Talk:Purity of Essence

From A KoL Wiki

Well, I suspect tomorrow I'll get this. The pic is obviously of all three intrinsics. But if you get one intrinsic you don't seem to be able to get another but yesterday I got two. Buy checking the count you can get multiple intrinsic if you obtain them in the same combat round. So it seems to be a trivial matter (skills dependent) on being able to have combats that can survive all three attacks. The question is: is it order dependant? That is, do you need to do your own path's intrinsic last and your minor stats in a give order.-- djve 21:30 13 Sep 2013
I don't know how I got two intrinsics as I couldn't repeat it and had the same results as Erick. --User:Djve/sig 21:39 14 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Well, if it is get all three intrinsics at once, that's an idea I hadn't considered. Presumably you can get 14 of 15 qualifying attacks in advance, then do one of each in a final clincher. Getting three attacks in shouldn't be hard, if you were able to do 3x14 = 42 attacks in the previous 39 adv, for worst case.
  • I had looked at this and figured that it was three ascensions an allegiance to a single clique for each. In which case, I'm not getting it soon. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 05:56, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
  • One thing to think about is also trying to align each clique with your main stat. Muscle doing solely jocks, myst nerds, and moxie greasers. (While doing 1 per ascension, of course.)Jletter (talk) 15:57, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
    • I believe that's what Aeshma, who found and has the trophy, did.--Cannonfire40 (talk) 19:50, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
  • I tried to get all 3 at once. Fail. When I got the greaser one I couldn't get the others in the same combat. I know it was mentioned that it needs to be in the same round, but how could that happen? ~Erich t/c 22:25, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Cannonfire but does that mean only doing one pure run for each class? -- djve

I imagine it is either:

  1. Committing to only one clique per ascension
  2. Committing to each clique when it matches your main stat
  3. Committing to a clique AND that cliques zone for a day/ascension
  4. Only using myst/mus/mox skills for the day/ascension while you are that clique

  • "either" suggests two, but that's not important right now. also, using # as a paragraph leader will number your items and insert a paragraph break. cool, huh? also also, if you are going to use html tags, the standard is to use an extra slash for unclosed tags like this: <br />.
  • from what i've read it seems to be simply getting the same intrinsic every time you get one, and if you "sit with the" you only get stats. so you can miss days, you can not get stats, class/main stat is irrelevant, and you can adventure in the "wrong" class or not at all. or at least that's what i'm banking on. next ascension should tell me if i'm wrong, and if i am i'll have to spade out why. --Evilkolbot (talk) 12:31, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
  • number one worked for me: first ascension muscle class that got the jock buff each day; second run myst class that got the nerds one; third run moxie class that got the greaser one every day. trophy was available after ascending again after the third run. --cameron (talk) 00:30, 23 October 2013 (UTC)


I also got the trophy in three runs by following number one. As an SC, I only got the nerdbuff. As a TT, I I only got the jock buff. As an AT, I only got the greaser buff. I always sat at the lunch table with my clique. I only ever adventured in my factions corresponding zone. (Mus - Woodshop, Mox - Art Class, Myst - Science Class). Number four is out. I definitely used noodles as muscle class and moxie class. I just didn't use them enough to get buffed The trophy was available after I ascended the third time not when I broke the third prism. Here is the text that the trophy hut had for me. - "You're entitled to the "Purity of Essence" Trophy, for fully committing to each KoL High School clique."

I also just qualified for the trophy. I did not only ever adventure in "corresponding zones", so that one is also out. Pretty sure "committing to only one clique per ascension" is it. --Akatosh (talk) 11:06, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I got the trophy today, and did my three runs in a different order. I did SC (mus), DB (moxie), and PM (myst). I only adventured in the hallowed halls. I never adventured in any of the other zones. --[User:Pazsox]] 3:44pm, 28 October 2013 (EST)

Got the trophy doing SC (jock), SA (geek), DB (greaser). I did adventure in non-faction zones (e.g. in the Shop class on an ascension where I was only getting greaser intrinsics). From all the above, and what's been posted on the forums, it seems that the only requirement is: For each of the three factions you perform an ascension where you gain their intrinsic at least once, and do not get any other factions intrinsic. That's the simplest explanation that fits, and I haven't seen any counterexamples posted. --Darkcodelagsniper (talk) 22:08, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
