enough wands, just not enough booze. booze basically is question of money and money is question of patience.Originally Posted by gut
I've got enough patience.
Besides all you need to win arena is teleport wand with few charges. Running from non finished fights afterards might be quite amusing believe me
I also strongly consider installing some pet. Preferably humanoid to do dirty work for Kiku....
So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!

Pets don't sound very elitist to me. Sounds folksy.

Forget "A certain ogre magus", what about the hordes of ogres and ogre lords in Thrundarr's quest? Maybe settling for the gladius for a while (at least until you can kill ogres with it) before obtaining Big Punch would be wise.
ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!
Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

I'm a little surprised you didn't go for Raven-born. Getting RCT at level 16 would be pretty epic for a PC like this.
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
Ancient Member
yeah, but RTC would mean problems over. Where is fun in this?

part two: small patch of luck
Not much to write about honestly. We went to druid dungeon.Code:-These dungeons do not change? Well, i don't care unless they stop spitting stuff to kill. Kiku.
First level very boring
Second very much wolves. After getting Kiku to level eleven we enclosed werewolf and his summons in down right part...
On level three we closed some doors on dark elven factory. Tarantulas were just to brutal...Code:-What do you mean by stopped generation, i want... -But we can get more dangerous monsters downwards... So we went deeper.
On level four Kiku found some thieve picks, which meant she can lock doors now. We also run into blink dog.
Classic grind get him summon, drag some summons upstairs, kill them, repeat... On good news Kiku got teleport control and sold spare corpse in the village.
On level 6 w emet fire vortex and given damage on explosion Kiku got fire resist from beetles in ID.
We went down to DD7 without further problems, somehow none of us felt like finishing quest and we went up rather smoothly.
At least until DD4 greeted us with yet another dark elven wizard...
Well, Kiku is still cleaning her naked skin from all these spider remains in nearby river... Wizzy was not a problem, but nearly each of tarantulas was mortal fight even with poison resistance....
We sold some loot, got one more potion of booze from beggars and went to another local dungeon...
Three very uneventful dungeon levels...
Well, no altar but herbs are very good too. Stopped here as always stop before major herb farming...Code:-My feet feels so better on the grass... -Kiku! Stop stomping precious herbs... -These look good deal withered for me, let me pick... -Noooo!

Her perception score was modified by +14 during her career.
Summarry:
Got tp control, thieve picks, likely amulet of life saving
Found herbs not stabilized yet.
Confirmed - fire resist.
The quest for elitism goes on

on the topic of pets, i have recently discovered how good a
beggar is for a pet. Sure, they have almost zero damage
output, and melee damage is, like, 1d3 or something. BUT,
you can equip them with whatever junk kiku isn't using,
which would make them servicible for many tasks. Seriously,
a couple of shields ( i don't know if melee weapons even
work, off the top of my head), helmet, gauntlets (of peace?),
some boots, and they are worth something. Personally, I used
them for luring jharod to water cave, where he takes no
damage (but old barbarian does).
"Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."

part three: blessing of the gods
Well, in short there was potion shop on level. We also stabilized three patches -- including stats spenseweed and stoma [also antidote and pepper].Code:-And we simply far peacef... -Rats!- shouted Kiku charging in.- Rats for the quest. And at the same moment we heard a tiny bell at distance.
Some dedicated wererat kicked in, which was locked away with her minions. That meant no disturbance in herb picking, but locked rats blocked shop.... At least we bought like 9 potions of water before that....
Rats caused sickness again, but some healing potions solved the case...
I also blessed uncursed myself [forgetting not to uncurse stomacemptiaCode:-You are boring kind... -Kiku, just a tiny bit more of morgia...]... Some herbs were sold at village to finance our needs...
After two weeks of herbal diet Kiku finally looked like some adventuring material, so we went westwards again... Dusty dungeon was not very exciting but we tried our unId scrolls...
Well, i hit scroll of amnesia and did not have all stuff anems written down. Stupid me. On bright side i hit item detection which means we fetched teleport wand and soaked it into booze immediately.Code:-Prepare to die, you ugly... -Kiku, that is me your best guide ever. Just stop chasing me and we will... -Talkative monster soon you will be DEAD.
Afterwards we went to the boring main cavern, through boring levels, past black stone block... Wait, that is fucken altar on S2. Damn it....
Tension room [rats again] on same level saved lots of grinding and soon we got....
Curses some forum talks. Curses gut and grey and they eternal love... Kiku got Protector... Good thing long term but utter shit before getting mellee weapon...
Persistent as we are we kept sucking live creatures followed by sacrificing our big heap [80ish] uncursed stoma. That was not enough for extreme, but...
Well, stay tuned in order to found out if it was kickass weapon, tome of despair or... or something else...Code:-But you told... -Just pray, Kiku, we are definitely in times of need. -But that did not worked last five times. -Let's hope Ssraxx is just checking our patience, miss. -If you say so... And Ssraxx send his second gift under our girls feet.

wouldn't it be nice if Protector returned when thrown?
This is where words go

Looks like crown of Leadership - not a weapon, but it rocks imho.
Will you go for a 3rd precrown?
