Hey, thanks for the advise (even though I didn't take it) .... In hindsight, you were right

I've been playing off and on for over a year, but after several deaths in Zot before and after grabbing the orb, this guy managed to go the distance. I was blessed by an embarrassment of riches on this run, I guess it has to happen sometime. - 5/5 ring of slaying and +7 vamp trident early on - pearl...

Insufficient information. You can certainly win with a demon trident (flamings not the best brand for Zot, but it still works). ...and with a sacred non-demon whip, staff of earth, or statue form. They're all potentially winning choices, just not all really compatible ones at the same time. That's ...

Piggyback question - my MiMo Turtle Knight currently has a flaming demon trident, but could switch to a scared scourge of holy wrath or a staff of earth (i'm trying to get statue form usable). Do I make a switch or stick with trident?

So I found the Staff of Wucad Mu at level 5. Had it maxed out almost immediately once I became a turtle knight, but then I stumbled upon the Ice Cave... One wrong step and I was transported between two statues that killed me before the screen even loaded! Who came up with that layout? It's brutal!

Sandwiched between an Ogre and a Jelly on d5 and quickly pasted. I guess we'll never know how that would have worked out.

I'm at a loss for what to do with my Kenku Monk. On d4 I've already found a ring with -hunger, +4 str, +2 int and -3 dex, a +6 ring of strength, a +2 buckler and a storm dragon armour. An suggestions on what to do with that? I can use the armour, but is it worth it? And what do I do to take advantag...

Been playing trunk build and lately I've noticed a lot of duplicates of the same items (jewelery, books, staves) rather than a variety. Makes me wonder at times if whatever item generation randomizer the system uses is not properly distributing or is stuck. Others may chalk this up to "crawl j...

I didn't get that from reading the article, though it makes sense.

So with eight arms, shouldn't they get more than one unarmed attack (not counting the beak)? And why does the wiki say that they're terrible melee fighters? Aside from the armour they have average aptitudes for everything.

I found a treasure trove that's asking for a +5 demon blade, I've got a +6 +2 demon blade and I can't get in. Does that mean that the +6 is too high (and I'm screwed) or do I need to get it up to +6 +5? I don't want to waste the scrolls if it's not going to work... Thanks.

This one almost made me throw my keyboard through my screen. Nothing makes me angrier than having an awesome find screwed by luck so bad it's hard to believe it's all random... I found a dagger of speed AND a vampiric saber for my Kenku Assassin on D1, my two favorite weapons. When I went down to D2...

I've been doing some dancing and have it at lv 11. At full HP it does massive, nearly undodgable damage. Than I swap in my quickblade to finish them off after my hp gets below 120 or so. In a pinch I can go berserk and put it past the +20 cap. I'm pretty happy with it.

I just got gifted the Sword of Power (appropriately similar to the Atma Weapon in FFVI). Is there any good reason not to do some victory dancing to get it usable? I've got that giant +4 to long blades from my short blades skill already. Beside that, it's the blade of Power! How could that not be awe...

Thanks that's helpful, yet surprising. You'd think +6 to str would be good for something aside from carrying stuff.

I managed to clear the swamp with the gong. It was an adventure. I even managed to survive a hit from the Lernaean hydra (barely). Still looking for a half decent replacement for the gong...
What's better, ring of +6 str or 0/5 slaying?

I just found an amulet of faith this afternoon along with the gong shield. Now I'm putting my useless mp to work for me, even if I have to invest a little extra getting my shields skill up to 15. And the weapons and ammo are pouring in...

What if I had a 3/10 crossbow of frost?

Thanks, so switching is out I guess. Now that I've found a +4s +5d robe and a poison sabre I'm feeling better about staying with trog anyway. Any suggestions for survivability? Like how big a shield is reasonable if I'd like a backup to my EV?

So after finally getting a kenku monk of trog off the ground (pardon the pun) following many frustrating early deaths, I'm now level 12 with a shiny +5 ring of slaying and a collection of branded crossbows from the ice cave that I just cleared out. My only trip to Zot so far was a kobold berserker w...
