Congrats!

Firestorming Tomb with a lichform Kiku worshiper is fun, unless they nerfed it. It's been awhile since I did extended with Kiku.

Congrats! I added it to your post.

After the chain of explosions, not each one.

After.

I tried immolation on Vault:5 a couple of times. It's a fast way to remove the guards. And it doesn't cause as much chaos as using Shatter, Apocalypse, etc. Trying immolation on TRJ sounds like fun.

I usually map the level and stair-dance. If the stairs get locked, then I either kill the warden or teleport down a hallway and kill whatever follows me.

Congrats on your 1st win!

I thought needles were changed? Well, that explains why I was able to needlestab lom in v15.

Cerebov is the only named demon lord who isn't immune to magic, so you could use a vulnerability scroll and confuse on him. It's probably not as reliable/safe as using needles though.

The Hells are like the Slime Pits: There's nothing of value on any level, except the last floor. And you suffer semi-random hostile effects to "motivate" you to finish faster. Pan is like the Abyss, but less chaotic. You'll get bored while looking for the runes. I think you could've gotten...

Maxed throwing skill with needles of paralysis and a scroll of vulnerability. Works on everything.

MuWn of Trog is certainly a unique 1st win. Congratulations!

Sar wrote:Actually SCreatures can get you orbs of fire, on Zot:1 even.

I never summoned one before.

I did a quick search and it seems you can summon anything, except orb guardians.

There are a bunch of demonspawns in Pan now, so getting Zin piety is easy. And Pan is less boring than the abyss.

Shadow Creature makes Zot very easy. I recently won with a FoEE of Chei that just spammed Shadow Creature and Sublimation/Wucad Mu. It always feels like cheating, no matter how often it gets nerfed. Shadow Creature can summon anything that spawns there, except orbs of fire and orb guardians. The onl...

The elec brand is good against most enemies. I would do Tomb first. Torment resistance, death curse immunity (they're simply necromancy miscasts), and dispel undead make that branch much easier. Did you pray for the pain brand? If not, get the Necronomicon. Revivification and Death's Door are fantas...

The dagger. Switch to the great mace for pain-immune enemies. Recommended spells: Apportation, Dispel Undead, and Sublimation. Raise Invocations to 12, if you plan on using greater servants.

Congrats!

Battlesphere (conj) counts as your kill. Servitor (conj/summ) counts as an ally. 1) Is it true that if you dealt some damage yourself you get more exp (75% if half for example)? How does that interact with monster regeneration/healing? 2) Do ball lightnings count as ally kills or you kills? 1. The e...

A lot of attacks in the endgame deal more damage than your hp. Your felid has even less hp than my spriggan speed runner. Congrats on your win.

Trog's wrath lasts around 34k turns. An amulet of faith will reduce it by a few thousand turns.

@Blade He's not a mod. That's downright depressing. The old mummy wizard guide was terrible, and very obviously so even to a casual player. 'Community-driven' is not an acceptable excuse for feeding newbies borderline troll advice. Who is in charge of moderating the wiki, and how did they end up in ...

If the guide is so bad and/or outdated, just delete it. The point of a wiki is that everyone can edit and improve it. Removing crap is improving. If the author disagrees and reverts the deletion, discussion an/or moderation can follow. Sure, it's possible that he is stubborn and insists that his cr...

Quick wizmode test, spamming shadow creatures away. You seem to be able to get pretty much anything but orb guardians, orbs of fire, and liches (draconians, dragons, monstrosities, moths, electric golems, cobs, clowns, toes, mummies). Though I could have sworn I had one game where I ran away from a...

My 1st ogre win took several tries. After maces and ogres got buffed I managed to get a melee ogre to Zot:5 on my 1st attempt (died due to carelessness). I think it was my 2nd game online. Melee ogre tips: Same advice as Blade. And don't bother with dodging. Get a dragon armor and train armor. By th...

