DrCj 4/15 runes in. Do I have any chance at 15?
I've cleared dungeon, lair, snake, swamp, slime, crypt, vaults
I've only ascended once before, and this is my first caster. Any advice for getting this guy as many runes as possible?
I've had little trouble with most of the run so far. I'm mostly spamming chain lightning and tornado. Only Mennas and a recent encounter with an orb of fire mauled me badly - I had to burn consumables and flee from both.
But I've had really lousy luck with gear as you can probably tell - I'm particularly hurting for resistances. I had to clear swamp and snake without poison resistance. I've started to clear Zot but got absolutely smashed by the orb of fire and I don't have a lot of options open to me as far as resist stuff. What's my next step? Wander the abyss hoping to find some gear and another rune? Pandemonium?
I've got a couple of minor negative mutations (-2 dex, -2 strength, screaming) but I have 3 potions of cure mutation stashed, and a potion of beneficial mutation. Saving them for after some of the more mutation heavy stuff.
I have various other items in stash, including hat of pondering, but most of my best gear is on me.
