View source for Talk:Polka-dot bow tie

Someone mind adding which monster you steal it from? --[[User:LegendaryBard|LegendaryBard]] 10:49, 11 January 2007 (CST)
*I was also wondering this. It's obviously one of the clowns, but which one is it (or perhaps both)? --[[User:AtroPhied|AtroPhied]] 17:44, 11 January 2007 (CST)
** Apparently it's a [[scary clown]]. Now added to all the corresponding pages. --[[User:AtroPhied|AtroPhied]] 20:07, 11 January 2007 (CST)
** I just got one from a [[creepy clown]], too. --[[User:gryphon|gryphon]] 18:44, 13 January 2007 (CST)
*** I have just been grinding those clowns in Fun-House. I have done it before a long time without getting the Polka-dot bowtie, but not sure how long. This time I have met at least 20 clowns of the kind you say I can pickpocket the bowtie from, but haven't got it.. What's the Pickpocket-rate if this thing?? --[[User:Ferdawoon|Ferdawoon]] 13:45, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

Could the "smells like popcorn" also refer to Killer Klowns from Outer Space? In that movie, the popcorn was a bunch of evil clown eggs.--[[User:Avigor|Avigor]] 19:13, 14 January 2007 (CST)

This item seems to have been removed from the game as of NS-13, can anyone confirm?  I had one in my inventory and it has since disappeared.--[[User:Amilianna|Amilianna]] 14:23, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
*No, you kind of need it for the clown outfit, which is needed for the guild quest. It's probably just a glitch, I noticed the clown outfit doesn't show up on the dropdown bar if you have all the parts, for one. [[User:Evan|Evan]] 14:27, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
*I can confirm that I still had one after NS13 was implemented. --[[User:Baltar|Baltar]] 14:34, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
*I also had mine, but I also have a question about it; does it being part of a guild quest mean that non-moxie classes in hardcore won't be able to do this quest until after freeing the king? --[[User:Sparksol|Sparksol]] 18:26, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
*No. As is being discussed in various places around the wiki, the quest can be completed with any variety of clownish gear.  --[[User:Southwest|Southwest]] 18:28, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
*I can confirm that you can still get this using pickpocket after NS13, but it takes a lot of adventures.  Got it after about 40 clown encounters.  I can also confirm that it is not needed to complete the epic weapon quest.  The rest of the outfit without it works just fine.  --[[User:CybrWulf|CybrWulf]] 13:13, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

So if you can only get it by pick pocketing a clown, then how can you get it if you aren't a moxie class? I've searched the Malls and market place, but all I can find is people charging 30K meat for it. The only other way I could think to get it would require a violation of the Policies of Loathing.
Basically the administrators created a catch-22 with this item. --[[User:Ehko-sense|Ehko-sense]]

:Unless your a moxie class, or have access to the mall/flea market, you cannot get this item. Fortunately, it is not required to fight [[The Clownlord Beelzebozo]]. See the page on him for an excellent synopsis of the required clownosity to face him. --<span style="color:blue">[[User:Munkel|'''Mun''']]</span><span style="color:black">[[Special:Contributions/Munkel|'''kel''']]</span> <small><span style="color:purple">(talk)</span></small> 21:29, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

On October 4, apparently shortly before rollover, this item was renamed to "polka-dot bow tie" (plural: polka-dot bow ties) - note corrected spelling of "bow tie".  I'm not sure how to move a page, and keep all the categories and links properly pointing to it - I think I'll leave that to the experts. --[[User:Jasonharper|Jasonharper]] 13:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

==Clownosity==
The wiki claims this gives +2 clownosity, but the description says 75% which is equivalent to 3 clownosity. this is the only clownosity item where the wiki disagrees with the in game % given.
So, is this an error in the wiki, or a bug in the game?--[[User:Taltamir|Taltamir]] ([[User talk:Taltamir|talk]]) 05:01, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

well, I just confirmed that the in game description is correct. the wiki is wrong. this item gives 3 clownosity. By equipping it alongside bloody pants (1 clownosity) I was able to fight the boss --[[User:Taltamir|Taltamir]] ([[User talk:Taltamir|talk]]) 05:03, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
