    (V) Griff's Journey

    Been a while since I have played Angband on a regular basis but I picked it up again recently. been running around with a Westernesse weapon for a while and just switched over to a Holy Avenger. Have lucked out with the Artifacts so far and scored ones which were relevant to the Priest class.

    Stuck the dump in as a quote, if there's a better way a nice nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    GT

    Here is how I've gone so far:

    CODE tags (the # button) will give fixed width font, which makes the dump look better.

          Get yourself a big stackang of scrolls of enchant armor. Then go searching around the early levels until you find a disenchanter mold. Then take off everything except the helm. Then stand next to it until you get it disenchanted down to [5, +0]. Hmm -- not sure it can hit you easily with AC 15, might want to collect !berserk if you see them. Then read scrolls until it enchants. I can't vouch for 3.1, but in older versions that gives a 50% chance to break the curse. If it does not, lather rinse & repeat.

          Or you could just start up a new character.

            Bummer. On the one hand, 18/159 WIS is plenty at dl 26. On the other hand, +8,+8 fighting turns you into a weak paladin. On the first foot, aggravation sucks. On the second foot, Dwarf priest already has lousy stealth. So you aren't entirely crippled. You are just playing a challenge game.

            Eddie's idea of a disenchanter mold is intriguing. Another option is a suicide dive to 2500' and hope to find a Scroll of *Remove Curse* (and/or Godly Insights) using a rod of Object Detection. Unfortunately, your chance of getting blown away by a Drolem is pretty high with aggravation.

              Luck is with me, I scored Godly Insights today.

              How would it help, apart from using all the detects to see what's happening around me?

              As for Eddie's idea, I'll see if I can swing it.

                In case I wasn't clear, just enchant to +1, then disenchant again. Each successful enchantment past 0 hopefully has a 50% chance of breaking the curse. OTOH, HEAVY_CURSEs are, or at least were, reportedly buggy in some 3.1.x releases. I don't know how safe it is to upgrade to the most recent nightly build, but that may be required before even ?*REM_CURSE would have a chance to work.

                  Met a disenchant mould down at 1900', dropped everything and got Gorlim back to 0. Went back to town and ?EnchArmour and uncursed Gorlim on the first scroll. Couldn't remove it though. Read another scroll and made it +2 and still couldn't remove it.

                  Will track down a ?*RemCurse and see how that goes.

                    Godly insights will let you detect non-evil stuff like Drolems, which will otherwise kill you if you go down aggravating. It's a huge lifesaver, the most important single find in the game for a Priest.

                      If it says "uncursed" and does not come off, you need a new executable with the bug fixed. That scroll won't help. Another alternative is maybe someone can walk you through the steps to get rid of it using wizard mode if you don't mind having your savefile marked as a cheater.

                        Not keen on the wizard mode, unless as a last resort, but if it's a bug, then I can live with that.

                        Will try a new executable first. I assume the latest nightly update would suffice?

                        Thanks for the advice.

                          It's a bug, and you probably need to fix it by hand, either by wizard mode or with the debugger.
