(clevel: 33, dlevel: 37) Spanky2 is a non-artifact using character with whom I'm hoping to go after Melkor. He's also signed up for 98 optional quests to raise the difficulty, since I feel slightly guilty about trying the "no artifacts" thing with an archer-type character, rather than a melee character. Oh, and he's also a sort of tribute to Spanky, a ranger who was my very first ToME character to ever actually get anywhere.

The original plan was to raise Bowmastery to 50, Conveyance to 30 (for Recall), and Divination to 40 (for Enlightenment), that'll take 206 points, so he needed 4 FF rewards for either Conveyance or Divination. He's already done it, so he might have some extra skill points left over to put into Combat, Stealth, or Magic.

Playing without artifacts causes some funny reactions to found items. Spanky2 activated an Acquirement trap and got a long bow (x5). Since he's an archer, I'd normally be thrilled, but instead I felt a momentary elation followed by sick dread. Spanky2 ID'ed it and my fears were confirmed. Bard. Darn.

Additionally, Spanky is going to spend a VERY small amount of time in the non-mainline dungeons, because he's getting plenty of treasure and exp from the random quests, and he can't use the various artifacts he'd get from the side dungeons. Usually its the other way around. I typically play with no or few random quests, so I zip through the mainline dungeons (or even skip one or more of them) so I can hit the side dungeons. Its quite a change.

Ah, I was waiting for this :) Yet another quirk of artifactless characters: I've never seen anyone having a collection of Elven Armors in ToME before we started this challenge.

I must agree with you that 98 quest definitely raise difficulty. Princess quests for 10 GDraconic Qs in Angband are no fun.

Good luck with Spanky2. Don't feel guilty about playing an archer-type - this leaves a room for improvement (as does my Curse route) :)

Well, that's the glass is half-full way of looking at it. I just figured that I was unlikely to actually get through it with a melee character (the endless scumming for a staff of wishes or a good ego weapon would have killed me with boredom), but an archer seemed kind of interesting. I then tacked on the 98 quests and Melkor hunt to make me feel better about taking the easy way out.

Just had back-to-back princess quests for AMHD around level 40 in Mordor. At this rate, we'll see if Spanky2 even gets to the end.

Mordor 43 - Princess Quest Aether Vortices

What are those Aether Vortices doing there? Don't they realize this is the Dragon section of Mordor? The AMHD quests were for 14 each, making them rather rather difficult even with seeker arrows of slay dragon.

Just ran into Cantoras in a lesser vault on level 47. I'm very, very glad Spanky2 found a source of telepathy before trying to open the vault.

gogogogogo!

What I hate about archers is that I am completely skeptical about the multiple shots a round actually giving you multiple shots a round. My yeek bard is creeping through mordor at the moment also, but I finally got my con to 40 so I'm feeling a lot better about it now. I kept getting quests with master mindcrafters and was just waiting for them to summon something crazy.

(clevel:39, dlevel:55) 2/3 of the way through Mordor, but it might be time to start hunting for Dungeon towns as level 55 has a princess quest for Hrus and those things are bad news. On the other hand, Spanky2 has demonstrated a remarkably ability to handle tough monsters. A Princess quest for Old Sorcerers (they are speed +20, while Spanky is +4 thanks to running) went surprisingly smoothly thanks to good positioning and arrows of flame.

Spanky2 has already gone through a good number of bows, gradually upgrading each time. While deciding between his current two bows (the one with the better bonus vs. the one that gives rChaos and rConfusion, allowing him to swap his rConfusion armor for a suit with rSound.) I've started a bow exhibit in the museum, showing off the various bows he's used so far. I actually sold the original one, but I'm pretty sure it ended up at (+9,+9), so he bought one and enchanted it up for the sake of posterity.

Felagund,

Are you going to post that yeek of yours one day?

shtuph,

A yeek bard with a 40 CON? How'd you manage that? Master Mindcrafters are horrible. I think they're arguably as much trouble in the Maeglin quest as the Lesser Balrogs.

On 13.4.2005 14:54 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
Ooh, too many armor choices. In the mid-game, not using artifacts means there are a very limited number of ways to cover your resists. Lets see, I can trade 40 HP, +15 to-hit, and +2 stealth, for rSound and rChaos, +3 WIS and +3 CHR; or I can trade about 30% of my damage output and +4 to-hit for rChaos; or I can trade +10 to-hit for rSound; or I can trade... well, its enough to drive you nuts. I think I'll stick with my current set-up, since Hrus don't do any of the above.

