My first real potential winner...
I've been playing for a while... not sure how long, but I think I started fall of 99 when I got to college. I've been playing this character for 2 years maybe, mostly just to relax after work. I have not save scummed, but I've been abusing recharging ?Summon. I got lucky at around Dlvl25 with Ringil and started to truly believe I had a shot. I'm now working my way down through the depths. I have an unmodified (or in this case, encumbered) speed of +32.
Now, for those that have some time to think about it, anyone see any equipment changes that might improve my survivability? Code:

That looks pretty close to final gear to me. You could use more WIS; in fact, "WIS is probably better than Evenstar at the moment. Filling some of the resistance holes would be nice, too - especially RBlind (although you only really have to worry about things that hit to blind now, I think). You are certainly safe to go quite a bit deeper - I'm not going to give any more aggressive advice to someone who's being playing this character for two years, though

Haha, I was actually at about this strength hanging around at Dlvl40. When you're just sitting there slaughtering stuff, you don't realize how strong you are. I'm not 'attached' to this one any more than it's dozens of predecessors (just read the idea a couple years ago about appending iterators to the end to keep track of failed attempts... this should probably be something like s0be CXVII, haha). I've been working on diving today (day off from work thanks to crashing into a plow truck on my way in) and will see how far it goes. I think around 65 I'll stop. I'll try out higher Wis when I stumble across a big "Wis.
As an aside, I just ran into Saruman of Many Colours and slaughtered him a lot more quickly than I expected. I had more troubles with the Lernaean Hydra. Maybe RNG was being good to me though. |

You'll definitely survive much deeper, just don't become too confident. And pray that you find Narya

Well, first time at 3000' I encountered a (L.Dark A).... A few whacks at Azriel then a teleport away... recover whack teleport... rinse repeat. Took maybe half an hour, but got him. I made sure he never got be below 600hp in case he got me twice big in a row when teleport failed (which, never happened somehow). Didn't drop squat though.

You weren't joking about rBlind... I almost got smoked by Gabriel and a horde of minions. I ended up luring him into one corner, teleported away, collected my loot and WoR'd... I'm not going after him until I'm rBlind. |

You are carrying way to much stuff. Your base speed should be +30, but at 430lbs burden, you are slowed down to +22. You don't need to carry nearly so many books. You only need 1 each of the dungeon books, and usually 3 is enough for the basic 4. And certainly sell all the garbage in your home, and in your inventory. Almost all those weapon artifacts are worthless compared to Ringil, and most of those cursed artifacts are worthless in all situations. (Calris is a better sword than Ringil vs dragons, though you are unlikely to use it.)
You should be stockpiling Healing potions (3 types), Restore Mana, and scrolls of (Mass) Banishment instead. Finally, one nasty thing about Paladins is that you end up carrying too many different books. You may want to use use the Star, and don't carry book 3. (Alternatively, use The Phial and don't carry book 1.) And certainly don't carry !Restore Life or Purifications and Healing as a level 50 Paladin. You are playing with fire in that you are carrying NO guaranteed escapes. You should always carry either *Destruction*, or Teleport Level, or both. |
