The next installment in my ongoing plan to win once with every class was Beastgirl, the Candle-born Dark Elf Beastfighter, won, for the first time for me, on the server. I've never really played much with beastfighters because I really actually like using weapons quite a bit, but found this to be a relatively relaxed game with a surprisingly newbie-friendly class. Beastgirl started off with some of the usual things, finding a blanket, killing a raider lord, then dove through the UD (finding a few altars and vaults along the way, but no herbs). She then hit the CoC, and spent a huge amount of time in the Big Room, which naturally generated 5 2x2 herb squares covering every herb except spenseweed, plus had a huge endlessly growing patch occupying the centre of the room. I scummed my stats a bit there and saved up enough stoma for a precrown (although I've heard beastfighters aren't good precrowners because the amount of junk is very large) and ended up with Robes of Resistance--very nice. I wore those for the entire game from that point on. Did some questing in Dwarftown. Cleared the Pyramid, Griffyard, and Druid Dungeon (in that order). Tried to pool sip for a wish to save Khelly, but didn't end up with one (I did get -death though). Did High Kings, then hit the ToEF.

ToEF was relatively easy, despite going in at only level 18. Going in I had a crown of fire and a ring of ice, plus robes of resistance giving me an absolutely massive To score. I ascended quickly, dug in, and pulled the ACW out. Hit him with blindness, then thrashed him to death in melee. Picked up (and immediately removed) mana battery. Killed Khelly, dove through water temple, banshee. Greater undead vault on D:27 with three artifacts--two armors and a weapon. The armors, I was able to deduce (with help from sorear) were Ironfist and Crown of Leadership. The weapon I didn't care about, but I'm pretty sure ended up being Skullcrusher. There was only one emperor lich there, so I figured I could probably :s and/or teleport raid it once I was sufficiently leveled. I never did end up going back though. Killed one eternal guardian for experience, did the Casino (ring of immunity and AoLS bought, among other junk). Got crowned with bracers of war. Paralysed and killed the cat lord. Cleared Air Temple, dove to UL and killed the AKW, did the Mana Temple. Second greater undead vault in D:43ish, which only had two weapons, and I ignored completely. Mana wasn't too bad: I hit level 32 from the AKW, which let my switch places with opponents. I used this to move through the crowd and assassinate most of the Chaos Wizards. This allow me to clear out most of the others without any more summoning, and then I popped the Chaos Archmage with a few humanoid slayers after wasting a dozen charges of paralysis on him. Cleared Earth, then figured I might as well just go finish the game. Dove to D:50, and ended up :switching my way through most of the crowd there. Killed a few balors, and left a chaos mutant on one lever and a summoned greater earth elemental on the other, leaving it at that.

This was my lowest turncount ever (at a not-too-impressive 63151), and was also one of the characters that had the least problems with corruption I can ever remember. I used the one PoCC to clear mana battery early on, and never used any others, nor, for that matter, did I even bother to pick up any SoCRs. I think I unicorn cleansed at the end of the game without about six corruptions. [edit]I may have actually used a second PoCC clearing unholy aura at some point now that I think about it...


The classes that remain now are: Fighter, Ranger, Bard (lost my bard to Andor Drakon :( ), Healer, Weaponsmith, Mindcrafter, Barbarian, Necromancer, Elementalist.

Robes of resistance for the precrown and bracers of war for the crown? I'm sick with envy. :p

Seriously though, nice story and win.

That is very nice Jelly. I know every time I've ever managed to get Bracers of War it's been a win for me. Those things are sickeningly nice. It's a shame you didn't go back for Ironfist and the Crown of Leadership in the first vault though. Ironfist is another great item for an otherwise "ok" slot. (Not as great as filling Bracers with the BoW though...)

Good luck on the rest of the series. For some reason, it reminds me of the 7x7 a guy did in Diablo II (same concept as yours, win with every class, although this guy took every single diablo II class and won about 7-8 times with each, doing different builds, throughout normal, nightmare, and hell, and always doing Hardcore. Was insane.)

The Robes of Resistance were actually the really lucky part. There's only a handful of precrowning gifts that are even remotely useful for beastfighters; even getting a normally good artifact like Executor is a real slap in the face since for all its powers and abilities, it still does no damage for you. On the other hand, Beastfighters have an incredible set of crowning gifts: BoW, Nature's Companion, Boots of Divine Messenger, Cloak of Oman and Preserver... you really can't go wrong there.

Yes, I was aware of that Jelly. All crowning beastfighter crowning gifts are very good, one of the things the class has going for them.

At the same time however, bracers of war is the one that I would value most of them all. Also, after already getting robes of resistance it would have been somewhat less great to get nature's companion. ;)
