Decent run so far. A bit strange that I haven't seen any !restoration or !orcish liquor by 400 feet, but I'll make do. Just have to be very careful since I don't have a source of healing.

Considering what happened last run, I think I'm going to have to pump archery/evasion pretty hard, as well as rush for flaming arrows, because I can see the Easterling uniques and giants ripping me to shreds. Also want sprinting at some point...

Still have 1 charge left on my current forge. Probably will be making a Nargothrond longbow. I would like to make an amulet of grace, but I really don't want to take any more grace drain. 3 is bad enough.

Also want a longbow of doriath in time for werewolves if possible. Gondolin branded weapons are becoming less and less pertinent.

I feel like I might get screwed over by shadow spiders too...no rBlindness or !true sight.

Hmm, looks like I'm finally starting to get it down. Coming along nicely now.

Kite Shield of Hador must be really common. That's the third time I've found it, and there are still a lot of artefacts I have never seen outside of Christmas presents. But, I'm not complaining. Reliable source of rF and rC is always welcome, more so because trying to smith it myself drains stats. Boots of Irime as well. Second or third time I've seen that. Pretty mediocre artefact imo, but dex sustain is nice and so is the addition to evasion (compared to my [-1,1d3] boots).

First time I've seen Burkfelek. Too bad I'm not melee or I would have totally started crafting +strength gear just to use Burkfelek. 6 damage dice! Too good to pass up. As it is now, I'm just using it for tunneling (no shovel or mattock showed up before this). Same for Spear of Boldog. Just using it for rFear for now, or maybe to scare wolves away.

6 melee isn't going to do much, so I just tossed my rage herbs.

I'm ready for rauker territory! Got great helm of defiance and boldog to resist fear. Keen senses to spot sulrauko. And a longbow of nargothrond to take them down fast. I do not have a lot of arrows, which makes me hesitant to use flaming arrows much though. Running out of arrows without a forge nearby would be a death sentence. I already have rPois for werewolves, and am now starting to work on song. I'll get aule up first, then sharpness. I really need sharpness because I've found there is no way to fight deathblades or kemenrauker otherwise. Even with song of sharpness, I still could not take down groteques. I'd imagine the same holds true for silent watchers. You'd need some insane build to take those down, I bet. Resistance to stun + fear at the very least.

I have up to 18 smithing now. Planning to make a +3 or +4 smithing warhammer at some point. Amulet of grace as well. And perhaps a gaunlet of archery. Smithing's taken a back seat for now. Definitely want song of sharpness up ASAP. The next big item I really want is a robe of great speed. Ideally I actually want it on my boots, so I don't end up tanking my armor. But it costs a lot more to put on boots than on robes...

Oh right, crippling shot might be good too.

The trick with this build, at least the way I'm skilling, is to establish combat capabilities before really working on smithing and loremaster. 150 feet to 300 feet is by far the most dangerous period, because you've sunk so much experience into smithing but haven't gotten much back in return. That's especially true if you invest further experience to acquire jeweller (and the additional smithing point so that you can make +2 rings of accuracy/evasion). You can only pray that you live long enough to see the forge so that experience pays off.

Oh, and I swapped from 3-4-4-3 to 2-5-4-3. Makes quite the difference. The extra point in dexterity does a lot more work than one in strength. I grabbed eye for detail to somewhat counteract my low strength. The one thing that screws over low strength builds are webs and pits, since getting out of those relies on strength iirc. So the solution is to have enough perception to never fall into them in the first place. Also aligns with my goal to not fall into false floors so I can maximize the number of forges I find.

Hopefully, the same concepts apply when I try Naugrim again. I probably won't do an archer (since I believe they actually have an archery penalty), but as a melee Naugrim smith, you get to start with 2 smithing skills for free. Your base stats will be lower than Noldor except for constitution. I think Noldor's honestly aren't much worse than Noldor. It's when you choose dexterity as a dump stat that things get much harder. I'd imagine a dex focused Naugrim would have a pretty similar experience with a Noldor.

Assuming that higher rarity means rarer, the kite shield of hador actually has a higher rarity than Ringil and Celeg Aithorn (7 and 10 respectively iirc, Hador has 12). The difference is that the kite shield has depth 8 and ringil/celeg have depth 20, so presumably they won't spawn outside a vault. I don't fully understand the artefact rarity system, though, since artefacts also have a "cost" that is distinct from their rarity. Some artefacts that aren't that good are extremely rare for unknown reasons, and then the black blades only have rarity 15 and depth 15 (but I still almost never see them).

On 11.1.2017 21:49 protopulse wrote:
Well, rarity 15 is supposed to be pretty rare though, no? The higher the rarity, the rarer it is...And 15 is fairly deep.

I'm not sure how artefact or item generation works either, but there's probably some formula that determines the overall rarity as a function of depth and the rarity value. "Cost" sounds like leftover code from Angband that half and scatha just left in the game because it wasn't doing any harm. The cost would only matter if there were shops and gold, but obviously, neither exists in Sil.

On 11.1.2017 22:48 ripforareason wrote:
Well, what happens (as far as I know) is, since there is a smoothing function that makes artefacts less likely to spawn as you generate more artefacts, and the really powerful swords have fairly deep spawn depths, is that you will have spawned a decent number of artefacts already by the time you hit 950', so that you almost never see them even if their rarity is not as high as you'd think.

On 11.1.2017 23:24 protopulse wrote:
Yea, that's a good point. I just checked, and Burkfelek depth is 20 (1000 feet) with a rarity value of 3, which puts it on par with the likes of Ringil and Celeg Aithorn, albeit with lower rarity. So even though it's 500 feet out of depth, it spawned for me. Either I got extraordinarily lucky, mattocks aren't treated the same as mithril longsword artefacts, or the depth requirement is not stringent at all.

I think they just need to spawn in a vault. I did find Aeglos in the forge vault on D:2 once...
