    Red face First Ultra, CEKTA the Gnome Wizardess

    Hey guys, so after my first win with dwarven wizard i thought of doing ultra and trying something new, so the r/c of my choice was gnome wizard. Haha.
    Highlights:
    1) Bought AOLS in HMV for a bit more than 3000 gold, saved Khelavaster;
    2) Found potion belt in FGJ caves. I play really spoiled by wiki and discord (ty guys), so I knew what to do with it. Suddenly after a few dozens of POGAs I drunk exchange potion and it made my willpower very close to 100, so i stick with this result.
    3) First kill was mugger in the outlaw settlement town, somehow during the game I killed one more, so Filk was on the level 2. Thanks, Monster Memory Service;
    4) Boar and farmer was made with the bow of hunting, although I wished for Food Preservation beforehand, i like that skill;
    5) Till the middle game I somehow had big troubles with food. Cooked lizards were not enough, no stable herb patterns, and so i even restocked Terynio shop a few times. Later on found a few stable stomas in fungal caves and it was done;
    6) Made the Cat Quest for the first time; while cleansing a greater undead vault, liches summoned cave tigers so I took the ring in the backpack and murdered em all.
    7) The most tedious things in the game for me: trying to enter the Assassin Prince level (i think, multiple controlled teleport intrinsics should reduce or even remove the number of tries for that!), fighting the Merchant Guild dragon while caster (so it's only Magic Missile and for that reason I skipped killing Sharad-Waador), reading Wish standing in the rich flavour room while having teleportitis;
    8) Truly disappointing that the scintillating cave bottom level and the PlAnE in tiles look like common dungeon, while mini map showing the true beauty of those places as ASCII does.
    9) Mega truly disappointing is that I finished with less points than my regular winner.
    10) This run I enjoyed very much, because I had room for a bit grinding (herbs, potion belt, blink dogs in ID) while visiting a new places (all ultra stuff actually) and missing way less artifacts on my way than the previous run, as I actually identified all the items in vaults and such.

    178 hours into the game now.
    Thoughts on the next run:
    1) Farming fate decide;
    2) Aiming for 50M points no matter how;
    3) Aiming to reach ID:100;
    4) Winning without ever changing alignment.
