Now I just need to know if there's a cheesy strategy you pro players use when you want an item in particular.
Now, there are a few small cheats available, not gamebreaking but I've discovered two and decided not to use them (both involve save scumming).
But usually for me I'd say it's more of using the rng to it's favour, as an example, current merchant went out of smc because of tension room so no blanket ie a lot of early game issues I normally don't get.
Traps drenching and rusting stuff, rivers are a pain etc.
So think more of it as preparation of the character and how much you want to prepare before next task.
And the very best players know what preparation they also can skip and don't over prepare.
Minor spoily stuff (hrm is there a spoiler tag avail I'll shove some blank lines in for now?):
Code:
A common strat is to do animated forest (thrundarrs second quest) before pyramid since almost any crap character can do it with the wand you get.
But if you on the rare occation can stomp it before going to dwarf town why not.
Are you able to do darkforge w/o ring of ice and do you know what you need for that to work, if not, do you know how/where to get one,if not, do you want to grind somewhere for one?
