Yes, I was insane enough to do this. I scummed for 1 million turns before going past D:10, getting abyssed 8 times in the process (which was just the beginning of my abyss trips; I visited 21 times in total). During this time, I built up a kit of equipment good enough to get me through the game--+10...

Shields+demon weapons are pretty good.

Shields aren't terrible; they're just usually not as good as two-handed weapons (the increase in defense generally isn't worth the reduction to offense).

There's no other space big enough for it to be.

I agree with Psieye here. It would be somewhat useful occasionally and be more consistent with dodging and such, but it may not be worth the time it would take to develop.

The top 6 and 32 of the top 35 scores online are 15-runers.

There is absolutely no reason to go Zin or Jiyva to cure that set of mutations if you have two pots of cure mut available. Chug one of them. If it cures blurry vision, great; you can save the other for later. If not, chug the other. If you somehow run into massive mutation trouble after that without...

I tend to try to keep about 10 slots open when I enter a new area. If you can get more without dropping useful items, great; if not, don't worry about it. Really, a MuSu with Summon Dragon is almost invincible if you are playing at all carefully, so you shouldn't have too much trouble for the rest o...

Well, you got a new username color, so that's something. Congratulations on that. also, to keep from derailing this thread too much: I love it when my muck gets 3 rods of the swarm, one rod of venom, 52 ac, four wands of healing, a wand of hasting, a wand of tele, and several excellent randarts by d...

Edit- And since it was mentioned the whole MR resist thing could probably use a look at from both sides. The fact that confuse, a single target skill NAMED CONFUSE, is almost always worse than meph and evaporate is really really stupid. It is by no means "almost always worse than meph and evap...

One quick tip: MiGl is stronger than MiFi in just about every way. Now on to your questions: 1) It's actually not all that risky. Don't bother testing every weapon you come across, but if you find a glowing/runed item in your current weapon class or a stronger weapon of the same type (e.g. a war axe...

Haters please read on before kneejerk reacting. I read it and I still hate it. The current system is easily understandable and works very well. This proposed system is overcomplicated, unintuitive, artificially limiting, entirely unnecessary, and generally bad. Seriously, there is absolutely no rea...

First, this should be in the YASD/YAVP/CiP subforum. Now, onto the topic at hand: Frankly, I don't see the point. In just about every situation where confusion would have potential uses, Fireball will kill the confusable monsters in about three turns. I am having a really hard time thinking of a sit...

Merging the scrolls makes fewer bad scrolls, so the scroll ID game gets easier. That's probably a bad idea. It is virtually impossible for the scroll id game to become easier than it is right now. The curse foo scrolls are utterly insignificant in essentially all non-Ash games. [quote='jejorda2&quo...

I presume that he only grabbed nine because he didn't need any more for the high score.

why exactly does this thread exist

I know its not optimal; FE probably do have the upper hand with their good in-between spells, but I think Cj has more straightforward spells akin to a berserker. Throw Frost/Cloud everything early on, IMB everything through midgame, and by lategame you have the big guns like fire storm. By contrast...

*SpWz

Vehumet is a much, much, much better choice for spwz than Okawaru is. Oka does almost nothing if you mainly attack using spells, while Vehumet gives a wide range of incredibly useful bonuses.

Why would anyone pick Fire Elementaliast over Wizard? first: flame tongue + conjure flame is about as effective as magic dart + meph (except with ranged attackers and, to some extent, fast monsters) and comes online much sooner. second: sticky flame kills everything forever third: fireball also kil...

"regret"

I actually think that +contam glaive should give MORE glow to make the property matter. Otherwise it's just annoying. As mentioned. +contam armour is unusable and any other piece of stuff with +contam is barely annoying. Should we probably make it more harsh? Right now that weapon has not cost me a...

First of all, this should probably be in Game Design Discussion, not contributions. Second, permanent stasis makes the race unplayable.

I show as 168/168 (213). Needless to say it's annoying. You are unlikely to ever heal that heavy of rot. Curing potions are good at preventing it but not at curing it after the fact; save them for more productive things. If you have a lot of extra potions of heal wounds or charges on a wand of heal...

Somewhat off-topic, but do players really use scrolls of acquirement for weapons? I just can't imagine wasting a scroll like that, unless it is far better than Okawaru gifting. Weapons along with enchantment scrolls and books with vorpalizeable buffs are lying around the dungeon; while getting a go...

In the food reform, smart people put a lot of work into trying to make hunger into a more interesting mechanic, and ran into significant resistance. I don't think it's true that there's no better way at all, but that the Crawl/Nethack style of hunger is baked so deeply into Crawl's gameplay that ma...

Blurry Vision mutation is a serious penalty

for the record, basically any FE of vehumet is the magic equivalent of a MiBe.

When I said every spell in the ne book, I was most definitely including lethal infusion, since lethal infusion is better than any of the skald brands! You should try it. Funny, that's the one I usually skip because I'm worried about losing exp. The trade-off is worth it? I figured I never want to b...

If you have haste up and cast statue form, you are back to normal speed - that's a big decrease. You are back to normal speed - with a +50% boost to your melee attack, and +30% HP. And really, really good defenses, especially if you cast Stoneskin. I've only played one statue form character (an opw...

I'm thinking 'my only stalker win was with Trog and a big sword, I'm not entitled to give any advice here'.

On the contrary, that sounds like the perfect stalker advice.

It is a gate leading to either a sewer (green water, rats/kobolds/snakes/some other things) or an ossuary (zombies and mummies). It will technically close if you don't find it in time, but that takes such a very long time that you don't really need to worry about it if you explore the level normally...

every single monster was a legitimate, manageable threat) I have a hunch this is because your character had 50 max hp and no extra lives. Still, this feedback is nice to hear.

I played NewSwamp just barely (ended up dying in it) and I just wanted to mention that the changes are excellent.
