There's also an alternate version to this. If you don't want to bother using the hoe and pitfall instead, you can save, then look for the pitfall, then, if you go down to deep and lose to much energy, reload, and drop down again.

Yep it depends on your number of green wonderfuls on the hoe, and whether you want to conserve stamina or save real life time.

2 green wonderfuls: you can go as deep as you want with 0 stamina loss by hoeing for stairs, but it takes a lot of real life time.

1 green wonderful: falling 1 floor is the same as 4 hits of your hoe, falling 2 floors is 16 hits, 3 floors is 36 hits, 4 floors is 64 hits, 5 floors is 100 hits

0 green wonderfuls: falling 1 floor = 2 hits, 2 floors = 8 hits, 3 floors = 18 hits, 4 floors = 32 hits, 5 floors = 50 hits

If you're in a big damn hurry and just want to reach 255 as fast as possible, and have a ton of food, here's total stamina requirements for only using pitfalls to descend depending on how many floors you want to drop at a time:

5 floors at a time: 5100 stamina
4 floors at a time: 4080 stamina
3 floors at a time: 3060 stamina
2 floors at a time: 2040 stamina
1 floor at a time: 1020 stamina
