	Bonus) The Goals-Oriented feature is really great for bounty and also questing. It is pre-loaded with several intelligent goals for various zones. For example, in the pirate quest you are tasked with acquiring 3 different items to become a pirate. Normally you have to remember which items you have gotten that are related to the quest. By using Mafia, you can simply type in that zone, then uncheck Goals, use the goals pulldown menu and select the set of those particular 3 items. When you adventure, it will go until all three items are acquired.		Bonus) The Goals-Oriented feature is really great for bounty and also questing.

	This feature is possible because ~~KolMafia~~ has many built-in goals that correspond with automate-able adventure constraints. It knows that you are on the Pirate quest, at a certain part of it. Therefore, it knows that you need X,Y, and Z items to continue. Hence, it appears as a potential goal. Once you have these items or are done with the quest, this goal is not an option anymore.

	Bonus) The Goals-Oriented feature is really great for bounty and also questing. ~~Normally to do~~ the pirate quest ~~for example,~~ you have to remember which 3 items you are ~~looking for, fight, loot, use, and keep up with when you get one of~~ the ~~3 items, and then remember when you have them all~~. ~~Instead, with KolMafia~~, you can simply use the pulldown menu ~~that corresponds to that goal~~ and ~~tell~~ it ~~to go!
