    Let's see ...

    Wands of poison are extremely powerful. They're rare for a reason.

    Also - wands of digging. They're an item that you take for granted if you have enough; but not having one, and...

    Best race in ADOM?

    What do you think is the best race in ADOM? Of course, any discussion of this nature is likely to be highly subjective, but I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

    I'd have to go with Dark Elf -...

    Crazy! You did very well to win, and do an ultra at that, after all that stuff happening. Congratulations!

    Thank you! :)



    Oh, this was on 1.2.0 pre 23. I'm not doing the current pre-release just yet - a bit behind the times.



    Yeah, it was incredibly useful, and meant I only had to use 2 PoEH...

    Yes, but I was going for my first lawful win, so I wanted to go with that restriction for this game. It didn't matter, I eventually picked up a ring of ice - on D:50.

    Managed a win! :) I'm pretty...

    Well, I had wanted this character to be a melee character, but I found too much good ammunition to only melee stuff - many of the harder battles were done with slaying ammo.

    A few notes:

    Yeah, you're not wrong. But it still hurt like hell.

    Well, up to Air Temple, which I will do after I sleep. It's pretty late here. Found Kinslayer in the gift shop, which will prove useful (my...

    Well, I grinded up to level 25 in the cavern above the TotHK ... no ring of ice, wish or Concentration ...but I did end up with a lot of demon slaying ammo, so I decided to simply do the Tower...

    They do if you hurt them - and unfortunately, they interpret a door trap you set off as you 'hurting' them. That's why you tell the pet to stay the hell away from doors if you're trying to disarm a...

    Using (dark) Necromancy also increases Mana, and trains potential Mana as well. I realise this won't help much as a Wizard or Priest, but Necromancers can end up with truly stellar Mana by the...

    Ogre mage corpses also act as potions of raw mana in a similar way to kobold shaman corpses - I'm sure there's others.

    But really, you don't have to use magic for every fight. In fact, with the...

    Up to the 'curtain of fire' ...

    I haven't got a ring of ice yet, but I have got a lot of other good stuff - my rustproof phase dagger is proving to be very nice. And piles of slaying ammunition -...

    I should mention traps aren't a real problem. I have Alertness, Dodge, Detect Traps and Disarm Traps - all at 100. And Dex 28 or so. The Pyramid was even easier than normal. :)

    And I have enough...

    I've sculled down quite a few raw mana pots, and eaten two ogre mage corpses which gave me the 'you feel closer to the mana flow of blah blah blah', so it might not be so bad. I'm not planning to...

    I have a lot of unidentified rings on me right now, so hopefully one of them turns out to be a ring of ice. Anyway ... weapons aren't a big problem right now, but I'm just looking forward to the...

    Oh, at level 18 I gained knowledge of Heal, Destroy Undead, some crap I don't remember right now - and Acid Ball. Can I even cast spells without Concentration? And if I can, it will use up a lot of...

    Yeah, I've got the Sword of Nonnak for squishing corrosive enemies.

    And yeah, I've been training up my Bows and Crossbows skills (slaying ammo is too common and too good not to) - in fact, I only...

    I did rustproof the sword of sharpness, but I realise that's not the only threat to it.

    So what do you reckon, switch over to Big Punch and start cranking up my Maces and Flails skill for the...
  21. Still playing in 1.2.0 pre 23, looking for some advice

    As the title says, I'm still playing with pre 23 - mostly because I want to get a melee win on it to go with my previous archer and wizard wins.

    I've currently got a very nice Dark Elf bard going...

    Hilarious. Truly nice work.

    Have you ever said 'orc' to the Dwarf Elder? I feel like that'd make a nice panel or two. :)

    But don't let me tell you how to do your work - these are pretty good,...

    Yeah, likewise, but apparently some madman did it back in the day. After seeing how powerful pets can get so quickly, I can see how (with a few tricky points) it could be doable.