On 13.4.2005 18:25 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
(clevel:41, dlevel:61) The Hrus ended up not being a problem. There were only 5 and seeker arrows of flame chopped them down quickly. However, a Princess Quest for Hand Druj probably will be the stopping point in Mordor for a while. Spanky2 has the offense, the hit points, and the resists to take them on, but he just doesn't have the speed (still at +4). +10 monsters are perfectly managable (quests for Nightwings and Dracolisks went fine), but +20 speed monsters are trouble unless they're frail (like the Old Sorcerers). Hand Druj are frail, but the second Spanky2 steps into their room they'll blast him to pieces.

NOW its time to go find some dungeon towns, and hopefully some good boots of speed and a ring of speed.

Post my yeek? I'm pretty sure you've seen it, just not here. Though now I realize that you might not recognized me by my mail address - I'm ZasVid on the ToME forum and the wiki.

Anyway, +4 speed sure is painful. It'd be so nice to find a PDSM with such a character. That would solve a lot of problems. You have a lot of chances at dungeon towns and the dragon hunter shop, so you may get one easier than in a dungeon.

PDSM would be nice, though I'm actually getting close to covering everything without it. Freeing up a ring slot would be nice, though, and eventually I'd like to swap Weaponmastery for Trickery (for the extra speed).

Shtuph,

Maximize off makes things a lot easier for Yeeks, but, WOW, that's a lot of CON bonuses. Even with maximize on I think you'd have made it to 40 just fine.

(dlevel: 41, clevel:61) After quickly checking out the Orc Caves, Old Forest, Rhun, and Moria, Spanky2 has found 4 dungeon towns, which have 3 rare footware shops, 2 speed ring stores, and 2 dragonhunter stores. No Mastery Archers, but the various BMs seem to be supplying a steady stream of incrementally better bows, so its not a big deal. SLoM is too dangerous to check out at this point, and the Illusory Castle is too annoying, so these 4 will have to do for now.

Thinking about armor, while PDSM would be great, a suit of BDSM would be nearly as good since it would cover rShards, free up a ring slot, and let Spanky2 swap his weaponmastery amulet for Trickery (boosting his speed AND covering rNexus), resulting in fully covered resists.

(clevel:43, dlevel:70) Checking out those dungeon towns proved very rewarding as one of the footware shops eventually coughed up a pair of boots of speed, and one of the speed ring shops had a +11 ring for sale. It also had a randart RoS speed for sale, but it wasn't one of the super-nifty +10 extra attacks ones, plus Spanky2 couldn't use it anyway, it being an artifact. Finally, one of the dragonhunter shops gave him a suit of Balance Dragon Scale mail.

After wearing everything, I realized rElec and rAcid were now uncovered (doh! stupid base resists), but swapping an amulet of resistance for weaponmastery seems to have covered it. rNexus is also uncovered, but Nexus-schmexus. Finding some polished BDSM or PDSM would save another slot or two, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for it. This could well be the final version of Spanky2's kit as the only item that would be a clear upgrade and is reasonably likely to drop would be a pair of gloves of power, and they wouldn't change things much.

Anyway, with the new equipment, Spanky2 went back, spanked those Hand Druj, finished Mordor, and killed the Necromancer. The Necromancer was Sauron? I'm shocked... shocked!

Most of the town quests are done. Just the level 45 ones and, umm, all the Lothlorien ones. What? Oh, no. Just a coincidence. No, I haven't been bad with the Lothlorien house quest... well, not as bad I could be, anyway.

I've probably taken 40-50 skeletons out of the Lothlorien House quest, which isn't terribly honorable, but its not THAT bad. The real reason for keeping the supply open is to deal with the massive ammo supply he's going to need for Melkor.

(clevel:44, dlevel:70) Well, that was an interesting turn of events. First, Spanky2 headed into Angband and took on the 14 GWoC who were guarding the princess. Took a while, but they weren't really a problem. WOW did they drop some good stuff, though. Vorpal Blade, Lasher, Arkenstone, and Celeborn are all first class artifacts, and then Limbslicer and Ingwe dropped as well, plus a *Defender* mace and a short bow of Lothlorien (both got me excited, and both disappointed).

