There is much better approach which would solve the problem: all stackable items of the same type in a shop should be combined into a single position, and one should be able to buy any number of items in that stack, the same way one is able to drop any number of items. (Of course shops shouldn't sta...

Heh, I like these type of small survival challenges. And Chei is often the god to give them.
Regarding slime situation: I think you should've read ?immo before burrowing into wall, this way you'd have enough fiery bombs around the blob.

Just now I clicked on a list of Players Ranked by Total Score and found a new name there taking the 3rd line: AsparasYuuki . In just 6 months he has won 146 times, maintaining winrate of 43%! All 146 characters were DEWz of Sif with 15 runes! This is really impressive dedication! If he keeps the pac...

I think this situation is okayish. Here I would stay and fight even if the terrain to the east weren't unexplored. If you run you can end up being paralysed and dispatched. And if you stay and fight, I bet it'll be over before your berserk ends. So go ahead and whack stuff with your staff (you even ...

So I decided to take another shot at the challenge I failed two years ago: win a game where all the kills are made by ancestor .

Ok, my second day of hellcrawl: 713916192 Yermak the Ruffian (level 27, 193/245 (249) HPs) *SPEED* Began as a Gnoll Torpor Knight on Dec 16, 2018. Was the Champion of Cheibriados.

Hello, today I tried hellcrawl for the first time. I liked it a lot, to be fair, I had a blast playing it. Not sure though, if it is because of hellcrawl being better than normal dcss or because of the new experience. Now to details/bugs: ⋅ Hellcrawl has big problem with manual and descri...

It's almost impossible to die in V:5 if you remember to use Drain Life. And you used exactly once through the whole game.

HANFGEIST wrote:The ring "Afool" {Fire} -seriously?

Dude, this is partially identified artefact from a ghost vault. It is just guaranteed to be Fire.

This death was an abrupt surprise. I was fighting a wave of monsters that gushed out of a vault, not taking any significant damage myself. Monsters were getting tormented and poisoned by a cloud. Battle was quite comfortable. Random moth of wrath appeared from behind, I was fine with the chance of g...

Fight in the open: read torment, read immolation, Apocalypse. Done.

HANFGEIST wrote:Question: Will I become petrified in Statue Form by Calcifying Dust?

Answer: No.
Bonus: If you enter Statue Form when already being petrified, petrification will continue.

Will banishment result in a failure to get tier bonus points?

I think 3rd week's tier I bonus is the worst so far, by a mile. Even with a source of regeneration and reckless diving to D:4 it's a result of coin-flip at best. (I wish I had done the bonus so that my opinion didn't sound like baby rage.) And 3rd weeks' tier II is the best so far - very reliable an...

I don't know if this qualifies for "bad", but in the course of going through all the minivaults, I found that there are still at least three vaults with hidden areas that have to be dug into, and have no transparent walls to indicate the existence of said hidden areas: nrook_guardian_serp...

My TrCj is dead to Joseph. Two zaps of wand of acid and the final hit with a staff. After the first zap instead of teleportation I repositioned myself, I thought that Joseph would spare the life of a poor fellow orc behind my back. But nope: Joseph zaps a wand. The bolt of acid hits you! The acid co...

Could we have a guarantee that tier I and II bonuses for the last challenge won't be mutually exclusive with any of the one-time points like they are for this week's combo?

Yermak: I do not understand how it would get rid of the power creep problem? If you cannot come back to clear the time portal later when you are stronger, then weaker characters won't be able to gather XP and treasure from it. By 'weak characters' here I meant those who can't reach portal in time: ...

I like the idea of golden anvil very much. How about this change to timed portals (and possible golden anvils): after the timer has expired they still hold on, but only until you leave the floor? This way weak characters can get to them too and there is still no problem with returning when you get s...

Couldn't you instead drop a plant in the arch? That's a good idea, but it doesn't work. If you're still with Fedhas, you'll be placed on a plant, if you abandon him before exiting abyss, you're placed at the plant's spot and plant - at the closest free space - weapon's chamber. If you're ever in Ma...

