thanks a lot, your suggestions are precious and very welcome :-)

It's my first character with Ash that has gone so far.
I'll go with the flame scimitar (I think there is a +3, no branded great swords yet) and I'll start learning spells!

Hi, my last DsFi looks promising: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.19.0 (tiles) character file. Mino the Warrior (Demonspawn Fighter) Turns: 34627, Time: 01:56:57 Health: 106/151 AC: 25 Str: 23 XL: 17 Next: 32% Magic: 24/24 EV: 19 Int: 9 God: Ashenzari [******] Gold: 434 SH: 17 Dex: 16 Spells: 0 m...

It's a game full of sadness, after all.
Looks like actual life.
Maybe that's the reason we love it so much.
Life is frail.
Resistance is futile.

So true.

F*ck F*ck F*ck I HATE THIS GAME. Died out of my damn stupidity. Sorry for your loss. What was the fatal mistake? ("Look not where you fell, but where you slipped.") I've been damned stupid. I dived into a pack of centaurs. "Aha ha ha my glaive will rip you all into pie...." I wa...

F*ck F*ck F*ck
I HATE THIS GAME.
Died out of my damn stupidity.

you are so right.
I should be more reasonable. I picked Ash....

So, I started another DsIE. My idea was to go and blast everything with ice, eventually ending up with ice cloud and this kind of stuff (I always die pretty early so this was my endgame strategy ^^). Then the game took over. At D:4 I've found a randart +7 plate armour. At D:5 I've found a +10 glaive...

I'm playing the MuFi^Goz too

I've stumbled across irradiate: do you think it would be a good late game solution?

thanks a lot!

1. Prioritize Maces&Flails skills, at least before M&F reach lv14 (or lv16, if you find eveningstar early). Forget evocations. any reason for choosing M&F? I see both of you are going for it and as a mummy I think you don't have the chance to change your mind once in-game, as wasting ev...

thanks for the clarification!

well I suppose that if I start running in circle vs yak with an unarmored toon I'll be almost dead at the end of the circle, but I might be wrong...

Hydras. Why is animate skeleton considered so good? I hear a lot about it but I don't get it. It's just a crappy summon isn't it? You answered it already ;) Hydra skeleton will annihilate everything. Also you can kill one yak, animate it in the same fight and continue fighting, kill one more, anima...

Hi, I'd like to emulate you but I've never played a spriggan (and I'm playing DCSS since 0.8 or maybe earlier.... ^^). May I ask you a couple of hints? Like: how do you play it, you do not rest as food will be scarce? You try to rush to zot? You raise spellcasting that much for hunger issues? (yes, ...

Now I understand why I died. It was TSO that called me and I answered instead to Veh. I deserved to be electrocuted by an horrible thing on level 12 of the Dungeon. Now I'll burn in hell, my white scales endlessly melting. Hail to TSO. Hail to the angel guard. (and thank you all for spending time an...

and eventually I died horribly ^^

thats what I was thinking. Berserker at the wrong time and bye bye toon.
But it's so fascinating to walk around with a +10 blade....
What shall I do? WHAT SHALL I DO? GOD SPEAK TO ME, YOU SENT ME THIS SWORD, IS THAT A SENTENCE OF DEATH?!?!?

I know, it's a sign: I joined the army of Vehumet, even if I was a Monk, and he bestowed me with.... Jyhad (the sword). Do you think shall I use it? I've already skilled Long Blade to 11, I destroy things but I know, the *Rage will bring me to death, it's true? You confirm? Shall I dump it for anoth...

I agree. Indeed I kept pumping UC and he was rather unstoppable.
Booze is bad for Torrenera while playing videogames.

oghhhhhhh dammit I shouldn't play while drunk.... my toon die to a stupid mistake.
I love this game.

Hi, I love unarmed Ds. I like to bet on the mutation wheel, hoping to get claws or torns or other nice melee mutations. This time did not went so well....

thanks a lot!
I did not considered the -cold drawback of fda :-(

so sad... Well I think there is a r+ plate armor in the orc lair, I'll go for it and I'll keep pumping STR.
Thanks again!

