Meat
Meat is the currency used in the Kingdom of Loathing. It can be used to purchase items from the various markets and shops, or to purchase items from other players. It is also used to create meat pastes, meat stacks, and dense meat stacks. You'll gain meat from combat and regular adventures throughout the kingdom. A wise player keeps his mind on their Meat, and his Meat on his mind. Replace all instances of "his" in the previous sentence with "his or her," if you're the kind of person who's bothered by that sort of thing.
It is not edible (no one in their right mind would eat money) so most food in the kingdom is meat-free. Exceptions do exist, like sausage and fish meats. Why? Why not?
According to Jick, the reason why Meat is the currency of KoL is that, when he was developing the game, he did not have a picture of "gold" uploaded. However, there was a picture of meat he made earlier, so he used it instead. It is suspected that it was to get rid of the illogical "finding money on a monster".
Uses
Notes
- There is a cap on the Meat you can carry equal to (232) - 1, or 4,294,967,295. Any Meat in excess of this placed into your inventory, via any mechanism, is lost with no hope of return. Extremely rich players may wish to convert liquid Meat into meat paste, meat stacks, or dense meat stacks, keeping in mind item creation limits also exist. Another solution would be to invest in valuable items, or put meat in your closet.
- There are other forms of currency besides Meat, but their use is limited. Only one — the Crimbuck — could be directly converted from Meat, and none can be converted directly back into Meat:
- A. W. O. L. commendations (A. W. O. L. Quartermaster, reached by using the commendation)
- fat loot tokens (A Vending Machine)
- FDKOL commendations (FDKOL Tent, reached by using the commendation)
- pieces of filthy lucre (The Bounty Hunter Hunter's Shack)
- Game Grid tickets (Ticket Redemption Counter)
- hobo nickels (Hobopolis)
- Karma (Valhalla)
- lunar isotopes (Elvish Paradise stores)
- Mr. Accessories (Mr. Store)
- Quarters (Frat) and Dimes (Hippies)
- sand dollars (Big Brother's)
- store credit (Ye Wizard's Shack Game Shoppe)
- Swagger (The Swagger Shop)
- worthless gewgaws, worthless knick-knacks, and worthless trinkets (The Hermitage)
- yeti furs (The Trapper's Cabin)
- There are other currencies that can no longer be spent nor obtained:
- CRIMBCO scrip (CRIMBCO Gift Shop)
- handfuls of bone chips (The Altar of Bones)
- Crimbux (The Crimbo Cartel and The Crimbo Casino)
- There are other items — including fat stacks of fat stacks of cash and piles of gold coins — which look like currency, but cannot be used as such in the Kingdom. These can be sold and traded, but cannot currently be used to buy anything.
