I've discovered how to get to the second floor. The clue is in the name and that's all I say. --[[User:Whap|Whap]] 14:43, 20 September 2006 (CDT)

:*I can't help but wonder why everyone who claims to have figured this puzzle out is being so secretive on what is intended to be the biggest KoL spoiler site on the net. --[[User:Dmagus|Dmagus]] 15:07, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
::*Because people enjoy making a profit off items not everyone can find, people enjoy knowing about something that no one else does. Not everyone plays KoL just to spoil their findings. This is not a spoiler site. It is a catalogue of the entire game. Furthermore, the fact that you believe that ''you'' someone who rarely if ever edits the wiki ''deserves'' to have information spoiled to him/her is disgusting. The sense of entitlement that KoLers have about this wiki is ridiculous. You expect someone else to do your work for you. Welcome to real life, it doesn't work that way.--[[User:SomeStranger|<font color="orange">SomeStranger</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:SomeStranger|<font color="green">t</font>]]|[[Special:Contributions/SomeStranger|<font color="green">c</font>]])</sup> 15:33, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
:::*It's "disgusting"? Please, have some sense of proportion.--[[User:Nabubrush|Nabubrush]] 15:36, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
:::*Dude.  He wasn't insulting the people being secretive about it, he was just wondering why they were doing so - there's a difference between "OMGF I WANT INFO NAO" and "No one's spoiled it yet?  Odd."  Calm down a bit.--[[User:Hogulus|Hogulus]] 15:42, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
:::*Just a note, although I rarely contribute to the wiki, it's because I rarely come across new information that hasn't already been posted.  And let's not needlessly argue semantics here... if a "catalogue of the entire game" isn't a spoiler site, I don't know what is.  The only thing not revealed on this website is the one thing Jick has specifically asked NEVER to be spoiled.  So, a respectful spoiler site, but a spoiler site nonetheless.  Now if you don't mind, I'll go back to trying to solve this puzzle just like everyone else. --[[User:Dmagus|Dmagus]] 15:54, 20 September 2006 (CDT)

There's a specific book in the bookshelf (picture) you can click on when this adventure pops up, it fixes the stairs and then you can go up to the next floor.  Spoileriffic, but if you're as frustrated about this as I am, this should provide some welcome relief.  This "discovery" provided by the concentrated effort of the folks at GKoL.

:*Yep, this is already on the page in the notes section.--[[User:SomeStranger|<font color="orange">SomeStranger</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:SomeStranger|<font color="green">t</font>]]|[[Special:Contributions/SomeStranger|<font color="green">c</font>]])</sup> 17:18, 20 September 2006 (CDT)

==Chapter 3: Twisted, Curdled, Corrupt Energy and You==
This is part of obtaining the sauceror skill in the zone. --[[User:Veistran|Veistran]] 19:06, 20 September 2006 (CDT)

There's no special message for Pastamancers if you pick up your class skill, and then try to read the book again, as it just defaults to original message. Assume it's the same for Saucerors, but one should check to be sure.

*It reverts to the original message because "You put the dictionary back on the shelf, for the next guy" and thus cannot use it anymore to read the book. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 12:28, 21 September 2006 (CDT)
**Oh, oops, sorry about that! Selective reading on my part, somehow missed that glaring fact. Didn't realise the dictionary was left behind too. Thanks! --[[User:Ellyssa|Ellyssa]] 15:56, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

==Stat gains?==

Are stat gains from books fixed? I asked because I just picked the moxie stat gain adventure (chapter 2 of 'love story') and got +39 stat points three times ina row. I remember getting less before so my tentative guess would be lvl^2 - 10 (I am level 7) which is i guess capped somewhere. If anyone has further data/hypotheses, share them!
--[[User:Trendytotebag|Trendytotebag]] 19:03, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

Note: I just got +38, so perhaps there is a range but a small one. And additionally i was at 41 moxie and 61 buffed moxie.
