Did you remember o get pride at turn 0 (after eating 5 food)? Listing when you get BM and guild skills helps. Isn't it better to get Pride after turn 7 as muscle class (at the start of d2)? It's only 5 (or maybe even 4 with artist quest) combats without +4 stats = 10 (8) mainstat lost, but you will...

30 turns of shieldgen leveling aren't necessary usually (at least from my hco/hcb/hct AT experience). 20 turns are enough. Also consider using stringozzi serpent and tobiko marble soda to kill high-level monsters here. And keep your muscle low.

NightBird

Got assassin with +1% C (hound dog). So +5% is not a minimum requirement.

NightBird

+15% (ballroom song not set), 0 turns spent in lair before that, 0 free runaways used:

NA(olfaction used)NNNNNANA

Looks like olfaction isn't effective.

Congrats, Twillo!

Great work, clannies

Congrats, Draco! Excellent run

Wow! Congrats, bennie!

Excellent, TE

That's correct. Wandering monsters may appear in hidden city. I usually try to fight 2-3 quantum mechanics here for example.

Nice run, Phil :thumbs: After reading it I'd like to suggest for you next hco run using more runaways (& ++combats) in barrr, in orc chasm (if your fax plan don't let you skip it) and use your RO runaways with ++combats & +ML & Bugged Bugbear in tavern. Also, I tested powerleveling in shield generat...

NightBird

Here's a question. Wiki indicates that I should have, without a doubt, got my boots to trigger. Except I was charging them with runaways. Do you need to kill the monster to charge the boots? I think, you need to kill the monster and trigger code, which is executed at the end of combat. I tried to c...

Look here (Iron Bob's strategy): http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/ ... p?t=190916 Using shield generator at level 9 with ++moxie may speed up your powerleveling. But it also means that you need YR hippy early to get access to olives.

NightBird

Some additional tips about HCB: - take KGE as first semirare with free runaways (use them in kitchens as it's 100% combat area). If you have no semirare after using all free runaways, go to barracks. If you got full outfit before semirare again, get distilled wine from sleazy back alley/cyclops eyed...

DoD and wand only b/c of black pepper? NIce run, NB! Thanks. About black pepper: is there a more reliable way to get it?

It's actually 748.5, as I'd miscalculated with the maid (getting it on day 3 means no effect until day 4) . That is including 10 from labor day and 6 from fashionably late, which is why it's a tad higher than I was first expecting. Also, borrowed time on day 7 is included! 748.5? You may try for 6-...

Awesome

NightBird

Awesome run, Phil

And how many tower monsters did you killed with salamanderenity+fire fist?

NightBird

quake of arrows over the quads

I'll definitely take quake (especially after recent delay() update).

Oh, a BRA on the bandits for the nuns trick. Interesting idea. Was the 2nd bandit a waste, or what?

No, I got him in hidden city, so he helped me to explore one of squares.

NightBird

Wow, very nice! Especially for that nasty tower you got. I'll take a look at the log itself later. Thanks :) Do you think getting the quads was worth 5 turns? I guess with needing a G-string I can understand, but would you have done it again if you hadn't gotten such a nasty tower? No, of course: i...

Nice log and awesome run, Omri. Congrats

NightBird

Nice run! I think your knack of tying for the #1 spot is quite odd :) Thanks :) I saw Omri's run and HCB leaderboards after finishing my run, so it's just coincidence. Your stat days were 3/4 because you were planning a 4-day. If you'd been doing a 5-day, would you have gone with stat days 3/4 or 4...

Interesting. Thanks. I'll try it next SA run :) But iirc, I summoned 2 orange candy hearts, which tuned my SA spells for 20 turns of sewerleveling and allowed me to cast noodles->hot aligned wave->hot aligned geyser (without casting saucestorm). Also not using mimic during lvl 6 quest means less mea...

Also: How many turns of sewerlevelling do you need for liver in ~140 turns, considering that you'd need to hit L6 in ~70-80 turns?

I would be able to use that earlier on as well until halfway level 10 to run ML as well, after which I'd need more damage output to handle higher monster levels.

It works in hidden city: hipster fights may override normal squares (tested), but won't override altars/spirits/etc (my assumption). At least you will see what was in square after hipster fight.

Regarding the extra turns: Top means you spent the turns between the 3rd Azazel item and steel margarita at the gate, which you don't have to (and shouldn't). Once you get the 3rd item, you can spend 7 or 10 or however many turns away, and then come back for the steel margarita. Sometimes you may w...
