    Default Midgame tips?

    Got a good lvl20 ratling duelist going, but was almost demolished by some fire elementals in the greater vault @frost giant jarl caves. Thought I was p well off at this point, but the greater vault easily proved me wrong.

    DV at 43 and PV at 25, 138 to-hit and 4d8+51 dmg (while berserking). Was crowned Ironfist gauntlets got red dragon scale male and sword of sharpness through wishes. Found myself 7LB and ring of invis, and got tp control and teleportitis from pools.

    Fire themed greater vault, with dragons and elementals. There's a greater red wyrm in there that I just barely escaped from, damn confusion attacks.

    Already went through all reasonable dungeons. ToEF not done yet. Only just finished Thundarr's last quest.

    What else can I do to clear the vault?

    The greater vault is usually harder than the ToEF. I recommend doing the water temple, darkforge, the high kings, and then the ToEF, followed by a dive to the casino, as well as grabbing the cats eye ring in case you still qualify. Afterwards you will have the oomph to take on the vault.

    For the ToEF all you really need imo is a blessed potion of cure corruption to throw at the wyrm and a fireproof blanket or (hopefully) more than one. If you bless (and rustproof) the sword it will resist item destruction quite well, even in the toef.

    You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.

    Yes they are extremely deadly, wand usage in coward mode is recommended, para, acid, fireball or similar.

    My midgame duelist advice is to acquire a regen source (or two!), and maximise your DV as best you can. Then kite everything (except ultimate dopplegangers, those are what wands of fireballs are for).

    Penetrating weapons are choice against the Ultimate Doppelgangers.
    Otherwise, your weapons are thwarted by your own PV.
