What an odd game!
My plan was to have an extreme protection character. I would be the famed Dwarven smith, Telchar, who forged Narsil, Angrist, and the Dragon-Helm. Sadly, I only found one forge after the initial one. I thus had some trouble getting very far with such a heavy investment in smithing.
I also only found four charges of Perception and no Recharging...
I had a lot of trouble in the mid-game and could barely hold my own. I ran out of all healing and quickness. Embarassingly, about 10 squares away from where I knew Anguirel to lie, I had to take Song of Sharpness to kill an Ancient amethyst serpent who would have spelt my doom.
Finally, I have managed to get things together. I have some good protection (though I'm Blocking and singing the Song of Staying in the character dump). I also have the required resistances and wonder of wonders found my third forge here on the last level before the Throne Room. It has 2 uses and I have 10,500 experience. Suggestions?

Note that I'm playing a developer version of 1.0.3 which displays all the items that I have ever forged. Rather pathetically, I'm still carrying two of them, including the gloves of the forge!

On the plus side, you've found some pretty good equipment generally. I actually thought of several of your equipped items "Oh, I guess he made that" before I scrolled down to see exactly what you had made.
Your equipment is mostly fairly solid, which makes it less clear where to focus on upgrading. I suppose the helm and amulet slots look a little below par -- despite Anguirel you probably have enough bread now not to need the sustenance from the amulet.
So, if you call for suggestions:
- You have various swap items for elemental resists, but I still think a dwarf mask for constant fire resistance could be good. Perhaps of Brilliance? Or Defiance?
- I'd guess a Con amulet would be the best choice?
I haven't checked the numbers, but I think you'd just need the 500 investment in Jeweller for the amulet. Certainly for two uses in total I'd guess it's not worth investing so much more in Smithing at this point, preferring to spend directly on skills.
An alternative to the amulet, to avoid needing Jeweller, might be a heavy long corslet, to get more use out of Heavy Armour Use?

Given your stealth score, you might want to change your character's name to "Clangy" :)

Out of curiosity, how high was your smithing when you made those three items at 50ft? 400ft? 13? I ask because I could never effectively manage enough EXP points for Smithing to make anything useful (when I need them most) with any Smithing character. :)

Well, you'll want 13 and jewellery if you want to make rings of accuracy +2(which are really good). I often take 12 and make numerous stealth items worth +6 in total. You also might want boots of speed, but I don't know how high your smithing score needs to before you can make them.

I'm surprised you have found nothing better for the slots Scatha highlights. I can't remember not finding a TrueSight helm or a +1 Con/Grace/BessedRealm amulet. Saying that though I cannot imagine seeing so few forges either! You haven't changed their distribution in 1.0.3 have you?
I usually stumble across two or three on the way down (including the guaranteed one) and then rely on _Revelations to find more in the 850-900 range.
I like the addition of the forged items to the notes section and Hugo raises a good point - perhaps you could add the smithing cost of the item there too?
Just a thought, how about making enchanted forges have a 2d3 bonus instead of a flat 3 (or 1d2+1d3 or 1d5 even if that is too much)?

Psi: I found several Helms of True Sight, but since I had Lamps of True Sight / Brilliance, and wanted the crown in case I found a forge, I ended up keeping the lamps. However, I didn't find a single Staff of Revelations, or a <+1> amulet of any kind.

