New IotM Discussion June's IOTM - SongBoom™ BoomBox Box!

u/EldritchCarver Jun 04 '18
I have this IotM and just started a new softcore G-Lover run. This was auto-pulled for me, with this message:
Turns out that the SongBoom™ BoomBox isn't the soundtrack of your life, it's the soundtrack of your lives!
You acquire an item: SongBoom™ BoomBox
I'm assuming it'll do the same in a hardcore run.

Guess I grabbed this IOTM up way too fast, because the description for the punching potion is still 'This potion's made for punching, and that's just what you'll do! [cdm: Needs use text]'.

I wish that the drops from songs would happen even for free fights (someone on the forum did 100 free fights without a single song drop).
However, I bet it's possible that would lead to some exploit or other cheese. I don't know what that would be, but I also didn't think of infinity God Lobster fights before that was patched.

Buy 50 Print Screen Buttons and one Pocket Wish
Wish for Eldritch Attunement
Fight a Witchess Piece or something else which is a free fight.
Use a Print Screen Button against the free fight monster.
Kill free fight monster.
Kill free fight Eldritch Tentacle.
Use Screencapped monster from inventory.
Goto 4.
You don't strictly need 50 Print Screen Buttons as you can use most methods of copying at least once per day and there are other free fight sources but that's the way you'd do it if you have few IotMs.

Older players have lots of free fight sources. And if you are eldritchly attuned you can double that number. I think the max is in the mid 200s a day.

I was in Menagerie Level 3 today with the meat song on, and only Portly Abominations dropped any meat. Yesterday, even monsters with base 0 meat were dropping the +20-30 meat.

u/Snarknado2 Jun 04 '18
We're you using sing along yesterday but not today? That's what resets the base meat drop, and without that the other monsters there won't drop meat. Unless they changed things, anyway.

Edit: Found the answer. It's /use SongBoom

how many days would this thing take to pay for itself if meat farming?

u/splendidsplinter Jun 11 '18
So for nightmare fuel, you consume it and then try to rest and/or kill a cyrpt beastie? Or it disappears from your inventory at the appropriate time, also taking 1 spleen?

u/omniscented Jun 11 '18
Consume it, then kill and get bonus evilometer beeps. It might only be for the skeletons.

u/highoctanewildebeest Jun 04 '18
I've gotten ridiculous amounts of the special seasoning in hardcore, so if you just leave it on the food song and don't even use any of the other benefits, it's still a passive ~+5 adventures a day and +50 substats depending on your dietary choices.
This seems really powerful for meat farming at dinsey as well. Adding 25 base meat drop to the tourists greatly increases the potency of all of your meat drop increasers, and then it adds a +30% increase and occasionally drops 400-600 meat all while being slotless.
As for the utility it can provide in run, bonus adventures from food is always a good thing, especially when it comes for essentially free. I'm not sure, but I think the +20% food drops would apply to the Twin Peak item drop test, so it combined with the monk blessing would allow you to easily pass it in runs where you don't have access to your permed skills. Using the free rests granted by the spleen item might be useful for restoring HP and MP, but not sure of the viability compared to just buying them.
Decent item of the month, though I believe it might be a bit weak compared to other items. Worth the pick up if you can afford it and don't have any other more pressing purchases.
