Update : I cleared Lair and Orc, dipped into Elf and backed out immediately, I'll need Lesser Beckoning for that. I started doing some more Dungeon now. In Orc, there was a volcano with a nice +3 plate armour of fire resistance, which I managed to offset. The shops were pretty bad, just found gloves...

I would read id scrolls and train more transmutations (at least until 8.0 which is a breakpoint). Also I wouldn't train more dodging at the moment, Na has large size and eventually barding so its EV is never that impressive, even with Chei. Training armour after changing body armour is a good idea ...

Hey, so this guy just got out of the early dungeon and is now able to hold his own pretty well against anything the game throws at him, so I figure this is time to ask for some skilling and equipment advice. I currently reached Lair:3 and am doing quite well, I one-shot yaks with Blade Hands and I m...

Or maybe a colour code, like drain and contam.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. Is there a way to track combos that I have never played for decentplayer ?

Hi, so I found out about the 'greatplayer' and 'greaterplayer' challenges, are there any other metagame challenges that can be tracked from bots ? Or is there a comprehensive list of such challenges ?

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to activate some rcfile options only for some race/background combos, like increase the auto_butcher threshold for trolls, pick up magical staves for casters, don't pick up books for troglodytes... Is it possible to do so with a bit of Lua magic ?

All these recent Beogh posts have me curious to try him again...

Thanks, that was my line of thought exactly

Hi everyone ! Here again for yet another victory post ! This is my second online win and fifth win overall ! I had a lot of fun with Beogh, it feels really great to fight alongside a personal horde, with Urug and Saint Roka in the mix ! Also Smiting is awesome. Everything went rather smoothly until ...

My HOFi^Beogh came upon this message while going upstairs, does anyone know what it means ? You climb upwards.

If you're worshipping Xom, there's always the option to wait until he is bored and teleports you out.

50% nothing and only 10% chunks seems completely unreasonable for trolls or blaster casters. Also this means that a Beogh follower has 60% chances of not being given the opportunity to revive his fallen warlord, which could very well mean never in a given game.

Code:: the +4 pair of boots of Inevitability (worn) {*Contam rF+++ rC++}.

Now why would I ever want to take these off ??!?!?

A solution to the DoomRL scumming could be to disable waiting when there is no hostile in view and you are fully healed ("What are you waiting for, go get the ORB !"). I'm going to go on a limb and say that a player can't realistically manually wait (by moving back and forth or wielding/un...

Also, high-level poison magics could get new spells, like Curare Bolt, Acid Bolt, Corrosive Aura, Sleeping Cloud...

This soundded neat so I rolled up a nuGnoll on CAO. I'm finding that the skills are not all ascending equally, but it doesn't seem to be like autotraining because my long blades for instance has gone up a level, but polearms is still 0, and in the interim I've wielded a club and a hand axe. I get t...

I find the online experience of uninterrupted autotravel to be unnerving and too abrupt. It really is just a teleport, and this takes away from the "feel" of walking, which is an important game design aspect. For example, you want to communicate to your player that walking back to D2 to b...

Maybe it could be toggled like Sif's Divine Energy
P.S. Just to point it out, it makes no sense to turn Divine Energy off, ever, since you can just not cast a spell if you don't want -Cast.

They are hardier than other small species like kobolds or spriggans (who by the way get an EV bonus iirc)

Does anyone know if it's possible to see people's signatures on Tapatalk ?

At long last, I've got a win on webtiles ! 4th win overall, with 15 runes. I never abandoned Sif Muna, even though I was advised to multiple times by different people, because I really like the comfort of on-demand infini-mana. I know Vehumet provides some too, but when you do run out of mana (and i...

Is it useful to train UC? Yes. Training UC will reduce attack delay (and maybe increase damage/accuracy). What about dodging? Also yes. More dodging = more EV, form or not, and more EV is always good. Training armour is useless, unless you use a form that doesn't meld your armour (e.g. Blade Hands ...

It depends on the god, but "faith can be absolutely awesome.

Alternatively, have as many types of food as anyone wants, if it's goldified out of inventory.

I read this "bring back pizza !"

