This is the con item. New correspondence in the form of the Xi Receiver Unit. Sends a daily transmission from planet Xi.

My very brief initial spading is that it gave me ~1.5*substat in Muscle & Moxie (my offstats) and I lost ~2*substat in Myst (after accounting for Vole/stat day). It also gave me 5 random effects at 20 turns each.

That item was already added in 14585, and mafia doesn't care about the stat gains or losses from it (since it doesn't use any organ space). Also, I suggest that anyone who does care about those stat changes should get a larger data set.

I'm sure that as soon as Darzil breaks the prism he intends to add xi as a new option to the eudora command, but I'm going to mention it here, just in case it somehow slips everyone's mind.

Also added in 14585, since I updated the pre-Valhalla page and it was required for there.

From what I understand, there is a new "shop" or something which lets you turn in ingredients to craft other items. Since there are multiple different things which get traded in, it will be a subclass of CreateItemRequest, like pixels, phineas, grandma seamonkey, etc., rather than a coinmaster, and the items will be entered as recipes into concoctions.txt.

How hard can it be? :)

(I wish I had waited 3 hours before ascending yesterday, so that I could have received and used the item neminem sent me. Or, so I assume, given that it is in the form of a plain brown wrapper in Hagnk's, at the moment.)

Heh, I found those in the mall, submitted them in revision 14606, and then came here to see this. ;)

I'd like to see the HTML that results when you read a holo-schematic to unlock a recipe.

You were totally on top of this. I should have waited a little longer and then not made the post. :(

There is sooooo much content in this item. It's a shame that it is probably not worth using during a run.

I swapped out my Gameinform Eudora item for this before starting my current run. I figured I might as well start accumulating the items - and since, for good or for ill, I've been pulling one each Boris/Jarlsburg/Sneaky Pete key-lime pie to eat on day one of my Normal Heavy Rain runs, I'm not missing the Gameinform dungeon as an alternative to the Daily Dungeon, so, why not?

(There may very well be a "why not", but since I don't even pretend to be a speed ascender, my response is "pbbbbbbbt" :))

Gameinform isn't good for the dungeon. It is good for early SGEEA. An early SGEEA is quite nice. When I was doing Sneaky Pete I also really liked the scroll of Protection from Bad Stuff to help me with A-Boo peak non-combats because he was so fragile and lacking in elemental resistance.

Anyway, I'm not losing very much by switching to my Xi Receiver. It's definitely amusing as heck and the other correspondence items are only slightly helpful. Although... once upon a time... the pen pal was really nice for a level 1 shield, back in the days before Master of the Surprising Fist helped to make Kung Fu Hustler awesome.

Pretty much all I do with the Gameinform is this:

Code: 
alias getkit => ashq item mag = $item[GameInformPowerDailyPro magazine]; item kit = $item[dungeoneering kit]; if(item_amount(mag) > 0) {visit_url("inv_use.php?pwd&whichitem=6174&confirm=Yep."); cli_execute("inv refresh"); adv1($location[Video Game Level 1], -1, ""); int x = available_amount(kit); if(x > 0) use(x, kit);} else print("You need another "+mag+" to get another "+kit, "red");

I also swapped to it, and was pleasantly surprised to get the item that gives +10% item and lets you find the materials on day one of hardcore.

I've got a question. Had you previously used a transmission from planet Xi? Was that your first? I suspect the answer is no, but I want to check because that was the first item I got when I used a transmission.

The answer is no. It was the third item I got (holo-training sim, 5d printer in previous aftercore). Have had two holo-training sims since.
