I know about dragon hide and dragon hide armor, but does "Xtahua" dragon hide do anything special, or is it just normal dragon hide?

Code:
easy_eat_chunks = true easy_eat_gourmand = true easy_eat_contaminated = true

How do I do this? Where do I find "init.txt"? I'm in tiles for OSX.

Yeah, starting with one would be a bad idea.

That's a recommended strategy, but "supposed to be"? I like Jiyva because he's fun.

Well, I'd love to convert to Jiyva early. A fun for me would be "Mutant". Start with worshiping Jiyva, and semi-random abilities like the wanderer. Maybe the race's training in favored weapon, favored school of magic, and dodge (depending on race). Like the wanderer, but a little more guid...

I'm through dungeon 11, and I haven't found a Jiyva altar. Is it hidden? I read somewhere that all altars load in the first few levels. Is this true? This was a Lugonu Ecumentical Temple load, would that effect it? If the Jiyva altar is hidden on a dungeon floor, how can I find it? Would "dista...

I have a "+2 robe of Feasting". It says it give +4 Str. Does the feasting tag mean anything else? Is it gourmand?

I had stealth train while resting in .7... Does it train if you have xp in pool and rest where there be nasties?

I've found an Iron Golem guarding a Cheiribos altar before, which seemed kinda ironic.

I'm thinking of trying out Enslavement. How does the permanence thing work? Does Enchantments need to be high relative to target's level? My Enchantments is 20 (It has been "off" since 14).

So I'm learning that some skills are good to turn off after a certain point because there are diminishing returns. My question now is - which skills, assuming you are using them, are good to train all the way to 27, and leave on permanently. I think the following: Unarmed Combat Fighting Dodging Ar...

NM, I found "praying" paralyzes them briefly.

I'm about to enter the slime pits, and I worship Jiyva. Is there any way I can stop the slimes from eating all the great loot at the bottom?

So it sounds like my original plan of vorpalizing a plain quickblade and then enchanting it up to +6+ or whatever is still good. I can still cast frost aura brand on it, right? Could I also frost brand a firebrand blade?

What about just Vorpalize on a quickblade?

Well, I did a little research, and now it looks like Scroll of Vorpalize make permanent a temporary brand. Does that really work?

Yes, you get more hits in per turn. A dagger of speed with haste isn't very good, even with might. It'll takes a long time to kill anything dangerous in melee. You'd be better off finding a sabre of speed or a branded quickblade. Being a SpEn, I'm pretty stabber-focused, so a branded quickblade is ...

Having read the delay and attack speed articles, the one detail I have yet to figure out is, if this is a turn-based game, how does attack speed help? Does it mean I can take more attack turns per bad-guy attack/move? I've stored a vorpalize weapon scroll, and a bunch of enchant weapon scrolls, hopi...

Is there a way I can bring the food cost of Haste and Invis down? Would raising Enchantments help at all?

galehar wrote:For melee weapons, the point of diminishing return is when you max your attack speed, which for a long sword happens at skill level 14.

When does it happen for short blades and slings? Is there a nice chart somewhere?

Don't wear Archmagi unless you're playing trunk, where the XP penalty is removed. As SpEn I'd just look for some ego robe (try on every glowing/runed robe, fun times) or maybe the troll leather, although it does increase your metabolism. I've never bothered with dragon armour on a Spriggan (you'd w...

Hi all, I think I know that a lower evasion rating correlates with armor that is harder to cast spells in. How much? Should I worry about it? Here is my situation: I'm a level 15 SpEn (Enchantments 17), and I just finished a labyrinth. I can choose to wear the following armor: +1 Ice Dragon Armor AC...

Jivya sounds really awesome for the mutations, but those jellies going around eating all the stuff on the floor just kill it for me. Jiyva's a selective god. You gotta love the jellies. I do, or rather Sproing the Spriggan Enchanter, does! He's Jiyva's shadow of doom, lurking like a twisted reject ...

