Kingdom of Loathing thread

Fri Jun 18, 2004 1:23 pm

Post here questions, info, or tips for the Kingdom of Loathing game.
http://www.kingdomofloathing.com/main.html

Since we seem to have a moderate amount of interest so far, I figured to make it a sticky.

We should have a clan soon as JavaDog and Emkubed are racing to see who can get to lvl 7 first.

More newbie info:
People will buy goblin firecrackers, spider webs, and razor sharp can lids for up to 1.5K ea. They resell them to high-level players who can turn them into stat potions. Great for N00b money building.

First question: Is there a way to quickly view the levels of the people in your contact list? It takes forever to click each one individually.

THIS is one of the most complete guides I have seen. It has spoilers though (which I avoid). The TIPS section is great. The 'Where to find What' section is also very helpful.

No downloads required. Reasonably friendly for low bandwidth as well. Let us know your user ID when you start. Soon we'll have a TR clan.

Just to spoil stuff, I have so much meat, I'll give it away. Message me in the game and ask me for meat. I'll gladly dole it out by the hundreds of thousands.

I've messaged you for a pittance of meat :P

Once we get the clan going tho, all our meat woes shall be over!

What campground items are there? So far I've got a barskin tent, and it says it is power 10 (2%), whatever that means

I ust made it to level 4 by using the gourd potion (gave me 45 beefiness) and eating a disgusting beezle double bacon burger from my evil golden arches (19 beefiness)

sweeeeeet

Edit: Thanks for the meat pal :)

Is the website down? It's giving me error messages

I got an extra account, because I made such a hogs-eye of the first one (didnt understand adventure points)

This one is already at level 4.

I GOT A COTTAGE FOR MY CAMPGROUNDS :D

anticheese + cottage cheese = 30 power housing :D

You have a cozy little cottage (30 power (6%)).
Your KoL Certificate of Participation hangs proudly at your campsite.
A fierce Meat Golem guards your goodies.
You have a Clockwork Maid at your campsite. She cleans up for you, and saves you a little bit of time each day (+4 Adventures/day.)
You've got a pair of Evil Golden Arches. Just looking at them makes you somewhat uncomfortable.
You have a Familiar-Gro™ Terrarium at your campsite.
Your Colossal Closet contains 7 items.


UPDATE:
********* EAT HELL RAMENS **************

You can buy them in the flea market, they are expensive but damn worth it.
Man oh man, that's some tasty ramen. And cheap! Not particularly nutritious, though.
You gain 24 Adventures.

You gain 30 Muscleboundness.
You gain a Muscle point!

You gain 23 Wizardliness.
You gain some Mysticality points!

You gain 25 Cheek.
You gain some Moxie points!

You gain 281 Meat.

By the way, what are the advantages of being in a clan anyway?

Buying a calendar means extra adventures for eveyone in the clan, and equipment can be purchased to boost stats.

I dole them out at will :P

I'm not contributing any more meat to the clan, I've already put in around 90,000. Start donating so we can buy a calender!

How much meat do we need for a calendar? My humble suggestion is ranks should be awarded based on clan karma.
