CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome. Now YASD

I've been messing around with Crwal long enough to love it... and hate it! Opening the only door from your wizards' starting position and looking at a pack of 5 or 6 jackals is enough to ruin your day.
That being said, Ive never won a game yet. I've been so far as to see the Orb, and not grab it.
So some constructive advice before I go further would be welcome.
So far, I've yet to grab a rune for this character. I found some decent gear early on that warranted leveling some melee skills, but I've tried to not overdo it.
Dump below.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

There are a number of things I like about this dump. You have two weapons that are on a and b; you have a blowgun and curare; most of the items you are using are relatively good. The aspect of strategy that I think you can improve the most at is training skills. This is kind of a cliche when people are giving advice, but that's because skill training can be one of the more difficult things to pick up. I will start with a few principles:
1) skills are cheaper to level when they are low than when they are high.
2) there is always a small number of skills (usually one) that would benefit you the most in the near future.
3) the skills you train should correlate to some extent with your aptitudes and the items you find.

This means that you should usually only have one or two skills on at a time, and that on a character for which many skills are relevant, you should almost never have a couple of very high skills and the rest super low. For instance, this character already has more spellcasting and conjurations than it needs to win the game, and it hasn't even been past d:14. =P Meanwhile, it is bad at everything else. I suggest setting a few priorities and reaching them before you do anything else. Dodging to 14, shields to 5, fighting to 12, long blades to 14 (hopefully you have a better long blade but that can be advice for another time). Something like this would be good.

You also might want to consider what your plan for your spells should be. Right now, all of your spells do pretty much the same thing but are from different schools. Your next move after rounding your character out could be going through your books and picking out which of fire/earth/air/poison you have the best spells for and sticking with that - or which you like the most, or whatever. Also, go ahead and wield that staff (it will auto-ID). Maybe it will help your decision.

Um, what else. I assume you're not going to rush getting a rune (I see you are on shoals:3 and I could easily imagine you dying on shoals:5, as it is quite a difficult level). A safer route would be to go find Vaults.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

You should train skills one by one. One well trained skill is better than a lot of badly trained ones.
First train shields to 5. It quickly gives some obvious benefits.
Your EV looks ok to me, but if you have seen repell misiles spell somewere it will be much better with it.
Your strongest side is conjurations and I don't think it's bad, but it could be better, so first wield that staff to ID, if it's a staff of conjuration it will be awesome. Secondly, if you are not confident that you didn't miss any glowing/runed robes, ctrl-f for them, because a robe of archmagi will further enhance your spells which will give you even more killing power. With those two enhancers your spells will deal a lot more damage and I mean a lot.
I don't see much meaning in training fighting, though. A bit more hp and melee damage won't help you as much as other things I said. Training some weapon skill, like long blades to 14 would be a good backup for conserving MP on popcorn or finishing something off when low on mp, you could do this next, after shields, then dodging or fighting or both.

After shields I, personally, would just train earth or fire first, because I think that killing things quickly with a strong conjuration is a better idea for a mage, then meleeing. After a bit of training them I would still switch to things above, but your defence doesn't look so bad, especially if you learn some buffs.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

I ID'd the staff... turned out to be a staff of death. So I dropped it in my stash, where I double-checked the 2 robes that I have there. I have a +2 robe of cold resistance, and +2 positive energy. So I'll stick with my troll armor unless something better comes along. Both of my short blades offer good benefits, and only use a single skill, so I'll probably just use those for popcorn. Raising SB to around 10 or 12 should be enough, right?
Both of you are advising SH, so I'll get that going as well. And I just found a book with Haste!!! =D The success rate blows, but I can fix that!

Leaving Shoals for now to delve deeper and raise these skills.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

Since both your weapons are daggers, they hit mindelay at 10. More Short Blades than that hardly gives any benefit unless you find a good sabre or something.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

You're actually better off with a long blade for a few reasons. You have more long blades skill than short blades skill, a better aptitude, and when I said that "most of" the items you were using were OK, the ones that were not that I was thinking about were those two daggers. =P Still, it might not be terrible. Feel free to experiment with what you'd like to.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

I see what you mean when i comes to using LB as opposed to SB, but both daggers offer great options for resistances, and I manly plan to use them as clean-up, popcorn killing and possible emergency situations.
But as of now, I'm focusing my SB and Charms (Haste). After I get those to the right numbers, I'll raise SH, Dodging and Fighting.

