    Default ADOM Newcomer - First Victory (Gnome Monk)

    Hey, all! I was recently introduced to ADOM a few months ago by someone who has played it off and on for the past 10 or so years and immediately fell in love with its complexity and initial difficulty. After losing a few dozen characters learning the mechanics of the game, I rolled up a Gnome Monk and was able to close the Chaos Gate and leave the Drakalor Chain corruption-free. Somewhat surprisingly, this ended up being a Plutonium Man (Kill 95% on non-unique monster roster) run and had a couple of bizarre circumstances, like this floor filled with about 2 dozen Ki-Rins (attached below). Overall, the game went pretty smoothly without any real difficulties after the first few levels. Stand by for the obligatory wall of text chronicling my journey!



    Anywho, here's the victory dump:

    You played for 23 hours, 19 minutes and 24 seconds.
    I received the Iron Crown of Havlor as my crowning artifact in my late teen levels. Amulet of life saving was from a wish after getting quite spooked by the Mana Temple orb guardian. Only saw one pair of Seven League Boots all game, and they dropped right in front of the Chaos Portal on my way out. I upgraded shields a few times, but used the same weapon for about 25 levels, and never really had anything nice for bracer / cloak / belt / boots, so indulged in some minor smithing. Most fights consisted of softening targets up from range with the Rune Covered Trident or Rolf's Companion (2x returning weapons was amazing) and/or bashing faces in melee. Unfamiliar monsters (everything past DL 20 or so) got a degree of kiting with absurd Monk movement speed to avoid nasty status / corrupting attacks and learn their behavior.

    While 30 artifacts were generated during this run... I didn't actually see a lot of them. I have huge treasure hoarding tendencies, and picked up damn near everything that dropped as I went (especially once I had the Orb of Fire and found a book of Strength of Atlas) so I was rather surprised that so many slipped past me. While some of these really wouldn't have made a difference, several of them would have been very nice additions to my gear. I never laid eyes on the Cat's Claw, Trusted One, Far Slayer, Crown of Leadership, or Nature's Friend but I suspect some of these appeared in my greater vaults that I couldn't seem to locate artifacts in. I don't know the layout of Darkforge, so I never grabbed the Crown of Science. I stepped foot in the Gremlin Cave but never explored it, so didn't receive the Phial of Caladriel. I really only ended up using the guaranteed artifacts and my crowning gift. I supposed everyone's mileage varies when it comes to random artifacts, but I barely touched mine despite there being quite a few of them.
