    Yeah any time I see one I tend to teleport it away. It's a shame because there are a few uniques I'd love to kill that breathe shards, but I'll probably have to wait until I can pick up the resistance.

      Resistance for big four & nether is not that reliable. You might get 6/7 max damage anyway (550 -> 471 in case of nether, 500 -> 428 in case of rest of them).

      I rely on just damaging them ASAP, because they need 500*6 = 3000 HP to make max damage (in case of big four) and as soon as it drops below that breath starts to lose power. There are only two shard-breather uniques with lot of HP over 3000, and from normal monsters only Gelugon, Law dragon and Balance dragon reach 3000 and only Gelugon from those three move at speed +20.

      If you really want rShard easiest way to get it is with cloak of protection. Your current cloak gives you only +2 speed and stealth over one of those and with haste you should have more than enough to wipe floor with any of the normal ones. Uniques are a bit tougher. Deeper you find better than +9 RoS really really often (looks like it's more common now than it used to be. Maybe.)

          Yeah ... sadly I've had entirely too much free time over the last few days and haven't been able to pull myself away.

          At least I'm getting sucked into a turn based game instead of back into something like WoW, so even during my heaviest binges I can still manage to get a few simple tasks accomplished.

            Been a fairly slow day at work today (I'm in IT) so I got to get a little game time in. Hit a rather exciting GCV at dlvl 87. Inside I found Fundin Bluecloak, Drauglin, Maeglin, Tselakus, Witch-King Angmar, Qlzqqlzuup, Thuringwethil, Glaurung, Tarresque, Carcharoth, and Pazuzu.

            I ended up killing all but the last 4. I didn't particularly like the conditions I was fighting them in, so I teleported those guys away. Fortunately it was in one of those large, zig-zagging cell vaults so I didn't need to fight them all together. The scary part was I managed to get through it all with no healing besides 14 CCW potions and 1 healing potion. I had 4 CCW's left to spare by the time I picked up all my loot and recalled home. Made it out with Narya, Elros, and Cambeleg. A few more artifacts dropped, but were left behind.

            The unfortunate thing is now all I have left for healing consumables are the 4 CCW potions I had left over and a small stack of *healing* I have stashed at home for the final battles. It would appear the shop has yet to restock, so I can't even buy more CCW's atm. I suppose I could store scum for some, or go back down and hope I can find some in my travels.

              If you are sufficiently wealthy, you can buy out a store to restock its contents. I've never been adverse to doing this, and would consider it to be preferable to killing time for the stores to restock, at the expense of gold you probably don't need anyway. Maybe others consider this unethical, I dunno. If I can afford to buy out the black market I sometimes do at the end game. It's rarely profitable.

                Ah I didn't know they repopulated that way. I've got quite a bit of gold, and can't imagine anything I would need to spend it on at this point.

                I assume you need to completely buy out their entire stock to initiate a refresh?

                  Yes, you just buy until you can't hold any more, then drop it outside the store and repeat until it's all gone. Then, voila! I remember reading somewhere on this forum about a guy who made a script or something that would do all this with the press of a button. My way is laborious. Maybe somebody will walk by and give us the pro-tip shop-restock method.

                    PowerDiver (a.k.a. Eddie) modified his version of the game to have a buyout button which would just buy everything in the store and then destroy it all (IIRC). For whatever reason this wasn't considered something that the "true" game should have. I think we're still trying to figure out exactly how the town should work; in the meantime things are kind of halfway to nowhere.

                      I think, town shops should have some decent stock of basic supports after a certain level.
                      Gold has no meaning at the end of the game and if there were no consumables it would only result in buy outs or level scumming. So why not make at least CCW available for sure?

                        I suppose I can see the issue from both sides.

                        From the side of the player fighting for his life, he wants to have all the resources he needs available to him when he needs it. One might argue that from a design stand point part of the challenge is managing consumables. That being said, at the end of the game CCW potions are far from the "oh shit" button that a *healing* potion is, but are far better than nothing.

                        I suppose either way it's sort of a moot point since you can "work the system" with store scumming and/or buying out the vendor.

                          Very annoying when the shops don't have the basic spellbooks. Then I go rest up on L1 for 30K turns just to come back up and there's only *1* of the spellbook. Darn it, I told you to hold 3 for me! If you didn't have a monopoly I would take my business to a different store!

                            Worse is when you are playing a mage with no selling and Magic for Beginners isn't available for sale at the start of the game. That just begs for suicide and start over.

                              Well here I am finally at dlvl 98. I've got most of the troublesome uniques down besides the Tarrasque. I've been too scared to fight him every time I've seen him, but I feel like I want to try to kill him before taking on Sauron and Morgoth. Was hoping to find the other ring of power first that gives me cold immunity. I want to nullify as many of his breaths as possible.

                              Besides that, what else should I be looking for before taking them on?

                                Nothing. You already have a lot better gear than I usually have when I wipe the floor with Morgoth. Just remember that you need to be 30+ speed against him (swap BOS +10 in place of Dal-i-Thalion for that).

                                Speaking of BoS, that definitely should count as best below "only artifacts", so why does it have {squelch} in it? Maybe inscribe !k!d for it.
