Diving
Ever gone dungeon diving before? The goal, in this, is not to win. The goal is to get as deep as you can as quickly as you can.
I find that SpAr works best for the purpose; you get Spriggan movement speed and some wands that let you take down a few extremely OOD (i.e. everything) monsters when you really need to.

I'd have gotten down further, too, if that stupid trap hadn't triggered.
Try it; it's fun. Post your results!
(It also gives fun messages like "Your stealth gained 7 levels and is now at level 8!"
