Am I doing it right?

Feel like I'm on a good one here. Am I doing it right? any suggestions?

I think I mistakenly levelled Int at one point, and my Dex looks a little low. Is there any way to tell what I've been levelling when levelling up? As I think I've been doing it wrong!

What do I do with the deck of cards? is this something to do with nemelex?

Which axe is better, the executioner or the broad axe? I work it out that the broad axe is better, even with both at min delay (For which Id have to train for the executioners)...workings:

For min delay with broad axe I need 16 skill, which gives me 0.25 damage when dividing damage by delay (13+7)/(160/2) = 0.25
For min delay with exec axe I need 20 skill, which gives me 0.24 damage when dividing damage by delay (18+6)/(200/2)= 0.24

The accuracy rating on the broad axe is also better, so I presume that makes it a more effective weapon? (quicker and more accurate attacks?)

Is it worth keeping hold of the RElec scimi or shall i Just dump it?

I had a shield for a while, but I dropped it as I thought it was probably slowing my attacks down far too much. Can anyone confirm or deny? I stashed it, but as you can see theres also a buckler right there...

Anything else I should try and get hold of? I'm focusing armor training now. Trained bows just a little bit as they are really handy for taking out enemies from groups as they close, or kiting groups of slugs/snails (And gastronok when i find him!)

Re: Am I doing it right?

Actually min delay isn't 160/2 or 200/2, either one can get down to 70% so at max skill they are the same speed.

Broad axe requires (160-70)/10 = 9 * 2 = 18 axe skill
Executioner's axe requires (200-70)/10 = 13*2 = 26 axe skill

MiBe starts with 4 int and doesn't gain it naturally, so you must have put 2 points into it.

delarado wrote:What do I do with the deck of cards? is this something to do with nemelex?


Decks of cards can be evoked to give random effects based on the type of deck, scaling with evocations skill. Nemelex gives several card-based abilities and gifts several types of decks that are much easier to predict and utilize than decks found around the dungeon.

For min delay with broad axe I need 16 skill, which gives me 0.25 damage when dividing damage by delay (13+7)/(160/2) = 0.25

The accuracy rating on the broad axe is also better, so I presume that makes it a more effective weapon? (quicker and more accurate attacks?)


I don't know where you're getting your math, but an exe axe has the same min delay as a broad axe and does nearly 50% more base damage (which is multiplied by weapon skill), so it's a dramatically better weapon at high skill levels (although min delay on it is only reached at 26 axe skill, broad axe at 18)

you may as well but you can also drop it and return if you need to kill nikola/eels or whatever

shields slow speed somewhat unless you have enough skill (which is 5 for a buckler.) I wouldn't bother raising shield skill because you want to get a battleaxe/exe axe on this character

You should be training axes right now, then some fighting

Re: Am I doing it right?

Thanks, I missed the part where someone said about the 70% limit in one of my other threads, only remembered the bit about half their current delay, so I thought the executioner axe had a higher min delay than the broad.

So, Broad Axe (13+7)/70 = 0.285 damage at min delay
Executioner (18+6)/70 = 0.342 damage at min delay
Executioner (18+6)/95 = 0.282 damage at 95% delay

(200-95)/10 = 10.5 * 2 = 21 axe skill required to match Broad Axe performance.

So basically switch back to training axes, use broad axe until 21 and then switch to executioner axe, keep training till 26 then switch to armour again...I think :)

Re: Am I doing it right?

Damage is more than base damage + slaying bonuses. It's affected also by skills and stats, the former of which (at least) multiplies base damage but not slaying bonuses. This means that weapons with high base damage will do more damage than weapons with lower base damage but higher slaying bonuses.

In this case, I would probably switch to the exe axe at 20 skill because that will get you 1.0 aut attacks, which means you won't get double attacked

Re: Am I doing it right?

Its actually fine that you put a couple points into int, as there are monsters out there that specifically drain your brains and this can kill you. Think of it as shoring up your weakest point of defense.

Re: Am I doing it right?

In 0.13 stat death has been removed, so int drain is even less dangerous than before. Just carry always one restore pot and be aware that with 0 or less int suffer some penalties and don't waste any more stat point on int, especially if you go for a 3 rune game - when stat drain is exceptionally uncommon.

Re: Am I doing it right?

