Missing one:

a freak-posterous gargoyle from Mount Vernon, Kentucky [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 22:01, 10 December 2007 (MST)

Nevermind, added it myself. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 23:24, 10 December 2007 (MST)
* I kind of thought you were joking. But I just ran into one today (an incred-treme beast from there, so it's not one specific encounter). --[[User:Jesus|Jesus]] 00:19, 11 December 2007 (MST)
**Nope; no joke.  I just stared at my screen for a few minutes when I saw it.  I think it's just a rare location.  Sounds like a [http://www.mountvernonkentucky.com/local/cityinfo.html small place], though.  Maybe Ryme just hates Kentucky.  Can't say as I blame him...

=Smoldering Ash=
Was dropped by:<br>
a mons-trous gargoyle from the netherworld<br>
a mons-trous gargoyle from the inferno<br>
I'd never paid attention to it before, but I was wondering "If the Abaddon Charm is dropped by one combination, then maybe ash is dropped by certain combinations or families of combinations.

Less impressively:<br>
a fou-trous varmint from the inferno<br>
a freak-treme varmint from Hades<br>
a stupen-dous varmint from perdition<br>
a ghast-treme beast from the blue blazes<br>
a ghast-trous imp from perdition<br>
Hey, the first three are all varmints... I dunno. Maybe I'm jumping at shadows. --[[User:Jesus|Jesus]] 00:49, 11 December 2007 (MST)
*I'll be recording XP rewards after rollover, so I'll also note if they dropped ash. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 04:03, 11 December 2007 (MST)
** That is awesome. I've been wondering for a long time if XP was randomized along with the names, or if the name parts had certain XP weights attached. But it's been impractical for me to try and do that, since I keep leveling up. --[[User:Jesus|Jesus]] 21:21, 11 December 2007 (MST)

95 adventures in the pit, and the following monsters dropped ash:<br>
a mons-treme fiend from the inferno<br>
a fou-dous gargoyle from the bottomless pit<br>
a ghast-trous gargoyle from the netherworld<br>
a mons-ly beast from Hades<br>
This was with [[Metal Detector]] and a [[Hero's Cape]]. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 22:18, 11 December 2007 (MST)

=XP Gains=
This is mostly just a data dump, but I'm sure someone's good enough with math to make use of this.  These results were gathered by me, so they're for a level 50 Gadgeteer.  I didn't wear any [[gold star|gold stars]] to boost my level.  I did have a [[Zion's helm]] on, but I've already subtracted out the XP bonus from that.  No [[Euphoria]], [[Utter Wretchedness]], or any other known XP adjuster, either.

So... yeah.  Hope this mess helps.  Feel free to make it pretty if y'all want.  [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 22:31, 11 December 2007 (MST)

* Were you using a Bat out of hell? I noticed that I get hit a hell of a lot harder when I have one equipped. I've been in the Pit full-time though, so if it has a hidden +XP enchantment to go with the apparent +ML, I can't really say. Anyway, thank you for the data. --[[User:Jesus|Jesus]] 21:32, 12 December 2007 (MST)
**Yeah, I was using the bat.  Kit was:
 Car: Luxura
 Helm: Zion
 Weapon: Bat out of Hell
 Shirt: Tropical Fleece
 Gloves: Forcegloves
 Pants: Hot Pants
 Shoes: Sturdy Boots
 Offhand: Flux Incapacitor
 Acc1: Hero's Cape
 Acc2: Scottish Necklace
My standard fighting style was 2 shock grenades followed by spamming attacks.  For particularly tough ones, I'd grenade again.  I think the attacks are mostly random, though.  The low 300XP ones weren't particularly difficult or hard.  When I wasn't recording, I would have combats where one or no grenades sufficed.<br>
Anyway, I don't think the bat does anything other than improve your chance of hitting.  [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 01:50, 13 December 2007 (MST)
***Hm. When I used the bat, I'd get hit for 10-15 damage pretty often. When I switched back to truepenny, it went back below double digits, usually in the 4-8 range. I've gained a couple of levels since then, and I still haven't gotten hit as hard as I did with the bat. --[[User:Jesus|Jesus]] 20:53, 13 December 2007 (MST)
****I wonder if the percentile bonus to hit on the bat is what's causing the difference.  With my Flux Shield, I generally only take elemental damage. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 04:55, 14 December 2007 (MST)
*****Shirt: Polar Fleece? Is it a new item or did you mean the tropical one, Cristiona?
******Yeah, I meant tropical.  Fixed. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 23:14, 14 December 2007 (MST)
*******The max XP seems to be ''Level*10''; you're getting 500 at level 50, and at level 36, I'm getting 378 as a high (Keen Observation gives +1 XP per 20 XP, so a creature that gives 360 would get +18 as...um... observed). --[[User:Jesus|Jesus]] 03:16, 15 December 2007 (MST)
*******Hm.  The lowest listed there is 308, so I'm wondering what the lower bound is.  Perhaps ''level*6'', and I just haven't seen/noticed/recorded a 300?  [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 04:02, 15 December 2007 (MST)