Um, wow. Found on D:5. the +5 helmet of Kikubaaqudgha's Hope {MR+++ MP+9 Slay+3 Stlth+} Be sure to report how you died :) [emoji38] Even more ominously, that character has since found this, too: the +9 lajatang "Hixtyruv" (weapon) {elec, +Inv rN+ Str+8 Dex-3 Stlth+} The game is giving you...

Also if they were close to the door, they could block it on the very turn you opened it, forcing you to fight them

alastair wrote:The enemies would be making lots of sounds as they move around the dungeon, yet why is that when they hear any sound from the player they automatically know it's from an intruder?

It's a game mechanic. Why do wounds close between fights? Why does the character not feel pain?

From the Ctrl-F help menu (?) : /D:[2-4] finds everything on Dungeon levels 2-4. Regexes are allowed! Note that /D:[3-10] will not work as intended, since [x-y] is a regex character range. I don't understand this sentence, and it might be a good thing to explain why it doesn't work, or how such a re...

I don't get it. If I understand it correctly, the point of the food and OOD clocks is to prevent scumming by forcing the player ever onwards. If post-level-generation spawning is removed, then these clocks become useless, since there's no incentive, no reward to staying on a level long (no possible ...

When the evolution mutation gives me the following :

Code:: stinger 1, cold resistance 1, fire resistance 1, magic resistance 1, robust 1

and rids me of deterioration !

Edit : actually make that stinger 2
Edit : and int+2 and sturdy frame 1

Add

Code:: auto_butcher = very full

to your rcfile. It will butcher every corpse until you are engorged.

Code:: the +3 executioner's axe "Kukkuon" {speed, +Inv rN+++ MR+ Stlth-}

Just a *speed*-branded exec axe with evocable Invisibility and MR ! And rN+++ to top it off ! Thanks Oka, sometimes you just gotta have a little faith

Don't worry you'll think of it next time, what's important is that you made it. Congrats !

If it had generated, Lesser Beckoning could have gotten you out of a lot of such trouble.

Also I think low regen is flavored as "you do not regenerate when monsters are in view", which should exclude invisible monsters

Edit: tapatalk message

Code:: Sigmund and Grinder come into view. Sigmund is wielding a scythe of protection. Sigmund shouts! Grinder shouts!

My life sucks.

Formicids are immune to the *Slow artifact property.

Why are there never any arguments about this but just these block refusals?

Add an option that makes autopickup always use Apportation if available (under 15% fail) and if there is enough MP). Pressing 5 to restore MP after such auto-apportation would be boring. I would prefer to have all "autopickup" items instantly get into inventory if there are no monsters in...

watertreatmentRL wrote:You are mistaken about being unable to reset fights with a naga that has sticks to snakes.

A NaTm doesn't have enough MP to fail Blade Hands twice and cast StS à couple times to get snakes and that can also fail or get one-shotted

I thought elves were worth a bunch of XP ? At least I feel like I progress much faster when doing Elf:1-2

Is that normal ?

Annihilator is already the XL.27 Conjurations skill titles, so that will probably have to change

Well after clearing Depths, I went back to finish off the elves. The end vault was well isolated so I cleared the rest of the level first, then went in, killed a few elves in the bent entry corridor, then got banished to Abyss:3, so I thought "What the hell, let's get the rune!". I got the...

Yes, it gave slightly better AC by itself, but no ozo is terrible

Hey, update on my progression : I cleared Shoals (nabbed the barnacled rune and ran from the last level as soon as I could, though not before bashing Ilsuiw's head in). Then I did Vaults 1-4. I bought a spellbook with Regeneration, Simulacrum and Dispel Undead and got some Necromancy skill, which is...

Thanks for the advice and the in-game help. I cleared Lair, Dungeon, Orc, peeked into Elf and cleared Snake (woo serpentine rune). Had a few scary moments when I opened the Hall of Blades without Inv, and another one when I forgot that the Lair branches were only 4 levels deep now and blundered into...

Acquired a +0 barding {rF+}, the amulet "Joewka" (around neck) {Spirit +Fly rF+} and a crap spellbook, so I'm overall happy. I enchanted up the barding, and I found a +3 leather armour {rF+} in a volcano, so I think I'd rather wear this than troll leather. Is this a mistake? Also I have ac...

On D:1, you try-id a +6 ring of slaying
