Advice please

Playing a lawful HIgh Elf archer, lvl 15 atm. Found an L altar on PC6. Dragging monsters from PC5 to sac them. I have not yet generated any artifact, not even the si, i deliberately avoided entering too deep into CoC, just to avoid that.

Got already precrowned with Nature's Companion, also a wererat on PC5 kindly dropped SLB, which were immediately blessed and equipped, which is very cool for my archer. Right now i am saccing more mobs to get a second precrown and it is a lot more slower than the first one (well, i kinda knew that, but didn't figure out it is SO much slower).

So my question is: is it worth it to try another (that would be third) precrown? Or it is going to be too tedious? Also, if it is important, i am on 66st day already.

Also planning to generate dwarftown altar as L, but get to N to speak to the mystic to avoid getting that useless axe, than getting back to L and get crowned as a champion of Law.

So, what do you, veterans, think about this plan?

P.S. If it matters, i went through UD and there are no altars there, and also no altars on CoC till Arena.

And, um, one more thing. I found a pool on PC3. Should i drink it, since i have the altar nearby to remove doom, or should i keep it in case i need it later?

Personally, if I find an altar, I go for one precrown, if the altar is in PC:5, I go for 2 or very occasionally 3 precrowns.
In your case of having to drag monsters from PC:5 to PC:6, I don't think third precrown is an option, it would take prohibitively large amount of time for potentially zero gain if you get something useless.
You will already be somewhat hard-pressed to get crowned once you're eligible. With 3 procrowns, it might be impossible to crown without BDC or casino gold and I'm talking about 7 digit sums.
As soon as you get your second precrown done, skip the third, that is my advice. With 7LB you don't need to worry about day 66 as perceived time will dramatically slow down now.

You can sip the pool but if you get teleportitis, it will make it even more tedious to achieve second precrown. If that's not a problem then sip away, there's always the DfG if you need more pools.

Thank you very much Sire :).

Got Protector as second precrown. Going for the Pool then :).

[Dlightfull]

Sipped the pool, got Stun resistance (feel controlled it said) and a little bleeding and that's it :(.

With Nature's Companion and Protector there's no need for any :(s. Play smart and you have a winner on your hands.

AFAIK precrowns do not affect crowning cost. At least I haven't noticed any huge difference after 2 precrowns on PC:5 or in similar cases.

EDIT: In fact, crowning is not a prayer at all (probably just need a certain fixed level of piety), as it will not register towards the "divine interventions" counter in the final log. Pre/post-crownings will and probably their costs scale as for all other prayers.

[SirTheta]

Pre/post-crown scale triangularly like all prayers.

Crowning just requires the 100k piety and extreme alignment and is not affected by pre/post-crowning.

So, yes, what _Ln_ said :)

[Dlightfull]

I completed the Blup quest while being lvl 16 as a raven born char, but didn't receive any trident. When will it be delivered?

[SirTheta]

Just wait and gain a level or two - you'll receive it soon.

[Blasphemous]

Hmmm well then I was wrong, I always thought and felt from the point of view of the game that precrowns impact the piety cost of crowning. Nice to know they don't.

[gym21]

Precrowning screws up the amount of piety required to get the absolutely close, but not the piety required for a crowning. It's an annoying guessing game.

Hey, ya'll the folks trying to milk your deity for every last bit of bling. Git over it, and just save the world from Chaos. (or become it, whatevs)

The mighty and powerful High Elf Archer, which was one of the coolest char's i've played so far, since he was actually murdering everything he wished, was sacriiced to the dark gods of a dark orc, while trying to lure said orc to the chaotic altar in order to convert it. Stupid pressing of the wrong button results in a stupid death... :(

And i was at lvl 17, waiting for the lvl 18 to use the 4 fletchery sets i stashed.
