Is there some reason for walking around on Berserk even then no one is in the melee range? Or is it that you just don't want to bother to constantly switch the settings?Originally Posted by AlterAsc

Usually i don't bother, unless i believe there's a dangerous enemy around.
Anyway, dead. Next time i'll decide to kill Chaos Diplomat on behalf of Ice Queen, i'll check that he has 254 speed before i attack him. And i couldn't hit him even once with +94 to-hit. And of course he ignores PV, while dealing 52-110(avg. 62) damage per hit.
Second part where i clear graveyard, darkforge and die in IQD.

The Chaos Diplomat will die instantly from a thrown PoCC. Since the first Ice Queen quest conveniently rewards you with a couple of extra PoCC, it's worth spending one imo.
You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.

Okay, so played a bit further. DV/PV at 25/25, which is okay for now, but needs to be improved. The worst is that I need better shield... and better weapon too.
So, my not so hot plan:Code:Sssiss St:15 Le: 8 Wi:22 Dx:11 To:23 Ch:11 Ap: 9 Ma:13 Pe:13 CN DV/PV: 25/25 H: 119(148) P: 93(93) Exp: 14/101820 M: 20676 Head : metal cap [+0, +1] [50s] Neck : - Body : uncursed Perion's mithril plate mail (-1, -4) [-1, +13] Girdle : blessed adamantium girdle [+0, +3] [just dropped] Cloak : - Right Hand : uncursed large mithril hammer (-4, 1d10+5) [meh] Left Hand : blessed large shield (-1) [+7, +1] [120s] Right Ring : uncursed ring of defense +1 [1s] Left Ring : - Bracers : - Gauntlets : uncursed gauntlets (-1, +0) [+0, +1] [10s] Boots : uncursed sandals (+1, +1) [+0, +0] [6s] Missile Weapon: - Missiles : blessed small mithril shield [+3, +1] Tool : uncursed torch [10s] Gauntlets ('[') uncursed gloves [+0, +0] [6s] white gauntlets [I checked 2PV, so likely dragon hide] Necklaces (''') uncursed amulet of free action [lost already, some breath attack] One-handed weapons ('(') blessed orcish spear (+1, 1d8+2) [75s] blessed green club (+0, 1d6-1) [sold already] Missiles ('/') uncursed arrow (+0, 1d6-3) [2s] bundle of 2 uncursed arrows (+0, 1d6+1) [4s] uncursed arrow of slaying (+0, 1d6+2) [2s] blessed arrow (+1, 1d6) [2s] bundle of 6 uncursed arrows (+0, 1d6) [12s] bundle of 3 cursed arrows (+0, 1d6) [6s] bundle of 3 blessed arrows (+0, 1d6) [6s] bundle of 3 uncursed arrows (+3, 1d6) [6s] uncursed balanced arrow (+4, 1d6) [2s] bundle of 4 uncursed arrows (+1, 1d6) [8s] uncursed arrow of targeting (+6, 1d6) [2s] uncursed arrow (+0, 1d6+2) [2s] uncursed arrow [2s] quarrel [2s] bundle of 7 arrows [14s] Tools (']') blessed waterproof blanket [10s] uncursed round key [1s] cursed box with flint and steel (47) [5s] uncursed fireproof blanket [10s] strange item [10s] fireproof blanket [two random fire blankets....] Wands ('\') uncursed wand of stunning (2 charges) [3s] uncursed wand of knocking (3 charges) {knock} [3s] uncursed wand of ball lightning (5 charges) [4s] uncursed wand of light (8 charges) [4s] uncursed wand of item detection (2 charges) [3s] uncursed iron wand {tp} [charged up] wand of wonder (4 charges) [last resort] wand of door creation (4 charges) [3s] Potions ('!') heap of 5 potions of holy water [20s] uncursed potion of potential charisma [4s] uncursed potion of healing [4s] cursed potion of booze [4s] cursed oil of rust removal [2s] uncursed potion of invisibility [4s] uncursed rainbow-hued potion {heal} [from HMV] heap of 2 potions of water [8s] Scrolls ('?') uncursed scroll of uncursing [2s] blessed scroll of power [2s] uncursed scroll of balance [2s] uncursed scroll of increase melee damage [2s] Food ('%') heap of 8 cursed spenseweeds [16s] heap of 2 cursed alraunia antidotes [4s] heap of 3 cursed pepper petals [6s] heap of 4 cursed moss patches of mareilon [8s] cursed curaria mancox herb [2s] heap of 2 uncursed large rations [400s] spenseweed [2s] alraunia antidote [2s] Valuables ('$') 4458 gold pieces [44s] Gems ('*') cursed crystal of light [1s] cursed worthless piece of blue glass [1s] cursed turquoise [1s] blessed crystal of light [1s] uncursed crystal of fire [1s] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Playing Time ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You played for 2 hours, 30 minutes and 1 second. {UD8 - was not good, luckily rust monsters are mindcraftable}
0.Call the internet provider (I know that my download speed was always at least 5x better than upload, but this is getting stupid)
1. back to arena generate some cash (to buy smithing) --- need to clear up big room, I think I just confused waved and run on the way in.
2.Buy smithing (girdle is definitely worth smithing, maybe even mithril shield if I have enough ore, not sure about iron stuff - I'd prefer at least black-dragon gauntlets)
2.1 get pickaxe (probably through pyramid, although might as well kill dwarves while I am C) and corrode it (to cut on repairs - corroded pick can be covered by gemology).
3.Fix St -- 15 is at potential max, I think stuff ogre corpses to dwarf shop, raise food preserve at least to 60 and grind stone giants.
3.1 get enough herbs for stat training, I've paid for learning, but I am not so sure it's worth improving at this point.
4. Get better weapon, my guess would be farm hills for orcs, but I need down the luck, so lure and lock karmic lizard (disarmer would not hurt either), will likely need to grind my neutral piety afterwards (I think I used up most of my chaos piety anyway). Bless and rustproof weapon if it happens to be iron-made(likely).
5. Kill stone statue for Thundarr, I think I left one in PC6 mixed vault in case big room fails to spawn it.
Good news, UD8 had some ants and it looks like gems drop rather normally. Problemic part is anvil/pick axe repairs - so probably need to mine a lot, before even thinking about killing smith.
Lots of grinding ahead
So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
(after 15 I stopped counting...)

Okay, so I recalled another source of items... grave digging. And I mean simple non-great treassure graves.
Lots of grinding ahead
Even more reasons to corrode pick-axe. Surprisingly about ten hits into oozes did nothing. Might be due to -acid from plate mail.
Pretty sure grave robbery comes before smithing, might need go for stone giants first Big Punch +Perion is already burdened on 15 St, I think.

Just to give everyone a quick update, there have been many, many deaths so far (death by cat lord, mimic in casino, early crowning, GUV's, etc) and not a single submission! This game type is turning out to be quite the challenge it seems, and it's been very fun to watch the struggle =) Keep it up guys!

I had a good run going with a GE elementalist the other day. Well, he was an Elementalist in name only... got precrowned with True Aim and never looked back. Had a book shop near DT from which I grabbed Teleport + MM. Had rune-covered trident and High Kings. Overconfidence got me... was clearing out Darkforge and decided to try to kill Kherab. That went... poorly.
Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.

I think I pass on this thing... had nice crafter with preserwer found club of pentrtion. Doing nicely.... until power went out. Savefile has backup, but I can't say the same about 2+ hours of video.

Ouch, that is rough... what recording software were you using? Some of them will write up to like the last 10s of video to disk, it's possible that you didn't lose everythingI think I pass on this thing... had nice crafter with preserwer found club of pentrtion.
