Hello,guys. My current character is following Dithmenos and I cannot understand why 6* level of piety constantly drops to 5* without any obvious reason. I do use Shadow Step from time to time, but if it is so heavy in terms of piety that it drops the piety to 5* every single time I use it?

But part of the synergy is distraction stabs from your allies.

Please explain this in details.

Hi people. I have been playing around twenty games with VpEn of Kiku, one 3 runes victory so far, but I am never sure which Necro spells I should memorize. Any piece of advice would be sincerely appreciated.

I have read somewhere about Vampiric Drain + Summon Butterflies combo for regaining HP, but I haven't found that spell yet. Is it reliable for that purpose?

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think everything you wrote was correct. First, I don't think I should change weapons as the main one is cursed for Ash. Second, I believe the vampires are ***protected*** from torment when they are bloodless, aren't they? Please let me know how Darkness is useful? I...

Hello, guys. This is my first successful stabber and I have only had one 15-rune win with HECj. Please advice if it is feasable to win extended with that character? Hexing last game monsters doesn't seem reliable, and it is not easy to kill orbs and gurdians already (I use summons for that). If it i...

Hello guys. I would like to play online while waiting the next round in CSGO using the in-game browser, but when I start the game and decide to manage skills, I am not able to close the skill window as when I press Esc the in-game browser just closes.

I love High Elves. I love Fireball (probably the best spell in the game). 15 runes and 2 Zigs. I really enjoyed the game.

You can drop all useless items including rotten chunks (doesn't work for kobold and so on, because rotten chunks are useful for them) if you press 'd' then ',' to choose all such items then 'Enter'.

It was a false alarm. I just forgot that when I am using a wand of teleportation, I should target myself and then after 2-3 turns target the destination. Now everything is ok, I explored all the rooms, found nothing valuable and left for the next Ziggurat to find a decent gloves and rings. But anywa...

I used a scroll of teleportation and Control Teleport spell to teleport inside the room. It worked pretty well twice - it was the second room. Now I am trying to use a Wand of Teleportation and Control Teleport spell - but it's not working, I got a message 'You cannot see that place' (something like...

It looks pretty silly, I thought that a wand of teleportation with cTele worked exactly as a scroll of teleportation with cTele. Now I trapped with 10 runes :-(.

Overall, the thing you need to optimize most are your spellset. If you go in extended I'd forget some pretty much useless spells by this point: certainly imb, eventually if necessary fireball, delayed fireball and ood. Furthermore you lack some very good buff spells: repel missiles, swiftness, cont...

I've tried it in the game - the Elven Ring Armor does not change Spell Failure rate at all (putting it on and taking it off). I think it would certainly affect Fire Storm Spell Failure rate.

I would be glad to hear any piece of advice regarding skills and armor - I've never used elf armor with -2 evasion penalty and a melee weapon together as a caster. Try to find a Mottled Dragon Armour, it's excellent for casters, AC 39, EV 36 is good enough (https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic...

Yeas, I use the ring of sustenance for travel and places like Crypt. I have some food in my stash, but I always try to save as much as possible.

It seems to me, as you need to improve Evo with Vehumet instead of Invo with Sif Muna, you save your XP, because Evo can be useful with other equipment like staffs, rods, wands, etc.

In spite of the last post I decided to get 3 runes only, because I had some nasty mutations and then got more in Zot 5 (from Orbs of Fire). To play a roulette I quaffed 4 Potions of Mutations and got more nasty ones, then took the Orb and escaped. This is my second win. Draconians are pretty good, b...

Thank you for your advice. I agree that the loot is pretty bad. I put a ring of cold protection and decided to try to win with 3 runes.

I have plenty of food, books, scrolls and potions in stash. I have last 2 scrolls of identify, and I have 2 good art rings (so all the slots are occupied). Why should I spend the last scrolls for mundane rings?

Hi people. This is my second best character ever (the first one was DECj Ice specialization 0.11, YAVP 3 runes). I'd like to get more than 3 runes. ANY piece of advice would be appreciated, especially regarding skills and spells. Thanks in advance. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.12.2 (tiles) cha...

