Slow and Steady
From A KoL Wiki
Slow and Steady is the Summer 2014 special challenge path, introduced on May 15, 2014. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "You get 100 Adventures per day, no less and no more.
NOTE: Limited-time content from prior to 2012 is disallowed on this path."
Restrictions
- You are not permitted to use Mr. Items or limited-time content that became limited on or before 31st December 2011.
- Attempting to use a restricted familiar gives this message:
- That familiar is too old to be used on this path.
- Clicking the clan VIP pool table (or trying to view the leaderboard) gives:
- That clan thing is too old to be used on this path.
- Attempting to use a restricted familiar gives this message:
- You will not gain adventures from food, booze, or spleen items, or other sources, such as potions (chocolate saucepan) or adventures (heading towards the top of the temple in Such Great Heights). Anything which would normally give adventures gives this message instead:
Slow and steady, now. Slow and steady.
- You will not gain extra rollover adventures from any items or equipment that usually grant this.

Divergences
- You get 100 turns each day, instead of 40 turns. This includes the start of the run, and each rollover.
Strategy
Notes
- The Trendy-type restriction (no use of limited-time content older than 2012) applies only while Slow and Steady is the current challenge path. On August 15, 2014 this restriction will no longer exist.
- While you are on the path, your profile includes a link to the new restricted item list.

Rewards
- Finishing a Slow and Steady run that began while it was still the current special challenge path -- that is, between May 15th, 2014, and August 14th, 2014 -- gives players 100 (in Hardcore) or 50 (in Normal) extra karma points the next time they visit Valhalla.
- According to Gemelli, "Completing this path will give you a reward that ... we won't spoil. But it's something new and different that we think will be compelling. Be forewarned that the plan is that it'll only be available while this is the active challenge path."
