Obvious question: What's my acquirement?

I'm thinking I should switch from spell schools to Armour and Shield for a bit, to see if I can reduce failure rates more effectively.

I'm also questioning the wisdom of my current weapon - should I go get the +1 demon blade of freezing or +3 demon trident of freezing I pulled from the Ice Cave and start building a new melee line?

And, Swamp or Spider? With no rPois, I'm not fond of either option.

Re: CIP: DsFi of Yred

Well, a flail is a *much* worse base weapon type than either demon weapon, OTOH 14 is a not-insignificant amount of M&F to just forget about at this point in the game.

Re: CIP: DsFi of Yred

Did the game not generate a morningstar yet? In answer to your question --- if you don't have rPois yet when the time comes, I'd do Swamp. It's probably more survivable without, and you could get swamp dragon armour.

Nothing interesting. Stock +0 morningstars.

Headed for the Swamp, then.

EDIT: Argh. Over-run on the stairs to the Swamp. Tried stair dancing, got teleported away from the stairs, used healing and teleport scrolls, but eventually lost.

You don't know any spells.


Your skill choices seems a little bit strange to me.

Also, your acid dragon scales and the kite shield were very questionable equipment choices. A +6 flail is also not a good choice for offense in Swamp. I am also not a big fan of the new Cloak of the Thief, fog on damage is much worse than evocable fog.

Re: CIP: DsFi of Yred

I don't know how much of the enchantment on the flail was natural versus how much was done with scrolls; but I'd take an unbranded morningstar over a flail of protection.

Well, I was aiming for spells. I just didn't have anything that could work at that point. I suppose I could have poured my XP into defensive options, or focused on one set of spells rather than looking at a generalized group.

The kite shield was leftover from startup. Should I have switched to a buckler?

The cloak was just the best I could find.

As for the armor and flail...I found the flail at +4, and I didn't know that a +0 morningstar is better, and I really don't understand why one is better than the other. I have the same problem with armor. The scales were equivalent to my starting armor with lower encumbrance, so it seemed like a good idea.

Re: CIP: DsFi of Yred

Ok between a +4 flail and a +0 morningstar it's closer. And yes I'm sure the acid dragon armour was better than your starting armour; but if you're going to go with it long-term then I'd train some more Dodging. And I'd certainly keep the kite shield if you're wearing an amulet of reflection.

Re: CIP: DsFi of Yred

One good offense is better than 3 week ones. I would not train maces&flails, fire magic and conjurations, and earth magic on the same character until I have one strong offensive option. (I would also focus on defenses for a long time before considering training spells.)

Your shield not only gave you spellcasting penalties, making your magic skills useless. It also prevented you to use a two handed weapon. I would have dropped it when I find a dire flail or great mace. Good one handed weapons (demon whips and evening stars for maces) are very rare, you can not count on them. My first plan is to go two handed unless I find a good one handed weapon early.

Your armor give very little AC. It is hard to imagine you did not find an enchanted plate mail or at least a chain mail.

Evaluating weapons and armor is not easy without spoilers. Base damage worths more than enchantment, as base damage get multiplied based on your skills and strength, while the enchantment does not. A +0 dire flail is better than a +4 flail.

When you are not super spoiled with min/maxing details, it is much easier to either go heavy armours and wear the armour that gives you the most AC, or train a lot of dodging in a lighter armour (either because your race is pushed towards it or you want spells early on).
