Maybe that's it. I'm trying to combine them. I need to get an oven, don't I?

Huh? It's always been flat dough and tomato for me (I'm almost positive). Only thing I've ever used wads for is pies and cookies.

Pizza dough can be either flat or in a wad.

But yes, you need an oven.

*nod* In order to make food of your own of any kind, you need an oven. Buy it and use it to install it in your campsite.

I can be flat, too? Hehe, I must've been selecting the wrong items too.

Oh, and btw: does anyone have goat's cheese they'd be willing to give or trade?

Edit: Hmm, I may've been seriously over-rating the adventure gain from pizzas. Or else just a string of bad luck.

Tammy,

If you want an easier character to play, consider creating a Disco Bandit or an Accordian Thief. They get Moxious Maneuvers (very powerful later on), and their emphasis on Moxie means they'll get hit much less often. Also, once you have enough meat and moxie to pass the Guild's test and buy it, get a Moxie Magnet ASAP-that boosts your Magic points considerably.

If you have not already, purchase a Familiar-Gro Terrarium in the Market. Then make familiars-they're very useful. The first one, a Mosquito, can be made by using a mosquito larva found in the Spooky Forest. The second, and (in my opinion) among the best is the Fairy Gravy. You can also level up more quickly if you get a Bloody Volleyball. To make that, get the stuff needed to visit the Hermit. Get a volleyball from the hermit, and get your hands on a Seal Tooth (They can be found in the sewer, and surely one of your clanmates has one by now, too). Use the tooth, then use the ball, then use the resulting item, then pick it up from your campground.

Make sure you've got a barskin tent at your campsite-made by combining a bar skin (Spooky Forest) and wooden stakes (spooky Forest). Those two items can be found in the Clan Stash, I think. The tent increases the point-regen when you rest.

Buttercup - Seal Clubber - Level 3

I have two Disco Bandits Tammmy and Tammmy2 both at Level 3.

I noticed that others have more than one character in the clan. I use the Tammmy's for practice. I messed up making them both Disco Bandits. What are the ways one can "mess" up and piss the clan off?

I was working at building my Karma, but that doesn't really help me out? Or does it?

I want to play the game and I like the advantages the clan offers, I just don't want to be the black sheep of the clan.

I don't have the time or the cunning tenacity to be a die hard gamer here. Okay, I have the time.

While building up my Karma ( I just need some good Karma okay) I donated some fairy gravy.

What are the advantages of donating vs. selling?

I’ve read some of the cheat sheets out there. I just need quick basics that I apparently don’t seem to find so quickly myself. I run out of adventures very quickly. I think I’m just trying to stock up vs. really playing the game.

No, don't smash the hippy stone. It allows other players to attack you (and you to attack them). You're probably not ready for that.

It sounds like you don't know what Karma is good for. It's like credit, that allows you to take items from our clan's stash for your own use. That is its only purpose, although we could use it for other things if we wanted to.

There's no point in "building up" Karma, unless you want to keep score against the other members of your clan. It's a measure of how much you've "taken" from the clan, relative to how much you've "given." And at your level, it's far more likely that you'll need to take more than you give -- so don't sweat it.

Tammy, just smile and flirt with all the men, and then talk bad about them behind their backs to all the women.

That way, you'll stay in tight with all the clan.

Oh, and beat up on as many Trolls as you can find.

I am not talking about the ones in the game.

Coffered some imp ale…got a little inebriated. Drunk as a skunk I’ve managed to get a blood faced volleyball and achieve Level 4.

Thanks!

Good Karma's out the door for awhile.

Edited to add that it's important to follow directions in the order given. Dang tooth bloodied my hand before it bloodied the ball.

Tammy,

Despite my hazing, I think you r0x0r5 (you'll understand that reference if you speak l337 or get to the Orc Chasm [Wink] .

Don't worry about the Karma, like others have said. Now that you're level 4, one thing you'll definitely want to get is a Baby Gravy Fairy. You get that by cooking (not combining) Fairy Gravy (which can be found, as you've learned, in the Haiku Dungeon) and a Knob (possibly Knoll) mushroom, and then using the result. This increases the rate at which monsters drop items; at L4, you're about to start dealing with some item-heavy quests.

If you want to get more adventures, you should build yourself a Clockwork Maid. All the items needed for its construction except one can be found in the Degrassi Knoll. You need to make a Meat Engine and combine it with a Frilly Skirt (dropped by a Gnollish Dresscrosser or Crossdresser). It will give you +4 adventures / day. After that, work on either a Bitchin' Meat Car or begin work on your Chef- and Bartender-in-a-Box. Those two in particular save lots of adventures.

Don't drink the imp ale. It steals moxie (?) points, besides adding adventures.

I think the imp ale is fine to drink. You get a net bonus of approximately 5 stats, in addition to your adventures.

Not so good if you're a disco bandit.

From the moon charts, a mysticalilty day is coming up in 2 or 3 days. I think I'm going to hold off on my sauceror til then.

zgator, you should at least drink and eat as much as possible between now and then, so you can get the max possible adventures. Otherwise you'll only have the 40 (43, 47, 50, whatever) adventures given per day. You may have thought of that, but if I can help someone, it's worth it.

Yep, try combining scrolls. There's a certain number you have to get to make it work. And one that just gives you cool stuff. Two words to think about: "Eleet" and "Gates".

If you adventure long enough in the chasm, you can get a Hermit Script. This haXor5 the Hermit, so you need never buy a Hermit Permit again.

Edit: Of course, that ain't nearly as good as a Worthless Trinket Script [Frown]

Dkw,

One way is to take them into the Knob Goblin Treasury. Doing so will reward you with a dense meat stack, which can be used for smithing or can be sold for 1,000 meat. It can also be taken into the sewer, and you get your choice of any three of the possible items found there. Spices in particular are great for Insanely Spicy Enchanted Bean Burritos, and you can also pick up Worthless items to visit the Hermit again.

Those, plus visiting the Casino and playing the game on the bottom right to gain a Big Rock. This can be used to created special class-specific weapons, which are pretty good for awhile.

Okay, who wants to trade me a Boris Key for a Jarlsburg Key? I thought the Daily Dungeon always spat out the same item at the end on any given day, but apparently it's not so. Two of my guys got Boris keys, and the one who actually needed a Boris Key got a Jarlsburg. And he already has two. [Wall Bash]

The three keys are very valuable, they all get between 9000-13000 meat at the mall. They can be made into Key Lime Pies, which give you an insane amount of stat points. You also need them for one of the last quests.

I've got about a bazillion boxes of spices. And it doesn't make much sense to use the clover in the sewer -- since it takes a sewer adventure to get one that's a zero-sum game. (Well, you do get two other items along with your worthless trinket, but I've got duplicates of them all already.)

I went for the big rock. [Smile]

And sent a clover to my sweetie for good luck in his meetings today.
