Be careful doing that for long - you'll slowly accumulate corruption past D:9. You'll want to keep that in mind as you grind.Thanks guys! I think I'm gonna take it easy and just go Down in the CoC and try to level up some.

Okay!
Things I Have Done:
1.) I Spanked the Mummy! He was NOT polite to me this time, possibly because I teleported right next to him to start things off? Then I burned him with fireballs. From a wand.
2.) I Killed the High Skeleton King. I ran OUT of Fireballs on him, and beat him to death with my Terrible Fists. It was easier than I thought it would be.
3.) I found the Dwarf Mystic(?) He(She?) Gave me 7 Purple Potions, and 4 Scrolls Labeled Sutsi!
4.) I have an Amulet of Life Saving! It is too Late for the Dying Sage with the IMPOSSIBLE to Spell Name. He died earlier when I chatted to him.
5.) I got corrupted! I am attuned to the astral planes. It makes me teleport randomly, but I can control where I go, just not when. I should probably have mentioned this first, since it happened before the other things. Too late now! Oops! :/
So! I am A Beastfighter. I Have the Mummy Wraps. I Do Not Need a weapon. So I will not be going to Darkforge?
Should I now be heading to the Water Temple? Oh wait, I need to recharge my wand of digging, maybe after that. I have a pickaxe, but one thing I have learned is Pickaxes break! It sucks.I like digging out my own tunnels with them.
OH! I should probably Ask, what gloves should I use, and what rings? I will post my gear to show you guys.
Thanks everyone! Pretty sure water temple is coming up. Then Somehow I need to get more HP I think, so I can do the Fire Temple. I have found a few small patches of good herbs, mostly Somafillia, which is in the big room and I can harvest safely cause I'm invisible, which is still the best thing ever (!), but is VERY tiring cause I can't press W then 5 to make it reappear. I also Found Moriga Root and Moss of Marelion(sp?) in the first level of the High King's place. (Is that a temple, or a hole in the ground, or what?) But, I do not want to stay there because I will get corrupted! Suggestions? I don't know how much I need Dexterity or Willpower, and my Toughness is over 25 already!
OH,
P.S. Why did my wand of Fireballs not tell me it was hurting the High King, but it really was? I had to Look at him and see he was more injured after each few blasts. Very Strange! It did not say anything. Also! I drank a Potion of Speed Boost right before we fought! It was funny cause I had like 159 speed or something. Crazy.
P.P.S. A Friendly Ratling Duelist challenged me to a duel! But then he died. Still, he was very nice about it! I felt bad about killing him!

The scrolls are chaos resistance (potions are insight). Put them somewhere safe. They can remove the teleport corruption if you want, but since you have control of it, I think it's probably worth keeping. Can be handy to get around rivers and whatnot.Originally Posted by Lasher
Only if you want to mangle the golems. If you don't have fire immunity (NVM, you have it), I guess it might be worth checking the armor room on the off-chance you find red dragon armor. Or if you need gold for crowning (GET CROWNED ASAP, beastfighters get awesome crowning gifts), then you may as well raid DF to sell those.
Blessed pickaxes will break less frequently, or you can train the mining skill if you have it. Glod will fix pickaxes, but he'll charge you an arm and a leg for it. Probably best just to find some beggars and recharge your wand. Water Temple seems like the next logical destination. [edit]You have a scroll of charging. Use that.Should I now be heading to the Water Temple? Oh wait, I need to recharge my wand of digging, maybe after that. I have a pickaxe, but one thing I have learned is Pickaxes break! It sucks.
Ring of elemental mastery makes you immune to fire, lightning and cold. With +3 PV as well, that's a big winner for rings. Ring of speed with 4 PV is a perfectly good choice for the other. For gauntlets... I guess I'd wear the red ones for now, since the elemental will increase food consumption and all you get for it is 1 more PV. It's worth hanging on to the elemental ones though since they're indestructible and will protect your rings, as well as making it cheaper to heal yourself with the Water Orb.
Why? Trading 3 immunites for 2 DV and extra food consumption seems a poor choice to me.

immunity isn't much better than resistance, and sometimes worse (-fire items are fireproof, while =fire items aren't).
The resistances are supplied by the EG's and supported in -fire via kings ring.

I killed the Snake! He was Very Tough! I had to eat my Blessed Extra Healing Potions to survive! Honestly, I don't know if it's my level or just a weak character, but I am having trouble killing stuff now! I will try to get crowned, but without much (that darn herb which gives you a full belly and what I can't spell right now) it's a trial.
I'll try to kill the golems that guard the stuff and then maybe I will be able to be stronger and steal the armor and sell it!
OH!
Also, that dang snake beat me up! Now I am further corrupted. I am very light! I only weigh 16 pounds! My Dex went up by 4, my Str, To, and Ap went down by 6, and I gained 20 speed! I was thinking, 20 speed is nice, but is it worth it?
I'm strained right now and my speed is 153.
EDIT: I stopped by Dwarf Town, and I got Crowned before I left!I got the Bracers of War and The same Resistance as last time, acid! So, back down, or back up to the fire temple? But I am only level 16! Can I take it on?!

You can probably take on the fire temple, but there are some things I'd do first:
- train strength back up to 18 by being strained! (the food shop in Terinyo is a good place to do it; unequip artifacts to decrease food consumption)
- train toughness back up to 25 with morgia (after that, you may want to remove the corruption to gain +6 str and to; you already get an extreme speed bonus in the ToEF as a drakeling so the +20 speed doesn't help there)
- kill the golems for xp
- before you enter the tower, make sure you have equipped the elemental gauntlets and the water orb
- It helps immensely to blind, stun, paralyze or confuse the wyrm. What wands do you have?
You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.
Ancient Member
you are a low xp level because you are so fast. speed reduces xp gains. It is not a bad trade, at least not entirely.
Do not enter the tower now, that is my advice. I suggest doing the first 2 things grobble mentioned, meaning
build St and To. I'd recommend doing all the levels of the caverns of chaos that you can, then doing darkforge,
then doing the ToEF's if your xl is 20. If you aren't xl 20, go fight in the cavernous levels of the tomb of the
high kings until you get it.
