Safe Adventuring

The Hermit humbly requests that this page be rewritten or expanded. A couple of areas are missing, the organization could use improvement, and we're all wearing... dark things, on our eyes. Hit it. We need to update the lists with the right values

[ Return to Game Mechanics ]

It is a fairly well-supported rumor that for each level an enemy has, it has 1 point in each stat, and that this level is equal to its total stat drop times 5. It is further rumored, and also well-supported, that for each 5 points of Muscle possessed by a monster, your character may avoid all attacks by that monster if s/he possesses 5 more points of Moxie than it does. From this information, it may be determined what the lowest possible Moxie is that may allow one to avoid all hits in a given area. This information has been compiled by Kittiwake, and I thought I'd post it here so as to make it more accessible to the community.

The two tables below both show the required Moxie for safe adventuring. The Sorted by Location shows locations sorted in the standard Wiki location order while the Sorted by Moxie table shows sorts locations ordered by the Moxie required for safe adventuring. Thus, knowing your current Moxie, you can figure out at a glance the areas in which you're reasonably capable of adventuring.
