YAVP: MuFi of Gozag: 4 runes, 5 rods, 20 slays

There was a thread recently arguing over whether mummies were the worst or nearly-worst race. I had done a MuIE of Sif a while back, and it was awful. So I wanted to see what the power of Gozag could do. Like most weak races, things got dicey just before lair, and Josephine loitering around the lair entrance wasn't helping.

The strategy was calling gadget shops and buying rods. The first gadget shop arrived in D8 with rods of clouds, iron, and inacc. There happened to be other shops present with +0 crystal plate and +27 Lear's Hauberk. Once I could get into Orc to get the gold for rod of clouds, the game was won. It is tedious to carefully aim clouds at the start of any substantive engagement, but this ended up being my fastest real-time run ever at 14:20. It usually takes me 18 (melee) - 24 (caster) hours.

I was surprised that a +9 double sword with +20 slaying was typically doing just !! damage on late-game enemies. However, I rarely missed. Note that I could slot +20 slaying safely thanks to the Mummy intrinsic resistances. Poison immunity was very nice, since rPois on living races seems more like a suggestion than an actual resistance. Torment immunity was also good, but Crypt and Zig were still quite dangerous because of Dispel Undead.

Gozag is so great. With experience you can get to lair pretty reliably on most weak races (don't use autoexplore). But if you're unlucky with loot (e.g., no MR+), mid-game can be a struggle, even with strong races. Gozag gives you the gear you need to cruise through mid- and late-game with piles of gold and Call Shop.

I wanted Repel Missiles, but with 18 encumb and 7 INT, I figured it would take too much experience with -2 aptitudes in both schools. Does anyone know about how high I would have needed to get armor and spells up? I haven't used wizmode.

I've included a cute image of what happens when you use immolation on V5 with Gozag.

Re: YAVP: MuFi of Gozag: 4 runes, 5 rods, 20 slays

That's awesome gear indeed, congrats! I liked my MuGl of Gozag too though I asked for 10 potions and only 8 shops instead of 0 potions and 13 shops as you did.

Re: YAVP: MuFi of Gozag: 4 runes, 5 rods, 20 slays

Grads!

I'm currently playing a mummy of gozag but going training only weapon/fighting/armour/dodging. Gozag shops have given me a lot of good gear. I also found petition potion a great way to deal with early game emergency's.

With that much slaying a demon blade might have been better for the faster attack speed.

Re: YAVP: MuFi of Gozag: 4 runes, 5 rods, 20 slays

@ Sandman & Winged - do you generally use potion petition prior to or during an emergency? Opening risky fights with rods at range meant I could either run or teleport by the time any threatening group got near me that wasn't well-damaged already or surrounded by summons.

@ Winged - Not a single demon blade appeared in that run! I found the double sword in the first couple rooms of V1 and immediately ran back to L2 to dump all my enchant scrolls on it.

I tried hard to make Gozag work for a Vampire with blood shops, but it was too much hassle.

Re: YAVP: MuFi of Gozag: 4 runes, 5 rods, 20 slays

I used the potion occasionally during an emergency very early game, and also when I could see I needed buffs to win vs a unique, etc. It isn't the most reliable ability, but you can usualy get a potion of heal wounds. Rods are probably better as you know exactaly what your getting and don't really have a cost once you have them.

Re: YAVP: MuFi of Gozag: 4 runes, 5 rods, 20 slays

I was inspired by this char (as well as the spate of Mu of gozag posts lately) to try a similar build, since I've been having trouble getting Mu anywhere, and it worked really, really well. I ended up with 6 rods but only 9 slaying and 3 runes; I didn't feel comfortable with vaults:5 given that I was reliant on rod recharging for big fights. Great gear overall, mostly from gozag shops. I think I was pretty lucky to (a) draw a gadget shop on the first call, and (b) draw a shop with 3 rods in stock (destruction, iron, lightning), but if you do have that luck, you're pretty much set with this plan. A friend of mine's been trying this a bit too and hasn't had as good luck with shops, so I don't know that gozag is as guaranteed rods as it might seem from the OP and my win. I was also pleasantly surprised at how strong a melee mummy is.

This was the most fun character I've played in months, rods are very satisfying the shotgun/iron rod was super fun (esp at the very end when I had two of them). So, thanks for the inspiration!

linear wrote:I wanted Repel Missiles, but with 18 encumb and 7 INT, I figured it would take too much experience with -2 aptitudes in both schools. Does anyone know about how high I would have needed to get armor and spells up? I haven't used wizmode.

Without wizmoding it myself, I'd say you're probably looking at level 10 charms/air, which is probably not the best investment for this character. Having single digit int and plate armor can make even low level spells costly. You could get a lower spell power repel with high failure for slightly less.

Re: YAVP: MuFi of Gozag: 4 runes, 5 rods, 20 slays

@ Advil - Glad it worked out for you! True, RNG involvement in shop selection and placement means you'll get helpful gear, but not necessarily for the build you wanted. This happened to me recently when a caster had to turn into an archer to survive.

@ Tasonir - Good estimate! On a recent VS with 18 encumbrance and 10 INT, it took 5 spellcasting and 8 charms & air to get repel missiles and swiftness to 8%. So on a 7 INT mummy with poorer aptitudes, the experience cost would have been a bad call until maybe the end of the game ... accepting ~40% failure so that I could only cast between fights may have made it more manageable.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