My current game is showing that a Shiled of Reflection is very useful against Orb Spiders (29% chance). It reflects almost all OODs. I'm not sure it's so useless as it mentioned in the Wiki.

Hi guys. I haven't seen such an amulet for ages in the game. Has it been removed completely?

crate wrote:I see you are also continuing the good tradition of carrying curare around so you can feel dumb after you die

Yeah, I feel dumb. I liked that character.

He's dead. I had no means to kill the deep elf blademaster. All the spells including Iron shots missed (he was too evasive). I think I should have used the Teleport wand, but I was afraid to be teleported directly inside a room full with elfs. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.12.2 (tiles) characte...

Do you think it's impossible to survive until Lair with, say, MuFi or MuMo? Wz is like Fi or Mo except it starts with a book. I don't know about other classes, but I definitely know that Mu is much harder to play than DE, Ke, Dr, or Mi in the early game. You should consider every single turn not to...

It seemed impossible to survive even till Lair being MuWz. I tried to be an ordinary Wz. Even with Summon Imp it was very difficult. My best character died at XL12. By the way, the most attractive features for me is free Channeling and no hunger. That's why I'd like to play MuWz (Wz due to the highe...

Is it feasible to play MuWz not relying on Summoning? I do not want to refuse Summoning completely, especially while you do not have any decent means to kill except Summon Imp. But when I'm trying to analyze character files of MuWz played by top players, I can always see that Summoning is above 20 a...

It seems to me that a Necromancer and a stabber are not the classes I'd like to play. Transmuter sounds good, but I think I'll try them later. Now I'm reading about Skald, but I need a good example at least. I'd try MfIE or HEIE, but I wouldn't say that there are really good fresh topics in the foru...

Forgot to mention: I tried to play Spriggan, but didn't find it very exciting at the moment. I might try it in the future though.

Hello everyone. I played mostly by DEFE, DEIE or DECj of Vehumet (before 0.12) and I have one 3-rune win (or 4 - don't remember). I also tried WzMu of Sif Muna a bit, because I love this idea of getting free mana, but I took the ultimate resolution: I definitely hate constant Summoning because of it...

My character knows Haste now and has a possibility to learn Controlled Blink. I'd preffer not to experiment now, because it's my best character ever. Can I use Haste and Controlled Blink at the same time considering magic contamination?

I played on my Samsung Tab 10.1 as well but I didn't manage to get used to playing easily struggling for control my pers anyhow. My characted always did things which weren't intended to be done. I had played the ASCII version before and it seemed to me more confortable to play mainly owing to the fa...

Actually the pers has already died. :-)

I changed my religion towards Zin as it had been advised above, but I didn't have enough money to obtain the ability I was longing for immediately. After that I just died not having any reliable escape abilities.

I'm playing a pure spellcaster now. I've found randarts {MR Dam-3 SInv} and {rF++ Acc+6}. Does Dam-3 affect damage of my Conj spells? Does Acc+6 affect 'to hit' of my Conj spells?

How long will I need to wait with ***** piety with Zin to obtain "Cure All Mutations"?

Hello guys. I had been doing it very well but suddenly the pers got really nasty mutations. I'm not sure about the cause, probably it was an Ice Storm miscast, as a result I got yellow magic glow and contamination, then some bursts happend and the character got the mutations. I think the character i...

Your post proves one more time all people are different, aren't they? I agree you are much more experienced player, but this game is played by noobs as well, isn't it? And you can check that I've got two thanks from experienced players for my post, which proves I'm not alone with this.

On the whole I remember what I have in my stash. Usually I can just go and check what I have (except some situations when I'm in Abyss etc.). More important thing for me is what I've missed. If I see, for example, potion of heal, I don't ask myself if I have enough of them or not, I'm just picking i...

When I'm searching for '..'

By the way, the game is wonderful, and I am ready to pay some reasonable money for it, especially if its interface becomes more friendly for ordinary people like me. Can I find out the way I can donate?

It's a pity. Anyway, thank you for your answers.

I got used to Ctrl + E, it's easy and you need to remember nothing except '.' and '..' What is the reason to type '.. && !!Temple' every time when you can just type '..'? I insist on 'Ctrl + E' is very useful indeed and there was no point removing it from the game. Especially taking into con...
