First win after 8 years playing!

YEIY!!! After 8 years this is my first YAVP!!
I am sure that for most of the expert players in this forum my game would have been on the boring side, but for me it was great. The RNG did me a lot of favors...
I was an orc barbarian, born under the candle and a two headed calf was born the same day too. In order to get to neutral alignment (and learn healing) I tried (and failed) to save the puppy and brought the raider lord to justice, but still no luck. I headed to the CoC and found a neutral altar in the second level. Got crowned with fire immunity and Vanquisher! (I think that did the game for me). After farming for a while in the big room I got postcrowned with IronFist, that is not so great but useful still.
I headed down the caverns, did not bother to save Khelly (I had no wishes in this game), clear the water temple with no problems. The fire tower was surprisingly smooth too, I prepared by doing the ice queen quests to get potions of cure corruption, I disabled the ACW and after three shots it was down. I got two surges of power, the boots of divine messenger (nice) and whilrwhind (first time, surprisingly powerful but no demon slaying ammo so I used it mostly for anything not too dangerous).
The first corruption was thrive in the flesh of order (thanks RNG), then I got poison hands, I removed that immediately, then I got thin and nimble, very light, and teleportitis (I never farmed for blink dogs but still found one that gave me a corpse so no problem here).
There were a couple of tense moments. First an undead greater vault, I was foolish enough to try to clean it and after two hits from a ghost lord I almost died but managed to run away (I guess that many of the artifacts were there as I never saw them). Then a doppelganger king managed to get me confused and lowered my health to 50HP, I had to use my wands to get rid of him.
Also, the air temple was scary, the summoner was easy to kill but before he died he summon to greater karmic wyrms who almost got me killed, I had to run away in the hope that I would be able to kill them on the way back (that meant no more potions of cure corruption from Guth'Alak), which I did with no problem. Luckily, the cat lord was nowhere near the stairs (I killed cats as if there was no tomorrow). I should also mention that I never got the High Mountain Village as a doppelganger appeared in the small cave and hit me too hard, I just ran away and never looked back.
My previous orc barbarian died in the Mana Temple. This time around it was close too, when trying to lure the mage out, he teleported right to the door, which meant having to fight him while being surrounded by chaos servants. I had to use the water orb to heal, it gain me whispers of chaos (not terrible).
D50 was straight forward but long, I got corrupted a lot, first rage (not bad), then corrupting attack (I removed it immediately), then bronze bones (kept it), then ice blood (removed), then mana battery (removed), unholy aura (kept), and last bulging craneon (kept). I had to kill all the balors, Fistanarius was tough as almost all of my demon and humanoid ammo was gone but with enough patience he fell. I also summoned three greater elementals to help me clear it (through scrolls), one of them became uninterested in me because of the unholy aura, the other became aggressive and killed the only friendly one. Another lucky break was that I never had to fight a moloch. I found one that was generated friendly, I chatted to him and he replied "Uh?" :)
Given that this was my first win, I did not wanted to risk it. On the way up I ignored everything but I did stop to kill the black unicorn to get all corruption removed and then left ancardia.
I think the RNG was very helpful this time around, I remember thinking it was impossible to beat ADOM without any exploit, now I know its possible! :)
Next I am going for an ultra ending... I still believe those are impossible :)

Congrats. I'm amazed you managed to do it with only 26 pv and didn't find any better equipment than what you were wearing. Beating the game in a clean robe, that's like a challenge mode they would think up here.

Thanks! You are actually right, I did not notice I never changed my armor back! I totally went for the black unicorn wearing a clean robe :).
In general though, I did suffer from low DV and PV during the whole game, but I did used an eternium plate mail for the lower levels of the CoC (I think I got it in a greater vault). In D50 I changed to the clean robe in order to increase my appearance in hopes of slowing the corruption a little bit. Nearing the end (Fistanarius and some other balors still alive) I had no means of removing corruption any more and was heavily depending on a wand of teleportation when the balors surrounded me, I definitely did not want to get mana battery or something nasty so I pumped my beauty score :) and hit them from afar.
I should have been more careful and put the platemail back once the gate was closed.

First of all, congratulations! Winning the first time is always awesome :D Always be careful on the way back indeed... I once almost died to an extremely experienced ancient fire dragon (after clearing 2 dragon vaults they were way tougher than balors).

Got crowned with fire immunity and Vanquisher! (I think that did the game for me). After farming for a while in the big room I got postcrowned with IronFist, that is not so great but useful still.

Stopped reading there... Ironfist is truly awesome! Yes, it's not as good as Vanquisher on a Barbarian (since it's not a weapon) but an indestructible gauntlet with 7 strength and 3 PV is far from 'not so great but useful still'. It's hard to think of artifacts that would be better on your barbarian once you already got Vanquisher! The combo of them would be good enough to melee anything in the game including Fistanarius if you're careful about hp and use stepback tactics.

That little thing can take care of any moloch if you ever again are afraid of them. Again you need to use stepback tactics, which against moloch is extremely easy if you have some space to maneuver.

To increase your chances of winning games, try to focus more on speed on melee fighters. Don't be burdened on D50 by carrying heaps of rocks around and other crap around. Also take all of the speed talents. I think 'very careful' works only when fighting defensively, which as a barbarian you just shouldn't. 'Healthy' also isn't particularly strong if you got healing. Once you got 130ish speed you can step back a few times and then get a 'free' hit in against tough guys like Balors (takes some practice but saves a lot of corruption on D50).

Thanks!
You are right, it came out as if I don't like Ironfist, they are really great as a postcrowning gift. In my previous game I had very bad luck in gifts so I guess the RNG was trying to make out for that :)
I did have a phase dagger and an adamantium halberd of penetration, I am sure that would have taken the molochs out too. My point was that I got really lucky in the game in general, with a few exceptions that I mentioned.
Thanks for the recommendation on talents, I guess I was playing very conservatively as I did fight in very defensive when I found ancient dragons and such.
I am planning on starting an archer now, I felt that when things get nasty, fighting with missiles is best. Should I go with speed in that case too? Or would DV make more sense?
Thanks again!

Congrats!! Winning with an Orc is no easy task, dying of old age is a huge risk ! Nice work. What will be your next race/combo to play? :)

Congrats, especially finishing with such a low experience level. My first three wins were all at level 50 fairly swiftly on tackling D50. Can't think of much better than Ironfist for this char, probably Preserver or maybe the artifact ammo.

Maybe pay a bit more attention to your equipment- you could have gone for the diadem of beauty if you wanted Ap, and those rings aren't great- I'd go for two slaying or slaying and speed. I don't know how big an effect appearance has on corruption, but I'd expect that avoiding one balor hit is a lot better than the reduction in background corruption.

Agree on speed- unless you really rely on xp it really helps. My last win, a ranger, had 205 speed by D50 and killed everything easily in melee including cat lord, ASB and balors. Being that fast basically doubles your damage output as well as making it easy to retreat. Very good for archers. Personally I rate poison hands as one of the best corruptions, especially early on. Thick gauntlets are now much more common, and being able to pump enemies with unlimited poison is awesome.
