So, basically you're suggesting I dive to dungeon level 10, where it will be easier to get up to character level 10.

Well, I already have the scrolls of Word of Recall that I need...

I'll take the advice of ignoring Smeagol. How easy will it be to meet him again though?

----------

I run into a gang of novice mages and priests. I waste my arrows on a brown mold, then whack it with my dagger to get character level 9. I waste my arrows again on a rot jelly. I don't feel like finishing off this creature with my dagger.

After facing another gang of priests and mages, I decide to test my two unidentified wands on the rot jelly. They turn out to be a wand of wander and a wand of magic missile. This time I kill off the rot jelly and get back some of my arrows.

I find my first rod. I test it on a spotted mushroom patch; it turns out to be a rod of slow monster. I also try out another unidentified wand I found after meeting the last gang of p's on the mushroom patch, revealing it to be a wand of Stinking Cloud.

I find another brown mold that gains me a character level.

I try to disarm a strange rune. It teleports me to a room with a single giant white louse. There's no door in sight. Stricken with terror, I run as fast as I can to the nearest staircase, striking down a bewildered kobold on my way.

I'm on dungeon level 7 now. By Detecting Evil, I find out there is a baby gold dragon and a baby white dragon. I need to be cautious.

However, it turns out that the real challenge of this dungeon is not the baby dragons, but Bullroarer the Hobbit.

I don't have enough mana to Bless myself, so I try straight combat for a few rounds. Bullroarer stunned me and brings me down to 38 hit points, so I read a scroll of Phase Door.

I'm trapped in a room with Bullroarer closing in. I zap him with my Slow Monster rod, which does nothing. He steps next to me, so I read another Phase Door scroll.

This time I zap Bullroarer with my wand of Stinking Cloud, making him scream in agony. This makes me confident to stab him with my dagger. I am too confident though, and I am still stunned. Bullroarer brings me down to two hit points. Yes, only two. I read another Phase Door. It doesn't help; Bullroarer still gets right next to me.

I drop my lantern, which overflows out of my backpack, and have a well-deserved rest. I have no room for either the lantern or Bullroarer's treasure in my backpack, so I drink some more unidentified potions. One is a potion of Infravision, the other is a bottle of salt water.

I explore some more after picking up my spoils. I see a war hammer on the floor that I think about picking up. I have no room in my backpack though, so I read a couple of unidentified scrolls. One is a scroll of Darkness. That is nothing special, but another scroll I try out is a scroll of teleport level, which brings me up to level 6. At this point I decide I might as well teleport to the town, though not before picking up another wand of stinking cloud that was in the room.

I first sell my unidentified scrolls to the alchemy shop, which is a much better way to identify them. I buy some scrolls of Identify to figure out what stuff I have.

First I identify the drops from Bullroarer. The robe is nothing special, just a +1 AC bonus. The cutlass, on the other hand, is a cutlass of Westerness! I'm going to miss the extra blows from my dagger, but I'm pretty sure it's worth it. As for the slings, one is good while the other is junk, which didn't surprise me much.*

I am very disappointed that the temple doesn't have the next prayer book I need in stock. I can learn four new prayers but can't learn any more prayers from my current book.

I buy food, more Word of Recalls, more Phase Doors, and a staff of Identify. I read one of my Word of Recalls back down to dungeon level 7.

* What's the difference between slings and bows. I don't remember what the numbers besides them mean. I only have one shot per turn with both my short bow and my sling, but the sling has more plusses. Is it worth switching?

**will_asher** · May 31, 2009, 03:22

The sling is better. They have the same multiplier (x2), the only drawback of the sling is heavier ammo.
I don't remember if long bows are still carried in the town stores in 3.1.0, but if they are, you should get one as soon as you can afford it.

One of the most important things for newbies to learn in Angband is that you don't have to kill everything and you shouldn't try. There's no reason to bother with brown molds or rot jellies. Just ignore them.

