View source for Aftercore

Aftercore refers to the time between breaking King Ralph's prism and entering the Astral Gash. In the past few years, content has been added specifically aimed for players who choose to level up after breaking the prism. This guide describes those areas and how they affect ascension in general. For strategy in preparing for and adventuring in those areas, link to those specific areas.

==Preparing for Aftercore==
A lot of preparation will depend on which zone you will be adventuring in. Some things will be more helpful in a run with a long Aftercore:
*Doing the [[Pagoda Quest]]. Gives +3 adventures a day.
*Installing a [[clockwork maid]]. Gives +8 adventures a day. The 4 extra adventures this provides over [[meat maid]] pays for itself if you intend playing a long Aftercore.
*Buying some cheap equipment that grants [[Extra Rollover Adventures]] if you don't have them already. Currently, cost-effective ones include [[General Sage's Lonely Diamonds Club Jacket]], [[sword behind inappropriate prepositions]], [[Hairpiece On Fire]], [[meteorthopedic shoes]], [[wristwatch of the white knight]], and [[tiny plastic bitchin' meatcar]].
*Installing better [[Resting#Housing|housing]]. Largely useful for maximizing MP restoration, but not required otherwise. Gains much more mileage with Free Rests such as [[Disco Power Nap]] and [[Dog Tired]]. Cheapest housings are [[House of Twigs and Spit (Campground)|House of Twigs and Spit]] and [[Ginormous Pumpkin]].
*The [[Mysterious Island Quest]] [[Mysterious Island Quest#Sidequests|sidequests]] offer different [[Mysterious Island Quest#Rewards|rewards]] depending on whether you complete them as a Hippy or a Frat Boy. Some of the daily rewards are available in aftercore, so look that over when choosing a side.
**Finishing the Nuns as a Frat offers a 1,000 MP restorer 3 times a day, which is arguably the best of the sidequest rewards.
*Have some good skills permed. High-end combat skills are useful against many Aftercore monsters, as are some non-combat skills, especially the buffing kind.
*Drinking a [[Sloppy Jalopy]] will allow you to gain one extra point of drunkenness until you ascend.
*Doing the [[Nemesis Quest]] will net you some minor class-based bonuses.
*Don't forget to improve your inebriety limit [[Azazel, Ma Belle |by returning Azazel's lost items]]!

==Once only==
Some quests or items that can be retrieved in aftercore can only be done once per ascension, or [[Ascension#Really.2C_Really_One-Time|only once per account]]. Notably:
*[[The Cocktail Shaker]] can only be done once per account, and provides a free booze per day. All you need to do is to gather sufficient [[Kokomo Resort Chip]] by adventuring in the [[Kokomo Resort]], unlocked by the [[Kokomo Resort Pass]], which is cheap in the mall, then bring them all to a [[Brick_Mulligan,_the_Bartender|Bartender]]
*[[The Thing with No Name]] can only be killed once per ascension, and drops very good booze and food depending on when you kill him.
*[[Ittah bittah hookah]] can only be acquired with 6 other items, each only obtainable by one of the 6 different classes or gifted by another player. These items cannot be bought on the mall. To get these 6 items you'll need to get a [[Reflection of a map]] by adventuring in [[The Rabbit Hole]] after drinking a [["DRINK ME" potion]]

==[[Fernswarthy's Basement]]==
'''What is it?''': Fernswarthy's Basement can be found in [[The Ruins of Fernswarthy's Tower]] after encountering the adventure [[Into the Maw of Deepness]]. Each adventure takes you one level lower in the basement. On each level you may: encounter a test of your stats, HP, MP, or elemental resistance; battle a monster of increasing difficulty; or receive a stat bonus or special reward.

'''Ascension-Relevance''': At level 500, players receive the [[Discount Telescope Warehouse gift certificate]]. Using this installs or upgrades a telescope in your campground which remains after ascension. This telescope can, once per day, grant the [[Starry-Eyed]] effect. More importantly, using the telescope can also reveal what tests you will face in [[The Naughty Sorceress' Tower]], which may inform your decisions about resource acquisition. (For example, if you know you will face a Stench Damage test, you might try a little harder to acquire items that grant Stench Damage, or save a clover or a wish to get some.) A total of 7 runs to level 500 are needed to upgrade the telescope fully.

