I tried to test Nature changes with a HM but, alas, I could not survive! At L30 with no attacks other than Fire/Frost bolt (though I did manage a rod of acid balls) I was meat to any monster immune to both. Arjen, how did you do it?

So here is another go, with a Monk this time. Spells are much harder to cast this way and even Nature's Gate still fails to high for use (36%). Plus, The Arena biffs group summons anyway, and I'm somewhat addicted to this dungeon, so I'll just have to beat things down myself!

AC is ludicrously high (253) though I don't think I'll wear Hammerhand just yet. Even Resistance True is somewhat iffy (22%) but such is the way of the monk. I'll eventually have to New Life my 18/70 (?) intrinsic Wis.

Total Hobbit Power, despite recent monk changes. Still only 5 blows, for example, but I'm doing more damage than most melee characters would, I dare say. Plus, I have a retaliatory aura!

The Pits were ant infested, of course, and I had to kill 80 or so of the vilest, worst-est ants ever! But for a Nature caster, that is no big deal. I just had to hope I could manage to successfully cast my 16% fail Resistance True before my mana ran out, which is by no means a sure endeavor (I failed 4 times in a row twice during the quest, and I didn't have time or stealth to regen back. Probably, I should be using potions still?).

The reward is nice. Now, I need the OC reward to match :)

Killing stuff around lvl 30? Dragons in the DC (get stealth and -oDetection), and the BD quest is nice around then if you have speed or a lot of teleports.

But at lvl 21-22 I did finish Orc Camp, DQ1, MT which should drop some nice stuff.

And don't forget, my current HM is nr 30.443 I think (My deathlist at 0.0.108 is *huge*). I don't mind dieing/learning and start over a couple of times before I get it right. You learn which fights can't be won until the 4th spellbook.

[CL42:Old Castle] 07:20
I'm closing in on the ideal monk solution ... Nether at last from both a ring and a couple of dragon gloves, back to back to back gave my first usable nether sightings all game. Sure, there was Rohirrim but I still can't manage the weight without disrupting my balance. So the OC was at last an option. I was sort of hoping to get the palantir ahead of time, but that can prove a long 20+ hour wait and I lack the patience.

In the process of the Old Castle, I picked up Lohengrin, so my miracle nether is now moot. And earlier, I burned my lone !NewLife for a miracle roll: Str 18/90 to 18/120, Wis 18/80 to 18/30, Dex 18/130 to 18/70 and Con 18/100 to 18/100. Life 106% to 103%. +3 Str and +5 Wis are really crucial. The biff to dex has yet to prove noticeable.

The once and future monk!

I've give up the lair for the arena, a dungeon of pure challenge!

Art number 1 goes on some amazing dragon gloves:
The Set of Dragon Gloves 'Monktacular' [4,+30] (+4 to searching) {StDxCnSr;ElFiPoLiDkBlSoNtFe;FaSd(St}

It already had most of those resists, but picked up Li as well as good stat boosts.

Now, it pains me to give up Lohengrin, but Eternity weighs in at a mere 0lbs, allowing me to wear incredibly heavy gear on my other slots. In particular, Art number 2 will go on this:
a Dragon Shield [8,+16] {AcElCoLiShCfFe}

The town arena, that is. I completed The Forest for my first Poison Needle (I must have accidentally been destroying them all game) and then headed in to face the GWoP. My judgment was that I would come up short with healing if I tried straight melee. Maybe ... But I almost came up short with the Needle! Poke #22 was the lucky poke, and I was down to about 100 sp remaining, so just one more Herbal Healing left. Of course, 22 rounds of fist beat down might also have done the job, but there's the pesky auras to consider. Close either way.

And the final arena monster, that most might of foes, that eternal guardian of fantastic wealth, prestige and power, well, it fell to poke #1. So there you have it. And here I have it:

The Dragon Shield 'Monktastic' [8,+25] (+3) {StCn;AcElCoLiShCfNtDiFe}

Again, most resists were already there (though NtDi is a nice pickup).

For my last artifact, I will need to conquer the Arena one more time. And this time, I'm holding out for a Wizard Cloak!

That Metal Babble is a pushover! Art #3 is actually:

The Dragon Helm 'Monkredible' [8,+24] (+3) {StInDxCn;ElCoLiSoNxCaFe;RfSi(Dx}

The helm started with needed Chaos resistance and I haven't seen a Wizard Cloak yet, so I figured why not? Why not, indeed!

In sad news, I'm using Boromir for an extra kick to damage output? Hmph!

Just out of curiosity, how many hours does it usually take to play a Chengband character to completion?

On 6.9.2012 03:29 chris wrote:
Well, I might actually be able to win about now, 12 hours in. But then again, my resources are low, so it would be a close battle, maybe 40% odds of my pulling it off. So one can win rather quickly if one knows what they are doing, but you also lose a bit this way.

I'd say under 30 hours is the norm, but most veterans probably win under 20 hours. It also depends heavily on what class you are playing. Some builds just take longer! Magic casters in particular take longer, though I feel they are more powerful in the end.

BTW, if you strive to handle all the uniques, you can add 5 to 10 hours to those estimates. There are too many uniques ...

[CL50:DL119] 12:11
Man, this deep is very tough. Thus far, I haven't been able to put a dent in Gothmog, and I'm not sure how to face that guy. Herbal Healing is nowhere near enough and I've only managed a single star off the guy before running out of sp. This on 3 attempts?

I finally found Vilya in my quest for a Wizard Cloak (I'm up to 2 spare ?ArtifactCreation!). Now, it might not be represented on my character dump, but this is an improvement! For Nyarlathotep as an example, I get an extra 3d to my monk attacks, and a 1.7x lightning brand to boot. Still, that guy was fierce, and I took 3 life threatening Mana Storms in the fray. A double storm kills while the single storms only kept me in the low 200s ... Nastiness!

I think Vilya will assist my Gothmog woes, but really, I need much more healing. Fortunately Nyarlathotep dropped Incanus which I can use. The combination of Decrement Mana with the Spell Capacity nearly doubles my healing reserves, I think (6 to 12).

[CL50:DL100] 13:27
Well, I managed one Olympian and decided that was plenty! I never could kill Gothmog, though in fairness, he stopped showing up once I started carrying potion resources. And I never even tried on The Destroyer. (Oh, yeah, Gothmog did show up while I was fighting the Serpent but I wasn't about to waste my time on him at that point!)

The Serpent was formidable and quite challenging. As you can see, monk melee is not quite what it used to be (though Vilya adds about 100hp/round) and stunning against high level unique foes won't work at all. So gone are the days of Craft Monks winning with a couple !Healing and I had to settle in for quite the resource battle. It was scary that the J snuck in an early double move bringing me all the way down to 60hp, and this before I managed a single star off the guy. And after that, nothing worse than 200hp as I was quick on the healing trigger.

Also, my 4 scroll artifacts have me reaching for my artifact nerf bat ... Sorry, but I think it needs to happen!