Ah - didn't spot the TrueSight Lamp in the pack! Interesting that you've hung on to bog standard throwing axes - do they do enough damage to warrant the slot? I've never really tried throwing weapons.
On 12.4.2012 13:59 half wrote:
Yes, the axes are pretty good, especially against Cat Assassins. They also allow me to take more advantage of my Sprinting. They are particularly useful for dwarves since they get +1 to using Axes and a penalty for bows. I'd love to have made some good ones at a forge.
They are at (+26, 2d9) and since they are 1.5lb, this is often 3d9. Or maybe they are d10s -- I can't recall if Power affects them.
All that said, I've probably only had about 15 situations in which I've used them.
On 14.4.2012 19:03 half wrote:
Well, that was fun.
In the end, I decided that there was nothing worth smithing while spending less than 2,000 experience on it, so I just abandoned the forge. If it had had three uses I would have made an artefact. I took Crowd Fighting, Unwavering Voice, and Woven Themes for the throne room and descended.
I was surprised to be able to hold my own in the throne room once I had holed up. The songs of Slaying, Staying, and Este helped, as did the Amulet of Regeneration. The combat was very enjoyable and varied, with tense corridor combat and wide open battles in the main hall. I trapped two Unrelenting Horrors in a side chamber using my Trumpet of Blasting which was great.
Sadly though, Telchar's greed meant his downfall. Flush with his first real taste of success for the game, he decided to take not one, but three Silmarils. Using the Song of Sharpness and sacrificing his sword Aranruth, he claimed them. Then, he decided to throw his shield aside and run up through 1000 ft of the Iron Hells dual wielding Eol's twin meteroric bastard swords, Anglachel and Anguirel!
This was a mistake. Having all three Silmarils and a Danger item, meant that the dungeon was teeming with Vampire Lords and Gwathraukar. He did well against them, and with some very bad luck on finding stairs was slain on his fourth attempt at 950 ft... It turns out that while a Silmaril is bright enough to take on two Gwathraukar, it is not enough when four of them charge in amidst a cloud of vampire lords.
His only regret is to have switched the artefact shield back in to deal with some Ancient Serpents, rather than going down in true glory with two black blades flashing in the flickering light of three Silmarils and four Gwathraukar!
On 14.4.2012 19:26 HugoTheGreat2011 wrote:
Great story, there! I have to admit, I had a close call with the Gwathraukar one time with my only winning character (Azog's Bane), currently. I was halfway through the ascent, at around 450ft. I was heading towards this up-staircase at the end of a corridor, while on the run from Morgoth. One corridor end was blocked by Morgoth. Yet, lo and behold, 2 Gwathraukar were blocking the other corridor end AND staircase with darkness to give me a hard time. Fortunately, I was able to pummel these chumps, and made my way up, and win the game!
That being said, Gwathraukar are *very* nasty when dealing with multiples of them. 4 of them? That must be hectic!
On 14.4.2012 19:47 Scatha wrote:
A valiant attempt! It may be a bit silly, but I like the dual-wielding of the meteoric blades ...
You went down with quite a lot of experience available to spend. I wonder how much this would have helped. Another two points in Will would have increased the effectiveness of Critical Resistance, as well as making you less susceptible to the vampires' bites. I guess Song of the Trees might have been an out here -- but really, how often do you expect to have to face four Gwathraukar at once?

This is freaking awesome. I've been working on a Naugrim myself this week, and I'm glad to see we're on a similar page re: starting items. It took me quite a bit of testing to get to that, but there you have it.
Also, I can't believe you found Anguirel, Anglachel, _and_ Aranruth. And Narsil, even. And Glend. And Delmereth. Head asplode.

Gwathraukar aren't that strong...but their darkness generation can kill you. I almost got killed by a group of them at the gates of Angband. I was killing everything and tried to go back down the stairs but I couldn't see anything and started getting hit like crazy...lucky for me I had exchange and was able to get to the corridor and escape.

decoy: I took the initial three equipment choices from someone on the forum. Probably Psi. Boots of speed are another good choice if you are doing this Armoursmith, Enchantment start.
Yes, I did well with finding artefact weapons. I would have liked an Axe, but there probably aren't any as good as the swords I found. It is worth noting that Anglachel and Aranruth were found in the throne room, so didn't affect much of the game. Narsil was an excellent swap weapon earlier against fire, cold, darkness. I think there were also another couple of artefacts that I didn't bother identifying, two daggers as I recall.

I sat here for 5 minutes trying to find out where the -4 on your str was coming from, but it must've been those damn vampires! I like the addition of the forge-notes. Sorry about your character here, but man, you killed just about everything! Ungoliant is just plain nasty.
On 16.4.2012 08:31 decoy wrote:
Yes, I think that's a good start for this type of character. I have since tweaked my starting smithing a bit--I use a Corslet of Resilience rather than one of Protection now. It's 2d4 protection instead of 2d5, but if the character lives long enough to restore the Con, it's gravy.
Gloves of the Forge, the shield, and Boots of Speed are also on my starting list. I start with the gloves and the corslet, if I get the shield or the boots too then life is good.