'''Recommended Level''': Level 23 and up (28 if you're going for the Level 30 trophy). Early levels are easy to pass even for low-level characters, but challenges become exponentially difficult even before level 100.

'''See Also''': [[Basement Diving Guide]]

==[[The Bounty Hunter Hunter's Shack|Bounty Hunting]]==
'''What is it?''': You can do up to 3 different "Quests" a day in which each yield a [[filthy lucre]]. There is an easy, hard, and special quest. The special quest are done in zones that are accessed through IoTMs. 

'''Ascension-Relevance''': [[Transcendent Olfaction]] is the most powerful turn-cutting skill in the game, but it can take up 67 days to acquire the 200 [[filthy lucre|lucre]] needed to purchase it (need not be farmed in a single ascension). The outfit gives up to +75% [[Items from Monsters|Item Drop]], which is always handy. The hound dog acts as a [[Baby Gravy Fairy|fairy]] at 1.25*weight and is the only familiar that increases combat frequency.

'''Recommended Level''': The Easy and Hard bounties are all from locations you normally adventure in during ascension, so going to these areas is advised is you have a quest there or if you need to farm/level up. With the exception of the [[Lab monkey]]s, none of the specialty bounties will be hard for a level-13 adventurer.

'''Unlockables''':

:*1 Skill: [[Transcendent Olfaction]] <sup>(Adventure Queue Manipulation)</sup>.

==[[El Vibrato Island]]==
'''What is it?''': A portal in your campground accessible by using an [[El Vibrato power sphere]]. The portal contains constructs which drop punchcards that can be used on the constructs to create items.

'''Ascension-Relevance''': Little. The [[El Vibrato Relics|outfit]] available in this zone has powerful enchantments when used with punchcards (although better options exist now), and several of the usable drones have powerful buffs available to high-level characters, but little in this zone can be used in a standard run.

'''Recommended Level''': Level 17 and above. With a minimum ML of 300, monsters in this zone can be difficult without good equipment or buffs.

==[[The Sea]] and [[The Sea Floor]]==
'''What is it?''': A series of zones located [[underwater adventuring|underwater]] boasting some of the most powerful equipment and consumable drops. However, adventuring here requires [[Underwater#Air supply|breathing apparatuses]] for both adventurer and familiar. In addition, adventuring here incurs a number of [[Underwater#Adventure cost|penalties]].  You can adventure there, once you talk to [[An Old Man]] and buy [[Old SCUBA tank]].

'''Ascension-Relevance''': Little is useful for a hardcore ascension. However, powerful items dropped here might be worth a pull in a normal ascension. Sponge equipment are some of the strongest common HP/MP restorers in the game. [[Sea salt scrubs]] give a huge boost to Max HP and MP. A [[Nurse's hat]] will give a large boost to HP, as well as a good amount of HP/MP restoration per adventure.  [[Deep Saucery]] potions offer powerful benefits. The [[Clothing of Loathing]] outfit, as well as [[Hateful Habiliment]] and [[Violent Vestments]], takes several ascensions to obtain, but have incredibly powerful effects rivaling clan dungeon boss drops. If you have a [[Space Jellyfish]] and are able to buff it to ''over 400 pounds'' then you can get [[Recovered cufflinks | recovered cufflinks]], which is nice for softcore but is mostly for showing off.

'''Recommended Level''': Level 14 and above. While it used to require a higher level for most characters, cheap potions like [[Ferrigno's Elixir of Power]], [[Hawking's Elixir of Brilliance]], [[Connery's Elixir of Audacity]] and [[potion of temporary gr8ness]] available en-masse in the Mall for cheap allows a player to easily adventure in the Sea early on, as long as they have a stockpile of some meat to spend. However, for first timers, they may need to spend a lot of adventures to get the required items to drop, or a sum of meat to purchase these items from the mall.

