I'd use that ring of fire now, when you have source of rC+. It will boost your performance somehow and 16->13 drop in Dex won't make thing much worse (you'll loose ~2 EV I think). If you find staff of fire, it would be wise to use it. Also you can swap for scimitar when monsters get close, but I don...

I tried axes loads of times, but always ended up getting smashed in Vaults or Depths. I used 2H axes on my 1st 15-rune win: it was DsDK with Yred -> Makhleb switch for late and extended. I was lucky to find vamp battleaxe somewhere in orcs (iirc) and it helped a lot with it's huge healing (becaue o...

Hooray! :D I did it. Thank you for the advice. I don't know that I would've been patient enough at Z:5 otherwise. The Robe of Night was useful for the shorter range with Iron Shot. I'm embarrassed I forgot to train armor, though. :oops: What kind of dodging/armor skill levels would you recommend fo...

Jyiva will mutate you into squeezy pile of oddities unless you have full piety with Zin. If you gonna do a Jyiva->Some_God switch and hold with your good mutations, then you better do it via Jyiva->Zin->Some_God

It's free +1 AC, +5 Int, +MP and MR+; what's not to love? As for me, only characters with basic speed and tengu(11 speed while flying iirc) should avoid this hat. There are 2 hard breakpoints in crawl: slower-normal and normal-faster, all is relative to 10 speed. And if pondering makes you go throu...

Hit it with LCS, it wont make a squeak!

Yes, casting this spell when you have 25MP makes sense, and hunger cost too, but later I found myself casting it, waiting until full mana and then engaging into the battle. With battlesphere. Anyway, this spell has been moved to lvl5 that already makes it inaccessible too early for most characters. ...

I was playing DECjs many times and battlsphere is surely a very good spell. But I have to mantain it while I explore because on conjurer characers you have to use every turn to devastate enemies before they do the same to you. It's very tedious and doesn't add a diversity to the game. As for me, cha...

I tried rushing to firestorm as soon as I got it (except for 3 levels in air and ice for Fcloud), then I won a 5-runner DECj!

Cannot connect since monday, other dudes from our dcss discussion cant connect too. Does anybody have nformation about it? Sorry if wrong forum.

EDIT: it is also a cool portuguese legend: ... You may be astonished, but there is a similar story in Rusian folklore. And instead of portuguese traveller, there was a man who made a porrige with the axe instead of stone. Also checked wiki, it's ok for Northern folks to have story about AXE SOUP!

I love early deck of wonders!

Code:: Your Stealth skill gained 15 levels and is now at level 22!

Needles of sleeping is cool too.

It's gonna be "It is cool to play spriggan stabber" thread.

Xom card gave me rF+ and Str+2 mutations. I love Xom now. Gotta play Chaos Knight later.

I tried to play SpAr of Nemelex with cutlass, a lot of evocations and stealth and cards. Clear Dungeon to 15 and Lair. Died to executioner which was summoned by some card from a deck of wonders. Please give me some tips for my future SpArs. What decks should I choose? Should Ifocus on Evocations or ...

Mara. -You *need* clarity to face him -You can always expect him as a beef gate for some branch in any given game. -He quickly becomes a small elite army. -He creates pseudo-ghosts. You *need* IOOD to face him. That's all. EDIT: My first encouter was when I got my DECj to the Swamp:5 for the first ...

I often see plaers talking about some_vault_type they encounter.
Where can I see what type did I encounter last time and what types exist?
EDIT: I'm playing webtiles.

my last CeHu went to D27 after first 2 runes, did Orc, Vestibule and tried (but unsuccessfully) Abyss. Then I went to Vaults 5 and it was quite hard on 24 or 25 lvl. After depleting my comestible supply I decided to just ninja rune and run. Was banished by the ogre mage and died in Abyss. Everything...

Don't want to make my own topic, but what is better for MiBe: +1 chain mail or +7 plate armour of ponderousness?
Now I have almost no skill in dodge/armour. Wearing it gives me 17 AC 7 EV vs. 25 AC 5 EV and 1.2 move delay.

