Re: YASD!!! - DsAK (please advise!)

I wouldn't have gone to Elf yet. Usually I do Lair rune branches, Vaults:1-4 and Depths before going to Elf. Of course, Elf 1 and 2 aren't that bad but there's not much to gain either and Elf:3 is much harder. Of course, with Corrupt you can kill most of the end vault easily, but still it's dangerous.

Also, even if you could have done Elf:2, you should have stayed out of the Hall of Blades vault (just leave the runed doors be and don't take any escape hatches from the other levels). You didn't need a better weapon from there anyway.

You had +0 boots and two scrolls of enchant armour. Not good. Likewise a +7 weapon and 9 scrolls of enchant weapon. You could have made yourself a glaive of distortion also.

Did you find any misc evokables? They are really good (train Evo to 10-15 eventually).

I hope you were wearing that +6 AC ring by default and only switched to see invis occasionally.

Re: YASD!!! - DsAK (please advise!)

Not being in Elf (at least not at XL17) would be a good start? Actually wearing the great AC ring over that SInv one? Having more Fighting and Polearms and way less Charms (what even happened here)? Oh, wait, you tried to make Haste castable without training any Spellcasting? That's not usually the best idea! And having something like 6-8% with wizardry on is usually enough. You also could've enchanted your boots. Could've been hasted when things went sour, actually you could've been hasted regardless, you had probably like 4% fail on Haste with wizardry. Better luck next time!

Re: YASD!!! - DsAK (please advise!)

My advice is: Heavy armor melee. Do not train magic skills until you've gotten two runes and you have total defenses at least 60. Haste is nice to have in V:5 and zot, but it's absolutely not worth the investment and defense trade-off in the midgame. It only makes sense in the endgame because at that point, you've got your armour skill, str, and dragon armour so there's no longer a defense trade-off.

You should've used a distortion weapon too. You probably wouldn't have died if you used corruption. Use that shit.

Re: YASD!!! - DsAK (please advise!)

And lastly it is possible to raid hall of blades before level 20, but you will always want to have one or two invisibilities online. Its a lifesaver against animated weapons.

Re: YASD!!! - DsAK (please advise!)

I would point out, too, that the proximal cause of your death is misuse of banishment. The antimagic eveningstar that killed you is magic immune. That is to say, you can't banish it. When you realized you couldn't take the thing on, you should have used corrupt (which would've cleared hall of blades for you) or teleported.

I'd also underscore what Sar said -- If you're going to wear garbage armor so you that you can cast haste you need to actually cast haste. Anytime anything remotely threatening is happening, you need to be hasted, or you're just a dude with shitty armor. Of course, you really just shouldn't've had haste, but y'know.

Re: YASD!!! - DsAK (please advise!)

Excellent points above. Just in case you don't know, Spellcasting is 1/4 as effective as spell schools wrt. spellpower and success%. Specifically, training Charms from 16 to 17 costs as much as training Spellcasting from 0 to about 6.5. If you would have left Charms to 16, you could have trained SC to about 5.

But I agree that trying to get haste that early is not a very good plan in the first place, it takes a huge amount of experience.

Don't do it. Your character would still be alive if you didn't eat the meat.