Going well so far... what now, Lair:8 (Last time I died) or orcish mines?

I presume those are my two options? If so, what do I need for orcish mines, I have lots of stuff in stash. I presume a ring of protection from negative energy would be good, cant think what else I'd need unless I get sent to the abyss by an annoying orc? (Does amulet of stasis stop this?)

Re: Am I doing it right?

No, stasis does not prevent banishment. MR helps to resist the spell.

There is no defense vs banishment caused by distortion weapon.

I would try Lair 8 but be ready to go into Orcs if it's too hard.

I think you can train Dodging instead of Armour, EV 7 is too little. Broad Axe needs 18 Axes, no need to train the skill above this point yet.

Thanks, I have a god gift executioner I'm training for. I'll train some evasion and head down to Lair:8. I only died last time because I got too cocky with a dire elephant...

I have some kind of magic resistance doo-dah, so I'll make sure to don it when in the Orcish mines (It is orcs that can send you to abyss isnt it?

There aren't any orcs who can banish you to the abyss with the spell (Anything that uses weapons could rarely be generated with a distortion weapon) Ogre mages can sometimes be found in the orc mines and can banish you.

Re: Am I doing it right?

So, Orcish mines done...That was a surprise!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy up till the bit with the shops, then ZOMG demons & Sorcerers smiting me everywhere. Any way to stop me getting smited? I had to quaff curing, healing, read teleport twice, and use BIA 3 times just to stay afloat. I'm worried I burned quite a lot of consumables!

What now then? Snake pit (Shoals and Slime seem too difficult for me at the moment) Or further down in the dungeon?

Re: Am I doing it right?

I would explore dungeon. I don't enter Slime before clearing ZoT4. You don't have rPois for Snake and Evocation for Swamp (ring of flight helps there).
Read unknown scroll, you may want to use ID scroll on your ring (it will be hunger most likely). Don't keep recharge scrolls in inventory especially when you don't have conservation.

Re: Am I doing it right?

I have loads of Rpois in my stash (two rings and a chain mail) I also have a ring of flight, although my evocations aren't great. Did you mean shoals when you said swamp?

I didn't want to use ID that unknown scroll as I thought it might be something useful, seeing as I've already Id'd all the detrimental ones, and I've only found two (Better is rarer no?) however whenever I find a scroll of ID i always seem to have jewellery / potions to ID! (Still have loads of un-id'd potions in stash)

I'll drop the recharge scroll.. I tend to carry one around (Dropped 5 i think in stash) just in case I need to paralyse something and run out of charges or whatever. A lot of the scrolls I carry I have multiples of in stash.

Thanks for the input. Is trog ever going to give me anything except anti magic weapons? :)

Thats a good point actually... trog gave me this. It seems hopelessly terrible, apart from the RC+ (Which I already have four rings for)

  Code:
the -6,-3 broad axe of Change {freeze, rC+ Int-1}


Am I missing something?

Re: Am I doing it right?

Shoals is more dangerous than Swamp IMHO, you need higher defense because there are many monsters with ranged attacks.
Always have rPois ring in inventory if it's the only source of rPois, you don't want to die to killer bees or Aizul.
Trog can grant artefact weapon also, for example in my current game I got +5,+12 sabre "Uneiceh" {venom, Noisy rN+ MR++ Dex+3}. Don't abandon him, he is great :)

Re: Am I doing it right?

Good point about the bees - I left rpois for the Irish mines as I didn't think there was anything there to poison me. I'll carry it around again. I have so much jewellery I just don't know what to carry (I think 3x rc+ 2x ring of ice 2 x ring of fire 3x rf+ 1 rcorr and rf+ amulet, amulet of stasis, clarity, faith, ring of flight, 2x rn+ 1mr+ and various others)

So that gifted weapon... -6 -3, surely not worth even bothering with no?!?

Broad axes are bad and this is worse than a +0 broad axe you could find anywhere on the ground. God gifts are not guaranteed to be good, and indeed are often hilariously terrible.

Yes, you have Shoals and it's impossible to have both Shoals and Swamp. Sorry about confusion caused.
I meant I could do Swamp with some Evocations for flight, but I would not do Shoals because merfolks could kill me.

You have only 2 hands so there is no sense to have 3 rF+ rings. Also there is no sense to use ring of fire if you have ring of rF+ and don't cast fire spells.
