Maybe I just like items that give me tons of items. But it&#8217;s a really great item!<\/p>\n<p>First off, just as an equippable. There&#8217;s nothing else in the game that I&#8217;m aware of that gives you a percent boost to your spell damage. The closest thing in that slot is, what, the <a href=\"http:\/\/th.blandsauce.com\/wiki\/Enerbun_sphere\">Enerbun Sphere<\/a>? Which is only +20. At higher levels, the chest would be MUCH better. So that&#8217;s cool.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the main benefit are these combat items, and these are some pretty solid items. There&#8217;s a wide variety of just basic damage-dealers, but there are certainly some standouts. The <a href=\"http:\/\/th.blandsauce.com\/wiki\/Deja_voodoo_doll\">Deja Voodoo doll<\/a> 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/th.blandsauce.com\/wiki\/Red-eye_mind_trick\">Red-Eye Mind Trick<\/a> is equally game-changing, giving you a &#8220;free run away&#8221; mechanic, although it&#8217;s at the cost of a -items debuff. Still, it&#8217;ll be heavily used when the time comes to speedrun this game, I&#8217;m sure.<\/p>\n<p>The coolest thing about the items, though, is that many of them are usable on other players. I love this stuff! However, they&#8217;re much more &#8220;tricks&#8221; than &#8220;treats.&#8221; They actually inflict very minor debuffs. This is&#8230; an interesting way for the thing to go. Still, it&#8217;s perhaps cooler than, say, the <a href=\"http:\/\/kol.coldfront.net\/thekolwiki\/index.php\/Nerf%27d\">Nerf&#8217;d effect<\/a> in Kingdom of Loathing. It&#8217;ll make those who like to grief more happy that way. Me? I&#8217;m just happen there&#8217;s yet another <a href=\"http:\/\/th.blandsauce.com\/wiki\/Magic_deck_of_cards\">deck of cards<\/a> in the game. Can&#8217;t have too many cards!<\/p>\n<p>But yeah, I think this is an IoTM that I have little trouble in recommending. It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know, that title would make for an interesting striptease, I&#8217;d think.
