YAFVP! Was CIP - SpEn of Ash - Equipment advice needed
I've got my most successful character by far going on - a SpEn of Ash with (gasp!) One Rune!
I've more-or-less cleared Lair, and picked up the rune from Shoals (mostly by running away from Ilsuiw). Started on Spider, but decided the level with Arachne and Norris needed a bit more experience to tackle. I'm currently ploughing through Orc, and have just got the opportunity to buy some sweet loot on Orc:4. The only thing is, I can't work out what's best. Here's my shopping list:
- Code:
6 things, total cost 3819 gp [a-z: travel ?/!: change action]
a - [Orc:4] a +1 cloak of poison resistance (126 gp)
b - [Orc:4] a +2 cloak of preservation (248 gp)
c - [Shoals:2] the ring of Diprimoo {Str+2 Dex+3 Acc+4} (603 gp)
d - [Orc:4] the +5,+7 dagger of Chilly Death {freeze, rPois rF- rC++ MR} (830 gp)
e - [Orc:4] the +4 robe of Night {+Inv MR SInv Stlth++} (873 gp)
f - [Shoals:2] the amulet "Boulyup" {Spirit rElec rF+ rN+} (1139 gp)
I also have available an uncursed ring of life protection (+4) in a Lair:1 stash. My cash gives me the ability to buy any one of the three costly items on my list, but not two (although I'm not that far off Chilly Death and Night). I'm worried by the rF- of the dagger, but the +5,+7 and rPois looks sweet. On the other hand, I could plump for the robe of Night and the cloak rPois; but that loses me some stat increases and an rF as well... And as for whether I should swap my amulet of faith for those resists??
Given my char-dump below, what would you buy and equip?
