I'm a total Sil noob, and this is the deepest I've gotten so far. I typically tend to die between 100-250'. I based his beginning off of debo's protection/smithing build, though I didn't finish watching the whole series. He has managed to barely stay alive by the skin of his teeth so far. Things seem to be getting very dangerous very quickly, and several times the only reason I survived were the boots of speed I made. Looking for any suggestions on how I continue moving forward, because I'm pretty sure that I'll be dead very shortly if left to my own devices.

Sort & identify your equipment, you have 6 rings, special greaves and special throwing axes. Not only is this experience, there probably is useful stuff among it as well, but be careful while doing so. It will also solve your equipment problem, you probably have to leave a lot of things behind right now. (Or get Loremaster as debo would say.)

Yeah, I have tried to ID I think everything by use so far, and haven't had any luck. I have been thinking about investing the EXP in Perception to get Loremaster, but was afraid that big investment at this point might be better served elsewhere to keep me alive.

Seriously, none of the six rings identifies when worn? Saving for Loremaster may be useful in future (it is a good way to learn about all the items). Hope you do not mind a few spoilers (there is thread about ID-game in the forum as well).

Try walking into caltrops and switch between rings and try the greaves as well. (free action)

A few early worms (white/clear) are poison damage again try with the different rings + the azure potions might very well be slow poison as well. (poison resist)

You probably met snow trolls already, try the different rings. (cold resist)

Hunger and sustenance auto-IDs as soon as your hunger bar changes naturally with them active (unless you wear one of each). So hunger should ID pretty fast anyway, for sustenance it is worthwile to eat just a little (useless potion, herb) once you fell hungry and see. Whatever you do, don't throw away unidentified rings, if it is fire resist or free action you might miss it later.

Watch your inventory, when the throwing axes ever glow, they are safe and slaying weapons and you should try to identify against nearby opponents.

You should have sufficient will to resist most bad status effects if you end up test-quaffing potions/herbs.



A few things are easy to identify, but I don't know how much spoilers you want.

. Trying wearing all rings while stepping into a caltrop field

I would only risk wearing un'id rings if I had at least 1, preferably 2, staves that didn't id when used in a room with at least 1 open and 1 closed door and maybe a staircase too. This gives a fair hedge that you have a sanctity staff. Just what I do as I pretty much never take loremaster.

On 11.7.2014 18:57 HallucinationMushroom wrote:
As for potions and herbs, I drink them all up when down on hp, preferably poisoned, and have a *lot*, which will hedge against stat drains as good and bad potions of same type will cancel out.

Also, Anglachel is amazing! Amazing enough you could wear a shield. If you are going protection it is your 2nd best protection giver, after armor. I'm not familiar with Debo's protection/smith, but I do know protection!

Thanks for the tips everyone! I can't wait to get home from work so I can keep grinding away. This run has been really exciting, as I'm finally seeing new things after I don't even know how many repeated deaths on the first couple of levels. Suffice to say I'm super paranoid at the moment.

Besides Loremaster which I know some players would recommend, what suggestions would you guys make as far as other skills/abilities I should consider aiming for next?

On 11.7.2014 19:15 wobbly wrote:
Yep, even with a shield your charging for 3d8 w/sharpness. I'd probably wear a shield, particularly if you can find 1 with fire resist. I'm placing bets on the azure potions being slow poison & the yellow being quickness but that's just idle guessing.

On 11.7.2014 19:29 HallucinationMushroom wrote:
As far as playstyle advice, I think you are a little too deep considering Anglachel is pulling stronger monsters. You have the benefit of a lot of time... I would head to 450', but if that seems lame, try maybe 500'.

You have your will tree covered, that's nice! I think heavy armor mastery should be next on your to-buy list, and I would recommend the crowd-fighting route. After that I would worry about seeing 'invisible' monsters. Keen senses is cheapish, but you might have a ring or item of keen senses.

The thing that would kill me, if I were in your shoes, would be a shadow. If you are suddenly getting really hurt by nothing, prolly a shadow.

Sound advice. I actually hadn't realized how far I got from my min depth. I think at one point I was at my min depth, but a few times I had to take stairs as a means of escape, and I guess I dove pretty quick. Going up a few levels is probably wise, considering I seem to be nearly-dying from almost every monster I encounter.

Yes, there are cursed negative rings nowadays, but didn't he say he tried them all already? (If this is the case, as I assumed it is, he should test them thoroughly asap to identify some of the useful ones at least. Otherwise there is of course a risk to be stuck with strength-1 these days.)

Heavy armour use looks like an obvious synergy. Charge combines well with flanking.

Still scraping by. Ended up picking up Loremaster cause I was sick of lugging around a bunch of shit I was having a hard time ID'ing. Found my first Staff of Understanding like 3 minutes later - go figure. Went through a period of time where I felt really strong, and that time seems to have past. I was trying to go down quickly so I can maximize time at the bottom before going into the throne room, but i'm a little scared and might ascend for a little longer. I really haven't been finding much in the way of items or forges to work with sadly. Started putting some points into song for lack of any other idea of what to do. Will likely die soon.
