This guy isn't much different from my other two postings. I'm still pretty much a corridor-fighter who soaks up as much damage as possible. I still have the old butterknife problem ala Mythwindle. Improvements? include better evasion and the swap position ability which hopefully will save my bacon if I become surrounded. My drained constitution is annoying me... I want a bigger hp buffer. I'm clearing each level as much as possible (before worms make it too annoying) and then shoving on to the next level, but pretty much taking my time. I didn't notice with my first few characters that the dungeon is getting larger the deeper I go. I'm hoping that experience rewards start exponentially ramping up so I can grab song of sharpness soon.

Nice protection there. You might want to grab the Will ability 'Hardiness' to increase it further.

Song of Sharpness is indeed very good, but rate of experience gain goes up roughly linearly with depth rather than exponentially. Still, either of the prerequisites for the Song of Sharpness could be useful for you.

Generally if you want to deal with worm masses, Follow Through can be very good (and combining this with Song of Slaying can be pretty fun as you can build up a *big* Slaying bonus). But for this game it won't be too much longer until you're below worm-mass territory.

In terms of increasing your damage output, your longsword defender looks very good. Does it weight enough for you? If so, it may be better than Orcrist against non-orc, non-troll foes. Of course increasing your melee further can help this, as can large two-handed weapons on swap for appropriate enemies. And the ability 'Charge' is situational but provides a big damage boost.

Yeah, I was just looking at hardiness. I grabbed poison and dark resist first, but it's next on my list, along with 2 more points of will for an even +2.

Alright, back to 650' again only for the second time, but things are looking much better. On my way to the sharpness song which is definitely my next, and perhaps last big grab. Should I live long enough to see it, I'm hoping to just buff up melee and evasion. Also, shadows are really scary and swap position has become crucial for survival. If I drop in my kite shield I soak up a ludicrous amount of damage.

This looks like a good build to me. I think protection (aka damage reduction) has increasing marginal returns, so I'd be inclined to use the Kite shield. At that point one of the only things that can stop you is extreme critical hits (particularly if your quest for high protection comes at the expense of evasion), so I'd be interested in Critical Resistance, though it might be quite expensive now.

Exchange Places is indeed an excellent Ability -- make the most of it.

You can probably drop your extra Long Corslet if you want -- that must be heavy.

The corslet is absurdly heavy because I added as much weight to it as possible at the time of forging. At least, I think that's the one I made, I can't recall now. Anyway, I'm afraid to drop it in case something hurts my current armor. I've been eyeing it too, though. Before I chuck it the bow and arrows will go first. I ditched a swap weapon to keep it as well. Here's hoping I don't get disarmed too many times in a row! It's likely absurd paranoia to hold on to it for so long, but I just love carrying it around so much!

Your current armour is "of protection", which I believe has the added bonus that it can't be damaged (you can check with e(x)amine). So you should be safe.

I think there is something in what half is saying about the kite shield switch, but it's not totally obvious. If you're safe for the time being with the round shield, you'll kill things faster, which will mean slightly more experience by the time you're forced down to a given depth. And some of the deep down monsters who might be able to get through that armour actually do enough damage that it may be important to kill them quickly to minimise the number of hits. That said the kite shield will of course keep you safer against most (almost all) enemies.

I agree that critical resist would probably be good for you (cat warriors are perhaps the time you'll notice it help most -- if you don't have a problem with them you might be able to get away without it.)

Facepalm! I didn't notice the "of protection". Good thing it had it too, cause acid chewed up everything else. Luckily I found a forge and made some new stuff. Had a fun fight trying to kill the cat guardian. Too bad I don't have uber-smithing power to make a ring of speed. Grotesques are interesting, as are the other H's, silent watcher and whatshisface the hurtmyarmor H. Some Raukar who ignored rock made me run like hell to the closest staircase. Too bad I can't tape some weight around Ringil to squeeze out the 2d11. Currently at 750 heading toward an interesting dungeon formation.

Ah, I'm glad I looked over the character sheet. I keep seeing "of warmth" and "of frost" and confusing which resist they offer. I'm just so used to seeing fire and cold, I guess. So, I juggled some rings around and I think I produced a glitch. My 1d2 protection ring seen here stacked with my 1d1 protection ring and now I have two 1d1 protection rings. No biggie, but, that definitely helps me decide what to wear!

... and you've taken first place on the ladder by the current metric (it should be done by depth, and you're not far off on that). Congratulations!

Kemenraukar (the ones who can walk through rock) are pretty nasty just from helping other monsters surround you.

Have you managed to kill any Grotesques or Silent Watchers? I don't imagine you could before you got Song of Sharpness, but maybe now?

> Too bad I can't tape some weight around Ringil to squeeze out the 2d11

At one point when we were designing Smithing there was a plan to let you modify artefacts at forges! This didn't make it, in part because we didn't have a clean set of rules for it. But it's not inconceivable that it could be added in later.

You have found Ringil? I don't think I've ever found it in Sil. There are very few branded weapons in Sil, but they are really quite strong as there are almost no resistant monsters.

Sorry about the ring of protection stacking bug. I've just gone and fixed it for the next version.

Excellent work by the way.

I meant Orcrist. Wishful thinking on my part!

Noes! It turns out the interesting dungeon feature had tevildo, another 'f' guardian, a vampire, one of those rock eating R's and they put forth a valiant chase and ate me alive! I made a very silly mistake in running away... I found a dead end! For that, I blame Shaun the Sheep, as it was taking up half of my screen that my daughter was watching. But, things weren't adding up in any case. I couldn't really hang at 700', and 750' was just too much. Maybe I should've switched to a two hander weapon for damage output. Or, I need to find some give in the experience points. I'm thinking that forging might be the most cost effective way of freeing up the xp I need. Instead of 7,000 exp for just the song of sharpness, I maybe should invested 7000 in smithing, and then made items with the special skills I needed, like swap position, sharpness, and others. I found two gloves of forging +3, and perhaps with a healthy point investment into smithing and with a grace potion, I could make some truly useful things. I found a fair number of forges after 500'. In any case, back to the drawing board!