Okay, newbie question:

What commands do I use to the software to drop a specific number of an item I'm carrying, or pick up a number of something on the floor. For example, I have 30 honeycombs, but I only want to pick up and carry off 5 of them.

Do I need to be unarmed for it to work, or can I be wielding a dagger and buckler?

Hi all,

What do the crazy Jiyva mutations do? Like acidic bite, my saliva drips acid. Does that do anything particular?

I hope when I find the hive, I'll be able to collect enough food before the slimes eat it all to set up a nice food stash. With my shrimpy spriggan body, that might be hard.

I started a new game, and trying the spriggan enchanter worshiping Jiyva. Well, slimes everywhere is nice, but I'd like to set up a stash. So, if you worship Jiyva, and slimes are everywhere consuming your stuff, where do you set up your stash? Is the Ecumenical Temple safe?

I'm going with the first, as I have basically no melee skills.

Hi all, again.

You've super helpful with my fire wizard, who is somehow amazingly still alive, and I think you all have a lot to do with that. Lv 20 is the highest I've gotten.

Well, which robe would you recomend?
+2 Robe: rF+ Str+2 Int+1 Stlth++
or
+1 Robe: rF+ EV+4 Dam+2

What about Staff of Conjuration vs Staff of Fire? I mostly use fire spells, but I also use Meph Cloud, Orb of Destruction and Mystic Blast. Does the Conj Staff increase damage, or casting success, or what?

Playing a wizard, I found a +15 shield artifact with -5 EV, for -10 EV total. Is it worth wearing, rather than my simple +3 shield of positive energy? The end resulting stats are EV9 Shield29 or EV19 Shield17 with Positive Energy. My shield skill is 1, and my dodge skill is 7.

Remember that you have potions, scrolls, and/or wands. If something's too hard for you, use more potions, scrolls, and wands. I have found so many wands and potions that I never end up using. I'm afraid of "wasting" them. This advise reminds me that I should err toward using them more. Do...

Wizardry helps with spell success rates. So you should only be wielding that if you've got otherwise unreliable spells you need to cast... Do the bonuses from rings & staffs of fire stack? It sounds like I shouldn't worry about my Wizardry, then, as my success rates are high. Staff of Fire and ...

Which staff should I use? I'm a Fire Wizard, with some utility and irresistible spells too, like Repel Missiles and Mystic Blast. I carry a Staff of Energy for my honeycomb spells, like fireball, but I have a Staff of Wizardry and a Staff of Fire. Should I go Fire with Bolt of Magma, or Wizardry wit...

I have been given a mess of books by vehumet. I wonder If I stash these books, will he give the same ones to me again? Do I have to be carrying them all to make sure he doesn't give me a repeat? My little Kenku isn't that strong, and these books are heavy!

Where do I find this information? I'd love to know the ds of Bolt of Magma and Fireball, too, for comparison, and range. What is the best long range fire or conjuration spell. I'm still using throw flame. I also use orb of destruction, but it's slow, and inaccurate and MP expensive. If there is a r...

At max power, Throw Icicle does 3d20 damage, 25% of which is resistible by rC. IMB does 2d28, all of which is irresistible. Stone Arrow does 2d12 in 0.7, which is awful, but 3d11 in 0.8. Where do I find this information? I'd love to know the ds of Bolt of Magma and Fireball, too, for comparison, an...

MrMisterMonkey wrote:Note that the 1s are permanent (so you get exp from them (and demon whips from balrugs))

This has all been great advice. As only level 13 or so, I think I'll stick with Vehumet for now.

That said, what are "1s"? Could you explain a little more?

Hi all, I'm pretty new. This is the first time I've gotten far enough to wonder about changing gods. I'm a Kenku Wizard, specializing in Fire and Conjuration. I've already got most good fire spells, and I have the book for firestorm, so I'm thinking about leaving my religion, Vehumet, because I don'...

Is there any way to sell stuff?
