Very early game, if I could get some armour, I would probably kill a few enemies with any reasonable weapon I can find because at that point you can take out the weaker enemies without too much risk....

It used to be possible to stack curses on artifacts you had created to get more smithing points. By Sil 1.3 most of the curses did not give you points because they could be used on items that would...

At 53 evasion with double free action I'm going to call that death somewhat unlucky. That said, getting a Sil is way easier than killing Morgoth. He gets harder to kill the closer he is to dying. If...
