Kickass Online Game (www.kingdomofloathing.com)

It's a fun, and funny, RPG game that's expansive and really really easy to use. You can play Multi-Player and Singleplayer, and it does go pretty in-depth for a simple 'Point and Click' Adventure.

EDIT: Make that I have started the clan, "The Mediocre Men of SDN"...

You're in. Enjoy it, I'm Robgea, a friend of mine (who doesn't frequent here) is Dth, and I have no clue who Brandi is.

Anyway, if you need any help just ask and I'll do whatever I can for you...

Woo I've been accepted. I hear talk about meat trees and shit: apparently having a clan is complicated. I've got no adventures for 6 hours: let me know if there are any missions to be done after that.

I started playing today, playing a Pastamancer. I have him almost to level 3, and I am waiting for midnight to get my next set of adventures. I have some questions about a few things if anyone would be willing to answer them.

I'd like to know if there's a way to improve the chances of getting stat bonuses for the stat you want: my stats are rising at roughly the same speed, but I realy only want Moxie.

1. How do I get through the tests at the Hall of Chef-Magi? Do I need a certain Mysticality score for each, or are they just random?

2. How does combining items work?

3. Is there any other way to get food than just finding it at random?

Yes, yes you can, you've got to apply first by going to the clan halls and searching for SDN, the full title of the thing will be, however, "The Mediocre Men of SDN" ...
1. How do I get through the tests at the Hall of Chef-Magi? Do I need a certain Mysticality score for each, or are they just random?
Yes, for the Brotherhood of the Smack down I think it was 20/25/30 or some such. Once you hit about level five it all stop mattering.
2. How does combining items work?
You make meat paste, and then after you have that there should be a link at the top of your inventory that says "combine items" click on that and you'll see a drop down menu and an obvious combining button. Pick two things that will go together, and then combine them, and you'll get a new item.
3. Is there any other way to get food than just finding it at random?
You can buy it too, and later you can cook foods. This'll become easier as you level up, and trust me it's worth it.
I'd like to know if there's a way to improve the chances of getting stat bonuses for the stat you want: my stats are rising at roughly the same speed, but I realy only want Moxie
Your Moxie is, actually, going up faster than the others, the difference is just so small you can't recognize it yet. That being said there are certain enemies/places that increase your moxie, the one that I know immeadietly off hand is the Bar, but that can cost a fair bit of meat so you might want to stave off on that. Just adventure for now, and let it come as it comes.[/quote]

I have found that the seedy alley is giving me +5 smarm frequently: I've almost got level four out of my 40 turns getting a gourd potion.

I love the test at the Altar of Literacy (required to prove yourself worthy to use the chat). That's hilarious.

I've gotten my character to level 3, and I have a few things to do.
1. I have to pump my Mysticality to beat the last Chef-Magi test so I can learn skills.
2. I have to acquire 6 can lids to give the guy at the Gourd Tower. I hope I get another Gourd Potion.
3. I have to pump up my Muscle so I can kill the drunk rat at the Tavern. In fact, I still have to rest up from my most recent encounter. with it.
4. I have to start using my familiar, a mosquito I named Mippy.
5. Save up 3 grand so I can purchase the hammer, the oven and the cocktail kit.

Since there aren't 'crafting skillz', I don't think there's much point everyone getting a hammer and oven and shit. We need to coordinate :D

I've actually already got an Oven (with Chef!) and Bartender. I'm more than willing to cook and cocktail for you guys for now (I'll even help supply ingredients) but that's also stuff you should do, because it'll help you and your Chars ALOT.
