15 levels of D feel like such a drag. 10 would be nice

also why no infinite inventory? whyyyy

bug: unable to raise merfolk corpse in deep water

also the inventory is not infinite

Completely removing the ability to back up has an unfun consequence if you are going fast and miss a piece of equipment you can't go back and get it. I missed a nice +6 piece of plate on D14 and didn't realize it until Orc1 and that really sucked. I could have easily gone back and got it otherwise ...

I'd very much like to see: - infinite inventory - MR shown as a number too (so you can compare to the x-v description) - skill progress shown like this e.g. 123/1000 (like in crash files) to indicate progress as well as "difficultly" of training for the next level of a skill more precisely...

Shops in dungeon feel rare, bordering on non-existent. If the idea is to phase out shops, that's great. If not, gold seems pretty useless without shops. Having to go to orc to cash in on your gold is a little too rough on no-branch conducts, I think. i tend to see a normal amount of shops in hellcr...

@hellmonk: some issues i noticed: - BiA allies behave weird when dealing with eels on land - Do the trapdoor stairs make any sense anymore? - Something about auto-pickup is broken atm. E.g., it will pickup a 2nd ring rCorr but not another AC ring - Does it make sense to show items from previous floo...

@hellmonk: two bugs i encountered: - the game segfaulted when i tried to x-v a statue (it had a whip, dont remember its name nor ever seeing it before) - the pick-up options seems somehow broken. e.g., i toggle pickup for all unknown jewellery but when i see a ring of see invis it is not picked up a...

that's how i feel too atm. Only playing hellcrawl

btw @hellmonk: my Mi was able to headbutt while swimming in deep water

Hey, just tried this first time. very nice. great work.
I noticed Ctrl-F finds stuff on previous floors.

Hey, this char has 3 runes and could clear Zot now and finish, but I wanna do as much as possible. I'm wondering what spells or other things you'd aim for now. I'm thinking about Air (Chain Lightning, Tornado) or Ice (Glaciate). I never done Zigs, would I require high level necromancy spells? Thanks...

Thanks for the feedback.
Two votes for rebranding: ok, I re-branded once and got flaming. Two left, keep trying?

Running fine so far. Got the two S runes. I switch between the +9 eveningstar of venom and my staff of power. I'm getting the former to min-delay currently. Veh gave me tornado, Chain lightning, and shatter. all at 100% fail lol. Questions: - i have 3 ?brand weapon. Would you risk them on the evenin...

Check your weapon and your shield in the inventory to see when they are at min-delay / min penalty. train skills accordingly. I think you overtrained shields, short blades and slings. Give the crystal plate mail a try. You want your strength to roughly be at least the encumberance of the armour. The...

pretty sure you can blink despite constriction

Was it random energy?

hi all, please check out my GrFE. Did tomb, vaults, abyss, swamp and spider. I got LCS and fire storm online as well as shatter (unused yet) No tornado book yet. I got both a maxed out eudemon blade and a maxed out double sword of elec. I wanna do 15 runes and just get as powerful as possible now. I...

Hi all, looking for advice on my GrFE. All going fine so far. Got two runes, cleared V:4, Elf and Depths is next. I wonder what weapon to commit to at this moment. My guess would be branding the double sword and putting the ?ea into it. Or maybe just roll with my current +7 long sword w/ rF, MP+9, w...

Wyrmbane is good becuase it provides +AC, a +18 enchantment, a 0.6 attack speed, and +RAGE. It also functions as a decent resiststick, has a super low experience cost, and can be used with a shield. I think it is one of the best unrands in the game if you had no weapon skill beforehand (but if you ...

Congrats. Get 15 runes with a TrBe next imo.

I would read scroll an acquirement, get a quickblade and brand/enchant it if necessary. Also read a stack of 2 scrolls, known fear can save life. Enchant the cloak. Cool, thanks! I forgot to mention I could also buy a +8 dagger, vamp, STR+2 for now, use ?acq for armour, and get a qb later in elf. W...

Hi all, I just cleared Lair and Orc. I was wondering what you would do regarding: - weapon choice, I got a ?brand weapon and 2 ?echant weapon j - a +2 rapier of freezing B - a +1 dagger of venom G - a +1 dagger of electrocution (weapon) P - a +3 short sword of venom I plan to save the scrolls for no...

Wyrmbane was fully enchanted at +18, used it with a buckler/shield and got a decent fairy dragon armour. finished with three runes, but wasn't trivial as wyrmbane does somewhat underwhelming damage.

yeah, also i can use a shield. I upped it to +13 and am using it now.

