Hitting bottom with my Hobbit rogue

[Jay]

I think it's time for my little hobbit rogue to retire — he's hit dlvl 127 and can't go any further and he's starting to get cocky. (He's taken to drinking potions of augmentation because he "likes the taste," or so he tells me. Most expensive party beverage ever.)

Anyway, he's my first winner and I'm a bit reluctant to let him go. I actually hadn't planned on playing much after Morgoth's demise, but it turned out that vaults seemed to occur much more frequently past dlvl 100. Plus, I started finding great stuff -- Narya showed up at 104 and Cubragol at 105, and having immunity to acid (Thorin), cold (Nenya), and fire (Narya) in addition to the speed boost made him pretty indestructible. Stormwalker appeared at 107 and that gave me immunity from all the basic elements.

I haven't played in a while but kudos to whoever improved the user interface — I seem to remember having more than one rod of a single type and having them take up an extra inventory slot when they were recharging, which was a royal pain.

Here's a dump of the final character:

I think it's time for my little hobbit rogue to retire — he's hit dlvl 127 and can't go any further and he's starting to get cocky. (He's taken to drinking potions of augmentation because he "likes the taste," or so he tells me. Most expensive party beverage ever.)

Considering how long you have played and depth and version, your artifact gear is not surprising but this is:


b) a Ring of Speed <+20>
Dropped by a Mature black dragon at 6350 feet (level 127).

+20 speed.


That's supercharged a lot. Anybody have any idea how rare that is?

Roughly one in six thousand - not as rare as you might think (though six thousand speed rings is a lot of games). The base pval is 4+M6, so slightly better than one in six chance of +10 deep in the dungeon. Then one in 2^10 for the second +10 (one in two for each plus).

Also that was from mature dragon drop, so it is normal drop, not a good one, so no additional bonus from "good" drops. 6000 RoS is a lot.

Do you have any data how many RoS "usual" game generates? IIRC you devs have some sort of game simulator to figure out rarities.

Ah, thanks! My eyes bugged out a bit when I found that and I wondered at the time how unusual a +20 RoS was.

Do vaults also show up more frequently at depth? Or were they just showing up because I didn't desperately need them to show up any more? I found a GCV at dlvl 127 on my last trip down before I retired the character.

Yes, we do. In 3.3.0, the average is 24.19 speed rings per game - but that's clearing all 100 levels and killing everything. So an average real win would probably see no more than 12. So that +20 equates to, at a very rough guess, a find of once in five hundred wins. (Not games where you die halfway, but wins.)

Sorry, we don't yet capture stats on dungeon levels, though this should happen for 3.4 I hope (or maybe 3.5). But in general you are more likely to find vaults deeper. (I don't know exactly how vault generation works, but I assume this is true as it fits the observed cases.)
