Moon sign

From TheKolWiki

Once you ascend, you have to choose a moon sign. There are signs for each of the three stat classes and they all cause individual, minor changes to gameplay. Your choice is not limited to the class you choose to play as (for example, you can be a Seal Clubber while having a Mysticality sign). In total, there are nine signs to choose from (plus a tenth that can be unlocked):

Notes

• The usefulness of certain sign benefits may vary for characters following certain paths; for example the Blender is less useful if you are a Teetotaler or Oxygenarian.
• The ability to access a sign-specific area only lasts for the current Ascension. Choosing a sign that unlocks a different area will close off the previously available area.
• The 10% bonus to stat gains is always rounded up.
• Apparently, the cause of all the astrological signs being transformations of each other is that all the signs are the same -- the character is just facing different directions when ascending.
• Bad Moon is only available in Hardcore, unlocked by completing a Hardcore run without using any ten-leaf clovers. In Bad Moon, you cannot access any items or familiars from prior ascensions until the king is freed. Enables adventures exclusive to this sign in various areas.

History

• Prior to May 17, 2011, the moon signs all had different effects (only the zone unlocks remained unchanged). Here is a list of the old effects:
