		+	[2026 Jan 27 23:25] [OOC Gnanglunthuggog] god kill log is a little different

		+	[2026 Jan 27 23:25] [OOC Gnanglunthuggog] zyg--- I def don't do that

		+	[2026 Jan 24 09:48] [OOC Zygefgh] hmm, discharge attack rating for wands seems kinda tough to increase
		+	[2026 Jan 24 09:48] [OOC Zygefgh] looks like mostly just ego + wyrding
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:16] [OOC Zygefgh] ugh damn hero levelling
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:16] [OOC Flix] leveling is what they want you to do, fight the man!
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:16] [OOC Zygefgh] either the kill log needs to be shorter,
		+	or we need more hero level combat areas. I haven't been killing in Og all week
		+	and I still don't get xp from fighters
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:17] [OOC Zygefgh] I wish darkhold guards were tougher
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:17] [OOC Zygefgh] that seems like a good place to grind, but
		+	the regular guards are worthless, even sub-hero
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:18] [OOC Flix] true, whats your path? I've been doing mines,
		+	tere rest, vasbarghad, og
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:20] [OOC Zygefgh] vargan (all the way down to 2nd last level),
		+	tenereth (first two levels), vasbarg (outside only), Og fighters, Spiderwood
		+	(rachnei, gigantic spiders, atterkop, and sparkbugs), gurbo (first 3 levels),
		+	caves of sionell
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:21] [OOC Flix] damn, surprising it hasnt reset after that
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:21] [OOC Zygefgh] yeah, same
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:21] [OOC Flix] if you wipe a bunch of low level stuff it
		+	should work as well
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:22] [OOC Zygefgh] it's because the log is a fixed number of
		+	kills and not based on variety
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:22] [OOC Zygefgh] some of these areas don't have large numbers
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:22] [OOC Gnanglunthuggog] yea i just sit in teryx or shantaari
		+	and let them swarm me
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:22] [OOC Zygefgh] can't do that as a level 54 human
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:23] [OOC Zygefgh] it's like, once you get over the power-hill
		+	where you can take swarms, you're usually in a better spot, but until then the
		+	kill log makes it a slog
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:24] [OOC Gnanglunthuggog] shrieking siren has lots of beings
		+	waiting to become bodies
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:24] [OOC Zygefgh] yeah that's true
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:24] [OOC Gnanglunthuggog] lh sewer skavens and rats should be
		+	quick too
		+	[2026 Jan 24 11:25] [OOC Zygefgh] I just wish I knew how long I had to go
		+	farming 0xp mobs
