Kind of weak

I leveled up on the battlefield. I know that speeders do not recommend this, but I guess getting steel organ and eating reagent pasta ASAP is important. Just like getting to level 9 and its rewards. Leveling took 31 adventures, that is not too bad. But what now? Should I try the friars right now?

I used one clover to get a grab bag and luckily got 2 mushrooms and 1 spices from it. That means reagent pasta today (I have chef and enough reagents from yesterday).

Now, the question remains how to fight the demons. My spells are weak, I do not have any fruits for potions. My stainless steel skullcap is not usable yet, I only have 20 muscle points.

But since I took the effort to level up, I should also do the quest. Otherwise, the adventures would be wasted. Sugar shorts, hair spray and tomato power would bring me close to winning the fights but not close enough. Lemon from the fun house? Another route would be to buy saucestorm, but I do not have the meat and getting it from beefy bodyguards would take too much time. Considering the options, I do not think I'll get the steel stomach today.

So I fought the beefy bodyguards and bought Gazpacho's Glacial Grimoire and Saucestorm (of course I forgot to get Expert Panhandling before the bodyguards).

Then I went into the fun house and got remaining clownosity items and fought Beelzebozo. (I also got 2 lemons.)

2 shore trips are done and I also found the dusty book.

The gate is priority #1 tomorrow. I might try to go for the epic hat before to make the fights easier.

Early chefstaff is good

I have gathered the components for a chefstaff to make use of my Spirit of Rigatoni as soon as possible. Unlike in my previous Pastamancer run, I just let Rodoric build the Staff of the Short Order Cook.

Jiggling the chefstaff actually kills monsters at this level. I managed to kill Baron von Ratsworth with it in one turn. Well, not just with it, my sleazy fairy hit him and the Throbbing rage gland finally made a difference.

Then I found Fernwarthy's grave and collected a diembodied brain. Hence I built the EW and went after a box and finally built myself a chef-in-a-box.

I have also built the bitchin' meatcar and found the screwdriver.

Being teetotaler and not having access to inside of degrassi knoll is slowing me down. I did not reach my first semi-rare yet. Tomorrow I might try to level up on the cola battlefield and obtain stomach of steel. Or I may collect meat from beefy bodyguards and leave the stomach for the day after that.

In the lair

No big surprises. I finished the island quest, the LOL quest and collected needed stars and lines.

I needed almost 800 substats to get to level 8 and so I used 2 clovers and then hit the Louvre on first adventure in the gallery.

The lair...
Gate of Morose Morbidity and Moping
Gate of Intrigue
Gate that is Not a Gate

Extreme luck!

Thin black candle is no problem, I got handsomeness potion during my long teleportitis and the correct DoD potion is the only one I know.

Now, I have to farm for pixels. I kind of never get them in the early days of my runs. 20 adventures gone.

Topiary golems - 8 adventures.

The tower:
the darkness - 8 adventures
malevolent crop circle - 1 adventure
Big Meat Golem - 1 adventure
fancy bath slug - 1 adventure
possessed pipe-organ - 1 adventure
Enraged Cow - 1 adventure

Not that bad. If I had the inkwell, it would be perfect.

3x lost to lower the block rate (although the first try without using any skill almost looked like I could win).

Run length: 7 days, 1342 adventures. With 2 feasts of Boris and 2 muscle days, it is not that spectacular, but still my fastest run day-wise.

With 2 adventures and 6 drunkenness left, I still need to:
- tame some more turtles
- finish mayor Zapruder quest and get mushroom fermenting solution
- finish bounty
I managed to do it all with the help of the spooky putty sheet.

This time, I permed Wisdom of Elder Tortoises. The level 14 or level 15 skills would probably be better choices, but I want to ascend today and extra MP will make my day 1 with non-myst classes easier.

A Sauceror is me, a female teetotaler Sauceror - there seem to be advantages in aftercore ;-).

I would really like to ascend tomorrow. With a bit of luck, it is possible. I still need to collect pixels, stars and lines and finish the level 9 quest (I have the scrolls, but I need the adding machine).

The Plan:
- collecting stars - 30 adventures
- collecting pixels - 30 adventures
- finishing L9 quest - 10 adventures
- nuns - 20 adventures
- filthworms - 20 adventures
- battlefield - 85 adventures
- tower - 25 adventures

= total of 220 adventures. Tough, but hopefully doable.

Second feast

Second feast of Boris in this run was today. The adventures from the extra fullness from the 2 feasts should save me a day.

