These pages have a bug in-game associated with them. Please do not post highly exploitable bugs (such as infinite Meat or item duplication bugs). Note that it is in your best interests to report such game-breaking bugs rather than exploit them, as team KoL has been known to severely punish dirty exploiters.

Noting a bug on a page

To show that there is a bug, you place the {{bug}} template (see below) at the top of the proper page for the bug (the affected monster, item, etc.) and add a comment that describes the nature of the bug.

The format for using the template is:

{{bug|Put your comment here.}}

Things to note

  • It should only remain on the page as long as the bug is ongoing.
  • A bug should be confirmed (i.e., multiple people are reporting it, or it can be easily replicated by following some set of steps) before being reported.
  • For spelling and grammar problems only, you are directed to an official forum thread.

Ways to report bugs

  • Again, they should only be used if the bug is repeatable, or being observed by many other people.
  • You can use the in-game menu option to report bugs. This is essentially KMailing Jick.
  • Various members of the Development Team have indicated that they are willing to confirm and pass along bugs found by the playerbase.
