Each head attack has to roll separately vs EV/SH/AC, right? So boosting defenses (which you want to anyway) should help a lot.

Yeah, Chei is easymode in zigsprint. The thing about Nemelex is that you can do this in the first room: Miscellaneous k - an ornate deck of wonders {drawn: 1} {god gift} o - a legendary deck of wonders {drawn: 1} {god gift} p - an ornate deck of wonders {drawn: 1} {god gift} z - an ornate deck of wo...

This is why potions of exp in ziggarauts tend to take my 6.8 evocations to 7.4 evocations late game. Just so I understand this correctly... In 0.10.2, suppose I carefully advance every available skill to exactly 2.0 in the early dungeon levels. Does this not only waste skill points, but horribly cr...

Harsh is fine. Is this a character I should have chosen to avoid zigs with? Should I at least have gotten the other 5 runes first, to gain more XP? The only thing I disagree with is termsize -- it doesn't make sense for me to shrink my UI while actually playing just on the off chance someone might w...

Ouch. Thanks for giving an honest assessment.

Why not teleport away from him and come back at XL:27?

I've maxed out bow skill and have an amazing longbow, but only 200 +7 arrows. So I'm using a regular weapon against most monsters to save ammo. Which is better: R - the +3,+5 scythe "Finisher" (weapon) {speed, Str+3} b - the +5,+8 glaive of the Guard {elec, +Rage AC+5 SInv} I have 8.8 pole...

It would be neat if there was a screen, similar to the "M" screen, which would tell me about all spells which are available in books anywhere in the dungeon. Spells that I currently know would be in a different color. If I have multiple books containing a certain spell, that would be noted...

Not obviously enough. When I was noob -- er, when I was even more of a noob than I am now-- I splatted over 50 mummy wizards thanks to that guide.

I've only won once, ever, so take this with a grain of salt. Minotaur Gladiator, trident, turn off everything except Armour until I find my first bow. Turn off Armour and raise Bows to 7.9, then turn Bows off until 6 star piety. Raise Dex at every level. After level 12 or so you can raise Fighting a...

http://crawl.develz.org/info/index.php?q=aevp "Adjusted body armour evasion penalty. Affects spell success, melee accuracy." So an archer who only has a few utility spells might as well wear the heaviest armor possible? I have 27 points in armor and 26 STR... wondering if I should switch ...

Does this work? According to the information in the wiki it should, but I thought I'd check here first... 1. Join Jiyva. 2. Walk to bottom of slime pits, collect rune. 3. Ambush, kill royal jelly. 4. Abandon Jiyva. Since he no longer has any intelligent followers, he fades away and can't punish you....

Thanks guys. I'm now using y - the +5,+5 longbow of the Fool (weapon) {god gift, velocity, rC+ Int+2} DEX 19 , Bows 21.7, ring of slaying +0,+8 Varsovie, does that mean that Dex doesn't affect bow damage once weapon speed is at max? I was thinking of swapping my bracers of archery out for dex gloves...

C - the +5,+9 bow of Evil (weapon) {frost, +Inv rF++} e - a +4,+0 longbow of flame {god gift} When I asked on IRC I was told to (a) keep both because two elements and (b) nobody understands ranged combat. But maybe someone here understands ranged combat. Which of these has more DPS? I have 16 DEX, I...

I want to make a patch to let the character worship any number of gods at the same time. I won't attempt to balance it -- the game will just be easier, but maybe more fun too. (I've only ever won once)

Should I use 0.10.0? 0.10.2? trunk?

I suppose I misunderstood the purpose of the timer -- I'd thought it was simply to prevent the player from coming back 5 XL later when the vault is trivial. In this case, I did have a ?MM, which, if I had used it, would have let me go back to the proper stairs in time. I still would have had to figh...

Clear Elf 3. Go down stairs to Elf 4 for the first time, get labyrinth timer. o-Tab-o-Tab, repeat until done exploring. No time spent resting or retreating. Turns out its a disconnected level. Go back to Elf 3, take another stair down. o-Tab until explored, still no portal. Back up, down the third s...

Let's eliminate some from that list. Thanks. I took the whip of electrocution and advanced it a little, but then I found a flaming longbow and couldn't help but switch (and it turns out to be +3,+3). I've kept the whip in case of ammo issues. a - Fighting 5.2 -1 j - Stabbing 0.0 -1 Long Blades 2.5 ...

Update. XL 11, Six stars with Mahkleb now. Still haven't picked a weapon, though I put a couple points in all the weapon skills to ID them. I don't think that vampiric is worth it on such a crap weapon. Armour is at 17.0 p - a +2,+2 long sword of electrocution (weapon) l - a +1,+0 whip of draining m...

What macros did you use, by the way?

Started a new DDGl. I've put all my skill points to Armour and all three stat increases to DEX. XL9, worshiping Mahkleb. Which weapon should I be using in the short/medium term, and how heavily should I invest in it? u - a +3,+2 elven spear of freezing N - an uncursed battleaxe of chopping T - an un...

For runic branches, I'd suggest showing the rune after the branch title. For example instead of Swamp (2/4) Lair:3 do Swamp (2/4{) Lair:3 where { has the native rune colour if it's still there, otherwise is darkgrey. There's no point in distinguishing ordinary branches from those branches which the...

couple suggestions for the Dungeon Overview (Ctrl+O) screen: If there's a branch that has a rune, and you haven't collected the rune yet, its name should be in a different color, maybe purple. Once you get the rune, the color should go back to gold, as normal. You should be able to go to any place/a...

After 200 turns, only about 10% of the ammo had been eaten, and my mutatiosn were: You have a pair of small antennae on your head. You have a beak for a mouth. You have sharp fingernails. You are mostly covered in yellow scales (AC +2, rAcid+). Your mind is acute (Int +1). You are resistant to elect...

In the 5th Sprint map, is it intended that the massive pile of free equipment in the starting room be available for sacrificing to Nemlex? Because it makes the rest of the run pretty easy, as far as I can tell. Though I think I ruined my game when fooling around with the dungeon deck.. the whole roo...

I registered to make this suggestion for the player hits monster case: When you drain a monster, you immediately gain xp equal to the reduction in its xp value. This means there's no longer any disadvantage to using draining, besides the opportunity cost of not using a different brand. If that makes...