Another important thing to learn: Along as you have recall, you should go down stairs. When you find stairs leading down and don't know of any worthwhile treasure to get on the current level, take the stairs. It'd be safer to carry a couple more than 2 recall scrolls in case a couple get burnt up by salamanders.

**Mondkalb** · May 31, 2009, 06:38

The Weapon of Westernesse is vital for you - see invisible and free action in particular are necessary to survive in deeper levels.

Visit the Black Market whenever you are in town - a ring of dexterity will rise the number of blows you get with it.

Don't ever take this weapon off in the dungeon until you found boots of fa, a ring of fa or any other source.

Beware of hordes of mages, they will soon show up. They will swarm and attack you from all sides, summoning creatures for help and also casting magic spells which may damage parts of your inventory.

And later on the elemental hounds will do the same and they turn up in large groups (you cannot detect them with "detect evil").

Your fight with Bullroarer was pretty close. He has killed some of my characters since he is quite fast and tough.

Be cautious with the next uniques you encounter, they are all rather tough and come with large escorts of orcs.

Novice mages summon now? and cast elemental spells? When did this happen? Or do the tougher mages come in groups now?

**Mondkalb** · May 31, 2009, 15:21

Gnome mages can summon monsters. They show up around 750 feet / level 15.

First I need to be able to make enough money for the Black Market to be useful.

I'm really not sure how I'm supposed to get all of the resistances I need beyond relying on sheer luck.

----------

To recap, I have character level 10 and am on dungeon level 7. I Detect Evil and see a skeleton kobold, a green glutton ghost, a cave orc, and Smeagol. I'll explore the rest of the dungeon before deciding if I should take on Smeagol or not.

I find some arrows and, later, a long bow. The arrows have frost brands, so I quickly switch to my long bow even though it has no enchantments.

I identify a potion of Berserk Strength, which gets squelched for some reason.

At some point I notice I gained level 11. I don't remember how.

I find a gang of novice priests and novice rogues. Looking back, p's have being coming in larger groups than I remember in previous Angband versions (or maybe I just never got this deep).

I decide to take on Smeagol. Reckless? Maybe. But while he can take my gold, I don't think he can kill me.

I lost the screenshot of where I first meet Smeagol. Basically, there is a room with a hallway loop around it and a door on its south side. I'm in the hallway to the right of the door. Smeagol just exited the door, and there is a cave orc east of me. I Bless myself, smite the orc, then fire a couple of magic missiles at Smeagol. The demented hobbit merely shrugs them off. By the time he closes in on me, I decide to drink my potion of Berserk Strength (the one that got squelched).

To my dismay, Smeagol pick-pocketed me and ran off.

I Bless myself when I get in range of Smeagol again. I try firing one of my frost arrows, but miss, so I try hitting Smeagol a few times.

The damn bastard steals more gold from me and teleports. I don't remember him being so freaking tough! I Bless myself when we meet again. I try battling Smeagol some more, and again he steals gold from me and teleports! He's even outside my Detect Evil range now! Truly Smeagol is a curse that must be wiped from the earth. Somehow, I meet Smeagol again once more. I stab him a little, only for him to take more of my coins. This time when I try Detecting Evil, I'm told that I detect evil but nothing shows up on the map!

I only find Smeagol again by accident.

And what do I gain? 26 gold and my old frost arrow. Compare to the fact that Smeagol took a total of 261 gold from me. I'm dissapointed that Angband doesn't have monster corpses like Hengband does where I can collect the corpses of uniques I've killed and put them in my home or give them to the museum.

P.S. Is it possible for Angband to record "movies" like it can take screenshots. I think T.o.M.E. is able to do this.

P.P.S.

I'm dissapointed that Angband doesn't have monster corpses like Hengband does where I can collect the corpses of uniques I've killed and put them in my home....

