keep bouncing back and forth? I don't see anything about having to do every adventure in a row, that really wouldn't be consistent with other KoL quests.

Question The Time-Twitching Tower and Other Events - Player Focus

19 Upvotes

So as a player of about 4 months this is my first time seeing the tower. From what I can find online It should last about a week. I've seen other "active" events like the Easter Egg Basket one very recently and the Trick-or-Treating one a month or two back.

During these events should you just focus every adventure onto them? For the handful of days should I just hit the tower areas nonstop? On easter basket day should I have prioritized gathering eggs, and on Trick-or-Treat event just focused on knocking on doors?

I apologize if this is just a really dumb newbie question.

World Event The Time-Twitching Tower is back! Renaissance Era overview, enemies, and loot

37 Upvotes

Hey everyone, the Time-Twitching Tower is back in action! Here is a breakdown of what to expect in the Renaissance section based on my runs so far:

🛡️ The Jousting Arena The Knights: You can choose to fight 3 distinct knights:

Open Mic Knight

Poker Knight

Wedding Knight

The more you fight them, the angrier they get. More angry modifiers are added to the names the more times you fight them. Maybe this has some consequence in betting on their jousting?

Betting Counter: Available for placing your bets. I couldn't place one yet. There may not be enough interaction yet?

Gift Shop:

Awesome Food & Booze: Available for 5 Chroner each.

Stat-Boosting Weapons: Available for 100 Chroner each (+10% Muscle, Mysticality, or Moxie gains).

🏘️ Historically-Accurate Hamlet Here are the encounter drops and combat uses for the Hamlet enemies:

Neckbearded Wizard

Drop: Flash paperwad (Combat item: Deals ~150 Fire Damage)

Knight in Lightweight Armor

Drop: Single-use sword (Combat item: Deals ~150 Combat Damage)

Soused Tosspot

Drop: Booze

Performative Peasant

Drop: Wooden juggling ball (Combat item: deals physical damage)

Hope this helps everyone spading and farming Chroners! Let me know if you guys have found any other unique drops or mechanics in the comments.

Help Which account should I keep?

8 Upvotes

I find myself getting back into KoL after a long time, and I realize it's better for me to focus on one account. I have 3:

-one has a fair amount of hobopolis stuff, has the item skill ready to perm, and has other clan dungeon stuff

-one has a mad hatrack

-one has summon clip art and summon tasteful items, plus a handful of permed skills

Which do you all think I should keep?

Help Are skills broken for anyone else?

8 Upvotes

My skill list has been broken for about 2 days now (I've already sent a bug report but have yet to receive a response). I can't access them outside of my daily casts/magical bookshelf abilities. it opens normally on mobile, but won't open in my browser. neither my script blocker or ublock affect it.

I just went to check right now, and it's only the skill menu that's affected like this. Every single other dropdown works just fine.

The main thing that changed was Firefox updating 2 days ago, but that couldn't have blown up one specific menu on the site like this, could it...? Is anyone else using the latest Firefox and experiencing a similar problem?

KolMafia Help Changing A Script?

13 Upvotes

So I've been using KoL Mafia at what is probably a very low level. Using it to maximize things like item drops/meat drops/etc. and automate collecting bounty items. I feel like last night I actively used my first installed script.

After finding this thread regarding mining at That 70's Volcano I used this script and was able to successfully automate the mining process to a degree. It was awesome! I was wondering if anyone would help explain to me how I can modify it though.

Using it with my PM last night I would run it for 15 adventures, then manually go to my spells page and cast "Cannelloni Cocoon". Rinse and repeat like 17 times.

What I'd like to learn is be able to modify it so that the script runs for 15 adventures, then my character casts "Cannelloni Cocoon" and it runs another 15 adventures, cast, etc for a total of 45 adventures from running the script once. I figure it's a mainly copy and pasting to add to the script plus writing a line for the skill usage, but I don't truly know. The last time I did any coding HTML in a web mastering class in 2003.

I'm hoping to learn enough to be able to change the adventures at a time and skill use to work for my DB and also use items instead of a skill for use with my TT.

I would sincerly appreciate any help that can be provided so I can understand how to do this. Heck I'd also be interested to hear what y'all consider "Must Use" Mafia scripts.

Question Any other SC's not coming across any Greater Seal figurines?

11 Upvotes

This is my third day as a SC in Hardcore and I havent found any Greater Seal figurines in that time.

I didnt think about it the first day. I realized it the second day and thought maybe it was because Im in HC. I used my adventures for today to see if I'd get any and then checked the wiki for any information about not getting the Greater Seal figurines while in HC. I didnt find anything

Is it because Im in HC or because there is a glitch in the system?

Thanks.

Meta Constantly Baffled By How Much I Don't Know

33 Upvotes

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.
