For those thinking it's only going to ever be 100 points per full stat bump.

Muscle: 79 (need 159 points for next)
Mystic: 35 (need 71 points for next)
Moxie: 43 (need 87 for next).

Looks like it's always current stat * 2 to go to the next full point.

So at:

10 you need 20 points
20 you need 40 points
40 you need 80 points
80 you need 160 points

ouch.....that's at least 5 gourds, 25 firecrackers; 16 nights in camp, about 16 workouts, etc...gets quite difficult.

Someone was on chat thinking 2000 points in each stat would take him to all 100's and everyone was dumb just not doing that. (probably just trolling, but there is a lot of clueless ones there).

Sure you can? Just apply, mention your KoL character's name here and I'm sure FFMCobalt will approve.

ROFL!! I thought you were another person who registered just to fvck up the forums like what's happened in the past. I'll unlock your forum account. :laugh:

<edit>

Fixed. Manually activated, too. Don't worry about your activation code sent via email. I'm having trouble getting to the clan page in KoL. Jick's got some code errors. Something major must have happened this afternoon.

All good things come in boxes.

As for the drinking, it should pop up as a quest in the center of town once you get to a high enough lvl(5 I believe).

How are you getting so much meat?

You need to make a chef-in-the-box. Look on the newbie page for the recipie and item locations. I think it takes a box, spring, chef hat, disembodied skull, and a smart skull. You get the liver of steel in on of the council quest for the deep fat friars, about level 6...

EDIT: I need a good staff for my lvl8 pastamancer, suggestions? I have everything for a Kentucky-Fried Meat Staff, should I get that crafted or should I look at another?

I have two characters at level 7 and it's a chore now to just finish the turns. I started this morning at 6:30 am and play in between workinging on issues, and I still have 90 turns on my second character.

I'm even nerdy enough to create a spreadsheet for where to go at what level and for what drops.

I hear you, creating a second character was a mistake, there are plenty of turns/day with one to keep you busy.

Anyone want a 5th (I think) level seal clubber?

Just sink the extra turns in the clan gym

How are you getting so much meat?

I sold two Mr. As for 4 million each. I buy can lids, spider webs, and firecrackers for 1.5k each and sell them in my store from anywhere between 1995 to 2400. :) Plus buying and reselling other little things here and there. It's really not that hard to make money if you get a slight boost to help you get started.

OK, that's different, you either already got the cash, or you bought MR.A for $. Where is the best way to get meat in the game, where to adventure for high selling items, or just straight meat? I'm a broke fool here, and without a store I can't really sell things that well other than can lids/firecrackers/webs. And those seem hard to get vs. the adventures spent. I have spend 10 adv. and not gotten one of those items to sell.

Well, what I had originally done was just adventure, gather lids and such, and sell them off. I am a Disco Bandit, and we have a skill that allows more item drops. I also have the Mushroom familiar which also allows more item drops. There is a enchant called "Fat Leon's Phat Loot", which again, also allows more item drops.

Eventually, as I got strong enough, I adventured to other places and completed the rest of my quests. If I want to gather some items to sell, I go to the Laboratory in Cobb Knob and get some Scrumptious Reagents, which can only be dropped by Very Mad Scientist. In the chatroom, they sell for about 6750 meat.

I max out my adventures by eating pizza and drinking Salty Dogs. With the Girls of Loathing Calander, the Clockwork Maid, and the Dead Guy's Watch, all together, I probally get about 110-120 adventures per day.

With that many adventures, and all my item drop enchancements, I get around 20-25 Reagents per day. At 6.75k each, you get plenty of money.

I did that before I got my store in the mall. Now I just buy lids/whatever, and resell them at my store for a small profit. Keep doing that, and I have (or in my current case, had) plenty of money.