+11 gda of lost wonders (rF+, rC+, rPois, rElec, SInv)

I was playing an ogre.

When I fought my illusion it's tile looked like it was wielding a giant club, despite me wielding chunks for sublimation.

I think confusing touch got nerfed awhile ago. It didn't seem as effective as the last time I used it.

Thanks, mageykun! This is my 1st win for 0.10. I haven't played Crawl since 0.9, so I was a bit rusty. Still, ogres seem to have gotten a lot easier. My previous ogre win was pretty hard. <snip> I went into 0.10 almost completely blind, so seeing all the new changes was nice. I like the changes to t...

Congrats!

The hardest build that I've played was a MuCK. The hardest build that I won with was an OgWn before wanderers got improved.

No, heavy armour plays well with god powers. Do honeycombs do anything special? I ask because they are in yellow, and royal jellies (also yellow) have an ability other than just being food. Red is for carnivores, green is for herbivores, and yellow is equally nutritious for (and can be eaten by) bo...

I have a crappy laptop that can only play DF on low settings and Crawl runs smoothly on it.

It's for any questions you think are too common or short to warrant its own thread.

Edit: That joke was too immature, even for me.

Eh, water and sometimes beer.

I've edited the wiki since DCSS v0.5 iirc and I'm a mod there. Every once in awhile there would be a sudden surge of interest in fixing the wiki, then things go back to the way it was. People lose interest quickly and 2-3 main contributors cannot maintain the wiki. And spam became a major problem re...

I did a let's play too! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzhFTAWcIgk I hope you win... it'd be nice to see another successful win on YouTube. I added your vid to this list of LPs (link below). I hope you don't mind. https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=681&p=7289#p7289

I have a question about brands: Which brands can I infuse my kobold's crossbow with via TSO, Lugonu or Kiku? Can I get a crossbow of holy wrath, or distortion or pain or are these brands strictly off limits for ranged weapons? PLEASE DO NOTE that I'm still playing 0.8. Those brands aren't available...

No problem, I ask what may be more than my fair share of questions in this lovely little thread so I like to answer when I can. And now a question of my own. In hell as you descend through a branch does it summon more monsters the deeper you get, or is it randomly weighted? I ask cuz in the past fe...

AtT wrote:How good is throwing spears or even axes compared to say javelins or even other random weapons?

Better than darts (dispersal is great though), worse than javelins and large rocks.

A week and probably hundreds of deaths. It took me about 3 weeks to win.

ventricule wrote:How come some players in the tournament have an 'extended' morguefile with statistics about each branch and list of vaults and some others don't ?

They were probably using lua scripts. Check your options guide in your docs folder.

Lessons from the tourney: The Abyss can still kill you at low levels, even if you haven't died there in years. And do not attempt to streak with a mummy, if you haven't played Crawl in months.

So... in trunk, there is a hunger hit on wield, but is no increased hunger while wielding? It's been that way for awhile. Does attacking with a vampiric weapon only heal health, or does it also satiate hunger? If not, would it be nifty if, while attacking with a vampiric weapon at full health, you ...

Heya Folks, I do Let's Plays for a variety of games on my YouTube channel, and I recently did a session of Dungeon Crawl (which I'm terrible at). One of my subscribers recommended that I post a link here, so here I am! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU3wgqFz40Y If you enjoy the video, please rememb...

I managed to turn a dumb as bricks KoBe into a tornado casting death machine. I focused on spellcasting, charms, air magic, and translocations. It takes awhile though.

Oh, I forgot to mention that giants in 0.8 can swim in deep water. Meaning you'd have to levitate over lava, which is harder to find.

@mrbobbyg

Why did you criticized me for using a demon whip with my MDFi, yet you're doing the same thing? :-?

I don't watch other people's games. And I usually don't care if they watch me. Though, I find it annoying when noobs keep asking me questions and offer (bad) advice. Spectators also seem to follow known winners' progress. Before my 1st win in the tourney nobody watched my games. Now, I usually have ...
