[CiP] GrAE^Veh: How far can I go? (Advice pls)

Hi all,

I've only got two melee wins under my belt (3 and 6 runes) and I've never won with a caster, or gone for 15. My current character could easily win right now so I'm thinking of taking a run at extended, but I've got no idea what a 15-rune character looks like in terms of skilling, equipment, spells, etc. so I'm hoping someone can give me some guidance. Is the character I've got now a decent candidate and if so where do I take them from here?

I've got high Armour skill, the subdued magic mut, and a Wiz ring so I'm casting comfortably in the +12 plate at the moment. I'm using Vile Clutch + Freezing Cloud + conjurations to kill everything. I know I don't need four different projectile spells but they all have a different max range so I'm still using each one at different times. What are good spells to aim for from here and what should I drop?

I went for quick blades because of the low skill investment but should I be giving any more thought to other weapons or elemental staves?

Should I be pumping Evo as well to make the best use of crystal ball/evokables? My skilling is already quite broad so I'm worried about hitting the ceilings of the necessary skills.

I've also read about about converting religions being advised for extended but don't have any experience with that.

Any advice you can give would be much appreciated!

Re: [CiP] GrAE^Veh: How far can I go? (Advice pls)

That guy looks really strong and well setup for extended. If you want to and can tolerate a death, go for it.

Poison Arrow still works on demons, but less effectively, so I'd think about amnesia for that. With OoD & Crystal Spear, Iron Shot doesn't have much of a niche, so I'd amnesia that. I think most folks here would disagree, but I'd think about adding Bolt of Fire and Bolt of Cold, Fire since it's full LOS under Vehumet and both to counter monster resistances. (Use examine x-v to check.)

I'd also consider a level 9 spell eventually. It's totally not necessary, but often convenient. Shatter should be fairly easy from 19 Earth, but many demons fly so it's not as useful. (Most/all monsters in Slime are resistant too.). Tornado and Fire Storm are best and Glaciate is ok. I don't have any experience with Dragons' Call.

If you go that route, you may need lighter armour.

I'd look for a weapon upgrade. The best one-hamded weapons only take 12–18 skill, which isn't much at this point. Holy branded is super strong.

I'd also consider a regular shield (plus 15 Shields) as a good upgrade, although the +5 Int on that buckler is strong.

As for gods, Vehumet is great in extended if you're mainly using spells to kill things. If you are really feeling bold, TSO & Zin are great, but you need to train 12-15 Invocations and remember to *use their active abilities*.

Edit: Consider Ignition too: it's fun, level 8, and single school.

Re: [CiP] GrAE^Veh: How far can I go? (Advice pls)

Many thanks for the advice!

Bolt of Cold/Fire was a good idea which I wasn't able to capitalise on before I died, I did amnesia Iron Shot and pick up Spellforged Servitor, which was amazing. Picking up a holy-branded mace of some kind was something I really wish I had done sooner, I didn't realise how inefficient the quick blades had become in terms of damage output, even when attacking at 0.3 speed. I wanted to find a decent shield but nothing better than the buckler turned up.

I lost the character in Dis with the other three Hell runes in pocket. My one huge dumb mistake was leaving my character with blurry vision; I knew it was bad but I should have quaffed my remaining !mut if there was any chance to get rid of it. I ran out of MP after trying to Passage/run away from The Serpent of Hell + minions, I won the stand-up fight by burning evocables but got chased down by a Hell Sentinel who Damnationed me 3-4 times in a row - I just couldn't break LoS thanks to my slow reading speed.

Not upset I tried it out, lots of experience and lessons learned for future games!

That seems like a great run for your first time in extended.

Pan is not too different from the Hells. Tomb is different and nasty, so be careful there next time.
