Talk:Lunchboxing

From A KoL Wiki

Trigger and Frequency

I spent 40ish adventures trying to get this, then decided to do the "Stubbed Toe" miniquest, and got the lunchbox adventure right after I finished. Then I spent 30 more adventures and didnt see this event again. Anyone interested in spading whether its a really rare event, a one time event, or if it's tied to completing the "Stubbed Toe" miniquest? For spading sake, I had a ring of conflict, smooth moves, sneakiness, and the ballroom non-combat song active while I was doing this --Grimdel 15:19, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

  • My guess is that it's just rare, because it seems to have about the same probability as a handful of other new noncombats that drop new items, they've scattered in various places. It's definitely not tied to a miniquest, since I got it without having done said quest. --Neminem 13:11, 4 July 2007 (CDT)

It doesn't appear to be linked to the stubbed toe adventure, as I had a lunchbox adventure within 50 turns, and not doing the stubbed toe adventure. However, I ran a full 200 turns in the Outskirt, and only got the lunchbox adventure once, even though I had both Sonata of Sneakiness and Smooth Movement on. I have to wonder if this is a once per day adventure, or once per ascension. --Lillith 20:31, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

Aftermath

Funny thing just happened - I decided to get the Lunchbox w/ my main and was using the fortune cookie countdown to time this. I started adventuring in the outskirts a couple adventures ahead, but when my count reached zero, he got the When Rocks Attack/Stubbed Toe quest instead (he hasn't done the miniquest this ascension). I declined, thinking my timing was a little off, and adventured a few more adventures till my fortune cookie counter reset. This might be worth a little more spading effort. --Grimdel 05:16, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

  • Went back again - this time I got the lunchbox! Maybe it isn't a 100% guarentee - the RNG has a hand in the adventure appearing? --Grimdel 18:11, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

the lunchboxing text may be a reference to edgar allan poe's telltale heart, where the main character imagines hearing the beating of his own heart as the feeling of guilt of committing murder intensifies over a period of time. --Myst44 08:10, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

Semi-rare

Is it really semi-rare, because I got it twice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HolyCow1234 (talkcontribs) on 20:24, 16 October 2010

  • Clarify. It is fine if you got it twice provided you got some other semi-rare between the two, for example. --Flargen 04:31, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
