YAFVP!!! My first win! DDNe 4-runer
Finally:
Huzzah! I have finally won! I was toying with going for Tomb, but as I was fishing around in the abyss I picked up some unpleasant mutations and decided that was a sign to GTFO of the dungeon and put my first win in the bank.
The thing that totally made my game was a spriggan town on D:21, where I found the faerie dragon armour and demon whips of freezing and electrocution. I actually never bothered switching away from the freezing whip, but brought the elec whip along for bragging rights. These are the only two demon whips I saw all game (except on summoned balrugs) and I got them in a single fight against three spriggan fighters or whatever.
Other highlights equipment-wise were the hat of pondering from Gastronok, coupled with boots of running so I was still normal speed, and a bunch of great jewellery.
Game-wise, the highlight was clearing the slime pits, as that's where my last three promising characters died. What really helped here was having a +3 ice dragon armour and the cloak of starlight for complete cold resistance vs. azure jellies. Whenever I saw a shining eye, I put on my amulet of resist mutation, whenever I saw something that could paralyze or confuse, I put on the amulet "Chaichex" {Stasis Str+3 Dam+3} - Stasis is like perfect MR, I never had any use for it before. And whenever I saw an acid blob, I put on the amulet of resist corrosion. As long as I kept on top of swapping my jewellery Slime was pretty easy. I also made sure I had all my armour slots filled.
Ironically, I don't think I ever used blink to get out of trouble. Summons plus the wand of healing bailed me out most of the time. I must have recharged that wand of healing 10-15 times. I also never used passage of golubria, it just seems way too tedious to keep setting up portals in case you need them, and they don't work on branch-ends where cTele is disabled.
Other things I didn't really use / need:
- summon butterflies
- swiftness
- recall
- conjure flame
- sublimation of blood
With another build of course that might be different.
Other lessons:
- Dispel undead is awesome.
- so is vampiric draining, agony (while it works) and shadow creatures.

Huzzah! I have finally won! I was toying with going for Tomb, but as I was fishing around in the abyss I picked up some unpleasant mutations and decided that was a sign to GTFO of the dungeon and put my first win in the bank.
The thing that totally made my game was a spriggan town on D:21, where I found the faerie dragon armour and demon whips of freezing and electrocution. I actually never bothered switching away from the freezing whip, but brought the elec whip along for bragging rights. These are the only two demon whips I saw all game (except on summoned balrugs) and I got them in a single fight against three spriggan fighters or whatever.
Other highlights equipment-wise were the hat of pondering from Gastronok, coupled with boots of running so I was still normal speed, and a bunch of great jewellery.
Game-wise, the highlight was clearing the slime pits, as that's where my last three promising characters died. What really helped here was having a +3 ice dragon armour and the cloak of starlight for complete cold resistance vs. azure jellies. Whenever I saw a shining eye, I put on my amulet of resist mutation, whenever I saw something that could paralyze or confuse, I put on the amulet "Chaichex" {Stasis Str+3 Dam+3} - Stasis is like perfect MR, I never had any use for it before. And whenever I saw an acid blob, I put on the amulet of resist corrosion. As long as I kept on top of swapping my jewellery Slime was pretty easy. I also made sure I had all my armour slots filled.
Ironically, I don't think I ever used blink to get out of trouble. Summons plus the wand of healing bailed me out most of the time. I must have recharged that wand of healing 10-15 times. I also never used passage of golubria, it just seems way too tedious to keep setting up portals in case you need them, and they don't work on branch-ends where cTele is disabled.
Other things I didn't really use / need:
- summon butterflies
- swiftness
- recall
- conjure flame
- sublimation of blood
With another build of course that might be different.
Other lessons:
- Dispel undead is awesome.
- so is vampiric draining, agony (while it works) and shadow creatures.
