Imo it's pretty much never worth it to even keep 1 or 2 enchant scrolls around, much less hoard them. The moment you pick up the scroll is when you need that +1 the most.

Lignification also heals some hp, so it can save you from lethal poison sometimes

Would you like to tell me about this?

There was some guy who posted some "dcss fanfic" but it was actually a horrible rapey cyberpunk epic that had nothing to do with crawl.

imho save ur parodies of conservative weirdos for when another mra idiot invades the forums

Don't bother remembering to use the bracket key imo, you can see a list of your runes on the # screen too.

Twice I've gotten to the orb, buffed up, headed to the first floors of the dungeon and forgot to actually pick up the orb. One of those times I was even sober!

Make wand of digging on floor X not work after you've been on floor X+1, then make them work again after you've picked up the orb.

volteccerjack was the ted cruz of tavern

we're gonna build a yoooge wall around the mines and make the orcs pay for it

Everyone knows castle vaults are the best vaults. Love the one in depths that's full of giants and dragons

The next planet was inhabited by a tippler. This was a very short visit, but it plunged the little prince into deep dejection. "What are you doing there?" he said to the tippler, whom he found settled down in silence before a collection of empty bottles and also a collection of full bottl...

yeh a real portrayal of a typical mans day would alternate angry and horny emojis

its too bad thanks can't be brought back to just cyc, all the cliqueishness and groupthink stuff that weirdos on this forum obsess about will still exist as emptyquotes and no-content posts

e: fuck didnt notice I was making same point as OP

There really should be a stickied thread with the title "NOTHING ABOUT LOOT DROPS/OOD MONSTERS HAS CHANGED" and then they can take it down when a change is actually made like 5 years later

get drunk and make a bunch of "how old is twelwe?" posts if u want to be shamed into leaving tavern forever

This rules, do one for a 4.1 winner plz

You must not have tried abyss as a qazlal worshipper before, that shit is bananas. Voluntary abyss runs are almost always really boring or really frustrating imo

e: remove abyssal rune and put it in elf already

If you want a challenging game that isn't dependent on dice rolls maybe play something other than a crpg?

y'all are forgetting to mention how much fun it is getting gifted speed and vamp randart GSCs from Trog. Mace trolls suck with every other god and are suboptimal no matter what but mace TrBe are a lot of fun if you like constantly getting big shiny weapons.

This morning I dreamt that danny devito set me up with a fight club fight with this nine foot tall dude who was all torso, like a caterpillar. He had an extra pair of hands on his head. "I'll fight you. I'm lovecrafty as shit!", he said as his head detached and crawled over my chest in a g...

O - Jism's Guide on Transformation
(You found it on level 3 of the Crypt)

All of mine have been boring except the one that started with 11 shields equipped at the same time.

A sort of side note to a side note here: I *still* can't remember if the +8 EV that blink frogs get from Phase Shift is factored into the EV reported by the bots in IRC. Since we're talking about things that are exceptional/spoilerish/NetHackish with blink frogs, I figured I'd throw that in as well...

They miscast every time they do something stupid like walking towards you instead of casting

I'm in on hypertraveller, thanks byrel

Anyone that sets up a new crawl sudden death challenge would be my hero

I'm a pretty hardcore behavioralist as well, though probably not as much as this guy is. It makes it easier to forgive people, but of course there are behaviors that should not be tolerated. A lot of people don't like this stuff because it leads down the dark road of evopsych and making excuses for ...

Clearly, the path of least resistance here is to switch fire resistance (rF) to heat resistance (rH). Heat resistance only protects you against heat-related rapid oxidation; oxidation from other sources (acidic, necrotic, sacred, profane) would of course not be affected. One of the main properties ...

Isn't Zot supposed to feel like it's designed by an insane wizard? Death cobs, electric golems, and killer clowns fit perfectly with that theme. I agree. But not only them. There are Draconians too. If I were a Draconian and had obvious advantage I would get rid of those annoying Death (just why) C...

Note to self: Saying someone has no balls is crass; calling them turnips is multiple-thanks-worthy.

I agree, its so unfair that people value funny ironic posts over weird whiny screeds about which playstyle is more manly than others

You say that like its a bad thing

it would be great if the game actually told players about that at some point.

Dith suppresses it in trunk, I don't think any of the other gods do

Yeah, I don't want to be even more encouraged to do dumb things to get a cool title (not that any of the suggested titles sound very cool)

IMO the whole point of playing with Nem is using cards, so if you are only using them in an emergency, what's the point? I don't really use them that often pre-Lair, but maybe I overestimate the chance of bad summons. This is why I'm confused about the existence of Wrath cards. The chance of gettin...

yeah, I'm surprised they haven't been removed or changed for the same reason as dwarven/elven equipment

more likely they put it on to fight a fire/ice giant and forgot to change it out

Balls are a metaphor in common use by all genders. And crass either way. The problem is that kind of single-minded, algorithmic approach to playing that breeds optimality. What that means is that eventually Crawl will become like Pac Man, completely beatable by performing exact, memorized sequences...

well if all you wabt to do is pretend you have the biggest balls in the world you could just play diablo 3

imo the worst thing about meleeing TRJ is the rng involved in whether your attacks end up corroding you. You just have to be ready to teleport at any point in the fight. After dying to him a couple times in a row I've been really careful to clear Slime5 and make sure all staircases from 6 are safe, ...

It's fine for UC characters or if you find a really good one-hander early on

So... one question about this character. Which I really should have thought of earlier. How bad is low strength (currently 8, could get to 12) for damage with heavy weapons like the great sword I'm toting around? So far, it's been fine - but then my defences and other attacks are strong enough that...

because those don't show up in that huge chart on yr score page

You forgot to tell them to skip the first page

but that's boring!

What's even the point of cards having a 0.1% or whatever chance of murdering you with trog wrath

I suppose this is getting somewhat offtopic, but I'd say that Beogh is better than Yred, if you are careful. It takes some coddling, but properly equipped orcs with polearms are stronger than the general gift spam of Yred. I'm assuming a 3 rune game, neither god really works terribly well in extend...

magic dart never misses, which is one reason why the damage is low

As file200 said, the sources with the information you want are largely not on the internet. If you are looking for hard numbers on exactly how many axe beheadings took more than one swing, that's not really how ancient history works. There is no absolute truth to be found, you always have to make co...
