Dumbbells

Exclusive to: 
Dumbbells are items crafted by Wolfgang and can only be held by him. They can be used as weapons or can be lifted to fill up Wolfgang's Mightiness Meter each time he lifts them, depending on his current strength. Wolfgang does 1 lift per second. Attacking using a Dumbbell will have the effects as lifting it 0.5 times, and Mighty Wolfgang can throw the Dumbbells, causing damage to targets in a small radius. Melee attacking costs 2 uses of the Dumbbell, and throwing cost 10 uses.
Dumbbell
“I usually let my mind do all the heavy lifting.”
“Quit making stuff I can't burn!”
“Ha! Wolfgang could lift boulders twice this size!”
“Oh. It's very heavy.”
“MINION UPGRADE EQUIPMENT”
“A bit of exercise can be quite beneficial to one's health.”
“Looks pretty heavy, eh?”
“I have no interest in such things.”
“'Tis nöt just strength, but cunning that makes a warriör!”
“It looks so easy when Mr. Wolfgang does it...”
“All of my arm strength comes from whisking egg whites.”
“Rocks”
“Why not do some real work instead of just liftin' these things?”
“It's neither dumb, nor a bell. Mortals are strange, indeed.”
“Muscly mustache man leave rocks everywhere.”
–Wurt
“I can do it! I just... need to get a good grip on it!”
“What a dreadfully repetitive way to spend one's time.”
“When equipped Wolfgang can Lift to raise his Mightiness.”
-
The Dumbbell is the most basic of the Dumbbells, and is the one Wolfgang starts with. It increases 3 Mightiness points when Wimpy and normal, and 1.5 when Mighty.
Golden Dumbbell
“It's worth its weight in gold.”
“Did he really need to make it so fancy?”
“Lift! Lift to get strong!”
“It's almost as heavy as my heart.”
“MINION UPGRADE EQUIPMENT”
“A bit of exercise can be quite beneficial to one's health.”
“I'll stick to lifting my axe.”
“It's not that impressive.”
“He hath strength, next we must wörk on his bravery!”
“It looks so easy when Mr. Wolfgang does it...”
“All of my arm strength comes from whisking egg whites.”
“Heavy!”
“Awful fancy for something you just pick up and put down over and over.”
“It's neither dumb, nor a bell. Mortals are strange, indeed.”
“Muscly mustache man leave rocks everywhere.”
–Wurt
“Uh, m-maybe I should start with something a bit lighter.”
“What a dreadfully repetitive way to spend one's time.”
“When equipped Wolfgang can Lift to raise his Mightiness.”
-
The Golden Dumbbell is the upgraded version of the Dumbbell. It increases 5 Mightiness points per lift when Wimpy, 3 when normal, and 1.5 when Mighty.
Marbell
“I've trained my brain to be the strongest muscle in my body.”
“Did he really need to make it so fancy?”
“Wolfgang will be strongest!”
“We all carry a great weight. His seems... a bit more literal, though.”
“MINION UPGRADE EQUIPMENT”
“A bit of exercise can be quite beneficial to one's health.”
“I'll stick to lifting my axe.”
“It's not that impressive.”
“Train well my friend, and jöin me in glörious battle!”
“It looks so easy when Mr. Wolfgang does it...”
“All of my arm strength comes from whisking egg whites.”
“Heaaavy rocks”
“Awful fancy for something you just pick up and put down over and over.”
“Marbellous, simply marbellous!”
“Muscly mustache man leave rocks everywhere.”
–Wurt
“Oh... when he said it was made of marble, I kind of hoped he meant the tiny ones.”
“What a dreadfully repetitive way to spend one's time.”
“When equipped Wolfgang can Lift to raise his Mightiness.”
-
The Marbell is the upgraded version of the Golden Dumbbell, and was added in the March 2022 QoL update. It increases 5 Mightiness points when Wimpy and normal, and 3 when Mighty, at a cost of reducing movement speed by 10% while equipped when not Mighty.
Gembell
“I'll conquer this weight with the power of-- ACK! My spine!!”
“Did he really need to make it so fancy?”
“Make muscles mighty!”
“Who would choose to carry such a burden...”
“MINION UPGRADE EQUIPMENT”
“A bit of exercise can be quite beneficial to one's health.”
“Choppin' trees is enough of a workout for me.”
“It's not that impressive.”
“My friend, if you want to be fighting fit you must jöin me in combat!”
“It looks so easy when Mr. Wolfgang does it...”
“All of my arm strength comes from whisking egg whites.”
“Sparkly rocks”
“Awful fancy for something you just pick up and put down over and over.”
“He's turned those gemstones into gymstones, hyuyu!”
“Sparkly rocks”
–Wurt
“Time to hit the gem! Get it? Because gem sounds like gym?”
“What a dreadfully repetitive way to spend one's time.”
