This was a bit too grindy but...
A random character that I almost scrapped started out to find eternium 2h sword in smc.
I oneshot my way from there.
Did early quests, pyramid, dwarf quests, went for smith skill and caved out maybe 1/2-2/3 or ogre caves, R2,R3, tothk and on towards ice queen.
Had tons of knowledge crystals but no potential potions of learning.
FGJC - Lvl 16, yes slow exp despite cup.
First thing that happens, tension room of annihilators and I loose my 2h sword, almost quit again.
Used a lot of wands here.
Went back to get big punch, cleaned up and got GGV.
With shield and 1h mace starting at 1 it took awhile to get running again but I cleaned haggar and part of the ggv, the titan was too tough.
I did get an aols and bracers of war, burned most of my wands, booze and healing.
So I went and did R4, dug graveyards, saved khelly (aols from ggv) and dug lower graves.
Went back up, did toef, smithed, drank pogas, went down casino to buy what was available (nothing spectacular).
Then it was revenge time on the GGV, got rewarded with obsidian quarrel.
From here it was more or less a stroll, fire orb, weapon skills, boosted stats and good rings/amulets provided what I needed.
D45-46 had another ggv with scorched spear and robes of resistance, disregarding indestructable my smithed armour was better (got damaged later).
I skipped parts of UL caves since I was running low on corruption removal.
D49 gave me wyrmlance.
On d50 I realize I have no wands of destruction so I play ping pong with balors and then clean charge up some fireball wands and clean out the center chamber.
Despite some -10 pv from corruptions I'm about 85/60 on very aggressive.
Found my only rods on the way back up when I killed Kherab (also a few stat potions undrunk from d50).
Did unicorn quest to get rid of some 6 corruptions and left with yurri in tow.
Note below, chain of resilience lost atleast 3 pv also invis cloak was used in all lategame.
Often used free action instead of ankh.
Managed to not age a single year from ghosts.
Got archery and music from education, got courage on my way out.
