Terminology stuff
What are all these HCB SCNP ML NC abbreviations?
- HC = Hardcore
- NP = No Path
- SC = Seal Clubber or Softcore depending on context
- HCO = Hardcore Oxygenarian
- HCB = Hardcore Boozetafarian
- HCT = Hardcore Teetotaler
- SCO = Softcore Oxygenarian (etc.)
- ML = Monster Level
- NC = Non-Combat. Usually meaning an adventure whose likelihood is affected by combat modifiers, as opposed to a superlikely.
Level 12 stuff
But if I'm leveling in the bathroom anyway, why is the Guy Made of Bees bad?
- Every time you say "Guy Made of Bees" you're throwing away one of the Myst noncombats you were going there for in the first place. It's going to take you another 3 turns or so of bathroom leveling to get back the stats you just lost. So you're losing about 15 turns right there -- or more, if you aren't maxing your -combats.
Kittycore stuff
See beating your shadow in kittycore.
What's kittycore?
What class is best for kittycore, and why?
- Disco Bandit. You get cocktails for turn generation, you get passive +items, you get pick pocketing (the cat can't bat away items when you yoink them) with passive +initiative, there are no buffs for the cat to uneffect, and you get combat that doesn't require the use of skills, so the cat can't block you. Funkslinging for the shadow fight doesn't hurt either.
Rabbit Hole stuff
Is it worth getting a pail for the +ML tea party buff?
- In HCO, probably. In HCNP, probably not. Doing the artist quest costs you however many turns the Sleazy Back Alley piece takes (highly RNG swingy), plus the loss of combat stats from two statless turns of delay() burning in the Pantry and Outskirts. At least, we think it burns delay(). This is still unproven.
You don't do the artist quest anyway, for the rat whisker meat?
- No.
Does the tea party take a turn?
- No.
Does using the reflection of a map take a turn?
- Yes.
Can you use the reflection of a map without the Down the Rabbit Hole effect?
- ?
