After my last warrior picked up 3 -Rockets and 2 -Dragon Frost by day 270, I figured it was time to try my luck with a Magic Eater. But my luck was not so good ... at least as far as magic items goes. It took until day 518 to get my first good magic item (Dragon's Breath). I did however, pick up Telepathy almost immediately.

So, after some careful dragon extermination, I now face the Cloning Pits. With my horrible stealth, everything is awake.

Wow! Caspanion and Thorin. 3 hours in and I now cover all resistances.

I sold out for DQII ... really, it wasn't too bad. The Iron Liches were formidable, but I went in heavy with loads of healing and resistance.

So, I get a _Healing for the reward. How high should I try to charge it? On the one hand, I'm greedy and want as many charges as possible. On the other hand, I am unlikely to find another _Healing until DL80 or so, and it will be really hard to play a magic eater without it. So, after 3 ?Recharging I was up to 8 charges. I risked a fourth, and sighed with relief. Except the staff remained on 8 charges (I hate when that happens). So, I absorbed it ... Better 8 charges now then 0 for the foreseeable future! Dave, you are the Magic Eater champion. How high do you charge -Rockets, -Disintegrate and _Healing?

I'd like some *Destruction* ... Perhaps, with all resistances covered, I can risk the bottom of the lair?

10 is generally pretty safe. For my first one though, I'll usually try to insist on 12. You should always recharge with scrolls, as they have the highest "power".

Occasionally, your device will be drained of all charges or will not increase in charge, but I'd say it's at least 70% that you'll make to 10 without it blowing up? Also, I think Staff is easier to get to high charges than wands, but that may just be my luck. You could also save up a bunch and get them to 5 charges (staff) and 4 charges (wand) at Zul before supercharging, if you want to be really safe.

BTW, I see you only have 34 charges of CLW. I usually max that to 99 ASAP, because more charges also means it recharges faster. Maybe not so important for a Barbarian with Berserk self.

On 16.4.2010 03:56 dzhang@its.caltech.edu wrote:
Eh... wait, why are you worried about not having healing? You have over 40 !oHealing, and it's not like you'll really need them in the end game. I'd definitely risk blowing up my first Staff of Healing to get it to up to 12 in your situation.

On 16.4.2010 04:25 dzhang@its.caltech.edu wrote:
OK Chris, here are some statistics for you.

I loaded up a Debug mode character, a human magic-eater, and boosted him to lvl 50. I gave him 50 _oHealing, each with 5 charges (because you can get to 5 with Zul). I'd keep ?oRecharging until it gets to 10 or higher.

The results:

7 staff w/ 12 charges
21 staff w/ 11 charges
16 staff w/ 10 charges.

That's a total of 44 / 50, so a success rate of 88% to get to 10 charges on Staff of Healing.

On 16.4.2010 04:31 dzhang@its.caltech.edu wrote:
It's an IID distribution, and my sample size is 50, so that means the error bars on the success rate is 4.6% per standard deviation.. that means there's over 99.9% chance the real success rate is above 75% (whew, I guess I was right when I guesstimated that 70% number)

On 16.4.2010 05:30 chris wrote:
Wow ... I just have had really bad luck in the past getting so high, but my sample sizes have been small. I hereby resolve to *super charge* with this guy.

_Healing: I stopped on 8. Seriously, if I blew it up, I don't know what I'd be doing right now. I've healed myself about 100 times so far, so those 40 potions aren't looking so great. (Of course, my tatics have changed having intrinsic healing).

-Striking: I took your advice and pushed to 11.
_Holiness: 10.
-Dragon's Flame: 12.
-Dragon's Frost: 11 then 10 for 16 total.
-Dragon's Breath: 9.

So, I've been doing good so far. Nothing has blown up yet ...

Healing is saving my sorry butt ... 7% fail at the moment. Even fighting Hell Wyrms with double fire resist requires at least 1 charge, and I had a scary moment with a Venom Wyrm breathing two turns in a row (after I failed my healing). That brought me down to 100hp!

My melee is rather weak, but I have a good arsenal of dragon breath. I'll hang at the bottom of the lair, determined to find the Jewel of Judgment for once. I've only had one magic eater ever find the Jewel out of about 6 or 7 high level attempts.

Some spoilers ... If I am reading source correctly (spells3.c), then a wand of rockets will blow up as follows:
4 charges: 1 in 7
6 charges: 1 in 6
8 charges: 1 in 5

Assuming you go 4->6->8->10 then you only have a 57% chance of charging a wand of rockets up to 10 charges. But my experience is that you get 2 charges on a boost only if you are lucky ...

Fails: 1 in (100 + power - lev -
(8 * o_ptr->pval)) / 15

Power on a scroll is 130. Rockets are level 80 items.
When you fail, 2/3 chance of destroying. 1/3 chance of just draining all charges.

Are these stored as integers? (4 charges should be 1 in 7.87, is the 7.87 rounded down to 7?)

What level is Staff of Healing? Is the interpretation consistent with 5 -> 10 being about 88% probability?

On 16.4.2010 06:51 dzhang@its.caltech.edu wrote:
Also, 1/3 chance of draining all charges means you can try again. The 57% should actually be 67% (normally 4/7, but in 1/7 you get to start over, so chance of getting to 10 vs blow up is 4/6).

On the other hand, I do remember Wands of Rockets blowing up more than Staves of Healing.

On 16.4.2010 15:13 chris wrote:
Yup ... integers always do a floor operation on division. So 118/15 is 7. 102/15 is 6 and 86/15 is 5. You are right about the 1 in 3 start over ... 57% is overly pessimisitic. But for a magic eater, the first gulp is oh so important. I'm definitely going for 10 on my first rockets!

Rockets are actually DL75 items, not DL80 items, so I really messed up my calcs
Charges: Fail
4: 1 in 8
6: 1 in 7
8: 1 in 6
10: 1 in 5

Healing is a DL70 item and the odds work out to be the same. So 5/8 chance (assuming 4->6->8->10 on 3 ?Recharge) without a hitch. 1/8 chance you fail and get to start again, but I'm do dumb to work out the odds :P But 75% chance of success now seems likely.

_*Destruction: 13 charges. Next one blew up on 7 charges.
_ManaStorm: 10 charges ... but fail rate is still too high at 40%.

So, I shuffled my equipment for Incanus and Zarcuthra, turning on the aggravation while also maxing my Int. Mana Storm is down to 22%. In order to punish me, I just spotted an off screen Combat Echizen in my freakin' line of sight! He took a move to cast Invulnerability, though, rather than just killing me. Sheez ...

Another _Destruction blew up with only 7 charges ... So I have blown up 2 in a row! I'll keep trying ...

Got Laputa from a Balance Dragon and entourage. That leaves only the Jewel remaining. Unfortunately, I already killed Dworkin.

Hm, Chris, I just noticed something else. For my _oHealing experiment, I would never try to Recharge when the staff was already 10 charges, which means that all the 12's were 9-> 12. That means there's at least a 7 / 44 = 15.9% chance that you gain 3 charges on a ?oRecharging, even at 9 charges (plus some of the 11's might actually be 8->11). That's also going to improve the odds to hitting 10 or more charges. Plus I started at 5 charges instead of 4.

In a best case scenario for _oHealing, going 5->8->10/11 would be 7/8 * 5/6 = 73% chance of immediate success, 105/131 = 80% chance of eventual success. So my debug character did get somewhat lucky, but not hugely so.

Well, its moot now. Double move insta-death from a Great Wyrm of Law.