Hi everybody, this is my best DD so far. I've been lucky with items, and that explains why I've arrived so deep in the dungeon with this tricky (at least for me) race. Before any other word, my dump: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.19.0 (tiles) character file. Oboe the Cleaver (Deep Dwarf Necroma...

don't worry, it was explained a couple of posts below... ^^

ehm... what is hell crawl? :shock:

just wondering: would you train shield for a transmuter? I guess no because it gets melded everytime you use your magic, but this way defenses are really low, don't you think?

thank you both!

one more question: I've found a book with blade hands and I've learned it. It seems pretty good and hoping to find stone statue, investing in transmutation seems a reasonable choice. I was wondering: is blade hands better than UC or when approaching the high 20's in UC shall I move back to bare hand...

thank you I'm glad there's a chance for the lizard to keep punching enemies

Hi everybody, I got this golden draconian monk that is performing really well. I think he came up random and I loved from the very beginning since he hatched out of his egg ^^ Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.19-a0-630-g098d46c (tiles) character file. Abrendos the Martial Artist (DrMo) Turns: 1271...

I'd say skill screen is half of the game !

I've used the scroll and, well, I have to say it, I've been really lucky.
A longbow of freeze

well to be honest I'm mostly concerning myself on paper, as actually I'm in spider nest at the moment and I am PULVERIZING things at a very high speed with the ele whip. I know that sooner or later this will end, and maybe vault is where I'll start finding myself in trouble. I think I'll follow your...

:-( Elf 3, and i died. So stupid I've been, why Elf 3??? WHY ELF 3???? Hi Everybody, after digging grave after grave I feel confident this little bug is going to make it :-) So far he is doing great, everything splash into his carapace but I am a little bit concerned about the weapon. I'm using an e...

just wanted to say "thank you" because this is the game I play the most, and since most time :-)

Don't wanted to spam too much messages so I edited this one. I've restarted with a DDNe, and he is going really well. For once the vamp touch is doing what it is supposed to do, I've found death staff, I have a good Axe and I'm level 14 - which is a record to me. At the moment I'm training EVO to po...

I forgot to thank you all :-)

Mummy is dead but the DDNe is enjoying your suggestions

thanks guys.
Am I supposed to punch them sooner or later? What should I aim as my necro-super-spell once I'll step in the late game?

Hi, finally one of my little mummies survived the early game, and now I'm facing lair without much firepower to deal with the lvl 6 demons ending. What usually you do with Ne? I mean I've found this marvellous trident of pain, I have my backup knight, I'm training polearm and necromancy but what am ...

Hi, I went with device recharging because, as far as I've understood Pakellas, it is better to have a small mana pool than a larger one for which concern its mechanics (the full mana recharge, and the creation of potions). So - if I got it right - it's not important to have 20 mana points, instead o...

Hi everybody, hoping for an advice from you dungeon crawl gurus: besides constantly recharging my heal wand, struggling to obtain the MP necessary killing stuff, before running out of HP, I should only hope to find a vampiric axe to heal my DD, am I right, or is there some mechanic I'm not consideri...

thank you both guys, I've found that the crossbow perform very well even without traning but I have to say that it does not match a lot with the magic user playstyle. I found better to wield a staff of power and spam the newly found freezing cloud :-)

Cheers!

Hi everybody, after splashing a hundred of MuIE (I love this combo but I'm really bad with this game...) this toon is doing things properly: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.19-a0-630-g098d46c (tiles) character file.

wow thanks a lot i didn't knew it was possible!

Hi tv1990 I was intrigued by your FoAM but I'm not having the same skill as you :-)

In which order did you trained his skills, and what you did in the early game to survive?

no worries: ive been sent into the abyss and I horribly died to some blue blob.
I fucking hate this game.

apologies one last question: do you think shall I invest in it my scrolls of weapon upgrades?

no i am not, I'm only concerned about the +9mp that were sooo good to have and allowed me not to wear the ring with the same talent.
Thanks for the hint, I'll try to live for some time with the whip and I'll see how it will go!

Hi everybody, update here :-) I am clearing the vault and so far things are going well. Some thrilling moments (1 HP) but well, I'm not good at the game, I know that. This is my current dump: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.18.1 (tiles) character file. Arudoru the Warrior (Gargoyle Earth Elementa...
