Talk:Moveable feast

From A KoL Wiki

My familiar started to give random elemental attacks. I'll post some right here.

Amingo tosses a tureen of hot gravy at it, dealing 23 damage. (hot)

Amingo tosses a gob of foul-smelling oyster stuffing at it, dealing 18 damage. (stench)

Amingo pelts it with a greasy turkey leg, dealing 14 damage.(sleaze)

Amingo flicks a ladleful of cold mashed turnips at it, dealing 23 damage. (cold)

Amingo grabs a fork off of the feast table and hurls it at it, dealing 23 damage. (normal)

These attacks occurred side-by-side with my familiars regular attacks, also I couldn't get the spooky (I was adventuring in the haunted bedroom), Amingo was 24 pounds during the adventuring. Also I'd like to mention that there seems like there are one of each message for said attacks. --Emperornortonii 06:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)


Mr. toothy lets loose a resounding belch. Looks like he finally managed to digest all of that food.

This happened 20 combats after using the moveable feast.--Jcowley 12:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Does this do anything special with the greedy green ghost?--Tombot 14:38, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Adventuring at the icy peak, I'm only getting spooky and hot messages, so it looks like it is tuned to the elemental vulnerabilities of the target.--Arbarbonif 22:04, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

10 Pounds

Is the 10 pounds gained by eating the feast permanent (for a given ascension), provided you don't adventure with the familiar? If so... this seems like a way of making the familiar weight trophies really quite easy to get. (50 free pounds a day, so only 10 days to get Black Hole Terrarium if this is the case). --Lordebon 14:20, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

  • From my limited toying with this, the 10 pounds is just a buff (at least it was for my full-weight familiar). I would imagine the well-fed familiars reset the next day.--Foggy 14:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the well fed effect disappears at rollover. --Dreamthief 12:33, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

A yendorian express card will not increase rounds of of this effect. --Dreamthief 16:10, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Does it work like agua de vida, and even combats that don't expend a turn from poppering/tattering/etc. use one of its 20 turns? --Deathless Assassin 15:53, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Reference

I don't see any connection to Hemmingway beyond the name. Unless there's something I'm missing, I do not see that as a reference at all --Lordebon 04:03, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

  • i must concur. perhaps a note is called for. --Evilkolbot 14:18, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
  • While not a reference to Hemmingway, it is clear that the name is referencing the more generic term moveable feast, or else it would be "feast on a cart" or "meal on wheels" or something. Perhaps we could say something like: "The term moveable feast generally refers to holidays whose date changes every year, or more generally, a party on the move." And then we might stop the edit war? --Quince23 14:53, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
    • It's not even a reference, really. It's just a pun. Other than a glancing mention of Thanksgiving (which has to do with gluttony in this case, not the actual celebration), it has nothing to do with an event of any kind. It's just a frickin' big meal on wheels...so it moves. There happens to be a common-use (relatively speaking) phrase "movable feast" that adds a bit of humor. - Msanychta (talk|contribs) 15:26, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


Jick did specifically mention Hemingway in regards to this item on the radio show, so it is likely a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eigenbasis (talk • contribs) on 21:27, 7 November 2009 (UCT)

Do you have a link to the transcript for that show? Also, sign your posts. --Lordebon 21:42, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
I asked the radio again, and Jick said that it was a Hemingway reference. http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com:8080/vb/showthread.php?t=178438 --Nightvol 16:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
don't care. if it's really a reference (and not just jick giving in to whining, again) then get him to put an actual reference in. --Evilkolbot 21:19, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
I listened to that show myself, and while it doesn't appear to be online anywhere, I recall him being serious in his answer. I'm putting the reference back in. --TechSmurf 02:26, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I just fought the sorceress and my familiar is still well fed so while it's a buff of sorts, there is a difference.--Dessalvara 06:06, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

GGG

Any hidden effects when used with the Gluttinous Green Ghoul? I mean, there SHOULD be, if there isn't...--AltyMcAltAlt 10:24, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

can't be used in hardcore

This is really only going to be relevant for 24 more hours. However. Not only can't this item be equipped in hardcore, but additionally, even though the '[use]' link isn't crossed-out, it can't be used in hardcore either. So, no equipping it on your familiar, and no using it to buff your familiar. --Bleary 03:07, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Shocking that a non familiar/skill OTM can't be used in hardcore. Really.--Toffile 03:10, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Spading

Did some light spading with this. It gave 2064 actions across 6045 rounds = 34.14% with a 95% CI of +/- 1.19%, so 33.33% or 35% are still in the running. Could do a lot more later, but yeah. --RoyalTonberry 23:29, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Actually, looking at my data some more, I was fighting all spooky monsters, the feast's attacks were split like so: 1052 Stench, 1012 Hot, 0 Cold, 0 Sleaze, 0 Spooky. So it looks like the Feast will actually tune its attacks to be strong versus whatever monster you're facing. --RoyalTonberry 23:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Interaction with runaways

Do free runaways decrement the counter for the buff? This should be easy enough to test. Apologies if this is already known; I couldn't find this info on the page. --Shademaster00 00:49, 21 September 2011 (CEST)
