1. I'd get haste before Cblink, but both are good to have. You're gonna want a good single target conjuration. Iron Shot is my favorite for this build. 2. That PDA sounds really nice. Spriggans spell aptitudes are insane, so you can overcome that penalty. I'd try to wear that. Their armor skill is t...

I'm playing this exact build and I just got the 11th rune. I'm about to finish, so here's my advice. 1. Don't use bows. Get Iron Shot. 2. Train Short blades more. You're getting to a point where with those stats, certain tough enemies/uniques won't be one shotted. 3. I wouldn't train armour. Try che...

Try this. Whoops. Didn't realize I did that. Anyway. Cleared Slime without the slightest bit of a problem. I'm confident in my ability to take Pan, but I'm gonna go for Tomb first because I hate the idea of being in Pan without the Str required to carry all that my greedy heart desires. Maybe in To...

I got my HW wand and I also got a Vampiric Short Sword. Now, how does Vampiricism work with stabbing? If I completely one shot something, do I still roll a 1d(Damage)?

I haven't played a stabber since Stabbing was its own skill, so I have some questions. 1. I know stabbing damage is based off your stealth, so does this mean only your stealth skill number, or does stabbing get a damage boost from all boosts to your stealth? 2. I know stabbing damage is ALSO based o...

lmfao

Immediately after posting this, I blindly quaff the only un-ID'd stack of potions I have. It's a stack of 5 and I'm only at Lair, so I figure it can't be something worthwhile and it's Cure Mutation. There goes my need for this topic.

So, I'm worshipping Dithmengos and I quaff a potion of beneficial mutation. I gain "breathe flames 1". Normally, when something is prohibited by a God, it is written in dark red letters. Under my ability list, Fire Breath is not red. I can only imagine that I can't use it, but does anyone ...

A Spriggan Enchanter? I have no remarkable Daggers and I just got to the Lair. The only runed Dagger I have is one Psyche dropped, so I know it has 25% chance of being Distortion. That said, I don't know how good of an idea it is to equip since I don't know how suited Distortion is for this build. I...

Jumping is nice for closing in on Yaktaur and other things that you might not have a method of dealing with at range, but more often than not, simply running to safer ground is preferable. This isn't necessarily the best option against something like a Centaur Warrior, but with boots of running, it'...

no Rpois at all :oops: I butchered every swamp drake spamming mephitic cloud or something like that on me and no hides ;~;. Off to the swamps I go to face the 28 headed hydra :mrgreen: Swamp Drakes don't drop hides. Swamp Dragons do. Without rPois, I'd go for Swamp rune first, assuming you've alrea...

I think poison is fine and you've all gone soft.

I'd like to do this

First of all, I'd go for that Quick Blade.

I'd also clear Orc. It's easy enough to pull away a couple Preists at a time, especially as a Spriggan. If you'd rather not, Snake isn't too hard with rPois. Don't do the the floor now.

I'd go Claymore over Bastard Sword/Shield.

You should have killed Cerebov. With your kind of build, the Pan/Hell Lords are surprisingly easy, Cerebov is still kinda tough and it's a fun fight.

You're playing a Draconian Abyssal Knight? Weird, I just won a 3 rune game with that combo today. Mine was White, not Green, but still a coincidence.

Well, I completely forgot that Wyrmbane granted rF and extra AC, so that was perfect advice. I did just that, then since I know where the stairs are (not good) I opted for the teleport. I had already cleared one and a half of the four lungs, plus there was a lot of open tiles above the actual orb ch...

Never blink in Abyss

You have a lot of consumables. You might want to consider leaving some in your stash. Granted, you have conservation, but you really don't need that much. As for resistances, bring something for everything. You have rF++ which you'll need for Orbs of Fire, but do you have rMut? I'm guessing not beca...

Ahhh, it worked! Thanks a bunch, guys.

I'm embarrassed to say that when I referred to myself as a dullard, I was being kind.

My crawl directory? What specifically is that? And when you say unpack fresh trunk, do you mean just the application, or all the folders that come with the fresh trunk?

I'm trying to update the character I'm playing to the latest version and though I was given some advice, I'm a bit of a dullard and am in need of more apparently. I know where to download the latest trunk, but beyond that, I don't know how to get my character into the new version. I'm using the wind...

Bump for assistance

Upgrade the game to the latest version and then use restore abilities to reduce the draining effect. So, if I downloaded the newest version, how would I get this character on it? A n00b question, but I'm pretty clueless about this sort of thing. I normally would avoid being so badly drained, but it...

I have 14, but apparently not the newest one, because Restore Abilities didn't do anything. =\ I'm so badly Drained, I don't even know how I can possibly recover. Help?

Who's idea was it to last this long?

Just came across my old DrAK ghost in the Vaults and I'd rather not go to the Abyss, or have the floor Corrupted. Just wondering.

Is that some kind of record? How many levels did you go up from killing him? It's definitely crazy beating Cerebov at such a low level, but I doubt he even gained one level. Cerebov gives 15000 xp and in order to go from level 16 to 17 you need 37500 xp. He was at 44% between 16 and 17, so unless m...

Your Venom Short sword is not good for end game. Most things will be poison resistant. Venom is a great brand early on and in certain branches, but I'd move to Long Blades. I would stop going down in the dungeon. Instead, go to The Lair and take it to the bottom, which is 8 floors. After that, I'd g...

6) Saving all my scrolls of mapping for hell branches was a good idea! Finding staircases quickly = less time in the branch = good This is exactly what I save Magic Mapping for when I know I'm going for 15 runes. Finding the staircase in Hell as fast as possible is very useful. All in I'm very happ...

While I completely understand the urge to kill every unique you come across, I completely agree that it's a terrible idea.

If you're like me and don't like letting things live, just try to focus on the theme of being a thief in the night. Get in, get the Rune, get out. It's fun.

I've been trying SpEn out finally, few questions for ya'll 1 - Can Stabbing get you through to Zot: 5? What about The Slime Pits? 2 - Any advice on the extended game? I understand ninja-ing runes but I can't imagine how you'd, for example, get through the Tombs or kill Cerebov (can't leave that fuc...

You realize that gastronok has one of the slowest movement speeds in the game, right? >_>

Never read-ID scrolls while worshipping Yredelemnul.

I would never wait until Temple to ID, that's too late. This might be true, but I like having a big enough stack to know what's Identify so I don't waste an EA/recharging scroll on Jewlery or a Potion. This is exceptionally annoying, because even after identifying ID scrolls, you still run the risk...

I had the same hangup, to be honest. I had this mental barrier for the first few floors, but I quickly realized being cursed is a minor nuisance at best and eventually becomes a non issue. Then again, when I pulled off my SpEn of Ash 15 rune victory, I found the Spriggan's Knife very early, so cursi...

Right, Skill Boosts are great for anyone, I was just highlighting what I think makes him tailor made for a SpEn. Stabbing is very powerful, but can be dangerous when things don't go off the way you were hoping. Spriggans are great for escaping, but Ash makes it a lot less likely for you to get caugh...

Convoker recall isn't something that just wears off like summoning, unfortunately. Unless I'm mistaken, Cerebov is there to stay. Can you Blink past him?

I have no idea what linesprint is, but if a Convoker can summon Cerebov, it sounds downright hellish. You have NO teleport? That sucks. Also, "somewhat resistant to hostile enchantments" immediately makes me think you're going to get paralyzed by that Sphinx and with Cerebov in sight, that...
