Editing original post with an update: Cleaning out the Depths before going for runes. Stabbing is a lot of fun! I'm doing a lot of first things this run. First vampire, first Dith, first stabber, first time I've memorized this many spells. Any advice for proceeding is greatly appreciated! And no, no...

I had a ton of cure pots, so I downed a couple of them. There's a few in shops if I ever need more. I've made some progress. Whipped up some GDA at the first opportunity, and have exactly enough strength to bear the encumbrance. Of course Oka gifts me some distressingly +10 Plate right after, hmm. C...

Oh wow, I can't believe I overlooked the mindelay on the Claymore! Definitely jumping on that, I did a little curare runaround and picked up about 15 needles.

Awwwlllrriiighty. Zero branded Plate, anywhere explored thus far. I did find some decently enchanted plate and went with that, as my EV was still acceptable. Poked around the depths, slayed 3 golden dragons, but no hides. Officially at the part of the game where I'm parinoid about getting lazy and e...

Yeah, Oka's been being stingy with the armor. I'll stick with the Claymore, it's been stomping thus far.

Alriiight, I've gotten two runes down, switched out the steam dragon armor for the FDA, found an awesome claymore to replace the sword of berserkeritis, I pump all my scrolls into it, already imagining the TSO blessed version. When of course I get a bastard sword and a large shield. My fight/dodge/a...

Yup, the most unique race/class/god combo ever. I've gotten about this far several times, and always seem to find my death somewhere in the branches or peeking around the depths. I'm hoping for some insight on what my next steps should be. I'd love to switch to TSO and tackle extended, but that's a ...

Things are going well, I've got Snake and Shoals cleared to 4, I suppose I'll go deeper into the dungeon, then go clean up Orc, and do the branches before tackling Vault. This is my first real hybrid character! I've got Haste to a decently low failure rate but it still shows as very dangerous to cas...

What a game it's been so far. There I was, cursing merfolk for always dying to poison after having quaffed my last cure and running away from an adder, the only escape is unexplored downstairs. With HP in the single digits, I descend, expecting to spawn next to an Ogre. Nope. Just a rat. And an awes...

Hah, sorry, didn't mean to leave that on. I wore it for most of Snake, it helped with rPois and I didn't run into any problems.

Yeah, I'm sitting on some really nice spellbooks, but I'm not worried about that just yet. I'm super into getting more EV, even if I eventually switch out for heavier armor, EV is EV. I'll hold on to my ?ea scrolls for a while, most likely. Oh, wth is this, you need a rune to enter Vaults now? Damn,...

Nothing better than +1 Plate. Which is why I used one of my ?ew on a mottled hide, and kick into some dodging until I find some CPA, I'm sure it'll pop up!!

I'd love it if I could just get some general advice for where I'm at right now. Clearing Lair and Orc was easy. Y'see, I hadn't encountered a single axe until about D8, and by the time I found Lair, there was nothing but hand axes, I had a scroll of acquirement and thought 'eh, what the hell' and go...

It was actually -8 to EV, without the AGI rings. Not to worry, I got splatted fairly quickly in a situation where the extra AC wouldn't have helped anyway, so it goes.

Looks like I got excited over nothing.

So I roll up a MfAk, banking on the awesome polearm aptitude and the +2/+2 spear right out of the gate. Find the Abyss exit nice and easy, and what's the first thing I see upon entering the dungeon but a +2GDA, just sitting there. So now it's become a game of fighting against a -3 Armor apt. How do ...

I have both antimagic and Holy wrath great maces that could be upgraded close to the point the flaming one is. I do have some Ice Dragon armor I could enchant, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for some GDA or CPA. Also, if there's anything I'm forgetting to ctrl+f for.

I appreciate all the advice, guys! I've stayed the course and given up on giving Trog up, and am pretty much right to the point where my first win was. Cleaned shop in Vaults, Shoals and Snake, popped into Hell to grab the horn for access to the trove, had some very close calls in Zot1, where I lear...

I was wearing the MR cloak because I had just cleared Orc and was stacking MR, switching that out now. I do have quite a few rings of rC, I was planning on carrying them around and throwing them on when appropriate, but if Plate is better, maybe that's where I should be sinking the EA scrolls. M&...