After selling off the loot, Spanky2 headed off to go kill the Ring-bearers. He's close to clevel 45, and the next quest if for 14 Black Reavers. I didn't want him to have to abandon the quest halfway through to go save Gondolin.

So, I decide to do them in order of difficulty. First the Watcher, who isn't very hard at this stage. Next, Shelob, who's a bit more difficult, but certainly easier than those GWoC... and Shelob had the One Ring! Excellent! Well, I guess Spanky2 will now be out an inventory slot for the entire trip through Angband, but at least he won't have to farm Sauron.

Spanky2 won't be wearing the One Ring, of course. Not just because he's going after Melkor, but also because, well, its an artifact.

Haven't figured out how he's going to make it through Mt Doom, yet, though. Lots and lots of potions of resist heat, I guess, but no potion shops have turned up yet.

On 15.4.2005 17:08 Elliott946@aol.com wrote:
(clevel:45, dlevel:70) Sometimes, the RNG is just in a really good mood. Spanky2 headed over to Erebore with 99 empty bottles to hunt for potions of resist heat. Literally 5 minutes after entering Erebore, he recalled out with 68 potions of resistance. 2 of the first 5 fountains he tried were resistance.

He still wasn't level 45, though, so he went to the SLoM to look for dungeon towns (thank heavens for climbing gear). Found one (and it had a potion shop, so he was able to add a few more), and down on level 70 killed a GWoPerplexity which got him to level 45.

Deciding what to do next. Because of the MtDoom bug, I want to make sure he's powerful enough to get through it in one shot before starting, so I'll probably wait until he's level 50.

Maeglin vs Angband... Well, I'm leaving next week to go on vacation for a couple weeks, so this question may have to wait until May.

Went for Maeglin. Finished without too much trouble. Acid for Maeglin, slay dragon for the dragons, venom for the balrogs, and regular seeker arrows on everything else.

8 truarts plus 4 randarts in the loot. Left Bard's arrow and a randart sheaf arrow there, but took the rest and Mathomed them. Some nice ones, too. Elessar, Rohirrim, Beor, and Numenor top the list.

I've found a way around Mt. Doom bug. You must save before recalling (every time) and then it works as it should.

Have a nice vacation!

What is this mount doom bug? I've heard about it, but never anything specific...

The MtDoom non-persistence bug. Nasty.

MtDoom is supposed to be persistent, but if you recall out rather than using the stairs (in 2.3.0 or later), it resets itself. If you see Sauron there, the game will think he's there. but if you recall out, the level will reset without Sauron. Sadly, the game will still think he's there, though, and not create him anywhere else. Unless another ringbearer drops the One Ring, the game becomes unwinnable.

I had a character run afoul of it. Very annoying. I decided it sounded better to say he had fought the forces of Morgoth to a draw and Sauron had fled in the face of the character's power than to say the game was unwinningable.

(dlevel: 47, dlevel:79) Spanky2 is back from the beach! He's tanned, rested, and ready to thrash the rest of Angband!

Forged through a few more levels of Angband since getting back. Skipped a FF quest for Master Qs on 75 (I guess he could handle it if he really had to, but I'd rather not), and he's now gearing up to go after a Princess quest for Sky Drakes on level 79.

Since Spanky2 intends to go after Melkor, he's taking cloaks even over long bows as princess quest rewards in hopes of getting a cloak of air.

Looks like Mumaks come in at least a couple varieties since a quest for Mumaks on 76 (a very easy draw) produced a corpse, but the Beast Master wouldn't accept it for a corpse quest.

Wood Elf Rangers seem to be the flavour of the moment... I'd offer to race you to the 'Big guy with the Heavy boots' but have a sneaky feeling you're gonna get there first.... Never found a cloak of Air, but they sure sound cool.

Well, you never know when something is going to bump a character off. Good luck to you. Cloaks of air are only useful if you're going after Melkor or into Numenor.

(clevel:49, dlevel:88) Into the home stretch. While MtDoom still awaits, it should be pretty easy compared to Angband. Well, not the peak, of course. That's tough no matter how you slice it.

(clevel:50, dlevel:95) Skipping Nameless and I'd also like to skip the princess quest for 14 Greater Qs, but short of getting lucky with a multiplication trap, I don't think that's an option.

