Hello all! Got a promising spellcaster on the go and am looking for a bit of advice.
Background info...
I have a level 34 female mist elven elementalist who hasn't even gotten to the point of descending the CoC to save/point and laugh at Khelly or go for Chaos Orbs (don't even have the Water Orb, let alone entered the ToEF yet) because I was initially exploring areas on the surface (Darkforge, Dwarven Graveyard, RotHK, Puppy Cave, Keethrax all done). She was precrowned with Perion's mithril plate armour and crowned neutral with the Ring of Immunity way back when. On exploring the Ice Queen's Domain she came across a fire dragon greater vault and picked up Far Slayer (woo!) and True Aim (double woo!) as well as killing all the dragons and the wyrm (woo for naturally gaining Frost Bolt and letting me train it up, hee!). This made her go up a ton of levels. She went down the Rift, nabbed a bunch of books in the Library but accidentally shot the Ghost Librarian with True Aim so the weird tome was out of the question (whoops!). Having done some careful training of stats with Garth and herbs, and tactical potential stat potion drinking, her stats currently look like this:
St: 33, Le: 25, Wi: 29, Dx: 29, To: 37, Ch: 14, Ap: 33, Ma: 38, Pe: 22
Early on in the game she found two books of Acid Ball, so she's got enough castings of that to last. She's level 10 in polearms and the Rune Covered Trident is an option in a couple of levels time.
Questions...
1. I'd like to try the Bug Temple, because I went over level 30 in the fire dragon greater vault so couldn't try the Minotaur Maze. I've never done the Bug Temple before. I probably wouldn't have done it if I had managed to finish the Library properly. Does my elementalist have a chance there, and if so, what should I be careful about?
2. Can she do the ToEF without issues? Seems silly to ask at level 34, but most of my characters usually try the ToEF at level 18-20 or so. At that level, my elementalist was weedy and didn't even have 100 HP yet. Now she has 266 HP, a killer Frost Bolt, mediocre Ice Ball and Invisibility and Teleportation on casting demand.
3. Should I drop down to, say, the Casino, THEN try the Bug Temple? Note that I haven't found an AoLS yet and I haven't descended down to meet Khelly, so part of me wonders if there's a possibility of finding an AoLS at the Bug Temple so I can grab some scrolls of corruption removal from Khelly because I messed up with the Ghost Librarian.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated :)
