Vidae: /* Whirlwind */

Just mass-used 1000 [[cup of herbal tea|cups of herbal tea]]. Aside from feeling that my character ''really'' needs to go to the bathroom, there's nothing to show for it. Similarly, using up 7 [[lack of pies|lacks of pies]] resulted in nothing. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 23:26, 15 December 2007 (MST)
:Do we know that 666 of pit items, or 52+ playing cards do nothing? It would seem so from conversations in the chat, but I haven't been around long enough to get that far myself. [[User:Energythief|Energythief]]
::Questionaro had 1791 skulls and 5392 claws the last time he was asked. Also, a few people used 54+ cards when they got introduced.--[[User:Starker|Starker]] 14:48, 18 December 2007 (MST)

Based on the number "2" on the delayed gratification merit badge, I was curious if going through more than two levels immediately would be worth a badge. Unfortunately, going up five levels without leaving the training screen doesn't seem to merit a badge. I already had the delayed gratification badge. --[[User:Wiggy Stardust|Wiggy Stardust]] 21:01, 18 December 2007 (MST)

Also probably been done, but what about rolling through 2 nights? Friday all the way through end of Saturday? [[User:Energythief|Energythief]]

I tried having as many buffs as I could get, having 777, 7777, 1337, 31337 and 123456 chips and running away 100 times. Nothing =[ [[User:Volatile Serenity|Valentine]] 14:51, 30 December 2007 (MST)

No badge for 10, 15, or 20 [[pinata|pinatas]]. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 22:29, 31 December 2007 (MST)
* Nor for using 5, 10, 15, or 20 pinatas, and by extension, having 600 minutes of the effect. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

No badge for having more than 5000 turns worth of an aura, or for having every available car in the garage (incl. while walking or selecting a non-car vehicle.) --Mallomar

No badge for knocking on a [[Flak helmet]] twenty times. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

i heard a rumor from swampninja, about there possibly being a badge for having 888,888,888,888 chips. i do realize that it would be near to imposable to get that, but it might be there to find a chip bug. the thought is that 888 bill chips would be the cap, and upon visiting the hero's guild you would loose it all and Ryme would receive a message about it. (like the KOL chip sinks) --[[User:Reaper|Reaper]] 19:01, 9 January 2008 (MST)

I'm pretty sure that's a really false false rumor. I bet I could get confirmation on this one with Ryme, as it's pretty ridiculous.
:Yeah, I'd have to agree that that's false. It sounds way over-the-top, even for Ryme. {{User:Zelandoni/sig}} 22:26, 9 January 2008 (MST)

Also, Swampninja is a known asshat. That is all. - Satan

No improved Delayed Gratification for 5 levels (Levels 20-21, 21-22, 22-23, 23-24 and 24-25) - Cornuthaum
:*Nor for 9. Levels 15 to 24. --[[User:Valera|Valera]] 12:48, 23 January 2008 (MST)

You cannot roll through two nights unless you save up a bunch of levels since you can only rest for 21 hours before staring Frayday. I went 28.5 hours but no badde.

In the realm of collecting, 1000 smuggler's boxes don't yield a badge (or when opened) and I personally collected 700+ pearls of wisdom and 90+ harbor pearls. I did get very clean swimming around Porcelain Bay however :-) Dogbonius drank 100 bottles of Guatemalan pepper juice and failed. Questionario says that he accumulated 10,000 claws and 3,000 skulls from the pit but no badge for that either. Also, collecting one of every available transport did not yield a badge, at least before the Jetpack arrived. - Hodag

Satan would've had that transportation one as well. Just sayin'. --[[User:MagiNinjA|MN (#228)]] ([[User talk:MagiNinjA|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/MagiNinjA|C]]) 18:38, 26 January 2008 (MST)

Also, 5k ASX chips do not make a badge as well.

Pretty sure we knew this, but going from 6pm until 8:28pm the next day (26 hours) doesn't give one either. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

Has anyone waited until they were 1 million exp past the level they wanted to go up? [[User:Zillow|Zillow]]

Level 50 is roughly 1.2 million XP. I currently have 2.7 million. I think I'm there. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

Attempted 13 dark arts, and due to reversals in the location, also tried 31 dark arts. However, I don't remember how many minutes of daze I was up to. - eight bit hero

Ryme mentioned in chat that someone has earned one of the undiscovered badges but hasn't gone to the guild and received it yet.--[[User:Lazyfire|Lazyfire]] 00:10, 3 February 2008 (MST)
*Since Mad Hamish is past 10,000 ASX chips, I'm betting he's the one. [[User:Sefer|Sefer]] 11:24, 3 February 2008 (MST)

