The Enormous Greater-Than Sign

The Enormous Greater-Than Sign

Located in The Dungeon Full Of Dungeons in Seaside Town. Only appears when you have 47 (unbuffed) points in the main stat for your class (half-way from level 7 to level 8). Furthermore, you must have 50 (buffed) points in your main stat to actually adventure there.

If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:

As you near the sign, you start to get nervous. The nearer you get, the nervouser you get. Then you get nervous because you're not sure if "nervouser" is a word or not. After thinking about this for a few seconds, you turn around and leave.

(You must have at least 50 <stat> to adventure here.)

Upon discovering The Secret of the Dungeons of Doom, this location is replaced with The Dungeons of Doom. Trying to access to location via the "Last Adventure" link then yields the message:

This area should no longer be accessible to you.
