    Default First Win, Orc Barbarian.

    First Win (only reloaded after a crash)

    only found one Wish through the whole game and drained all pools i got near by (had to use it on SoCR since i ran out while chopping my way through Balors), but even then i had a fairly easy game, only really having three points where it looked somewhat ugly (Tower (hate that place) and Air Temple, where Air Temple was more due to me not thinking, and then a severe lack of controlled Corruption handling lategame)

    had two greater vaults which was cleared easily and gave me a lot of stuff (usability is viable), and a greater Moloch Tension room on D:47 which gave me a lot of save experience (with Executor and blessed 7LB)

    ---

    Started out with my usual combo by generating SMC, getting Pickpocketing and diving down to generate a live cute doggie. Then i dived to save the Carpenter, and then cleared VC and PC ... unable to find an alter to change to N (my prefered) so i went through SMC and found one, and sneaked back the way i came to get healing and went back and the rest of the way through UD

    after that i took CoC and the first 3 DT quests followed by Pyramids, Griffyard and raiding Darkforge, in that order. After that i had a minor farming session in Tomb because i neither had a Wand of Cold, nor a Ring of Ice (or a AoLS but i knew that was a long shot so i didn't expect it to come by), but got lucky and found a AoLS first, followed by a wand and a ring on my way back up (even through i first learned it in DT where my stash of Scrolls and potions was hidden) ... dived down to Firewall and back up clearing Water Temple on my way.

    Back up grabbing High Kings (finding my first(!) Anvil on my way down there) and taking on Tower, with a bit of a close shave against a Fire Giant King on top level winning by tossing Sickness, poison and blindness potions after the boss.

    Back into CoC, clearing slowly my way downwards, camping out in Casino so i could get 4.5mil for interesting stuff in gift shoppe, bypassing Air Temple (since i didn't have any Humanoid arrows) all the way down to Earth which i cleared (getting my second Anvil), and a Greater Giant Vault just below which i cleared as well getting Executor.

    back up to the nearest alter to check my stuff and then back down again to a Greater Fire Vault which i cleared as well getting even more artifacts ... by then i felt fairly comfortable being able to win as long as i didn't took to much time since i knew that my only problem could be corruptions. dived down to Mana Temple as fast as i could (no looking around on the levels) pelting the ArchMage with Humanoid arrows, untill i was close enough to hit him in melee, and went back up as fast as possible to D:48 ... put the orbs into their respective holes and went through D:49 with Sis (and 5 potion of uselessnesses) ... D:50 was a bit hectic since i knew i was under severe time constaints but luckily none of the mobs could really touch me due to a high DV (Screenshot is while Very Aggessive, which i was most of the game) so i could chop my self through whatever came at me with no big problems (not even Fistanarius could harm me enough for it to be dangerous)

    Good job! And it's not a gray elven wizard!

    Though really, orc barbs are pretty extreme in their own right.
    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.

    Fuck year not a wizard. Funny thing that you had problems in the Air temple, it's one of the easier ones. I assume you didn't have invisibility?

    Air Temple ate my Cloak of invis just as i was about going in and smack the Summoner, and i forgot that it would be better to use the ring of invis i had stacked back in my stash. so i got fairly swamped by anything but the summoner, and had to fight my way back out (helped by me being fast as well) and try again with the ring instead ...

    Got a Lot of PoGA's in this game ... think 7 or 8

    You were uncorrputed when leaving the game. Does that mean you did the unicorn quest *after* you saved the world? It's a pretty good way to ensure that corruption is not a problem (after clearing all temples and such).
    I used to do it after, which is really silly as the game is won then...always do it before now. I even get some use out of mana orb as well - good for casters - top up on corruptions just before talking to whitey.

    No crowning?

    -M

    Anyway congrats on the win.
