Hi mein

Hi Meins

Hi meins are an improved type of chow mein. Pulverize is required to get the elemental nuggets for the sauces, while The Way of Sauce is required to make the sauces with the nuggets and scrumdiddlyumptious solutions, and finally Transcendental Noodlecraft is required to combine the sauce with noodles to create the Hi Mein.

Access to The Malus of Forethought is only available to Muscle classes. Therefore, characters in Hardcore playing other classes will have to wait until they've found and smashed equipment good enough to produce elemental nuggets without the Malus' special combining properties. The Pulverize a... column lists a lower-level option for nuggets, although some level-independent options like the Cerebral Crossbow also exist.
