CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me golds?

Finally got another decent start going, found an oka altar just checking one of the stairs on D:1. Yeah started my oka worship before even clearing D:1, then what do I find on D:9 but a my first amulet this game... a faith amulet with +4 strength boost aswell. So Oka has been gifting me like crazy and letting me spam hero + finesse on everything :)

Theres two items sorta worth mentioning the shops I've visited and I do have gold enough for both, though the ring isn't that great when I got everything it gives already.

1 Scroll of acquirement... If I did buy it what would be the best to use it on. I was thinking armour and hope for some decent plate mail or better.
2 a ring with { +rage rPois rF+ }

and yeah sue me I went with a shield this game, Oka kept gifting me one handers all the time. Though the scimitar has been the only one really worth wearing. He's given me planty things like -4/-3 double sword with slice, or a -3 demon blade with drainig. Then I found a +3 buckler with rF+... go figure he gifted me the normal sized shield with the same exact stats.

I won't be going for a large shield unless I get a insanely powerful one... so is there any reason to go above 10 in shield skills?

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

I would not spend acquirement on armour for Oka worshiper so early. Oka can gift you a greater armour 5 minutes later or you can get +0 hat from the scroll.
Persoanlly I try to always have at least 1k gold for bazaar especailly since it is possible to get several bazaars in 0.12

I think you can read-ID some scrolls or use ID scroll on them.

I've id'd almost everything except a curse scroll, acquirement the raise one and torment.. but yeah I plan on just reading them and crossing my fingers.

Pretty sure I have ~1.1K gold at the moment. Should I try jewelry instead?

Jewelry is biased towards giving you unrecognized items so try to identify hunger ring/inaccuracy amulet before.

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

15 shields to nullify penalties for the medium shield.

I'd actually acquire weapon here - Okawaru isn't that reliable about those (he's not reliable about armour either, but I think you have more to gain from the weapon). Wand is probably also fine. Or even armour.

Those double swords/demon blades were artefacts, right? it might actually be worth using enchant scrolls to rescue the -3 draining demon blade if not.

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

if i feel good about my current armor and weapon i sometimes like acquiring for staves: if you are not training spellcasting and elemental magic it very often gives you cool rods. rods are cool.

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

Acquirement is always a crapshoot, but I like wand acquirement. Your chance of getting healing or haste is pretty good if you don't have them identified already. The chance of getting heal wounds with all others identified is 30%. (Same for hasting.)

If you do go this way, ID that other wand you have and then acquire for a better chance at getting something good.

You don't have "bad" gear so I would take wand (if there is only useful unidentified) or gold.

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

Go figure I read the un-id scrolls I had and I had 2 scrolls of acquirement O.o ... I went jewelry on both and got lucky with a +2/+5 slayer ring XD .... yeah believe it or not thats the best slayer ring I've ever got that actually lasted past ~D:4... I still haven't gone back for that scroll at the shops though. I ran into Nergalle and he summon crap tons of dragons, ogres, two headed ogres, mottled dragons and lions oh my... lets say it scared the crap out of me and I haven't been back to that floor.

Unfortunately the same damn thing happened to me in the vaults which has scared me from progressing into it. How the hell should I deal with the summoners that go invisible and swarm my screen with deadly mutherfuckas????

A pitcher of pbr, 2x dead Nazis, gladiators and Irish car bombs not feeling ok to risk the game right now ;) This is were I stood after clearing the orcish mines (only found one blue wizard there? luckiest orcish mines ever?) and attempting the vaults before getting swarmed by nasties galore.

P.S. I thought medium shields was 10 to overcome their penalties.... i thought it was 5/10/15? is it actually 5/15/25?

And all the gifted swords.. pretty damn sure not a single one other than the two scimitars I've been gifted were branded so I couldn't enchant them if I wanted to :(

also you guys are awesome... best responses I've ever had for any game forum :)

Did you get to see what it was? (from the messages displayed?)
If it's a boggart, sInv + wand of disintegration will help

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

Invisible summoner in the Vaults is almost certainly a Boggart. A wand of Polymorph is about as effetive as one of Disintegration if you want to take one out. Clouds are also very effective (especially if you don't have SInv) but you'd need a rod for that.

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

for the record, if you have a crap ton of jewlery ID'd, then acquirement has a pretty good chance of dropping you a randart ring which can often be nice (or meh). otherwise jewelry has a good chance of dropping you something you dont have IDd yet which may or may not be useful.

gold is also an option, but you can be unlucky and get like 100 or so.

i would never buy an acquirement scroll, especially with okwaru. you will usually get more than a few in a long enough game and in that time okwaru will rain shit down on you. some of that shit will eventually be pretty good, too.

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

Alright, my next character is going to carry around a longbow just to give to Mennas :lol:

EDIT: Tested this in wizmode and he seems to consistently prefer the longbow... even without arrows!

no for some reason I used my instincts and cast heroism at the first sign of threat, I knew from looking him up on the bots that I was whole heartedly going to avoid him... I should've read the tele scroll immediately cause the turn after I spotted him he cast confuse on me and I was left for dead after that. He just ran up to as I moved around like a retard un able to do anything but take a beating.

