Am I ready for the final dive?

[lochok]

This is related to the very-fortunately-blessed-with-wishes Ben (who I asked about on http://www.adom.de/forums/showthread.php/13543-Help-with-wishes/page1). Since that last discussion, he found another ring of djinni summoning which was promptly used to remove some corruptions. He's had both poison hands and mana battery twice now! The time has been so long because it was a promising character... and like Schrodingers cat - it had both won and and not won while he was still a save file, before it resolved by my playing.

I'm an Orcish Beastfighter.

In my years and years of playing, I've only made it to D50 once, when I died from over corruption. I'm really hoping that this is my first win. My question is - is this character ready for the final dive? Do you have any advice? Would you ensure I bring anything in particular? Should I be grinding more before attempting? (although, I don't know where - been to D48 and back)

Copied below are the important bits of the vlg. I also have 4 wishes remaining - one of which I intend on using on a wand of destruction for D50. I'm currently in very good graces with my diety (which was important in the Mana temple... I got down to 32 HP at one point!). I've got a fair bit of slaying ammo, and (too many) pick axes. I'm currently 36 (old, 22 years of unnatural aging added in). I did have some potions of longevity, but I ate a quickling lord before I knew the life shortening effects. I have still got 2 scrolls of corruption removal, which I intend on using before the final push. I'd prefer to have at least one wish left in case I need it on D50.

I'm happy to answer any questions. This has been a really long time coming.

Judging from your stats and equipment, you should be fine.

[Arbot]

I hate to say it but with your DV/PV I don't see you having a chance, unless you can kill all of the ghost kings at range. Even then unless you can do it extremely sneakily with a wand of destruction its going to be tough, the wmopc will slow you and you are going to face massive corruption from them alone. If you are playing a recent version snow queens quests if you haven't done them are an option to get some better gear as well as the random caves spawned around the map BDC will probably be too dangerous even if you are immune to lightning.

One good thing is you'll get some free bonuses from leveling up if you can kill some balors on D50, it isn't hopeless if you dive now but it won't be easy

[JellySlayer]

Honestly, I think your character looks a bit weak for the point in the game you're at. Your level is fine. Your stats are a bit on the low side, but not completely abnormal. 28 PV at this point is very low, even counting that you don't have a shield. I'd be seriously thinking about at least checking the Casino or some (greater) vaults you've cleared for some eternium boots/armor (dragon scale is fine too)/girdle, and maybe a cloak of protection. I think you should be able to get 10-12 more PV without too much difficulty. Getting 20 more PV would be great.

Note that with you can potentially clear D:50 with very minimal combat and just use your WoD with the spoiler below.

Sneaky trick spoiler:

You can change places with any monster using your level 32 class power. So you can just swap with all monsters on coward mode to the lever (even wielding shields), use the WoD, then teleport to the other side and repeat. With a bit of luck, invis and stealth, you can get a win without killing anything or activating most of the monsters. You can even get a victory without using the wand, just by activating the lever and leaving a couple chaos mutants milling on top of it so the balors can't access it. This is a somewhat anticlimactic way to win, but it is a win.

Note: I haven't tested this since 1.1.1. AFAIK it still works though.


[edit]Also, I'd save your SoCR for D:50 unless you happen upon a bad corruption. D:50 is very corrupting, so using them to clear relatively minor corruptions is not a good idea IMHO.

[yhal003]

You can spend your wishes on magical writing sets for scrolls of protection and use that on your crown of regeneration and cloak, and girdle of giant strength. Getting rune-covered trident and training thrown spears to use against ghosts and balors would be useful too.

the long and short of it is.....you cant mess with ghost lords in melle...not with a beastfighter....not with an orc! 1 thing you MUST wish for, is seven league boots...they are better than any other item (including artifacts) in this game....i think you shud do the wand of destruction ending here....but you must clear 1 room with the lever fully....the top 1 is easier.i recommend you go perma invis the whole d50 and use monster detection to scout for tension/threat rooms and avoid them like the plague! clear the top room. use missiles/wands against ghostlords, then swap places in bottom room...handle lever, use /odestruction, tp top lever, handle it use /odestruction, tp stairs....ggwp. i think dv/pv btw is over rated (except in the early game)...all you need is a bit of luck..

[LexyBoy]

You look like you're trying to play too "clean", having burned through most of Khelly's scrolls already. Most corruptions can be lived with or turned to your advantage - save removal for baddies like stiff muscles or mana battery.

I've only just started playing beastfighters so don't know what they look like late on. It looks like you're doing plenty of damage, especially with the high crit chance, though I agree DV/PV is low. What tactics is that on? Surely there must be some better armour about? OTOH you'll quickly stock up with eternium in D:50; since you have double regen and plenty of healing you could probably manage until you upgrade. Rune covered trident will help (if you can get it as chaotic?).

I disagree with SLBs - he's a level >18 beastfighter so has base movement of 700, better than SLBs already, and with the stilts corruption it's 525. Speed is what's going to help - it should be ~140 base at this point. I'd use the boots of speed in preference to the adamantium, and do anything else possible to help. Both of these will allow ranged attacks on ghosties. BTW, I don't think quickling lords decrease lifespan - you don't get the "life fast, die young" message you do with queens/kings.

My wish list would be:
- SoCR
- GoGS
- !oLongevity or \oDestruction (depending on how you fancy your chances when you start the fight).
- keep for emergency

However, wait to wish and use ?oProtection/Defense till you're on D:50 as uselessness might give you something nice (you'll probably get Vanquisher or Executor though). Would be annoying to pimp your leather cloak then get Cloak of Oman.

