#1 Need a new way to rest.

Post by Soontir948 »

Sleeping in the campground is getting lame as I gain more max hp, the more useless it gets. Do I have to start drinking potions to replenish or is there a place where I can get more points back?

Right now I'm mostly depending on my Cocoabo to heal me up. Unfortunately this happens randomly and not as often as I'd like.

Spoilers for the Pagoda quest

That's the best solution outside of chemical alternatives. Of the chemical solutions, I favor Phonics Down.

As you advance in level, resting in the campground gets less odious because you have so many friggin' adventures it isn't even funny. (I'm up to about a hundred and seventy a day now, and I could get more if I was willing to shell out for Bodyslams.)

That comes from the higher grades of booze and food. Speaking of which, I dumped a raft of Ducha De Oros and Calle De Mios in the clan stash. They're pricey on karma, but well worth it. I forget which does what, but one is good for Moxie and the other for Mysticality.

I'm level 5 and getting 48 adventures per day right now (40 + 3 calendar +1 dead guy's watch +4 meat maid), plus about another 30 from food and booze (spooky mushrooms, rum, and miscellaneous others).

Having a tent or other shelter will really help. When I went from bare ground to a barskin tent, my HP gain went from 3 to 19 per rest.

Oh yes, definitely. Combine cottage cheese with anticheese to get a cottage ASAP.

The cottage really does help. Reduced my recovery time from 8 adventures to 3.

Also, when you get a lot of money (or if you're a seal clubber and can make one) get a Chrome weapon (sword, staff, or crossbow). Just have it equiped over the daily changeover to get 3 extra turns per day.

The Strange Leaflet quest will also help with healing.

I'll manufacture chrome weapons for anybody who supplies me the components.

I need one turn to go from empty to full. This is how, I'm a level 12 pastamancer, and I use a beanbag chair which restores 200 MP almost with a pagoda. With that, I can easilly cast 20MP for a full heal, or 6MP for mini heals. Compare that to a mere 75hp + 75mp I get from sleepign in a house.

Can you make me a chrome meat stack, oh great Seal Clubber? I'll stick a dense meat stack and some chrome ore in the clan stash.

Thanks!

Edit: I need it so I can make a shiny helmet turtle. Then once I get my moxie up a little bit, I can wear a shiny stats-boosting thing upon my turtle-taming pate.

Not a problem.

For future reference, anybody who needs the work done, just ship me the items and let me know what you want.

If you need help acquiring the items, I'm also open to springing for components if necessary, depending on the cost.
