Crazy man! I'm thinking +2 moves is super for a mage--but not so much for a melee class like Paladins.
I play paladins--they are very slow. I'm pretty sure my current one is going to win with 2 speed rings, boots +10 speed, Gondor!, Thorin, Fingolfin!
just trying to get my darkness/nether resists together. I think 2 po Life and 19 *Healing* shld do, but I would like more than 1 rune of protection... Best weapons are Orome, Thunderfist, Blade O chaos HA and Scythe o slcing *Slay Undead* :-)

.....angband in 2hr 25mins...
Sorry no vid of this one.....gave up recording them.
High Elf mage when it all comes together.
Lots of INT items early (probably the most important)
3 wands of clone monster then dive to stupid depths till you find a druj.
Enroute I found Arcane and Tomb of power. Eye druj at 2hrs game time, level 29, depth 2950ft.
5 mins later level 50.
Still slow though. Found boots of +2 moves.... not sure about those, but had no time to look for boots of speed. At Morgoth I was speed +2.3.... but all worked out... 2hr23 kill Morgoth time. 2hr25mis retired
:-)
Is 2hrs possible.... yeah... but you need to be insanely INSANELY lucky!

this third speedrun... again under 3 hrs has a seemingly impossible ending.
with 15 mins left I only have about +10 speed and am only at 3800ft! (lv75)
I have no staff of speed, only a handful of potions of speed, and have less than 15 minutes to descend 1200ft and kill Sauron and Morgoth! :-/

Yeah skipping the con potion farm was the step I knew could improve the time - I think I posted about it earlier.
So how would a rogue compare to this ?
Key item would be 1-2 wands of annihilation to kill the end bosses with, xp potions to level up, diving can be accomplished with ?deep descent and the rogue's trump card is of course item detection which puts him in a position to find all this more easily. Also, a good weapon to kill things with is probably harder to find than mana bolt. My guess is that rogue cant beat mage, but I am not sure.Last edited by Estie; September 22, 2022, 15:04.Leave a comment:

second speed run under 3 hrs.
This one was VERY different. Only level 40 on completing the game!
Not enough HP to take a mana storm from morgoth.... and very slightly slower than him!!
A lot of luck still needed though. Bizarrely I had a game the other day where i found a ring of speed +9 at 200ft..... but couldnt find other key items quickly enough and in the end it took almost 5 hrs!
ESSENTIAL items, Arcane control. Without dimension door you cannot descend quickly enough. You have to go down 100 levels in 180 mins. 2mins per level on average!
Clone monster. Without it you cannot quickly get to level 35 and get dimension door.Leave a comment:

I agree, you should do it as a "and now for something completely different" episode on your channel.

BOOM!!! Angband in UNDER 3 hrs!!!!
.....years ago I remember seeing someone on this forum saying a speedrun of angband could be probably done in less than 3 hrs!..... and my thought was NO WAY....
that was back in the days when it typically took me 2 days to finish the game.
Now.... I give you Angband in less than 3 hrs!
You MUST get lucky to do this. The most important combo being Arcane power and clone monster. In this game I managed to clone enough eye drujs to get level 49 by the 2hr mark.
Even then you this is useless without enough speed or mana!
I had 6 potions of mana to take on both Sauron and Morgoth!
