    Default First win! Ratling Wizard closed the gate

    Finally managed to win after 15 years of playing. Before this I never managed to get more than 2 orbs.

    Found a pickaxe of devestation early and used it as my main weapon for the whole game, only switching in phase dagger.

    Crowning gift was Robes of Resistance.

    A companion Greater Fire Elemental helped me a lot, and also later a Greater Earth Elemental, before they both went crazy on temple levels and I had to wipe them out.

    Drank plenty of pools but didn't get any wishes.

    Apparently Sun's Messenger was generated but I didn't find it! Found True Aim arrow and used a +1 shortbow for the entire game.

    I made a bad mistake on an altar and got my whole inventory cursed at one point.

    The other major setback was poison dripping hands corruption, spent a lot of time looking for the heavy gloves. Couldn't find any corruption removal so I had to go do Ice Queen's quests which was very easy at level 30.

    Also my Willpower dropped to 1, I think because of babbling mouth corruption abusing the stat?

    So many corruptions I really thought I was about to lose in D:50

    Got achievement for winning without changing alignment.

    Grats!
    While wizards are strong, ratlings are not very good casters.
    Thats an impressive amount of corruptions including all of the worst ones (mana battery, corrupted hand, poison hands)
    Also, 30 divine interventions!

    Regarding poison hands I think I've read "thick gloves" are the ones supposed to help, but also recall trying it and they didnt help, maybe they help vs corrupted hands or I'm mixing things up, not sure....

    I was doing great with casting until my Willpower dropped to 1! Spent the entire game holding Water Orb and even resorted to using Amulet of Perseverance (+3 Wi) on the last level.

    You're right, its the Thick Gloves I meant. I did find them and also cured most of my corruptions after Ice Queen but they came back on D:50.

    I feel that your willpower issue is probably caused by casting from hp. This will abuse your Wi, To, and Ma stats.

    Congrats on your first win!
