There is only one place where Disembodied Brains drop -- Fernswarthy's Tower. There, I said it.
Since we have some rank amateurs, some more unsolicited advice for 'em: * A Familiar is your best friend. The first thing any new player should save up and invest in is a Familiar-Gro Terrarium. Familiars are simply too useful to ignore, and some of them provide some fairly major benefits once they start to grow. As a nudge, the following four items will get you on the right track to the most useful familiars: * seal tooth (better stats) * ten-leaf clover (better meat drops) * fairy gravy (better item drops) * cocoa eggshell fragment (general combat aid) But all of them are useful in their own way. Try a few out. * Capitalism is good. Once you get access to the Flea Market (L3, I think) and the Mall (L5), you have access to _tons_ of items that you can't personally find or make yourself yet, and can view full item descriptions for them as well. Take full advantage of this. Now, there are lots of items that are priced through the roof, as the general state of the KoL economy is still goofy. However, when you're starting out, you can often find low-level food and drink that will help, as both can be hard to find in early stages. Browse through the Flea Market, check out what's for sale, and think about what you may have found that might be used to make some yourself. Likewise, if you can afford an equipment upgrade and have the stats to use it, don't be shy. You can always get more meat later, and that'll get you to the next area (where meat drops are often bigger) that much faster. * Don't push too hard. Like all RPGs, there is a certain degree of level-grinding to be expected in this game. You may get quests that you are physically unable to complete when you get them. If monsters in a new area are kicking your ass, hang out in easier areas and build your stats and/or equipment before trying again, or you'll spend half your time Beaten Up. Resting can be useful. Resting with something better than The Ground to rest on is better still. The evil opposite of cheese can be somewhat helpful in getting there. * Watch the moons. The moons affect you in strange and mysterious ways, particularly when one or the other is full or both are in the same phase. Oh, and I made a _Clockwork_ Maid today, twice as powerful as your puny Meat Maid, so nyahh. |

level five seems so far away and receding...I know it's just the effect of diggin the game and only having a finite number of turns to play. makes gorging on the game difficult... boo hoo for me. ... what, no sympathy? hmphf.

I really enjoy being stuck with 44 adventures per day on my main. I may be able to get that up to... 49, unless I'm missing something. I was getting sick of the game when I was burning through 200+ a day.

KEEP the brains! they are very useful! (as I'm sure you know..) I've built myself a meatmaid and am getting ready to build a chef in the box (after rollover).. yeah fernwarthys' and the cememtary are the only places I have found them thusfar...) and if you are looking for beer lenses (apparently pretty rare) the typical tavern.. although it's really easy to get drunk and lose your meat. . . . .

I succumbed.
My Disco Bandit, UnknownComic, is now at level 3. Guess I need to look into these clans... |

I wonder what the ethical considerations of using my current clan to get all buffed up and get a bunch of goodies, then jumping to the cellar clan are.
Was that a sentence?

You would be a looter. And looters make Baby Jesus cry.