I have collected a bounty in the castle, but I did not get furry fur nor awful poetry journal, so I will have to return there. The LOL quest is still unfinished. From the Holy MacGuffin quest, 3/5 are done - I still need to find the fertilizer, hidden temple, hidden city and then do the pyramid.

I finally go the wand and a second key. The same as yesterday and I had to zap it. I also have the hippy outfit.

I tamed a lot of turtles today, mainly hedgeturtles and some painted turtles. Also one syncopated turtle when I was after the hippy outfit.

Levelig up in the gallery was frustrating - very slow.

I guess, I will be able to ascend in 2 more days. Tomorrow is unrealistic considering the progress today. That will be 7 days + 1 extra for the feasts - my usual 8 days. I guess I'll need Mr. Store familiars or olfaction to get to ordinary 7 days. Or maybe Ode to Booze and SHC would do the trick.

Whatever

Second muscle day. Haunted gallery was troubling. The non-combats were pretty rare.

I have finished te bonerdagon and the trapper quests. I have opened the castle in the sky and picked one inhaler. I'll have to adventure in the valley a bit more to get one scroll (or get a wand and zap it) and then use the adding machine.

Teleporting a lot

A muscle day. A bad one. I got teleportitis 3 times. Once before I got the book and second time the oracle did not appear.

Goblin king is down and I made 3 shore trips, unlocked spookyraven and collected most of the cheese.

2 muscle days are ahead, I should reach level 9 tomorrow and then I'll be on the right track for a 7-days run. Maybe.

A long day

So, I farmed bird rib, make the stew and got staff of fats. Then I waited a bit more for a 2nd inhaler. Then I finished the nuns and spend the remaining adventures on battlefield (no damn hero). I guess I will not wait for a second inhaler in my future runs unless I get the first one sooner.

My semi-rares currently include: lunchbox - distilled wine - lunchbox - ascii art - inhaler - lunchbox - inhaler

Then I had to finish the L11 quest.

The NS lair:
Gate of Spirit - OK.
Gate of Flame - clovering.
Gate of the Ogre - troubling - I could have gambled, but since I am in no hurry, I went the safe way.

Tower:
Fickle Finger of F8 - 1 adventure

Run length: 8 days, 1387 adventures. Hm, not as good as it could have been.

I tried to make use of the Spirit of Rigatoni I permed previous Pastamancer run, but the only thing it did was save me the meat for the skill. The Staff of blood and pudding was hard to make because of the twinkly nugget and hence a 80-power item requirement. I have a really bad luck pulverizing those, setting various powders or elemental nuggets. I guess, I could have pulverized my stainless steel cap right in the beginning and pray. Next time, I'll probably try for one of the even simpler chefstaves.

I permed Cannelloni Cocoon.

----

A Turtle Tamer is me.

On feast of Boris, the first day was longer. On of the special monsters have beaten me up, but I got 5 others. I'll be selling 3 low-level items in the mall.

I managed to get to level 6 and I had enough adventures to do the friar quest, but I was not strong enough, especially after my sugar shorts broke down.

The day before

I did the junkyard, the orchard and half of the nuns quest and then waited for a second inhaler. While waiting, I discovered the pyramid, got one glass of goat milk and got the wand.

Since there is no chance to ascend today and tomorrow is the feast of Boris, I decided to save adventures as well as the got milk effect.

I managed to zap dehydrated caviar into black pepper.

Ascending tomorrow should be no problem. I only need to:
- finish the digital key (25 adventures)
- find and finish the hidden city (45 adventures)
- finish palindome (15 adventures)
- do the pyramid (60 adventures)
- finish nuns (10 adventures)
- finish war (50 adventures)
- do the NS lair (30 adventures)
That is a hefty 235 adventures, but I have 93 saved from today and with feast of Boris +15 fullness limit, I should have at least a 100 adventures left after freeing the king.

Like never before

With 100 saved adventures, the myst day was productive. I managed to reach level 10, do the level 10 quest and collect all stars and lines, then reach level 11 and kill lord Spookyraven, discover oasis and do the pirates and meet Mr.Alarm. Level 12 seemed near and I reached it right in time, started the war and said Guy made of bees for the 5th time and hence did the arena sub-quest and picked a buff for tomorrow.

Well, it would be nice to rescue the king tomorrow, but the chances are slim. I still need 24 pixels, DoD potions and wand, find and clear the hidden city, find and clear the pyramid and then do the frat boy-hippy war. I actually wanted a 8-day run and ascend on feast of Boris. That means 2 days and that looks like a realistic plan.

In a hurry

Finishing the L9 quest and saving adventures for a myst day. Nothing particularly interesting.

