The fourth of my identical brigands. The first to succeed in her quest. Killed Gulfimbul and claimed reward in 6522 turns. He dropped a half way decent spear and shield. The quest reward was a long bow of accuracy, very nice. Still short on cash, but am confident I can reach the teen DL's now without a problem.

I'm not really familiar with quests or NPP. Would it be wise to take on another quest right away?

I've been doing mostly monster/unique quests one after another. It ends up being mostly monster quests. I tried one level quest which was creeping coins but I was no match for the creeping diamonds. I did collect some cash on that one though. I don't know if the reward is commensurate with the hassle of those level quests -- going after almost 300 creeping coins is a lot of work.

8347 turns. My 2nd quest for 12 panthers was a pushover and netted me a potion of dexterity. The upcoming quest for swordsmen shouldn't be any harder. Picked up a scroll of teleportation at the BM. It's the closest thing I have to a real escape, not that I need one right now.

10075 turns. The swordsmen quest (STR+1) was easy, as anticipated and the upcoming quest for half-orcs should be no harder. Picked up a wand of TO at the BM, and boots of stealth from the armory.

I'd advise to take quests. They can level you up quite quickly, and the rewards get better if you keep your reputation up. They will however up your turncount. Level quests are probably not worth doing for this comp. Don't go deeper than your current quest level - quests are alway 2-3 levels deeper than your max depth.

Quest for half-orcs was laughably easy. Thank you guys for appearing in groups. tUnfortunately, the reward was some paltry GP. It's a good thing I cleared half that pit of creeping gold coins.

After the disappointing reward for the last quest, I decided to try a pit/nest quest and and received one for a nest of cave dwellers. No problem I thought, but I was I'll prepared (not enough healing) to kill 100 somethings. I did manage to pull it off but starting out better equipped would have made it a lot easier. It was well worth all the trouble. My reward was the bow 'Firien', +3 shots. Couple that with the staff of speed I picked up along the way and I've a frickin' machine gun.

Hoped for a unique quest next, put got a monster quest instead. 13 paladins. Wake me when it's over.

I did my first attempt without quests and am currently doing my second guy with quests. This competition seems intresting enough that I feel like there will be more than 1 person with an allkill, so no quests should be the way to go. Doing the quests is more intresting by a long shot imo.

nice bow o_0

Unimpressed with the reward for 13 dead paladins, I decided to take on a level quest. I didn't know that it was meant literally. I failed but not before clearing 1/2 the level, gaining a bunch of levels, knocking off a few uniques, and picking up a few artifacts. My reputation may have suffered (not sure, was fair, still is fair), but the 'rewards' were worth it.

I came back to this character after just a short break and decided I just didn't care that much anymore and nearly lost him to a minor dragon pit. Rather than taking decisive action to save his life, I toyed with phase door and CCW until he miraculously made it to safety. Since that point I've been a little more invested.

I started diving like a mad man, taking quests only as a diversion and even then not taking them too seriously. I bailed on the creeping coins pit quest because it seemed like it was going to be a pita. The quest for emperor wrights was sweet and easy. Next is a quest for 22 mature bronze dragons. I don't have the right resist so unless they drop easily I'll probably bail on that as well. I cannot land a unique quest, maybe because my rep isn't that good.

I suppose I'll catch up with all the low level uniques I've passed by later in the dungeon??? At least that's the plan.

On 2.4.2011 21:39 tigpup wrote:
Don't rely on those missed uniques turning-up. You're about the right depth for early d pits. These are your best source of summon_unique scrolls to mop up any low uniques you've missed. Also useful for !stat of course. Best try to get resConf first though. Coin pits (use traps) are usually worth the hassle as quests - if you're failing quests, they become increasingly less worthwhile as your reputation drops. Level quests probably aren't worthwhile in this comp though - too heavy on turncount.

I'm not sure why, but this character just couldn't hold my interest. Probably the mega-overpowered start followed by that hell-of-a-bow. Survival was cheap and easy, and diving was boring and time consuming. I foolishly gave her life to a red dragon that I was fighting for no reason at all. With 22 HP left I pressed on with melee though I had no real chance of killing it (that round) and a good chance of dying. Phase and heal? No. Why do that?
