Talk:Richard's Redoubt
Scarehobo?
So what does a scarehobo actually do? Kill more hobos so that you get closer to the next stage (i. e. a new location becoming accessible?) Something else? Anelej 06:19, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
- Insofar as I've seen, this is exactly it. Numbers, I don't know, and we won't know until some clan with too much time on its hands (or one guy with ridiculous spreadsheeting/calc.exe ability) figures it out --InvalidUser 17:29, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
- When I used a scarehobo, I got access to burnbarrel bvd. Dunno if the number of dead hobos factored into this. When I used a second one, nothing happened. --Grimdel 17:36, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
Got to image 7 precisely (killing one at a time and checking the image each time, incidentally, 750 kills). Then made a bunch of scarehobos. Nobody else adventuring at this time. The pattern of kills per image seems to be 125 for each after image 2. 16 scarehobos brought up image 8, another 14 image 9 and then 17 for image 10. If the scarehobos have a constant range of dead hobos, then the minimum must be no more than 7 and the maximum no less than 9, with this information suggesting the average might be in the region of 8. --BigBadBongo 06:02, 24 June 2008 (CDT)
I can provide some secondary confirmation of this...the info's over on the Hobopolis discussion page, but I found with the use of 19 scarehobos, I cut down the number of hobos needed by 144, which averages to 7.58 per scarehobo. I don't think that it's always the same amount...a 5-10 range works pretty nicely, but needs some confirmation using a single hobo on a level.--Foggy 10:08, 2 July 2008 (CDT)
I can add further confirmation that the number of hobos killed seems to be around 8. I spent 240 adventures getting parts enough to make 40 scarehobos. Setting off the scarehobos opened BB and EE, so 240 regular kills + 40 scarehobos put me over 500. It took exactly 190 more regular kills to open the Heap, so 750 - (240 + 190) = 320 kills from 40 scarehobos. 320/4 = 8. I'll keep futzing to see if this can be repeated exactly. --The Amazing Charlie 04:34, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
The number of hobos killed by a scarehobo has been officially spaded years ago actually - long before The Amazing Charlie's last post - but nobody actually thought to put it on the wiki, so I'm doing it. It's 6-10. --JLE 12:44, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Stat Gains
What's the formula for stat gains when spending adventures helping Richard?--CirclMastr 08:40, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
I got 98, 99, 171 muscle substats making protein shakes. Base muscle was 844. This was across two days and two dungeon instances. The range roughly fits the same calculation as the sign gyms, but obviously more data is needed. --Stannius 14:01, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
Some data points for an AT starting with 17784 moxie and ending with 17788 moxie making grenades: 2663, 2034, 3208, 3001, 2338, 2240, 3414, 3268, 3435, 2499, 2016, 2117, 3038, 2575, 2231, 2184, 1949, 2763, 2008, 2410, 2064, 2358, 3095, 3463, 2779. That looks a lot like sign gym; theoretical sign gym range: 1781-3562, richard range over 25 turns: 1949-3435. Need to test off-stat sometime. --Darkness 19:09, 1 July 2008 (CDT)
- just did one adventure in muscle (base 3634) 773 substats and myst (base 3600) 452 substats.--Darkness 19:12, 1 July 2008 (CDT)
More data making grenades (no stat day). Starting with 17865 moxie: 3242,1923,1790,2418,2978,2966 (moxie gained), 3028, 2901, 2188, 2740, 2599, 2222, 1793, 2669, 2965, 2019, 2360, 1987, 2740, 2405, 1799 (moxie gained), 3372, 3330, 2865, 2556, 2452, 2057, 3496, 2296, 3094, 2659, 2340 --Darkness 20:25, 5 July 2008 (CDT)
- with 18083 moxie: 2576,2991 --Darkness 14:02, 14 July 2008 (CDT)
- with 18126 moxie: 1875 --Darkness 20:49, 16 July 2008 (CDT)
- Moxie day with 18310 moxie: 4547, 3591 --Darkness 19:17, 24 July 2008 (CDT)
Is there any way for Richard to get grenades other than having players make them? Our clan records show only that my AT has helped Rchard make 20 grenades, yet yesterday we had 139 grenades and today we have 228. --Kathrynt 03:32, 11 August 2008 (CDT)
- I think it's a bug. . . every time I use a grenade, the count increments instead of decrementing. --Kathrynt 04:00, 11 August 2008 (CDT)
- Yeah, this seems a little odd, but then again I don't have any understanding of how works (i.e. if it ever changes based on number of clannies, etc.). --Itsatrap 02:50, 19 August 2008 (CDT)
- Seems to be "fixed" now, with the counters decreasing when I use supplies. --Itsatrap 19:13, 22 August 2008 (CDT)

(couple of hundred items of each kind later) seem to getting approx 0.15*unbuffed stat at level 67. with over 4400 unbuffed moxie, getting ~670 substats per grenade (on average). 3000 unbuffed muscle nets me ~450 muscle substats per grenade. --Mars the infomage 03:38, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm spading the kills right now. So far I have made 14 scarehobo's and killed 23 hobos, doing this solo to avoid any problems. James111222

Presumably this guy's a reference to Richard Moll, who played Bull Shannon, the bailiff on the sitcom Night Court.--Davidsan 15:59, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
just thought i would throw this out there AT with 1817 base moxie on a muscle day i used 384 advs to help make protien shakes and got this as a result You gain 102100 Strongness. You gain some Muscle points! I've got screen shots if there needed dont know if this helps at all just contributeing my two cents --Me33333 12:55, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Scarehobos -- Turncost?
Does it cost a turn to make a scarehobo? I think it should be indicated on the page.. --SilentKnight 23:14, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- No. There's no (1) about it. If you want to make a small note about it, go ahead, I guess. --Raijinili 12:24, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
