The situation that prompted the question was a god gift of my preferred weapon type, so I was happy to dump scrolls into it, eventually found a brand scroll and got around that particular obstacle!

...and not one that was being wielded by a unique or some other obvious way, no, this was just a runed melee weapon laying on the dungeon floor. But you've barely completed Lair, maybe you have a character focused on switching to ranged options. What to do? Roll the dice and risk an early banishment...

Alright Tavern Drunks, I think I've got everything set up for the 5 of you on my end! ...anyway to double check to make sure I didn't screw something up?

I too would like to play the game. Screen name is the same as you see here, cerealjynx no caps

That's not food, it's a drink! I pointed it out more as an indicator I hadn't prepared myself.

rHubris. How can we, the players, end this pox? It all boils down to recognizing the habits. This was a very strong character. wiped the floor with most the game. Tomb was a big long rotting pain in the butt, and I was not looking forward to getting the hell runes. I knew something was amiss in Dis ...

Hey guys, this is gonna be my first shot at extended with Chei, and I think I've got a really powerful setup. Currently combat consists of casting portal projectile and taking out any serious threats while I allow anything else to get into melee range, headbutts chip away at the meleers, and once th...

Hm, I'll just use Logonus Corrupt ability to get myself out of this sticky situation.

Awesome, finally got a HESk off the ground! Getting pretty good Oka piety here in Lair, whoops, looks like Rupert is on this level, I'll escape and explore cautiously. Oh, there he is again and the dumb bastard hasn't even noticed me yet! I'll just slip around this corner, throw on my buffs, and des...

Because it sounds too similar to Warg Oils, which is a consumable dropped by an unreleased mob to be utilized in the upcoming crafting mode. Finally, we'll get to use the cauldron that's in the games logo!

I tried that, and I didn't see anything. Is it a color thing, too?

It should be more of a 'Trog is super pissed at your face' vs 'Trog is mildly annoyed' I don't remember the exact messages, or if it's still even true.

Bloax really knows his shit about MiMos! Doesn't look like you got Blade hands online, that really mixes things up!

You can pray at an alter of the god who is pissed at you and get a rough idea.

I've been playing with a few Gods that are new to me and it got me considering how your God choice really defines your character, or at least compliments your characters playstyle. Lately I've been just grabbing the first alter I can find, which sometimes leaves me wondering if that's bad play, like...

Damn, I seriously had just told myself to go nuts with slimify, then forgot all about it when it could have saved me. I was running into a serious hunger problem with Jiyva as well, and should have just gone ahead and backtracked for some xp, but I really wanted that fast win! Glad I went for it, he...

Wowsers. This has just been bananas. Stuck with Xom until I found the Jivya alter in lair, had full piety before clearing out L8, got the slimy rune, went to the orc mines, and figured why the hell not do elf as well. Pressed downwards and ended up clearing the depths before I had set foot in the la...

Is there any real difference in trunk builds on akrasiac vs c-z? Or just the experimental branches?

YASD, player ghost on Spider5, pretty much because I was stuck in blade hands, and couldn't use wand/spell of hasting. Mostly though because I assumed a yellow ghost would be a cinch and didn't bother examining! I got metabolic englaciaction and dragon form up. Being hasted while everything else is ...

You'd think after a 15 rune victory I'd be able to take a break. Nope. Wanted to try some of the other combinations bouncing around in my noggin. Took a few tried, but once this guy got blade hands castable, it's been smooth sailing. But now I'm at a crossroads. I'm not super in love with trollleath...

I forgot I wanted to play around in the Zigg, aw well. Admittedly, I didn't use evocables much in extended, I was too busy introducing pan lords to my antimagic lajatang, which pretty much neutered them. Hells was a little trickier, with Antaeus giving me the most trouble, since I was counting on an...

Wow, this guy is coming along real nicely. I suppose I don't really have to be worried about the 'armor' fits poorly mut, considering the others I've picked up. Went deeper into the Abyss than I've ever been, grabbed the rune, went to slime despite the lack of rCorr, killed TRJ at -15 corrosion. I'v...

I was just using it in the Abyss with 27 Evo, it was pulling up ettins and phantasmal warriors

After giving up at 7 runes recently, I'm determined to get a 15 runer in. So I fire up my sure bet combo, Gargoyle with a quarterstaff and throwing nets. Early Trog alter has me go the surefire way on choosing a god. Finding CPA before Vault makes him a juggernaut! I've really gotta praise the rods ...

Saw this thread, and made this happen with my current Evocazerker, just for you!

I decided to wrap things up. Doing blood runs every few Pan levels got pretty obnoxious. In retrospect, I feel like I should have kept going; I always do.

Alright! I beat Tomb. It was pretty easy with relatively few close calls, 37 Greater mummies in total. I'm feeling like Hell would be the safer option, as Holy Pan would likely destroy this guy. Shatter and Firestorm are available, still no cBlink though. Is it pretty safe to assume I'll not need He...

Play MiBe and alternately hit tab and autoexplore. The faster and harder you press the keys, the more damage you do!

Controlled blink is one of the many weird things missing from this game. Along with Paralyzing needles (plenty of sleep/confuse tho!) also, no wands of digging or disint. I think I'm gonna let it sit for a while, I don't want to play when I'm excited and feeling invincible. But right now my tentativ...

