Talk:Having a Medicine Ball

From A KoL Wiki

Gaze deeply

If you have the mirror, do you get both effects? Or just the +Myst one. (The current wording implies both.) --Starwed 11:28, 18 December 2006 (CST)

Just got 150 moxie substat while looking into the mirror at the "Having a Medicine Ball" adventure. I'm a level 15 DB, with a base moxie of 204.

You look in the mirror and grin at yourself as you fix your hair. Lookin' good, man! Lookin' real good! You gain 150 Sarcasm.

--LowEndLars 05:16, 9 November 2006 (CST)

Looked into the mirror a second time with same result, 150 moxie substat gain. --LowEndLars 05:21, 9 November 2006 (CST)

I'd like some independent verification on the stat gains without a hand mirror; I only get the listed Moxie substats when it's a Moxie day. Is it the fact that I'm 9th level, is the data off, or what? --Dornbeast 10:40, 25 December 2006 (CST)

I just got 43 moxie from gazing into the mirror, so saying it's from 70-150 is a bit off. I'm changing it to 43-150, though it could almost certainly be even lower still. I'm a level 7 AT with 51 base moxie, 97 mod. --Oddfellow 17:27, 30 December 2006 (CST)

I tried this while having the antique hand mirror seven times, and got these results: 200, 198, 194, 200, 199, 200, 200. I leveled from 13 to 14 in between the fifth and sixth trials, so I'm guessing it doesn't scale with level. --TellKenzine 19:53, 13 January 2007 (CST)

I did this adventure on a Mysticality day (with ancient hand mirror) and instead of the 200 myst stats cap, I got 250 as shown in this selection of a screenshot I took: http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn279/Ironcheff/untitled.jpg Confirmation and testing on moxie days with a person who would normally get the stats capped please.

Guy Made of Bees

Guy Made of Bees

On the forums, Senef says:

"I chose to say Spoiler: The Guy Made Of Bees

in the mirror and got smacked with this: Spoiler: You're fighting The Guy Made Of Bees

No sooner have the words escaped your lips than a harsh, buzzing drone fills the air. A honeybee crawls from the drain of the sink, followed by another, and soon a huge cloud of them swarms around you. The swarm coalesces into a roughly humanoid figure, a horrible parody of a man, formed from a densely-packed swarm of hovering, buzzing bees. A mouth-like hole opens in the figure's "head", and the droning of the swarm modulates into a harsh, grating voice: "We are Bees. We hate you."

Dang, man. You couldn't've summoned Beetlejuice instead? At least he was funny.

You get the jump on it.

You failed to hit the monster.

Your acid-squirting flower squirts your opponent for 3 damage.

The guy made of bees charges you. Man, this thing must weight as much as The Hulk! Eek! Eek! Ow! Ow! Ugh! Eek! Argh! Ouch! Argh! Ow! You lose 69,101 hit points.

You lose. You slink away, dejected and defeated.

Adventure Again (The Haunted Bathroom)

Go back to Spookyraven Manor, Second Floor"

Looks like a tower boss to me, when he does appear. When I tried it nothing happened. However, he's probably not an ultra-rare, since he didn't drop a consolidation ribbon...

Anyone have an idea of what items might/might not work on him?


--Dawnshadow 23:41, 7 November 2006 (CST)

This sounds like the Candyman. As such, I'd assume there's some sort of hint in one of the associated movies - either that or some bizarre connections like [Spoiler] using a disease on the Tower's Easel. Hum. Maybe it's some sort of candy, since he "is" the Candyman?

Posting this for aristina:

You're fighting The Guy Made Of Bees

You hold the mirror up in front of your opponent for a second, and then it slips out of your fingers and shatters on the ground at your feet. As this happens, each of the bees that comprise your opponent disintegrates, and they all fall to the ground in a puff of black and yellow. Pshew. You acquire an effect: Bad Luck (duration: 7 Adventures)

The swarm of bees envelops you, stinging viciously from all sides. Ugh! Ooh! Ouch! Argh! Ow! Oof! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ugh! You lose 97,724 hit points.

You lose. You slink away, dejected and defeated.

Adventure Again (The Haunted Bathroom)

She thinks hand chalk (or something else to grip-strengthen) may be the way to go for this. I agree. More spading!

--Chasing 00:20, 8 November 2006 (CST)

Is the getting of the pollen only once per adventure? --Vesiv

I just defeated The Guy Made Of Bees, and wanted to note a few things:

  • First off, my substat gains: 169 Beefiness, 87 Enchantedness, 83 Roguishness (lev 11 TT, w/35# HS; not a stats day)
  • Also, it says "You acquire an effect: Bad Luck (duration: 7 Adventures) but when I look at the character pane it says Bad Luck (6).
  • I had turned off auto-attack, but I'm wondering if that would turn off on its own anyway? --John. 15:26, 30 January 2007 (CST)

Does the guy made of bees adventure count reset to zero at roll-over? I Think It took me more than five attempts.--Xclockwatcher 09:24, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

Reference

Am I the only one who sees a reference between The Guy Made Of Bees and Bloody Mary? The Guy Made Of Bees appears after you say his name 5 times into a mirror, and Bloody Mary supposedly appears if you say her name into a mirror three times at midnight. --Yammsy 00:36, 23 October 2007 (CDT)

  • Yes: The Guy Made Of Bees references the candyman movies, not bloody mary. see the actual article on the monster for details. In addition, the bloody mary reference isn't accurate, because you have to say it 100 times to summon her (and if you drink 100 extra-spicy bloodies mary, you'll die. of alcohol poisoning.) --CG1:t,c,e 18:19, 23 October 2007 (CDT)

Rollover

  • is the gmob counter reset by rollover? i prepared for the flyers page yesterday by doing this four times, now i come to try it again and have to do five more instead of one. boo hoo. --Evilkolbot 14:41, 5 December 2007 (CST)
    • scratch that, wrong character. --Evilkolbot 14:44, 5 December 2007 (CST)

Gazing Deeply Substat Gains

I'm at level 16 and just gained 250 Wizardliness by Gazing Deeply. This has happened twice so far. Anyone else get this? -- Daltonator 10:14, 19 February 2008 (CST)

  • It's a Mysticality day. --Bagatelle 16:27, 19 February 2008 (CST)

16 June 09 update

Looks like the no-mirror stats for gaze deeply has been changed to roughly 1.0x mainstat in myst (as a PM). --Lordebon 21:17, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

A Disco bandit I use just got 200 Myst with no mirror (with 515 base myst).--Foggy 23:57, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
