Right-hand pane, at the bottom, enter chat

Also, when you get up to level... 5 ? I think. Go to the league of the Chef-Magi in town. Buy the skill that lets you make Scrumptious Reagents (I forget the name...), and you can sell those for 50,000 each. You can make 3 per day and they cost 100 meat to make

And I thought I was pimping the market a few days ago!

How the hell did you make 7.5M meat in one day?!

Another newbie tip : Get a baby gravy fairy!

Adventure in the Haiku Dungeon until you get Fairy Gravy.
Adventure in Cobb's Knob until you get a Knob Mushroom (Adventure in the kitchens for the best chance to get this).

'Cook' the two together (Make sure you have an EZ Bake Oven in your campsite, or a Chef-in-a-box in your campsite). You'll get a pregnant mushroom. Put it in your Familiar-Gro Terrarium, and you get a Baby Gravy Fairy familiar!

The Baby Gravy Fairy will dance after each battle, increasing the chances that you'll get a rare item after the battle. Without a Gravy Fairy, I'd get 10 razor-sharp can lids per 100 turns. With a level 10 gravy fairy, I get over 15 per 100 turns. That's a 50% drop rate increase, and the fairy is only half-grown

Other good familiars that are easy to get :
Mosquito - Just 'use' a mosquito larvae. You get lots of these when adventuring in the Spooky Forest. It will occasionally drain the enemy's HP and give it to you

I'm Ryuuseigun, a level 7 Pastamancer. Just finished checking out the clan stuff...spiffy!

The keys for the Gate of Jarlsberg...where is it, what's it called, and can I buy it?

Also, anyone that's interested can find some new equipment and 15 each of the strength and moxie potions I just threw in the clan stash.

What classes get the stat increases from lids? If Pastamancer is one of them, where and how?

There's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive.

Turn in 5 of whatever item the captain of the gourd asks for at the gourd tower. For Muscle classes, it's Firecrackers. I think it's Spider Webs for Moxie, and Lids for Mysticality, but don't quote me on that - I'm not wholly certain.

For me to get through my 190ish turns, it would take me around an hour and a half. WAY too long.

You can buy them at the mall, they generally go for 40k or so.

You can also get them if you go through the Daily Dungeon, though you can only do the dungeon once, and there's no guarantee you'll get a key.

I was very, very lucky I got a Boris key my first time going through the dungeon. If I had gotten a non-key item, I probably would have ignored it, and never found out how nice donating to the statues is.

As a side note - I just put two Blood-Faced Volleyballs in the clan stash for those who lack a familiar.

For the muscle-bounded ones (Seal Clubbers, Turtle Tamers), there's a new dungeon in town. I think you need to be level 8 or 9 to adventure there. It's the huge > sign. If you adventure there until you get a +, then adventure until the oracle tells you ( for 1000 meat) to 'read' the +, you unlock the 'Dungeon of Doom'. Adventure there to get a fair amount of neat stuff... including a new familiar - a baby killer bee. Very nice as not only will it attack enemies for minor damage, but at the end of a fight it has a chance to boost the muscle EXP you get from that fight (At the cost of a single Health Point).

If you have a Grue familiar, today is the day to equip it!

Both moons are dark, so the grues hit for huge damage. My little level 1 grue is hitting for 20+ damage

To get the grue, you need to use the strange leaflet. If you want directions of what to do after you use it, look at the spoiler site I linked to in the original post on this thread.

Heh, get two evil golden arches from the fiends in the Dark Heart of the Woods in the Deep Fat Friar Copse in the Woods, combine then, then use the Evil Golden Arches to place it in your campsite. Now when at camp you can order evil food!

My first item: Lord of the Flies-Sized Fries.

These french fries appear to have been deep-fried in the boiling oil vats of Hell, itself. They're crispy on the outside, evil on the inside.

I hope I can get the Broodwitch to go with my fries. ^.^

Just be careful, most 'evil' food raises one stat and lowers another...

Grab a bunch of the Magical Mystery Juices at the League of the Chef-Magi, Naenae. It fully restores your MP, and costs like, 150 each. You can get 200 of them for 30k, which is how much you sell a single lid/web for

I just stuck a whole bunch of cocoa eggs in the clan stash. Each one becomes a familiar that can heal you, confuse the enemy, do some damage, or find extra meat on the battlefield (It's a play off of the Final Fantasy games - Cocoabo ).

All I require is that if you play the game regularly, you can grab one If you played the game a bit, then dropped it, please leave the egg for those who'll play it more often

You hit for 71 damage. CRITICAL HIT! SMACK! WHACK! SMACK!

LIMIT BREAK!

Fluffy paws at the ground for a second, and then charges your opponent, bashing it for 40 damage.


You win the fight!


Fluffy being my Cocoabo. Normally it hits for anywhere from 13 damage to 20 damage. I wonder if I can get a limit break on heals... right now he heals me for about 25 hp/mp. a 50 hp/mp heal would be nice

I can combine the Meat Stack and Tank to form a Full Meat Tank and the Rims and Tires to form Dope Tires, but the other parts won't combine with anything ;(

Combine a sprocket and spring, then combine the sprocket assembly with a cog. Combine the cog-and-sprocket assembly with the full meat tank to make a meat engine, then combine the engine with the tires to make a bitchin' meat car.