7lb stack completely with everything. he can be looking at a movement energy cost of 400 or something stupid! Also i just realised your To is 28!!! what in the absolute fuck??? i have had beastfighters who start with To 28..im not e1 exaggerating! my current wizard has a To of 30! i think you need to learn herb training. morgia is your friend! neways i think you are still f9 with the strategy i just mentioned..you can crush nething to pieces except balors, and ghost lords can be lethal to you....just keep this in mind and good luck as always! also if you want to play completely safe i think get lvl 36 and RCT which is a d50 slayer as i like to put it! it slays almost everything on d50 esp your nemesis....the balors and ghost lords! you might want to train it a bit...again your Dx is 19....use non-cursed moss 2 times everytime you get a Dx increase till it is 25....then with BoW it will b 33 and RCT will reliably return when thrown.

[LexyBoy]

400 versus 500 isn't going to make much difference. Especially since the amount of monsters on D:50 means you can't simply retreat & shoot all the time. Speed OTOH is always a benefit - even if you're just staying on the spot you get 50% more damage output at 150 speed than at 100.

Toughness is certainly low - though non-trivial to increase. Minotaur maze would have been a good option but it's too late now. Equip crown of science and hunt swamp hydras, pay Garth ludicrous amounts or wish for !oTo could be used.

Dx should be raised with moss, as a beastie the potential should be pretty good. Practising with the trident will also train it (Dx increases the chance to catch, not for it to return, I think). I find that stats increase quickly on D:50, more than I'd expect from the levelling alone.

[AlterAsc]

28 To is perfectly fine. It's higher then herbs allow you to get anyway. If you don't do quests that give PoGA then without extensive farming getting it higher is hard.
Unmodified stats of my DE Beastfighter that entered D50 at lvl34 and absolutely crushed everyone there into dust leaving at lvl46 and ending the game:
St:25 Le:13 Wi:20 Dx:31 To:31 Ch: 8 Ap:21 Ma:21 Pe:20
And even with this To he ended with 851 hp. As if more is needed.
Although i also had rotmc and preserver. But OP doesn't need to kill everything.

[JellySlayer]

I agree with LexyBoy about the 7lbs. Complete waste of a wish at this point in the game with this sort of character. Eternium boots would be better for the extra PV.

[lochok]

Yeah - it wasn't my intention to kill everything. I was going to lean more towards some class power swapping to get the lever, and destroy.

My DV/PV was affected by tactics - I was on aggressive. It is 59/28 on Normal, with +97 bonus to hit/1d23+63 dmg melee.

Thanks for the counsel - it does make me somewhat nervous (although, I would have been beforehand anyway).

Re stats - I was going to down the boost stats potions before starting/during D50. I'm not sure what else I can increase at this stage. I think my toughness may have been effected in the mana temple.

Re the clean run - it wasn't my intention! Unfortunately, too much was lost to the poison hands and mana hands for me to keep them. Particularly when poison showed up twice. I do actually have 2 more scrolls of removal (not shown) that were being kept safe in the ogre caves. I've been very nervous about corruption - my only other D50er a few years back ended up being turned.

I'll give it some further consideration.

[LexyBoy]

In my first win was very paranoid about corruption on D:50 - to the point where I scummed for about 30 game days in the big room for a wish. At long last I got it, got 4 SoCRs and nervously proceeded. I only used one or two of these and a couple of PoCC during the course of totally clearing D:50, and could have used less (ended up with maybe 8-10 corruptions out of max 18). I was L+ rather than C-, but even so with your 4 plus wishes in hand I don't see corruption being a problem. Staying alive is the main concern - I was surprised at how much tougher the monsters are there than the levels above. Plenty of healing + staying away from the ghosts should do the trick.

I don't get the hating on poison hands myself, it's one of my favourites and I invariably keep it - it is one of those which tends to pop up early I find. Nothing like taking on vaults and being spammed with [+65815xp] messages as monsters snuff it out of sight. (Nearly) unlimited poison for missiles is also nice.

In older versions thick gauntlets were annoyingly rare but they're plentiful now. If you can't remember to swap when dropping/picking stuff, just keep them on except for boss fights.

Anyway, good luck!

[lochok]

I went to Darkforge to get me some intrinsic invisibility. Unfortunately, I also got aged by a pool to very old. So - next wish has been used on Potions of Youth. Combined, I'm back to being young. As such, stats aren't quite as awful: St:28 Le:10 Wi:14 Dx:29 To:32 Ch:13 Ap: 9 Ma:12 Pe:23. I've still got one left too.

Is the RCT effective without much training in it? My bows and crossbows are really highly trained. Or, should I not worry so much about the 90 days a grind a bit with it?

[JellySlayer]

RCT has very nice to-hit as a missile. It should be fine with minimal training.

[lochok]

So - Kitty's dead, and Blup's satisfied.

I've got 344944 xp until l 36 (and the runed spear) - but I've cleared the entirety of the CoC for big things. Any suggestions of where to grind?

[JellySlayer]

Blue dragon caves?

[LexyBoy]

Bear in mind that it can be quite a while before you get it - I've been L37 or higher before. The messenger seems to enjoy waiting for an amusing time to pop up. Last time I got it I was stumbling around confused trying to whack Nurgles in the middle of the Mana Temple when suddenly "OHAI! I haz pointy stick for you!"

BDC is a good bet, won't be long before a GM or titan shows up (top 2 levels), and the wyrms are worth decent xp too - plus you'll get loot. Leave your SoCRs and other valuables on the staircase though.

[lochok]

So damned close. Master Lich, Earth Temple, Confusion, Ancient Altar.

YASD.

[plllizzz9]

God bless Morgia :D

well, better luck next time. my last final diver was killed by a fatal crash not long after getting the cat ring and \oWishing (3 charges)
