An entertainingly silly MMORPG

Hmmm, farming for casts could also be more lucrative than stars... But fewer stat gains. Same with plot holes and potions, but better stat gains... I still don't have the cash to feel comfortable buying enough sorceress battle items to get through the fight, unless casts are cheap.

I think Jick said that Ronin will eventually level off at 500. It will probably be at that point that I will be able to take advantage, since I am doing a few hardcores now to get the extra adventure items from pastamancer runs.

:P Out of Ronin. Kmail Nataya the character name you want one for.

The former are. (Current Mall price: 100 meat.) I usually accumulate a dozen or two of them while plowing through their area, as they're very common drops and I generally spend a lot of early-game time in that area. Even if the Sorceress interrupts half of them, you'll still likely come out ahead on HP.

The other item I mentioned is pricier, but since that's my main endgame-levelling area, I tend to accumulate a bunch.

In a typical Ascension, I never even _see_ the Hole in the Sky. By the time I'm powerful enough to adventure there, the Sorceress is dead and I'm on to my next time through, and you can purchase all six of the necessary items from that area from the Mall on a one-time basis. That's the hat, pants, buckler, a weapon, familiar and key, for those playing at home.

We really need to get Toad to implement mouse-over spoiler tags.

Also, the DB's standard attack doesn't use MPs, though Moxious Maneuver does. Yes, I really attack the first form with the Wand.

Yikes! You really do rely on your pickle!
