Notes
- Sombrero vs Volleyball contains information about when Sombreros and Volleyball-type familiars are best for stat gains based on familiar weights and monster level.
- Since you can't gain a fraction of a stat point, what actually happened was that an entire stat point was awarded a fraction of the time. For example, if you had a 15-pound volleyball and should therefore have received 3.75 stats, you would always have received 3 stats, and would have received a 4th stat 75% of the time. With the arrival of NS13, the formula was briefly floored, so this no longer happened. For more information on the new volleyball formula, see this forum thread, and Jick's post indicating the fix (not flooring the result).
- Attempting to name a Blood-Faced Volleyball "Wilson" will result in it being automatically renamed to "Baden", "Brine", "Mikasa", "Molten", "Spalding", or "Tachikara".
References
- This familiar is a reference to the 2000 movie, Cast Away, in which the character played by Tom Hanks is stranded on an island and obtains a volleyball from one the packages he was delivering. He painted a face on the volleyball and named it Wilson. He even spoke to it. To encourage creativity amongst its players, KoL will not let you name your volleyball Wilson. You can, however, use the name Wilson in conjuction with another name.
- Baden, Brine, Mikasa, Molten, Spalding, and Tachikara are all brands of volleyballs.
