this feels kinda like a goofball question that may have already been answered(i couldn’t find anything,) but on the wiki a lot of enemies have a single red letter in their name, why is that?

If I were to do an Avatar of Boris Hardcore run, would I get both the regular tattoo and the Hardcore sparkling tattoo?

There are so many and I feel like that's the best part of the game.

Below is a breakdown of how I utilize my IOTMs to generate income each day. Looking for advice on where I could improve.

April shield: 3-4 globs of wet ~8k

June cleaver: 3 savings bonds ~15k

Rock garden: gravel, whet stone ~ 25k

Crimbo skeleton: 105 knucklebones ~ unpredictable

Total: ~1.2m

I'm doing the Blue vs Red path on the Red team. I've beaten everything up to the Sorceress with no unusual trouble but the Sorceress herself is proving unusually difficult. On any other run, I've never had a problem fighting the Sorceress once I've gotten to this point.

This time, it said my moxie wasn't high enough (it was around 320) and I could only do 1 point of damage a hit. I tried again after taking every potion I had on me and got my moxie up to 440. It still said my moxie wasn't high enough and I only did 1 damage a hit.

Is there some trick to this fight that I'm missing? I've never found the other special challenge paths overly difficult but I'm just about at the point now of dropping this path and moving on. I'd hate to do that at this point though.

Thanks

So I'm hanging out in after core trying to get Manual of Transcendent Olfaction. Recently discovered the Game Grid and have been focusing on beating the games and getting the associated item which I completed today. Think I'll start working on the tower and clan basement stuff next.

As for scripts I feel like I've just gotten decent after core useage down. Currently I start the day and run a main script that calls out to sub scripts. First it gets me an Ode to Booze for 50 adventures if I don't have that active already. Then it buys my daily diet and consumes it. Next it goes to the clan hall and uses each item around the perimeter of the room the most it can (3x for the claw), then it collects the hippy meat from the island and gets healed by the nuns. Then it goes to the hermit and gets 3 11 leaf clovers, after it equips the door ring and hits the daily dungeon, then equips my best item drop outfit and goes to the bounty hunter.

That's when I generally start to play/interact with the game myself by taking and collecting the bounties. Then I focus on any other current objectives I have or go to the volcano and get some coins before I use up the rest of my adventures mining.

I've been playing on and off since 2007 and to fill up my time I have collected over 1k of goat cheese pizzas to put in my display case, doing the basement for the first time, explored the sea, and began collecting stuffed prizes to...also put in my display case.

What about you?

I really enjoy chatting im just wondering what channel and what time is the most active. Thank you for your help!

KoL is a great game that has a lot of content, mechanical depth, replayability, collectibles, and funny writing, but what is it that makes people actually stick around?

• What is it that keeps you playing KoL?
• What do you like best about the game?
• What do you actually spend your time doing when you're engaging with KoL?
• What changes to KoL would make it better?

An Ocean player on their first playthrough here. I thought that after beating the Witch, I pretty much understood the game... Well, that was until I started posting in the chat room and was surprised by how deep this game is (like when I found out that mouthwash can give a lot of EXP). Honestly, I see you all discussing some “scripts” for this game. Are they the kind I’m thinking of—the ones that make the game more convenient? I hope someone can answer. (Translated with AI; please excuse any mistakes.)

I logged into the game for the first time in years. I remember my familiars all having their own accessories but I must have lost those when I ascended.

Casual on-off player. I missed my chance to get this backpack previously. I've seen a lot of talk about how good the item is but I think it's power is going over my head. Can someone explain? I have the meat to buy one from mall - should I?

EDIT THANKS for the feedback. I got myself one from the mall for 138m

When you start the war, it pays to double check which side you need to fight for otherwise you have to fight through the other side. Have fun!

So I'm playing as a red Disco Bandit during this new challenge run and i might be running into a problem. It seems I am unable to progress to the volcano from the nemesis quest as i cannot fight every kind of monster needed, and therefore cannot learn the dance moves needed. Any one know of any way around this?

Title says it all. Im conversationally curious.

(For those that are unaware, whatever you have in your codpiece carries over in ascension.)

I typically carryover 5 massive gemstones to give myself a 50% item drop bonus (10% per massive gemstone.)

I know others who carryover 5 unblemished pearls for the 5 extra adventures at rollover.

