+2 level kills get much more attractive when IMAWAL enters the picture. Other than that, I count +1 and +2 level kills as about the same in the long run. I don't have any proof of this and really it's just my gut feeling too, but aiming for +2 level kills seems like it banks more popcorn EXP even if the total payout is more or less the same either way.

Just watched your run of TL - wow. Never thought of using Mass09 for that. That's actually a fantastic idea! Kudos to you.

Mass09's Ledger really is one of the most interesting and underused items that can be found in vanilla subdungeon.

To get a grasp of all it's possible use cases it can have, you should look at this gem from the game's wiki:

While it's generally as not worthwhile as the usual vicious reward items, it certainly is quite useful and fun to play with.
I added it to my locker recently because I have finally reached golden borders on my Hard dungeons and will have to do a bunch of GoatPerson runs, and I believe that it will be extremely valuable.

I am equally convinced that it might be possible to leverage it in FFFF pt.3 (but maybe not, 18% resistance is quite a lot there).

For now I didn't use it much, but I took it for a spin in Ick Swamp and it was really funny to get rid of all the plants using it (even though I cheated, that was a Crusader Hoarder PQI).
It can be reaaaally nice in Cursed Oasis or Creeplight Ruins, anything with Shades, really.

I claim victory in Vicious Gaan-Telet with both Curious and Vicious Token applied.

Now, strictly speaking, the game crashed before I reached the victory screen. But before that happened, I had reached a game state where my victory was 100% guaranteed. I would like to interpret the game crash as the game resigning in the face of my certain win.

Yes, Curious VGT + VT. Don't worry, I recorded it, video coming soon, I just wanted to whet your interest

Again, I didn't actually get to the victory screen, and since those crashes happened twice in a row on runs that would certainly have been wins, I don't think I'll be attempting it a third time. (I already lost 35,000 kingdom gold on these attempts!)