==[[Me and My Nemesis|Nemesis Quest]]==
'''What is it?''': Completing this quest rewards you the [[Legendary Regalia]] outfit of your respective class, a [[Nemesis Familiars|Familiar Hatchling]] for your class, and a number of trinkets. Also eight trophies are only obtainable with regards to the quest.

'''Ascension-Relevance''': Little. The [[Ultimate Legendary Epic Weapon]] is a Quest item, meaning the outfit cannot be used during a regular game and must be reacquired. However, the other pieces of the outfit remain and can be pulled. The class familiars will also remain, though they offer little more than the basic familiars. Defeating your nemesis does earn an Instant Karma, which can be discarded for 11 Valhallan Karma.

'''Recommended Level''': Level 13 and above, after defeating the [[Naughty Sorceress]]. The quest is balanced to be completable in-run, but the later parts (especially defeating the Nemesis) may require more time and resources than you can spare before freeing the King.

==[[Summoning Chamber|Demon Names]]==
'''What is it?''': 11 demon names (as of this writing) can be used to summon demons at the [[Summoning Chamber]] to grant various effects. Seven names are unique to each player, four of which are unlocked by adventuring in certain locations with [[Lord Spookyraven's ear trumpet]].

'''Ascension-Relevance''': Demon names do not change after ascension. Demons can even be summoned in Hardcore and Bad Moon, making this one of few things that can be prepared for such runs. Specifically, the demon name for [[Preternatural Greed]] can help with completing the Nun's quest during the Level 12 quest, and Ak'gyxoth can be useful if you need better drinks.

'''Recommended Level''': Level 13 and above, after defeating the [[Naughty Sorceress]]. Adventures revealing demon names are not guaranteed to show up during a particular run, nor are they very frequent.

==[[Trophy|Trophies]]==
'''What is it?''': KoL has many trophies that you can purchase once you have completed their requirements, for just 10k meat. You can then display these trophies on your profile. Just remember to buy them before you ascend!

'''Ascension-Relevance''': Completely none.

'''Recommended Level''': Any level, varying depending on the trophy. A high number of skills permed usually helps.

==[[Psychoanalytic_jar|Psychoanalytic Jars]]==
'''What is it?''': The Jars are a number of content unlockers, available in the mall, that creates new areas that are only accessible until rollover right at your campsite. These new zones are like a mini-quest in themselves, and you can end up with an untradeable weapon if you manage to fully finish it.

'''Ascension-Relevance''': Almost none. The weapons are nice, but their stat requirement makes them practically useless as a pull.

'''Recommended Level''': Level 13 and above, after defeating the [[Naughty Sorceress]]. If you're inexperienced and want to play-through the entire jar without a guide, consider saving up 200 adventures on rollover, especially for [[Jar_of_psychoses_(Jick)|one]] which will take 374 adventures.

=[[Clan Basement|Clan Dungeons]]=
==[[The Slime Tube]]==
'''What is it?''': You fight various slimes in order to clear the way to [[Mother Slime]]. Speed in the Slime Tube is based on +ML.

'''Ascension-Relevance''': The [[Slimeling]] is a powerful fairy-type familiar that may be earned if the Slime Tube is cleared quickly. Three of the [[Mother Slime]] rewards grant passive skills. These can be made permanent to provide passive boosts to HP, MP, and Combat Initiative. The rewards besides these are of interest to players concerned about their [[Collector's Score]].

'''Recommended Level''': Level 13 and up. Slimes start off at level 100, comparable to monsters above the Beanstalk. A Sombrero-type familiar and massive +ML can help raise stats quickly.

'''Unlockables''':
:*1 Outfit: [[Slimesuit]]<sup>(+12 Elemental Resistance)</sup>

:*1 Familiar: [[File:Slimeling.gif|link=Slimeling]]
:*3 Skills [[Slimy Sinews]]<sup>(+Max HP)</sup>,  [[Slimy Synapses]]<sup>(+Max MP)</sup>, [[Slimy Shoulders]]<sup> (+Initiative)</sup>

==[[Hobopolis]]==
'''What is it?''': You must first navigate through [[A Maze of Sewer Tunnels]] to access Hobopolis itself. Hobopolis is a sprawling city complex that offers a many rewards and points of interest. There are five mini-bosses that can be defeated to weaken [[Hodgman, The Hoboverlord]].

