Alright! It seems like I've gotten the hang of the midgame, this is my second consecutive mage to make it down to the 30s.

I need to be diving faster, but i had some glaring resistance gaps that were filled by the cap that I have. Still would like confusion. I'm also hoping to stumble across some elc and poison before diving too far deeper.

I'm getting nervous though, seeing a lot of uniques that I don't have any kind of information on, scared of getting instagibbed by some breath.

Advice appreciated.

Truly a glass cannon here. You need to be extremely careful if you're gonna dive deeper. Poison/elec resistance very high on recommended list.

What I want to ask you is why did you leave Thengel and Narthanc behind?
Thengel isn't generally a super good mage headgear but it does have 9 points more AC than your current helmet and it has the confusion resistance. Cap of seeing is a good item but at least I wouldn't have left Thengel behind. SeeInvis is easier to come by than rConf later.

Your flail has good properties but Narthanc doens't need that many stat gains to reach 4 attacks. Even with 2 attacks it is an excellent weapon for killing weaker monsters. Do not disregard melee attacks as a mage.

Well, this is now my best character of all time.
Really got the hang of mage I think. I'm just in DESPERATE need of CON. I maxed out Int really early, but man anything could one hit me.

Just killed Itangast the Fire Drake, but being happy about that caused me to go down to 3 hp from some nether hounds. Thank god for *destruction*.

Any hints appreciated. I'm kinda playing like a sneaky sniper, detecting all the time, looking for high value targets who are alone and nuking them for exp. I'll check out any vaults that look interesting (teleporting anything away that might murder me) and try to get some upgrades.

I'm also diving pretty steadily, i figure there isn't any difference between -1 hp and -300 hp so why not run down and try to get the better loot as soon as possible?

Or are there some key resistances I'm missing that I should fill before going deeper?

Thanks in advance. How cool would it be if my first winner could be a mage..

@Sphara didnt see your comment beore I posted the update! Thanks for the advice!

I left those behind as I figured in the long term I'd want to avoid melee, being a scrub I figured it might lure me into some bad habits. You're right, I should have stashed the cap in my house. Trying to get better about using that strategically.

Got really lucky with tomes, so I'm leaning fairly heavily on 'resistance' right now. I'm ready to replace my melee weapon, I mostly had it for regen and I have an amulet sitting in my house, but need something else to run along. Got the bow from the fire drake, ~240 damage per shot on things not resistant to thunder will really help me out I think.

Nice going so far.
With Haste Self and Resistance spell backing up, you'd have enough firepower to blast most things on L:51 but that HP is so goddamn low. You also need to avoid other things than just big breathers.
Around these depths, there are several monsters that have Cause Mortal Wounds spell, which can kill you outright from 172 HP afaik. With saving throw of 71%, I'd avoid every one of those encounters. I don't remember all of those but out of the common monsters at least Vampire Lords, Partiarchs, Knight Templars and all higher Lich do have it.

Really taking my time now.

Also really over-compensating for my con score with my gear. Found a lot of potions and between the increases and my gear I'm at about 263. Enough to not be one hit by most things, I think mortal wounds caps at 225?

Just need to keep diving, and get some of the weirder resistances as well as tenser's which has proven to be really elusive.

I'm pretty much diving, and stopping if I see a large enough vault. Hopefully I don't get instagibbed by something!

Any advice is welcome, especially in the gear department. Never had so many good things to choose between!

Still stumbling ever deeper. Taking some time on the easier levels to refill my consumables after a relatively disastrous series of summons from Eol. Lost most of my wands, just found one more drain life (SO USEFUL) on the last floor before calling it quits for the night.

I really want this little guy to be my first winner, I really think I got the hang of him. Just need more CON potions so I can stop emphasizing it so much in my gear.

Just played a little bit more, and found the perfect artifact to fill so many gaps that I have.

Pushed out of a vault by a ranger chieftain summoning maybe four turns in a row (A dracolich? Really?). Now I'm actually going to bed!

Azaghal having fire immunity trivializes too many good-stuff-dropping endgame opponents (most balrogs, hell wyrms etc) to be left at home. It also nullifies lava damage. Some late game baddies fire breath leave lava.

Also apart from first four spellbooks, those rarer ones can never be destroyed from inventory. So no use carrying several Resistances/Raal's copies. I dunno know if Harowen/master thief can steal them but other ways of them disappearing from the inventory, I cannot come up. Well, you're not gonna let any thieves next to you anyway :)
