Talk:Braaaaaains

From TheKolWiki

• No stat changes, familiar weight changes. Maybe worth noting that I got a disembodied brain from a brainsweeper with no +item drops one out of two times, which seems insignificant. Didn't notice any changes to my stat gains, either. --Coolguy00001 17:46BST, 19 August 2007
  • I don't think it's +brain drops. The base rate is 30%ish, so getting 1 in 1 isn't that odd; I had this, the monocle, and a rabbit's foot and didn't get any brains in two sweepers. (With Envy + Greed, however that works out affecting drops) --Bokodasu 07:39, 23 August 2007 (CDT)
  • Meatses, and lots of it, apparently: In Themthar hills from ~3.6k to ~1.7k meat. No clue as to actual numbers (not into spading much, nor into wikiing), just happened to come across it and thought I'd mention it. Makes sense with respect to most meat/item-drop whatchamacallits. --Mayonesse 13:11, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
    • I noticed Braaains giving +meat, so it makes sense that this does too. :) --Starwed 13:30, 7 September 2007 (CDT)
  • Doesn't seem to increase Brainsweeper encounters; I got zero in nine turns.--Toper 06:54, 7 September 2007 (CDT)

In the treasury- Elite Guard- 143 Bean Counter- 165, 167, 145, 159 One Chest. Sorry I couldn't get more turns.

Edible Brains?

Maybe disembodied brains become edible while this skill is in effect? --Lauren zi an wormhole 19:40, 15 September 2007 (CDT)

For anyone who wants some good data to play with. --Memnarch 14:23, 7 March 2008 (CST)

If my Excel math is correct, Adventures 2-10 above indicate an extra 219.055555555556% Meat drop. Given the necessarily small sample size, I think the actual bonus from the Braaaaaains effect is +200% Meat drops.

What about the unsubstantiated item drop penalty? Probably the best way to spade any item drop penalty would be to spend 10 adventures in The Beanbat Chamber with the Braaaaaains effect and exactly +50% Item Drops from other equipment and/or effects, for a modified drop rate right at 100%. If there's no item drop penalty, this would yield 10 enchanted beans. If there's a -100% item drop penalty, no enchanted beans would drop. Getting anywhere from 1 to 9 enchanted beans would indicate a penalty of lesser magnitude. --Dkohler 13:22, 30 July 2008 (CDT)