Back on the road

I have finished the bonerdagon quest, discovered DoD, but I have no wand, because I do not have the meat. The trapper quest would provide it, but I lack cold resistance. I should consider getting the exotic parrot soon.

I reached level 9 and got my hippy outfit from the non-combats.

The goat milk problem is back - I only got one despite spending extra adventures chasing goats.

I finally built the chefstaff of blood and pudding, but I expect to build and use the soupbone tomorrow.

3rd day slowdown

I did the stuff I skipped the first 2 days and hence the progress was slower. I also collected a bounty on clowns and that has slowed me down.

I have built a meatcar, my LEW, and I did the quests (except bonerdagon), opened 2nd floor and got Boris's key.

Level: 7

I still do not have the chefstaff - I am missing a twinkly nugget. I wonder where people obtain an item to smash into the nugget. I am thinking smashing the stainless steel cap is the only way to get it very soon (50% chance though). I can also smash my LEW or demon jacket, but the chances are low. I suppose I might get a suitable item during the cyrpt quest, but the chefstaff does not look so shiny now as it looked in the early days and soupbone is not that far away.

I must speed up, only 5 days left to feast of Boris.

No Hell ramen

Steel margarita was the priority #1 and hence I adventured on the cola battlefield. Since all stat gains equally probable there and today was a moxie day and due to a RNG unwillingness to give me myst stats, my moxie actually surpassed my mysticality at one point. Not ideal, but I do not complain.

Upon reaching level 6, I started doing the friar quest with sugar chapeau and sugar shorts. Fights were tough, but Ravioli shurikens did the job. When the broke, I continued just with the chapeau and things were even tougher. I got beaten up a couple of times and collected 7 worthless trinkets (and traded 2 of them for clovers). The hellions were pretty nasty, I encountered like 6 of them (one beat me up), but I got no cubes despite using the fairy all the time. The situation was really bad and I had to use the starting clover to get a knob goblin grab-bag to be able to cook a proper food. (Got 1 mushroom and 1 sausage of it, but Hell ramen would be better on the moxie day.)

In the end, I did it - I got the steel margarita with ~20 adventures remaining. The next priority was food source in the form of the mushroom field (damn hellion cubes). I adventures in the treasury and auto-sold all I could to make the 5000 for the field + 200 for hermit permits + 660 for mushroom sprouts. I also got 2 parts of the elite uniform - hopefully, I'll get the remaining one in the harem.

That's it - still no chefstaff - I need 1000 for hammer and then something with power 90 to pulverize (with luck) into twinkly nuggets and bloody mary. I'll probably try to make demon jacket and pulverize that if nothing better appears before I get bloody mary.

With the Knob Goblin elite shirt, the stainless steel skullcap, sugar shorts, coffin lid and infernal insoles, I actually became relatively good melee fighter. Unexpected.

I must start working on the quests, built a meatcar, the in-boxen, slay boss bat, goblin king and work on the bonerdagon once the quest becomes available. Actually making it to the level 8 tomorrow and use the blessing on the goats will be great...

Up and down

20 adventures in the ballroom, a new sugar shield and the fight was extremely easy. The Naughty Sorceress only took away 1/3 of my HP and I spent 2/3 of my MP. Block rate was minimal - unlike yesterday.

Total length: 9 days; 1351 adventures; I am ashamed, but I should have been able to ascend yesterday. Those 20 extra turns and one sugar shield could were manageable.

This was my first run with Vent Rage Gland and I did not find the right place to use it. The MP cost seems high in the beginning and the damage low in the end. Maybe if I fought the baron...

Anyway, let's do a bounty hunt, then tame some turtles, and finally explore the slime tube for the first time.

While taming sleeping wereturtles, I got lucky and heard the demon name, it is: Gambaal Gazka. He should be helping me with the nun quest from now on.

I am perming Armorcraftiness.

Back to being a Pastamancer, my favorite class. Then, I realized I did not get the reward from mayor Zapruder. 50000 meat lost.

I managed to reaching level 4 in time - I had to eat one boring spaghetti and drink one bottle of cooking sherry, but then the gourd potion and one stat item saved me. I found the Fernwarthy grave and adventures on the battlefield until level 5, then I did a quick trip to the knob goblin kitchen and harem, but the area was a bit tough and I retreated back to the spooky forest, looking for the temple (but found nothing). At least I collected one bottle of used blood and I'll be building Staff of Blood and Pudding tomorrow.

Meat sink

Finishing the war took all my initial adventures and all adventures from food.

The gates were troubling, because I needed adder bladder. Nearly 20 adventures lost. I had to gamble with the DoD potions, but luckily I avoided the drunkenness giving one.

