I was thinking about doing a quick sweep of 6 casual runs (1-dayers if that's not too expensive, but 2 days would be fine), to pickup the SC tattoos and the OCD trophy.

Anyone have a basic guide to the right things to eat/drink/spleen/wear? FoB stat foods, candy canes, bungles, or..

(You can assume I have access to normal softcore gear like jeks and stuff)

What's the standard way to gain levels in speed casual?

Thanks.

Quick and rough:

Use lots of gourds. Do a smidgen of questing. Buff mainstat to max out divines. Go hit up the knob shaft with lots of +C and a script that funkslings 29 rounds of divine levelers and then poppers out.(remember to add ml)(Also you remember off-stats for quest outfits).

If you go all out on consumables you might be able to just clover level. That would be a lot more work though. (What with paying attention to when you are leveling. With divines you just click go:D)

With a PYEC you can get a wand and zap your way through the lair. If you don't want a wand you need to eat 3 key lime pies. Which is a pain.

On GD there was a thread about someone doing 12 casuals in a day. He logged them. Handy as a guide. My search-fu is letting me down.

There's no way to guarantee that you can zap through the lair though.. right? Second zap is 50% to return the wrong key, so you're looking at (ballpark) a 15-20% chance of failure..

Thanks, though. Divines vs. miner makes sense. I have like 6000 of each flavor Smile

Ah yes, Boris's Ring isn't a quest item Smile Okay, PYEC it is.

I decided it wasn't worth the million+ meat to do this. Basically it's just all about poppering everything, and poppers go for around 5000 apiece right now.

Did use a bunch of divines for leveling though, thanks for the tip there. Got to level 12 on D1 and completed the Lighthouse (with spooky putty, heh.. though it still took 5 turns for my first combat, even running +25%)
