Weirdness in the pyramids

[Elayne]

Hello,

I didn't know where else to ask this question except here, since this happened in the relay browser. I hope you don't mind me posting parts of the raw session log. I'll try to remove unnecessary information to keep it as short as possible.

use 1 tomb ratchet <--- was using a softcore guide, that said use a tomb ratchet so you wouldn't look for the wheel in the upper chamber.

[573] The Lower Chambers (Empty/Empty/Ed's Chamber) <--- at this point, I have 7 adventures left, so enough time for Ed.

[574] The Lower Chambers (Empty/Empty/Ed's Chamber) <--- Ed didnt show up. Relay browser said that I'd have to clear rocks, IIRC.

So I was wondering if it was a bug or if I was doing something wrong that I didn't get to fight Ed.

I expect it's a bug. I have never seen a tomb ratchet (and am not likely to ever see one, since I don't do Softcore), so we do not advance the pyramid position when you use one. Feel free to file a bug report over in the appropriate section of these forums.

I thought ratchets were faster than wheel turning once you have olfaction and a hound dog. That was before things like unicorn stickers existed, even. Of course, there are non-speed reasons for using the middle chamber, like getting the healing items and such, and probably other reasons I can't think of.

With olfaction and unicorn stickers I'm just rolling in ratchets. A hound dog is just extra gravy. You merely have to put the wheel in place before they'll start dropping. If you don't put the wheel in place you'll never see a ratchet.

I'll have to start using my stickers, I guess. I've got another 18 or HC 100% familiar runs to go, so the Hound Dog is only for Aftercore for me, at the moment.

I'll ascend after I do Arrrbor day, and I'll try out tomb rachets soon enough and see what I can figure out to integrate them with KoLmafia's support for the choice adventure.

As I said up there, it would be nice to have a bug report in the appropriate place to remind me...