I recently got my first win with a GrBe. So naturally, I start trying out a bunch of other combinations, and make mincemeat of them all, usually well before finishing Mines. It's great because I'm learning, but the frustration settles in and I roll up another GrBe. Once again, things are rolling smo...

Just ctrl-F'd a +1 cloak of Pnemnaas {rPois rF++ Dex-1} That should do it. Anything else I should be ctrl-F'ing?

Well, I dipped into V:5, stairdanced some, and then dropped down an escape hatch, right onto the silver Rune, nice! Did some work clearing down to D:27, and now I'm thinking I'm ready to go ahead into Zot! Give this char a once over and tell me everything I'm doing wrong. Probably too many evokables...

Well now I'm split between anti magic and Holy! I think I'm leaning more towards antimagic, since I don't really care about extended, I just wanna get my first ascension in! Also, I'm not exactly sure where I should be headed next. Slime pits for third rune? Elf for some exp? Upgrade the holy mace a...

Code:: 11685 | Lair:2 | Identified the +2 pair of boots of Cuntuown {Dex+4 Int+4 Acc+4} (You found it on level 2 of the Lair of Beasts)

Yeah, crazy enough nothing with rF has popped up! Save for a single ring of fire. A ton of MR gear though. Okay, I'm abandoning my delusions of switching to TSO/shields. Which of my many great maces should I sink my scrolls into? I'm leaning towards flaming since it's been so damn good to me, but I ...

Took everyone advice and enchanted the bejeezus out of my CPA. Trogs being a smartass and gifting me all sorts of slings and quarterstaffs. Considering making the switch to TSO since I have the amulet of faith, and I just unlocked Crypt. Down to Vault 4, had a scare with Mennas, but managed to beat ...

Inspired by the recently posted Easy Lazy Way to a 15 rune game, I fired up a Gargoyle Berserker, and have gotten further than I've ever been in crawl! Two runes under my belt and I'm wondering where to head next. Of course I have a few other questions as well. I had very little trouble with Spider ...

No mottled hides anywhere! Ice and troll hides are laying around, but I only have 2 scrolls of enchant armor. It's also been a bad run for jewelry, though I did drop the invisoring, literally that warding is the only amulet that's dropped. I have a ton of rings of see invis, might as well pop on tha...

Alright! Short term goal reached! I'm starting to get jealous of all these awesome long blades laying around, especially after clearing Hall of Blades. Is that something I should ignore, and just stick with my shorties? Also picked up some FDA, is that something I should get or will it blow my steal...

Jeez, things are getting kinda hairy. I'm down to D:19 with only a few close calls, still no vault. Should I consider just popping into one of the branches already?

Oh and I've listened to the ring advice! The dex rings were on because I was running away from somethingorother and evo wasn't up to snuff yet for invis. It is now, though! Also shields got a few too many points pumped into it, oh well. Sucks the only buckler is -2, but it's helped. As have the need...

Cleared Orc. Nothing too crazy at the shops :/ I should just keep doing D until I find Vaults at this point, yes? Again, any suggestions on optimal jewlery/weapon setup is appreciated!

I did a little running around and grabbed some darts/blowgun/needles. Hah, you noticed my trouble with hydras, eh? Piety got low, and two headed ogres were getting one shotted. Trogs hand and my one scroll of blink saved my ass, just barely.

I'm eager for my first win. Or at least to get to XL20! I've been splatting a bevy of LoFi and KoBes. This guy is having a decent run, but I've got some equipment questions, mainly jewlery and weapons. Is +8Dex of AC better than a ring of Prot+2? I'm not too sure about that randed ring either, does ...

I appreciate the tips, folks! Especially regarding skills, that's where I feel like my knowledge is weakest. This game is all about learning things. Like learning that a Titanic Slime will eventually land a hit on you, and it's going to hurt bad. I'm also learning to take breaks. You get a good stre...

I'm at it again! Just looking for advice, where should I go next... I've got a good thing going with the amulet of gourmand and sustain on my ring. I know I probably shouldn't have trained maces and flails so high, but that rand dropped really early game. Went ahead and memorized haste, for what goo...

Awesome advice, I really appreciate it!
