YASD - MiGl of Ru

Wednesday, 16th August 2017, 19:04 by Sharkie

Hi there

Any tips for my best game so far, before I make a stupid mistake and die of tabitis? I'm going for a 3 rune win (first win hopefully). Found the awesome mace quite early, and switched from Long Swords. I have not been able to find any type of shields yet, and I have sacrificed evokables fo Ru, so no flight for Shoals. Which runes would you recommend going for?

Dire flail deals more damage, I would enchant and use it, MR- is very bad. Or use greatmace, it's even better for MiGl because of high Maces aptitude and lack of magic. Do you have some plate of rF+ or MR+, it would be great with 6 scrolls of enchant armour.

Thursday, 17th August 2017, 04:28 by Sharkie

Only useful source of rF+ is the ring I carry, and no further MR+ is seen. Only plain +0 greatmaces exist, and no brand weapon scrolls. I will keep an eye out, and switch to some heavier maces.

I would forget about training up crossbows. Throwing is great and you have shoulds, meaning you can get a bunch on javilins eventualy, even if you don't do shoals right away, and throwing doesn't need enchant scrolls, which you are low on. Also, enchanting a +0 great mace to +3and training it to 20 skill is probably a good idea. You will find more enchant scrolls and probably get it to +9 eventualy and find a brand scroll, and you are sacing too much power right now by not upgrading your weapon. Check orc for any glowing plate, there might be an ego plate to enchant up. If not, at least enchant your boots. Saving enchant scrolls frequently doesn't increase your endgame power, and endgame you often find enough enchant scrolls anyuway or find a good artifact.

Thursday, 17th August 2017, 06:12 by VeryAngryFelid

Enchanting gloves is a good idea too, Int+3 is useless and you cannot evoke +Inv anyway.

Thursday, 17th August 2017, 06:21 by Sharkie

Just found a +2 eveningstar of pain. Would it be worth training necromancy to 8-10 and using that? But thanks for your tips, I'll look around for some plate. Which branch should I throw myself at next? Just did Elf 1-2.

Thursday, 17th August 2017, 06:35 by VeryAngryFelid

I would enchant that eveningstar but wouldn't bother with Necromancy, at least not until I get 15 levels in Shields for a regular shield (assuming there is a hand crossbow somewhere). Spider is usually easier than Elf 1-2. Then Vaults 1-4, Shoals 1-4, Depths 1-5, Vaults 5, Zot and win. If you want to do Crypt, it can be done before Depths.

Enchant the evening star by all means. I agree on waiting for training necro. Forget about crossbows, hand crossbow really sucks later in the get, you will get a lot of nice throwing ammo from shoals, and throwing works really well with shields. It also doesn't need your enchant scrolls.

Oh well. YASD, but at least I did better than usual. Totally avoidable death, but juuuuust another strike and the wasp will be dead, which is the wrong way to think. Thanks again for the tips, I'll bring it along for the next dead.

I find spark wasps quite scary, particularly without rElec.

I was going to recommend evocations to you, but Ru got there first. That's probably the one sacrifice I find most scary, although it's a bit less bad now that heal wounds, tele and haste wands are gone. Still, wands of clouds are very good, particularly in areas with many monsters of low health, like spider.

If you hadn't taken another swing, what would have been a better choice?

Friday, 18th August 2017, 10:22 by VeryAngryFelid

Blinking I think.

Code:: Q - 3 scrolls of blinking

Read ID scrolls until acquirement is known next time.

Well possibly last three swings. But blinking or potion of heal wounds (had so many), followed by tele scroll (was back up on cleared floor) would probably have done it. But that wasp did surprise with more damage than expected. I really like Ru, he makes my slightly careless play style more forgivable, but I don't think I'll sacrifice Evocations again, as quite a few interesting evokables dropped for me this run.

Friday, 18th August 2017, 10:46 by VeryAngryFelid

You were unable to drink potions due to sacrifice. I rate it second worst sacrifice (first one is inability to read scrolls). I don't care about evocations/love because I usually don't use them anyway.

Friday, 18th August 2017, 11:15 by 4Hooves2Appendages

Fear might have been fine too. I might have used tele when I saw Agnes, instead of fighting her.

Sacrificing scrolls is pretty bad, but love is likely worse. That's because with summons dangerous situations can usually be completely avoided. It's very slow though...

I like that Ru restricts options in the sense that it makes the game more streamlined.

Friday, 18th August 2017, 11:27 by VeryAngryFelid

Depends on player I think. My standard answer for bad situation is scroll of tele.

Edit. I love Ru because I can avoid using summons/Evo and be rewarded for that instead of feeling stupid

I have a bad habit of saving wands for situations where thing are really ugly, which usually means it's too late. So I agree on that sacrifice.

I usually avoid summons, because I keep thinking they steal all my XP, although I usually prefer the summoner in other games (sit back and let others get hurt). But being dead is no XP at all. I guess I should try play a summoner character to try and get over it.