The tower:
best-selling novelist - 1 adv
Big Meat Golem - 1 adv
Bowling Cricket - 3 advs
Electron Submarine - 1 adv
the darkness - 1 adv
collapsed mineshaft golem - 1 adv

Lost 3 times to the sorceress and then prepared for the final fight. Well, both my sugar shield and my sugar shorts broke after defeating the first form. So, I had to run away. I only have a single sugar sheet left.

I tried again and lost to the second form (wasting my 2 red pixel potions). Now I am without any HP restorers. I guess, I will not beat her today. And I did not. I tried once more, tt was close, but in the end, she beat me. If she blocked less of my tries, the end could have been different. Tomorrow then.

Preparing for war

Today, I did the holy MacGuffin quest. My luck was average, sometimes thing came slowly, sometimes fast.

Then I started the hippy war and did the arena quest flyering monsters in the hole in the sky, 8-bit realm and pyramid. The fights were hard, but I was losing a lot of HP and meat. Wereseal blood and clocks were frequently needed. I guess, I'll have to perm a healing skill soon.

I also started to adventure in the junkyard and collected one tool.

50 adv - battlefield & end of war
And then the tower...

Good enough

After finishing the level 10 quest and getting the quantum egg, I leveled up and started the holy MacGuffing quest.

I found the black market, did the shore trip and opened manor cellar. Wines came quickly with the friar blessing. I dealt with Lord Spookyraven (and used a potion, but it was no necessary - he fumbled). Then I spent 10 adventures getting a goat milk. Not sure it that was worth it.

After that I found the hidden temple and the city and then I finished collecting insults and adventuring in the bar.

I also managed to collect a bounty in the airship.

Since I only had a single goat milk, I stopped adventuring and saved all the adventures gained from food for tomorrow (with the Got milk effect active).

I zapped dehydrated caviar into a black pepper. I bet it will not be needed this run.

I guess ascending in 2 days is a realistic plan. I would be great if I did it in 1, but I do not believe that will happen. I have 95 saved adventures, but I still need the digital and star keys, and do most of the L11 quest.

Just another day

I made the final vacation and built a boat. Working on the pirate outfit, I got 2 eyepatches and pants, but no parrot. Zapping? To get the wand, I needed money.

So I went after the bonerdagon and then in the dungeon of doom. I got the wand soon, but there are other candidates for the zaps. Like the Hippy outfit...

Getting Hippy outfit was actually super fast - just 2 adventures in the Hippy camp with Smooth movements and I got the 2 pieces from 2 noncombat adventures. Still, I rather zapped the Jarlsberg earring from yesterday (-> Boris key) and continued adventuring in the cove.

Then I did the LOL quest, spending my semi-rare and started collecting insults.

Reaching level 10, I planted the bean and adventures in the airship and in the castle, using twinkly wads, hair sprays and ben-gal balms. I managed to collect a bounty there.

2nd trip to daily dungeon and I got the Sneaky Pete key.

Louvre visit

I have opened the gallery yesterday, but I only managed to adventure there today. And the stats were not bad. I have collected yesterday's bounty there and then I moved on. It was pretty costly - I had to use wereseal blood to survive there.

Other accomplished tasks include discovery of the Dungeons of Doom, slaying of the goblin king, mining and goat cheese collecting (only a single glass of goat milk :-() and doing 4 shore vacations.

Not as good as expected

Well, I thought, I'll be able to get liver of steel this day, but I did not. The fights were too tough for me.

At least I got meat from beefy bodyguards and found the dusty book. I had terrible luck in the kitchens. 1 mushroom after 20+ adventures.

It was close

Finishing the orchard did not take long. Back to the battlefield reaching the nuns. But what now? The pyramid, waiting for another inhaler. And then the digital key, because more waiting is needed.

I got into a tower with very few adventures left.

The tower:
Fickle Finger of F8 - 2 adventures (used scrap of paper)
giant fried egg (am I really cursed?) - 2 adventures (used scrap of paper and clover)
Electron Submarine - 1 adventure
Big Meat Golem - 1 adventure
best-selling novelist - 1 adventure
collapsed mineshaft golem - 1 adventure

3 adventures and 3 drunkenness left, there is still hope. I had a little trouble with the shadow, because I did not have any red pixel potions and the poultices were not strong enough. The NS fell after 3 tries (I let her beat me to lower the block rate). The last try was a bit lucky - my sugar shield broke down after the 2nd form was down.

