    Default First Win! Boopsie the hurthling farm girl.

    I want to give a special thanks to Silfir and Gordon for posting their adventures on You Tube. After a decade of intermittent half-hearted, sometimes scummy, attempts I was inspired to go for the real deal! To my surprise, the adrenaline I felt after finally reaching D:50 and being moments away from possibly saving the world, rivaled that of playing Silent Hill for the first time...alone...while sleep deprived...in the dark.

    It was a surprise to Boopsie's parents that a candle-born young hurthling would succumb to years of illness during her childhood. What surprised them even more was that she decided not to follow in their proud footsteps as professional adventurers, but that she would rather become a simple farmer. (Why that caused a tear in their relationship I'll never know, after all, they did teach her about gardening, cooking, and food preservation...what did they expect?)

    Boopsie started her new life in the Drakalor Chain with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back, some basic tools, and a pack full of bread and rations. Terinyo seemed like a lovely little village to build her new home. There were even some abandoned cabins in the area that just needed a little tender loving care and well, some doors would have made a nice finishing touch. She was sure the drunken fool that always seemed to be afoot meant well with his cryptic babbling, but she would sleep better at night behind a sturdy locked door.

    Unfortunately, the townspeople seemed to glare at the newcomer with scrutinizing eyes. Where did she come from? What will she do? Is she really a female? (LOL. Sorry, couldn't resist)

    She would have to prove herself with a quest...

    YOUR HISTORY:
            Your parents are travelling adventurers. They are doing moderately
     well but are talented enough to survive.
            As a child you lived through happy days. Your parents tried to ease
     your life as much as possible and gave you a lot of comfort.
            In your youth you became seriously ill and suffered for many years.
     When your disease finally was cured you were left weakened, both
     physically and spiritually, and bereft of the joys of youth.
            As a young adult you left your home because of trouble with your
     parents. They opposed your plans for the future without understanding your
     wishes. Thus you decided to live on your own. You wandered through the
     country for many years, growing older and wiser and learning many things.
            You decided to become a Farmer.

    Ugh, sorry I'm a pack rat. I'd never survive as a monk.

    What started out as a single rescue mission developed into a fight to save the land from the grips of chaos. She had a few close brushes with death.

    After a few careless ghost encounters and some pool drinking, Boopsie was worried her 79 year old hunched over frail elderly body would give out on her. She decided to risk a few more sips and ended up with an amulet of life saving as well as having some of her youth restored.

    While dealing with the Cat lord (I thought only killing one cat meant no ring, but no hostility either! Whoops! What a painful surprise.) A wand of digging to reach the stairs, a merciful deity, teleportitis, and a wand of webbing saved her life.

    She was also almost defeated by the Chaos Archmage. All she had for protection against his death rays was a smelly disgusting ancient mummy wrapping, which was barely enough to get the job done.

    Boopsie owes her victory in large part to her archery skills combined with a lucky pre-crowning of Far Slayer<3 Her actual crowning gift was some two-handed piece of junk...I don't know what possibilities farmers have so I couldn't be too terribly disappointed at least. She wisely skipped over a greater vault full of "L"s which scared her away by attacking her mind as soon as she peeked inside. I see now that there were probably robes of resistance and ring of immunity in there. I think she made the right choice by running.

    The most intense part of her adventure was on D:50 as she kept getting corruption after corruption after corruption. She had saved Khelly so it wouldn't have been a problem...except she was paranoid about item destruction and had stashed her scrolls of chaos resistance in Dwarftown and forgotten to retrieve them after the Tower of Eternal Flames! Stupid, stupid, stupid. She also left a RoDs there too. A wish for a wand of destruction would have been really handy...

    Boopsie feared each step she took would be her last. Her heart was racing and sweat poured down her clammy skin. She jumped each time she heard the sound of chaos washing over the level again, thinking it was the sound of Death coming to take her from this realm. She wasn't sure how much time she had left before she turned into a blob of purple goo. As she stepped over the greater balor corpse to pull the lever one last time, she thought of how proud her adventuring parents would be of her right then. She hoped she would be able to make it back to tell them about it someday.

    Congrats on the first win! What made you choose a farmer for it?

    Thanks so much for the responses guys

    I was inspired to try a hurthling farmer after Gordon mentioned maybe using one for his next "Let's Play" video (I do hope he does another!!!). I really enjoy the hurthling skill set and the farmer class seems to be all about using those skills, so I thought I'd try playing a character that I really enjoyed over trying to roll a character with all the bells and whistles.

    In the past I always felt like I needed skills like alertness, concentration, and find weakness to succeed. Turns out I'm actually more of a food preservation kind of gal, lol. Don't get me wrong, I would have been thrilled if the handful of potions and scrolls of education I found did something for me other than training my woodcraft and teaching me the Law skill, but I didn't feel under powered really. Maybe I'll feel differently after I get a few more wins under my belt.

    Well done. My 1st was also a hurtling, they are fun to play. I've taken 4 to D:48. Currently still planning experiments with the 4th. So I know them well.

    What are you planning next?

    You know that lively thread going on in the general section of the forum about the toughest race/class combo has my wheels turning about what to try next! (Although that is probably the last place I should be looking for inspiration on what to play, lol.)

    I was toying with the idea of a gnome necromancer since the only thing I didn't like about my farmer was that she was abysmal when it came to learning spells. I'd probably also enjoy playing a hurthling <anything> so I might let fate decide my class and see how it goes from there.

    I'm kind of attracted to playing the "underdog" type characters that are less popular I think. Any suggestions?

    Mindcrafters are very different to play and difficult early on.
    They can't learn spells though.

    Healers are interesting and not played that often. They can learn spells and have a good skillset and regenerate like mad if you can get them going.

    I'd say the classes I'd consider most to be "underdogs" are druids and fighters. They're both okay classes, actually, but they're overshadowed by similar but significantly better classes (priests and barbarians/paladins, respectively), so they don't get a lot of love. Mindcrafters are a very different class to play and a lot of people avoid them because of it, though they can be tricky to play as well.

    Thieves are the hardest classes overall, IMHO, with merchants a close second. Though, if you like hurthlings, a hurthling thief can be quite fun (be sure to take the Heir talent!).
    Hoping to win with every class, doomed. Archer, Barbarian, Bard, Beastfighter, Druid, Elementalist, Farmer, Fighter, Monk, and ULE Priest down.
