   Turn     Depth   Note

      4     50 ft   Found The Set of Gauntlets of Gamil Zirak
  1,225    100 ft   (Jeweller)
  1,332    100 ft   (B.t.w: 3 Melee, 2 Evasion, and 4/4 effective.)
  1,332    100 ft   (The orc soldiers required setup and time.)
  1,607    100 ft   Made a Coral Amulet of Grace <+1>  0.1 lb
  1,787    100 ft   Made a Garnet Ring of Dexterity <+1>  0.1 lb
  1,948    100 ft   Made a Bronze Ring of Accuracy (+2)  0.1 lb
  2,486    200 ft   The worst part of being a smith is the urge to bank more 
  2,486    200 ft   experience just in case there's another forge.
  3,176    200 ft   Encountered Gorgol, the Butcher
  3,429    250 ft   Aha, a forge before I get really desperate.
  3,431    250 ft   Slightly more economical to put Freedom on a crown, and
  3,431    250 ft   slightly to a lot more to put any other good song.
  3,431    250 ft   And not being Nogrod is really stinging.
  3,742    250 ft   I could easily have died to all those Orc Warriors.
  3,742    250 ft   I refused to spend my banked XP.
  3,872    250 ft   Found a fenorian lamp
  3,879    250 ft   (So now if I really wanted I could reforge it.)
  4,254    250 ft   Ok, level cleared, and now I have enough xp to do...
  4,254    250 ft   ...maybe one of the things I'd usually want at this poin 
  4,254    250 ft   t. Not very impressed even with Gamil Zirak.
  4,336    250 ft   Made a Crystal Amulet of Regeneration  0.1 lb
  4,337    250 ft   (Armoursmith)
  4,337    250 ft   (Artifice)
  4,486    250 ft   Made The Cloak Cut From Contrast [+1] <+1>  2.0 lb
  5,072    300 ft   Second Restoration, so at least something is going well. 
  6,005    300 ft   Fell into a chasm
  6,116    400 ft   (Song of Elbereth)
  6,163    400 ft   Survived a test of a horn of warning near wargs,
  6,163    400 ft   orc champions, and easterling warriors.
  6,163    400 ft   Elbereth + Regen + Greatsword seems be what did it.
  6,163    400 ft   Maybe the strength of Elbereth will make up for the
  6,163    400 ft   general weakness of the character.
  6,190    400 ft   Oh, and a lot of them fled down a stair, it seems.

  6,763    400 ft   Slain by a Warg.
  6,763    400 ft   Died on 27 December 2017.

From the 26th day of the competition, wearing the gauntlets of Gamil Zirak in an attempt to become a super-smith.

It is not looking very good; I had to really strain collecting every bit of exp from floors to even make my normal +1 grace and +4 cumulative accuracy/evasion with the first forge, and then there wasn't enough left over to make later floors any easier.

Now that I'm at my second forge, I'm realizing that there doesn't seem to be anything I can make that will compensate for the investment in Smithing, especially since I'll be at a 1500-2500 Exp deficit relative to a Nogrod, depending on whether I want to aim for just artifact jewellery or go for an artifact armour/weapon.
(I'm also beginning to notice more of the accumulated nerfs since my last super-smith; one can't put grace on a lot of items, and it's no longer cost efficient to put most abilities on items, due to how exp costs and time/forge/difficulty costs combine. [There's also the slight detail of how standarts and what you can make with Artifice have further deviated, but that's a problem with planning what to Smith instead of the actual Smithing.])

It seems as though, much like on Carol Carrack, Carol Carter would have been much better off just building normal Melee/Evasion/Song and then only going Smithing after collecting good kit from the floor and Maeglin... meaning that, practically speaking, Gamil Zirak is about the worst starting artifact of the competition (tied with Dwarrowdelf).

I died to Singing Elbereth on-and-off instead of just Singing it constantly to get to a better position. Same sort of lesson my super-smith learned with Mastery, but a bit too late.

Like the last character, I can't say I'm sad to see it go.
