“I think I should take Botanya and Ix. That gives us two possible ways to deal with plant creatures. Aaand I’ll take Kamau to round out the team.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
“Let’s see what else I can do to help you get ready.”
You can now buy and sell items, order renovations, and assign pets.




A new renovation, the Drider Refuge, is now available.
There are a good number of mushrooms missing from this image. Very sus…

Some explanations:
Ricki will get item pressed venom blade.
Lots of consumables to use early to free up space.
Midas gloves are our allowance for paws if we need to restock on gear.
Botania’s debuff aura is room wide so she doesn’t need to get close to enemies. Gave her def rings as a precaution. Will equip shield when done item pressing.
Garden gloves may have an additional use in this dungeon like they did in farm. We can ditch them if we don’t need them.
Toaster is here to negate flying enemies dodge chance when Ix goes ranged.
Ix in fire form only has 8 encumbrance, no?
Yeah, I think 10 is ice form.
@Claudious Weight we can save to fix:
Downgrade crab to chain(also making sure Ix can wear, dunno if crab burns).
Dont buy pipes. Its like FIVE actions to stop one attack and not even close to reliable. In fact, I’d feel better with a big healing potion in its place even if we didn’t need to cut weight.
Dont get shield for Botanya. Even ranged attackers are already mostly ignored and Botanya is not even fighting at all.
Really? 8 enc in fire form? Darn. I will repost with some of the suggestions. I cannot edit.
Shield was for insurance. I don’t want a patrol or a movement mistake to cost us remorse. We can always drop if we don’t end up using.
Do we know what items count as being ‘mostly metal’ for the sake of Ix’s loadout? Some of them are fairly self-explanatory based on visuals alone, but my concern is stuff like the Crab Plate or especially the Shocktail Javelin since it explicitly says it ‘regrows’. The atlatl is also wooden as far as I can tell, but it’s not really ‘worn’ or ‘wielded’ so I’m not sure what the ruling would be there.
idk about crab, but I remember LSN said shocktail is ok on stream.
non-metal stuff can be carried just fine. Fire Ix carried mitts he cant equip at the end of his dungeon.
Interesting; I’m guessing that if Shocktail is fine, then Crab Plate probably is too. Good to know!
Crab would be a maybe but shock tail was confirmed fine. Atatl just needs to be carried according to the wording so it should be fine. Downgrading chain seems like a good solution
I dont think Hearty meal is a good idea with Kamau’s remorse, he’s the only one that can take damage anyway so its just 2 hp instead of 8.
If you really want more hp for Kamau, we can buy a ultimate healing pot or a stack of steaks instead since my reply under Darus saves 3 slots when we need to free only 2.
Or maybe bring the spider jewel? I remember self-damage like cigs dont count for remorse so its kinda like theres no downside.
That’s a good point.
However, it could save lives if, heaven forbid, we remorse Kamau by accident and everyone else needs to carry on.
FIX IX’s Enc was wrong. Moved lenses around. Downgraded Crab plate to Chain. Removed Pipes

Why not scorpion glands instead of spider for more damage? Doesn’t look like we’re trying to save money xD
Btw, this sell list ends with .5 wasted for like no reason since we are still leaving gold at manor. Can pair the chain sold with something else with odd price next dungeon to get a whole gp.
We have spider glands. Would have to buy scorpion ones. If we need more glads we can buy from paws mid dungeon
“Pet: cordy5” There is neither cordy5 nor Mushroom 5. You wanted to write Mushroom 45, right?
We’ve been calling Mushroom 45 “Cordy5” for a few months now
To expand on that: it’s a Will Save World For Gold reference, as is Cordy5’s unique appearance.
With DriderRefuge we’ll end up having 22 stars. S-class hotel!
Do we know what those stars are/do/etc?
No idea what they do, but we’ve been told we want to get as many as we can
