Talk:Rubbed it the Right Way

Limits

• you can wish three times a day using the bottle
• how many pocket wishes can you use?
• how many times can you wish for each thing? (Level 100 meat wishing is currently profitable. Go team acquisitive!) --Evilkolbot (talk) 08:50, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Miscellany

I wished "...to fight François Verte, Art Teacher" and got twisted piece of wire, angry inch, eraser nubbin, lump of clay - even though I'm not currently, nor have I ever been, on the KOLHS Challenge Path. Worth noting? --Tplunkette (talk) 00:37, 2 September 2017 (UTC)TPlunkette

it seems the non-hard-coded effect wishes do a match against the effect descriptions, and then give you a random one from the set of matches. --Evilkolbot (talk) 20:04, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Don't forget, you can wish for a pony, and get one. Kinda random. Needs a message since I can't add it myself.--Tombot (talk) 20:21, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Stat gain formula will require some testing. What is the range formula? Using "big" twice at level 11 produced 276 & 291 total gains; Using "taller" produced 302. How does the formula scale by level? Using "big" at level 18 produced 369 MikeKozar (talk) 14:57, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

I want to do some more testing against the Summon Enemies list and expand it. For instance, I believe that the War Frat Senior Grill Sergeant can be summoned after the Island War, potentially allowing for farming Frat Brats and the Epic Sausage Wonton after completing the Mysterious Island Quest. Forum data suggests some bosses like the Guy Made of Bees are forbidden, and special mobs like Ninja Snowman Assassin also fail. Finally, it looks like it may be possible to summon the Mercenary of Fortune for special Conspiracy Island drops - I want to confirm this and see what other Airport content can be farmed with a Genie.

Useless fact #5534: Wishing for money in Way of the Surprising Fist returns the following: Your vows preventing you from uttering that wish.
(And yes, it's "vows preventing") --Tetravirus (talk) 21:29, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Some miscellaneous wish targets

I tested a bunch of random wish targets, and my findings are below. Note that if I don't explicitly say that something is wishable/not wishable, that means I didn't test it.

Infernal Incursion enemies are not wishable (I attempted all 4 seal types).

Grim Grimacite Site penguins are not wishable (I attempted all 3 penguin types).

The Space Odyssey Discotheque enemies are wishable, though I was unsuccessful in getting any items to drop from them. KoLMafia listed their only drop as discocktail, whose probability was listed as (0 conditional). I only attempted the awkward disco dancer though.

The Spirit Alarm Clock is not wishable.

The Peripatetic Pasta enemies are not wishable (I only tried Frozen Bag of Tortellini and Possessed Can of Linguine-Os)

Grey plague enemies are wishable, though I didn't get any pineal glands to drop, I only killed one though so they probably still drop.

Rene C. Corman is not wishable.

Lord Flameface is not wishable.

The Necbromancer is not wishable.

Underworld Tree is not wishable.

Big Candy, The Fudge Wizard, The Abominable Fudgeman, Trollipop, and The Colollilossus from Crimbo 2011 are not wishable.

High-ranking warbear officer and warbear general longname are not wishable.

100 skeletons is not wishable.

Yuleviathan wishable, but KoLMafia says the chance to drop the necklace is 0%

I may have forgotten one or two of the things I tested, but I definitely tested all of these. A lot of these were pretty obvious "if this doesn't work I'm not surprised, and if it does that's wild" kinda things, so I wasn't really expecting much, but who knows, maybe someone would find this information useful. --AppleSaws (talk) 06:35, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

• I tried 3 awkward disco dancers; 2 dropped nothing but one dropped a discocktail. --Fig bucket (talk) 11:38, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Monster flags

You apparently can't wish for any monster that has the executeonwin flag. "There are a bunch of checks to make sure that it's not some testing monster, then 8 'flag' checks." Source: devleaks re. why fantasy bandit is unwishable --VinnyB (talk) 09:41, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
