Equipment Question

[Driftwood]

So I found a lot of stuff in a shrot time. No room for all of it in home inventory. I'm asking what I should be wearing, what I should keep aside, and what I should sell. Cause I don't even know where to start.

Playing Dunedan Warrior, version 3.2.0

Here's my current character dump


Thank you.

Just a quick remark: what is really unusual in your kit is that ring of accuracy. A ring of damage is more typical for a warrior. Also, consider bringing along Theoden: carry it while exploring the dungeon, and swap to Hurin (or whatever has the biggest damage) only for dangerous fights. Having ESP improves your survivability a lot at these depths.

[Driftwood]

I'm working on replacing that. Of course once I want one, I can't get a ring of damage to drop, right?

found some dmg rings and im on depth 33 with my warrior, they are dropped around 30 or a bit lower. Im fearing basilisks and avoid them cause im lacking poisR, found an green dragon scale mail but they offered only that stat

[fph]

You can just keep avoiding basilisks. There is no rule that says you have to fight everything. That's an important thing to keep in mind as you move deeper.
Drolems (together with various ancient dragons) are more dangerous poison breathers, but they are native below DL50. I think they won't be able to one-shot you from a distance in the most recent versions, so just don't get close to them.

If you find a lighter item that gives poison resistance, you could carry it along as a swap item. Or just forget about the light part and carry with you the dragon scale mail, you have plenty of strength.

I did find some rings of Damage. Also of Slaying. And some other stuff. I put a new char dump up at original link. Starting to *kind of* figure out how to read the stats on items.

What resources have you found so far, other than this forum?

a) (nothing)

switching to hard difficulty level?

[Driftwood]

I had it all in my inventory to compare easily. I now have some nice stuff.

I have few resources outside of here at this point.

(+a, +b) is (to hit, to damage). [+40] is armor. (+c) is stat bonuses.

Anyway, that character is starting to look endgame-powerful. If it were me, I would consider diving straight to level 90. It's not much more dangerous than where you are, and you can find rings of speed. Be *very* careful around uniques; the Tarrasque kills a lot of inexperienced players.
Now you should be looking for rings of speed, and for a source of ESP that does not require you to swap. You want speed at least 20 (30 hasted) for the endgame fights.
Start stockpiling some consumables for those fights: potions of *healing* and life, scrolls of genocide and mass genocide, scrolls of *destruction*, and if you find them rods of teleport other, rods of healing. Staffs are less useful because their charges will get drained. If you find them, scrolls of rune of protection can be useful since you are going to melee Morgoth.

You should probably be carrying wands (or rods) of teleport other; despite the fail rate, they are very useful to crack open vaults: that's where the best stuff is.

Once you have pBlind and pConf, you can safely use scrolls of teleport rather than staffs: they have 0 failure.

[Adam]

Is staff of healing useful in the final fights? Both of them drains charges and a warrior will melee and is not likely to recharge the staff.

I came back to the game after a decade+ away, and collected much of what I learned here:

There have been some strides towards a full-fledged Wiki, but I think it's still pretty sparse at this point:
wiki.angband.live

[Nick]

Don't forget the official documentation.

[DavidMedley]

Yes, that's a much better place to start. I just didn't have the link handy. It's a bit out of date in places, but much more put together.
