So far I cleared Dungeon, Lair and Orc Mines and I need advice on what to do next. My questions are:
    >With current gear what should I do first: Shoals or Snake Pits?
    >Is it worth building up Troll leather armor at this point or should I save scrolls for dragon scales?
    >What boots should I use - Flying or Running? I have heard that Running is best ego on boots, but it only changes my movement cost from 1.0 to 0.9
    >I have possibility to buy +5 Flail of the Wolf(elec, rElec, rF+, rN+, Dex-5) for around 700$ - Should I buys it as a source of rElec, or would it be more reasonable to wait for something else?

I can also buy transparent acid dragon scales for 1300, but having ring of rCorr makes me wonder if this would be good purchase.

Re: MiFi - Need advice

1) Most people consider Snake easier than Shoals. I tend to agree, just take it slowly and remember you can run from nagas. Do that a lot and you'll probably be fine.

2) You're wearing +8 plate armor with MR+ and invocable invis. Why would you want troll leather? It's much worse. That said, you should enchant your gloves and boots - every bit of AC counts.

3) Running is the best ego on boots. If your movespeed is 1.0, and you move away from an enemy, they'll (mostly) keep up with you. If your movespeed is 0.9, it takes 10 moves on average before you create space between you and them. Creating one space of room is enough to escape up a stair and reset the fight. That's why they're the best ego (at least on normal speed characters.)

4) Ehhhhh, that's a tossup. It's a worse weapon than the flail of speed you have. Electricity is one of the deadliest things in Snake though, between Nikola maybe popping up and shock serpents. I'd probably go for it - spending gold for a nearly-guaranteed upside is probably worth it.

5) Why would you want acid dragon scales? You've never learned a spell, so encumbrance doesn't matter (and you have 34 strength even if it did.) Plate armor is better armor. (And rCorr isn't really important outside of the Slime Pits, which probably will be the third-hardest rune 3 for you. Abyss will be relatively simple with boots of running and 15 tp scrolls, and Vaults tends to be my default for rune 3.)

Re: MiFi - Need advice

The gist of his armor advice is this: every type of armor has a “base armor value.” The higher this is, the more AC it gives you for your Armor skill (and yours is very high). This is good on a melee brute like yourself.

Every type of armor also has an “encumbrance rating.” The lower this is, the easier it is to evade attacks (EV) and cast spells. But on a melee sword-and-boarder, you want to absorb damage (with AC) not evade attacks (EV).

That’s the simple version, why Troll Leather and Acid Scales are not as good as your plate.

One additional piece of advice- start pumping Evocations skill. It will let you use that berserk amulet, and eventually the invisibility on your chain mail.
