I agree. I killed Morgoth with my starting weapon and no armor.

So far, I haven't had the misfortune of getting any terrible advice, but I've made enough stupid mistakes on my own to learn a few things. After going through probably two dozen mages (I'm determined to get past level 10 or 12 with a gnome mage) I can say that quaffing unID'd potions probably has more to do with class (or current hp) than anything else. I've been killed twice by quaffing what turned out to be poison. Other than that, being blinded or confused, etc never bothered me since I never quaffed unID'd potions around monsters.

Wield Calris, then enchant it.

In the early levels, make sure you take out any other monster in the room BEFORE killing the lice or fleas. They're just bugs, don't worry about them.

Kill every unique you meet.

... at first meeting.

Man, I'm glad this thread got resurrected.

Secret method for making boots of speed:

Place boots on floor.
Place Ring of Speed on floor next to them.
Zap both with a wand of lightning balls, and say the magic words...

In the beginning, spend all your money on weapon enchantments. You don't need healing and stuff when the enemy has no time to attack you!

If you're fighting a bunch of weaker monsters in a long corridor, just hold the arrow button down, letting the messages fly by, till they are all dead. It's very gratifying and totally safe.

I used to do that all the time, until one day there was a Great Wyrm of Balance on the other side.
