I finally reached ****** lugonu piety, and was wondering if i should corrupt my spear or wait for a demon trident.

Base damage is really important. Spears are awful because they have piss poor base damage. A demon trident is really preferred.

Tuesday, 1st May 2012, 19:55 by rchandra

I know that AKs can unwield distortion more safely than others, but I'd still prefer to have a bladed weapon to butcher - glaive or bardiche. A demon trident may take forever to get, but a regular trident would also be ok - the weapon you have now, or soon, is better than the one you get in the Vestibule or V:8 or someesuch.

He has animate skeleton for butchering.

Demon tridents can take a whole lot of time to show up, and corrupting the one that eventually shows up won't help if you die before then. You want your cool stuff up front whenever possible, because there's no guarantee you'll get a second chance.

That said, your starting spear? Really? There isn't a single better polearm sitting on the floor somewhere, with all the gnolls and orcs you've already killed? A vanilla +0 glaive is going to do a whole lot more damage, even in spite of the +4/+3. Ctrl + F for 'bardiche' and then 'glaive', to see if either pops up. Orcs and gnolls have them sometimes, whereas they generally don't have demon tridents. Then try 'trident' and 'halberd' so you can at least upgrade to something that isn't your starting weapon. Try killing everything in Orc to see if anything comes good comes up; if you find something too dangerous to risk handling you can just corrupt the level and watch all the orcs die to the neutral monsters you brought in as part of the process. Works great on the Orc 4 end vault.

I wouldn't wait longer than the end of Orc and Lair to corrupt your weapon. There's no highly probable good weapon sources for a long time after that point, and waiting is painful.

In other news, ring mail is terrible and you should never use it. Generally, you should pick either light armor for spells or heavy armor for guaranteed damage reduction. Ring mail provides the worst of both worlds, making spells hard to cast while not actually providing much in the way of protection.

I would go through lair at the very least. If you luck out and get a spider nest or an ice cave they have a pretty decent chance to have a demon weapon. I remember one of my dudes got a demon whip of freezing from an ice cave in lair. It was pretty sweet. Of course the second you do brand a weapon you will find a better one the next dungeon level you go in.

Tuesday, 1st May 2012, 23:20 by KoboldLord

Spiders' Nest is a branch in the OP's version, not a portal vault. I think he's currently standing in front of an Ice Cavern, though. Honestly it would probably be pretty dangerous for a character who only has a vanilla spear, but there's no harm going in to see how bad it is. If it's a hard one, he can always corrupt the level and much of the opposition is likely to be wiped out, plus there should be new bypasses corrupted around most ice statue placements.

Of course, the loot isn't actually all that likely to cough up a demon trident.

Your character probably wanted higher polearm skill and a better weapon.

also lair 8 could have waited - come back after you gain a level or two.

flexible gameplay is probably what i lack the most. sad D:
i just have to keep playing

I haven't played a Lugono worshipper before, but for centaur i really like Okawaru.

he gifts bardings, javelins (assuming throwing), and weapons. also heroism can make up for poor weapon apts early on.

also a pep note - it took me about 150 deaths before i beat dungeon crawl so keep at it.

i think ive played more than a thousand until i finally got my MiGl to gtfo with the orb

im still not so sure how i won that game

and for lugonu, its a ton of fun. earliy blinks on a melee character saves, and banishment on tough enemies are nice also.
i havent really found corruption useful yet, prob because i havent been in a branch ending with a lugonu worshipper.
that being said, how are corruptions used?