'''Ascension-Relevance''': The [[Hobo Monkey]] is an upgraded leprechaun-type familiar that can be purchased in Hobopolis. Four of the skills are passives which increase HP, MP, Item drops and Meat drops. Some others are songs which are powerful, but can only be used by Accordion Thieves. Most of the other items and skills available in this area are of limited use in an ascension run. Players concerned about their [[Collector's Score]] will be greatly interested in this area: there are 6 separate outfits, other untradeable equipment, the Hobo Monkey familiar, and an expensive tattoo available.

'''Recommended Level''': Level 17 and above. Monsters in the Maze of Sewer Tunnels are 250 ML and above. Muscle classes and Moxie classes will reach 250 in their main stat just below level 17. Hobos themselves will be much tougher, and require an even higher level.

====[[Hobo code binder|Hobo Codes]]====
'''What is it?''': Twenty hobo codes can be added to a player's [[hobo code binder]] to speed up gameplay in Hobopolis. All of the codes are obtained by adventuring in their respective location with hobo code binder equipped.

'''Ascension-Relevance''': Hobo codes are only useful for [[Hobopolis]]. However, hobo codes can be collected at any time because the hobo code binder is a free pull. In fact, it is ''necessary'' to collect some of the codes during an ascension because some hobo code locations become unavailable during the course of a game.

'''Recommended Level''': Anytime when one would normally adventure in those locations.

==[[Dreadsylvania]]==
'''What is it?''': Contains 3 zones with high-level monsters of random element that become especially dangerous above 1 kiss. The end bosses are (mostly) based on which monster type has been killed more.

'''Ascension-Relevance''': A few of the skills are quite useful in an ascension: [[Grab a Cold One]] gives epic quality filler booze, [[Song of Sauce (skill)|Song of Sauce]] gives a huge spell damage bonus and enough Hot Damage to pass the Lair test, [[Song of the North (skill)|Song of the North]] gives half the Cold Damage needed for the Lair test, and [[Song of Slowness (skill)|Song of Slowness]] gives Initiative which helps with the 8-bit realm and the Lair test.  Apart from these skills, ascension relevance is minimal. Every equipment dropped here has a stat requirement of 200 to 250. The most you can get out of Dreadsylvania outside of Aftercore are [[bottle of Bloodweiser|Bloodweisers]] and [[Electric Kool-Aid]]s for pulling, plus some skills you can get at [[The Machine]].

'''Recommended Level''': Level 20 and above.

===Spring Break===
'''What is it?''': Can be unlocked permanently with an [[Airplane charter: Spring Break Beach|Item of the Month]] or one day with a [[one-day ticket to Spring Break Beach|tradeble item]]

'''Ascension-Relevance''': With the [[Little Geneticist DNA-Splicing Lab]] it is possible to get the [[Human-Weird Thing Hybrid|+Exp Intrinsic]] effect. Additionally, the [[Extremely wet T-shirt]] and being [[Grease Up | Greased Up]] is helpful for clearing out Zeppelin protestors, and the [[Brogre bucket hat]]'s +Combat Frequency is helpful for finding [[Lobsterfrogman | Lobsterfrogmen]] and [[The Laugh Floor | demonic comedians]].

'''Recommended Level''': About 17 should be good. If this is your first time, try to enter the new day with 200 adventures to spare, with at least EPIC quality food and booze. You'll want to complete 12 quests in total, the starting 9 + an additional 3 from [[Ultimate_Mind_Destroyer|wiping one's mind]]. This can take up a lot of adventures. One of the zones is underwater, so ensure you have a way of breathing underwater, and preferably a way of obtaining [[Fishy]]. If you have [[Transcendent Olfaction]], you'll likely be able to spend significantly less adventures.

