I can't agree at all that currently divine energy is somewhat equivalent to +MP since it disables casting for ~5 turns when used. Channel magic gives ~5mp per turn, so I find it better to never ever use use divine energy once i get channel magic and 10 invocations. I guess having -cast only while in...

As I've played more games with new SifMuna I'm ending up really liking it, it's just the first power that I dislike a lot, I wish it got replaced with +magicpoints, like a ring of magical power that scales with piety.

Their entire point is to make Depths harder. e: like, that's the whole raison d'etre of them. To be a scary, out of place threat, in Depths. I'm not against that, but most games see 0-3 in depths, and then they just stick out so much it's like a mini-boss floor. Anyway, leaving the few that spawn i...

Currently caustic shrikes are some of the hardest monsters in a 3 rune game. Not just gimmicks but big numbers in all categories. Looking at my past morgues it looks like I normally meet 0-3 per game, with the very rare 5-10. I almost exclusively meet them in Depths, where they can be the biggest ch...

Well done! Wondering though, made a search and saw very few mentions of caustic shrikes in your morgues, so how do you deal with them? I consider them possibly the greatest threat in 3 rune games after the early game, for most characters I avoid them or lock them up in closed rooms or when in packs ...

The distortion weapons I've had the most fun with were quickblades daggers and polearms. With most other weapons I found distortion to quickly flip between awesome and rage inducing, while those were a bit more consistent in making me enjoy playing crawl.

I like your proposition more then the one i had some time ago, but in case it doesn't catch on for whatever reason I'll just add it here again: pressing * in memorize screen shows all spells available everywhere, choosing to memorize a spell from that list makes the character run to a location of th...

Thanks for sharing, I'll try it out when i get home tonight. The options guide doesn't have chunks_autopickup, i hope it works! Also I don't think any of those will automatically butcher all corpses, I hope I'm wrong, my goal is to reduce all interactions with eating as much as possible, including n...

Hi, is there a way to auto-butcher every corpse on autoexplore? I just went through http://crawl.akrasiac.org/docs/options_guide.txt and didn't see something like that, but I guess I might have missed it...

It sounds like you play webtiles in firefox, which has slowdowns when water tiles are on screen. If you play with chrome water tiles don't cause slowdowns, therefore shoals is as fast to play as everywhere else.

ps: i dislike chrome so only use portable chrome to play webtiles

Currently in a game with new Sif Muna god, cleared all the way to zot door and with 2 runes, new Sif Muna god is feeling good at end but not good at start. However +cast ability feel terrible all the time. Reason: If I use +cast to cast 1 spell, I can't use magic potion, channel magic, channeling st...

They all do a lot of damage with the relevant skills leveled up, so they're perfect to tab through the hordes of chaff that arent immune, which helps save mana for spells for actual threats.

The current non enhancer staves have their moment when their are effective, but I find each of them to be no fun, I'd like to try to change that with the following suggestions: - remove current staves of energy / wizardry / power - new staff of power: reduces spell and ability failure chance, reduce...

Just want to warn you that this is actually really hard for most combos. I recommend keeping vault5 as desert, clearing vault5 while holding the orb is one of the most hard but fun and fair challenges in crawl. Hell is even less fun then usual though, expect some super bullshit deaths in there. My p...

I dislike channeling so much as it is, it is so tedious yet so good, I would much prefer if channeling instead reduced MP costs by 1 for all spells.

dont worry no one on tavern is judgmental

Looks magical.

- Digging walls with summon elemental. - Using earth elementals to kill orbs of fire and many extended bosses - Using earth elementals to tank everything while killing everything with bolt spells - Using air elementals to kill almost everything If i remember right, only summoning/air/earth 10 were n...

If it isn't a legitimate win, the crawl body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

I think you also need to delete from your cache and from your bookmarks in chrome.

The main issues for me with those monsters are:
- the pack that sometimes spawns at the end of spider branch are wildy more powerful then anything else there
- otherwise they just have such big numbers in everything and no weaknesses, they feel like they belong in zot as an end game monster

Ok thanks for the info chei, I just checked and saw everyone, I must have logged in at the worst times yesterday.

On that matter, which is the social server now? I played a bit yesterday noon and yesterday really late and when I checked I couldn't find any of the regular webtiles crew on akrasiac and 2-3 others.

What the hell starts am i getting: spear, blowgun +12poison needles, book of minor magic.

Quarterstaff, bow, and stone of tremors :O

Many moons ago i went to south america to do a thing, while there one of our guides wanted to impress us so he brought us his girlsfriends pet tarantula in it's cute little plastic box. Dude packed it in his bag but forgot that spiders need to breath to live, so the giantulla died. Was still scary t...

If you play webtiles on firefox water slows the game down immensely. If you play on chrome water doesnt slow the game down.

Not all wanderers, starts are highly variable, so i've survived many of those with whatever was the special item, but i've died even more times with a junk start surrounded by dogs or after 1-2 snake bytes.

Well, this is about as much good stuff as can be packed in a single start: a spear, a potion of heal wounds, a potion of haste, a wand of random effects. Haven't had a start with an elemental evoker for while sadly.

Lately i've been putting a lot of wanderers through the trials of tab, so i probably squashed over 100 potential heroes just these last 2 weeks. Doing that I've noticed something, that very roughly 1 in ?? starts are borderline impossible to survive. Those starts are the ones where an adder or a pac...

Be careful, they are out to get you...

The best thing about necromutation is I hate food.

Thanks!

Hello peoples, may I inquire as to what the password is?

The most important thing about ballz is that they hurt them a *lot* more then they hurt you. Also: - ballz block hexes - ballz can be detonated with most projectiles (including penetratings) and many spells (all single target damage spells and for multitarget damage spells deconstruction and firesto...

In my current game I found an artefact of harm with lots of good stuff on it very early and I really wanted to like it and wear it forever since it makes some spells pretty silly (clouds are dumb without it and much dumber with it), but in the end I had to dump it because it's like playing with -25%...

The most unquiet yet the least unfun spell is lightning ballz. You just have to go for it.

Perhaps it's time to introduce partial teleports:
- Ring of pTele: randomly teleport your ring slot somewhere in the dungeon until you find it again

I can just feel the gameplay opportunities.

For real, roll wanderers and quit/restart until you get an elemental evoker, you gotta try it at least once, it's really fun and funny!

I have died many times to juggernaut before i learned their details, i really wanted to complain a lot (and maybe i did??) but since I know them now I rarely care much anymore. This monster really feels like the pinnacle of of what is called spoiler here though. It was one of the biggest threats in ...

I believe the change went in during 0.16, and jellies were changed in 0.17. Essentially, if you've seen an item, it's off limits for monsters. Jellies can't eat items you've seen, monsters can't pick them up, etc. Monsters can still effect items if you haven't seen them. Alright thanks, that's what...

I find sif most fun to experiment with the billion of spells and combo them in interesting and unoptimal ways. Ashe though is for winning, all the spells at half the xp cost is something different.

So I understand the rules on monsters picking items were changed but I'm not sure what they are exactly. Anyone can make a brief summary and say if it's in 0.16 0.17 or trunk that it's done?

Would be quite nice if when spectating a game in webtiles and the player stops/dies it would still be possible to see the chat box and the final screen.

Rawwrrrr just want to have a use for this scroll more then once every mummy life cycle.

As it is I seem to normally find 1-2 branding scroll in a 3 rune game, and I don't use them because I'm worried that I'll make my enchanted weapon worse. I almost only ever get use out of this scroll if I read ID it and I don't have a branded weapon yet. Would it be so terrible if this scroll let th...
