I completely stopped drinking benemut just because of Horns/Hooves/Claws. As far as curemut goes - lately I've been getting enough of those to chug them whenever something dangerous pops in my A window. Frankly, you can ignore whatever's not impairing you at the moment - for instance -MP, WildMagic ...

Hello everyone,

I have a GrFE in the works and everything is going well so far.
However, I'd really like to make a switch from Veh to Makhleb once I have decent Evocations that will permit me to use the Staff of Energy and CBOE.

How tough is Veh's wrath?
Is this a remotely good idea anyway?

Cheers!

Isn't Freeze subject to AC too? And even if it's not and you can kill the ghost with it, staying in melee range with a GrGl wielding a lajtang is not the smartest thing you can do.

Hrm. Might also be one of the RC files. I really have no idea what it does (except for moving messages to the top).
It was either your init/RC ro I got it somewhere between versions from the default init.

In any case, loving the init/RC files you made!

Last time I did it was with a GrFi of Makhleb. Though I did have a broad axe of holy wrath and 27 Evo (Lamps of fire aww yeee).

With SustAB you'll be more or less immune and they will do absolutely nothing. I had a Chei ghoul in Abyss last time even. In 5000 turns I had received only 1 point of stat drain.

I haven't tested the viability of rMut.

If you use your phone's "menu"key, got into Preferences and then Character Files... you will find the morgue file of your char.

This port is one of the best things ever. Got my first ever ascension on my phone.

FTFY.

De-flavourized it, rather.

For anyone experiencing the issue, this was the cause:

tile_force_overlay = true

Taken from HDA's init files.
It seems to have no effect on the WebTiles version, however, it forces the messages to the top for the offline version.

This can be closed or something.

Heh, I see that in the default init this is set to "True". And I've noticed that the default values are usually the opposite of the ones you can uncomment. I clearly remember that some time ago, messages appeared at the bottom by default for tiles. In the end, I need to download 0.15.2 bec...

I've not died to Elves on any character since I started doing the killhole trick. If you are concerned about the lightning bolts - instead of breaking only one tile behind yourself, use a wand of digging (if you won't open an entrace behind your character that is). Some of the Elf3 vaults will allow...

Hello everyone, I'm stuck in a hotel with shit WiFi and I can't really access any of the webtiles servers. Thus, I've resorted to downloading the Tiles client. There is, however a minor hiccup. The messages are displayed in the top left of the screen. I'd really love to move them to the bottom left ...

It's awesome in Zigs with Makhleb. Or anywhere else with Makhleb. Especially on a Garg (innate rElec). You need a good few points in Evo to make it actually work though (and do decent damage).

I haven't noticed resting generating noise. I always rest whenever I'm standing when I kill the last enemy coming at me. I'd usually push 5 immediately after a battle is over. We assume I am low HP here. I push 5 and a mob appears at edge of LOS. I would then pull that one mob towards explored terri...

Indeed, however, once I had the rods at two casts each and Evo at ~20 I never used the lamps. I kept them for Mummy levels and those never really came. Acid fog and thunder clouds wreck massive face. Also rod of inaccuracy - one bolt was enough to take Antaeus to ~half healh with 27 evo (200+ damage...

Finally! Managed a 15 rune win with fully cleared zig with no spells at all (had haste and silence [tomb] by the end). Almost lost this guy in Zot 5 due to hubris, but lucky me! Yes, I did play 1h Axe+Shield, kept Makhleb for the whole game and used Evokables extensively. Disc of storms is amazing. ...

Since this has derailed massively, I'd argue that Elf3, if you can take bossElves one-on-one is pretty, if not 100%, manageable. You just need to dig a proper corridor - two criss-crossing lines that break LoS except for one square. Then lure Elves through shouting and the such and destroy them one ...

Worst part of rods of inaccuracy is gathering knowledge when to use them. I really have no idea and I don't feel like learning. If there was a way to guess from the monster descriptions if the mobs evasive or not I'd consider the rod much more often. As it is, I'll just stick to lightning and clouds.

I massively fancy phials and lamps though. A recently discs of storms with high Evo and rElec. They take up to 30% of my inventory come lategame. And I somewhat dislike summons. It's all about strategy though and swarms definitely has it's uses. I would not waste a single rechanrge on it though - it...

