CIP: Ce archer of Oka-- 2 questions inside

So after the recent discussion about the strength of archers and centaurs, I decided to try one out. They are indeed quite strong, and it's only the dearth of playing time I've had recently that's kept me from getting farther than this.

My intention is to go for all 15 runes, and I have two main questions about how to proceed from here:

When should I switch to TSO? I want to bless a longbow, so I'm saving the Crypt for the piety. When is an appropriate time to switch over? I don't really feel like I need more gifts from Oka, nor his abilities. I just cleared V:8 without much trouble. Should I make the switch now? Should I get to 27 first by starting Zot?

Second, which armor should I go with? As you can see, I'm wearing +2 faerie dragon that I took off the Enchantress. I'm not strong enough for GDA but I do have a storm hide and 11 enchant armour scrolls. I also have an artefact plate that's +8 +Blink +Lev rPois Stealth++.

On the topic of armor, I've been wearing my current barding all the time because of the great resists and the slaying bonus, but I also have a +4 barding with rF+. My estimation was that rC++ and Dam+6 were worth more than 4AC. Should I reevaluate that decision?

Do you plan on killing the royal jelly?

I don't plan on switching to Jiyva, if that's what you mean.

Re: CIP: Ce archer of Oka-- 2 questions inside

you are powerful enough to switch to TSO - just keep teleport or blink ready for angry berserking god wrath summons.

also your AC/EV is pretty low for endgame but i'm not sure if that's a problem for an archer.

good luck !

Re: CIP: Ce archer of Oka-- 2 questions inside

Well, all my extra armor slots are either artefacts or at max enchantment, so right now the scrolls are just sitting there. It sounds like you'd recommend going with the plate and enchanting one of the lighter hides once I encounter one. I'll keep an eye out.

And yeah, omegasean, my defenses are pretty low. It's usually not a problem since I can out range most things and run away if stuff gets close. My Dodging skill is only as high as it is because I found an early manual. Maybe I'll work on that next. Although if I'm switching to plate, I should up my Armour skill.

Re: CIP: Ce archer of Oka-- 2 questions inside

I suggest too the artefact barding, the +6 dam and the resistances are much more useful than a plain +4ac, especially in the end/extended game.
For the armour, gda would be the best - but you probably could consider it only if you find find some awesome randart with +str or a pile of 6 gain strength pots :lol: . I'd use the Storm armour (not heavily enchanted) only if missing any other source of relec and only against Lom and Antaues, the plate is fine in all other situation (you'll lose 3 AC point but they aren't *so* important). By the way, don't waste any other exp point in dodging: centaurs have already a significant malus due their larger size, with a heavy armour even 27 in dodging would mean only 4-5 more points in EV (you can check in another game in WIZ mode, I haven't, but the values should be quite exact).

For TSO's switching: I suggest to clear Slime Pits and Zot:1-4 while worshipping Oka, because in those places his powers are more useful than TSO's ones. Actually you will face a major problem in slime, as you haven't trained any melee skills. I've never tried, but believe you'll lose most of your precious arrows if you are going to use a bow against Royal Jelly - if you can kill it at all, considering that all the lesser jellies will eat and happily regen with your missiles.
Zot:1-4 is totally optional, but I find the huge experience it gives really useful, even for a 15-runes char. In your case, would be also really useful to train a melee skill :P

Ugh, no, even with 27 strength. Being able to cast Haste is a lot better than having a little bit of extra AC and resistances, especially on a character that already has all the resistances they could ever need ever.

(for the same reason, don't wear the plate unless you're willing to put a lot more experience into Charms)


You would be right, if by the time of extended-game a char wouldn't have tons of haste pots (especially a Oka's follower, as finesse should be used instead haste, every time it's enough), wand of hasting and scroll of recharging.
Sure, the spell is awesome, but the situation where it's really necessary are only a minority - from my experience the consumables are more than enough, and the use of armour shouldn't depend on the ability of casting the spell!

Re: CIP: Ce archer of Oka-- 2 questions inside

I've found 5 potions of gain strength on this run. One was undone by a negative mutation. I'm not holding my breath for 6 more. :)

I'll train up Charms a little more to keep haste reliable, but I've also got the ring of the mage to help with that. Consumable haste should last me until then. Except for repel missiles, I don't do much casting.

Re: CIP: Ce archer of Oka-- 2 questions inside

Update: Made the switch to TSO and using an amulet of faith and the Crypt, quickly got up to ****** for my blessed longbow. After that I got a stack of arrows up to +9, and my bow is up to +8/+9. I switched to the plate, which tanked my ability to cast spells over level 3, so I visited the abyss for the rune and did Zot down to 5 to train my skills a bit.

After that, I embarked on my first trip to Pan. With a blessed longbow, it's been a pushover. My first pan rune was taken from Cerebov, who was only annoying because of his backup. Once I got him alone, I was able to bring him down quickly. I found a demonic rune shortly after that, and just now took Mnoleg's rune. My biggest problem now is juggling my inventory, as I keep finding cool stuff on the floor. :) That includes two manuals, shields and hexes. I burned through both, and intend to max Fighting next, then Armour.

One slip up left me exposed to a neqoxec for a few turns without my rMut amulet. That stuck me with blurry vision (boo!) and made me even more herbivorous. Question: if I switch to Zin later and use his cure mutation ability, does that rid me of stat bonuses from potions of gain foo?

Currently I'm getting my ass kicked by Gloorx Vloq.

Re: CIP: Ce archer of Oka-- 2 questions inside

I think the TRJ question was about jellies munching arrows. You can just use those stacks of fire/ice branded arrows that Oka probably covered the dungeon with. What mulches doesn't get eaten. That worked fine for the last archer I took to the pits.