Had a princess quest for Ancalagon back on 92 that was pretty rough. Fortunately, Spanky2 had a few dozen seeker arrows of slay dragon stored away just in case, otherwise the Angband cleaning crew would probably have been scrubbing little bits of charred wood-elf off the walls. The first battle of the entire game Spanky2 truly powered up for (hasted, heroism, etc.), and I'm glad to see he was up to the task.

Kit is still pretty much the same, though he lucked into buying a better speed ring at the royal jewelry shop in Gondolin (don't think I've ever seen a +15 RoS for sale before).

(clevel:50, dlevel:99) Ok, that's it for the random quests. Overall, they really weren't bad. No Greater Titans or GWoP or even greater Balrogs. Ancalagon and the Nightwalkers on 88 were probably the most "powerful" and while the Greater Draconic Qs on 95 took by far the longest, once I figured out how to get them, they went fairly painlessly (0 successful summons out of 14 Qs (on the successful try, that is. Took 3 seperate attempts before I figured out the best way to get them) also means I got pretty lucky, but most of them never even got a chance to summon).

On to MtDoom!

(clevel:50, dlevel:99) *BOOM* goes the One Ring! It took 22 potions of resistance to scale MtDoom and destroy the One Ring, mostly because he didn't try to fight his way through the peak. Spanky2 used Recall (with its high failure rate (42%) partially cancelled by bringing and using several potions of restore mana) to swap-position himself into the room of the great fire, and then back out again.

Time to hunt Sauron.

(clevel:50, dlevel:112) Whew. Ok, that's it for Morgoth. It was a tough fight, but Spanky2 pulled it out. Morgoth broke out all his tricks. Mana storms and lots of summoning (Khamul, greater demons, and monsters) were the hardest hitting, though his melee was pretty punishing as well. Spanky2's AC isn't really very good, and Morgoth made that weakness pretty painful. As the battle was winding down, Vecna and his escort of liches finally woke up, which made the end of the battle especially rough. Vecna and Co. were coming from the west, a big horde of demons was coming from the southeast and Spanky2 was just about out of healing, but Morgoth only had 2 stars left. Spanky2 hung in there, and won the race against time and attrition. Morgoth went down just as the first liches started getting LOS, and Spanky2 grabbed Grond and the Iron Crown, and then fled.

Ok, that takes care of the first part of Spanky2's mission - killing Morgoth without using any artifacts.

Next up is part 2 - finding that stupid cloak of air. Assuming he eventually finds one, he can then head to part 3.

Part 3 - Killing Melkor without using artifacts.

(clevel:50, dlevel:127) Failure. Bah, humbug.

While hunting for a cloak of air in deep Angband, Spanky2 got into a running battle with some greater undead and, hmm, something that cast fireballs, but now I can't remember what. Finally, feeling a little beaten up, Spanky2 read a recall scroll and teleported away from the undead... landing right in the middle of a greater demon pit! He somehow survived the first round, but then when I tried to have him read another scroll of teleport, he didn't have any left (he was a little low to begin with, and the rest must have all been burned up by the fireballs) and accidentally read a WoR scroll instead. It not only didn't get him out of the pit, it also wasted a move (and cancelled the recall, adding insult to injury) and they killed him on the next move. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Oh well. It was still fun.

Congratulations on the win!
It seems that your character had much more trouble with Morgoth than mine - not that surprising considering you couldn't immobilize or genocide everything around.

Heh, these Cloaks of Air sure are painful to find. And we could't even use the Phial of Undeath.

I think that I'll rather start another artifactless character, this time with ironman rooms, than scum for the cloak to take on Melkor. We'll see.

Anyway, I agree with you, artifactless characters are fun!

They are indeed fun. Generally, I agree that curse was pretty much the difference in our respective battles vs Morgoth.

Finally, I'm still surprised I couldn't find a cloak of air. They're rare, but they're not THAT rare. Oh well.

Part of the reason Spanky2 crashed to a halt is that I'm a bit ToME'd out at this point. I'll probably play other bands for a bit, but even Theme doesn't really hold me very well these days. Its probably time for me to take a break from ToME for a while. Maybe until 3.0 comes out.

Whoa !! Impressive win without any Artifacts. My Aesterin character is draped from head-to-toe in them and still miles behind Spanky. What's the bet you find a Cloak of Air early on with your next character when you're not going for Melkor. ;-)
