Yeah, I've never made it past the nob goblin king sinse you need to be
wearing the harem outfit to fight him, and even beafing up with what
boosting food, drinks and other effects i could find wasn't doing the trick.
I wouldn't have minded too much if I could've taken my own time to go and
explore and find a way to beat him, but getting constantly pounded for
literally several days was rather disheartening at the very least.
Trading just doesn't interest me, and while I don't mind chatting in a game,
I'd much rather be exploring or adventuring, ----- sinse afterall, I can
chat to people all I want at other times.
I suppose I'm just the lone adventurer type of person, ---- lol!
Beware the Grue!

Its hard, no question. Especailly if you don't feel like spending your 40
adventures per day grinding equipment. When you get up into the later
enemies, things start being able to one or 2 shot you, and a lot of the
bosses become nearly impossible. I'm determined to complete this hardcore
run though, its obviously not impossible, but I can see the one shot stuff
being rather offputting to newbies.

when I started out, I didn't use any rares at all. And it wasn't too
difficult. You do have weak equipment when you first play, but you get
better stuff later on. Dark, I really suggest you check out the wiki.
anything you'd ever want to know about the game is documented there.

Hmmmm, are the Mr. Accesseries really that powerful?
I'm not above making a donation if it will increase my enjoyment of the
game and make things less frustrating.
in fact, I was also rather tempted by the KoL statue set, ---- sinse I
have a large collection flat of fantasy and mythological statues in my
flat, (including my Lotr chess set).
My problem with the adventure cap, is that it just seems to make
accomplishments less worthy.
If i take up one of those collection expeditions, ---- such as for the
Bounty hunter hunter or the pixel man in the shack near the forest, I go
out and do a bit of combat grinding for some items which perhaps takes a
hole day's worth of adventures.
then I get back, and get rewarded with a 1 adventure stat booster or
some food which gives 10 extra ats.
Even if the game started out as a casual play, ---- the cap on advss
just makes it frustrating for me to play it this way now.
I wouldn't mind too much if the 200 adv cap was lifted, and so you could
actually use food or booze to build up a store of advs, ----- but the
way things are, you just don't seem to get enough bang for your booze as
you might say.
It's actually a compliment to the devs that a casual game has such a lot
to offer, ---- though it practically makes things a tad frustrating.
Beware the Grue!

The problem with discovering powerful items and such on your own is
that there really aren't any in the plot itself, all the ones worth
having are either obtained as items of the month, ultrarares, which
aren't just a really rare item drop but have a lot of backing mechanics
to ensure they won't flood the market, and ascention rewards for things
like playing through hardcore mode. It's a really tough game, and
honestly I'm not sure how to tell someone to get started as a newbie
since I've never played through a run without Mr. Accessories or other
stat boosting gear to help. I'm trying a hardcore run right now, and
having a lot of trouble with it since I can't use said power items and
have to rely on the equipment I pick up in game. Its more than a
difficult game, especially given its limitations on adventures. Really
I'm not sure what to tell you on the daily adventures thing, since the
cap for built up adventures is 200, and the only way to go over that in
any way is to eat food or drink booze, which gives you turns over that
cap but said turns disappear at nightly rollover. Unlike warriors2, its
not a game meant to allow you to play through at your leasure, its kind
of a daily game you spend 5 minutes or so on, or let your turns build
up and play for an hour when you feel like it. More of a casual game
than a game to really get quests done or explore dungeons.

When I played before, people were kind enough to lend me even some
slightly good items and amounts of meet, ----- in fact I found KoL's
player base on average to be a fairly nice bunch.
Generally though, I'd much prefer advice over powerful items, sinse I
do like the discovery of such things myself.
The food and booze system for extra adventures has always struck me as
mildly unfair, sinse I find myself spending large amounts of currency
for any given food or booze item, which doesn't then get recooped in
my adventuring, ---- so I'm always in fact opperating at a loss.
If KoL had a donation system similar to Warriors 2, where donating to
the game could give extra dayly adventures I'd probably have been much
more inclined to persist with it.
