Maximizing Your Elemental Resistance

From TheKolWiki

[ Return to Dressing For Success ]

This page details various levels of Elemental Resistance, in terms of increasing amounts of effort needed to acquire them. The page only considers resistance to all elements. For specific elemental resistances, there are other useful effects and other pieces of equipment that may be more beneficial than those listed here. Every classification of player has a variety of resources available to them as detailed here.

KoL Deity: This player has the absolute best possible equipment and advantages. This represents the theoretical maximum.

Villa: This player has worked steadfastly to obtain the best possible gear, excepting only gear priced in the low bugmeat range and higher. This player has ascended a number of times, including some Hardcore, Hardcore Oxy and Hardcore Bad Moon runs. This player has also made the choice to do such things as picking the appropriate class and moon sign, getting Hopped Up on Goofballs and getting their clan to shell out for buffs. It can be a tough task, but any player in the game can do it, given enough diligence and perseverance.

Ascender: This player has worked very hard and has ascended a number of times, including some Hardcore, Hardcore Oxy and Hardcore Bad Moon runs, but has not gone to quite the extremes that a Villa player (villan) has.

Casual: This player may have not been around long, but has made a decent effort to play the game. They have ascended a number of times including some Hardcore runs, but has not gone to quite the extremes that a Ascender has.

Apathetic Lizardman: This player probably hasn't ascended yet, but has made a decent effort.

Note that there is no hard cap on resistance; however, each additional level of resistance past 4 is subject to diminishing returns. The currently hypothesized limit for resistance is 90% (95% for Mysticality classes). Please see the main page on Elemental Resistance for more details.
