KOL update

[yendi]

Killed the NS. Took two attempts, since I realized I'd forgotten to build the stupid wand way too late. :-) She's dead, and I'm ready to ascend. That finishes three of the six classes (Accordion Thief, Disco Bandit, Seal Clubber)

The big question: Do I put myself through the hell of one of the Mystically classes next, or do I enjoy a comparatively easy Turtle Tamer run?

Or do you take a month off to be able to enjoy the holiday content without worrying about leveling up?

[yendi]

I considered that, but I'd like to avoid doing another HC run without clovers/epic weapons/access to the Fun House.

I'm confused, how would doing the holiday content interfere with that?

[yendi]

Ah -- I misread what you'd suggested as going on a non-Blood Moon run, which would cause that to happen. I could just stay in my current state, but given the lack of access to my HC permed skills or Hangks, I'm not sure I'd enjoy that too much. It'd be too tough to work on Level 30/Basement stuff, and I don't think there's going to be that much Crimbo content that soon.

Bacon nog!

Don't ask me. I haven't played my Disco Bandit in ages, and I just realized it was because the level of Guide Dang It in KOL was a bit high for my tastes.

[yendi]

I found that most of the GDI in KOL was on the unnecessary stuff (or the stuff for speed players), with a few exceptions. That said, I'd be lying if I pretended not to take the Wiki route out of sheer laziness.

I never find Pastamancer a particularly difficult class to play. In fact, that seems to be the default for me these days after Seal Clubber. Entangling noodles rock.

On the other hand, I haven't been playing lately and I've never done anything more difficult than regular hardcore.

[yendi]

In Bad Moon, though, I won't have access to any of my HC permed skills, which means I'll likely be hemorrhaging meat on spells. That said, at least I'll have easy access to elemental spell damage for the first time in ages (I relied on my Baby Gravy Fair using an Ant Rake to get through the Hidden City one this run).

Sauceror run is hard, but not too hard. Killing the NS was a total bitch tho.

My Pastamancer run is very hard. Plus, I'm taking my time, so it is taking forever.

I say go TT so you can enjoy Crimbo!

If it were not for Crimbo, I'd say do pasta next to get it out of the way, but you're probably looking at 20ish days of that, which may be more than you want right now. Consider sauce - it's still a pain to get started, but the 90 turns/day of serum of sarcasm starting at level 7ish make everything from there to the NS trivial. NS is still a pain, but at that point it's not that big a deal. TT should be saved for last because it's the most fun non-moxie bad moon, plus if you want to do a post-BM run that exploits awesome brimstone, the bunker is much better for that than either of the myst brimstone items.

Personally, I am looking forward to doing hardcore no-path with a beret after I finish my last BM as AT. :-)

Having access to all my old skills and familiars is sure going to take a lot of getting used to, though.