Hi all, I wonder what armour and weapon I should use for this char. I found wyrmbane, but I could also use a vampiric glaive I got a decent scale mail as well as the moon troll armour and several dragon hides. I kill stuff with my polearms, Usk, and spectral weapon. Works ok so far. Thanks! Dungeon ...

here's an update: 2 runes down, currently clearing Elf. I got a ?acq but already have haste and HW wands and 13 ?tele. So what should I get? Spellwise I am looking to get - regen - firestorm - ozocubu's armour and then I should be set, well, perhaps sublimation of blood? Skills: + Level 12.0 Fightin...

I had animate dead for a while, but never used it and figured my zombies would be in the way of my spells.
The plan is in deed to go fire storm.
I got servitor online, but actually not yet needed it.

Thanks for all the advice.

and into wrote:What books do you have available?

About glassiness: it was just a catchy title, because of DE and no heavy armour

Too many offensive spells, probably. Do you really use Force Lance? And IMO you don't need all 3 of Fireball, Bolt of Magma, and OOD. Thanks for your reply. Force lance is to keep stuff away from me. I figured a high damage one target spell, a bolt spell and an area spell are a handy mix of offensi...

Thanks for the advice so far.
I'll get Spellforged Servitor, I think I actually have it in a book already.

Are you allowing yourself to use weapons at all? To equip them? Just not to train them? Set your challenge condition explicitly. But first understand that you are setting a specific restriction / conduct, not "building a pure caster," which do not actually exist in Crawl. (My bad if someo...

I dont want the char to be a hybrid; really a pure caster. Stop training Fighting immediately, also find some rings of negative evasion and wear them to counteract the effect from your Dodging skill. That armour is also a bit too well enchanted, are there any negatively enchanted body randarts with...

Hi all, here's my first attempt at a pure caster. Just cleared lair and I have a nice set of spells going. But if something hits me, things get ugly very fast. I dont want the char to be a hybrid; really a pure caster. Any advice is very welcome! Skills: + Level 7.1 Fighting - Level 3.2 Armour - Lev...

lol that's some really nice stuff. what level did you find it on?

Sprucery wrote:There's no upper limit for Stealth, even though the display has a limited number of +s.

Thanks! that's good to know. So I guess that means for a stealthy stabber you just max the skill no matter what, right? Or is there some upper bound in the perception of monsters?

I had this one once and it had an empty wand of tele

Hey all, I was playing an SpEn^Dith and hit max stealth in the % overview very quickly, at 14 stealth skill. Am I right assuming that there is no point training stealth any further (except some stabbing bonus, that I didnt need)? I somehow had the feeling that I was a lot less stealthy than with oth...

Why not Tomb instead of Abyss then? With the QB instead of the pain dagger.
Getting mutated in Zot should not matter anymore. If you're sneaky you might need to only face OoF on Zot:5.

and done.
Thanks for all the advice. Caster are much more fun than melee dudes to me. Although I was pretty tanky at the end. I think I'll try a pure caster next time.

I can feel my first caster win coming... Cleared Depths and V:1-4. Got Tornado at 21% failure. I never even cast any level 9 spell before. Is Tornado good to clear the welcoming party on V:5? Do I use it as an emergency button in Zot or just to make things easy? Any final skill adjustments? I could ...

I'd go with the flail for now as the AC is good and it's at mindelay. Train fighting up to 10 or so and then add maces again.
Once it's close to the giant club's min delay or you need to hit harder switch to the giant club.

Hey, thanks for all the feedback. Just buffed myself spending all my 11 ?enchant armor to hopefully clear V:1-4 which felt quite deadly before. I could learn tornado, glaciate, and firestorm and work on getting that online. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.19-a0-1225-gf887c1c (tiles) character fil...

Update on the char. Things are going good. Just 3-shot the lernean hydra with battlesphere and iron shot for the first rune. I got iron shot, haste, battlesphere, bolt of magma online. I'm now using a +7 scimitar of flaming with min delay. Only thing I worry about at the moment is my AC at 18 (EV at...

hi all, trying another caster, they are really fun. No runes yet. Orc, Lair and D cleared. I have some questions for this char: - what to acquire? - what body armour to aim for? I saved 5 enchant armour scrolls. - i'm thinking about using a +0 rod of lightning as my cursed weapon. I could put 4 ench...

nice. congrats.

Here's an update on the char I cleared Orc and Lair, working on Dungeon. I mainly use Battlesphere with IMB at the moment. I plan to get Freezing Cloud. No bolt spells besides lightning available yet. I think I will amnesia prism and discharge. Long term I also want haste and deflect missiles. Any a...

You don't have any books so there aren't spells to aim for. You have plenty of magic skills trained for the spells you have currently, so I'd focus on more dodging, throw a couple of stat ups into dexterity. Thanks. I do have some books, but all stashed. I meant the question on spells in a more gen...

Hi all, I'm trying to get a caster char going. After splatting several DE and HE chars, this green DrCj is going fine so far. I just cleared Lair:1.
