Talk:Take a Look, it's in a Book! (Rise)

From A KoL Wiki

The title of the second book, and the recipes it contains changes (randomly?). I once got the cook book and then got "To Serve Man...Delicious Cocktails" --Kotkot 08:43, 2 October 2006 (CDT)

Anyone figured out if the stat gains scale with level? As a level 5 I just got 17 myst. --J12601 18:22, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

  • Sub-stat gains at level 5 (PM) opting for the myst adventure: 17, 18, 24, 23, 20, 24. --J12601 18:59, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
  • Sub-stat gains at level 6 (TT) opting for the moxie adventure: 36, 33, 32, 34, 40. --MoreCurious 08:47, 17 February 2007 (CST)

Random recipe range

As an un-craft-skilled Seal Clubber, I'm getting only recipes (cooking and blending) that require no skills. Is it always this way, or do you ever get "skilled" recipes if you have the skills? --Jonrock 19:38, 4 November 2006 (CST)

Recipes received: pr0n cocktail, bat wing kabob, mushroom pizza, secret blend of herbs and spices, goat cheese taco, carob chunk cookies, knob shroomkabob, rat scrapple, tofu taco, Knob sausage stir-fry, royal jelly taco --TechSmurf 01:44, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

References

Is the "350 meat a day" thing a reference to rachel ray's 40 dollars a day tv show?--Argus 18:24, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

Browser issue, need url for third book click

Could someone glean the url from clicking the third book? (We have urls for items, why not for the click?)

The reason I ask is ----

I've reported this "bug", but it is more of a bug with my browser/operating system (a mobile device without a touch screen).

I can't click the third book, even after reading the macguffin diary (tested that just in case it was required to "unlock".

The way it works for me is, select the image, and click once. This gives me cross-hairs. Then I move the cross-hairs to the third book, and click. Nothing happens.

Oddly, the image maps for Hobopolis and the secret island work just fine (moving to the right section and clicking has the appropriate results).

This issue may be a problem on other non-touch or non-mouse systems.

Anyway, it'd be extremely useful if the actual url could be gleaned in some way. Then, once I have the adventure "on screen", I could enter the url manually and see what happens.--Hastifer 18:14, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Are you familiar with the requirements of remote form manipulations? The book is implemented as a hidden choice value for the Take a Look page. There are two versions, numbered 80 (Rise) and 81 (Fall). The bookcase is option 99 when I test it now (but I've got the staircase already):

GET /choice.php?whichchoice=81&pwd=$HASH&option=99

The $HASH value is a hash of your password unique to every login. It gets used all over the place. If you're comfortable already with form manipulation, it should be easy to find. If you are not you might need some help. You can find in in the page source html in lots of pages, I typically grab it from the skills page. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 18:30, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Pretty sure that'll do. I'll let you know, thanks! --Hastifer 19:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Ok, 99 didn't work. Going to start at 5 and work my way up, extra-slow brute force. yay.--Hastifer 20:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)


I think I'm doing it wrong. Even the normal options don't work when using options 1-4 (and the respective #)

Is this the right format (remove spaces): http: // www5.kingdomofloathing.com / choice.php?whichchoice=81&pwd=$HASH&option=99

(99 being any valid option number) --Hastifer 21:13, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

  • Formatting is correct, but you realize that you can only do it when you've adventured and gotten the choice? And you need to match the whichchoice= value to the choice at hand? Otherwise it would be easy to get things from choice adventures with no risk (eg, the outfit in the Harem). --Club (#66669) (Talk) 22:38, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
    • By the way, new ascension, new staircase needed. So I checked and it is indeed choice=99 to replace the stairs. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 20:12, 4 March 2010 (UTC)


      • Oh yeah, definitely. I was in the adventure with the choice available when I put the url in. Must just be my browser. I finally lost patience and went to an internet kiosk. Highway roberry, that. Thanks for your help, though.--Hastifer 14:00, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
