I always use a wand or scroll of item detection as soon as I come down the stairs into a level with a greater vault. That way I know what artifact/artifacts I'm looking for and if they'll be worth...
now that part IS pretty fun...
My weight was also above 3000 so knowing that wouldn't have saved me.
Gogo was a 20th level Drakeling fighter, an extremely promising character who had received 3 weapons of devastation (including an adamantium sword of devastation) and found two rings of Djinni...
I just had two characters in a row successfully close the gate and leave the Drakalor Chain. When I say two characters in a row I want to emphasize that there were 0 characters generated or played...
Well I've just finished my run at the scavenger hunt, and the below list is the combined efforts of Feldspar the dwarven paladin, Sha Nay Nay the Orcish wizard (random), and Rhyolite the Dwarven bard
This sounds great... I've been playing a lot of these partial-completion challenges with a friend recently and am really looking forward to this one.
-start more flaming threads
-turn any forum thread into flame ring
for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
-Mitres' god after he makes a sacrifice on another god's altar
I stand corrected
a small but I believe worthwhile note is that gaining fire resistance is now considerably more difficult.
Fire beetles only provide a 50% chance of receiving the resistance and Fire Lizards give a...
just to share the converse side of this thread's insane luck, I'm currently playing a grey elf wizard named Adolf. He is the first character I've made in a long, long time that wasn't [f]ate decided,...
there has been a fairly extensive discussion about the xp curve in the "tackling the new quests and maps for ADOM" thread stickied at the top of the page. The general consensus is that some of the...
really says it all...
and is the point of the thread...
seems like the lower CoC could use a high exp quest... just using xp "pinatas" as a quest reward for a few short but dangerous late game...
Well actually he did reach level 50, but he entered D50 slightly below level 50 which may be what you mean... If it had been important to me that he be level 50 before reaching D50 (which seems like...

I cleared D:50 in its entirety (though I handled and destroyed both levers beforehand just in case). Cricket's Acid bolt and teleportation made pretty short work of all the Balors, none...
Actually my YAVP shows that he scored 20 million points, which is not the same as xp, but rather a function of many factors, including points of spells known, skills known, locations visited, gate...
yeah, I was aware that as a human he was leveling up faster than some other characters might have, and he grabbed good learner somewhere around level 30, but great learner was one of his very last...
we can all agree that people have different definitions of what is "grindy", but to suggest that if you explore a level beyond finding the down stairs and immediately proceeding is "a grind" seems a...
are you suggesting that fully exploring every level you come to is "an incredibly grindy slog"?
I find playing ADoM to be pretty fun. That's why I play it. I don't stop having fun just because I'm traversing cavernous levels above the Tomb of the High Kings. I tend to fully explore every...
just to clarify, i mean that it probably took me an hour total to do the entire Tomb of the High Kings dungeon. I spent a little extra time killing stuff in the cavernous levels because as I...
Cricket is my first character to win since the Steam release of ADoM. I had a small handfull of wins (3 or 4) back in 1.1.1, and no significant ultra attempts, then when 1.2 came out I had a couple...
I've been seeing this said a lot in threads around here recently and I really don't get it...
I just last night closed the gate with a Human priest and he entered D:50 at level 46 I think. Granted...
