Ive quickly become engrossed in Angband. I'm amazed this game can be beaten; I kick and scream when I die at cl10. That's the highest ive gotten.
Basically, Ive been hovering just below town, occasionally going as deep as dl5, though once a scroll of deep descent brought me down to dl11 [scary]. The guides speak lot of the benefits of diving deep and being deliberate in that action. I find that when ive done that, I get overpowered before I can find the upstairs.
Tactically, does anyone see issue with hanging around the very upper levels of the dungeon to "grind" so to speak: getting gold, scrolls, experience? Do any of you do that? Can you share your technique for newly created characters? The guide had mentioned being able to go down to dl10 in the first go; My play style isnt that aggressive, and I haven't been able to do that successfully.
I find myself doing this specifically to get gold, as there is no selling. By cl10, Ive got the chain or scale mail, and a 1d10 trident or 2d5 pike, and a good hoard of scrolls, potions, torches, projectiles, etc.
I'm restarting my character atm, so how long should i stay with this technique? Stay shallow for a while, occasionally going deep? If Im going to beat this game, i gotta go deep so, should I just push it? Lot of though needed for this game.
My character is a ranger, and I typically play rangers.
Just looking for advice and conversation about this freekin great game. Been a long time since Ive played Moria and the like back in the day.
