Apportation wasn't generated in this game. Assuming it's not absolutely necessary: Do I just invoke invisibility and read scrolls of teleportation until I'm chance upon the orb chamber? Then the same thing back? Should I also get other buffs (agility, resistance) or is that overkill?

Re: Ninja'ing the Orb

Invisibility does not help much because there are orb guardians around the orb usually. Orb of fire, ancient lich, killer klown, electric golem have SInv too. Yes, you quaff agility, resistance (having just rF+ is low IMHO) and read teleportation scrolls, then use fog/heal wounds/haste or just move as you like it while waiting for yet another teleport if necessary. Once I ninjad the orb without apportation but it is not recommended because those orb guardians can block your way, make sure you have at least Blink.

So, would you say that if you don't have apportation, then clearing your way through one lung is safer?

Re: Ninja'ing the Orb

I've seen a few experienced players suggest that 'ninja'ing the orb' isn't a good idea in 0.21. The new orb status makes teleports quite slow, and a lot can happen between teleports. Also your particular character isn't so strong that you can just crush your way through difficult situations, and you have no real panic buttons.

Are you really not worshipping a god? If so, whyever not? Some gods would give the necessary panic buttons, like Zin's Sanctuary. Alternatively there's stuff like Borgnjor's and Death's Door. But that would require spending a lot more time getting XP, and is really not necessary for a normal win.

Just take it slowly, clear things carefully, use your mana vipers, etc. Don't be afraid to use consumables.

Mostly, because I can. I gave up on figuring out god strategy, for the time being. It's too much of a moving target. Also, I kinda like the game play feel of godless humans. It's so ... pure.

Not too long ago I read experienced players advocating ninja'ing as significantly safer, here. If that's changed now and the general consensus is that it's not, then I'd rather not do it.

If you don't want to bother with gods, just worship Makhleb, HP on kills is always useful and you can ignore everything else if you want.

I don't know. Some characters have no choice, they cannot clear a lung.

Sure. It's not really about a convenient god strategy, though. It's more about taking gods out of the equation (for the time being). Also, the impact on my performance is probably actually low: When I die, it's mostly because I'm tired and play on autopilot until I'm suddenly looking at my inventory screen. No god can save me from that. With Makhleb, I just get used to the rhythm of how my HP is (not) depleting.

Also: "Playing atheist" is a self-imposed conduct. "Playing a god, but not using it's full potential" ... doesn't quite have the same ring to me.

Re: Ninja'ing the Orb

Gods can really carry some characters, and, as VAF suggested, some are useful even just for the passive benefits. If you are really not bothered about gods, then you could try demigod. At least you're not missing out on anything.

Now I'm tempted to get one naked, godless, weaponless, spell-less human at least to Lair.

That's not a human. There's nothing sexy about a naked mummy.

I don't know the details of crawl, but of course most real mummies are human!

I'm sorry, I wrote without thinking. Didn't mean to impose bio-normative preferences on the differently alive.

Re: Ninja'ing the Orb

Regarding the safest way to do Zot:5, I think it is almost always optimal for characters to switch to Zin before Zot:5 nowadays. You get ****** by spending your gold and pressing 5, and Sanctuary and Imprison will make swagjacking Zot:5 easy, and then save you from randomly dying to a Pan lord on orbrun.
Shadow form teleportation and Heaven on Earth are also very safe swagjacking methods.

As far as Zot:5 history, the monsters themselves haven't gotten significantly more dangerous since 0.6 (when rF+++ went from 90% reduction to 80% reduction). However, player melee and missile damage has increased a lot, and mobility tools like blinking and teleport have shuffled around a lot. As of Zot:5 getting the Orb status throughout, swagjacking is the least favourable it has ever been, to the point that killing the dudes is probably better on most characters that don't have Zin/Dith/WJC/Ely/etc.
