@Derakon:
Sure. But the main point is that there is no reason at all to wait in the shallower regions for any longer than you absolutely have to. If you are clearing DL 25 instead of taking the stairs down, you are just spinning your wheels. (Unless there is a good level feeling of course. Then you might spend a little time on it.)
I don't think that Petoften is paying attention to this part of the advice, though.Comment

Found a scroll of teleportation. No room for it, though it'd be handy since my staff of teleportation might not work.Comment

Things like the rod of mapping and rod of treasure finding don't seem to cover the whole level.Comment

New hardest fight so far on level 29 - 2 uniques, one was 'Azog King of the Huru-Kai'... more hard hitting high HP.
Had to take turns drinking cure critical wounds and attacking, after using the dragonbreath...Comment

Some more loot I'd like from the fight though... I have a nice sling but a [15,13] bow dropped...
Some Iron boots of speed (4,+11) [+3]
No idea what a robe of Elvenkind is, but doesn't sound good for a troll warrior.
OOOOHhhh the phial of galadriel! I assume I drop the everburning lamp now.Comment

OK, made it to l30... right away, more ranged mobs, first mob destroyed a ring...Comment

How many times have we heard this? Getting to CL 28 or so is actually pretty easy IF you dive. And it doesn't take very long to do it.
You'll lose that character soon enough, somewhere between DL 35 and dl 45 or so. Next time, try spending less time before DL 30 (and before DL 40.)
I actually recommend making a backup when you get to DL 40, then playing that character until you can get to DL 70 somewhat reliably. That is the hardest part of the game to learn, and you will learn faster if you aren't spending so much time just getting there.

It is savescumming in the letter of the law but not in the spirit. If you have a single checkpoint where you can get to reliably, it is a valuable learning tool. Real save scumming means making a bacmup whenever you feel like it, and it teaches bad habits. But hours of messing around before DL 40 teaches different bad habits.Comment

Full inv as usual...

Which potions (or other objects) do you actually use? See earlier comment about all the things that CCW is strictly better than.
Take a look at some recent characters on the ladder that are your class, and are roughly at your character level. What are they carrying and storing? They dropped everything else.
You have to figure sone of this out for yourself.Comment
