Crimbo reindeer vs. skeletal
The tiny plastic skeletal reindeer is much cheaper than the tiny plastic Crimbo reindeer in the mall, so the skeletal one should be in the table instead, right? (Sorry for forgetting to sign.) --Tularion 08:55, 11 February 2007 (CST)
And a dead guy's watch beats them both. I'm gonna go edit that in.
EDIT: And someone's probably gonna get pissed at me for some reason. :\

New Crimbo Tiny Plastics
With the new tiny plastic, the normal player can have either the crimbo reindeer or the skeletal reindeer or the bitchin' meatcar or the dead guy's watch. I'm not sure how to do this.

For the villa player, why can't he afford a time sword? --Applehat 08:20, 6 July 2006 (CDT)
I suppose that's debatable. Two time swords would cost 5 million meat. If you really want to change it on this page, go ahead. I just left it off, because otherwise there wouldn't be much of a difference between Villa and Diety. --Deadgoat 03:20, 7 July 2006 (CDT)
Oh, my. There are several things wrong with this page. I may update it later if I have more time, but until then, I'll just point out what's wrong.
- Deity and Villa should be exactly the same, because no custom items give adventures.
- Why would an Ascender have a time helmet, but not any other time equipment? I'd nix it. Modern-day ascenders will probably not have it, unless they specifically tried to earn it. If it must stay, then add the rest, too.
- Shouldn't an Ascender have a solitaire? I could maybe understand not having a pocketwatch, but most people that do a single HC non-Oxy run will have a solitaire.
- Every player in the Kingdom and their mothers have access to a Calendar. Move to Apathetic Lizardman.
--DestroyerBEACON 08:47, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
Made most of the changes I listed. A few more notes:
- "Villa" has roughly 10 million to spend (I checked the Dressing for Success page before edited, but after talking), so I reallocated the INW to a single time sword, and added a plexi pocketwatch. I didn't add a second sword, becuase I figured that a "Villa" level player maay not have the moeny to get a second time sword, even if DFSS is permed.
- It's entirely possible for any normaly player to get a TPBMC. I took the precedent of the Maximizing Your Meat Drops page, which gives the "Normal" player TPH's.
- I gave "Normal" a pagoda. Most new players try to complete every quest, and end up with a pagoda before ascending.
--DestroyerBEACON 10:59, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
- Actually, I'll think you find that few players know about the Pagoda quest, and even fewer players do it.--Jubbers 06:12, 16 October 2006 (CDT)
- Hardcore would only get access to a Clockwork Maid if playing under a Moxie sign, which may not always be desirable/possible. Likewise, a hardcore player technically can use a solitaire or pocketwatch, though only if their last run was a HC[O] Pastamancer. --Quietust 12:03, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
I more or less left "Hardcore" alone (because it isn't on the Dressing for Success page, mostly). You do have a point, though. I think the plexi watch should be added, assuming that the "Hardcore" section represents the theoretical maximum. The clockwork maid and pagoda may be horribly impractical to farm for in HC (unless you're planning to go for some of the Hardcore trophies, maybe), but they're still a part of the theoretical maximum. --DestroyerBEACON 12:12, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
"Hardcore" isn't part of Dressing for Success and will therefore be deleted. It's really a pretty ridiculous concept - it's just not the sort of thing hardcore players do. Can you imagine eating endless Lucky Surprise Eggs until just waiting for the bitchin' meatcar to drop? There isn't yet a methodology for campground gear, the Calendar or familiars, because Rollover Adventures wasn't included in the original scope of the project, but the pagoda and the Calendar of Loathing look good. On the Wild Hare, a couple of points. First, the total doesn't include any bonus adventures from the Hare (bonus adventures equals roughly 20 (250 adv. / 12)). Secondly, I'm not sure that the Hare should be included at all. Most players adventure for stats, meat or items, and the Hare is suboptimal for all three. I'll leave the Hare as-is for the moment. Finally, for equipment valuation reasons, a number of changes need to be made. The equipment allowance refers to "the maximum value of a single piece of equipment", not your entire equipment budget. Changes are: Villa - add second time sword, replace tiny plastic bitchin' meatcar with imitation nice watch. Normal - add tiny plastic Crimbo reindeer, replace meat maid with clockwork maid. Apathetic Lizardman - add meat maid. --Gymnosophist 20:59, 9 August 2006 (CDT)
- Yeah, I officially apologize to anyone that thinks my idea for hardcore was stupid. It is a little annoying that some things can be so cheap in the mall, but very difficult to acheive in hardcore. I know that doesn't really apply to this page, but the other pages can be difficult to use in hardcore... O well. --Deadgoat 20:37, 11 August 2006 (CDT)
Sword of Prepositions
If you duel-wield sword of prepositions (SP), you get +10 adv. Two time swords give you +6, +3 for having the time trappings outfit, for a total of +9. The SP should replace time swords as the weapon for Villa and KoL Deity. --Venturboy 21:45, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
On a different note, a Normal player wouldn't have access to both the sword (50k) and the TP crimbo reindeer (75k). They'd probably have neither, in fact.--Jubbers 06:11, 16 October 2006 (CDT)
Grimactite Goggles
I know this seems highly unlikely, but could the ascender possibly purchase enough raffle tickets or get really lucky and get the grimactite goggles?--Aznpride05 04:19, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
- They could, but they would end up with fewer rollover adventures if they used it instead of the time helmet. --sl1me 05:33, 9 September 2006 (CDT)
