While clearng Lair I got this sweet baby: B - the +2 pair of boots of the Ancient Tales {rElec rF++ rC+ Slay-2} (You found it on level 6 of the Lair of Beasts) As mentioned above, I think boots of running makes almost all other boots useless in terms of its efficiency, what with having permanent spe...

What kind of armor would a transmuter wear? Obviously not for felid, Octopode, and draconians, but whenever I play something like demonspawn transmuter my character always seem to take too much damage from lair and orc mine enemies and die a a result. Obviously you'd want to stick to leather armor o...

...beyond min. weapon delay? Or is it complete waste of xp? I wonder if it's the 'magic number' of an weapon skill training.

Code:: Z already shows the spell list

Does it? When I press Z I still get the message '...press ? or * to list all skills.

And if it slows down gameplay, I think having an on/off option for both ability and skill menu would be fine.

Pretty much what the title says: when you press a, your ability menu comes right up. This was a bit confusing at first cause I was used to press a twice, but it feels more convenient now that you can just press one key to see which abilities you wanna use. And wouldn't spell menu benefit more as gen...

I don't know about going without shield as an Op that early in the game. I had an Op win with a speed lajatang, but I only used that weapon after I hit level 27 and was in the extended. I had statue form to back it up too.

Whenever I use weapon and try to switch back to it after using blowgun/rods, I just click the weapon on the inventory to swap it. If I'm using UC and want to switch back after using blowgun I right-click on blowgun to get the item description page and press 'u' which makes my character unwield blowg...

I also think monster descriptions such as 'It looks easy' should definitely go. Even as a level 27 character with 45 AC/ 19 EV/ 32 SH and +11 antimagic lajatang, one should never get the message 'It looks easy' on a mummy priest . Sure my character can kill this priest in 1~2 hits (even oneshot if I...

I think once you figure out that the deck is either deck of war or deck of destruction it might be useful in certain situations...

I waste a healing pot on him.

It's not really a waste if that heal aided in taking out that fiend. IMO any consumables you use while taking down 1-tier demons are never a waste, but a potential life-saver by eliminating the threat.

Yeah I'm wondering if this is really a bug, or taking only 1 item from the trove means you just lose less piety.

Wow how does one manage to do this kind of thing

I don't recall what exactly did trove require, but I think it was piety because it said something about god forgetting you once you enter the place. I entered anyway 'cause Okawaru piety is fairly easy to boost, and found my piety level only dropped by 1 *. I can still cast heroism without any probl...

Following Zin seems nice, I actually ran a FoFi of Zin before doing this character (got splatted, but even at low invocation zin's recite helped a lot).

I'm concerned about Oka's wrath though... teleportation doesn't work, wonder if this character can survive it by fighting or running away on foot?

True, but shadowform does grant you 50% damage reduction along with generate fog on hit.

And I forgot to look at how powerful your character has become.

Time to put that shadow form to use, it seems.

Stupid question. Why do we have the data in sequel and not in the game? I mean why do devs put it in sequel if they don't want players to see it in the game for making decisions? Even as an option for advanced players so it will not affect new players. This has come up number of times, but for some...

Seems like a new monster called 'juggernaut' got added to the recent trunk version. I want to know its stats-hp, movement speed, AC/EV/whatever numeric values the game is not showing. Is there any way I can get access to the information?

Yeah, which is the reason I changed my armor to FDA. Can still cast hydra form if necessary, guess that's gonna be my armor for now.

Well... that seems to be what I'm wearing right now: +0 Steam Dragon Armor. Maybe I should look out for fire dragons for FDA? I do have several EA scrolls lying around. And if statform in extended is good, I don't see the reason why I shouldn't just use it now. I already lowered statue form failure ...

Didn't find Ozo. I got +0 Steam Dragon Armor. Still torn between the two options... Is hydra form that good?

Even just a couple of them combined would make it virtually impossible to kill them. I don't think every character needs to have all kind of stuff to clear the dungeon. Maybe if they appear in super late game (like mega-zigs) might work, but placing them in normal 3-rune game would be too punishing.

Just wait till you get your own fiends fighting alongside you. Spellbinder is really both fun & good weapon to have.

It's not going to happen, my patch was clearly refused.

I wonder if there's any way people can implement your patch...

Grats!

Orb run can be either really trivial or outright dangerous depending on your situations (i.e. sometimes you get seraph while playing as Ds).

Eveningstar is a good weapon, and distortion is usually worth the annoyance of sometimes having to move closer to the blinked enemy. If you want to take it off, you better be ready to face what comes after, of course. What state is in your character now? If you're like around level 5 or so you defin...

Hopefully 15, but that depends. If I think I'm not ready to take extended, then I'll just grab the orb and head straight for the win.

What happens if you get Ignite Blood while following Dith? Does it get suppressed?

And what happens if you follow Jiyva? Does it get suppressed as well? My old demonspawn got penance because jellies died in the flame clouds I 'created.'

Recite every time you get into a fight and observe its wonders. At high invocation it can one-shot greater mummy and I think it could paralyze/confuse Pan lords as well.