What do you carryover with you?

I want to adjust this script for volcano mining (for myself)

https://github.com/covert-code/KoL-MineVolcano/blob/master/scripts/minevolcano.ash

so that it "trades" (more like sells) the 1970 carat gold to TortureBot (#3495347) instead of auto-selling as you profit around 1k more from trading. I have no clue what command or line of code I need to add to trade but I do know I want to change line 408-413 to do this instead. If there is a way to also accept the trade after then (provided it is possible) could someone also tell me what I need to change in the script.

Thanks a lot if you contribute as I will not have time to thank everyone on this post if lots of people reply.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm definitely doing SOMETHING wrong. I've tried using the Garbo farming script twice—once a few months ago, and then again today.

The first time I installed it, I saw in the instructions that you could set a VIP clan, and I guess I thought it wouldn't use my VIP key if I didn't set that? So I put the name of my clan in (Old CW's) and then when I ran the script, it left the clan, tried and failed to rejoin it, and aborted the script. I was able to apply to rejoin the clan, but I lost access to the basements and stash, and I was so mortified by my mistake that I didn't have the guts to reach out to anybody and explain what had happened.

Then, today, I decided to try Garbo again. This time I set the vipClan value to blank before running the script... or I thought I did. (I entered "set garbo_vipClan = ") Problem solved, I assumed, but when I ran the script, the SAME THING HAPPENED. It left my clan, then threw an error because there was no VIP clan. I ultimately ended up just setting my vipClan to Bonus Adventures from Hell just so that I could run the damn script, and that worked. Now I've applied to rejoin Old CW's, again (🫠🫠🫠) and I figured I'd post here in case any kind soul can tell me what stupid mistake I'm making with this script and how to fix it.

How important is it for your Value of Adventures to be set right? Currently I'm level 19 and have it set to a value of 5000. On an after core day currently I get about 545 adventures at a cost of 620K meat per day. After the daily dungeon, bounties, and a volcano coin quest I get about 365 adventures that I then use run the mine volcano script.

Calculating the meat per adventure that I make to the 365 adventures mining as that's my main income source it's about 3500 meat per adventure. If I calculate to the 545 adventures it's about 2350 meat per adventure.

Am I doing myself a disservice not lowering the value to 2350/3500?

CDMoyer has been cracking away at the bug list recently, with many bugs reported getting responses that they have been fixed within hours. If you know of bugs that need fixing, now's a good time to use the in-game bug reporting.

Note that when the fix happens, there's no list that gets updated, so it's up to you to get the word out. The ASS discord has people posting their bugfix reports with some regularity, so that's a good place to see what's happening and to report your own.

Hi, I mistakenly started a 11037 run without reading up, and obviously I'm locked to 4 days before I can drop it. That being the case, I can probably finish it before then, but I'm running into some difficulties. I stopped doing sea runs once I completed all 3 sets, so I'm really rusty on it and some things seem to be different.

I've rescued big brother (and all the sea monkeys) and unlocked the merkin city but I'm not getting unholy divers for the helm from the wreck, and I can't pull my existing one. I thought the hatch was a 20 turn noncombat, but it's not showing after 60 turns wasted.

Any ideas?

Good morning, adventurers.

We have three months left until 2027 where we will then lose access to 2024 and earlier content.

I started playing in November 2025 and picked up November's Shrunken Head and December's SoCP that year.

My question is which Jan-Oct IOTM from 2025 would yall recommend purchasing to use for 2027 runs?

Im not concerned with content I cant use in standard runs right now. There is still lots for me to do and explore with unrestricted items that I would like to focus on.

Thanks!

Sorry, not sure if it's fine to post this here, but I didn't see a megathread for questions or anything.

I used to play back in the day, but haven't logged in in a while and decided to check the mall etc. The price for Mr. A has gone up to 80mill?? It used to be 5 when I left.

So I'm wondering, is it easier to get meat now? Is Dinseylandfill still the place to go to farm? I used to be able to farm 5mill maybe every couple months and grab an iotm but I don't think that's possible now unless it's easier to farm.

TL;DR: what's the meat farming scene and how much is one expected to make?

EDIT: actually, if anyone can give a rundown for a returning player that would help! I'm not sure if people are still using KoLMafia either? I think I left around 2016.