Hello Charles Manson ... and Smeagol's the freak?

when you start getting gold (basically pick up things that will make you money in the dungeon-- ego weapons, wands/staves (you'll figure out which ones are worthwhile pretty fast)-- you should start getting your longbow and weapon enchanted with +dam as fast as you can. longbow does x3 whatever your +dam is. So, with unenchanted arrows:

longbow (0,0)= 3*((1+4)/2+0)=7.5 damage
(0,1)=10.5 dam
(0,2)=13.5 (doubled your firepower for about 260 gold)
(0,3)=16.5
. . .

you should be able to get most things up to +9/+9-- more powerfully enchanted weapons exist in the black market or the dungeon.

The deeper you go, the more nice equipment will show up in both the stores and on the floor (I think you'll start seeing more egos around dlvl 20). Don't be afraid to bully weaker monsters that drop things (hello, snagas)-- it's a good way to get loot.

Sell the rod of slow monster, and don't bother picking up eq that is merely good unless it's better than what you have on-- it's not worth enough money to justify filling your slots. Also, hold onto your arrows of frost until you come across something big and scary that you can't escape-- when you get your bow more enchanted, they will do serious damage (x3 frost multiplier stacks with longbow x3 multiplier). Phase door and arrows are good for killing big uniques.

Have you squelched it before and confirmed it to be squelched in the future?

You can undo this option by entering the squelch menu:
press =
press s
press e
scroll down with the arrow key to the potion of berserk strength - it is probably marked with a red asterisk. Just press enter to remove the asterisk.
Press ESC until you are back to Angband.

It's not worth to hunt Smeagol. Leave the level if you can't beat him and kill him later.

For equipment, is this taking into account the costs of identifying everything? For example, is it worth carrying around a weapon for one dungeon level until I've pseudo-identified it, then deciding what to do with it? If I have a weapon that's pseudo-identified as {magical} or {excellent}, how much would shop keepers charge for those compared to fully identified items?

So, I need to dive faster?

Well, I did kill him, though it was costlier than I was expecting.

Can someone please explain to me how exactly I'm supposed to tell just how tough a monster is when I see it? Do I have to basically sacrifice a hundred characters until I know exactly what character level and equipment I need for every monster and unique?

That's the easiest way to get useful loot.

Most monsters can't kill you in a single turn (or even two), and those that can are usually scary in some obvious way.
The trick is to recognize early when a fight is not going your way and then run (or teleport other) immediately.

I descend a set of stairs to dungeon level 8. There is a metallic green centipede and a group of seven sleeping novice mages (no beds?). I dispatch the centipede, but it takes longer than I expected, and the mages wake up. I start firing my wand of Stinking Cloud, then start finishing them off with my wand of Magic Missiles. One mage has escaped out of the room. Due to laziness of targeting, I also wake up a creeping silver coins with my wand. There is one mage left in the room, and he blinds me for a few turns. Eventually, I finish off the remaining enemies in the room. As I pick up the treasure that is here, the mage that escaped returns. I zap him with a magic missile, dispatching him forever. One of the items of loot is a Rod of Treasure Location. Yay.

I encounter a horde of lemures in a hallway. As I fight them, a dark elven warrior also sneaks up on me. I make the dark elf run away, but the lemures are a greater hassle. I phase door a couple of times. Soon, some cave spiders enter the fray. I finish off the lemures, and the dark elf returns. I manage to kill the dark elf, then I enter the room with the spiders and shoot stinking clouds at them. In the room where the spiders were, I find an amulet that is of Slow Digestion when I identify it.

I find my first chest, this one being small and wooden. I move it to a more open spot and search it for traps. I find a trap, and I successfully disarm it. Opening it reveals a cache of coins.

I find a group of manes in another hallway. Killing one gets me character level 12.

At some point, I detect Wormtongue. I'll probably put off seeing him. After some more exploration, I take the next stairs down to dungeon level 9.

During my initial exploration, I detect Wormtongue again! It's still probably a good idea to avoid him.

At some point I run into a gang of hill orcs. I gain character level 13 through this.

I meet a gang of novice warriors in a hallway. At some point I want to get away, so I read Phase Door. This only puts me in the middle of the warriors. I read a Word of Recall, then I read another Phase Door, then I run away.

