Advice for shaving turn count
Trouble is, I don't know how. It's so hard. I've been trying to get the feel for speedrunning with TrBe (regen wastes fewer turns healing, berserk helps take out high HD targets for quick levels), but the difficulty spike in lair branches kills me. I don't find rPois anywhere near reliably – more likely, I have no jewellery and most of my consumables aren't ID'd by the time I reach the first lair branch (takes a bit less than 2000 turns, varies a lot because I have to scour D8-11 and L3-6). Generally, just one enemy in a lair branch will almost kill me, and I won't have brothers in arms up because I use trog's hand so often to save turns and to stay alive.
Advice? How to speedrun?