It's not MH. He already check at 10 k ASX, and he goes to the guild frequently as he transmogrifies just about every day. Also, a detail that was left out is that this was the first merit badge Ryme ever put in, which means there's no way it'd be ASX anyways. - Satan
*Huh. That at least means it might be more interesting to get. I'm hoping it's not Cristiona being past 3 million XP; I'm assuming she'd check at that point too.
**I check several times each day, which is why I found the level 50 badge so quickly. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

Has anyone used alts to test and see if you get a badge for being inactive a certain number of days? Alternately, do we know what the max amount of time saved up is, and whether there's a badge for having that and being extremely well rested?
:Taking an account that hasn't logged in since before Christmas (lump of coal message appeared when I logged in), going straight to the Hero's Guild... nothing. Bedtime: 3:00am (~252 turns left) [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

Logging in with my multi with 320 turns and visited the Hero's Guild right away, nothing. [[User:chuwenhsuan|chuwenhsuan]]

Let's get some merit badge talking going! I am currently looking for the last badge that Ryme has released. The only hint he gave is that he doesn't think anyone will find it. [[User:Hero of the universe|Hero of the universe]] 12:59, 7 March 2008 (MST)

27 [[lost soul|lost souls]] used, one at a time and no badge. Darn. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 07:28, 11 March 2008 (MST)

Cristiona: Where do you guys get the idea for the number of items needed? [[User:Hero of the universe|Hero of the universe]] 11:42, 11 March 2008 (MST)

I heard there are 18 badges now, we have 6 more to find! [[User:Hero of the universe|Hero of the universe]] 12:12, 4 April 2008 (MST)
:Where did you hear that from by chance??? --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CorruptShadow]] 15:42, 21 May 2008 (MST)

No badge for a bad gambling habit. I just "used" over 400 lottery tickets and no badge. - Hodag

No improved Delayed Gratification for 10 levels (went from level 40 to 50 in one shot)- Isabou
:*As of this time, I can attest that there are no other badges related to leveling aside from delayed gratification. --[[User:Valera|Valera]] 10:11, 22 May 2008 (MST)
No badge for 10000+ minutes of toasty heart. ( returning lost items) - Mischal
:*It's an IoTM related item, I highly doubt he'd be mean to people like that. --[[User:Valera|Valera]]

2 hints for merit badges given out during Tea Tyme with Ryme 4.
"One unfound badge is most likely to be discovered on Halloween."
"Another involves a sidekick"
As far as the sidekick, being in combat with all permanent ones, using 11 different non-perm ones and attacking once with them then dismissing have been tested.
For Halloween, eating 2 of each Halloween candy has been done --[[User:Zillow|Zillow]]--

No badge for encountering all (known) villains, or, by extension, having all their stuff (at least in its current form), whether or not you've opted out of the limelight after doing so. --Dogberry, 2 Dec 2009 8:24 AM CST

==Template Thingie==
I noticed that none of the individual merit badge pages link back to this page. Aside from items used on the badge pages, they're all dead-ends. Could the template be modified to include a link back to this page? Perhaps the link could be in the green bar at the top? [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 03:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
: done --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 13:07, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

==Known Hints==
Ryme has been known to say that there is a badge involving a usable sidekick, and one that is most likely to be found on Halloween.
I also talked to him once and he said that there is a badge that is "impossible" to get, although when questioned further he said that eventually someone with the right idea will find it... --[[User:Zillow|Zillow]]--
: You added some "unknowns" in between badges. Is this based on something? Do you know where the new badges fit in the order? --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 06:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
: Yes, I asked Ryme in chat and he said that number 8, 16, 17, and 20 were missing [[User:Zillow|Zillow]]

As of August 8th someone is 25% of the way to the new badge (the one that came out July 21st) and Ryme says it "Would be trivial to get in one day, if someone was inclined." [[User:Zillow|Zillow]]

== Sybil ==

We know that Sybil lives before the RRRR badge. But how it relates to the Grandmaster of Retcon badge is still in question. Once someone has both badges, we should consider arranging this page again. Not sure if that's a 'needs spading' or an 'incomplete'? --[[User:Lxndr|Lxndr]] 15:17, 11 January 2011 (PST)
: No need to do anything, it will take at most three days to know. --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 00:41, 12 January 2011 (PST)
: Sybil comes after Grandmaster. --[[User:Harry Dresden|Harry Dresden]] 18:35, 13 January 2011 (PST)
::Excellent. I surmised correctly. --[[User:Lxndr|Lxndr]] 06:40, 14 January 2011 (PST)

== Whirlwind ==

I saw that the whirlwind badge is listed as being earned by making a very fast run, but I can verify that that's not the case. I played for a while, then left for three years. When I came back, I finished up all of the new content very quickly. Within one or two (real time) days. I'm not sure what exactly triggered it, but my run took over three years. So it can't be that.[[User:Vidae|Vidae]] 16:40, 14 July 2012 (PDT)

speed retcon?

