Semi-Rare Adventures
From TheKolWiki
(Redirected from Semi-rare) Semi-rare adventures are special adventures that provide unique rewards or allow the player to fight rare monsters. Like Clover Adventures, they only exist in some zones.
All players have a special hidden counter which is decremented when spending adventures. When the counter reaches zero, the player's next adventure will be a semi-rare adventure (if the player is adventuring in a zone that has one). The semi-rare will simply be missed if the player spends that turn anywhere other than in a zone that has a semi-rare adventure. Whether or not a semi-rare adventure was received, the counter will then reset to a random number from 160-200 and begin decrementing again.
This counter can be exposed by eating a fortune cookie -- one of the three "lucky numbers" given by each fortune will be the current value of the counter. The other two numbers are apparently random. To determine which of the three numbers is the counter, the player might eat two cookies and look for matching numbers, though an observant player can deduce the correct number if the other numbers fall outside the expected range.
There are several exceptions to these rules:
- Oxygenarians have an observed semi-rare counter range of at least 102-118 adventures. This shorter interval will be used until they break the prism or drop the path; once path restrictions have been lifted, the next semi-rare interval will revert to the normal 160-200 adventures.
- Your semi-rare counter is not set at the beginning of an ascension until you adventure in a normal zone (one which uses adventure.php). Eating a fortune cookie when no counter is set yields only random numbers.
- The counter also needs to be reset by adventure.php after receiving each semi-rare.
- The same semi-rare adventure cannot be encountered twice in a row -- in order to obtain a particular semi-rare more than once, a different one must be obtained in between. If you ascend, you can get the same semi-rare adventure a second time without getting a different one in between.
- Semi-rares will be overridden by adventuring while drunk, as you are redirected to the Drunken Stupor zone.
- Semi-rares can also be overridden by Clover Adventures, Bad Moon adventures, and Feast of Boris encounters. It is unknown how they interact with superlikelies.
- Teleportitis will not override your semi-rare adventure; it will only take you to a random zone, and if that zone has a semi-rare, you get that semi-rare.
Escaping combat using tattered scraps or similar items which don't cost adventures does not decrement the counter. This can be helpful if you know you should be getting a semi-rare adventure but go to the wrong zone by mistake.
Semi-rare adventures are obtainable without eating fortune cookies -- the cookies merely reveal the counter, as opposed to creating it. The power of fortune cookies lies in pinpointing the exact adventure during which a semi-rare will take place.