Finding a pyramind never took so long and I still did not find it when I reached level 12. So I went to the island and started the war, did the arena quest, the junkyeard and started fighting on the battlefield. I reached the orchard, but did not have enough time to finish it.

Pirate troubles

The Holy MacGuffing quest. I found the black market and did the cellar (except Lord Spookyraven). Then I went to the island and the pirates were troublesome. I spent ages on the F'c'le. Lots of cleaners, barrrnacles, but no mop.

I have given up the hope to ascend tomorrow and went bounty hunting (and demon name hunting into the spooky forest). No demon name though.

Not much else happened. I forgot to go to the daily dungeon and I do not have a wand. This could be a problem. But since ascending tomorrow is unrealistic, it does not matter much yet.

Leveling up

A mysticality day. I gathered the pirate outfit and got the dictionary, then I needed to open the second floor of the manor and level up and wait for a semi-rare bad ascii art. I got it and collected some more scrolls before the adding machine came. I decided to do the 31337 scroll first to trade my 3 trinkets for clovers. The quest can wait.

Then more leveling up and level 10 quest + raver giant bounty.

More leveling up until the end of the day.

I managed to instruct the quartet, learn fearful fettucini, say guy made of bees 4 times and get the antique mirror.

Suffering

Today was terrible. Lots of adventures spent looking for the white citadel, not found it, but got the outfit.

Goat cheese came quickly, but I wanted the bounty and spent 41 adventures there. Farming for cherry took ages as well, and I got 2 limes. Not that I need them.

When I finally built the Staff of the Soupbone, I realized I cannot use it yet due to its high mysticality requirement.

Then I got the epic hat an things started to look better.

By the end of the day, I did the daily dungeon and got an earring and decided to try the > sign as well. Finally some luck, 2nd adventure book, 3rd adventure teleportitis, 4th adventure oracle. 4 adventures fishing in the sewers - 3 trinkets.

I only managed to save 7 adventures for tomorrow. Hopefully the stats from bonerdagon chest and the leaflet take me closer to the 75 require mysticality and I would be able to equip the chefstaff. A semi-rare is close and it might come just in time for the bad ascii art.

The goals are clear, do the level 9 quest, open library and bathroom and level up as fast as possible.

Underworld trunk opens?

Hm, the mysterious underworld trunk would not open. No matter, it is a solid piece of wood and it can now be crafted into 3 different weapons. The weapons are only usable in aftercore and each gives 10 substats to particular attribute and has other fancy features. I have not yet decided, which one I should choose.

The function of the underworld acorn remains unknown. Some speculate, it will be possible to plant it on next Arrrbor day and adventure in the shivering timbers again, chopping down the underworld tree again, get another trunk and craft a different weapon. It would surely be nice. Maybe it will happen, maybe not. And maybe it happens on Halloween instead on the Arrrbor day. That would make sense, since it would be possible to obtain the outfit and the ax again on Halloween. Finishing the whole quest is not hard even on a single day. We'll see.

Back to ascension stuff. Today was slow, at least I did the goblin king quest, got the glass balls, finished wizard of ego (nice timing here, I'll get 100 substats on myst day), made 4 shore trips and got all shore tower items, built chef, bartender and maid, cooked insanely enchanted bean burrito for the epic hat quest, got diamonds and chrome ore for the trapper. I also adventured in the cyrpt, but I did not kill any sub-bosses yet. Of course, I got the steel margarita.

Things are slowing down. I still do not have the LEW. I must obtain it and the epic hat tomorrow (need tomato for boring spaghetti). And then the chefstaff - I still need herbs (from road to white citadel), rib of the Bonerdagon (easy), bottle of whiskey (from a goat) and cherry (a problem - fruit golem or lemon party slot?). I also should do the goats bounty. Considering the tasks, it will be pretty hard if I wanted to save adventures for a myst day and make use of a milk of magnesium on 2 days.

End of arborween

The shivering timbers are gone now and the trick or treating icon in town is inaccessible. Back to ascending.

I had a lot to do today. I managed to get Harold's bell and farm the beefy bodyguards, but a mushroom plot with the made money and do the friars quest. Unfortunately, there were not enough adventures left to meet the pencil-necked demon, so I did not bother collecting the toys and build a meat car and EW instead. I am still working on the LEW. Not that it is overly useful, but the epic hat regenerates MP and that is useful.

Final stats:
Level: 7
Muscle: 35
Mysticality: 45 (8 left to level 8)
Moxie: 39
Days played this run: 3

Priorities for tomorrow include getting the steel margarita, the epic hat, kill goblin king and bonerdagon, reach level 8 and get lump of diamond and some herbs to make myself a chefstaff.
