Dungeon level 20 was funny with 4 uniques: Margery, Sojobo, Mara and Xtahua(lured him to the level 19); but dungeon level 26 was (and still is) real challenge...screenshot: http://oi61.tinypic.com/15ysw1z.jpg Need badly some source of conservation, as my scrolls get burn by fire giants, dragons, ten...

Aye, that is what Im thinking too. Thanks on comments!

Eh hehe

^_^ My the best scores were with Naga and with Chei (got to the Zot 1), so decided to try it again and see if I can beat the score.

Ok after my DECj died in a silly(stupid) way (wanted to try freshly enchanted scimitar of flaming on an hill giant, was realy bad idea :/), I've decided to punch things with fists for a while. But again got to the point where Im not so sure about skills progress. Should i train UC/fighting, armour/d...

Aye, there was minotaur sitting on an exit in some dark corner. ^_^ I thought that zombie was "real" minotaur.
Damn claustrophobic place.

Ok there is this "isle" surrounded with lava, and there was minotaur zombie and some loot there, so I killed zombie, now how to get out? Should I find some kind of exit gate? ## #.# #. .. #.###.### ### . #...#.#.#..... ###.......### # #.˜˜˜˜˜.# #.˜...˜.# #.§...˜.# #.˜...§.# #.˜˜˜˜˜.# #.......

Yup, +1 robe of cold resistance (4/27), and +2 robe of postive energy (5/27).
What is good time to train armour skill? Started Lair so I thought some armour will help.

Theres an +0 scale mail (AC 8/EV 22(21 with buckler)) and an +2 chain mail of fire resistance (12/19); but wearing that chain mail cripples spellcasting, so should I train armour skill a bit to reduce penalty? Have not found ?EA yet. No gloves/boots/cloaks too. :/ Just made an stash, will do some in...

Inspired by Berlioz amazing game, decided to play few Conjurers, but dont have much experience with casters (not sure which spells to learn and which to ignore). So right now Im not sure which spells to learn, have access to some Earth/Fire spells(plan for later is to have that Iron Shot online), al...

Congrats, well done!

:thumbsup:

Aye, Im using spider form atm. Yup I like that calrity mutation. ^_^

Quaffed unknown pot, turned out to be potion of mutation, got horns 1, clarity, Int +2. So is it ok to have horns 1 on Transmuter? Wiki says that Beastly Appendage gives horns 2. Could not cast Beastly Appendage; had to remove boots, now I can have only talons 3. Should I use pot of cure mutation ? ...

What is "good fighter/wizard", a Fi that casts Mephitic Cloud and Summon Imp? I think a "good fighter/wizard" is an spellcaster who have trained some fighting/weapon/defensive skills, or that would be "wizard/fighter". ^_^ Merfolk Ice Elementalist using polearms is an ...

wtf, I dont have a luck with these teleports o.O opened a door just to find an orc gang, used teleport, but got teleported just back there -_- There is an open door here. Damage: -8%(-3hp) hp: 92%(31hp) As you read the scroll of teleportation, it crumbles to dust. You feel strangely unstable. The or...

Hydra caught me unprepared, blinked and teleported...just to get in the middle of bears bunch -__- Heh guess I casted teleport in panic I could escape that hydra with just blink.

Rot resistance aka rRot;
if you get Rot status then heal it with potions of curing and recover your missing HP, 1 potion will cure 1 HP (guess potions of heal wounds works too, tho never tried those).

Nice, congrats! :thumbsup:

Aye, thats what I've been doing too.

Heh, thought this would be a winner. Got 3 runes again; mistake was going to the Vault 5 that early; battle there left me exhausted for the rest of the dungeon. :/ Anyway Death Knight background is nice, I would recommend it to begginers, as those summons/gifts realy help to get through.

Think Im carring too many of these rings around ^_^ Found +2 plate armour of fire resistance, should I put it on instead of +4 ring mail of magic resistance? Also I can buy fire dragon armour, and have lots of enchant armour scrolls, can make it +8. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.13.1 (console) ...

for HODK I would mix str and int, with more int - planning to wear plate. Str and dex and getting more dodging, less spells also seems fine. I'd still use plate though, you have good str and good Armour apt and DK abilities don't care about your encumbrance. Aren't you glad you stuck with polearms?...

The latest update, had some nice god gifts (freezing wraith, phantasmal warrior and skeletal warrior, but didnt keep them alive -.- guess I have to improve my micromanagement skills). Found few books including the book of Necromancy and the book of the Warp; should I go for necromancy/charms/translo...

Started to play Hill Orcs (new favourite race, beside Nagas :)) Got few Abyssal Knights to the mid game but then splated them 'cause silly mistakes and decisions ^_^ Wanted to try Death Knight background, plan was to use polearms, and build like melee char, fighting/polearms, armour/dodging, but the...

Petrify, form the book of Geomancy, is realy nice spell, can be life saver in hairy situations. Some kind of area of effect spells are helpful for the Lair. Should I enchant my long sword with my scrolls? Or wait until I get a better weapon? If you ask me i wouldnt use enchant scrolls on +0,+0 long ...

