Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Things You’ll Need:
- Computer with Internet Connection
- Kingdom of Loathing account
Step1
Play the game. There is no substitute for familiarity with the game, and you will find that the more you play, the better you get, regardless of anything below. All the skills and items in the game are much more useful if you know what to do with them.
Step2
Acquire permanent skills with speed in mind. Every time you ascend, you get a skill which will speed future runs. But if you want to go faster, focus on skills which give you extra adventures (food/drink skills), or help you finish quests faster (item finding and combat percentages).
Step3
Stats are king. There are many useful familiars that do all sorts of things, but a volleyball (or purchased volley-combo) is your best friend for the first few levels.
Step4
Choose your quests wisely. Early in the game, there are many quests. But half of them are optional, and you'll go much faster if you don't waste too much time on low stat-gain adventures.
Step5
Focus on stats up until level 11. Once you hit level 11, stats shouldn't be a problem, so you'll likely want to switch to item-finding for the duration of your questing.
Step6
If you are neither in your first run nor in hardcore, you can pull good food and booze for extra adventures, equipment to make you invincible in combat, and even some items required for quests.