Konedar , thank you for the tips! Istarted to trin spellcasting in order to learn some more spells. When IOOD was gifted by Vehumet I had no free spell slots for it. Unlearning some junk helped a bit, but I want a bit more spell slots for Ring of Flames and Fire Storm that will come soon (I hope). ...

but you can eat chunks from the floor!

Orc is clear, so does the Elf 1-2. I cleared half of the Elf 3, but decided to put it off until later. Blademasters are hard for me now. Vehumet gave me LCS, Shatter and Fire Storm. That is great! Now I'm looking for the source of rPois (other than staff of poison, because I like that staff of power...

Vehumet gave me bolt of fire. So I have a decent damaging spell now. But that is not the point of this post. I IDed a potion of Cure Mutation. And I decided to quaff a potion of mutation. First potion gave me -10%MP, then removed this and granted me with Icy Blue Scales 1 (+1AC). "Okay" I ...

Armour should not be swappable with cursed cloak, shield or weapon of axe type, spear/poleaxe type (you hold it in the middle, right?) and any 2-hander. Gloves should not be swappable with cursed weapons or shields. You should remove them to take off gloves. Rings cannot be swapped if gloves are cur...

YASD. Potion of berserk rage could save you too as it is the direct source of haste plus HP boost. But it was a lottery to drink and unidentified potion. And yes, ID wands as soon as you get them. Hope you will continue your attempts to play a caster. YASD/YAVP/CIP section is pretty boring now as 7...

If you have 10+ Fire and 10+ Earth (and no Ice/Air), I think you are extremely likely (but not guaranteed) to get Fire Storm / Shatter / Crystal Spear as your final Vehumet gifts. Isn't there a chance that one of this spell will be changed to, say, Chain Lightning? I don't want a Fire Storm to be t...

Same problem here.
Is there any way to stop my current game or reconnect to the process?

In my last games with DECj or CeHu I clear Lair as soon as I find it, be it on D9 or D12. And in most cases Swamp looks pretty doable. And it Is done if I don't do some stupid dwarf trick or become less carefull. In my previous game with DECj I lacked the damaging power for Swamp 3-5, but for that c...

Lrd is earth not earth/conj. Damn that IP block! I cannot access wiki from my work subnet because it was blacklisted somewhere and bots doesn't give enough info. Anyway, I will take LRD only for the purpose of tearing down stronger walls. With staff of earth and, say, 30Int and 27Spellcasting I sho...

Ok, my 2nd conjurer is dead. Wiglaf killed him with a battleaxe. Frankly speaking, I was a bit bored with this char because of lack of firepower. I should do Orc and Elf 1-2, and I may find good books there (or a shop), but I decided to clear S1-4 first. Wiglaf must be dead and I tried to kill it wi...

How much times should I kill Boris to completely get rid of him?

With those high skills in spellcasting and conjuration, it auto-ID the book of annihilations, right ? Are you training necro in case of Necronomicon ? would there be any use ?ID it and focus on getting it online ? Yep, I think it is Necronomicon/ I got some skill in Necro because I choosed Ice magi...

Can't say I've ever remembered to use a scroll of fog at a time when it would have saved me It's a bit tricky to use, but generally will save you from rangers/casters. It saved my DECj in the early game (~D8) where I run into 4 centaurs and 1 centaur captain. Making a cloud of fog, running away and...

Ok, I got my 2nd DECjup and running. But things are not that smouth. Vehumet hates me, I think it is because of my 3-4 attempts on MuNe. I decided to branch into Ice now because I got freezing cloud. I got 10 in Ice, 6 in Air. But my final gift contains: LCS, Shatter and Chain Lightning! It is sad, ...

First post, so welcome in the Tavern ! You may want to train some Dodging to improbe your defenses... I'm not sure that Air/Hexes/Charms were already useful, but as DE have good apts it's not wasted Charms is very useful - it is haste, swiftness repel/deflect missiles, battlesphere. I train it earl...

I'll post the adventures of my DEs Conjurers here. First one is dead! 17949 Ololoev the Arsonist (level 12, -14/62 HPs) Began as a Deep Elf Conjurer on Nov 19, 2013. Was a High Priest of Vehumet. Demolished by a hill giant ... wielding a +1,+2 great mace (26 damage) ... on Level 12 o...