I'm yanked back to town. I sell off my excess stuff. I am finally able to buy my next two prayer books from the temple, and learn all those prayers I've been missing. I pick up a studded leather armour of resist lightning from the black market. Damn that was expensive. I buy more food, arrows, scrolls of Phase Door, scrolls of Words of Recall, and scrolls of Identify. I have to replace my metal cap since it got damaged by acid. Satisfied, I read a Word of Recall.

That money you wasted on the armor would have been much better used on a staff of teleportation. (Seems like one of us should've mentioned that in our earlier tips. sorry to be telling you too late..) Single-resist armor is not worth buying from the BM, but you're going to need a staff of teleportation.

**saarn** · June 1, 2009, 00:58

yeah, you'll need to pseudo id until you get enough cash to carry a stack of ?id or _perception. When something comes up as magic, if you have an ego on the same slot, kill it (but not for missiles-- magic arrows are worthwhile). In general, you should always ID items before selling them to shopkeepers-- they will not give you much more money (if any) based on pseudo ID. An excellent weapon will normally fetch around 5000 gold (more for the really nice ones). In fact, you may start hoarding them in your home as a sort of rainy-day fund (for when that armor of elvenkind shows up in the armory).

At least I didn't buy the potion of Charisma that was also in the black market...

----------

While exploring, I find a better cloak for me to wear.

I try disarming a dart trap. I trigger it, taking a hit to dexterity.

After killing some snagas and a lost soul, I gain character level 14. I can gain one prayer, but my level is too low for the remaining prayers in my books. Again.

I find another small wooden chest with some coins in it.

Bored, I descend to dungeon level 10.

I'm in a dark room. I first Detect Evil and sense a horde of orcs and no less than 3 baby dragons. When I get deeper in the level, I also detect Mughash the Kobold Lord and his army.

A one point I meet a gang of rangers. Things don't look dangerous until things started blinding, confusing, and poisoning me. Turns out a dark elven mage is also here. I read a scroll of Phase Door as soon as I can see and run. My run is cut short when the dark elf confuses me. I have to chug down potions of Cure Serious Wounds. I read a Word of Recall and another Phase Door. I'm able to get rid of the poison, but the dark elf keeps catching up to me. I'm down to 25 hit points. I wait, chugging down all of my healing potions. I'm down to one last potion of cure light wounds, and I'm finally in the town. I drink that last potion to get rid of my remaining poison.

Just my luck: no one is stocking potions of Restore Dexterity. Shouldn't the temple offer stock healing services? Anyway, I buy more Phase Doors, Words of Recall, and Identification scrolls. I use up the rest of my gold on potions of Cure Critical Wounds.

I Word of Recall back to the dungeon. During exploration, I face a bronze baby dragon. His confusion breath is not fun, and I used up most of my healing potions just to get rid of the confusion.

I battle another dark elf mage. With their poison and blindness, those guys are tough! I defeat him though, and am rewarded by a lantern of brightness.

I battle a gang of cave orcs and novice rangers. My reward is a ring of resist cold, a staff of Haste Monsters (ahem), and an amulet of adornment (ahem).

Fighting another dark elven mage gets me character level 15.

I fight a group of novice paladins keeping a herd of jackals, then another group of novice paladins teamed up with novice priests. I descend to dungeon level 11.

I am caught off-guard by Brodda the Easterling.

After three arrows, Brodda starts running away. I shoot him some more. Brodda drops some studded leather armour that only had a +3 AC bonus.

On a related note, a shovel I had picked up turned out to be magical. I replace my old shovel.

I try disarming a trap. It was a trap door, and I fall to level 12.

After several battles, a swordsman brings me to level 16.

While going down a long hallway, something casts poison and confuse on me. I drink a potion of Cure Critical Wounds to get rid of the confusion, then Phase Door out of the hallway. I Detect Evil and, sure enough, it's a dark elven mage. I decide to just go back to the town.

The alchemy shop finally has a potion of Restore Dexterity. I replace my metal cap with a better metal cap. I restock, and return to the dungeon.
