...ok, well actually I did Gourdcore, then freed the king and then obtained most of those.
I have to say, for my first Hardcore Ascension, I think I went ok. I mean, I didn't have a fast run, but I thought it was fun having to farm for everything. Unfortunately luck was not on my side and I ended up with a broken wand, with no Barbed-wire fence (which I later needed and had to farm for) and no Furry pants.
Never-the-less, 70 days (roughly) was what it took me to get up to and beat the Naughty Sorceress. Another 30 or so days on top of that and I had finished Gourdcoring. I ran into a bit of trouble when I ran out of Meat with only 900 Drunkenness but thanks to some kind chatters and a bit of selling off things at reduced prices, I pulled through and earnt me another trophy :D
...if I was smarter I would have just ascended a few times until Smoky potions was the potion that gave me drunkeness. That would have cost me a lot less.
Oh well :P
