VS with that slaying is broken, I felt like I have rMut amulet, just a single mutation despite killing multiple OoFs, fighting 2 of them simultaneously twice. Got a panlord on D1 near entrance to stone-wall exit from dungeon, ran with it adjacent to me but then it decided to cast some useless spells...

Oh, I missed +11 quickblade and 15 slaying while berserk vs orb of fire. That's fun

I found an artefact shield in Zot but when I got adjacent it got replaced with iron grate. I used a wand of disintegration and destroyed the grate but the shield was gone. What is going on? Found a polished shield. Found a ring of protection from magic. An iron grate slams shut! Evoke which item? (*...

Even at XL 1 the racial bonus is noticeable.

I have just found a stack of 3 enchant armour and I guess I have nothing to do but to enchant that shield. Quite unusual. I am lazy to switch weapon so I use the eveningstar mostly because of rC+ and MR+, also I dropped a +3 ring of evasion for the same reason, rCorr is better swapping-wise ;) Dunge...

Ok, one more question. Found GDA on V:2, I have AC 31/EV 13 in it, AC 25/EV 22 in +3 scale mail of Fatonk (worn) {Regen+ Slay+6}. Would you switch, keep using the scale mail or try to enchant and give it to trove? I guess I should give it to trove, Slay+6 is too good for the character because of dwi...

d whip, next question Even 3 of them. 1. I got 2 runes and am about to enter Vaults which is full of paralysers/banishers/markers who can do it as first action after I come into their view. Would you a) use that eveningstar for MR+ and train M&F to 16 b) use that eveningstar for MR+ and switch ...

There is nothing wrong with training Spellcasting for SpEn of Ash, it has higher skills than normal and many of those skills have +2...+5 aptitudes.

Demon whip was found on last floor, I visited D10 after clearing Lair and Orc.
Ok, going with demon whip then.

I don't understand how players can play without using fsim. The character got the following: +6 demon whip (elec) {god gift} +8 short sword "Guzomox" {venom, rPois rN+ MP+9 Dex+2} (You found it on level 4 of the Dungeon) +8 eveningstar of Elikeq {god gift, crush, rC+++ MR+ MP-9} Which weap...

How guaranteed is "guaranteed"? Is it one of those things where the formula eventually spits out a 100% chance for the exit to spawn, presumably on a visible tile? As far as I remember it takes the same amount of XP which recharges lamp of fire to create a exit and double that XP to creat...

Exits are guaranteed to spawn after getting some XP so try killing weak monsters.

Were you a melee character with some utility spells? OgWz in GDA with Haste, Animate Dead and Warp Weapon, those spells don't care about spell power.

Either stop training Stealth or switch to lighter armour.

Ok, cleared Zot 5, going for all 15 runes now. Used manuals of long blades, evocation, transmutation, M&F, hoping to find more in Slime. The only problem is low piety, I had to clear Slime 1-5 to get back to 6 stars and now I am not yet at max piety (with max piety Statue Form is at 4%). The mos...

'Smilies' really help when you are writing in your non-native language. 'This generation' is full of people who write in non-native language.

How can I leave weapon/ring slot uncursed with new system? It is often a good idea.

ichbins wrote:I like the idea of a transmuting troll

Normally I would say to use GDA (Str 33 so early, wow) and ignore Statue Form but with those rings you don't need GDA so you can go for Statue Form if you like (especially if you are going to do extended).

Edit. Your mutations make me wonder if I should stop ignoring mutation roulette

You may want to use scroll of ID on wand of digging.

You can expect to find lots of scrolls of remove curse also...

Replacement then.
Join Gozag, you will have easy time in megazigs with potion petition.

Join: Ash, you will be able to decrease Armour skill to 0 when you get Statue Form for extended. Beugh, you won't need flight for Swamp/Shoals. Chei, you will have a reliable way to deal with Killer Bees Dith, you will be unbelievably stealthy in Shadow DA while still having great AC Ely, you will a...

I take it as curses should be removed completely then. I don't see how we can combine "Curses should not punish new players for experimentation" with "Curses should be relevant early game only" because new players die early.

So what? You dont get bad effects from putting on jewelry, this is irrelevant unless i am supposed to be believe harm is a bad amulet, but *drain is a trivial effect, so much so it had to be buffed, now its only harmful for spellcasters or hybrids. Maybe I misunderstood you. You are suggesting to m...

Holy Pan is one of the reasons I like doing Hell before pan.

Because wear-IDing exist.

and into wrote:It is redundant except for the "gotcha" of generating cursed and sticking player.

That's the point of bad items. Not "you will need to read a specific scroll as next action".

Removing curses would make trying any non-artifact item completely safe so all such items would need to be fully identified while they are on the floor. This isn't true as long as distortion is still a brand. As far as I remember weapon brand is already always identified for non-artefacts. Or was i...

Anyway, the correct way to look at this, in my opinion, is, "Are curses intereting/good enough of a feature to justify not automatically IDing non-artefact equipment?" . I think a better way is "Can we change curses to make them good enough to justify not automatically IDing non-arte...

Bart wrote:If there is a base item class that is unconditionally the best, then devs screwed up the balance somewhere on the way.

That would be true if the item was usable by any species. Fo can use large shield along with 2h weapon, Og/Tr can use the best 2h weapon, you can treat it as their racial bonus.

In games where ?rc is scarce, I don't wear-ID jewelry already. Very bad scenario (teleportation/loudness) is plausible and increases likelihood of dying by a lot. Functionally this ends up being the same as not generating the jewelry until later, except there is the additional pretense of a meaning...

Removing curses would make trying any non-artifact item completely safe so all such items would need to be fully identified while they are on the floor. Another option is to make curses matter, for instance, remove scroll of remove curse, make scroll of identify identify scrolls/potions/wands/arefac...

The funny thing is that heavy-armor melee is actually more adaptable than a mage with high int. You can use any armor that you find on the ground, and finding a single high-enchant plate or chain can be a game-changer to carry you through the early and middle game. I think you meant "high str ...

If you can cast Warp Weapon, you have already won long time ago.

Has anyone considered limiting skill levels/points in some way? With skill level limit, your total of all skills cannot reach more than 30 before 1st rune, 40 before 2nd rune, 50 before 3rd rune and so on. That would mean you stop receiving XP for killing monsters at some point. It naturally solves ...

I love short blades of distortion with Enchanter.