Random guess - at least one <30h retcon run? Although the text mentions 'one particularly short set of journal entries'...which might mean something more specific [[User:Kurg|Kurg]]
: Going through the fastest retcon boards, Jesus has the badge and his fastest run is 31h 25m. So lets check 32h first... --[[User:Blackmatter615|Blackmatter615]] 07:27, 21 February 2011 (PST)
Maybe doing every single quest (including B-Class ones)? --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|'''Corrupt''''''Shadow''']] 06:32, 21 February 2011 (PST)
: Might be now awarded retroactively - I just read about the badge, went to the training room, and received it. I didn't do the B-quests on last run, and as far as I can say I never did them all in one run. My fastest run is 23h 41m 9s, not especially fast. --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 07:23, 21 February 2011 (PST)
:: I just got it yesterday, so if it was something I'd just qualified for, it had to come between Levels 7 and 8. All the journal-y stuff I did between those times -- unlocked the Zion's Tears building, A Familiar Figure, Demiurge defeated in around an hour and 18 minutes from the first thing to the last. I don't know it it tracks stuff from earlier runs, but that particular sequence seems pretty quick to me. I guess the badge could be set up by holding off on John Steele, counsel Harry, and the Bard... and if they weren't enough, wait to do each of those until immediately after finishing a fourth quest. --[[User:Jesus|Jesus]] 23:08, 21 February 2011 (PST)

Just got it as well and my fastest run is only 52h 49m 0s. --[[User:Zicon|Zicon]] 02:22, 22 February 2011 (PST)

I haven't done my retcon in quite a while (18 days back in Nov 2010). I just went to the guild today and I qualify for this badge. This is likely something that was tracked before, and is awarding badges now. What it could be I have no idea. VERY casual player.--[[User:Top1214|Top1214]] 17:44, 22 February 2011 (PST)

It's based on something that was tracked. It was only recently activated, so it can be for historical actions. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]
: Saying that it is tracked is like saying Carmen Sandiego is somewhere in the world. Is it openly tracked (i.e. can a player view it in profile/journal) or is it hiddenly tracked, like resting time and ending battle hp? --[[User:Blackmatter615|Blackmatter615]] 13:36, 22 March 2011 (PDT)

I will be completing the following quests tomorrow. We'll see if anything happens for beating that many quests in one day (--[[User:Corrupt Shadow|'''Corrupt''''''Shadow''']] 20:44, 28 March 2011 (PDT)):
*C.H.I.P.S. (Casino Heroes Investigate Purported Scandal)
*Go Fish
*Don't Cry for Me, Zion-tina
*Trouble in the Wasteland
*Go Fish, Again
*All the World's a Quest, and All the Men and Women Merely Heroes
*Through the Dimensional Rabbit-Hole

Nope. Nothing. Has to be speed-runs. "...so few hours...". --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|'''Corrupt''''''Shadow''']] 06:19, 30 March 2011 (PDT)
: No way it is the speed of the run alone. Just look at Zicon's statement above, with a 52 hour run netting it for him. --[[User:Blackmatter615|Blackmatter615]] 07:11, 30 March 2011 (PDT)
:: You can't entirely get rid of the idea of speed runs cause if you actually look at Zicon's retcon history his original continuity was recorded as 19h 32m 30s --[[User:Zillow|Zillow]]--
::: Under 20 hrs maybe? --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|'''Corrupt''''''Shadow''']] 08:41, 30 March 2011 (PDT)
:::: Nope, Muhs was 23h 41m 9s and Jesus had a 31h 25m. As BM said a long time ago we should check at 32h. --[[User:Zillow|Zillow]]--
::::: Interesting about Zircon's first run. Also, its definitely NOT straight up time. Looking at TekRunner's profile, he has several runs under 32 hours, including one 30h 17m 10s run, but no badge. Seeing as some people have 30-32 hr runs with badge, and some dont, it doesnt make snes to be purely time. --[[User:Blackmatter615|Blackmatter615]] 11:55, 30 March 2011 (PDT)
:::::: Sorry but your argument is invalid, the last time Tek logged on was before the badge was released so he probably can get it right now, unless you have other examples of people in the 30-32hr range and no badge then the badge being based on run time still stands --[[User:Zillow|Zillow]]--

This is one of the last two badges I need. I can't figure this one out, man. All I know is the hint "speeeeeeeeed". --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|'''Corrupt''''''Shadow''']] 09:28, 12 April 2011 (PDT)

Not about speed runs. I came back to the game about 3 years after I stopped playing. I finished up a ton of new stuff that was added on my first day (real life 24 hours). When I went to train again, I got this thing. I haven't completed the game once (meaning I haven't used the Retcon thing yet). I think it's about the number of quests finished in one real-life day.
