My first win (yes, it's a GE wizard, I feel dirty)

[Delta]

It's been more than 12 years since the first time a friend told me about ADOM. The day after, I downloaded it, tried it out, about an hour later I gave up in frustration. But for whatever reason, every couple months, every couple years, I'd get it out again, give it a try. I spoiled myself to oblivion reading this forum than the guidebook, I've had some characters getting far but never managed to really pull the trigger.

This time, I did it. Yes, it's just a normal ending with a GE wizard, probably the lamest thing you can do, but still... well, it's been a long 12 years and I feel proud, even if I used the "easy" mode (if ADOM has such a thing as an "easy" mode ;) ) Although I gotta admit... in the end when I found a ring of djinni summoning somewhere in the Unreal caves I just used to it wish for greater molochs to put me from level 38 up to 50... so I guess I could call it a rather powerful character

Now on to my first ultra ending... maybe it'll only take me 10 years this time?

Congrats! And well done being so persistent :) Hopefully you'll have less of a wait till your next victory...

[vogonpoet]

Good job - nice fast win with just 62 in-game days - beats my first win (also a Gelf Wizzy of course) by about a year I think :)

I found seven league boots sometime while ID stairhopping for spellbooks around level 6 or 7, and a blink dog corpse not that long after, that combined with almost limitless castings of Teleport... you can see how that helps to keep the ingame time down.

congrats. :D
