I joined KoL WAY back in 2003, but became inactive, got my account deleted, and joined again in 2004. I have three characters. One HC, one SC and one spading multi.

I'm a computer programmer, and I've written a few scripts for KoL Mafia which may prove helpful. All of them can be accessed on my website: http://bumcheekcity.com/kol/

My Characters

bumcheekcity

Hardcore. Currently doing a SA BM run, and hating it. Unsure whether to interlace my BM runs, or just get the damn things over with, remembering that the "full" outfit requires 2 bludgeons. Two for a disembodied hand, that is. Well, one for my main hand, and an EXTRA for the disembodied one.

Currently, I reckon I'll do the 7 runs one after another, then go straight into basement diving. The Brimstone equipment will help, to say the least.

Softcore. Plans for him are:

• Superhuman Cocktailcrafting (DB 15)
• Self-Preservation (+20% Init Passive) (DB 2)
• Wisdom of Elder Tortoises (+50% MP) (TT 11)
• Empathy (+5 Fam Weight Active) (TT 8)
• Skin of the Leatherback (level-2/2 DR) (TT 2)
• Cletus (+20% Init. @ 4MP) (AT 3)
• Ode to Booze (AT 12)

Spading Multi. Currently working on the Haiku Dungeon.

Epic Tips

General

• If you have Armorcraftiness, don't forget to smith a tuxedo shirt if you're ever about to drink something that uses martini.gif.
• If you get beaten up close to the end of your day, don't waste turns, just overdrink, eat, and bank the turns for tomorrow.
• Use Kol Mafia, for God's sake.

Level 4

• Pull a Harem Veil for this quest - you'll almost certainly pull it anyway in Softcore, and it'll save you a few turns farming for the Pine-Fresh Air Freshener.

Level 5

• In Softcore, this quest can be completed in one turn, with three pulls. Nice if you're doing a slow-ish run, or thinking of breaking Ronin.

Level 6

• For the Steel Margarita, you can get the third item, go do some other stuff for at least 10 adventures, and get the pencil-necked demon guaranteed next time you adventure in the copse.

Level 7

• If in normal, don't use the pirate's map until you collected enough insults, because the next adventure will be the beer pong adventure automatically.

Level 8

• dungeoneer's dungarees will help you pass the elemental damage quest, and will save you turns, especially in Softcore, where it'll save you two precious pulls.
• Failing that, an Exotic Parrot at Level 5+ will suffice. Particularly useful if you have one of the +5 skills.
• Failing that, just wait, and get a can of black paint at the Level 11 quest.
• Use Brother Flying Burrito's buff when you're doing the Goatlet.
• When mining for ore, don't forget that they come in groups. If you've struck one type of ore, the squares around it should have a pretty good chance to have the same type. So by using this knowledge, try to start digging from the middle so you can go easily on the other side if you don't find the ore you wanted.

Level 9

• Save the Strange Leaflet for a Stat Day if one is coming up soon.

Level 11

• Use Brother Smothers' buff when you're doing the Spookyraven Cellar.
• Get Gnasir to show up first in the 11 quest, then wear off the bad effects opening the the Hidden City.

Level 12

• The fastest way to flyer the arena is to begin your Level 12 quest immediately and get the flyers ASAP. Then complete what you have left of your Level 11 quest, especially Ed. If you still need more monsters, flyer the Gremlins and Sonofabeach.
• If you STILL need more monsters, flyer the Orchard and Dooks (if you've managed to get the Hippy Outfit), but DON'T complete them. This leaves opportunity to complete them in very few adventures as a frat later.
• Find your +meat demon summoning name when you can, then summon him during the nuns quest. In Bad Moon, use Braaaaaaains (the Bad Moon Adventure in the Misspelled Cementary).
• Use a chaos butterfly while doing the Barn to speed up the quest. See the Defowl the Farm quest for more information.

Level 13

• If you have a Temporal Riftlet, use it when fighting the Tower monsters and Shadow. No other familiar helps up there (combat doesn't matter, +items/stats/meat don't matter, etc.), but the Riftlet may just give you an extra adventure.
• NOTE: This has changed with the introduction of the Bandersnatch. If you have a snatch, case Ode and then, if you turn out not to have a tower item, you can runaway for free.
• To get past the gate, you can check the ! potions by throwing them at monsters to avoid getting the drunk potion. Of course, it's much better to just NOT be 19 drunk at this point.
• A clover South of the Border will get you one of every kind of gum.
• Remember to buy a can of hair spray before hitting the tower. Forgetting that is annoying.
• You get a 6th floor tower item from the shore every 30 adventures. If you plan your trips carefully then you can easily nab all 3 before you open the Island. Else they all zap into each other anyway.
