Six New Trophies!

Spoiler Alert.

So, for these new trophies, you need to reach level 30. That's 845 mainstat. Which equals 714025 substat.

Yikes.

Especially considering the following:
1 06/10/05 28 DB (none) 47,980 431 Normal, No Path
That's right, my first ascension, the day after Ascension was implemented, took me more than a year, the better part of 50k turns and only took me to level 28.

Granted, most of that run was sub-optimal and large swathes of it were spent in absentia. I mean, suppose you could spend about 200 adventures a day. That's still 250 days of adventuring to spend 50k adventures. Of course it will take a lot less, but how much less?

The leveling is best done out of Ronin, of course, and with as much buffs as possible. Lemme make a list. Considering one would go for the Gallery as prime leveling place:
Buffs:
Antiphon of Aptitude (AT)
Ur-Kel's Aria of Annoyance (AT)
Sonata of Sneakiness (AT)
Skills:
Smooth Movement (DB)
Leash of Linguini (P)
Potions:
Big Veiny Brain (Knob Goblin)
Heavy Petting (Knob Goblin)
Green Tongue (Snowcone)
The Cupcake of Wrath (Cupcake)
Papowerful (Potion of Papower)
Fresh Scent (Deodorant)
Mysteriously Handsome (Handsomeness Potion)

And also:
Rage of the Reindeer
Tenacity of the Snapper
Snarl of the Timberwolf
Saucespheres of all sizes and sorts
Astral and Ghostly Shell
And who knows what more.

Equipment:
Plexiglass Pith Helmet
Grimacite Guayabera
Ice Sickle
Ice Sickle
Travoltan Trousers
Hockey Stick
Hockey Stick
Ring of Conflict

Sign: Oppossum, set MCD to 11.
Familiar: Hovering Sombrero with either Wax Lips, or a Pumpkin Basket, once +ML gets above 173 or so. (which would probably be around level 18 or so)

Something like that.
It still would take a significant chunk of time, in the order of a month, at least.
I'd need to borrow the hockey sticks and ice sickles, as well as the guayabera.
Also, I'd like a few extra skills for this. Most notably: Snarl of the Timberwolf, Smooth Movement and Impetuous Sauciness.

That said...here I come softcore!

Although...I think I'll get those skills HC perm'd first. So, at least this gives me an impetus and direction for my Ascension order.
