newbie MiBe
Hi All
I've been playing for a month or so now, mainly as KoBe while I learn the basics - got the the Orcish mines a couple of times and D:15 once, but still don't really know what I'm doing beyond the basics of melee and running away. So time for my first post!!
Tried MiBe for a change and wow! I've got so much further than before to the point where I'm not sure what to do next. I'd like to take the opportunity to learn as much as I can while I'm down here...
I've cleared the orc mines and down to lair:7 which was a bit dicey in places so its time to take stock. I know I'm carrying too much stuff, so I plan on dropping a stash on lair:2 but I can't decide what I can leave behind as I don't know what's around the next staircase ( yeah 14 ?remove curse and 11 !cure is excessive)
Should I use my ?enchant weapons or keep them for something better (if I last long enough)
Is the -3 buckler worth it with keeping? I haven't used it since I got the +4 Str mutations
are the wands any good? I'll keep teleport, but not sure about the others
Any advice gratefully received

I've cleared the orc mines and down to lair:7 which was a bit dicey in places so its time to take stock. I know I'm carrying too much stuff, so I plan on dropping a stash on lair:2 but I can't decide what I can leave behind as I don't know what's around the next staircase ( yeah 14 ?remove curse and 11 !cure is excessive)
Should I use my ?enchant weapons or keep them for something better (if I last long enough)
Is the -3 buckler worth it with keeping? I haven't used it since I got the +4 Str mutations
are the wands any good? I'll keep teleport, but not sure about the others
Any advice gratefully received
