Hi all.
I've been playing Angband on and off for... Well a long time. I've never managed to win.
I decided to have another go at playing, since despite never killing the big P I always enjoy myself, and after reading on these forums I decided I should try diving.
So I created my character and off I went into the dark, deep yonder. Funny thing. I died.
Now I know that this is going to happen to me and I've tried several times so and I'm not adverse to having characters snuff it. What I would like to check is that I am approaching diving. I get the impression that people go down very fast till they reach the levels where stat gain is common but I tend to get to lvl 10 and die. My question is really a simple How Fast?
How fast should I be going down levels, I tend to skip lvl 1, level up on dl 2 and then carry on to 3. I'm playing a human ranger (maybe that's part of my problem I don't know) so by the time I hit lvl four, even if I just look for the stairs I'm usually CL 3-4 I'm basically going down roughly in sync with my CL...
Any tips on what I can do to get a bit more success?
