Armoursmith was unplanned, but I had about no armour but a very heavy mail corslet at that point that I didn't want to wear. Wonder whether I can make it useful later when I find some gloves etc. even if this doesn't become a real smithing char.

This is looking quite good (winnable), as long as you don't get stuck in fights you can't win.

Try to get Crowd Fighting AND Critical Resistance, and maybe Majesty. This way, you have reassurance you won't get stuck in fights.

If you're putting any emphasis on stealth at all, I'd disagree with you there Hugo :) Especially now that he has those boots, I'd be canning Will and going Perception all the way!

Good to see you're getting some mileage out of the minimal investment in smithing. Seems like this guy wanted to be a Feanorian!

FYI you might want to put a teeny bit more into stealth, or consider diving past the next 200' or so. Greater Werewolves and cats are likely going to cause you some problems, if they haven't already.

I guess my above advice works for those who fight (as opposed to sneak) their way out.

At this time, it would be helpful to get Poison Resistance from Will or find a Ring or Armour source....because Poison attacks from Greater Werewolves, Ancient Spiders, and Ancient Emerald Serpents are very nasty...if you do get caught!

I start to worry about lack of diggers so far... This grace+1 crown looks beautiful but I will leave it here most likely. Orcrist probably doesn't have enough damage output for the deeper floors and against high protection enemies, there is a special greatsword on this level that might be Saithnar I try to collect it next.

I have no perception ability yet. Listen? And are there useful songs without big investment? Silence? Slaying? Sharpness (well might be too expensive).

On 10.2.2013 14:38 debo wrote:
Sharpness is pretty critical for killing V if that's what you're going for. Concentration is probably the best ability from the Perception tree for fighting him as well. Listen is indeed very handy as well for stealthy characters, but I've never found it to be more than a nice-to-have, personally.

I suspect you're hurting your prospects by not taking loremaster. At the deeper floors you can rack up a lot of experience in a hurry just by walking around and getting items in your LOS, which is why a lot of people say the ability "pays for itself". If you really love the ID game, though, I'm not going to stop you :)

This guy is looking good -- one thing I would do is dive to 950' more or less immediately and start using _Treasures to scum the dungeon. It's a bit scary, but very profitable :) You can do that at shallower depths as well, but even with high perception I find that I often fall victim to false floors :(

If you want a low-investment song to use, Silence is amazing for stealth characters, and it gives you something to do with your Voice (of which you have an awful lot of).

debo: Do you mean you think optimal play involves taking Loremaster? That's certainly not our intention. I find you can generally identify pretty much everything by the late game, though, with a combination of by-use and staves of understanding.

I think Listen is pretty powerful, both in letting you plan further, and also dealing well with dark-creating foes.

On 10.2.2013 16:19 HallucinationMushroom wrote:
Listen is definitely good. Always useful, especially with your high perception. It can save your life if you are fighting dark creatures that your light source can't find.

Loremaster is a wonderful luxury though. I can't weigh in on the optimal play side.

For me, I would take focused attack for a free +9 to attack if I simply waited a turn. It works for both melee and archery. If I had fights that last more than 3 rounds or so, I'd tack on concentration as well.

A mattock or trumpet of blasting would be a high priority for me at this point. You don't really have a good way to deal with Kemenrauko or Grotesques other than avoiding them right now (Listen is good for this, especially with your high perception score; Sharpness can help you kill them), unless you get lucky with earthquakes.

Almost all the songs are useful in some situation; it depends on what problem you're having. Silence and Lorien can be very useful for stealthy characters; Song of Slaying helps you ramp up your damage output; Song of Freedom can remove rubble and traps (and unlock chests and doors, but with your perception you shouldn't be having a problem with those); Song of Trees can save your life in the dark. Woven Themes with Song of Silence and something else is a great way for stealthy characters to sing quietly.

If you don't plan to take any other perception abilities, I'd probably go ahead and get Listen; it's a no-brainer for what it costs, given your perception score (unless you are in the school of killing everything anyway).

I was purposeless hanging around 900ft. should have gone downstairs instead. I stupidly gorged myself and even more stupidly attacked the cat uniques... the combination killed me. I should be more careful.

Couldn't resist smithing... :)

Lone grotesques were no big problem with Saithnar, killed several of them. The smithing was a big distraction though, I should have spent the experience into something more evidently useful (or just weaponsmithing a mattock!) - but the idea to hang around 900ft. was dumb. Without the latest song and smithing investments (put free action on the armor) I could have been ready to go down and grab a shiny... but I didn't dare going down and died at 900ft instead.

Gotta watch for Tevildo, he is very aggressive and his hits are nasty.

If I were not gorged I could have taken them out or at least survive... but why oh why was I waiting. It seems I am really scared of the throne room and prefer dying elsewhere :(
