you're welcome, Bob. I mentioned it because that's what I did - add numbers to a familiar password.

Is it possible for someone to smith me a better spooky type staff for my Level6 pastamancer? I just have the ordinary Spooky staff and I'd like to get something with "a better bang for my buck". What should I buy/use/make?

And what do I need to get rid of those darn flies in the Cave?

A gnollish flyswatter might help dispatch those flies...

One of my passwords doesn't have numbers in it. I just used punctuation instead.

I've made noodles galore, but don't know what to cook them with.

I might need some more skill, though. I tried to take Abby's advice and make a gravy fairy familiar with a knoll mushroom and fairy gravy, but it didn't work. Either I'm a bad cook or the advice was under par. I don't know which. [Big Grin]

There are 2 different types of mushrooms. Perhaps you used the wrong one?

Nathan, I've got a pastamancer name of Jeff the Aldente. Message him sometime if you want something cooked.

Oh, and as for advice about cooking. The very best items must be cooked using a trained Sauceror and a trained Pastamancer. The Sauceror can make the necessary sauces-made with Scrumptious Reagents-and the Pastamancer takes that sauce and mixes with dry noodles.

If you're strapped for cash, I could use my store in the Mall to sell them for you and give you the meat. They run 3000+ meat / noodle, I think closer to 4,000.

Edit: Oh, and re: mushrooms. To make a Baby Gravy Fairy, you must cook a Knob mushroom and Fairy Gravy together. Knoll mushrooms are both more numerous and pretty much useless, in my experience.

Nevermind. Question asked and answered. Would I find the shroom at Kobb's Knob?

Edit: Wooo! Within like three adventures in the Kobb's Knob kitchens I found one. Gravy Fairy familiar, here I come!

*nod* It's the best-selling, too I think. Spag. w/ skullheads sells for approx. 5000 less.

I would recommend keeping your sauceror away from completing the Friar quest. It can be delayed, and it makes getting hellion cubes MUCH easier, I think.

how on earth do you make it? The ingredient is something with "inferno" in it, IIRC, but where do you get it?

RitaRotini is a pastamancer (mine) and WhoosyWhatsit is a sauceror (also mine). They will cook for you if you send the ingredients.

For Hell Ramen, you need scrumptious reagent and hellion cube cooked by sauceror into hell broth and then the hell broth and dry noodles are cooked by the pastamancer.

BTW, how can you get scrumptious reagent besides from a sauceror (or buying it). Can you find it anywhere else?

edited to change "hell sauce" to "hell broth" and note that Nathan and I posted simultaneously. [Smile]

Hellion Cube + Scrumptious Regeant = Hell Broth
Scrump Regs can only be made by trained Saucerors.

Hell Broth + Dry Noodles = Hell Ramen (can only be made by Pastamancers)

Hell Ramen is made thusly:

A trained (in the guild, I mean-it costs a lot) Sauceror cooks a Scrumptious Reagent together with a Hellion Cube.

The agents can be found in the Lab, I forget where exactly. Hellion Cube drops by Hellion monsters in the top 1/3 of the Deep Fat Friar's woods.

That makes Hell Broth.

Only a properly trained Pastamancer can cook Hell Broth together with Dry Noodles, making Hell Ramen.

The Scrumptious Reagents can be found in the Cobb's Knob Laboratory (The part with the stick figure goblins in it, not any of the menageries). It's been my experience that they drop much less frequently than the hellion cubes in the Neck of the Deep Fat Friars but maybe as often as dry noodles in the kitchens.

Is there a better place to get food ingredients (better than the Kobb's Knob Kitchens, that is) that I'm missing? I've just taken to selling Ramens and eating pizzas or burritos. Maybe not quite as many adventures or stat points, but I don't really need them at this point.

when I get a chance to stock up on 10-leaf clovers but can't run right over to the Cobb's Knob treasury, I store them in the closet so they don't get used by mistake. Also, when adventuring in the Orc Chasm, I store things that are listed before dictionary, so I don't have to click on the drop-down menu when fighting.

The closet is really helpful if you are carrying too many items in your inventory. It cuts back the time, whenever you scrounge through your inventory looking for items you need.

If you're prone to making careless mistakes, it's also smart to keep most of your meat in your closet. When you shop in the mall you might end up buying 100 of something when you just meant to buy 10.

Has anyone else had a problem getting worthless things with a seal clubber? I can't ever seem to get one in the sewer with mine, but my sauceror and my disco bandit have not problems.

BTW, my sauceror can also do Scrumptious Reagents now, so if anyone needs anything whipped up, send a message to Zanadu.

They're for use in the final quest. Along with every other type of key you can think of (and, for some odd reason, a balloon monkey, unfamiliarified of course). They probably sell for so much because you don't make any meat in the 8-bit realm, and high level folks don't want to waste their adventures there.

I don't know... if Digital Keys were only useful for the final quest, I don't think they'd be worth that much. One-time use things just aren't that valuable, unless there's a significant stat advance with the use. Since there's NO reward at all at this point with the final quest, why would people be willing to spend, repeatedly, 20k for a key that they could easily make themselves.

I figure the Digital Key must be useful for some type of food item or something... why else would it be worth 2x a Sneaky Pete's Key?

Wow, I'm gonna have to spend some time in the 8-Bit realm making digital keys if they sell for so much. And I think you underestimate the value people put on their adventures. To make a digital key it takes 30 white pixels, which takes an absolute minimum of 10 adventures to acquire (I think), and that's only if you get the right enemy 10 times in a row. I think 30 adventures is a more likely target, and high level people generally value their adventures at about 1000 meat a piece. Though that value may be coming down a bit since the hippies started protesting at the icy peak.

I would recommend nabbing spices, a trinket, and a seal-tooth.

Other places to visit with a 10-leaf clover include: Knob Goblin Treasury, Knob Goblin Kitchens, Casino (bottom right hand game), Spooky Forest, and others I can't think of right now.

You'll get a roll of drink tickets ...you do however, have to be dressed in your little Orcish Frat Boy Ensemble Suit.

Apparently...using the roll will give you a random assortment of alchohol.

Not that it's happened to me yet.

I'm still pouting over the fact that your hard earned clover poufs away once prize is attained.

And Ruby Ws are good for making WANDs, or WANGs. Though I still don't know what good either of those do. Using a WAND gives you a wand of Nagamar, but it doesn't do anything to the best of my knowledge.
