Soo… my last post on here was talking about my Hobopolis adventures, and the desire to fill up my Hobo code binder. Well… I didn’t do that. I did score a sweet Ol’ Scratch’s Infernal Pitchfork, so that was good but I didn’t end up filling up my code binder right away. In fact, as of now, the only codes I have are the two that I mentioned having before. I have not added even one more code to the binder. As a side note, the pitchfork that I have now, I can’t even see a situation that I’d use it, unless on a Seal Clubber aftercore-ness. But even so, it’s nice to have it, just for complete-ness sake.
Anyway… enough about the past. Let’s look out at the future. In more current news, I ascended again. I spent one more day down in Hobopolis hoping for loot (which I didn’t get due to a slight error in that particular run) and then dropped back through the gash. This time, I decided to do another TT Bad Moon run, though I can’t really figure out why. I figure that having another Brimstone Bunker to play with in the next ascension should be a good thing, right?
I think my plan for ascensions right now is to follow the current TT BM run with another TT HCB run. The fact that I’ll be running boozetafarian will matter some, but not much, due to the fact that I still haven’t figured out how to use food properly in HC anyway. This way, I’ll get some benefit for being lame with food, right? Especially since I don’t currently have any PM skills for food (Or Sauce skills, for that matter) I may as well do it. So, with that in mind, I plan on perming Shieldbutt this time around, with Sympathy being the next one.
Anyway… here’s a shot at TT BM and I hope that things are able to go well with it. I hit the war yesterday and found myself hitting a brick wall for a bit, because I couldn’t figure out how to adventure there more than once or twice before either being Beaten Up or having no hp and having to herb to recover. However, I figured out something that is working for me at the moment. Right now, I’m running the following buffs: Temporary Lycanthropy, Ghostly Shell, Patience of the Tortoise, and Empathy. These, combined with the use of Shieldbutt, is enabling me to kill faster, building up the dimes from the war to buy restoratives from them instead of using spleen. It’s working much better than I expected and so I’ve finished two of the sidequests, and beaten up just 100 of the darn frat boys. (I way prefer the hippy side of things, by the way).
So here’s to a fast war and a TT BM run that ends on a lvl 13.
