IMO the difference is that say, pickpocketing is intended - it's a skill that lets you get extra items. Now, maybe Thomas didn't mean for you to obsessively pickpocket every single monster in the...

Just pretend? I mean, it only lists hair and eye color on one rarely viewed screen so it's not like it's shoving it in your face all the time. I don't even know what my hair/eye color (or age, and...

This is an urban legend which is simply not true.

Yeah, the ogre tribe lives literally below dwarftown. When you get the quest, a new stairway appears in dwarftown (south of the elder's building) that leads to it.

It's not regenerating mana that trains Ma - mindcrafters DO NOT train Ma from using mindcraft like johonka said. You can drain your PP with confusion blast all day long and never gain a single Ma...

Guth isn't a good NPC, he's neutral.

Oh sure, he's helping you now - Chaos is doing too well and he wants to even it out. But after you close the gate and things start picking up he's probably...

It's actually the opposite in my experience - very aggressive (you can't earn shield marks in berzerker mode) trains shields the fastest.

Why? Well, you 'block' when the DV from the shield+shield...

I *THINK* WMoPCs count as jellies so if you run into a bunch of them it can be pretty handy.

Otherwise it's pretty low on the artifact desireability list, but still better then most low lvl...

A blessed scroll of ID will identify everything you are carrying. Furthermore, weapons and armor can be equipped to identify them (usually).

As far as artifacts go, they usually have a special...

Ghost lord is not so bad, dig great treasure graves in the griffyard till you get a master lich and chances are he will summon some. That's what I did, anyway.

Of course that assumes you can kill...

If there are enough breeders a prayer will stop all breeding on the level. I'm not sure if blink dogs count or not, though.

That tidbit saved my life when I found a grey ooze vault once anyway :D

I just started up a priest and sure enough, no stealth.

My apologies, I'd have sworn everyone started with it. I can't believe how much I've played this and I never noticed that.

... I think everyone starts with stealth.

If you intend to stay lawful, then the master thief is useless to you. If you don't mind going neutral, he will train you in pickpockets for free, and eventually a bunch of other skills for money.
...

You can just turn your characters around and leave, that puts them on the highscore list so it counts I think. It might get boring, but it would be real fast and only takes what, 2 keypresses per...

Just got one for a goblin rockthrower :cool: that was a nice and easy one for a change.

The only non-breeder/summoned monster I've killed more of is kobolds

I think items can theoretically be improved forever if you are willing to spend the time, but that each improvement makes new ones harder and harder to add.

I've never really messed with smithing...

Well, scumming generally refers to something that's not strictly cheating, but goes somewhat against the spirit of the game. So, for example, you can scum wilderness encounters by just running around...

Something else that most people might know about, but I never saw documented anywhere. You can save yrrigs while chaotic, then turn neutral/lawful later and come back to learn healing - it still...

If you really, truly want to have a competition I'd sign up for the troll necro :p I've never actually managed a win yet.

Though really I think gnome is better in every way, oh sure trolls survive...

Yeah but necromantic slaves obey no matter what, and how many people use other pets?

I mean sure, there are ways to get good pets, but that's sort of an advanced tactic.

it's not as simple as +1.25 mana points per slave raised - there is a formula. Basically at lower mana levels (maybe up to 20 or so? I don't know for sure), you're almost certain to get +2 Ma per...

Despite what the guidebook says, I find necromancers to be one of the easier starting classes. They always get a good spellbook (frost bolt), you can make minions to help you fight (and/or to switch...

don't know about #1, but good luck finding one

As for #2, the water dragon mommy turns hostile, I think teleports to you, then tries to rip you a new one. She is pretty tough so watch out.

It's my understanding that tests showed TH giving something like 73% more items off starting level monsters. So, just counting monsters kills (at least for me that's where most items from from) they...
