    1) Stop abusing bugs
    2) Stop arguing in threads, until my post is the last post, because nobody wants to continue the fruitless debacle
    3) Buy the steam version at last

    As soon as new artifacts are introduced, do lots of precrowns to find them, but stay away from wiki etc. and only discover their powers ingame.

    Fuck it, I might have no control over my bladder at that point.
    Can you introduce adult diapers to ADoM? That would be true roleplaying in ~50 years, just in time to start browsing through RFEs with prio 7 and lower.

    For 1 and 5, I have now Dwayne the mist elven mindcrafter. Can't packrat too much, with the base strength so low.
    Now at 23rd level, and looking good except that dwarftown hates me. Dumb kid got in the way of my clean shot at the daemon.

    Any hints at a normal win for a mindcrafter?

    Ooh, did you get the super staff (staff of creation?) I got it once with a ME mindcrafter and it was pretty awesome blowing minds up GTB and mind shield got pretty awesome too.

    Anyhoo, only recommendation is to practice book casting fairly often so you can improve your mana to insane levels, although at lvl 23 I'd suspect you are about to tackle fire tower, so training time is limited.

    I am going to practice the bookcasting soon, I think. I was afraid of casting too much.
    And yes, got the staff. I am constantly afraid of the corruption from using mindcraft on chaos folks though.

    Lol, ok mindcrafters have a 0% chance of learning spells, so you need to get your knowledge from wands of wonder in order to book cast.

    Also, with a mindcrafters' melee ability you can get by without having to melt chaos creatures all the time, a few times here and there isn't going to corrupt you too much.

    1. Don't forget you have confusion blast, mental shield, and eyes of the mind.
    2. Don't use damaging mindcraft when you don't need to. Get some weapon training instead.


    Although, if you can make it to level 23 alright, you probably don't need advice

    With 99 learning you've got a shot at learning light. With 99 learning and every bonus to book learning, you've got a shot at learning frost bolt. As a bonus, you will end up casting some earthquakes and teleports along the way . But yes, impractical for normal games.

    Good to know, re 99 learning. 1/3 of the way there.

    On the positive side, I managed to Wand of Wonder an Ice Ball, and find a book for it too. Make the Ring of the High King a bit easier to get to.

    Plus, managed to clear out the Frost Caverns too, so things are looking fancy.
