every 30 minutes forever unless you pay. then it's every 60 minutes forever. constantly validating your humanity.
this is actually one of the better botchecks in the genre, weirdly enough.

The botcheck is to make sure you aren't botting the 30 minute continue button. The genre evolved them when people just set up auto clickers to click "repeat last action". This turned into once every 5/10 minutes and just building the auto repeat into the game. Then they added bot checks because people just botted the 5/10 minute check.

If you are having trouble with the checks they are an image map not a grid. The idiot that coded it didn't even do a good job tracing the outline. You have to click inside the border of the image for it to register some of the sets are off by a bit. Try and click center. If you are using a touch device have fun, because it's going to register wherever your finger touches first as where you clicked, which is going to be outside the tiny rear end icon.

Is the guide in the OP still current? Are the "Blue" set items the Light Blue ones, or one of the other Blue variants?

This post is way better and up to date:

Colin Mockery posted:

Starting Gear Set for Newbies
Everything should be in the "Gear" storage in Aeon Bay (in Cadenberge Territory)

RD = Random Drop
DD = Double Drop
Superior: the item name is pink

Head: Headless Horseman's Hat (-5 min timer, -100% RD), Dazzling Festive Hat (+100% RD)
Neck: Scarecrow's Scarf (+1 to all item sets)
Torso: Superior Blue/Yellow/Red Sea Silk Shirt*
Hands: Superior Blue/Yellow/Red Sea Silk Gloves*
Legs: Superior Blue/Yellow/Red Sea Silk Pants*
Feet: Dazzling Festive Boots (+10% DD)
Left Hand: the relevant tool for the skill you're training; you can only equip the weakest tools to start with
Right Hand: Superior Basic Spellbook (+1 mana regen, requires level 5 magic**)
Left Bracelet: Gingerbread Bracelet
Right Bracelet: Nothing (you can't equip anything in this slot yet :( )
Amulet: Gingerbread Pendant (+15 max mana, really useful early on)
Ring: Gingerbread Ring (-2 timer)
Accessory: Superior Abounding Horn of Plenty (-4 timer, some DD)


*: Craftable Clothing
For general use, if you have the scarecrow's scarf, wearing 1 of each superior sea silk primary color will give you -6 timer, +90% RD, +18% DD, and +18% success. That's good enough if you're lazy and don't care.

A superior piece of clothing is worth +2 to the item set, which gives you a total of +3 if you have the scarf equipped.

For advanced use, if you want to fully maximize one stat, you will want the superior primary T3 (Sea Silk, 18%) + the normal mixed-color T3 (Sea Silk, 9%) + the superior primary T2 (Qivuit, 12%). That'll give you a total of +39% (or 195% RD) of your desired stat.

Blue = RD
Yellow = DD
Red = Success

Orange = Success
Green = DD
Purple = RD



**: MAGIC
Train your magic. Follow the magic guide in the OP. It is very important to get to 5 magic so you can equip the spellbook, which doubles your mana regen.


Starting Food for Newbies:
you will run out of carrying capacity before you manage to noticeably dent the guild's stockpile of food

There's lots of different foods that have similar effects but if you're not sure what to get, here's some sample foods for each category. You can also search by effect name in the top-right "Looking for something?" Search box and it will bring up a list of which foods have which effects and how much we have of each.

For mana, I think you won't get the regen if you're at max mana but still have the effect going, so don't eat too many at once.

Timer: cherry pie, pumpkin ale
RD: crab legs (50%), steamed shellfish (50%), lucky valentine card (200%),
DD: crab stuffed sturgeons, lobster tails, rose-scented candle
Success: glazed salmon, iris-scented candle, stuffed peppers
Mana: bottle of lightning (1/action), raw sea urchin (5/action), frog legs (5/action)

AYYYE DEEEEE DUBBALYOO DA-NYAAAAAH!
Bloody mary's mirror gives +2 regen with 0 requirements. They're far more valuable as spell duration equipment than as mana regen equipment though, but you could definitely use them to boost you from 1->5 magic faster...although you could probably dip into the lightning stash for that too.

Same idea for the wedding corsage. Technically usable as a replacement aurora with no requirement, but again far more valuable as part of a casting set. We also don't have a ton of either

They generally don't talk about us any more...but there really isn't much talking going on in worldchat in general.

The majority of world chat lately is mordaq (still) pretending to be a cat, and a person named No One being the target of hilarious wordplay.

Just looked it up, so you're looking at ~2 month still?
Edit: As the other guilds are making ~900k a month and we make ~1m, it'll take more like 90 weeks?

Yeah we're like ~2 years away at the current "the handful of us left just do whatever we feel like" pace.

If we actively pushed XP (pop boners for +xp%, max out double drop % and do alchemy/carpentry/cooking/smithing/tailoring for double xp on double drops) we'd cut into that significantly. When I was on a cooking surge I was pulling....I want to say around 250k guild XP a day? 170xp for shrimp gumbo, x2 for double drops, x1.66 for boner point bonus, x4 actions per minute, x30 minutes per botcheck (lol paying grumpy any more at this point)...68k per botcheck, /4 for 17,000 guild xp per botcheck. Depends how many botchecks a day I hit.

It requires some setup but a megapush is certainly doable if there's interest.

World chat is currently "arguing" flat earth re: weather patterns. I can't tell who's being ironic and who's just an idiot. :amar:

Yeah I hate 30m timers so I know I'd cave and just buy it because it's cheap as poo poo, and I cant give that guy money. If you can do it without giving him money he runs about 5 servers and you are costing him a lot, so please keep mashing bot checks and racking up server bills.

The game itself is pretty solid, almost every single goon that has stopped playing was because of the devs lovely opinions.

I got banned during my yearly visit (idk why but don't look) and can't write messages in world or guild any more (You got banned), but otherwise my interface seems fine and I can take stuff out of the guild storage and travel. Just filled a bota bag. And I can read world and guild as well. Strange ban.

You don't show up in the guild member log any more either. Or the player search. Or the high scores board.