“When equipped Wolfgang can Lift to raise his Mightiness.”
-
The Gembell is the upgraded version of the Marbell. It always increases 5 Mightiness points regardless of Wolfgang's current form.
Firebell
“It'll really make you feel the burn.”
“Yeah! Feel the burn!!”
“Is fiery, like Wolfgang's spirit!”
“It inflicts burning pain.”
“FLAMETHROWER ATTACHMENT FOR THE LARGE ONE”
“Careful dear, that looks suspiciously combustible.”
“Yer muscles won't be the only things on fire.”
“It has all the grace and subtlety I'd expect from the strong man.”
“My ally wields a strange weapön, indeed.”
“Ouch! It's hot!”
“For tenderizing and frying.”
“Hot!”
“You'll really be feelin' the burn! Ha!”
“Fire and gym stone!”
“Glurp! Hot rocks!”
–Wurt
“I don't think your muscles should be burning THAT much...”
“Not the most conventional weapon, but to each their own.”
“When equipped Wolfgang can Lift to raise his Mightiness.
When thrown it creates fire where it lands.”
When thrown it creates fire where it lands.”
-

“Ugh! Why is it so cold?”
“Is icy, like... ice!”
“It chills me to my core.”
“TELL THEM TO "FREEZE" BEFORE YOU THROW IT. IT WILL BE HUMOROUS”
“My, it's ice-cold to the touch!”
“You just throw it at whoever ya don't like, eh? Sounds pretty cold.”
“It has all the grace and subtlety I'd expect from the strong man.”
“My ally wields a strange weapön, indeed.”
“Oh! It's so cold!”
“For tenderizing and freezing.”
“Brrr!”
“Better get some ice on that!”
“It'll knock you out cold, hyuyuyu!”
“Glorph! Too cold!”
–Wurt
“You'll get a really n-ice workout with that! Heh. Good one, Walter.”
“Not the most conventional weapon, but to each their own.”
“When equipped Wolfgang can Lift to raise his Mightiness.
When thrown it increases the coldness of creatures near where it lands.”
When thrown it increases the coldness of creatures near where it lands.”
-
The Icebell When thrown it will freeze surrounding Mobs for the equivalent of two Ice Staff blasts. It always increases 5 Mightiness points regardless of Wolfgang's current form.
Thermbell
“It's good for a warm-up.”
“Let's get you all fired up for your workout, big guy!”
“Wolfgang is getting good warm-up!”
“It may warm the body, but not the heart.”
“A DUAL-PURPOSE MINION ENHANCER”
“An interesting combination of exercise and temperature regulation.”
“I think he took "warm-up" a bit too literally, eh?”
“You won't catch me lugging it around.”
“Training in comfort”
“Mr. Wolfgang says it's for warming up.”
“Ah, so this is for "warming up," non?”
“Heavy hot cold rocks”
“Is that what he uses for a warm-up?”
“A warm stone for muscle tone.”
“Muscly mustache man leave rocks everywhere.”
–Wurt
“I can warm up without lifting anything! N-not that I can't!”
“Well, at least it's efficient.”
“When equipped Wolfgang can Lift to raise his Mightiness.
Gains heat when near something hot, and cools near something cold.
It will warm or cool the holder depending on its temperature.”
Gains heat when near something hot, and cools near something cold.
It will warm or cool the holder depending on its temperature.”
-
The Thermbell absorbs heat and cold, if not used to lift it is completely identical to a Thermal Stone. It has the basic dumbbell increasing 3 Mightiness points when Wimpy and normal, and 1.5 when Mighty.
Tips
- As the Dumbbell is very inefficient, it could be used to keep Wolfgang's Mightiness from dropping until a better source of Mightiness is acquired.
- Due to the Golden Dumbbell's overall cheapness and good efficiency, it can easily replace the Dumbbell in the early-game.
- The Marbell increases mightiness at quite a quick rate. If you can find marble it's a viable alternative to the Mighty Gym that doesn't require gems. Full 100 mightiness can be reached in around 30 seconds starting at 0.
Trivia
- The Dumbbell's crafting description "Sticks and stones make muscles honed." is a reference to the children's rhyme "Sticks and Stones". The rhyme is used as a defense against name-calling and verbal bullying, intended to increase resiliency, avoid physical retaliation and to remain calm and good-living. The full rhyme is usually a variant of: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never hurt me."
- Despite being heavy weights, they don't sink when dropped on water.
- However, it makes sense for the Gembell as Gems don't sink in water.
- Dumbbells were heavily changed in the March 2022 QoL update:
- The Marbell was introduced.
- The Cut Stone requirement was removed, and the amount of Twigs was reduced from two to only one.
- The Thermbell, Icebell and Firebell were introduced in the Skill Spotlight: Wormwood, Wolfgang, Woodie update.