Counterclockwise Watch
The Counterclockwise Watch's page says it doesn't stack with the imitation nice watch, but KOL Diety has them both equipped. Which page is right?--Kenshin8671 15:31, 5 February 2007 (CST)
- It's actually (according to my knowledge) unknown weather or not it stacks with the imitations nice watch. I'm under the impression that it doesn't, since I know it's been tested with the dead guy's watch and doesn't stack. Actually, I just rechecked the forum post for the item's appearance and noticed that Jick mentioned that it does fall under the "watch rule". So that's almost a definite doesn't stack. --TheDotGamer 08:16, 14 February 2007 (CST)
KoL Deity error
Maximum 72 adventures with hare? I believe this hasn't factored in spleen items like not-pipes... --MrAndersonMan 06:42, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
Counterclockwise watch and imitation nice watch don't stack so they can't be equip together. --Wojo 12:08, 3 May 2008 (CDT)
General Sage's Lonely Diamonds Club Jacket
Why is only listed under villa and deity? certainly an ascender can get one as well? right? I updated the page. --Dibbin 10:48, 11 July 2007 (CDT)
I was going to post the same thing. I have ascended only 3 times in my KoL career due to going for the lvl 30 trophies and just enjoying the sights and so forth and I have one. --Scottstapp 03:14, 26 December 2007 (CST)
Meat Maids
Why is the clockwork maid listed under the 'Normal' player category? it's from the gnomad camp, an ascension area. It'd be fair to assume a normal player might have a meat maid, but not a clockwork one. anyone agree/disagree? Monsieur 08:26, 13 October 2007 (CDT)
- They're available from the mall. There's also a rewrite of the methodology going on, so if there's anything else about the current rules that people find confusing or illogical, that would be the place to comment on it. --Bagatelle 11:06, 13 October 2007 (CDT)
Fancy Chocolate etc.
All of Vitachoconutriment capsules, fancy chocolate and fancy but probably evil chocolate have been left out of this equation for the max at the bottom, they wouldn't be missed by the person maxing out their adventures surely! --KidOblivious 10:52, 20 December 2007 (CST)
- ROLLOVER Adventures. And sign your posts.--MaskedLihc 12:38, 20 December 2007 (CST)
- The OP may have been referring to the adventures granted by the Hare in the notes (the phrasing is sorta ambiguous), in which case the comment is valid, though the effect would be small and would apply only to Deities anyway. --Bagatelle 19:16, 20 December 2007 (CST)
Apologies, bad wording and my own confusion don't help!
I was thinking of the 'threoretical max' formula in the notes at the bottom, where the adventurer eats wedges of grey cheese, and drinks grimacite bock: that adventurer isn't held back by any budget considerations. I do completely concede I'm slightly off-topic, however that theoretical max listed, it can be topped, and thus needs minor modification IMHO, however how many of each they would scoff is an open question to me. --KidOblivious
- Well, if that's the case, 9 advs from chocs and 9 advs from caspule chocs would be 18 more adventures, which would raise the total of adventures obtained by the hare to 106 and a 1/3. So really, the optimal way of going about that would be to eat 1 choc and 1 capsule choc for 10 advs, which gives you 1272. *shrugs* Someone could add it, but it feels rather trivial to me.--MaskedLihc 10:07, 21 December 2007 (CST)
You can also get a few extra combats by fighting sandworms (with the drum machine) after you're drunk. --PlatypusNinja 20:35, 14 January 2008 (CST)
You can also get up to 8 more adventures from Time Juice if you happen have some.--Koolkid 18:43, 21 January 2008 (CST)
Liver of Steel
The Liver of Steel could also allow you to drink more and get more adventures from the hare.--Koolkid 18:54, 21 January 2008 (CST)
- That would be true but the hare is based on the stomach of steel, and you are only allowed one steel organ. --Chunky_boo 09:19, 19 February 2008 (CST)
- Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that there's an error in the calculation. To have Stomach of Steel aren't you supposed to be a Teetotaler? So that negates in the calculation all the adventures that come from the booze.--Tyramon 11:30, 2 September 2008 (CDT)
- You're wrong (j/k), the stomach of steel stays with you once you beat the NS which one would assume to have done at level 15 (the level some of the items require). And once you break the crystal you are allowed to drink booze even during a teetotaler run. --Uzziah 17:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
In a fit of insanity I accidentally thought gaiters were an accessory (which they should be, wtf at something that goes on ankles being pants) and should be the third accessory in villa. Sorry. --Deathless Assassin 05:33, 19 February 2008 (CST)
Ascenders real value
Shouldnt ascenders get access to Plexiglass pocketwatch and Stainless steel solitaire at the same time? Also, they are allowed to have Moxie moon signed or BM runs, or have permed Torso Awaregness, right? So, the total extra adventures for Ascenders should be +34 not +29.
Also in the Notes part, Vivala mask article says that you can get only 10 adventures bonus per day, not 15. -- regelus|Talk 13:36, 19 April 2008 (CDT)
General Sage's Club Jacket
I'm thinking of moving the General Sage's Lonely Diamonds Club Jacket to Ascender from Villa. I'm sure someone who ascended a couple of times could find one, and they're not that expensive in the mall.--JohnAnon 17:42, 23 July 2008 (CDT)
I got one after only 1 Ascension.
--Tamergrue 03:33, 8 August 2008 (CDT)
Clans
How come Apathetic Lizardmen can't be in a clan with good stuff? It's fairly simple to apply to a clan. Also, Pagodas are easy to obtain. You only need to borrow a few items once you finish the Lv6 quest. I managed to get one when I was an Apathetic Lizardman.--Larryboy 18:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
