The Blogtastic Blogfest That Is Getmeoutofthis.net!

You know, that title would make for an interesting striptease, I’d think.

Marty Crouch’s Magic Chest is this month’s Twilight Heroes IoTM!
This is a really great item! Maybe I just like items that give me tons of items. But it’s a really great item!

First off, just as an equippable. There’s nothing else in the game that I’m aware of that gives you a percent boost to your spell damage. The closest thing in that slot is, what, the Enerbun Sphere? Which is only +20. At higher levels, the chest would be MUCH better. So that’s cool.

Of course, the main benefit are these combat items, and these are some pretty solid items. There’s a wide variety of just basic damage-dealers, but there are certainly some standouts. The Deja Voodoo doll is completely intense and game-changing in its ability to face the same monster twice in a row. It seems like anyone who was, for example, Ultra-rare hunting would need to have one of those in their inventory. The Red-Eye Mind Trick is equally game-changing, giving you a “free run away” mechanic, although it’s at the cost of a -items debuff. Still, it’ll be heavily used when the time comes to speedrun this game, I’m sure.

The coolest thing about the items, though, is that many of them are usable on other players. I love this stuff! However, they’re much more “tricks” than “treats.” They actually inflict very minor debuffs. This is… an interesting way for the thing to go. Still, it’s perhaps cooler than, say, the Nerf’d effect in Kingdom of Loathing. It’ll make those who like to grief more happy that way. Me? I’m just happen there’s yet another deck of cards in the game. Can’t have too many cards!

But yeah, I think this is an IoTM that I have little trouble in recommending. It’s effective and funny (a lot of the attack messages on the items? Great stuff.) and totally worth the investment, I think. Well, I mean, as long as you think investing in virtual items in a browser game is a good investment. I obviously do.