===Conspiracy Island===
'''What is it?''': Can be unlocked permanently with an [[Airplane charter: Spring Break Beach|Item of the Month]] or one day with a [[one-day ticket to Spring Break Beach|tradable item]]

'''Ascension-Relevance''': [[The Deep Dark Jungle]] is great for powerleveling both in-run and in aftercore. [[Jungle Juice]] doubles stat gains in that area. [[The Secret Government Laboratory]] helps with powerleveling as well as farming [[Ka coin]]. Due to monsters in [[The Mansion of Dr. Weirdeaux]] gaining ML after being defeated, it is a great place to powerlevel at really high levels. Perming [[Hypersane]] and pulling a [[Heavy-duty clipboard]] will help with A-boo clues in non-Standard runs. The [[Giant yellow hat]] is one of the few items that increase familiar experience per combat, the [[Jangly bracelet]] helps with Tavern rats and having a [[Mercenary pistol]]/[[Mercenary rifle |rifle]] can help with tough bosses in Softcore runs.

'''Recommended Level''': If you are visiting [[The Mansion of Dr. Weirdeaux]], you'll want to be highly-levelled and buffed, as well as being open to various [[Combat Style]]s due to special monsters there. To enter [[The Secret Government Laboratory | Secret Government Laboratory]] you'll need to wear [[Personal Ventilation Unit | an item]] that limits your base stats to 100, necessitating a +80% buff to your mainstat as well as being at least level 10. Adventurers of any level can enter the [[The Deep Dark Jungle]] as it consists of monsters that scale to your stats. All the rare drops from the monsters in [[The Deep Dark Jungle ]] are great, [[Sasq™ watch | but]] [[Camouflage T-shirt | they're]] [[Smoker's cloak | so]] [[Pair of plants | rare]] you'll probably have to buy them from the mall.

===Dinseylandfill===
'''What is it?''': Can be unlocked permanently with an [[Airplane charter: Dinseylandfill|Item of the Month]] or one day with a [[one-day ticket to Dinseylandfill|tradable item]]

'''Ascension-Relevance''': There's a [[Rotten_Memories_(skill)|skill]], some [[Dinsey's_Exoskeleton|decent pre-war equipment]] and [[The_Dinsey_Company_Store|purchasable food and booze]]. The zone is also full of good equipment. The [[Stinky fannypack]] gives a +40% item drop bonus in all Elemental Airport Areas (not just Dinseylandfilll), the [[Garbage sticker]] is great for backfarming Muscle characters, and the [[Hazmat helmet]] is helpful when adventuring in tough areas against elementally-aligned monsters. The [[Filthy child leash | filthy child leash]] is a strict upgrade to most familiar equipment. The [[Expensive camera | expensive camera]] and the [[Dirty rigging rope | dirty rigging rope ]] together will let you catch your doppelgänger and the [[Perfume-soaked bandana | perfume-soaked bandana]] will aloow you to inspect dead bodies by itself. [[Fire Sewage Pistol | Firing]] a [[Sewage-clogged pistol | sewage-clogged pistol]]. The [[Ratskin pajama pants | Ratskin pajama pants]] is tied with the [[Pantaloons of Hatred]] with having the most +[[Extra Rollover Adventures | Rollover adventures]] of any pair of pants. The [[Fake washboard | fake washboard]] is a great shield with "+25% to all Muscle Gains" and the unusual enchantment "+75% Accessory Drops from Monsters", and the [[Backwoods banjo | backwoods banjo]] is a great ranged weapon with "+20% to all Moxie Gains" and gives an unusually high +200 bonus to Max HP and MP. Perming [[Olfactory Burnout]] will allow you to open an extra [[The Haunted Kitchen | drawer]], even in Hardcore.

'''Recommended Level''': 13 is fine. The biggest monsters are at 150ML, with the remaining either scaling to your stats or buffed greatly by ML. You may want to prepare some high meat drop equipment to take advantage of [[Barf Mountain]]. Additionally, if you'll want to fight [[Wart Dinsey]], you'll have to spend 400 adventures first in the zones - be prepared.

