CIP: GrEE^Ash: Buy randart CPA and keep casting?

[Cantwell]

So there's a randart (antique, unidentified) Crystal Plate Armour in a shop.

Right now I've just got a Robe of Archmagi. 33 AC including Stoneskin feels like enough, but can you ever REALLY have enough AC?

If I bought it and wore it, would I still be able to cast LRD?

[duvessa]

It's randart body armour. It's almost certainly complete garbage. Even if it isn't, casting in CPA with 17 str is unlikely to work well, and it will destroy your EV (though it appears you didn't really train dodging in the first place). You could still cast LRD and stoneskin because you put more than 5 times the xp in earth magic that you actually needed to, but none of your other spells will work without more spell skills.

[WingedEspeon]

I generally won't wear CPA because it kills your EV. 17 Str is not enough for CPA and you probably want to keep that ring, so 15 Str CPA is even more of a no-no. Also, you generally shouldn't put points into strength if you are casting in a robe.

[byrel]

Gargoyle's get level up points in strength.

[WingedEspeon]

according to badwiki, gargolyes have a base strength of 11, and gain one point in Str of int every 4 levels. EE adds 0 point to starting strength. at level 18 if all four points rolling into strength you would end up at 15 strength. He has 17 and is wearing -2 Str gear. Of course, badwiki has been known to be wrong even on the non strategy portions.

[Cantwell]

Thanks, all.

I skipped the armour in question. Would have taken more than all the gold I had at the time (that changed when I found a neat, new-to-me Gozag altar vault on U:5 with three shops and about 3,000 gold on the ground).

I maybe should have said at the beginning that my goal with the character was to play around with Staff of Earth as a melee weapon.

The context was here, viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18024&p=247167:

Yeah, it's certainly reasonable for a more magic focused gargoyle. Start as an EE, learn your earth magic, boost its spell power. Assuming you train some evocations, then all you need is staff 14 and you're set. You've probably already learned some basic shield skill since most mages use a shield, and your build is now well rounded. It's just more of a challenge build if you focus on the staff of earth as a melee weapon first and foremost.

That's what I did, pretty much just what Tas said. It's fun. I don't know if I feel as powerful as a some of the GrFi or GrGl I've had in the past, but I can definitely whack a golden dragon and have it quit moving in four or five turns. Then, to also be able to drop an ancient lich with two crystal spears and deconstruct a crystal guardian like a piñata... it feels good. It's fun.

As an update, I got the Snake, Shoals, and Vaults runes, then did Elf:3 and Zot:5. That went well, so I started into my first zig. Went to bed last night around Zig:16 or so. Shatter is castable, I've got a CBoE, and I might just finish it. Then again, I might bail. I understand you don't typically do a ziggurat BEFORE any of the rest of the extended game. Ah well. Wish me luck.

[Cantwell]

I finished my ziggurat. Just got the demonic rune from the Holy Pan floor, now I'm hunting the rest.

With adequate offensive power and QUITE adequate defenses, now it's just a matter of not getting complacent, I think. Fun game.

[Cantwell]

Wait a second. Switching to that plate wrecks my spell success for Shatter.

Back to Quicksilver DA, I guess.

[Sojiro]

You forgot your code tags.

[duvessa]

Staff of earth is the worst elemental staff for melee (the bonus damage checks AC, the bonus damage from staves of fire/air/cold/death doesn't), just fyi.

[jason0320]

Sadly there is only one crystal plate armour - the Orange Crystal Plate Armour that actually imporves spellcasting, other CPAs provide nothing but hindrance and AC.
If you want to cast your current robe of Archmagi will do the work.

[Pollen_Golem]

Sadly there is only one crystal plate armour - the Orange Crystal Plate Armour that actually imporves spellcasting, other CPAs provide nothing but hindrance and AC.

Now, now, I think it's unlikely but conceivable for randart CPA to give you a ton of strength and intelligence to help you cast in it.

[tasonir]

"provide nothing but hindrance and AC" may be one of the most underwhelming CPA reviews I've ever seen. CPAs are great armor and you should use them Now if you're trying to keep shatter online then that's a perfectly fine reason to not use CPA, and you seem to have plenty of good dragon armors to choose from, but in any case...

Glad to see you're having fun with the staff of earth, it's always amusing to bend the rules of crawl imho

[Cantwell]

Well, that was fun. I got a Hell rune, I got a Pan rune, I got the Abyssal rune, did a whole ziggurat... Staff of Earth is viable, but not overwhelming. Think I'll go back to trying to win my first Octopode.


94k turns and 10 hours... I gather that's fairly slow on both counts?