Well it went a little bit like this;

-Noticed mennas... looked him up on knowledge bot
-Cast heroism.... uhh fuck I'm confused
-Drink curing potion.... uhh fuck he's already on top of me with silence cast
-Tough it out... uhhh fuck he confused me again
-Drink... nvm I'm dead already

I always somehow starve to death when going Beserker but maybe I'll give a MiBe one more try before going Oka fighter again

Mennas is one of these uniques where the first instinct should be to run the hell away. Blink, haste, tp, etc. I tanked him once, but that was with a megatank.

The berserk gift of Trog shouldn't be used past the start of Lair, and only with advisement before then. Brothers in Arms is the useful Trog gift once you have enough piety.

Well at least your first step was correct :D
I usually won't even think about fighting him if I'm a melee character unless I'm pretty high XL with my end-game weapon all setup already.

I usually use berserk until Zot:4 when play a Be, and some better player use it even in extended (hells, pan).
Berserk is actually a very powerful ability during all the game (haste+might+50hp bonus!), it's only necessary to learn how is effectively good to use it, as the more you proceed in the game the more other power you got.

@freetheworld: if you starve as MiBe you probably play something wrong, probably you berserk too much against foes don't require it - or you train skill in wrong order, so you're are actually weaker than you should.

I probably just way too used to Oka and spamming heroism whenever I feel like it ;) It just always seems like my berserkers are always hunger and there isn't enough meat to cut up so I'm always eating my rations to get out of near starving. I'll give it another try and play more like a summoner? Would you basically stick to trogs hand and bros?

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

You can't compare heroism and berserk: the former it's the cheapest God's ability in the game and has no drawbacks, the latter is much stronger but has major drawbacks - essentially slowness and chance of passing out, but also hunger cost.

Anyway, as Be you shouldn't have so *huge* food problem: usually after you have zerked you find lot of raw meat on the floor. Try to prefer low nutrition permafood (fruits and so on) before eating ration when you're very hungry or more, because you can always find a living steak right behind the next angle.

Please don't consider Be only summoner in mid-late game, there are many situation where zerking is a cheapest and better solution: e.g. a single stone giant, a pack of deep troll you couldn't kill in a single instance and so on. And generally speaking, Trog's Hand and BIA aren't substitute of Berserking, they provide different power which are usually useful in situation where zerking ins't a viable/good choice.

The best explanation. which is true as much on D:1 as Zot:4, I can give is: "if a enemy (or a pack of enemies) can deal me significant damage (aka more than like 30% max hp) if I don't zerk while if I zerk I can kill him and I'm pretty sure I won't need to run away and the zerk state will last longer to kill everything (who is a treat) and no other nasty enemies will search me while I'm slowed, I press a two times".
Anyway, you should experience on your own, it's the best way to learn.

Finally here's some numbers about Trog's powers uses of two of my victorious Be -3 runes both. Keep in mind I'm quite conservative with BIA, some more uses wouldn't be a bad thing:

  Code:
Invok: Berserk           |     1 |     1 |    14 |    17 |    15 |     7 |    11 |     5 |    15 ||    86
       Trog's Hand       |       |     1 |     4 |     4 |       |    10 |    14 |    12 |    22 ||    67
       Burn Spellbooks   |       |       |     1 |     2 |     1 |       |     2 |     2 |    18 ||    26
       Brothers in Arms  |       |       |       |     2 |     4 |     3 |     2 |     6 |    13 ||    30



  Code:
Invok: Berserk           |     3 |     2 |     7 |     7 |    17 |    32 |    15 |    12 |     1 ||    96

       Brothers in Arms  |       |       |       |       |     2 |     1 |    10 |     5 |       ||    18

Re: CiP - I scroll of accquiremnt worth buying or save me go

^^ That got me curious so I checked out what I'd done on my two Be's that won in 0.12...the DD is kind of a special case since by the end he really gave no fucks about anything but regen, but the HO appeared to be berserking all game long...

  Code:
DD:
Invok: Trog's Hand       |     2 |     3 |    21 |    24 |    46 |    50 |    83 |    67 |    50 ||   346
       Berserk           |       |     4 |    13 |    12 |    16 |    14 |    10 |     5 |       ||    74
       Burn Spellbooks   |       |       |     2 |     1 |     4 |     3 |     6 |     5 |     1 ||    22
       Brothers in Arms  |       |       |       |       |     4 |     3 |     4 |     3 |       ||    14

HO:
Invok: Trog's Hand       |     1 |     1 |     6 |       |    10 |     6 |    20 |    41 |    30 ||   115
       Berserk           |       |     3 |    10 |    13 |    16 |     6 |     7 |    24 |    19 ||    98
       Burn Spellbooks   |       |     1 |     1 |     3 |     5 |     2 |     2 |     8 |     8 ||    30
       Brothers in Arms  |       |       |       |       |     4 |     3 |    12 |    13 |    13 ||    45


Tend to agree with Nago that BiA is not a replacement for Berserk, they both have their uses.
