Newbie MiBe - going well!

Continuing this on from my other thread... viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8750&p=119299#p119299

I have gone down to D:16 now... Have just killed Azrael, man he was pretty tough! He was sitting inside a little vault type thing in the middle of a lava pool. I thought it might be a treasure vault, so I evoked my ring of flight, only to be blasted in the face with a fireball upon opening the door! Had to go back upstairs, fetch my ring of rF+, recharge my wand of cold and come back. Having great fun though. Think I'll go into snake next... Will get my axes to 26 then focus on my dodging / fighting / armour. As always, any tips welcome! I have LOADS of stuff in stash, including a lot of Un-Id'd potions. I feel like I have everything I need now though, the last thing I was lacking was see invis (I think there were 4-5 unseen horrors or similar on D:14 and I didn't have any invis detection, amazing how they are so dangerous early game and a minor annoyance at this point!)

I figure next thing is to grab my ring of rPois (is it worth wearing two?) and heading into snake pits for my first ever rune!

Armor wise I have:

a +2 chain mail of fire resistance
a +1 plate armour of cold resistance
the +8 chain mail "Seses" {Str+1 Dex+4 Dam+2}

I take it I want to stick with my current, worn, +3 plate until I find some dragon armor or similar?? (And not the +8 Seses) I've just found a steam dragon hide (That I didnt notice back on D:8) and brought it to my stash, but looked it up and it seems its mostly useless to make armour out of it for me. What should I look out for, is it a gold dragon? And if so, where am I likely to find one?

P.s that gifted bow I have is awesome, so much more effective than my old bow of flaming.

Re: Newbie MiBe - going well!

p.s I VERY nearly died when exiting the orcish mines, I didnt realise the levels were split - Orc 2 and Orc 3 were split into two halves, accessible from each other. I thought Id cleared the orcish mines in their entirety, I saved in Orc:4 after "completing" it before work, and when I got home hours later I just went up any old stairs. Landed myself next to some orcs. "its ok" I thought to myself... "Its just a couple of respawned monsters"

So I just charged them and hacked and slashed away...

3 BIA, 5 trogs hands, about 50 corpses and a potion of heal wounds later and I'd been sitting at about 30hp for about 200 turns!

Re: Newbie MiBe - going well!

The +8 chain mail is actually probably better than +3 plate. With your armour skill I expect that ac will come out basically the same. However the chain mail will have considerably better AEVP, and if you start training Dodging between the extra dex and chain vs. plate it will make a noticeable difference in your EV. You might eventually switch back to plate once you find an ego you really like or a lot of enchant scrolls, but I would wear that chain for now.

Re: Newbie MiBe - going well!

I agree, that chainmail is pretty good, especially for a berserker. A few good +'s. Not endgame matierial but should hold you over for a while.

Re: Newbie MiBe - going well!

Never charge. Even if you think you will win easily. Retreat instead and fight them in a cleared territory. Yes, I know it's time consuming but at least it does not involve swapping jewelry/weapons which I hate the most.

Re: Newbie MiBe - going well!

I dont normally... But when faced with the (Believed) fact that its just one or two respawned monsters (And not an entirely uncleared area!) I just thought I could run in and kill a couple of popcorn orcs no problems. Then I looked up at the map and realised I hadnt cleared the area! Doh!!

Re: Newbie MiBe - going well!

I see. It's useful to count downstairs and upstairs in Orc. If you don't see 3 of each, then there should be more regions and the missing stairs tells you how to access it. For example, if you see 3 downstairs and only 2 upstairs, then you can go to upper level and try every downstairs to find another region.

Re: Newbie MiBe - going well!

Thats a good point, thanks for that! I must admit, I didn't know orc mines split off like that. When I got down to orc:4 I thought Id finished it, saved, and picked the game up a few hours later. I thought "ive finished this bit, up the closest stairs i go"

Thats what led me to the unexplored territory, but I didn't realise I hadn't explored it until I had a thousand orcs charging me!

I'll probably give snake a go a bit later on, I'm also playing a local DeFe game thats going quite well too so progress may slow on this one (I might try and make it my first win and play very carefully and in small chunks to avoid stupid mistakes)

Is it possible to have multiple games in progress on webtiles?

No, unless you use several servers and have one game on every server.

you can also use different versions (e.g. 0.12 and trunk) simultaneously but who'd do that

That is the difference between a bow and a longbow. Bows are pretty crappy. Longbows are the bee's knees.

You can also create multiple users. The bots in IRC will allow you to map your nicknames together for stat tracking purposes.
