Hi Ajon, just wanted to say thank you (and ofc thanks also to the other people who gave an hint :) ), it's working fine with your strategy, I'm meleeing most stuff without big problems and Iron Shotting the biggest threats (like idras simulacrums), I've took the swamp rune and now I'm doing Orc in a...

thanks dracos, it makes perfectly sense.
I think I'll choose the crystal spear route relying on my morningstar - as you suggest - as a side weapon.
Thanks again.

After loosing my poor Dg to my inability to play the game and eccessive greed to obtain a demonic sword with ele, now Its time to Gargoyle a bit. Gargoyle always seems to me like "DCSS easy mode". I have one big question mark: shall I point toward spells or magic? I have Crystal Spear and ...

I hate this game...

thanks a lot guys

so, while training my long blades skill I have been lucky: a scroll of acquisition bestowed me with the book of the earth :-) no need anymore for long blade ^^ I also ended up finding a book of change: do you think spider form/statue form would be a good investment for escape/melee or shall I keep d...

thanks again!

your opinion on that: shall I invest scrolls on the scimitar or shall I keep it as it is?
Thanks!

thank you guys, I'll go straight for the elec scimitar, hoping to be able to skill it high enough before the monsters pulverize me ^^

Hi everybody, I love my DgEE, he is LvL 14 and is very promising. BUT. But, I haven't find a book yet, just translocation (from which I got Blink) but nothing else. Lair completed and nothing. Orc completed and nothing. Now I don't know what to do. Any suggestion? Thanks for any help :-) Dungeon Cra...

Hi, my lovely DDAr of Pakellas is having a lot of fun in the dungeon. At the moment I am in lair and everything seems to be ok beside the fact that I cannot find a suitable axe. I've used a scroll of acquisition only to obtain a nice +8 whip with curare and RPois. My axe skill is at 9.4 what do you ...

thank you!

Hi Everybody, I managed somehow to keep this guy alive and reach the lair even if I'm still blasting things with Freeze and Throw Frost. I really wanted to hibridize to melee and so trained sword and now rasing evasion, but I really have no clue on how to go on and I'm worried I've become "jack...

really lot of love to you all

thanks guys.
just wondering: shall I train the first good weapon I found or shall I keep raising the conj/venom magic even after my three main spells (sting/cloud/mass venom) are up and running?
Thanks again,
t.

mummy can't berserk what a waste!

Hi everybody, I'm having hard times with this combination, but I want so hard to succeed! :-) Apparently I cannot make it through the very first part of game (cannot reach level 8 nor have the cloud up and running). Usually I just keep increasing Venom Magic or I try to attain 3 in VM, Conj and Air ...

i hate this game

playing it since the bats had old graphics... I have lots of reasons to hate it.

I HATE THIS GAME.
NO, SERIOUSLY, I REALLY HATE THIS GAME.

Edit: I'm so sad.

Hi just wanted your opinion. With this little dwarf: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.15-a0-2130-g28e4b74 (tiles) character file. Jumanji the Grave Robber (Deep Dwarf Necromancer) Turns: 4127, Time: 00:20:01 HP 49/49 AC 7 Str 12 XL: 6 Next: 52% MP 5/9 EV 9 Int 17 God: Gold 180 SH 0 Dex 13 Spells: ...

thanks both of you.
I've found the book with stone arrow and statue form so I guess I'm in mid game.
I guess that I'll go with unarmed sooner or later, I deeply love statue form.
Thanks again,

Hi everybody, I need some help with my green wyrmling. I'm in Lair, at level 3-4 I'm starting to find useless the spells I have from the starting EE book, a ghost of a Troll of mine and a Merman told me that ^^, and so far Sif has not given me what i need beside maybe bolt of magma for which I shoul...

WHY? WHY??? WHY????? Why have I meleed that nymph with only 21 HP in Shoal.2?
Succesfull TrFi Lvl16 made following all your advice died in such a stupid way. He looked immortal, now his flesh will feed schools of fishes.

thanks you all for the advices, i'll try tonite my next buddy based on your suggestions! :-)

Thanks again,

m.

I am obsessed with the food thing so I was following Kiku... I know not the best for the green big guy, but I can't do nothing, I am really concerned he might die to starving

BTW: thanks a lot for the suggestions!

and what do you suggest on Lair as of UC?
Also: isn't dodge a waste of skills due to the inaptitude of Trolls? Wouldn't it requires a huge amount of investment to become viable?
Thank you,
m.

