Had +4 blowgun in inv for curar. For some reason I was thinking orb spiders had Rpoison. It probably would have been more fighter.was going to get that up next. Sludge Elves seem kinda weak. Apts aren’t too different from merfolk, and -10% HP hurt. Apts are slightly better than merfolk and starting ...

Yeah step from time Would have work as long as it didn't fail due to outright due to low invokations because it would have broken the memorization. bows were for spider and orb spiders, though I probably didn't need quite mindelay on shortbow. staff probably wasn't needed but got absorbed by blade h...

I used this guide to add Sludge Elves back to 16.1. I had already figured out most of the stuff needed, but the guide boosted my confidnce and let me work out the typo's. I may try coding an actually interesting race next. My coding experiancecome mostly from going though a online C++ tutorial.

So in other word staff of earth sucks for melee, except maybe vs hydras.

Meh I probably should have picked the demon blade then. I had this on a MiGl^dith with enough ?Ew to get either to +9 and was already past mindelay for doublesword. Was venom on the demon blade and vorpral on the doublesword so I felt the doublesword had the better brand as I was about to do spider....

according to learncrawlbd enhancer staves have a (2*Evocations)/30 chance to deal random2(1.25*(magic skill + evoc/2)) damage, with the staff of earth dealing physical damage reduced by AC. I was wondering if this bonus damage was added to the staff base damage and then reduce by AC, or if staff bas...

That scimitar is a very nice mid game weapon. UC takes a LOT of xp which you need for your spells and you didn't get claws so no special UC damage boost.

The sad part is I was starving but there were weak corpse leaving enemies on the level so I was trying to get corpse rather than "waste" permafood.

You buy an unidentified scroll of acquirement in orc with unidentified scrolls in you inventory. You look at you inventory. You see 4 scrolls of acquirement.

Last time I did Tomb I did it in statue form. Lichform is probably better for a caster though. The best advice I can give for tomb in stair dance, stair dance, stair dance. If you can avoid rot curses and torment tomb is pretty easy. As long as you stair dance.

Considering It was just before I got the Silver rune as my second rune, yes. he also gave me this after I finished clearing V:5 as dress armor: +0 robe of Honour {Int+2}.

+9 quick blade of glory {vamp, rElec MR+ Stlth+}
Gifted by Owaku... While I was playing an UC troll
I also found Wyrmbane the same game when I already had 20 UC

Game started out well, I found a Nemlex altar on floor 1 in a diamond vault. Got to enjoy pulling the storm card on a pack of jackals :D I found Crazy Yiuf on D:3 and killed him at range with evoccables. I picked up his quarterstaff and wield id it a +4. I figured what the hell I'll only use it agai...

I also probably should have invesed in borgs/ deaths door, since I already had some necro from regen, instead of tornado which I used like twice and it did like 0 (single target) damage compared to statue form+haste+might. d door would have saved me and borgs would have definatly saved me, a little ...

Rugged brown scales (HP), Robust (more HP), Spirit shield for essentially more hp (I think you see the theme here), powered by pain b/c power by pain is awsome +can give you mp back which can be turned to hp (I like hp!), and Claws (I cloud go UC if I chose mutatons from the start). Essentially a su...

Assuming you were already using long blades and you found a double sword and a demon blade at about the same time, which do you think is the better weapon for mid to late game?

Maybe I just don't know how to play Tm, but couldn't you just pick a stronger staring background then branch into transmutations?

ring of Thrizego {rPois rF+ rC+ Str+3 Int+4 Dex+2} Maybe not the best ring ever, but still pretty darn good. Too bad I wont get the use it much as I found it on Tartarus:7 after getting the bone rune. I'm glad I finished exploring that level :D U - the +9 blowgun of Wyrd {evade, Int+7} (You found it...

No. Axes take too much investment with demonspawn Apts and you can usually reposition to fight damagus enemies 1v1 anyway. Don't use axes outside of fringe cases and high apts (Hill Orc, Minotaur, randart +12 ex axe of speed with +9 str, FoFi^chei that can't run ever, etc). Also, YASD stands for Yet...

I tried MiGl^Chei/unarmed with very little spell investment and died on lvl 23 of a zig. The previous 3 floors had been trivial, then I got hit with torment+hellfire+slow with no rN and died. was the first time I had ever entered a zig. I think I'll try OgEE^Mak and play as a hybrid with statue form...

I would train Str. That is one hell of an amulet.

I ended up doing Orc before Lair because Nergalle showed up in Lair:1. Fortunately I got a very easy Orc:4, just a bunch or ogres. I got a +3 double sword of slicing from ?acquirement in a shop in Orc:4 hoping for a triple sword and a wand of heal wounds from the unided one in my inv. I just found a...

Thanks tasonir! That explains why chei is usable for speedrunning, but spamming 'o' still wrecks your turn count. I'm going to try 15 runeing now, and advice on race/playstyle/god choices?

You can definately count this one as a win

I like doing the abyss rune if I don't think I'm strong enough for V:5. I have even done the abyss before the lair runes (intentionally, I took an abyss portal in the depths)

I would say with bad apts like Mu I would go M&F or long blades and one handed. With good apt like Mi I would go Polearms/axes and two handed

It took me 3-4 weeks to get my first win (FoFi^Chei) but I was playing like 8 hr a day for that time.

Idk how my turn count ended up low after I worshipped Chei and used "o" liberally to clear all the levels

the +12 quick blade "Diseidi" (weapon) {drain, rC+ Dex+3}
(You acquired it on level 14 of the Dungeon)

Apparently I just couldn't play a MiBe for my first win. Kinda makes sense as the only class I have beaten nethack with is the tourist (I'm glad I switched to crawl. So much less grinding ;) ) Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.16.1 (tiles) character file. 1883841 golath the Conqueror (level 27, 223...

Code:: The +10 Rapier "Proguolu" {vamp, str+4}

Found when playing a DDAr of Nemlix on D lvl 9

Thanks. I have fixed that.

On this character I put off choosing a weapon type to see what mutations I got and choose unarmed once I developed claws. I trained unarmed up to 16 before reviving this ridiculous weapon from Trog. So should I continue training unarmed or switch to the axe? Personally I'm leaning toward the axe but...
