This one's FULL of divergences. First of all, the Beach starts out unlocked. The Campground is completely inaccessible. Ed learns skills from a chamber in the Pyramid (which is no longer an adventure area, but rather your base of operations). Familiars are unusable. Spleen is limited to 5. There's this place you can go from the Pyramid called the underworld. Haven't tried going there yet, but the game warns you that returning from it costs 1 Adventure. Oh yeah, and your avatar is that of Ed the Undying. This is what I've found so far.
 
So it seems you start with 5 spleen, 0 stomach and 0 liver capacity. You upgrade these things in the Underworld, by spending Ka coins. The Underworld is also Ed's way of healing himself. "Normal" healers, including Chateau Mantegna, give no HP. MP gains work as normal.
 
That "Staff of Ed" that you start with has the same name (but different item id of course) as the other Staff of Ed. This is considered acceptable on KoL's end now...
 
Mainstat mysticality, special "familiars", curse of heredity is -ML for that phylum (reset on ascension). Summon Love Mosquito turns into Summon Love Scarab, which does damage (group multiplier? something?) and restores MP.

Falling in combat shunts you to the underworld (which in turn fully heals you); you can rejoin the same combat for free twice, but on every third attempt, you need to spend a ka coin. Bodyshop sells passive skills, Everything Under the World sells various items. These all cost ka coins.

Some spading requests (I've not even spent a turn yet!):
Curse of Heredity - does it reduce stats from +ML. Can more than one phylum be affected at once? Will need to track it.
Curse of Fortune - Need success message(s).
Curse of Vacation - Need success message(s), is it turn free?
Curse of Stench - is it Olfaction exactly?
Gift of the Cat - how much +item
Gift of the Dancer - how much MP regen
Gift of the Maid - how much +meat
Gift of the Bodyguard - how much damage absorb
Gift of the Scribe - how much +myst exp
Gift of the Priest - how much spell damage
Gift of the Assassin - how much physical and critical hit %
Verify costs of 2nd and 3rd Elemental Ward skills

We're going to have to handle making the mistake of logging off in the Underworld, as logging on in it isn't handled well (got stuck in a loop repeating "Seeing what's still unrestricted today..." in CLI)

Also, Ed can adventure drunk

And servants

I guess we can get around a lot of the equipment related issues just making it a weapon that only KoLCharacter.isEd() can equip ? Or do we have deeper item identification issues than matching modifiers/equipment ?
 
I tried to maximize Myst in a normal run with r15419. Maximizer suggested "Staff of Ed" but gave me an error when i tried to equip it. I untinkered it (since you can't closet it) and maximizer suggested something else. But either this has been addressed since r15419 or there may be deeper identification issues.
 
place.php?whichplace=edbase

... is Ed's Pyramid.

place.php?whichplace=edbase&action=edbase_start

... is where you are sent when you reincarnate.

Code: 
Encounter: Actually Ed the Undying
Took choice 1046/1: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1046&option=1
This is the choice adventure with a single option that you see when you start a new run.
 
Everything in concoctions.txt is done only by name, so mafia thinks it's crafting the new staff (see 15424 for a band-aid fix to remove generating a debug log). Maybe itemIds can be used there, and we can stop printing warnings when scripts use ints instead of strings for items/etc, and that would be enough? There's probably more to handle than that though.
 
For what it's worth, Mafia has a somewhat bigger problem...

I'm not seeing the problem here...
 
Not 100% sure, as I haven't looked at the code, but if we recognise acquiring an item by ItemID or DescID then we might be able to just call it "Ed's Staff of Ed" in items.txt, modifiers.txt and equipment.txt.
 
Ed gets a new lovebug ability:

<option value="7248" picurl="lb_scarab" >Summon Love Scarabs (0 Mojo Points)</option>

Also, there's no need for a 100% familiar check on this path.

Summon Love Scarabs REPLACES Summon Love Mosquito, in case that matters.
 
The compact sidepane should have your current servant and should let you switch among your currently revived ones. I guess that will require knowing which ones you've called back.

Like all Avatar paths, there's a lot of work to do for this.
 
FYI - r15430 - HCO AT - (a) didn't create Staff of Ed automatically when last piece acquired from ancient protector spirit; (b) maximize MP tried to equip Staff of Ed, failed:

Code: 
Wielding Staff of Ed...
You don't have the item you're trying to equip.

The staff is listed in the gear changer as a weapon as well. Attempting to change gear results in the same message, of course.

I put this here since it's pretty clearly associated with the new content implementation - not bug material yet? Or should it be separate since it affects old content?
 
It's tied into the r15424 band-aid fix for two Staves of Ed, as mentioned in the posts above. Hopefully it will be fixed at some point.
