I tried invis, but it failed as usual with Waldy. It's not like I had good uses for 100k gold with dwarven trainer dead anyway.

[mjkittredge]

how do you do the trick with the ratling rebel to get multiple blank scrolls?

how do you do the trick with the ratling rebel to get multiple blank scrolls?

Just chat repeatedly and plop all resulting spam in normal water?

I actually was more interested in getting example of peace scroll for DL manipulations. Well, it's not like I plan start farming anytime soon.

You'll have to first find a place to ditch all those gems. My recent experiences with shopkeepers left me with less than 20k after selling stuff to Waldy, Leggot and a random shop.
Sure, they eventually replenish their gold reserves but it might take some time.

So, in nutshell:
grabbed high rings king, did tower, decided to go to Casino....
Then I rembered I planned farm xp on eternal guardians, so bypassed him, checked casino (got farlsayer) and went down.
I bypassed cat lord (thanks to the eyes of mind) and cleared couple elemental temples (used 30+ fireball wand charges in Earth temple, but I don't fancy that place anyway).

Somwhere found necklace of eye (good) and stashed dozen tame giant boars above animated forest. Guess, I should do Frost queen stuff...

Well, reaching library will be a problem with climbing g at 50...
Luckily, I can use that stupid wand to cover for any stuff I feel I need for, thus I started leveling on the eternal guardians using 7lb and stilts to kite.

They give 0.5mil xp each, but for troll it is still long way...
p.s. got these stupid caster talents (had to boost perception before hitting lv30...)

Bad thing I presumably entered unicorn glade while chaotic and later allignment changed still keep horsey pissed.
Being on O on corruption list is bad but delable, but these literally killed my perception score...

Also one of molochs runaway with rune-covered trident(I think he should be ctachable in wilderness although). I had to finish fuckers with mindcraft.

Things trolls do for xp....

6059 monsters perished under her attacks.
     45 eternal guardians
     21 greater fire elementals
     80 greater molochs


Dispatched the legendary frost giant Fiyr.
Dispatched the legendary wererat Sir Niveous Frost.
Dispatched the legendary black wizard Alcazar the Mad.

~d46 there is greter undead vault with hwta looks a lot like Thunderstroke. Pretty sure I do not want to attempt getting it with troll.

[Sian]

Nice weapon thru

[Soirana]

Well, I managed to find that moloch as 'friendly' encounter. I chosed to allow him follow, entered location and got by trident back....

So, about time to make looting plan. My basic idea is to replicate banshee vs animated forest. Well, banshee does not work on plants anymore, so it will be replaced by boars (fast, strong, don't see invisible, don't smash doors).

I presume that some of them will go rogue, but that just turns them neutral and they can be retamed (and likely will fight hostile trees - I plan agravate forest by using fire magic).

Since I have no intention to control them, I think dropping speed is a must (lower speed, more boar cation per turn, more loot). ideally, I will be able to supress messages and w5 (with custom set longish persistance).

Check on stuff:
Boars - 12 above AF, might need more we will see how it goes.

Speed lowering -- moloch armour, boots of slow shuffle, bookcasted slow monster, bloated.

Sight improvement (boars should be more in check if I see them, but that likely reduces spawn rate of trees, so will need to optimize) - necklace of eye, everburning torch, farsight (managed to read wished for spellbook, surprisingly).

Safety meassures - I'llprobably wish for AoLS just in case, should also try to hunt queens stalkers, drink pools for perm invisibility once boars are in place.

DL - manipulation, have both smaple of danger and peace scrolls and two writing sets. I think just killing DL down to 1 and eventually recycling potions at D3 (to get some pots of wonder, to obtain knowledge of wish).

Mana battery: I have two wishes left, probably gonna use one for tomes of order, as these would give me most chances to recycle corruptions (wish is probably worth around 10 tries?)...

PP - I am close to 1k now, PoGA's (from loot and chaos alchemy) will push another few hundred easily. After that wand drain I guess. In theory blessed scrolls/crystals of power can improve PP too.

[Blasphemous]

I'm surprised your troll only has 644 HP, even with just 31 toughness.
I expected a higher number; my gray elf had more than 700 at around 35 toughness.