===That 70s Volcano===
'''What is it?''': Can be unlocked permanently with an [[Airplane charter: That 70s Volcano|Item of the Month]] or one day with a [[one-day ticket to That 70s Volcano|tradable item]]

'''Ascension-Relevance''': Again there's a [[Pyromania (skill) | skill]], some [[SMOOCH Army Uniform|decent pre-war equipment]] and [[Disco GiftCo|purchasable food and booze]]. Again, there's some pretty good equipment here too. There's equipment that helps you farm [[Feathered headdress | goats]], [[Biker's hat | pirates]], and [[Basaltamander buckler | pre-War hippies]]/[[Lava balaclava | frat orcs]].
Muscle classes will love  [[Electrician's hardhat | electrician's hardhat]] whenever they can wear it. [[Grease cannon]] destroys ghosts easily, the [[Lavalarva]] is a very powerful whip with no stat requirement, and [[Mr. Cheeng's spectacles]] can replace [[Baron von Ratsworth's monocle]] in the latter half of an ascension. You can also make the [[Red LavaCo Lamp™ | three]] [[Blue LavaCo Lamp™| LavaCo]] [[Green LavaCo Lamp™ | Lamp™'s]] here, which are off-hand items that grant 5 adventures and 50 turns of +50% to all [particular stat] gains at rollover. Perming [[Asbestos Heart]] will allow you to open an extra [[The Haunted Kitchen | drawer]], even in Hardcore.

'''Recommended Level''': Level 9 will suffice for all areas except the [[The Bubblin' Caldera]], which it is best to approach level 11 or above, and the [[The SMOOCH Army HQ]], which has scaling monsters. Note that the bosses in this area are much tougher than the regular enemies, so either buff yourself or wait until level 15 before facing them.

===The Glaciest===
'''What is it?''': Can be unlocked permanently with an [[Airplane charter: The Glaciest|Item of the Month]] or one day with a [[one-day ticket to The Glaciest|tradable item]]

'''Ascension-Relevance''': With the [[Little Geneticist DNA-Splicing Lab]] it is possible to get the [[Human-Fish Hybrid|+Familiar Weight]] effect. The equipment bought from [[Wal-Mart]] give +40% bonus to a particular stat as well as  +4 additional [stat] points per fight, which is nice for equipment that needs only 50 [stat] to equip. The [[Octolus-skin cloak]] is a nice back item to equip at rollover, and the [[Norwhal helmet | norwal helmet]] and the [[Sardine can key | sardine can key]] are nice for farming, but they're rare conditional drops so consider just buying them from the mall. Perming both [[Refusal to Freeze]] and [[Northern Exposure]] means you'll never have to worry about cold mountains ever again. The [["Kyliga Bollar," The Glaciest Guide#VYKEA Companions | VKKEA Companions]] have bonuses, but as they require several components and only last a day, they are best used making the most out of a one-day pass in Aftercore rather than in an ascension. 

'''Recommended Level''': [[The Ice Hotel]] is suitable for level 11s and above while you should be at least level 16 for the underwater [[The Ice Hole | Ice Hole]].

===FantasyRealm===
'''What is it?''': Can be unlocked permanently with a [[FantasyRealm membership packet]] or one day with a [[FantasyRealm guest pass]].

'''Ascension-Relevance''': Varies. The FantasyRealm hats that can be chosen upon entering the realm can grant 15 of a stat with no requirements, making them a pull for those who are struggling to defeat tough or high-ML monsters. Other equipment requires more dedication and will take more than 21 days to finish depending on your strategy and playstyle, but are stronger and can help those with a greater base stat, especially players who are adventuring in the Sea or the Clan Dungeons.

'''Recommended Level''': Level 13. Monsters in FantasyRealm have a set ML, with higher ML for bosses and a harder requirement to achieve to unlock the bosses. Multiple types of playstyles are recommended such as strong skills, melee attacks, high initiative, passive damage, group damage, and more to defeat the individual monsters.
