I'm doing a HOFi with Beogh. I just got a message that I can now give items to followers. However the phrase os too generic to search on the forum! Can anyone please tell me how I can get generous with my Orc cousins? Edit: It appeared in the Abilities menu, but wasn't there when the message appeare...

Oh yes? Tell me more! Are there easier Fi?

"It's a turn-based game." Sounds obvious, but there's an urgency that sets in, in tight spots. I used to end up playing faster. "In sudden crowds, look for the summoner." I used to fight off the summons, which is a Canute job. "Look up every single new monster ion the wiki w...

As of 0.19, what is the MiFi of spellcasting? I've never really tried a spellcasting character and I'd like a go.

I mean, a dominantly spellcasting character, rather than melee with some spells...

Thanks! will adjust my copy

I've got a Google Sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1px0MtoX8pzT8-OczhLi4iG16520xTgvg_Y79WrD0Fl0/edit?usp=sharing that helps me compare up to 4 weapons with/without shield, enchantments etc. It may be wildly wrong, but it seems to work out okay in comparison. It's based on numbers picked ...

Tiles. Always tiles, now.

If I'm not in a team, do I need to alter my rc file in any way? I don't need to be captain of a team with no members or anything?
Can I just start playing and it'll count?

Also on the servers, how do I (can I) get the same info display of inventory that's bottom-right on the desktop?

TIA!

Well it turned out to be YASD (slime in the Swamp). But I don't care I wasn't even frustrated - I got 11 hours of pure joy from that MiBe.

Based on good advice here, I've adjusted skills, got a first rune (spider nest) and cleared vaults 7. And the big wedge of stuff around the stairs in vaults 8.

It was a real shock. I was just thinking the nest was getting tough, and after this level I'd go back to the vaults, or the main dungeon. Then there it was.

This is going to seem woefully non-eventful to those who've won the game, but I just got my first rune, and I'm genuinely excited. I've been playing RLs since 1990 and DCSS for years, without much success. Then started to ask for help on the predecessor to this board. Lately, thanks to the various t...

After the earlygame, the main danger to a stash is humanoids coming over and picking your stuff up. Monsters don't "see and walk to" items they can use (or slimeify), they are only aware of items that are directly at their feet. Corners are unlikely places for monsters to path to. Thus, c...

Hi all. I'm mid-game, (D19, V3). My stash in the lair is a loong trek up, and not yet ready for the vestibule of hell.
What are some other good stash locations?

Hi all, here's a char dump of the imaginatively named MiBe: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.11.0 (tiles) character file.

Just strayed across the bat vault for the first time (at D2). What great fun to find something so unexpected and that I didn't know about before, so early.

That vault, right there, is why I love this game so much.

Can anyone please tell me why my MiGl is so hungry? Heavy inv in this dump, but stashing equipment doesn't seem to help. I thought jewellery, but I'm not wearing it. No mutations yet. Could it b the axe {pain, +Inv rC+}? One of the unidentified rings was hunger. Occasionally wearing it for short ti...

Did you have this ring on for an extended amount of time before uncursing it? It could have Hunger++ as a trait. Y - an uncursed encrusted granite ring {tried, was cursed} Were you wearing the ring of regeneration much? That increases your hunger rate while you're injured. The regen I haven't tried...

Actually, I've had trouble choosing! I got a god gift axe pf venom (and more) too. Is chopping the best of all the ones in the char dump?

First off, if you're using a weapon, unarmed combat does not help you in any way. It doesn't improve your headbutts or auxiliary attacks... ... Swap to plate mail when you can - splint isn't very good. Ah - I thought UC was helping my headbuts! Okay. I have some nice plate but the splint is my sour...

Any source divers know if there's any guarantee of eventually getting a poison resistant item? I'm playing the 0.8.0rc, MiFi picked up Trog at temple. Am now lvl12, 10+ dungeon levels deep, cleared out 8 levels of Lair, did a labyrinth, have god-gifted weaponry but found nothing with rP. Even a scro...

I want to get hold of builds before 0.7 to play with and compare and review. In fact, I'd like to get all the releases again, as I stupidly deleted them as I got each new release.

Does anyone have them?
