    Default so writing scolls of chaos resistance can kill you... (failed ULE ending)

    OMG if only I had knew, I didn't even need those scrolls. I made +/- 12 scrolls then it killed me. I was using an unblessed magic writing set (I don't know if that matters)

    This guy had everything ready for ULE: the trident, medal and crown of chaos, all orbs, 160 + speed. Below you can see all artifacts that where generated. I had all except skullcrusher, must have missed that one somewhere. I had lightning and acid immunity and was going to get fire immunity when I got crowned. I had plenty of slaying ammo. My melee attacks did over 100 dmg on berserk mode. The only thing that I felt was missing was a trip to the quickling tree.

    I was just training dex up after getting the moloch armor. I wanted some more scrolls of defense to make the armor better because I was thinking of keeping and using it. I readied my magic writing sets. Then I decided that it would be better to make allot of scrolls of chaos resistance, just in case I got to corrupted on the chaos plane. Looks like it was a bad idea :/.

    You should definitely check out the 'ways to die' thread
    we started a while back. There are over 100 and counting,
    and yes, that was one of them : ) At least you will never
    pool sip while deaf and low on HP's again.
    I use polemarms when laying adom.

    It matters. A blessed blank scroll will turn into a blessed whatever-scroll once you finish writing it. A blessed writing set will greatly reduce penalties. A wizard who uses a blessed writing set, doesnt lose even one mana point when writing a SoCR. And no HP is drained either, I think.

    Default That's a nice girdle!

    How exactly do you upgrade your girdle?

    Also, you sure had some amazing stats in 184 days. What's the trick to doing it so fast?

    Scrolls of defense and protection can buff any non-artifact wearable.

    As for the stats I can't answer what method (s)he used, there's a hundred ways to get stats high quick. 184 days is not a short time by any stretch.

    24 SoCR is pretty excessive, especially for a ULE. If you have enough to clear all your corruptions (or have unicorn available), plus maybe 2-3 more for fighting through D50, that's all you need. I don't think I've ever gone through the ~18 you just playing through normally. If you're taking so much corruption on the Chaos Plane that you need that many SoCR, you're probably not strong enough to kill AR anyway.
    Any time a player finds Executor and fails to use it, the RNG kills a cute dog.

    Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Monk, and ULE Priest down.

    How many SoCR are need for the final dive in a ULE? UNE? UCE? Normal chaos god?

    Only completed ULE and UNE, although the UNE I completed was with a beastfighter who took ages to slay aNdY. The difference is pretty spectacular. Crowned L+, if you clear your corruption with the U, then you probably need 5 to 7 SoCR at most, and a few PoCC for fine tuning your corruptions, IF you have efficient way of slaying him.

    For UNE and UCE, you are entering the Choas plane already extremely corrupted, and perhaps you don't have a brilliant way to kill AnDy, then you really want enough SoCR to clear all corruption 1.5 times to be totally safe, call it 15-20...

    Certainly with my UNE beastfighter, punching then shooting him took a really long time... I don't remember how many SoCR I burned up though...

    I didn't have any corruption problems when I did my ULE. It looks like UNE might be a fair bit harder.