It invariably chooses a path I would not even if it is marginally faster than shift-arrow. (OK sometimes when there is nothing around it is insanely fast but that doesn't happen much in the branches.) You can customize autoexplore with these options: travel_delay = 20 (defaults to -1 for online ser...

This was fun ride, first time entered Zot, but I screwed it eventually. Guess Im inexperienced. >.> Made excursion to the Crypt before entering Zot, but that turned out to be bad decision, got lot of drain, rot, stats lost, and whatever. Still it was fun ride, I enjoyed it. Killed some nasty uniques...

Still, with all my rC, I'm tempted to give Cocytus a chance. I took a quick dip in there, but I'm not sure how bad of an idea it is to do so. I have splashed XL 27 char in the Cocytus (and I had 3 runes ^_^). Be careful with ice fiends(that dude actually killed my char), they are nasty (cast tormen...

Interesting. Have you tested it in unusual levels, like Abyss, Shoals or Slime? Oh, nope, I have not tried; Im not that familiar with wiz mod, Im kinda newbie in DCSS. I was interested too in how to improve autoexplore so I've stumbled on this topic (while I was stumbling, I have learnt some other ...

If I read the code correctly, it ranges from 0 to 1000. Currently my preference is for 200. It's hard to say anything really helpful though, as the behaviour can seem strange/unexpected until you get a handle on it. I'm still playing around with different numbers and it's all rather unscientific be...

Found this cool ring of Vitality (regen, +15HP),
but looks like I have bad luck with blinks/teleports lately. >.>
gang of skeletal warrios ambushed me, had to tele away, just to teleport in the middle of an orge gang; that crystal spear hurt a lot. ouch

vulsuck wrote:That seems like really bad luck. Maybe it's not a good idea to wear ID jewelry without remove curse.

Aye, didnt have any of those remove curse scrolls; guess I was curious about amulet, and curiosity killed the cat.

okey

just got +0 wizard hat of intelligence from the Gastronok, guess that will do the job same.

Started Demigod Conjurer, I like how things going; found some cool spellbooks, Young Poisoner's Handbook, book of Clouds, book of the Earth. For now I was using magic dart, battlesphere and dazzling spray, with occasionally mephitic cloud and few mystic blasts. Some suggestions on other spells (from...

Nice moment to find out that cursed amulet is actually amulet of stasis ^__^ Aim: a troll (lightly wounded) The bolt of fire hits the troll. The troll is heavily wounded. The troll barely misses you. The troll claws you but does no damage. You feel better. The troll closely misses you. The t...

Aye ok, I get it; but instead of removing this completely Spriggan and centaur characters have difficulty raising piety you could add something like this: Well, Centaurs speed means they can actually cheimove around in combat to get into a better position without being horribly mangled en route. You...

but I also see no synergy between blade hands and Chei.

>>>

as the Unarmed Combat damage from Blade Hands is greatly improved by the boost to dexterity and strength.

This is also true:

Spriggan and centaur characters have difficulty raising piety

why you removed that ?

Heh, I knew you were bitching.

Anyway, pretty damned disgusted with Crawl, myself Oh boy why? You can have a lot of fun while playing this game, it has realy nice diversity. So many species/backgrounds... Try to give your characters an role, e.g. fighter/mage, fighter/thief, spellcaster using only longblades and bucklers, monk w...

Wait, aren't spriggans (barely) faster than spores? So you could have outran it? I guess I could, but I just went down to new level, didnt know where to run (unexplored territory), and that realy came fast, I mean spore, it was next to the orc wizard, I threw dart, dart missed, saw spore was going ...

Well didnt expect that to happen. Wanted to hit that spore with dart so it would explode right into a face of that orc wizard... alas, 2 turns later it explode into my face...well I didnt expect that would kiil me, had full hp (36). :-O I guess Ensorcelled Hibernation or Confuse works on giant spore...

I dont agree with blaming Chei for char death. When my char die I dont blame Chei. but his choice to worship Chei definitely lowered his chances of surviving and thus contributed to his death, nonetheless. Many other choices, decisions and actions can lead to char death. but we should be clear that ...

When people ask to recommend them good combos, they usually ask to recommend them good combos. Otherwise, you can win pretty much any combo in the game, yes. I agree with that; but I dont agree with this: he was putting him/herself in a weaker position by worshiping Chei in this case. In my opinion...

Nice elaboration, and I am well aware of things you said, it matches my playing experience(first paragraph about stats). But if someone decides to take NaFi of Chei, then I guess they know what they are doing and they know how to build that kind of characer/role, and what to expect from it, and how ...

@and into Just wanted to say that Stealth is useful skill and that helps to survive certain situations. And still I think that he would had more chances to survive that encounter if he had some points into the Stealth skill (XX% chance is better then 0% chance). Naga Fighter is almost literally the ...

because its the worst possible god you can choose for that race and the worst possible race you can choose for that god just off topic: The game is winnable even with that, as you say the worst, combination, right? Maybe that kind of play-style is not optimal or practical for you, but then I dont s...

Having 47% is much better then 0%, eh?
Im newbie and stealth is an easy way to increase my chances to survive
(especially with +5 aptitude, with little exp investment I can increase those XX% to survive).