Have you ever seen this? Have you had a thought "Oh, I wish I could get my hands on this juicy weapon"? the_untouchables.png the_untouchables_console.png This vault is designed to be decorative. This means you can't get the weapons: you cannot destroy walls with shatter, they are unnatural...

Equip shield right away and you're fine with going into Vaults.

Guys, how exactly would you use DDoor in this situation? Since you can be killed at the turn DDoor expires, you don't want to have any relatively dangerous monsters next to you at this moment, otherwise your survival is decided by a coin-flip. To ensure that you either have to cBlink-fog (random bli...

Tazzak wrote:The door was at the top actually.

The bottom of the guitar! The vault itself can be rotated in any way. If, by chance, your morgue has vaults listed, you can tell us the name of vaults on Snake:1.
Next time just attach a screenshot of your vault, it would've been much easier to answer.

If it were ghost vault OP would've probably seen its contents, since they have glass walls. My best guess would be... It's guitar-shaped vault with the door at the bottom. There are 6 monsters in each of the first two rooms and one monster in the third tiny room. Monsters are usual snake pit spawns,...

Have you noticed how Conjure Flame always expire after all monsters move? You can cheiwalk in Statue Form next to a killer bee behind flame cloud (created by CF) and yet you can still safely recast it on the same spot after it expires. Now what's with Death's Door? You can easily be killed on the sa...

Yeah, Conjure Flame is what I'm going to amnesia to learn the spell in question. Can't learn both.

I successfully got slimy rune, thanks to all! Special thanks to pedritolo for Ignite Poison hint, reliable zap of wand of clouds was what I needed to venture Slime (even though I ended up not using it there). Adventures continue in viewtopic.php?f=5&t=25758

I'm about to enter Tomb:3. If I drink one of my 4 pots of brilliance I can cast any of Necronomicon spells. So here is the question: which one would be better to learn? Pros and cons: ⋅ Borgnjor's Revivification fully heals, but chips off 7% of my maxhp. Permanently. ⋅ Death's Do...

Rules are anything that would be reasonable in a speedrun (well, under assumption that this must be the rune you're getting next.) So I'd say anything except going back and scumming for xp. Worshipping Jyiva won't work, because you'll have to get piety. See, the point of this thread isn't a competit...

Ladies and gentlemen! Will you dare to test yourself against formidable creatures of Slime? Do you have the skills and powers to grab the rune as 16xl GnTm? Below is character overview: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.22.0 (tiles) character file. Gn_Slime the Martial Artist (Gnoll Tra...

Everyone has the same problem. 0.22 games haven't been added to cao page yet, but they will be. At some point. I hope.

VeryAngryFelid wrote:Lugonu does not give any piety in Abyss unless it was changed in last versions.

Oh, interesting, I didn't know that. Makes sense.

Why not remain in Abyss for a while and regain piety?

Imagine you're Op, who found only amulet of regeneration of all jewellery and only a shield of all armour. Would you rather spend acquirement on jewellery or on armour?

Edit: Oh, and let's say weapon is out of question, since I'm going to fight unarmed.

First of all, ManMan, I don't really like this title above. Concerning "health problems": I'm not under-age, you're not my parents. So, please, fu back off. Limiting play time per day for "health reasons" is ridiculous in my opinion. Limiting it for tournament to be fair is anoth...

Has anyone considered this combination of spells before: Sticks to Snakes + Teleport Other + Inner Flame? Every time you enter a new floor, teleport some fire-filled snakes around. Since you're limited by the amount of arrows you have you can do it only for dangerous levels. As an option with Kiku y...

So in which situations is an Apocalypse opener worth the drain, and when isn't it?

The extra swapping also takes some turns Believe it or not, but putting on a ring instead of another ring is exactly the same as removing that second ring and then putting on the first ring. Both variants take two turns lasting 0.5 auts each. In both variants monsters are able to act after you remo...

Think twice before taking Ru on a blaster, because her panic buttons have a high MP cost and chances are by the time you've figured out that you need her help you've used up most of your MP. If you use Ru's Apocalypse as a panic button then you use it wrong. It is an opener. If you need to finish t...

Heroism plus your javelins/tomahawks should be enough to kill them. Identify that iceblast wand to ensure you don't miss with the last hit if it is next to you.