Hi all, a few minutes ago another of my Trolls died of an horrible dead in the Lair. What I don't understand is how you can survive with such an high damage dealer that has almost no armour. The big ones like hydras (but also the mid ones, like for example the winter wolves pack or the death yak) ha...

Thanks for the answer. Tedric advice is usually what I do in all my Crawl game, problem is sometimes, with some characters, I don't know what should come first, like in this case. If I had a MiFi I wouldn't have any doubt :-) Anyway the poor Octopode died to my own stupidity tabbing an hill giant sk...

Hi everybody, so I started this Octopode Monk decided to hug everybody I'd meet in my trip to the Orb and on level 4 or 5 of the dungeon I've found a book of transfiguration. Octopode and Statue form?!?!!? LOOOOOOOVE. Problem is I've always had this issue with what comes first. What shall I do now, ...

lot of love to you all for the suggestions and consideration :-)

thanks

Hello everybody, I've had a lot of fun with these rocky monsters and I wanted to try some cookie-cutter combination to explore the end game. This toon went to DL27 at first try, no need to adjust the "strategy", simply tab tab tab :-) Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.13-a0-2995-g9a84c3d ...

that said, I love challenges and I'll start training EVO :-)

Thanks for the informations!

Hi Everybody, I've found this rod with 9 (now 10 after use-id a scroll of recharging) charge with my GrFi that is using, of course, bludgeoning weapons. Is the rod worth the investment of the other scrolls of recharging and traning evocation or shall I leave it on my lair stash as soon as I have one...

edit: I thought the post was cerebov's ghoul but I see it's yours, so thank you twice :-)

yes i meant "extended" and thanks again for the answer :-)

definitely tonite will be ghoul night :-)

Thanks again to everybody.

i get anxhious. You never know if the next enemy will drop you a corpse. So basically I should play it like any other race in the game, and i shouldn't become nervous about the guy appetite? And in the late game, what do you do?

Hi Everybody, I've always been charmed by ghouls, their insatiable appetite, their undeadness and their sharp claws. But really I cannot understand how to proceed with one of them. They seems pretty weak to me, and I'm sure I'm missing the point as being always hungry and having your HP decrease if ...

Hi everybody, I'm experimenting with the Gargoyle and my beloved earth magic school and - obviously - the two are doing great together. So great that 0.13 looks easy mode to me right now compared to 0.12 (I know its just this game, and its just so far, I'll die in an horrible way soon). Anyway, I pr...

Thanks a lot to everybody for all the advices!
You made me (and my trolls family) SO happy :-)

Thanks again!

Hi Everybody, so I'm in love with Trolls. I've generated like 100, I'm not joking, and every and each of them has found an horrible death before reaching lvl 15 at max. Not that I am this guru of the crawl, but I had my lvl 20's and a couple of wins, but not with Trolls. Those green giants are a mis...

thank you all.
Unfortunately an executioner killed me in a very fast and ugly way while trying the last level of the elven hall... but I'm confident my next MuWz (thanks Grimm ;-)

) will be more prepared for all this!
Cheers,

m.

... and for some of us is good not to eat or at least eat less. My mummy doesn't eat at all and she's slender and ready for the beach... Ok, stupid things aside, this is my new toon I made up after being too afraid of continue with my lvl 27 HeFe: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.11.0 (tiles) char...

So, even reputing myself an awful DCSS player I've been able to approach the end game with the king of Vanilla, the High Elf FE. I'm at the last level of the dungeon, I'm full of stuff, I'm angry and ready to be angrier. I've already ended the game with 3 runes so I think its time to get a glimpse o...

died in the damn f****ing vault 8, for being too confident.
I HATE this game, yes really, can you die this way on the night of Christmas? Apparently the RNG will get zero presents from Santas.
I'm so sad now, I wanted to share that with you all.

Thanks A LOT to everybody. Now i know which way to go!
I'll let you know which gruesome death awaited me :-)

Thanks a lot for your suggestions Targon! Im so sad realizing this cool mace will not be a choice for too long and now im using it mainly to bash undeads. Since i want to go one handed and shield this time I guess ill try to find an interesting eveningstar and go with it. And since im aiming for a 3...

10 seconds ago Trog gifted me this...

Hi Everybody, this time I've been lucky, it doesn't happens very often. This is the dump: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.11.0 (tiles) character file.
