This looks like a Trog gift: the +9 bardiche "Vameugei" {antimagic, MR+ Stlth+} But in fact it was an Okawaru gift. I can see that you are all confused. Since when does Oka gift antimagic? Since when does Oka gift anything good?? What world am I in??? Well... the answer is this: I was an u...

In my case, there is even one that is not duplication but quadruplication (if that's a word): 73-74-75-76 are the same. I found 9 other pairs too. This is getting a bit ridiculous.

Team is doing well for a casual team! Yes! We are ahead of Yermak's clan! :D Speaking of Yermak: that madman has decided to win 15 rune games with his other accounts, so that his clan is not down there mixing with the filthy casuals. He is the 8th best clan now (soon 6th) and we are not. The truth ...

And another Trog gift from the same game:

Code:: the +1 morningstar "Henay" {holy, *Corrode MR- Int+9} Trog gifted it to you on level 5 of the Depths.

Code:: b - the +12 demon whip "Dragonslayer" (weapon) {flame, rN+++ Str+2 Int-3 Dex+3}. Trog gifted it to you in an ice cave.

Yes! We are ahead of Yermak's clan!

On D:10, still pre-Lair:

Code:: The fire giant picks up the +7 great mace "Firestarter" {inner flame, rF++}.

Shouldn't this vault be closed by sealed doors or something? Feels a bit extreme.

wizard44 wrote:Is it worth switching to a hand crossbow at this point?

Hand crossbows are weapons for the early game. The problem is that this is true for shortbows as well. Is there no longbow somewhere in the game?

Edit: And by the way, the axe Arga is great. That is by far the best weapon you have.

Code:: the +8 large shield "Erumupni" {rElec rC+ MR+}

Of course, I am a longbow user. (And not formicid)

In a shop:

Code:: d + 1 gold the -7 cloak of Nemelex Xobeh's Hope {rC- Dex+6}

I'm interested in Tavern Snacks too.

Wait, the tentacle can attack you? I used it a lot recently and I never noticed this.

Wands are on option. Penetrating javelins are also good. Silent spectres are pretty fragile.

In a ziggurat there is so much XP that you can train up evo or throwing to a reasonable level lightning fast.

I would ask for armour as well. If you get a crystal plate or something like that, well, that sucks, but other options are probably worse. The only other thing that make sense: if you have something on your shopping list that you can't afford yet, acquire gold. You are training Charms right now - fo...

Am I the only one who do not understand this?

It is weird that the entrance is guarded by the toughest enemy you can find in the branch. The only similar example I can recall is that sometimes you see death yaks at the Lair entrance. Coming up next: an orb of fire on U:5.

Entrance fee: the Horn of Geryon

damerell wrote:It just wants to be shown the Horn of Geryon.

From one of my current games:

Code:: Trove: D:10 (give horn of Geryon)

Code:: This trove needs the horn of Geryon to function. Give it the item?

And yeah, it takes the horn.

Imagine playing 5+ hours a day, every day, for 7 months, only DEWz of Sif. (Probably significantly more than 5 hours, because I didn't count the lost games).

Are we sure that this is one person and not a team or a bot or something?

I wonder if people who vote for LRD still play the older version when it had the shatter utility

Nowadays it is just a damage spell that you cannot even use in half of the situations.

The most interesting thing in the evaluation: Duvessa/Minmay thinks that LRD is better than Vile Clutch. Yeah, LRD is not bad, but come on.

I guess that someone was clearly trolling in the voting. Corona, Gell's Gravitas and Ring of Flames all got a vote for being the best spell in their category.

Troves are always always useless. The weird way they are set up is that you can only enter near the end of the game (or never: I may have never seen a game with 5 resist potions for example). And near the end of the game you have everything you need or close. Finding potion or scrolls may be useful ...

So you'll only have rF+ against Cerebov, and he removes it with his sword, then what?

Can you really use nets on a bee? Aren't they tiny?

I'm pretty sure that a demon trident is not better than Wyrmbane.

It was achieved. Marking stepped-on squares, be they stepped on by players or monsters, no longer confers any benefit whatsoever. Some squares are still different from others, nobody's denying that. But as far as traps go, the game already keeps track of which tiles are unexplored. The game keeps t...

This does however further incentivize "clearing" a level (killing as many of the creatures on it as is reasonable before descending) while revealing fewer than "all the tiles" (as every revealed tile has associated risk) That's where floor items come in! Each unexplored tile cou...

Manual exploration, and using monsters to reveal traps, can be considered tedious activities that increase the chance of winning. With this change, manual exploration becomes less beneficial relative to autoexplore In my experience the exact opposite of this is true. Autoexplore takes you in stupid...

Don't play trunk until they fix the new trap thing. It happens sometimes that trunk is unplayable thanks to some new feature.

The torment could not have killed him. He died because he got hit with dispel undead. It's right there in the log. Yes, yes, going lichform at 25% HP with a Tzitzithing around the corner was a really bad move, nobody denies that. But without the torments this situation would have been manageable. A...

Your current character can kill a hundred yaks without using a single mana, just hitting them with the staff of fire. So I guess we are talking about a different character (an imaginary "pure caster") or something tougher than yaks.

So basically every tile is a trap? In what sense traps are "known" then? I understand nothing.

I've read the opening post, and I still have absolutely no idea what this change actually means. Can someone help me, and explain it?

Code:: 73694 | Pan | Entered the realm of Lom Lobon. 73696 | Pan | Got a magical rune of Zot

My first character that got into a rune branch, a SpEn, found an orb spider in the middle of a large room. It turned out that orbs of destruction are faster than spriggans, and I didn't know how to dodge orbs in open terrain. Now, many years later, with 170+ wins, I still don't know how to dodge orb...

You can amnesia spells like ice form and spider form to free up spell slots.

Also, read unknown scrolls to identify them.

Also, use [Code] tags for the character dump instead of spoiler, that way it's properly formatted.

A shop in V:3

Code:: 2105 gold - the +11 broad axe "Meni Kae" {speed, rPois rF++}

Zigs can be dangerous, especially for a melee-only character, and especially for a melee-only character with berserkitis. It is probably OK to try the first few floors, but what for? I would certainly go for the win.
Edit: Wow, I got ninjaed!

What is this "item level" thing? That the stuff cannot spawn on a D floor with lesser levels?

I'm doing gnolls right now. Mind you, this was not a streak, I died a hundred times. But Tedronai won all the berserkers in one streak, and when he ran out, he continued with random combos.

I think the opposite is true. With faith you get more piety, you can request more corpses to animate.

Also, 227k turns, wow.
