    Ah, right, last time I tried it was before the star sign selector. Now it takes a lot less time.

    This strategy is pretty fun, even without speed running. Makes Merchant playable

    managed to get precrowned with executor after 5000 turns which is pretty good, will see how i go from here!

    Elves are pretty rough with this. I'm impressed by how well some people have been managing to do with them. Been trying to beat my score with an gray elf priest (rollscumming for teleport spellbook)... sheesh. On my last game had to attempt the ToEF with 63 HP and no Alertness. Went about as well as you might expect.
    Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.

    Post the nerfs to potions of confusion / cursed potions of invis i've found the ToEF close to impossible without about 150hp. You used to be able to just go invis and lure him out, throw a cursed invis + bless cure corruption and he was dead within a couple of turns with almost no risk. Times have changed!

    Shield of Raw Steel pushes HP to ~200 even for elves. With some luck (amulet for Khelly, mystic does not screw you) it is useful past ToEF too. Of course something needs kill all those golems... I usually rollscum for 14 To potential to avoid some unpleasantness.

    makes me think of roll scumming for lightning ball + teleport + bolt spell for a speed run

    I think I entered the Tower at 13 and hit 14 during the fighting. To was 10 or 11.

By the time you clear HMV, you can conceivably end up at level 8 with ~65k you need for a precrown. If you're lucky enough to find an altar, that early artifact could be interesting. Odds of it being super useful are not great, but if you hit BoW, Preserver, Executor, RoR or maybe something like Grod, you could be in really good shape. Lots of "if you're lucky" problems with this sort of run though. Going straight DT would guarantee the altar, but pushes precrown to level 11.
    Success! This method worked great--finished a Dwarf Merchant (ring) in 22204 turns. Started off with about 45k in gold, 22 To and 9 starting PV (armor + To + 2 rings), killed Kranach for 3k more before UD a quick UD run (nothing worth mentioning). Dove through CoC, pausing to do 19 arena fights for more gold, got to DT at level 11. Sold all of my junk gear and had just enough for precrown, from which I got Kinslayer. Now we're in business. Returned out of CoC, cleared Griff, Pyramid, then hit Darkforge. With Kinslayer I was able to kill all of the golems, picking up RDSM from the treasury and up to about level 17 or so, with 8k turns passed. I didn't have a fireproof blanket/RoI, teleport or control though, and no way to get the VDDL wand at the moment. So I gambled on pools... got super lucky: 1 wish, +TCtrl, +Tele, +Invis, +Para... pretty much as good as you can possibly get. I wished for the rings of ice (got the wish before the teleport stuff), then had to make a quick run up to DT to clear Doom. Hit the ToEF at just over 10k turns. ACW was fairly tough... didn't have the right disablers so I just tanked him in melee--I had 28 To and over 200 HP, so figured it was fine. Burned through most of my PoEH and some piety, but dropped him.

    Grabbed the VDDL wand, Water Orb, and dove to Casino. Bought out what I needed (not much), got kitty ring, and found an altar on D:34ish that I used for crowning with =Acid and crown of leadership. Did Air easily, then headed to Earth. Kinslayer isn't ideal for Earth and my only regen item was a knife of endurance I would dual wield while I wasn't fighting, but with over 60 PV and a few spenseweeds, was pretty easy. Corruption was becoming a bit of a problem... only SoCR was HMV one, and I had about 4 corruptions--mostly middling stuff like babbling mouth/teleport/very light. Archmage was okay... burned through a lot of piety fighting him in melee, used blindness and a few cursed pots of invis to keep him from using too many death rays, but he still managed to do a lot of damage... added poison hands.

    With all orbs gathered, dove to D:50. Had to fight my way through the middle area, using teleportitis to jump my way slowly through the jellies and into the corridors. Top lever room had a beehive in it (weird?), so after I killed the balor and the other monsters, I just hit the lever and then poked the hive until the room was full of bees, then closed a door on them. Bottom lever I pulled the balor off, used WoD and left level.

    [edit]Interesting, teleportitis actually saved me very few turns in the endgame. I hit ToEF around 10k turns, so the endgame was still roughly 12k turns.
