KOL: Bad Moon update

[yendi]

The Bad Moon run is going quite nicely. I lucked out and hit level 9 just as the Moxie days came around (and just as I killed the dragon), so I got tons of stats and am sitting at level 10 already. I'm still loving the new adventures, and I'm enjoying some of the challenges (although I don't doubt that I'll hate things once I have to backfarm to get familiars I missed).

Today ended in mild annoyance, alas. With five adventures left, I hit the Teleportitis adventure (deliberately), but ended up at the Tavern, where I got one of the good adventures (Knock Knock...), but ended up getting too drunk to finish adventuring. Ah, well.

Bad Moon is a good time. I actually made the seal clubber BM board with my first run, which ended a few days ago, despite not trying very hard. This suggests to me that clubbers can do better in BM than their board currently suggests. To be fair, I did not get any truly horrendous RNG screw, such as needing to get a goat. FWIW, if you've heard any nonsense about clubbers needing to level to 14 to be able to beat the NS, such reports are full of crap. It is, however, very helpful to spend pretty much all of your dimes/quarters from the war on poultices/garters. I imagine that's less of an issue for moxie classes, who probably have a greater need for damaging combat items (in that vein, don't forget that the elemental feathers from the dooks can inflict 100-120 elemental damage - might be good if you are concerned about killing the level 12 boss in under 30 rounds).

I almost always save the shore and daily dungeon until I've read the plus sign, as they are excellent ways to use up teleportitis turns.

Anyway, best of luck with the rest of your run!

I'm glad BM is going well.

I'd hoped more of our clan would try it out, too.
