The only thing left in standard that gave adv for spleen was astral after 2015 rotates & if they left it astral energy drink would be the only option for astral consumable. It's a good choice, if they're committed to the spleen is for strong potions thing.

I barely use spleen items in-run anyway but now I have 10000 twinkly wads that don't do anything I care about

In other news, as a weird video-game hoarder, interesting new IOTM mechanisms don't make up for the pain of seeing This item will disappear at the end of the day.

Technically the pikestaff is still good if rollover fights are your thing, and you're not ultra-rare rich.

Also, rip to anyone scripting HCCS runs. No blood drive stickers for you.

Thinking about it, I kind of don't mind removing it as a source of adventures, outside of making some of my off-season familiars totally useless. I think I might miss the actual adventures themselves though, so I wonder if they're gonna try and raise adventure gains by some other means.

Spleen items are universally garbage, though, is the problem. The stats are totally useless because of how many free fights you can get and the effects are almost always matched or beaten by potions, which don't have a cap.

They aren't changing any old familiars, it's only for universally available stuff still in standard (so twinkly wads, astral energy drinks, etc)

Ooh are we posting old-rear end poo poo? I got some of that.

Imagine doing oxy-core without any IOTM or adventure giving spleen items back then. It was pretty drat slow. But on the bright side it only took about half an hour per day.

Hi, I haven't played this in 5 or 6 years but I'd like to get back into it. From clicking and reading various things, I think I sort of have a grasp on what things are relevant to my situation. I'm level 14 on a "hardcore avatar of boris" run and if I go to the council they tell me this:

quote:

You still have unfinished business with the Trapper, Adventurer.

The Highland Lord, Black Angus, still needs your help, Adventurer.

Any luck getting your father's diary and recovering the Holy MacGuffin? It's a pretty important whatchamacallit, so we'd appreciate it if you'd get on that right away.

Hey, have you managed to start the war on the Mysterious Island yet? If you can't get them sufficiently worked up, try assassinating Franz Ferdinand. Historically, that tends to work.

By the way, we're sick of all these disasters. Holes in the sky. Tentacle beasts trying to eat our town? We're going to do something about this, you just wait.

Is it worth continuing to try and finish this run, or should I just ditch it and start fresh so I can re-learn the game?

e: I think this is a link to my player profile

The quest tracker on the left panel/ the quest log in your campsite should give you pretty good guidance on where to go to beat appropriate quests. Avatar of Boris is a special ascension path where you play as a non-standard class. It's still possible to win and ascend, but a few of the quests may take a little longer as you can't equip some of the things to help.

On the other hand, other than some Karma, it probably doesn't give you anything new or useful, so if you have the option of just jumping to vahalla and restarting, just going back to a Standard Hardcore, and seeing the new stuff at an appropriate level and all that might be more fun?

Hmm, fun sounds like it's where it's at. So I think I'll just do that then! I'm probably just going to confuse myself trying to play from the middle of this anyhow. Thanks :).