Tuns out this bad boy might end up as a marginally hybridized character.

And now I have a Scroll of Disappointment... I'll go through my stash and see what direction the disappointment will go!

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

You'd better use long blades even for popcorn. For resistances, you can always switch, but for actually killing, short blades are too weak, unless you are a stabber.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

The least disappointing aquirement is probably staff. I'm not sure how it works, but your conjurations should be a bit higher than spellcasting, or you'll aquire something like a staff of power or staff of energy. If you aquire a staff of conjuration, your conjurations spell power should go up by a lot.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

If you plan on hanging on to the quickblade, then I highly recommend keeping your eyes open for scrolls of vorpalize weapon and getting some extra edge on it. Freezing and especially elec is nice.

Dont forget that you can stab pretty effectively with a quickblade, provided you are quiet enough.

Believe it or not, I have a Vorpalize scroll. I was planning on hanging on to it for a bit to see if I could get an electric brand. Not likely at this point, though, so I'll probably end up using it as is.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

Wow... this is the first chance I've really had to get a true hybrid going, and I'm loving it!
I've delved further into the lower levels, hit up most of the Spiders Nest and most of the Shoals. Waiting to clear the last levels.
Right now, I'm going through the Elven Halls in hops of finding some good shops. Also visited the Vaults, but there are some nasty groups in this run, so I'll go back later.
I did end up having to put more skill into my LB, since I found an outstanding long sword! Been switching between that and my quick blade, but mainly leaning on the sword.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

well, they don't call them scrolls of disappointment for nothing(this one surprised me, though), btw, why would you even use a quickblade?.. it's extremely weak and you are not exactly a stabber, not that quickblades are good for low level stabbing, too.

I like the name of your sword.

b - the +9,+6 long sword "Tristian's Peril" (weapon) {drain, Str+1}
(You found it on level 1 of the Spider Nest)

A truly terrible weapon


At this phase in the game, that's a pretty accurate statement.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

Yeah, I don't think that sword is as good as you seem to think. The +6 is nice, but longsword is not a good base type and draining isn't a good brand. Eventually you'll want to enchant up a scimitar or demonblade instead.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

Yeah, I'd call that a decent long sword, which I'd be looking to upgrade. If one-handed swords are your thing, flaming/freezing scimitars are pretty common, and would constitute an upgrade. Naturally you'll want a nice enchanted demon blade long term.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

I figured I would use it if I'm low on MP and a nasty came around the corner on me. At that point I won't give a damn about XP... just living! Other than that, my QB seems to be great for mop-up work... a creature that survives a magic blast and gets to close for his own good! Not really concerned about stabbing at this point.
I've been looking for another good long sword with a decent enchantment... no go yet.
And not a demon blade to be found.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

The exp loss from draining is so negligible it shouldn't probably even be brought up most times.
What people are talking about is the sword itself not being very good since the long sword item type isn't very good.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

I'm gonna say something that can readily be beat down by everybody.........
I like the sword cuz it's the first time I've had an Artifact named for me!
So it's a vanity thing... if it bites me in the butt.......... I understand.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

Q: Is that quick blade good? How good or bad is it?
A: That quick blade is a fairly respectable weapon and good enough to win with. Usually, if you have found a quick blade before you have significantly leveled up any weapon skills, you should just use it. Quick blades require very little weapon skill to use effectively and scale off of anything that adds flat damage better than any other weapon in the game. They may seem weak because they require more keypresses to kill things, and the annoyance that causes can be a real reason not to use one.

Q: Is that long sword good? How good or bad is it?
A: This is actually kind of interesting. I think that to a new player, that long sword looks awesome, to an intermediate player it looks terrible, and to an experienced player it looks OKish but a little bit weak. It's a weapon that you could probably win the game with, but you shouldn't want to. If you had 14 long blades skill, which you don't, then most of the time it would do slightly less damage over time than the quick blade.

Re: CIP: HECj... Advice Welcome

My Named long sword is a groovy weapon. One that I can rely upon in many situations.
My Quick Blade is very well enchanted. Makes for a great weapon when hasted... and a hasted mage with a skilled QB is a fearsome foe!**


I'm gonna answer both questions with a bit of inexperience.
Both weapons are good... As a hybrid HECj I'm trying for both.

Taking it slow... haven't played yet since my last dump.




**I Hope!
