Kingdom of Loathing Ascension Plan
My personal ascension plan. I know it's not really optimal, so I don't recommend it to anyone else. Suggestions may be kmailed to Rogar7209
Ascensions Completed:

| SC |
SC |
Pulverize (P) |
Had no idea what I was doing. |
| SC |
DB |
Heart of Polyester (P) |
At this point I'd read about ascension rewards and ascension strategies and got religion for Hardcore. Permed HoP because I wanted to save the good skills for Hardcore. Somewhere in here I got Rainbow Gravitation (HP) for some reason. Maybe it'll be useful someday. |
| HC |
DB |
Superhuman Cocktailcrafting (HP) |
Bad Moon lead-in. Damn not having boxes. |
| BM |
DB |
Advanced Cocktailcrafting (HP) |

| BM |
SC |
Tongue of the Walrus (HP) |
Was going to get Pulverize, decided not to grind to Level 15 in BM. Turned out to be a good choice -- I’m dumb and get beat up a lot. In the middle of this run, the Black Cat was introduced. Like everyone else, I quickly figured out that the best classes for a BC run are DB and SC. Great timing. Oh, well, I'll stick an extra BM DB run on the end.... |
| BM |
TT |
Amphibian Sympathy (HP) |
The next few are your basic HC ascension survival skills. |

DB |
Ambidextrous Funkslinging (HP) |
Was supposed to be my Black Cat run. Yay, a whole week of wandering monsters... |

DB |
Disco Power Nap (HP) |
Black Cat run, finally. Wasn't much worse than regular BM, actually. |
| SC |
DB |
Disco Face Stab (P) |
Post-BM break. SC is lame. Back to HC... Began Lucre-ing in earnest. Got the outfit earlier, going for Olfaction and the puppy. About this time I got the Sticker Tome. So... |
| HC |
SC |
Double-Fisted Skull Smashing (HP) |
Yay Scratch 'n' Sniff offhand! Noticed I was burning a lot of meat healing myself, so moved Cocoon up on the perm list. |
| HC |
DB |
Powers of Observatiogn (HP) |
Thought I'd be farming for Crimbo. Ended up not doing it. Must...perm...skills.... |
| HC |
P |
Cannelloni Cocoon |
Total Healing Power. Should make healing Muscle classes easier. Decided to get a few more P skills while I was at it. |
| HC |
P |
Leash of Linguini (HP) |
Leash wasn't my original choice here, though it was going to be in the next few. Decided to change it when I stuck the AT ascension in next. Leash was the skill I most didn't want to be without as a Moxie class. |
| HC |
AT |
Magical Mojomuscular Melody (HP) |
Should make Day 1 easier for Myst classes. The synergy between cross-class skills is one of the cool things about KoL. |
| HC |
DB |

Now let's address the next ascension bottleneck: getting item drops. |
| HC |
AT |

Gonna need meat to pay for all those buffs. |

Longer-term plans
Keep ascending HC, Lucre-ing daily until Olfaction and Puppy are obtained. Finish "prep for Basement" skills listed above. Next, do Fernswarthy's Basement to get the telescope and all upgrades. Get Level 30 Trophies and check out the Shimmering Portal, Hobopolis and the Sea while I'm at it. Then ascend HCO to get Plexiglas outfit. Alternate BM and HCO so I can use Brimstone in HCO (thank you, Basement Cat).
