The Annoy-o-Tron 5000

The Annoy-o-Tron 5000

As you approach the strange machine, Gnorman hobbles out of his hut and addresses you.

"Hello, Tall One! This is my greatest invegntion -- the Annoy-O-Tron 5000! When the dial is turned, it emits low-frequency waves that permeate the egntire Kingdom, causing all of the mognsters to become enraged!"

The device is currently set to level X.

Set the dial to: Level {0 to 10}. Touch that dial!

Notes

Located in the Gnomish Gnomads' Camp, an area only accessible to players who have ascended with a Moxie zodiac sign, this device has a dial which supposedly controls all the monsters in the Kingdom. The dial goes from 0 to 10.

Setting the dial adds that number to the level of every monster you fight.

Setting the dial to 0 yields the following message:

You switch the dial. All of the monsters in the Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief and settle back into their normal routines.

Setting the dial to a number 1 to 10 yields the following message:

You switch the dial. All of the monsters in the kingdom suddenly wince, as though they were being bombarded with waves of concentrated annoyance.

Attempting (through possibly unscrupulous means) to set the dial to a number that is out of the valid range yields the following message:

Invalid dial setting. You invalid dial setter, you. Hey, we just got a new dog! It's an Invalid Dial Setter!

You can also receive special rewards if you defeat certain bosses with the dial at certain settings, as detailed below. Click through the individual rewards for more details.
