Just chatting about a game

They aren't always for sale, but you can use heroism instead. And soon enough you'll be resistant to fear in any case (warrior CL 30.)

[Petoften]

You can cancel a Word of Recall with a scroll, which you probably have and no longer need if you have a rod of WoR

But be careful not to accidentally zap that rod once you have no way to cancel it. I engrave them {!*}

Ah crap I had no idea. I dropped the scrolls when the rod cast it and doubt I can get back to them before it takes effect.

And if using the rod a second time would cancel it, it's still recharging. Any idea if potions of berserk strength are always sold so I can pick what to keep?

I used a new rod on the level after seeing there's a room of loot and killing the monsters - just in time that I'm gonna get ported out before looting...

[Petoften]

Are potions of berserk strength always for sale? Deciding whether to drop them to make room for an unidentified staff.

[Petoften]

Found three potions of strength, and a ring of light I think I'll drop...

[Petoften]

Drank it, nice bonuses... e.g. str 18/110 to 18/148, dex 18/32 to 18/51.

[Petoften]

Found a potion of augmentation, and boots of stability... drink it now?

Using boots of +3 speed, will likely keep using them.

[Petoften]

The way to determine whether you are better with damage or DEX is to examine your weapon in both configurations. Whichever gives higher damage is better. Usually, it's damage with light weapons and DEX with heavy ones and fewer blows.

Huge benefit to the damage ring.

The dex ring increases hits from 5.5 to 6.1, but lowers damage 232 to 189.

[Petoften]

Should I just junk the rapier of *animal slaying*?

Doubling 1d6 damage doesn't help much nor an INT increase.

Found a ring of DEX +3 so using that and resist poison, both damage rings off.

Now STR 18/110 DEX 18/62.

[Petoften]

Killed the dragons. Now found a rapier of *animal slaying*, but that doesn't look very useful.

[Petoften]

* Ancient Multi-hued Dragon

In a room with a mature multi-hued dragon now... hm.

[Petoften]

Update, clvl 30, dlvl 38... found my first gravity hounds, they weren't bad.
