Afraid of messing up Ultra

**Aerudaer** · 06-15-2010, 12:24 AM

I have lurked on these forums for a long time and even posted once or twice. I won once years ago before a few breaks from ADOM. I just started to play again about a week ago. I mainly just play gray elf wizards and am not very good. I have read about ultras before in the guidebook and in this forum. I have a character that I have been VERY lucky with and am going to try and get an ULE. I am currently at day 200 or so and looking for a boar skull. I have fed the ratling, have a PoCC, and scroll of danger and a wand of monster detection is sitting in the shop near Gaab-Bay. I have also saved Khelavaster, have the RoHK and the water orb. I have also completed the pyramid but am only lvl 20. I am VERY afraid of messing this up. Is there anything else I should be scared of doing at this point? I have 8 blessed SoCR, 1 cursed, and still have the weird tome. I only have 3 deaths so far in this installation and so can not visit the bug temple. I have no corruption. I had 3, but mana battery, poison hands, and stiff muscles boded ill, so I removed them. I am a packrat and have 30,000+ stones of equipment with me, so please excuse the inventory.

I also have every spellbook from the rift and page after page of herbs and food. I have ~70,000 gp. Any advice on how not to screw this up would be helpful as I really hope to make it. After ten years of playing and only 1 win, I really want to go for a big win this time.

A. doom yourself more [let say axe of doom on top of CoS] and run arround in forest. Boar skull will eventually drop.

B. I assumed your first kill to be a goblin, but no courage makes it dubious. Rather strange name for elf...

First kill was a goblin. The monster memory says I've already killed 24 of them. I may go for the courage skill but it will just make me go deeper and deeper. I only decided to try this after I got 2 wishes in the unremarkable dungeon. I used one for an amulet of life saving to get the spellbooks and scrolls. Then I foudn the other stuff and seemed to be going well. Mainly, I want to see the parts of the game I have never made it to and want to really beat it. I tend to drift in and out of playing games and rarely finish one. I always seem to come back to this one. I am bad with using herbs. I just run the same character over and try to get lucky. I should farms herbs and have a little bit, but got bored and plan to go back later. He started with a toughness <10 so I have done some work on him with Morgia but no sickness stuff.

A caveat, I know I used to use save scumming. I did NOT and will not with this guy, but I don't remember about the time I won before. I think I didn't but don't remember for sure. I remember getting close with it and then I think I actually got one without. It was back at the beginning of college and I've had a lot of stuff happen in my life since then.

Its ok dude - no one is going to crucify you for having used save scumming earlier on in life to learn more about the game...

Meanwhile, back to current PC: As Soirana says, getting doomed will help with generating many more wilderness encounters, and seeing as being doomed is dangerous, its best to be doomed from wearing something you can take off in a hurry if need be - the Crown of Science is your friend.

I would heartily recommend you drop some of your more useless junk - as a wizard with an endless list of spells, you will only need certain wands/scrolls/potions occasionally, and many others, never. Not to mention your shields and armor - how much good can all those clothes and ugly clothes really do you? You can sell them for 8 gp maybe, wow, like you are ever short of 8gp. Keep your dragon scale mail, keep your artifact armors, and maybe keep one more just for luck, but ditch the useless stuff. Heavy throwing clubs? Really?

The more genuinely useless crap you have in your inventory, the less likely you are to notice that one scroll or wand which can save your ass in a tricky situation.

Because its your first serious Ultra attempt, I also recommend going for a ULE - corruption is much easier to deal with when you are going for a Lawful ending, and stash maybe 80 % of your corruption removal items somewhere safe - no point loosing your entire stack of SoCR to an out of lightning lizard or something.
