Got Necro from kiku and then went sif muna. Got to a shop in orc mines and saw Necronomicon for sale and thought what a waste it was going kiku. I then check my spell book list and it was missing. So... what?

Geez nice rings. IMO you should transition to better weapon class and definitely a better weapon. Also get a good shield. But I don't know much about octopodes. Hopefully Lasty sees this. Was thinking possibly eduemon blade later on since long sword is at 7 right now. Something like going jiyva eat...

Must be fun burning strawmen

Getting rid of item weight and item destruction cant be a good move. It was annoying indeed having scrolls burned and potions pop, but it added a level of strategy. This makes the game easier now having countless haste/might/etc pots that can be used whenever instead of being wary of using them exce...

Finding a shaolin ring, a +5 +4 bow of flaming, and a centaur barding all on D:1 on my CeHu. I'm not shitting you, that happened, and I died because I was a noob. I got a similar situation going on with my Gargoyle winning rng game. Almost died like a noob against rupert, would have made me feel li...

Its a shame, loved saying snozzcumber. Now with the side dishes gone and most peeps not being able to carve corpse for meat, food mini game has become an annoyance.

Some annoyances I hate is the game generating monsters around a corner when you are retreating and the whole "x appears out of thin air!" is pretty dumb. The non-beam spell spam of hellfire/torment/smite is also lame. It also shouldnt be removed because I would have 15-runed this game long...

Only losing 2 tiles off of LOS doesnt make it very good. Needs to be buffed. Uh, what? Lantern requires 0 training in any skill and gives you the effect of a level 7 hex just by wielding it, and it randomly spawns multiple allies for you without taking any action/MP/hunger cost (though rate of shad...

Only losing 2 tiles off of LOS doesnt make it very good. Needs to be buffed.

I had long blades from the beginning. The only sword better than that was the Plutonian sword I was gonna use for hell/pan since I won't need a shield there. I guess I learned going pure melee isn't the way to go. Tired of dropping 13 hours a character to learn one thing.

Charge the ranks! So, rush them really fast. Was the floor -cTele? If it wasn't, well, not much to be done there. Is Okawaru a good god for facing ziggurats? You have offensive power aplenty and all the end-game gear you probably needed. I might have wanted to switch over to Makhleb for some trolli...

So how do you deal with a Zig or any place full of smiters that are hiding behind hordes of trash mobs? The only thing I can think of is scroll of fog, but that didn't reduce my LOS that much.

The prophecy has come to fulfillment

I only take that dude on if I have rF+++. His power stupidly OP. Do a Mara vs Cerebov and Mara can still win. The ability to clone yourself at full power twice and clone a perfect mirror of someone needs to be toned down. Needs to be more like his clones being weaker versions of him and maybe the cl...

Sandman25 wrote:Finesse is fine for Gh in extended IMHO, you don't need rMut from Zin/Jiyva/Nemelex, torment protection form Kiku and cannot worship TSO anyway. Not sure why you got main skills to 27, you could train spells Haste/cBlink etc with that XP.

None are available.

Another question is what God should I use for my ghoul? I been using okawaru, but my main stats are 27 only leaving finesse useful. I was going to drop him for jiyva to have item protection, but I killed TRJ

That would involve buffing mummies. We dont do that around here.

You got a sick bow. Looks like you know what you're doing training certain skills.

Thats why its great being a pessimist, never disappointed.

Look im about to die *casts fireball killing himself in the progress*

Should this really be programmed for the AI to do? Robbing mah piety

I dont think you can get immunity from anything with equipment, just reduce the damage/chance by a lot.

Heh actually you can with stasis/clarity. Wasn't thinking. Guess its still true elemental wise.

Vorpal is the brand of "Can't find anything better" Protection is bad outside early game and low AC (read: non-melee) characters. Flaming is better, but it's also the most common resistance type. Best bet is one of the following 3: Freezing is good against many cold-blooded creatures i.e....

basically whatever you'd use in a 3-rune game except not pain/vamp and not draining (but draining isn't really very good in a 3-rune game in the first place) antimagic is one of the best brands in most of extended, in fact it is better than holy wrath against single targets How is it better when Ho...

I always go +9/+9 TSO blessed weapon when I play non-evil characters. I went ghoul because im tired of the Torment spam BS in endgame and I can't use holy wrath. Aside from speed brand which is super rare, what brand should I go for?

Why would they need it though, they are already the best casters with best magic aptitudes. Something needs to be done about mana and regenration though, playing as a pure caster without sublimation/necromutation/channel energy from sif muna is ridiculous.

Strength may give just as much EV as dexterity, or more even, depending on your encumbrance and skill training. Dexterity suffers several step downs at different values. I believe one rather major cut off is around 24 or maybe 26 dex. You still get value from dex after that point but it is diminish...

As someone just mentioned and from what I just learned - Strength is damn near worthless aside from carrying capacity. Dexterity is far superior and gives more value boosting your evasion with dodging. I rather have 34 dex and 13 str on that character if not for the fact I would only be able to carr...

Komodo dragons now bite harder but don't sicken the player. Okay, serious question. Why do komodos even exist anymore? Without sickness they're just buffed up iguanas. why not just let them go along with the giant goldfish? You're missing the bigger issue. This is ANOTHER blatant nerf to mummies! W...

You still get vorpal brand with brand weapon though.

I dont understand your objection, yes if its unbranded which is still better than no brand doing more damage.

you can now get holy pan as a good god worshipper. And, just to be clear, you think this is a desirable thing? More interesting than endless demons anyway? If you want a serious answer, it's "doesn't matter" Wait, how do you holy blade it? There's no ench spell that holies it. TSO? So of ...

Why get rid of brand scroll. I always use it on the weapon im going to fully enchant and make a holy blade.

For extra XP and loot. Some Elf:3 layouts are too easy where there is a single hallway leading to the hoard making 1v1 mindless. Other layouts have a 2 tile wide hallway and are more difficult. All and all, elf:3 is easy just 1v1 and stair scum.

"A portal to somewhere" isn't an actual portal.

I did that once with loads of drakes/dragons in a surprise room on elf 3 or 2 I believe. I don't think you get credit for the kills though because I saw no "X appreciates your kill"

Being a ghoul is awesome with no torment BS. Can't believe I pissed away this epic character that had full res on almost everything and an epic weapon. Anyway when I play non-ghoul I make a blessed +9/+9 Bastard sword with the TSO for extended. Would the Paper sword of speed still be better than a +...

Doesn't matter now my lvl 27 died to 10 starcursed masses in abyss Starcursed masses split when not being attacked and merge when being attacked, so if you can't 100% reliably flee from them you need to tear them apart ASAP.

Doesn't matter now my lvl 27 died to 10 starcursed masses in abyss

I believe its called the rod of ignition not sure, but the one where you fire a bolt of fire that explodes like a fireball on each enemy the bolt hits is pretty freaking good. Probably the best rod with clouds as a second.

Paper sword is better. The "one or two units of speed" equate to a 50% bonus, "Slicing" is a 16.7% bonus. the 5 more to-damage enchantment is 2.5*1.167 ~= 2.91 damage per hit on average, but that's less than 33.3% more damage (Unless your skills are terribly low) Would the paper...

+9/+9 Bastard Sword of Slicing

or

+10/+4 Bastard Sword of the Paper ~Speed Brand~ Dex+4 Int+3

To me it seems the slicing is better because more damage seems to offset the 1 or 2 units of speed from the Paper sword.

Andddd there goes another level 27 dead on level 25 zigg, got greedy.