Any suggestions from the hivemind? I'm scared to dip into Hell or Pan, but considering that I haven't even had to haste my dragons to make short work of anything that gets in my way, I think I should be okay. Still very open to suggestions on skillswapping/equipment/spells!

Dragon Call+Silence makes Elf 3 a cinch! Had a great setup to stab TRJ, but it didn't kill him, sad trombone. Also, no digging or disintigration wands so I had to monkey around with random effect wands to get to the slime vaults. I read on these very forums that boots of the assassin give stab bonus...

Already wasted them at the time of that posting. Invis didn't help, but three hasted 8headed hydras did. Completed V5, got Dragoncall online, and played with a weird little strategy I might take to elf/tomb. Dragoncall persists through silence! Still no rCorr so I'm saving slime. Any suggestions whe...

Mennas is one scary mofo when you're a vampire. Jory and Margery hiding behind the corner didn't make it any easier! About to drop into V5, thinking haste, invis, go down, immolation, sneak away a fair bit then spam evocables. Hmm. Maybe it'd just be safer to deal with the teleport. Fairy Dragon arm...

About to hit level 20, and feeling the itch to use Ash's skill swap, but I really don't know how it works. I figure my stealth and hexes aren't being relied on so much anymore, so could I dump those into summoning? Oh, the possibilities. Here's a dump where I'm carrying things that make me wonder ju...

Okawaru gave me penance when I shot Donald and the reflected attack killed one of my allies. If he cares about -that-, he'll probably care about your thing. Oka will definitely get pissed if your stone of tremors hits your allies. I did it, got mollified, and then killed by some stone/ice giants th...

I keep forgetting to use Ozu's armor and getting myself in trouble. Summon Hydra is a lot better than I expected it. Mara is blocking me from P:4 Here's how I'm standing now. Orange Crystal plate brings me to -7 EV, is there any possibility of this character using it? I think not because of low Str,...

Well, not quite to the midgame yet, but hot damn! Some real fun stuff has dropped this game, it's also the first time I've really used Ash. Without any other input, I suppose my plan would be to train up to the OCP, get Dragon Call online and kick some ass. But Ash's skillswap is new to me, and ther...

This is actually my superpower, I can divine which quadrant the Silver Rune will generate in. It's random, unless you're me.

Alright, that guy died some horrible death, I got another one here that cleared Lair and Orc, and the biiiig question is, Longbow or XBow? I've found an Xbow manual, and my weapon choices are Nessos' +3 Longbow of Flaming, or the +1 hand crossbow of True Grit {flame, Dex+3 Int-3} Note that True Grit...

The ring mail is purely for the rPois, I've got some plate to jump into! I'm pretty familiar with skilling up melee dudes, all my level up stats have gone into Dex so far, Invocations will get focused on as soon as I get to *** piety, doesn't take long at all to get finesse in the single digits. I'l...

I don't feel like a dump is necessary, just wondering when y'all like to train up magic schools for melee characters. In this case, I've got a MiGl with some decent conjuration spells available. Part of me is tempted to train into it ASAP, another train of thought tells me to wait until I have a few...

Recently had a GrGl that went into extended with an awesome lajatang, but went ahead and memorized OOD and Spellforged Servitor after nabbing a Conjuration manual. Holy crap. Telling it to park itself in a corner, lure in a group of enemies, I barely had a chance to melee them. I'm sure it's great t...

YAVP! Completely cleared Z5, apported the rune to stairs, took a little break, and decided I wanted a win. Dullest ascent ever. No pan lords, no Xom trickery. I think I saw maybe 2 orb guardians. First Xom win, hell first time getting a Xombie past Lair! Feels good to get a win after so long, but th...

I didn't realize my horn went back to normal size, and I got my rad cap back. Crypt gave me nothing special, nor did 4 acquirement scrolls. Literally the only form of rF+ in this game is Maxwells patent armor, which I did make use of, but no casting or teleporting is suicide at this point. So I went...

Thanks! I agree, the lack of resistances is concerning. I have a few options, I could try acquiring armor (if not, I'd do 2 wands, two rings, hope for some rF) or I could just enchant up Margerys FDA, but then I'd lose my precious +6 Slaying. Might not be too bad since I have +8 from rings!

I've never gotten too far with a Xombie, but with a weapon like this, sure, go ahead and teleport me all over the place! The only really annoying thing Xom seems to do is switch my weapon with someone else, which is why I carry around a rod of striking. So, I'm at the point where I -could- just go a...

Nope, no death channel.

Good ol' VpEns. I've got this guy right to about where most of my enchanters start dying off. Lots of powerful books in the Orc shops, including necronomicon and the one that has Firestorm, but I don't really want to swim against the bad conj apt. I think maybe summons? Simulacrum is in a book and t...

Most of my Dith-ites are VPEn, so Shadow Form is out of the question unless I wanna chug a bunch of blood pots. Bat form is better for escaping anyway, I think. I do see how shadow form will not be quite as useful to the undead as some of the resists overlap, but what do blood pots have to do with ...

I went for it. Sunk all my EW scrolls into the demon blade, pumped skill to 14, and then the sword of Jihad dropped on U:2! Good plan! That opens the possibility for a Trog 15 rune run, hmmm.
