Talk:Release the Boots

From A KoL Wiki

This skill did damage, but did not create paste from the Bonerdagon, Confirm if you will Serin 07:02, 1 August 2011 (CEST)

I had the same thing happen against Lord Spookyraven.--AndyDe 07:38, 1 August 2011 (CEST)

  • tried this skill again on the tower monsters. they also appear to be counted as bosses for this skill --AndyDe 09:55, 3 August 2011 (CEST)
  • Useful note: it seems the dead drunk day wandering monsters are bosses, as far as this skill is concerned. Unfortunately for me; I was looking forward to getting *something* out of it being said holiday while I was in HCT. --Neminem 07:30, 3 August 2011 (CEST)

Availability

I was just running up against Nemesis Slimes, and trying to get all 3 to see if they could get the Boots Put To Them, medium style. I had the skill available from one, didn't use it, and it seemed to carry over to the next fight. So, it appears to get "charged", just like the combat text, then is stored til it's released.--Mstieler 09:11, 1 August 2011 (CEST)

I used it against Hodgeman and it only did 80 points. Needless to say I got my posterior handed to me.--Gnarl MantUSAk 01:12, 14 August 2011 (CEST)

Monster Types

The type of paste created depends upon the type of monster stomped. While we should eventually categorize monsters by type, and probably make a list of the monster types available at Monster Types, I think we could start here, since this is currently one of the only ways to tell monster type. When you stomp a monster, please list it under its monster type below, according to its paste drop. --Southwest 07:31, 1 August 2011 (CEST)

Squish into strange paste. I'm not sure what category these are. Squish into gooey paste. I'm not sure what category these are. Squish into greasy paste. I'm not sure what category these are.

Gremlins also seem to squash into greasy paste.--Omegle2357 17:10, 1 August 2011 (CEST)

Shield Generator monsters stomp into ` indescribably horrible paste ` ~ AvangionQ / August 1st, 2011

Just created the Monster types page with all of this information, we can probably remove the chart from here.. --Serin 13:45, 1 August 2011 (CEST)

The 23 monster categories

Assuming bosses are one of the 23 categories and the only one without a paste, we should now have a full paste list with the 22 known pastes. Figuring out where the few unclear pastes come from should make the monster categories clear.--Nerdanel 20:25, 1 August 2011 (CEST)

I was thinking that the last paste could be for the new enemies once bes hate you gets replaced since I heard that will happen later this month.--Stumpsmcgee 05:06, 2 August 2011 (CEST)

Bosses

Looks like this can kill bosses, but there is no boss paste.

You're fighting Baron von Ratsworth
Paddy wacker shuffles its heels, gets a running start, then leaps on him and stomps mightily for 108 damage.
You win the fight!
Paddy wacker does the bottom part of an Irish jig.
You acquire an item: Baron von Ratsworth's monocle

  • Agreed. My boots just killed Victor the Insult Comic Hellhound, and I got the puppet and stats as normal. 14 pound boots did 96 damage, if we're still trying to compute X. --Johnny Treehugger 22:00, 12 August 2011 (CEST)

Spading on Bonerdagon: 90 damage, did not block skill (can skill be blocked?) --Lord Kes 13:07, 17 August 2011 (CEST)

Feast of Boris: 10 lbs boots did 108 damage to a stuffing golem. It seems the FoB's are "boss" monsters. --Granite_Grizz 10:41, 25 September 2011 (PST)

My 54 lbs boots did 104 damage to a wumpus, followed immediately within the same combat round by a regular attack for 55. The wumpus lived. I don't think release the boots damage is related to weight at all. --Foobar 00:55, 17 January 2012 (CET)

Weight Damage
4 103
5 94
6 94, 109
7 90
10 108
14 96, 104
15 101
17 97, 101
25 91, 98, 110
54 104

Range looks to be 90-110 against bosses, independent of weight. --TechSmurf 09:26, 8 August 2012 (CEST)

Add as a data type for monsters?

Will the type of paste a monster can be stomped into become a data type for combat encounters? E.g.:


Normal hobo -- (edit metadata)

Item Drops: 'WILL WORK FOR BOOZE' sign, corncob pipe, cup of infinite pencils, frayed rope belt, hobo nickel, lucky bottlecap, Mr. Joe's bangles, panhandle panhandling hat, rusty piece of rebar
Meat Drop: None
Monster Level: 300 • Substat Gain: 75 • Moxie for No Hit*: 310
Monster Defense: 270
Hit Points: 400
Initiative: 100
Elemental Alignment: None
S.P.E.C.I.E.S.*: Hobo Paste


* "Specific Paste Emerges Circa Instant End Stomp" (ha ha) --Hanleybrand 02:57, 2 August 2011 (CEST)

I'm pretty sure we'll include it as part of monster data, and show it in infoboxes. We'll need to figure out the best place to put it in the format above. --Starwed 03:15, 2 August 2011 (CEST)

Trophy idea

Just a concept of mine, has anybody tried getting all the flavors at once before?--Tombot 16:02, 3 August 2011 (CEST)

El Dia de Los Muertos Borrachos

The monsters from El Dia de Los Muertos Borrachos do not provide a paste, they drop the appropriate drink instead.

--Squirrelkin2 18:52, 3 August 2011 (CEST)

Bounty Hunting

While on a bounty for sammich crusts I released the boots on a Spam Witch. She got stomped into paste, but no crust dropped. I've reported it as a bug. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 21:17, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

  • that'd not be a bug, i'd say. bounty items are optional. you choose to stop them dropping by squishing and own stupid fault applies. you don't, in gameplay terms, lose anything you can't get with more turns. still, i've been wrong before. --Evilkolbot 21:42, 5 August 2011 (CEST)
    • I got a reply back saying the behavior is intentional. Also the ability to stomp Infernal Seals is intentional. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 00:03, 6 August 2011 (CEST)

Busker Do Effect

It appears that stomping an enemy in The Sea while having the effect of Busker Do will still allow the drop of the Sand dollar at the end of combat (along with the appropriate paste) --Monji 21:23, 9 August 2011 (CEST)

-

Can someone add a third row for adventures gained to the main page table. Also, to add the same information to the Best Spleen page table. - AvangionQ / August 14, 2011.

  • Adventures gained appear to be the same for every type of paste (not quite yet, but they all have a lower bound of 5 or 6 adventures, and cap at 9 or 10). 5-10 adventures is the likely range, which is the same as a coffee pixie stick or a agua de vida.--Toffile 19:27, 14 August 2011 (CEST)

Notable?

Don't know if this is notable but if you smash an enemy on the hippy-frat battlefield it will still advance the counter if you have done any sidequests (just like a normal victory).--Chunky_boo 23:14, 14 August 2011 (CEST)

Stealing

You can steal items through the moxie classes pickpocket and stomp the enemy afterwards to get both 1 item and paste. This also works for the Disco Bandit's disco combo 'Rave Steal' which can knock loose an item. I have no way to test if this works for the tiny black hole, v for vivala mask, form of bird and other forms of stealing, but I assume they will. --Baardbarian

Special non-stompable

The monsters from CLEESH are non-stompable. The boots do damage (per write up on main page ...shuffles feet), and you gain the single xp and standard item drop.--MageRed 15:45, 10 June 2012 (CEST)
