Doors Vault

[arandomperson12]

In general, should this be opened? It contains many monsters, which you can kill to get lots of exp. However, the monsters might also kill you. Reading a scroll of teleportation right before opening it, and then letting the monsters disperse might be a good idea?

I've always been opening those, since most of the times there isn't much of threat in there and it is basically more exp. If there is - just use fear\tele\blink.

In depths, it can contain titans/juggernauts/gold dragons, and one I opened in zot had, among other things, 3 orbs of fire.

I'll be the first to admit I'm bad at Crawl, but in general, I think trading tactical consumables for XP is not a good trade. There's plenty of XP and loot you can get with no risk of dying; there's basically no time in Crawl when making a risky choice is a good play.

So I'd say no, don't open it.

Me? I would probably open it. But I get killed opening vaults I know I shouldn't open.

[Siegurt]

There is nothing in the vault worth burning a consumable, or possibly risking a death for, the only point in opening it is for novelty.

Don't ever open it if your goal is winning.
