I'm guessing all it does is give that one message. If there is any more complexity to this, it may take a while to surface.--[[User:Tombot|Tombot]] 16:38, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

My guess is that this item is related to the recently-discovered [[On Pins and Needles]] effect. Perhaps using it causes a random other player (Non-Ronin etc.) to receive said effect? --[[User:Cait|Cait]] 21:11, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I appear to be the only person with the recipe at the moment.  I think you are right about the effect - it appears to be random - it doesn't seem to focus on clanmates or people on my friends list as far as I can tell.  You can only use one a day though so it is difficult to spade. I'm snig (minus the wiki bit)--[[User:Highbulpwiki|Highbulpwiki]] 21:28, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
*You could make a bunch and sell them on kbay. Lots of mysterious presents being sold, at least the ones that don't have a very high minimum bid. (If I were doing it, I'd set minimum bid to the cost of making the item.) --{{User:Club/sig}} 16:14, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Is this item consumed upon use? --[[User:Turing|Turing]] 02:46, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
*Apparently not, at least, that's what the notes say...though I don't know the recipe myself.  --[[User:Jimfromtx|Jimfromtx]] 04:11, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
**Confirmed, it is *not* consumed upon use.  --[[User:Jimfromtx|Jimfromtx]] 20:00, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Speculation: This like the time's arrow and bricks do not assist the user. So expect they are a free pull in Ronin, HC and BM.  Maybe this should go in free pull talk? --[[User:MadonKody|MadonKody]] 23:24, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
* TIL the all free pull are labeled as such in their description. so another beautiful theory destroyed by hard reality. --[[User:MadonKody|MadonKody]] 16:45, 25 April 2011 (UTC)  

I just used mine today and it seems I've given ''myself'' 20 turns of [[On Pins and Needles]]. --[[User:Kay Dekker|Kay Dekker]] 22:39, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
*I'm thinking of {{plural|sack lunch}} and wondering if it happens shortly after taking a shower. In other words, is the recipient the most recent person to have taken a shower or a particular type of shower? You might be in a good position to answer. --{{User:Club/sig}} 05:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
**Ah, I didn't see this until I'd had my shower and used my doll today, with some 30-odd turns between them. I didn't get jabbed today. I've only (apart from the first day) been taking Hot showers. I'll try jabbing just after I've showered tomorrow and report back. --[[User:Kay Dekker|Kay Dekker]] 16:24, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
**Today, (Hot) Shower immediately followed by use of doll - no effect on me. So I much doubt it's the most recent person to have had a hot shower who gets poked. Any other things you'd like me to try? --[[User:Kay Dekker|Kay Dekker]] 15:02, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
**I hope it's not bad form to say this - feel free to ignore or delete if it is - but if people are wanting to spade this and don't have the recipe, I'm selling a small quantity of the dolls in my mall store. --[[User:Kay Dekker|Kay Dekker]] 15:06, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
**Well, one of my multis used a voodoo doll from the mall and instantly got On Pins and Needles. The curious thing there is this multi doesn't have a VIP lounge key, so no possibility of it being [[April Shower]] related. Not ruled out is it being [[The Haunted Bathroom|Haunted Bathroom]] related. Most recent clannie to have adventured there?  That is were the hair comes from, after all. --{{User:Club/sig}} 19:17, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
***Tried that today. Adventured in the Bathroom, fought and beat a Hair Clog and got the Gob drop, used my Doll immediately after, and... no effect on me. I don't think anyone else from my clan was about at the time, so it seems that the effect isn't simply linked to recency of either Bathroom use or Hair Clog combat. Sorry :( --[[User:Kay Dekker|Kay Dekker]] 16:04, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
****Yeah, I tried it, too, also without success. Wonder if it is just random among your clan? --{{User:Club/sig}} 19:18, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
**Further update: two players in the same clan used the doll and both effected the same single player. --{{User:Club/sig}} 18:09, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
***Do you get a special message when you get hit with the effect?  --[[User:Flargen|Flargen]] 18:46, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
****It's the same message as the effect description, and shows up under [[review recent events]] if you want to go back and reread it. --{{User:Club/sig}} 19:25, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Apparently HC cannot receive the buff, so I am assuming that being in Ronin cannot either. This is how i tested:
I joined my friend's clan. He is in HC and is the only person in his clan. I (not in HC) used the doll, but neither of us received the effect. Hence, I am 99% sure that HC players cannot receive the buff. Yay, conclusion? --[[User:Xiexingwu|Xiexingwu]] 07:49, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm in a small clan (2 members neither of whom are in HC or Ronin) and using the doll gives neither players the On Pins and Needles effect. It is not clan related. --[[User:Sir Ike|Sir Ike]] 23:09, 1 May 2011 (UTC)


I got the effect in Bad Moon and I've only been in the haunted bathroom for a couple of adventures this run and it wasn't  recently. I don't know if I got a shower adventure, but I remember fighting a bath tube.
