Thanks a lot.
I can't believe I never played a range-oriented character before. Well, perhaps once ... around version 0.7

It's good fun (especially with a Centaur with the extremely quick mutation)

While we are at it, can you effectively use a ranged weapon with a shield? Can you negate the attack rate penalty with a sufficiently high Shields skills?

Do they exists?
Is a blessed bow a good weapon for the extended game?

Perhaps you are right, I've never tried that. But it seems to me on levels with a lot of loot, like Vault:8 ot Elf:3, most stuff will get eaten long before you manage to get to it.

I started with Oka, but did not receive anything useful. Then after having cleared everything, except Slime, Zot, Tomb, Hell and Pan I made the switch. There was an altar in Lair thankfully. In my previous game (OpFi) I had to sneak all the way down to Slime 5 and convert to Jiyva. However when you ...

Anyway, the shield proved to be quite useful against the Orbs of Fire. That must have been the first time I was auto-fighting 3 Orbs at the same time with no rMut amulet.

Octopodes are overpowered. I find a melee Octopode much easier to play than a melee Ogre for example. But anyway, I tried another run with a melee Op, similar to my previous win, but this time I went Oka->Jiyva, instad of Trog->TSO. It was much more fun. The only issue was lacking a good end-game we...

I've just encountered Donald in a labyrinth.

The only way out of it would have been to swap an Amulet of Carity (which I did not yet have). Self-restoration doesn't work because you are confused and waiting it out doesn't work either, because the moment you recover, you get confused again. Luckily I managed to stepped out of their range (while...

stupid mummies...

Saw this in someone else's game, but stll pretty darn good:

Code:: the ring "Datal" (on tentacle) {rPois rF++ rC++ SInv}

Yeah, it's not that shabby if you don't walk around with it all the time.

Best and worst at the same time.

Thanks! It is difficult to get started. Slowly build piety towards Brothers in Arms and then use it as often as it is required. A nice weapon is important. Training shields is crucial.

I don't have a screenshot since that character died a while back, but did anyone ever see the vault with a bunch of one room 'prison cells', filled with all sorts of magic-casting monsters, but none of them can do anything because there is a silence spirit in the middle of them silencing a huge rad...

I have Blink on a randart trident but I've burnt all books so far.
There is a cheap Zig on DL:27, I might do the first dozen levels or so for better rings and perhaps then make the switch?

If I knew I could safely dump Trog for TSO, I'd probably go for some more runes. Should I try and change gods, stick with Trog or just ascend with 5 runes?

That's OK, I suppose, if you prefer to go this route.

How are they better than melee, say, humans?

No hunger, poison resistance, torment resistance, life protection, restoration ... Would you rather be a melee mummy or a melee human in the extended game?

Thanks! Melee mummies are quite powerful if they survive the early game.
This was my first 15 rune win without a wand of healing and a rod of warding/demonology. And I didn't even get a wand of hasting before completing the Hell branches. Cruel Crawl

Back on.

A double KO apparently.

It seems it was a browser issue, as suggested by the previous posts.

And that is quite strange because I had been playing Webtiles on Firefox (OSX) since it came out. On Chrome the game runs smoothly - no problems.

I have been playing Webtiles since it came out but recently it's been impossible to play because of the lag. I used to be able to play Webtiles from different locations and on different networks and it was fine anywhere. Now it's just frustrating for me. I think I'd have to go back to the offline ve...

Apparently, carrying the artifacts out of the dungeon doesn't contribute to your final score anymore.
But 3 days of continuous play, now that's a commitment.

I've heard about this strategy, so I will try it next time!

I believe the old trick of levitating continuously over lava doesn't work anymore (at least in 0.9) Last time I tried this (might have been with Oka) the monsters were still spawning and waiting for you to stop levitating before they attack you. So now it seems the only way to do it safely is to dig...

I'd definitely train evocations with this set of rods if you don't want to use other forms of magic. That rod of freezing clouds is worth a lot (clears elf:5 fast, and anything not cold resistant as well). The Ice rod also clears easily the infamous Hellion islands, which can be found in Hell or Pa...

Nothing that exceptional about yet another non-caster win. But it was my first without an Abjuration rod and Hasting.
