Code: 
"class":"28"

was given a Combat skill but can't find the override text, i'll come back to it!

Code:

was given an item
Code: 
--------------------
11163    Advanced Pig Skinning    916925042    book2.gif    usable    q    0
# Advanced Pig Skinning
--------------------

Using the item takes you to choice #1495 "Get Some Training" where you can learn skills for meat

The three classes are muscle, myst, and moxie based. With your main stat determining your level. I'm the moxie based Jazz Agent and api.php says my class is 30. If they are sequential and in their normal order Pig Skinner would be 28 and Cheese Wizard is 29, which leaves no gap after Grey You.

Skills unlock as you gain levels. Jazz agent can buy skills with meat by using the Jazz Agent sheet music. You can walk away from the choice given by this item.

Bosses are replaced by their shadows and drop boss specific untradable cursed items so MCD settings don't matter. The first two have interesting effects and might be useful outside of this path. Yes, they have factoids. I'm betting it will take six runs to collect them all.

The two-headed shadow bat is monster #2283. Right after the last known world event shadow monster. If the world event has a boss, it was added after this path.

Attached is what I've harvested so far to keep tabs correct. You can get the info for all the skills in your class by clicking on all the icons even if you can't buy the skill yet.

Hmm. I just noticed that mafia didn't parse everything, so let me know if things are missing. For example, Grit Teeth heals 20 in combat. I'll be a Jazz Agent for a while.

One thing that would be useful: I hear "Knife in the Darkness" gives a 10% NC effect. If you could get the IDs for that it would be appreciated.

No wand is required. There is (I assume) a unique endboss (with two forms) for each class. You remain in your AoSOL class in aftercore.

So that's what the message about "hiding" means. In the darkness effect is attached.

Thanks for the additions. Mafia now gets my level right which is a big help. I noticed that 27204 doesn't know about Jazz Agent sheet music and cursed goblin cape.

I totally missed that these new boss items are foldable. So cool!

It looks like (wiki info but it's incomplete) the NS is replaced class dependently, so there might be 3 versions, so could be nine runs?

I think you are right. In the Shadows of Loathing game each class has its own nemesis. And Terrence Poindexter is specific to Jazz Agents.

Are there "points" for this path?

Do you gain any advantage from having completed a run (as a class) when doing a new run (as that same class or one of the other classes)?

Or is every single run completely independent of however many runs you have done previously in this class?

There doesn't seem to be a way to get cross-class skills. When I started my second Jazz Agent run, I got 2 skill points and could use them to get skills without needing to meet the level or meat requirements.

After completing a HC Pig-Skinner run I started a new one and had two skill points to spend. I going to assume that a SC run gets you one skill point.

One thing to note is that wearing the cursed goblin cape cancels out the bonus from the eXtreme Cold-Weather Gear. You can't get to the Icy Peak while wearing the cape.

OK. But are those skill points class specific?
If I do 3 Pig Skinner runs, I get skill points to spend in future Pig Skinner runs, at least.
If I then start as a Jazz Agent, do I start with skill points, or do I have to accumulate Jazz Agent skill points?

Yes, it appears so

I did my first run as HC Pig Skinner and started my second run as HC Jazz agent and didn't get any skill points, when I finish this one, probably tomorrow, I'll start my 3rd as Pig Skinner and expect to get 2 skill points

confirmed, no cross class skill points, dunno if something will change after doing one of each run or some other mechanic, personally I doubt it but i'm doing a second pig skinner now then will do a first run of the one I've not done yet

Trying to program a script to auto-buy a skill using points instead of meat and visit_url isn't selecting the points option. When I did debug trace on, it looked like it used this exact url. Am I missing something? Because there are 2 ways to acquire the skill (meat and points), does Mafia need specialized handling for the skill half of the purchase?
Debug Trace:
Code: 
1676773954636: Starting relay script: choice.ash

visit_url line I am using:

Crack Knuckles (the Cheese Wizard skill) can only be used once per fight. I have been informed by people I trust to know better than me about these things that Mafia is supposed to know about that somewhere, and doesn't.
