Ogre Wanderer of Trog CIP

Hi everyone. I've gotten one win before, but now i want to go for my first whole bunch of runes win. I know I would like to eventually switch to the shining one to help with some runes, but when should I do it? My last game with a DDBe I feel like I switched to early. Also, what should my general strategy be now? should i go for the swamp? explore more of the dungeon? I got some finals to work on so I hope to get some advice and then follow up on it later today, thanks in advance everyone!

Re: Ogre Wanderer of Trog CIP

Had to start playing again out of boredom, found a scroll of enchant armor and enchanted a mottled dragon hide I had in a stack. Now I have mottled dragon armor, it rules.

Re: Ogre Wanderer of Trog CIP

Clear D to vaults, do the early levels of the vaults, then some more D (down to 20 or so), then vaults to 7. Then I would recommend doing the Lair branches, followed by D to 27 and V:8. If you like, you can do Elf after the Lair branches.
Also, raise INT - neither DEX or STR are that useful for this character, but you will definitely want to cast charms/translocations once you make your switch for extended. I would also recommend that you consider going Zin, since you don't really need a holy wrath weapon, but Sanctuary, rMut, rRot, Imprison and hell effect protection are really great in extended. He deals less raw damage, but makes for a more secure win than TSO, especially if you don't have a lot of experience with extended (Sanctuary will get you out of nearly any situation, just don't use it when the holy word might trigger mummy curses - these can still kill you!).

Re: Ogre Wanderer of Trog CIP

Is it possible to switch to TSO for crypts and tomb and then switch back to zin? aren't they friendly gods or something?

Re: Ogre Wanderer of Trog CIP

Yes, that is totally possible. However, the GSC of speed is probably all you are going to need anyway - not that rN+++ and angels won't be handy in Tomb, in any case.

Re: Ogre Wanderer of Trog CIP

You had nothing to break line of sight, nothing to create loud sounds and, most importantly, no way to teleport? What were you doing in Shoals at all?
