    Default Boar skull

    I bet this is fixed, I get a boar skull on most games.

    Again grinding my first ultra and nope, no boar skulls, days rushing past and up to 6 boars.

    Of course no dooming weapon or dooming ring.

    Is it worth the corruption cost running around with crown of science?

    Crown of science works fine for dooming. It doesn't corrupt, the only cost is the need to uncurse it to take it off.

    Well, pretty sure you know this, but it doesn't have the essence of chaos and someone correct me if I'm wrong here, you do take increase background corruption while doomed (x2, yes?) but that the overworld/wilderness don't have any background corruption so you'll be accumulating 2x0 = 0 corruption unless you don't have a means of taking it off afterwards. Then your simply running up against the 90 day limit which has that other thread open. Consensus seems to be that background corruption is less punishing now so no biggy if you cross that limit. You might have to pass the limit to get the circle to open anyway. And saving khelly will give you plenty of corruption removal.

    Also some new things will effect corruption.

    Yeah I spent 20 days for the first 6 I think and 4.5 days for the next 6 boars until I got a skull, also messed up with farmers in Terinyo but solved by getting one from hmw.
    Pretty close to 90 days now but no worries I think.

    My first Keriax kill, almost missed time but he was easy peasy, 7lb, stilt legs, slaying ammo, good range practice and 30+ dex ... didn't dare to eat him so I cooked him and amw and got both to druid.

    Casino done.

    Time to spank some lower coc
