Boondoggle says, "Hello Paramedic, I'm collecting coins to fund a cartography expedition to a nearby island. Try: '100 coins'"
Paramedic says, "100 coins"
• You gain experience.
Boondoggle says, "Paramedic, thank you for your donation."

Anyone know anything about Boondoggle's expedition? His name does not exactly inspire confidence in the endeavor.

I once threw 26,000c into Boondoggle's expedition. It gave me a third of a rank, I believe. Mind you, this was on Ann GM's server when I couldn't reach the main CL server because of a dead router. Might be worth throwing 30k into him just to see what happens. I'd be willing to pitch in a few 1000c.

He was added pre ripture time for all the high level exiles that wanted a way to buy extra experience. Not really effective but if you have coins to burn. I believe he predates the pay libraries but I could be wrong on that point.

You just noticed him. Yikes! O.O

He is a fun guy, but weird. hehe

Does make a person wonder that he'll ever do something? How much money does he have on him now? He must be the richest guy in town.

No, I didn't just notice him (notice I do not say he's "new"); I just thought it would be worth finding out what other people might know. I'll be doing this with other things in town too.

Yes, Boondoggle has been in the Sun Dragon Hut for a very long time. The deal was he would go out and explore the local islands and find safe landing areas for us. I'm not sure how closely his work relates to the opening of new islands. As far as SDC is concerned, he is a tenant we just can't seem to get rid of.

I believe that he used to say "try 5000 coins" or something equally outrageous.

Boondoggle is doing much better than paying a rent. He's actually the SDC treasurer (and a fine trickster, too, mwahahahaha)!

Thanks to all exiles who contributed to our wealth! ;D

(note : this is a joke)

Like people have said above he was put in many many years ago. Originally he was tied to the opening of the different islands but I don't think that is the case now. He also as people have said was a way for people who had tons of money to "buy" experience. I don't think it is the most effecient way to do it but you can literally buy a rank from him if you have the time and money. I remember an experiement several years ago where someone put close to 50k to finally get the rank. Since then I have found other ways to buy a rank and can do it for much less then 50k so I don't find him that usefull. :)

To my knowledge, Boondoggle has never had anything to do with the opening of new islands. Donating money to him is, as his name suggests, a boondoggle: An unnecessary or wasteful project or activity.

Yeah, he's a swindler. A liar. a cheat. Give him a zillion coins and he'll give you some experience. Maybe you'll get a rank! Ooooo! As far as I know he has not once set foot out of the SDC bar. There is a permanent dirty stain on the wall behind him from where he has leaned for countless eons.
