    Default Fireproof blanket grind.

    My nice darkelf buddy was well ready for toef but alas the rare issue of no fireproof blanket.

    thrundarr doesnt give fire blanket to rangers
    none of the random dungeons provided one (havent done crumbling)
    cleared tothk and fgjc and outer part of the fgjc GUV
    cleared the ice queen mini area with a gazillion ice statues
    used potion of exchange on stack o 5 bandages and 3 rings
    dug lich graves in upper graveyard

    options left
    a. grind somewhere for blanket,wish,potions of exchange, where?
    b. let khelly die and search until wall of fire incl lower graves.
    c. do toef with mostly empty inventory (Id rather not)
    d. clear inner part of GUV w/o mental stability vs 10emp liches (yelp)
    e. crumbling
    f. grind id lvl1

    not an option
    bug temple, not enough deaths on this computer/install yet
    chaos alchemy, sacced moonblade

    any advice or recommendations?

    Man up and do c.
    So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
    (after 15 I stopped counting...)

    If you don't mind getting an alignment drop, do Kherab quests and get the shield.
    It can be used in place of the moon sickle for chaos alchemy and is also a nice source of fire immunity for the tower.
    Immunity to an element somewhat decreases the item destruction rate so even without the blanket, the shield might be helpful.

    b or c, your choice

    b, because you've already done a tonne of grinding, and no wish / AoLS yet. You want to grind forever?
    or
    c, because try something new!

    Letting Khelly die is a good idea. You don't need to save him unless you're doing an ultra. The water orb is a big help because of the instant heals, and +10 willpower helps against the confusing attacks from the ACW.

    Doesn't the dwarven mystic have a guaranteed ring of ice nowadays? Or did you meet him as L and got Rolf's Axe?

    What class are you playing? Could you post a character dump?

    yeah ring of ice isnt an issue its the blanket, I dont want all my inventory to burn up.
    I will probably try a risky no inventory run, I've got a decent plan.

    A ring of ice protects your inventory as well as your worn equipment.
