Adventure Mode

Unlocked after defeating Boss 4, Adventure Mode allows the player to fight enemies for loot.

Important Note: The gear you get from farming in adventure is the main way to progress. The progression chapters are based on your adventure progress, as adventure mode is the main game.

Fighting bosses is initially very useful for unlocking new features (until Boss 58)
- After Boss 58, all features are now locked behind adventure progress, defeating Titans
- Fighting bosses will continue to unlock new adventure zones and titans
- However, if you’re unable to defeat previous zones/titans, there is no benefit in unlocking new zones that you cannot defeat enemies in
Focusing Number typically leads to constantly getting stuck or progressing very slowly
- Equipment provides an Attack/Defense boost based on its Power/Toughness
- Many features operate very slowly, getting a new set of gear can rocket you ahead
Maxing all the items in a set provides a permanent buff that can help other features

At the top of the Adventure Menu in bold font, the zone title displays the name of the zone
- Hovering over the title will display a tooltip with some information about the zone
- From Beardverse on, the tooltip will also contain the Boss Drop chance
In the top right corner, the Bestiary displays a list of enemies defeated
- For plot enthusiasts, the Bestiary also contains story and flavor texts
Under the title, there are three rows of skills that can be used to fight enemies
- The top two rows of skills are unlocked as they are unlocked in Basic Training
- The bottom row contains more skills that have other requirements to unlock
On the right, navigate through adventure zones using the drop down and left/right arrows
- To select a specific zone, click on the drop down and scroll to find your desired zone
- Left-clicking the left/right arrows will move you backwards/forwards one zone
- Right-clicking the left arrow will take you to the Safe Zone
- Right-clicking the right arrow will take you to the furthest non-titan unlocked zone
The middle displays the fight, with your adventure stats on the left, the enemy’s portrait in the middle, and the enemy’s stats and type on the right
The bottom displays the battle log, which shows a log of the recent events in the fight
- For certain Titan fights, reading the battle log as you fight will be crucial to the fight

Fighting

There are two methods of fighting enemies in Adventure Mode:

Idle Attack: always unlocked, attacks every 1 second, HP Regen +20%
- Disables use of any other skills
Manual Fighting: actively fighting using all other skills
- Much stronger than Idle Attack
- Typically recommended to manually fight Titans to unlock new features
- Sometimes used to target Adventure Bosses for a better chance at gear
For stats, the most important are power and toughness (in most cases: power > toughness)
- Buying adventure stats is NOT recommended until end of evil (LRB to T9v4)
- Buying adventure stats is a very short-term boost, it’s much more important to invest in permanent resources early on

Loot

Whenever an enemy is killed in adventure, they have a chance of dropping loot in the Inventory. There are two types of enemies in adventure zones:

Bosses have a yellow crown and (BOSS) in their name
Regular enemies are any enemies that are not bosses
In early zones, only bosses drop gear.
- When manually fighting for gear, you can leave and re-enter the adventure zone (click left arrow, then right arrow) to try to get a different enemy to spawn. Using this method to only kill bosses for gear is known as Sniping
Starting from Badly Drawn World, enemies will also drop gear, but at ⅓ of the drop rate
The chance of getting an item from an enemy depends on your Drop Chance modifiers
- Equipping items with the Drop Chance special will improve your odds for getting loot
- From Chocolate World onwards, Drop Chance is cube-rooted

Titans

Titans are stronger bosses in Adventure, each having their own adventure zone and cooldown.

Titans are unlocked by defeating a specific Boss in Fight Boss
Defeating a new Titan unlocks a new feature (up to T10)
Each Titan has a cooldown period, which is reset on rebirth or on kill
- The cooldown period can be reduced by 15 minutes per No Rebirth Challenge
- The cooldown period cannot be reduced lower than 1 hour, the minimum cooldown
Reaching a specific threshold of stats allows you to Auto Kill (AK) titans without going to their adventure zone. This works online or offline, but gear is only granted online
- This can be turned off online using the ‘Automatically Kill Titans’ toggle in Settings
- This setting does not work offline, which will always try to AK titans (at v1)
Being defeated by a Titan sends you to the Safe Zone with no penalties
All Titans grow in strength by 1% per attack

ITOPOD

The Infinite Tower of Pissed-Off Dudes (ITOPOD) is a special adventure zone unlocked by consuming the Pissed-Off Key from The Sky. Instead of a standard set of adventure enemies, the ITOPOD is composed of 1600 floors, with each successive floor having stronger enemies.

Note: Purchasing ‘The Pack of Pissed Off Dudes’ ($60 USD) adds your name to the ITOPOD

You can enter the ITOPOD through the Adventure tab, using the ‘Enter the ITOPOD’ button.

You climb from the Start Floor to the End Floor, restarting on death or completion
- Your Start Floor cannot be higher than one lower than your highest reached floor
- Your End Floor cannot be lower than your Start Floor, or higher than 1600 (final floor)
- Killing 10 enemies consecutively on a floor will unlock the next floor
- Each floor has enemies that are 1.05x stronger than the previous floor
Selecting ‘Optimal Floor’ will set your Start/End Floor to the highest one-shot zone
- Known Bug: Optimal Floor calculation assumes Spoopy set max bonus, so before getting that set, sometimes it will place you 4 floors lower than your highest 1-shot floor
Selecting ‘Max Floor’ will set your Start Floor to the highest available floor
- Helps set up to climb your highest floor, set End Floor to 1600 to climb
- If you have the Lazy ITOPOD Shifter, this must be turned off to climb max floor
Little Blue Pills are an AP consumable, which doubles PP for a single ITOPOD kill
Lazy ITOPOD Shifter is an AP purchase that calculates your Optimal floor after every kill

ITOPOD Rewards

Killing enemies grants a number of progress points towards earning Perk Points (PP)

Each enemy grants (200 + floor) progress points, 1 million progress points giving 1 PP
PP can be spent in the ITOPOD Perks menu in Adventure for various benefits
- Check your progression chapter for a list of suggested perk purchases
- Tip: Right-clicking on a perk will buy as many levels as you can afford
Every 10 floors, when you clear the floor for the first time ever, you get a PP reward
- This reward is multiplied by 10 for every 100th floor, and then increases by 1 for next
- Floors 10, 20, 30, … , 90 give 1 PP. Floor 100 gives 10 PP
- Floors 110, 120, 130, … , 190 gives 2 PP. Floor 200 gives 20 PP
Enemies will occasionally drop EXP, AP, and boosts depending on ITOPOD floor
- Boosts drop at a flat 14% DC, not affected by DC modifiers/gear. Boosts drop at Level 1
- Can max out boosts in ITOPOD since you only need half the boost drops
- Link to ITOPOD Drops Table (Wiki)

Farming ITOPOD

In the early game (pre-T4/Chapter 3), it’s not advised to spend time farming ITOPOD

Without significant PP modifiers, respawn, and power, your PP gain is negligible
Can climb max floor when you can reach a new 10 floor breakpoint for PP rewards

Later, it’s typical to farm ITOPOD at Optimal Floor between adventure zones

While farming pod, the only two stats that affect PP output is Power and Respawn
Wear a few respawn items to spawn enemies faster for more PP
- Wear RoG always, add Stapler at 7 acc slots, Green Heart at 9 acc slots
- From Evil onwards, a general rule of thumb is ⅓ of total acc slots = respawn
