(Irritatingly undermined by http://www.adom.de/forums/project.php?issueid=4240 - of which I was not aware when I started the game, and didn't realise until I got high enough level to spam blasts... That said I was a 90% melee character)

Went DE for Alertness & Find Weakness, Raven to get the RCT, and answered questions for better ST and TO (starting maxes were around 16 and 14 respectively I think). Crowned really early with Robes of Resistance (really could not be bothered with an ultra!) and Fire Immunity (yay!). Only level 39 after winning... is there enough XP in the game right now? I really feel like most characters should hit L50 in time for their L50 class power to be somehow relevant to the game.

Spent a while with my starting quarterstaff, then rotated through a few weapons using the best I could find at any time. Weapon selection sucked until the RCT; completed Darkforge with Big Punch and a Medium Crystal Shield, and there was nothing good in the weapons room. Eventually found Serpent's Bite in the guaranteed vault (giants) in frost giant jarl caves, plus Lust for Glory which is amazing (fantastic resistances, didn't have to worry about anything after that). Titans are an amazing addition to Giant vaults, they actually feel like a challenge now, and the XP is great.

Gave up on Khelly after draining pools then found a RoDS just below him, obviously. Found another in the Casino. Wished for Scrolls of Chaos Resistance on D:50 and a wand of destruction to win. Beat up most of the D:50 monsters in melee, plus I had teleportis from a pool plus a wand and class control which helped jump to the levers. Fisty was utterly terrifying, don't think I've ever tried to melee him before and I'm not going to do that again in a hurry! I'm guessing you'd need well-smithed gear and preferably L50 and a really high weapon skill, plus a great slaying weapon.

Biggest use of mindcraft was confusing Titans and greater mental blasting through walls in the mana temple to take out the pp-draining eyes, so I could have mana for telekinetic blasts. Corruption from touching a few chaos monsters repeatedly didn't seem too bad, I don't think I even gained a single corruption from it.

Overall, fun game. Just wish it wasn't undermined by that bug... I'm pretty sure I'd still have won, but it feels much less satisfying like this!

Those are some monster stats at the end, especially for a mindcrafter. Was that from training with Garth? Or did you chug a ton of potions?

Some Garth (only up to about 15s though), some herbs, like 6 poga dropped, lots of giant and Titan corpses with 2 giant vaults. DX and LE started very low with high potentials.
