Moot now, but if nothing else, Wyrmbane's 3 AC just from holding it in your hand, and it's a tiny amount of XP for mindelay. The new Vitality doesn't give more HP directly (the worse things are, the less regeneration helps you), but you don't indicate what other amulets you have available... Thanks...

Thanks for the advice, a lot of things seems to have changed in recent years. Still catching up.

Hi all, I am back to crawl after a hiatus, playing trunk and enjoying the Ranged Weapons revamp. Currently playing a Spriggan Hunter, who I want to take to extended. My solution for managing his low HP is using the hat of the Bear Spirit with the Amulet of Vitality . I already started training Spell...

Which would be a better weapon for an extended run? The Plutonium Sword or Maxwell's Thermic Engine? I am leaning towards the latter, because I can use it with a shield and it need less skill investment.

Killing one of these berserked 'allies' makes all allies hostile since you 'betrayed' them.

From my what I remember if you kill a bribed ally, only bribed monsters in LOS turn hostile.

For unarmed combat damage, both STR and DEX come into play from what I remember.

It's not worth it. Giant rocks, javelins and even tomahawks will do much more damage than any crossbow with much less skill investment.

Code:: the +1 hat of Negation {*Corrode rN+ rCorr}.

This was an easy run, thanks to Piercer in the beginning and the holy double sword found in Tomb 3 before the late game. I invested in STR only when leveling up.

How come?

Well yes, unless you go for the extended.

Greyr wrote:I'm of the opinion that HW should be removed entirely outside of TSO's blessing.

Well that would be more consistent.
Either you can get it ONLY through TSO, or ANY weapon type should have a chance of being generated with the brand, not only melee.

I was suspecting so, but never understood why that is.
If melee weapons can be generated with holy brand, why not launchers as well?

Seems unfair that Demigods can never obtain a holy launcher.

Can these be generated in the game, or is it only possible to obtain through TSO?

Does using a draining branded weapon still make you get less experience? I know it did in earlier versions. How much of a consideration should the experience loss (if there is any) have on weapon choice? Does having the draining brand make a weapon more desirable, or less? There is no experience lo...

In Bulgaria the fastest server is CLAN.
The very first Webtiles server, a few years ago, was also quite fast, but I can't remember if it was located in Europe.

The hunger cost is negligible.

If you are already Starving, you'd have to burn around 50+ books to get to 0 nutrition.

Sometimes it does have the demonic rune, not always. Usually has some good items also, but most probably not worth the hassle.

Cannot do it in Tomb.

The only accessible stairs are the two stairs leading back up to first level. One of them is where you came down, and I bet you did not check the other one. I leads you to the secret part of T1.

Preferred GDA to Maxwell

Why? The main disadvantages of Maxwell are -Tele and -Cast, and neither of those matter as a spell-less Formicid.

Mainly because of the greater GDR of the dragon armour and I also needed the rPois at the time.

Started with Gozag, then switched to Zin. Formicids make Maxwell and Cekugob wonderful items to have. (I had both in this game. Preferred GDA to Maxwell, and Cekugob came too late to make a difference) Shafting down to L7 in Hell branches saves you a lot of hassle. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0...
