If you have doubt about items/spells/enemies/effects/etc. in the game, the knowledge bot is always the better source to consult ;) Well, this is a randart that truly creates a lot of doubts. Later on, if you manage to find some others way to increase your ac, could be a quite useful armour - still i...

Well, this is an unfortunate but not utterly unexpected result: hells, pan and tomb are really nasty places and is quite common that inexperienced players who enter in them for the first time(s) lose their characters - even if they could be strong enough to do a 15 runes win. Dungeon crawl teaches l...

I'd go crypt now: the first 4 level should be really easy for that character like yours: it's inhabited mainly by mid-level undead (skeletal warrior, wraiths, ghouls..) and sometimes by Boris, to ruin your day. Just be aware that isn't so uncommon to find a big party of the entrance of the Tomb of A...

I believe the devs want to avoid that sort of wrath scumming and plan to, at some point in the future remove the ability to do that. Trog's wrath is nasty but scummable. It needs an overhaul, not to be made harder. We could discuss about the fact Trog's wrath is so hard (magic god's wrath is ten mi...

I've recently played a MfBe which switched to TSO for extended game (btw, version 0.9). From my experience, I think that Trog needs a couple of adjustment. First of all, training magic skills don't cause penance but only piety loss. This make really easy to train significantly spellcasting before ab...

"The RNG giveth, and the RNG taketh away. Most of the time, it just taketh."

Just roll another naga, I've learned that characters who find amazing stuff early one are going to die painfully and shamefully, while ones who survive until the end find most of the time only crap :lol:

From the bot "If you have an EV penalty (such as by wearing a shield, or armor (reduced somewhat by armor skill)), attack delay is slowed to max(10, 1d10+2dAEVP) - UC/5." Considering it's a quite ugly formula, I'd say from my experience of a NaTm of chei (in 0.7 and 0.8) than an armour wit...

"I Dunno, ask to your buddy Cere!" I'm posting this victory mainly because it's probably my last in 0.9, as webtiles has finally been upgraded to .10. Quite ironically, I managed to forget one rune, just know that crawl helps to remember to pick that shiny little ball worth (?) of so much ...

Just a little clarification: you can Id most of the jewellery, which doesn't auto-id on equip, through actions that reveal their property. For example, casting an ice-school spell identifies ring of fire/ice, teleporting identifies ring of c-tele and so on... Normally I don't find really important t...

EDIT: Also, in wizard mode, how do you make a +5 of something. (Or specifically, a +5 ring of protection.) You can get one +5 ring pressing & -> o -> = -> 2 I suppose jewellery is ordered, but I can't neither find the standard of that ordering nor a complete list, so please don't ask me how get...

the ring "Deuse The" {rF+ rC+ rN+ Dex+2}

In a game where I've already gone quite deep but I hadn't found any other (decent) randart and where Trog is just trolling me.
As I've already met Mennas and Mara, my bet is that on the next level I'm going to be blown by Boris in one turn.

I wouldn't bother to raise stabbing as it's really unreliable if you don't have disabling spell ( Ensorcelled Hibernation, Confuse,Invisibility...). On the other hand, I would train both dodging and stealth: you have a quite low evasion for a lv12 sp, soon you could meet enemies able to 2-shot your ...

I've recently rolled a VpEn, who died shamefully on Tomb:2, and I too need some advice, although for late-end game :mrgreen: Anyway, I can firstly give some some advices about I learned from the first part of the game. They're mainly focused on VpEn: - as said by eeviac, first thing to learn is to p...

Well, this character did an amazing job in all the place I was afraid of. Elf:5 was a breeze, because Alistair's intoxication and stabbing make wonders here. The loot was terrible, but at least there was a shop selling a quick blade, which I promptly pain-branded. Armed with that, I easily annihilat...

This is the first time I'm play a stealthy character (well, 2nd time, but in the other case I worshipped Nemelex, so I had enough firepower to destroy all the dungeon and main branches :lol:) and now I'm having some problems, because I'm missing reliably way to kill stronger enemies - for this reaso...

Yes, I still can't believe that is possible to end a game in a roguelike without dying or fleeing with shame from the dungeon :lol:

Nice! Not dying a few times early is quite impressive -- I die the most then too. If you escaped with the Orb, though, why is the thread titled YASD? Yet Another Successful Dive? It's Yet Another Succesful Dungeoneering! You are both right :lol: I'm changing now the subject, sorry about that it was...

I've just ascended with my Deep Elf Ice Elementalist and 15 runes in the pack! The two things which make this win different from my others are the fact is the first time I've realized a streak of wins :mrgreen: and the fact that I've completed a small challenge: "Win with as many runes as possi...

Does someone know if is possible to stop autoexplore if certain conditions are meet? The first case I'd like to stop is when a transformation is almost over. I've tried inserting "force_more_message = Your transformation is almost over" into the RC but it shows an advise which only pauses ...

For the challenges, most of others don't appeal me, one I may try is "Win with as many runes as possible collected while already carrying the orb". Actually, I've a SEEE who's crying for vengeance, maybe I'll roll another EE who could think to beat this challenge ;) If I do it, I'll post ...

Have all your posts here thanked. It is worth it. Thanks man :D Awesome stuff :) Must've been funny having a game where a D2 sigmund is the least of your concerns. Any more challenges ahead? Yes, when Stone Giants and big trolls wander around searching for you, the normal treats in the dungeon beco...

I meant with this particular game. You obviously survived. I would assume Trog did not try hard enough. No, I believe Trog tried as hard as other times, I simply was more ready to face his wrath than before. I learned something from all my precedent failing, what do you think? :D For example I've b...

Well... I initially tried FeBe, due to the bonus lives and it was quite brutal : I had to rely to blinking and teleport scrolls to escape from the Brothers' in Arm Trog send against me and in the end I got killed after I had burned all my consumables. With Sp has been quite easier: Sp can outrun eve...

I've just won with this character! I've chosen to end it quickly - the forth rune wasn't intentional: I grabbed it while running in the Abyss after a stupid self-banishment! - only because the early game has been obliviously *very* harsh, so I was quite afraid to die in the harder branches. Anyway, ...

Nemelex has gifted me some nice decks of wonders and dungeon, in the end :D I've never played a character who's always short on cash like this :lol: Meanwhile, my SpBe is going quite well - he has cleared all the main branches, except the last floor, and swamp and shoals - and he has just acquired a...

Recently, I've found in the LearnDB some suggestive challenges. http://boccha.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/challenge-accepted-1.png I'm actually trying the Trog one (win a berserker after abandoning Trog on turn 0 and without rejoining) and it's more funny than I expected! I had to survive the very e...
