Tips:
1) Don't go to monsters, let them come to you and lure them to well-explored places, near safety, where the sound won't carry, and then pick them off one at a time.
2) Read-Id all your scrolls after D1 and D2 cleared. Use your ID scrolls to ID potions - start with multiple stacks - you don't want to quaff flight when you need curing.
3) Go for an easy combo - MiGl, TrMo, DEFE, SpEn are good.
4) Gnoll packs, adders, orc packs and early uniques are the most prolific killers in the game - give them as much respect as you would a Pan / Hell boss. Avoid if at all possible, and burn consumables / lure / pillar dance / stairdance / kite if you can't. If you have to take them on, a high accuracy weapon such as a whip / short sword is good for adders, pick off gnolls one at a time, and kill the rest of the orc pack first before you take on the priest.
5) Bear in mind that statistically D3 is the most deadly level in the game - give it respect.
6) Explore near staircases first, then the edges of the map / choke points, then push into open areas last. Always keep an escape (upstairs, downstairs, choke points, hatches, tele traps, even shafts (better a possible death than certain death)) as close as you can.
7) Put nearly all of your xp into your primary weapon / starting spell school(s) until temple. (maybe branch out a tiny bit into secondary spell schools / defence if you're confident, but if it doubt, don't)
