What stupid thing am I doing now?

[Namdeht]

I'm trying out the strategy Ingwe described in the How fast do you dive thread and after a couple of false starts I have a promising looking @ on the go. I hung around DL1-3 until I had most of the basic stuff ID'd and found a set of FA gloves, then dove fast for DL30. At the moment I'm hanging around DL30-40 going for stat gain, then intending to dive deep again once I've maxed DEX, STR & CON.

Before I kill this one by doing something needlessly stupid (as opposed to the needfully stupid way I'll kill him later :P) I thought I'd run it up the flagpole and see what advice anyone has: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=21000

[Derakon]

Looks good to me. In fact I'd say you're probably good to dive a decent amount. Haradekket is a pretty nice weapon for this stage in the game.

Do be on the lookout for Rings of Damage though; see how they compare vs. the DEX/CON rings you're using now. With 6 blows/round, a +10 damage ring is another 60 damage, or about a 33% increase against most enemies.

[Ingwe Ingweron]

Looking pretty good. You should continue to descend to the extent you are comfortable; picking up stat-gain and improvements along the way. Once you are about DL60, you might as well dive fast for DL98, since the comparative danger levels aren't all that much higher as long as you are careful.

A few minor notes:

Don't know what you mean about having maxed Str, Dex, Con. 18/100 natural is max. You have sufficient to keep moving down, though.

You can ditch the ?Word of Recall, you don't need them. The rod is lightning proof and Dex is high enough that it won't be stolen.

You have blindness and confusion protection now. So, no longer need to carry mushrooms of clear mind. You should also start getting more scrolls of Teleportation, so you can soon ditch the staff. You'll have zero-fail with the scrolls.

Thanks Derakon, I'll check that out.

There might be a decent ring of damage on the floor of the dungeon level I'm on right now, I know I passed one recently. Now I'm wishing I'd asked for advice earlier

Thanks for the tips, I'll take it on.

It's an interesting tip regarding DEX and the rod of recall, I didn't know high DEX stops things being stolen, I thought that was a saving throw roll. How high does DEX need to be to provide protection from stealing?

?Teleport - I didn't join the dots on pconf and pblind making scrolls reliable. I guess hallucinating is still an issue? And what about stunning, I don't recall ever trying to read a scroll while stunned, is it possible?

(As a side note, I still find after playing all these years there's a lot I don't know about the game's mechanics. I'm always picking up handy hints from these forums but is there a good up to date faq anywhere, or any other good sources for this kind of information?)

Regarding me aiming for those max stats I am referring to natural, I feel like I'm supposed to max those once stat gain is available and I imagine the stat gain potions are less frequent lower down because of all the extra items which can generate, plus I really like to have the extra HP before I start running into U and D all over the place. (Although now that I think about it I suspect this is another false sense of security thing!)

18/150, a.k.a. 33 on the linear scale.

?Teleport - I didn't join the dots on pconf and pblind making scrolls reliable. I guess hallucinating is still an issue? And what about stunning, I don't recall ever trying to read a scroll while stunned, is it possible?

Reading scrolls is always binary: either you can, or you can't. Blindness, confusion, and lack of light are IIRC the only things that prevent reading. Drinking potions always works regardless of status (well, unless you're paralyzed or knocked out, I guess).

More stats is of course always better, but you don't need to max them before you continue. Stat potions will show up in greater numbers deeper in the dungeon, if for no other reason than that more items of all types show up deeper in the dungeon.

Your biggest weakness is CON--a bit surprising that INT is higher here. But there's not much you can do for quite a while. The difference between 15 and 18/40 just isn't that great. Stealth (and speed) are the critical stats for rogues until CON is high. !CON and !AUG show up in deep vaults pretty often.

It's just been the (bad) luck of the draw - I've been up and down between DL30 - DL38 a couple of times and not found many stat potions, the ones I have found have skewed towards !INT (from memory I've found about half a dozen !INT, maybe two !CON and one each !DEX and !STR).

[Namdeht]

Some progress, found that ring of damage and picked up a ring of rPois, a little more stat gain (identified !augmentation). Resumed moving down slowly but now with rPois thinking of reading the deep descent scroll I have at home.
