Decided to gently caress around with a quick Centaur Hunter run to warm myself back up for finishing some old characters I have lying around. It seems crawl has missed me because it has decided to shower me with early goodies. code:So the game decided to shower me with PDA, three scrolls of acquirement and a potion of experience as the first thing I drank and more than enough arrows to sustain until Okawaru decided to shower me with them. Just absolutely disgusting, might go and just do slime as my third rune and get the gently caress outta the dungeon in under 4 hours. I mostly wish that uncle okie would kick down the storm bow or something instead of gifting random garbage shortbows, otherwise I'm fairly content. This character basically is performing a driveby of the dungeon.

I've been playing this stupid game on and off for several years now and I'm finally about ready to enter Zot for the first time. code:Other than possibly switching out the rCorr for another pip of rFire, is there anything I can do to maximize my chances of finally winning? I also have a +9 vampiric randart broad axe but it's MR-, and I have an antimagic one I can enchant to +10.

You've got enough MR I'd suggest dumping the MR ring for rF+ or rN+ and having the antimagic broad axe on switch when you're bapping magic users (and there are many in Zot!). Take it slow, magic map each level so you know where the stairs are and don't stick around to fight more than you need to. You don't need the extra experience.

Lawman 0 posted:m - +10 Black Knight's horse barding {ponderous, rPois rN+} How's the Black Knight's barding doing for you? Trading your boots slot for +10 is a wicked deal, but I thought that centaurs where generically poor at stuff to make up for their movespeed, which means giving it up is a bit of an eye waggle. Or is 48AC for a bow user "idgaf" territory?

Partially that but also the one ponderous gear only means that I'm just one step slower so I'm still slightly faster than normal.

From there, if your resist pips are still looking anemic, maybe try Slime 4? The lack of rN+ would be kinda scary and you'd need to be ready for a single, extremely dangerous and extended fight, but I think you're just about the best possible build for kicking the poo poo out of the Royal Jelly. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 05:11 on May 21, 2020 |

The antimagic brand is definitely one of the larger boons of being a Troglodyte. Elf is...generally not more dangerous than Zot, I would agree with checking there, if you haven't looted it yet. The vault fight on a really bad day can be almost as bad as clearing the lungs in Zot, but that's uncommon and most Elf threats are much more manageable. Just take the fights with appropriate caution. You'll face many similar threats as to what's in Zot, though significantly squishier and less likely to mob you all at once; spellcasters mixed with high-damage melee blenders, summons, and the occasional risk of being blinked or banished. Fortunately, antimagic is quite helpful against elfy gits.  E: And the Hall of Blades in elf can sometimes provide the exec axe you might be dreaming of, though do that double-cautiously because dancing weapons can be astoundingly dangerous.

Smiling Knight posted:Just cleared Vault 5 using death channel for the first time. Playing a beefy Gnoll, so I didn’t even need to stair dance. Just tab and an ever-expanding army of ghosts. Fun and immensely satisfying! Avoided the posting curse, and took this guy to 15 runes! Never done extended with Gozag before, it was great rolling through an early Tomb with a pair of Greater Mummies and an Ancient Lich as my bodyguards. Ended the game with 20k in the bank, clearly I should have summoned more shops and bribed more liberally.

Aside from that I don't think so? It'd be cool if you could find Caravan tickets that take you to merchant portals.

Not too difficult, really. The wizard key probably uses the unused code to generate a "portal" from back when Nemelex had the Deck of Dungeons and, in particular, the Trowel Card.

I've been splatting MuCKs for a week on Kelbi Gooncrawl; I had one up to 9 runes, then died being stupid and getting confused in a Zig. Confusion is REAL bad for Mummies.

Finally 15 runed an Abomination. Not sure why but killed like 20 in a row, every piece of artifact armour was -F, never found a ring with more than rF+. Ended up having to wear 4 rings of rF and gold dragon scales to get this one through, which made rounding out the other resists difficult. Ended up only having rM+++ but still squeaked through. Also weird thing, had horns mutation, didn't find a single hat (even +0) until halfway through Pan. Never was hoping for Gastronok more in a run I think. Going to try skeleton I think but maaaaaan that early game. Also think I'm really going to miss having 8 ring slots but no way I'm getting on that OcMo train again.

Ugh got to three runes with the next play on a Skeleton but they are just so freaking fragile, and unlike other -20% guys (gargoyle, venom stalker) they get literally no mitigation. Got run down to zero almost instantly by acid blobs despite having rCorr. 15 runing one of these guys is going to suck really hard. It's basically stair dancing: the game.

I am pleased to report that a DsAc of Qaz with rift, nightstalker, the armor of the dragon king, and spec weap/regen/song of slaying is basically invincible. There's literally one tile-ring of my LOS that I can't poke with my distort stick. Also, antennae will sense enemies out of your artifically lowered LOS, which is pretty cool. And of course, just deleting 25% of the enemies you fight makes things go a lot faster.

If something(adding another reserved spell, taking off MP+ gear, losing an MP+ mut, etc) would bring your total mp pool below zero everything gets dispelled automatically, iirc. Adding more reserved spells usually isn't a huge problem unless you're trying to stack a lot of them with high failrates on a char who has very bad mp for whatever reason.
