    Default YAVP #6: Dark Elf Beastfighter

    If anyone is bored with these, let me know and I'll stop posting. I do get a bit of a kick out of a little bragging, though. :P

    After finishing last game as a melee char with a woeful weapon, I said f it to the whole weapons thing and went Beastfighter. In contrast to the last game, this one went very smoothly and indeed was finished in very few hours realtime(unfortunately, I don't think ADOM has a way to track this). I started out in the UD and found a wand shop with tons of useful wands like paralyzation, acid,. poison and knock(hey, it rocks early on), stable herbs on a tension level(auto-pacified apparently if you don't open the tension room) and multiple altars. Needless to say I did a fair bit of beggar and herb farmingat this point.

    I finished up the UD, levelled up to XL11 and did a quick double precrown(stoma farming is painless with adom-sage if you use this macro: w5w564. Harvest from full of blossoms down to withered. You can include extra commands to train skills as well). First precrown was Ring of Immunity... so it was right about here that I said GG.

    The low DV from lack of shields made a lot of situations a lot more dangerous than I'd like, but with care I managed to finish all the early-midgame quests. Mystic gave the potions and that moron Thrundrarr gave me the Dwarf Shield for the arena quest--I should have torn him limb from limb for that egregious insult. Got crowned with Boots of the Divine Messenger--I already had seven league boots at the time, but once I got to XL18 and received the lowered movement power, I used these for the rest of the game.

    Darkforge yielded three wishes--one from ring of djinni summoning(used on D:50 for wands of destruction) and two from pools(AOLS and Eternium Plate Mails). Also incredibly useful was the Intrinsic Invisibility it provided(also via pool). I then robbed a glowing wand from the water dragon cave... 1 charge+1 wrench, never used as usual lol. Had tons of stat gain potions by this point for some reason. Moved on to TOEF. Despite immunity, I got my ass kicked a whole lot by straight up melee attacks here. Had to use a lot pepper petals and one of my eternium plates was completely ruined by an elemental-- -8 PV in one shot. Did my usual disabling act on the poor old wyrm (he never gets a chance to hit me, it's kinda sad that this is the big bad bogeyman of ADOM nightmares!) and then moved through the COC.

    I got doomed a little past water temple after I hit a karmic in melee, but I just continued on to D:32 since I had teleport and invisibility. No incidents. Casino had complete crap except for some slaying ammo and quickling blood. Got the cat ring as usual thanks to endlessly patient cat imprisonment with my wands of door creation--in my experience if you don't use door creation, you WILL run over those erratic felines eventually.

    At this point, the game was a formality and I raced straight through the temples. Ancient Stone BEast didn't leave a corpse--I think this happens if he dies in a wall. Something to look out for. Woke up the archmage in the mana temple and smashed his face up after blinding him. His servants surrounded me, but to no avail. D:48 had a surge of power (Protector) which I left on the floor in disgust, but D:49 had the ridiculously awesome uselessness gift of Preserver. Unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy it as I sped my way through D:50 to put another one in the W Column. GG. My fastest win and also somehow my lowest level win.

    Yeah, that is really impressive.

    sterjs, are you trying to do the Addicted Man Challenge?
    Of course it's unfair - that's the whole point.

    Damn, I missed a day, so I have to start over now.
