There's no great reason to keep wearing faith with Kiku.

Also, apport your ammo back after firing.

Edit: I suppose that's mostly for Throwing.

Plus giving up the buckler is not worth switching to a two-handed weapon you'll rarely use.

Train some more Fighting soonish.

Although "negative resistance" is maybe more terrible.

Apportation, Blink, PoG, etc levels could just be increased...

Frail 2 sucks. I would have quaffed mutation. Edit: Condolences. Panlords, tormenters, and damnationers are a time to really slow down and definitely consider teleporting early. Random panlords are mostly total wimps, but occasionally they are insanely dangerous: it's hard to not get complacent. Any...

What are you going to use strength for?

Performance-enhancing drugs!!!

Turn off Spellcasting. Turn on Fighting.

v) put on pants. Then i).

Yeah, I just ran into my first wight pack since the ID change in trunk. In case folks don't know, wights' weapons have pretty good base types, a high chance of good enchantment and egos (particularly freezing), but a high chance (1 in 3, I think) of being cursed. This made weilding their weapons hav...

Whoot!

b)

Has anyone ever noticed a difference beyond 0 (stabs) and positive (not stabs)? I haven't.

Play slowly in Pan. Use TSO's abilities. Use consumables.

Potion of cancellation is not fun.

And stop the projectile at an enemy (like "." in manual targeting) if continuing would hit an ally (or deep water/lava).

Congrats!

You're also overrating clarity...

Use potions of might & haste for OoFs to kill them faster. Scrolls of fog to spend less time in LoS.

Finesse, Heroism, and potion of might. Whatever evocables. Hit him in the face with demon whip.

Please add more of these vaults.

100%!

Damnit, that's not the question...

Impossible!

Congrats!

I don't think anything in Tomb hits especially hard with AC-checking attacks. Necromutation has a small AC bonus, so you should have had like 22 AC, which seems ok. I bet you got hit with Dispel Undead from Ushabis and/or smiting from the top two mummies.

Damn. You're hardcore.

Congrats!

I vote for Le Petite Mort next!

And what if timers were removed?

I can't think of another unique besides Tiamat that can appear in Zot. I suppose you could drag one down from Depths. Or a HellPanLord could appear on the Orb run.

Edit: Stupid challenge: die to Crazy Yuif on Zot:5.

From the previous dump, it's too early for Tornado: you need more Fighting and Dodging. (Turn off Armour until you decide to wear a robe ). I'd be shooting for 18+ in those.

Then train Air & Spellcasting and have fun with Tornado.

Zot:5 has a fuckton of XP: I clear it before extended unless I'm super worried about malmutations (and not with Zin). And, of course, I clear Crypt, Elf, the Vestibule of Hell, Vaults:5, and Slime and collect the Abyss rune before extended, i.e. Pan, Hells, & Tomb. I also try to clear Tomb as ea...

Yes, all of my deaths are from suboptimal damage spikes.

Hmm, I definitely avoid plain harm, put +6 slaying is interesting. I'd keep it on, but look for other options. (Gourmand is definitely not better.) You didn't ask, but you should identify some of those scrolls. You've got 5 scrolls of indentity and 6 un-identified scrolls. I'd read-id the 2 big stac...

a)!

Edit: Too bad we gave all our acid to Bill Clinton

Yes, you can still swap between TSO, Zin, and Ely with no wrath and half your piety.

Risk vs. reward says don't open it, but I always do, maybe afterdoing a few more floors first. If you do, expect it to be a good bit harder than the rest of the floor was, so buff/escape (e.g. read teleport) early, if needed.

Glad you got out. Tomb is the hardest place in the game. Definitely go win, but next time you try extended, do Pan & Hells before Tomb.

Yes, Panlords, greater demons (Ice/Brimstone Fiends, Hell Sentinels, Tzitzi...s, etc), and the rare pack of holy beings. Try not to fight, if possible. Teleport early if you see trouble. Use a wand of digging to shorten your paths. Don't forget god abilities. Etc.

I already had a plain cloak. I was mostly seeing if they had any gear worth taking. They kinda did. Sigmund and Jessica each had a Potion of Heal Wounds... Yes, I got that. My point was that it's an interesting choice when you first see Crazy Yuif's vault on D:3 or whatever because you almost certa...

Does Crazy Yiuf still have a chance for magic Cloaks. So far, since I've returned to Crawling, I've only seen him with nonmagical ones.

Yes. I don't know what the odds are... But an early plain cloak is good.

You don't *need* to change gods. Brothers in Arms is still strong in extended. If you *want* to change gods, TSO is standard for heal on evil kills, rN+++, and his Invocations. (Train enough Invocations to get summon angels reliable.) I like Zin, especially if I have a bunch of rN, because of Recite...

Sublimation of Blood on corpse chunks.

Carry a distortion weapon, unwield until sent to the Abyss, grind to get Shatter or Corruption online, loot!

My Petite Mort is finally official!

Yes, reduce the max duration of chaos-brand paralysis to like 3 turns.

Oh, yeah, definitely don't forget this -- for compatibility reasons dark grey is realized as dark blue in most terminals by default, and this setting gets dark grey back. With the compatibility mode turned off, blue is much rarer on the map (though certain monsters still use it). Terminal compatibi...

There's plenty of monsters with infinite MR that can be confused/paralysed with a needle, like fucking Panlords for example, but not with a wand.
