A try at a high-smith character. Everything depends on finding *lots* of forges. I need to make a smithing hammer +4, and then an amulet of Grace +2, and I'll be sitting at 30 smithing, which should be enough. Finding 8-10 more forges is going to take a lot of luck though.

Might be worth making a Song of Delvings artifact to help locate more forges; that does mean trading off a known forge for hoped for forges though...

It's of course a reasonable idea, although my Song score is really low. I leaning more in favor of the "get lucky and find Revelations staffs" school of thought.

The character is going very well so far. I managed to find some good equipment (e.g. Finrod; the Nargothrond bow) and so wasn't forced to use up forge uses making weapons/armor just to survive, and could instead concentrate on getting all the smithing gear finished. And I found some +3 forge gauntlets, so I didn't have to make those either. I'm now at my maximum smithing, and managed to complete the Crown, which is sort of a linchpin item. I'll be making a number of non-artifact items next, to buff-up the character, and hopefully find enough forges to be able to make some +Damage rings. I think it's pretty much up to the forge count at this point.

Silk4's luck has held (he probably should have been killed in the encounter with Smaug). Finally found a Revelations staff to go with the 16 charges of Recharging I'd built up. The level I'm currently on has 2 forges, and I haven't been to 900 ft yet, so the forge situation looks very good. I hope to find an enchanted forge to smith the anti-Morgoth bow. I'm currently leaning in favor of replacing Finrod with some boots with Exchange Places. Hate to lose the Evasion, but the ability has saved my skin on many occasions in the past.

Hummm .. I note that my earlier comment was wrong and I actually *made* the Nargothrond bow, rather than finding it. But the essential point remains true - the character was lucky enough to not be forced to expend forge uses making "intermediate" equipment just to survive: the bow was the only piece of non-smithing gear I made before having the complete set, and I was able to delay making it long enough that I could make an "end-game quality" piece directly.

The character is starting to look very strong. Why both Point Blank Archery and Versatility though? Versatility for crit-resistant enemies, point blank for Morgoth?

I was way over-prepared for the final fight, but after the failures of the previous 3 generations of Silk's, I didn't want to take chances. I ended up smithing an incredible pile of stuff, and probably could have done even more, but at some point even I had to call it quits. Fully buffed, a hail of rapid-fire poison flaming arrows from a burly longbow brought Morgoth down.

This was certainly an interesting challenge. The eventual key insight for me was to make the artifact gloves at the first forge; this saved a huge pile of experience points.

Quirk - Point Blank Archery was the major attack for this character. But there are plenty of occasions where it isn't enough: say, destroying a Grotesque blocking a hallway. Also at the very beginning when you're short on arrows. It's just very convenient to have a reasonable melee attack. Particularly for my typical "Brute Force, No Stealth, Kill Everything" play style.

Congratulations on the win. Killing Morgoth from a 50K start is an impressive achievement. I suspect you've won the competition here; this is a monster of a character. Morgoth died just 11 turns after meeting you, from the log.

I am also a little glad you did this nearly at the end of the month rather than on day 2 of the comp ;).

This char was clearly overkill. Having finally done this and figured out a path to success, I believe that there are a number of changes that could be made to reduce the need for forges and to reduce the turn count, without sacrificing the kill. I doubt I'll have the time to actually experiment with it however.

And not to be too petty .. but could you get pav to correctly order the ladder?

I've asked Pav. I doubt you'll have to contend with a faster kill though!
