Ascension Speed Show

Our first guest is Violetinsane, a prominent and celebrated PvPer. She will be discussing how to approach PvP optimally and also how to maximize your swagger in PvP.

Our second guest will once again be KoL developer Yojimbos_law! "Slaw" will be telling us how he approached the massive amount of spading data for The Battlefield, and what this means for speed ascension. Expect leaks of some top secret tips and strategies that we've been devising.

Slaw gives us the wriggly and slimy of Tentacore; how to be bleeding-edge optimal in Softcore runs by extensively using the effect known as "Eldritch Attunement"!

The Battlefield spading data can be found here!

Aenimus (#2273519) Lyft (#3045223)

Special thanks to Quinton_Flynn for help with guest audio track sound engineering.

Apologies for the postponed episode; it's been a hectic few weeks for both Lyft and Aenimus, but we're glad to be back! We're joined by speedster and Kingdom of Loathing Developer* yojimbos_law.

*technically a beta-tester, because CDMoyer still has a restraining order against one or more of us :)

Slaw, as he will henceforth be affectionately nicknamed, will talk to us about the Non-Combat and Combat queue! Slaw understands the queue and how to manipulate it better than most anyone in the kingdom and is here to share the answers to the following questions (and more):

• How likely am I to see X encounter?

• Why do I see X encounter more/less than X encounter?

• When should/shouldn't I use a banish?

• Should I always skip useless NCs?

• How does olfaction work?

Please note Slaw can't give out information that is not currently public. No leaks. Maybe some leeks.