Rod of clouds is now pretty weird. Until you get really high EVO. Then it creates clouds of acidic fog that melt everything. I used a pair of those + a lightning rod to destroy a zigg. Amazing for clusters of mobs. Inacc is very situational, thus I've never really used it, I just can't stop myself f...

When discussing crawl strategy most of us generally assume that the player would like to win the game. This means ziggurats are irrelevant.

Fair enough.

I might be coming out of the blue here but what about Ziggurats? I've had success in cleaning those up (I've fully completed only one) with a Gr wielding a Broad Axe with a shield and worshiping Makhleb. It's not the best tactic or maybe even a good one, but it does work. Especially if you have some...

There exists no statdeath anymore. Once you have a stat below 0, you start acting extremely slowly. However, you never die. I've seen people manage perfectly with 5 str on a character. I personally would hate it, but it's manageable. Stat-drain wise, I play mostly melee chars and have taken myself t...

Perhaps, if you REALLY wanted to. Post a char dump? What's your AC/EV?

Hi... anyone! I love watching games online while doing something else. Further, I like helping players do better with whatever I can. However, with a recent release, I am unable to watch the games themselves. I usually get stuck at the loading screen and can only see if/when a player opens a menu (l...

If you are "risking it" with slime creatures and have an axe at hand, always fight them in the open, they merge much less often and you usually fight 2-3 large slime creatures instead of a titanic one. Also, if you are scumming.... er I mean exploring Pand, make sure to not tab-tab-tab int...

Always armour. Except the first one that I sometimes use for weapon. Wand acquirement has been a disappointment for me. It has given me duplicate wands of invisibility over and over again. Don't do it IMO.

Read the wiki articles for pandemonium and hells, they will give you decent guidelines on what resistances you will need and what abilities are to come against you. You will definitely need an amulet of resist mutation. You will definitely need a way to stack rC+++, rF+++ and rN+++ (you might want t...

27 maces and flails was a waste. Get min delay next time (20 for great mace? better check to make sure) and start getting evocations. The Lamp of fire and the Phial of floods are completely amazing. I've defeated lv20 mummy ziggs with ~8 lamps of fire, believe me, they are good even with 10-15 evoca...

I've ignored eveningstars because I want to go axes. So, I'd like to say (and perhaps get bashed for it) that if you want to actually have fun and play a transmuter, you should stick with spellcasting and ignore the demon whip. If you had any more fighting or spellcasting (to make other-than-transmu...

Blink and spit poison. they go awesome together. At least I remember destroying Sig anf tge earpy game that way.

Exactly what sandman25 said. I just want to complete one. As far as melee goes, best run was a GDA full melee gargoyle that had max resistances and was wielding axes. I'll just carry on killing Gargoyes until I do it. I think I'll attempt some runes where I only get enough str for plate and continue...

It shows my current dump. Game ended in YASD anyway.
So far I've lost a fuckton of Gargs to Ziggs.
Best try so far was dying at Zigg L26.

Hello everyone, It seems my game forgot to spawn a barnacled rune of Zot. I've checked shoals like 3 times - exploring fully, hiding map, exploring again. Can anyone give me a tip? Or did I encounter a bug? Current dump: http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/Nordon/Nordon.txt Also, game tips are welcome. I'd ...

I think I'm gonna switch to TSO and eventually holy-fy the broad axe. I'll keep the healing on kills as per Makhleb and get invocations for those cure TSO powers.
Further, I might switch to ZIN at some point, cure mutations and go back to TSO... or something.

Didn't even think of Tomb. Won't rN+ be more of a bitch than slow healing? (=

Hi everyone, I'm having an axe wielding GrFi going - I've already collected the major runes, Mboleg's one and I just nabbed Cerebov's one. However, during all that time I've not yet collected an ammy of rMut. And I'm having a tough time scumming Abyss for one - I have the rune, but no amulet so far....

After about two months of crawling on my android I finally ascend. I love demonspawn. Also - awesome armor luck with the boots and body armour. No rMut amulet ever dropped - not even in the Jewelry trove (that I unlocked with a unrandart...). Here's an (incomplete?) dump: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup ve...
