    Default Need advice on CK playthrough

    Drake CK 21lvl, how to beat ToEF? No ring of ice, no fireproof blanket, no literacy.

    As a drake you gain incredible speed, so as long as you have a way to deal with the damage you should be okay.
    Do you have any source of regeneration? Having Immune to Pain helps a lot as well, as does a high First Aid skill. If you are lacking in such tools, you might need to rely on healing with prayers and the water orb.

    As for items burning, you can wear higher metal items without any problem and iron items will usually survive as well, especially if they are blessed and if you have maximum luck. Make sure you are at good piety and wear the Ankh.

    Remember that huge stacks of items will survive in the tower with minimal damage as well. Like if you have a stack of 100 spenseweed, you won't lose too many of them.

    Not sure I really need to say this, but leave valuable stuff like SoCR at home.

    Now the big problem is that your digging tools burn. It is best to do a scouting run first, where you find out where the stairs are and how to get to the top the quickest. Afterwards you do the real run, where you bring as many digging tools as you can and run to the temple. Maybe even sacrifice your wand of teleportation to get there faster, if the stairs are far apart. Once you breached the temple walls, the rest is straightforward.

    If you lack digging tools, a good place to find more of them is Darkforge. Once you have killed most of the steel golems, dwarven chaos knights will start to spawn. Those often drop a pickaxe or a wand of digging.

    Didnt know about First Aid's usefulness. Will try grind for spensweed and pickaxes. What about pools is it worth trying some wish hunting?

    The biggest risk in pool sipping is that you might lose Teleport Control. That would make the Tower even harder..

    If you happen to have a spare blink dog corpse (sold to a store to preserve it), then you might want to go for it though.

    What do you hope to gain from a wish? Regeneration? Try ring dipping first in that case, and do it on a level where your rings might turn into either Regen rings or RoDS.

    Ring of ice would help more than blankets imo. You could always chaos alchemy logs until a blanket appears.

    Went pool sipping: aged a little bit - but no wish. Got few pickaxes, went back to Tower, all axes were burnt in no time, got poison hands corruption. Will try chaos alchemy and will hope to find Ring of Ice.
