Judging by the atrocious loot luck for the previous Rag, I think it's clear I simply chose the wrong personality that time; 'rodent too' might have been Craven, but Satis Dee is clearly supposed to be Lucky; "[...] has poor stats but, surprisingly, can do all things well." fits perfectly for a lot of animated clothing in general.

(Also, slightly more CHR and WIS for starting stats, because they're all low anyway, and shop prices and level feeling are things I actually care about on this kind of character.)

For more thematics, most of the best ego armours I found until CL13 were not the kind I could absorb; reflection and resistance shields. The combo breaker was a pair of stealth boots, and then resists slowly started accumulating. First 'slaying' gloves of the game were Pippin, at DL30 and CL23, and it wasn't long after I found three Charisma potions; it's almost like the game was telling me this Rag is for dance, not fighting.

First artifact body armour was Hithlomir, during the second session of this game, for the first rag-pip of rAcid (when at two of rCold), rDark, and rNether, and so that was finally enough stuff worth mentioning to make a post.

Orc cave had a Creeping Coin pit, giving me nearly twice as much money as I'd collected so far this game, as well as reminding me how weak this character still is by nearly dying to Adamantium coins (and Fear). The Black Markets then finally stocked a non-base-elemental rod; Beam of Light— still not enough to kill the Icky Queen, but maybe 2 more such rods will be enough.

Later, after some quests, I had a brief outbreak of Black Oozes in Orc Cave, and it made me wonder; 'is this the level of scumming I'm supposed to be descending to?' Since I'd gained more essences faster killing 30 of them than I had killing orc escorts, uniques, or even finding vaults.

Fortunately, it was only one recall and a few floors later that I found one of those octagonal '9 undead / 9 items' vaults, which had a randart armour, the boots of Bubo, a white dragon scale mail of Craft (and thus another +1 MD), and an olog-hai armour (basically slaying gloves with extra stat/resist/regen progress), and so put to rest any temptation to stray from the path of vault-hunting to that of ooze-farming.

Of course, I am now in the most dangerous stage of the game for rags, around 28-33: when the rag is strong enough that you feel like it should be able to go deeper, but doing so still involves meeting things you have no good answer for; when you're beginning to grow weary with the character, and are likely to start making attention-deficit mistakes; and when you have about the stats and equipment bonuses approaching a normal character, but none of the abilities or class features to match.

It occurs to me this character might actually be easier for someone who is familiar with roguelikes, but not as familiar with this particular one.

Thanks, murphy; the statues that make no intuitive sense tend to be my favorites. Eldritch geometries clearly aren't limited to Sanity-Blasters in the world(s) of (elli)(frog)(com)pos(cheng)band.

Picked up my first point of speed from Boldor and Orfax (one of those), last essence for rFear on some randart boots, and then in three floors casually picked up all the non-quest Levitation essence needed to get the pip, so I finally headed on to Lonely Mountain and Morivant (only getting slightly distracted at the Mountain, and doing some quests at the town).

First slaying gloves of the game came from the Black Market, and since I haven't increased STR/DEX very much they only increased melee damage by 5— yet still, progress. Second slaying gloves came immediately immediately after from Orc Tunnels quest, and even had the exact same Slays (Animal, Human), increasing melee by another 3.

Total melee damage eventually went up to 53 (partly due to Lonely Mountain stat potions, and partly due to buying more slaying gloves and slaying armour from the Black Market), but the steady improvement of devices was more significant; two detection rods, two total Beam of Light rods, Acid/Fire rods at decent damage/charges, and enough Cure Wounds staves that I think it's fine if I carry and lose one. (Also technically gained decent rBase, but it isn't yet enough to change my tactics or engagement decisions.)

Oh, and Lonely Mountain provided two New Life potions when I haven't seen a single Self Knowledge yet.

(Finally, I've been careful not to go past DL33 in Lonely Mountain, since I'm try to reduce the chances of an Ethereal Dragon spawning even in a vault. Still no See Invisible or rLight!)

Shortly into this session, I found a robe of Permanence, which gave a bunch of not-yet-consequential fractions of things, and I thought not Hold Life either, but then MITZE suggested looking at the code and it turns out it was a display issue Sideways had already made a commit fixing.

(Although it led me to wonder; what happens when Monster character reaches 0% Life? Do they simply die instantly instead of turning into an undead race?)

Finally gained constant See Invisible (I had already been going without Sight potions, instead just teleporting or Detecting for when I met invisible creatures, but still nice), once again sourced exclusively from 'of the Imp' armours.

Destroying Kharis made me realize I could probably do Olog quest, and did (with my largest of three confusion staves). However, since I finished it without filling my inventory I decided to head down before Recalling, and that level triggered a Special feeling, which led me to find a vault, and although the randart was just a rConf essence, I killed a Dread Knight which dropped a good rod of Chaos Strike. Time to do a bunch of quests.

All the DL ≤ 30 ones in the towns I'd visited done (mostly garnering stat bonuses and a tiny bit of Stealth), I figured I could probably kill a Bazooker, and so set out on the trip to Angwil. Spent several teleports avoiding Hounds, but eventually flagged Anti-melee cave, followed by getting another rFear pip in the mountains from dragons. Flagged Angband, and then in the mountains of Giant's Hall finally gained enough Essence for 63% rFire; about the level of item protection as 2 normal pips of rFire.

Angwil Black Market had a neat Demon body armour, finally elevating rNether to relevancy at 25%, and then a BM trawl of all the current towns meant there's only 1 more Imp armour til 2x sInvis.

There may not have been a poignant stopping event this time, but I recognized that I was tired enough to start making mistakes, and so ended this session.

I felt low on quests for my Ragtime Adventures, as well as low on actual ragtime music, so I set out on the trip to Telmora with my experimental Animate Dead staff.

Hiking the mountains without Overland travel, said staff quickly became trusty, in that I think I'll keep it as part of my usual kit; I was expecting the nerfs to pets to make them impractical for non-summoners due to too high a rate of betrayal or vanishing, but when I haven't used more than 3 of them at a time, they're quite handy. I was able to keep a red or green Ancient Dragon around for 1/3rd of my trip, and even when I was just using a couple basilisks, that they would breath on things that would otherwise interrupt auto-run was quite convenient.

(Completely different, bug note: I would use a rod of Detection, and then when auto-run hit the edge of the trap-detected area it would automatically use it again, but I would then have to use Detect Monsters, because the display for them was immediately canceled after the automatic use of the Detection. However, mysteriously, about halfway through the trip it intermittently stopped canceling the monster detection display, working as expected sometimes and canceling at others. Not correlated with summons, so far as I could tell, but the successes and failures were in runs rather than what you'd expect if it were actually random.)
(Also, not really a bug, yet... should the Midnight Dragon really spawn in the wilderness when it's daytime?)

Loot from the trip included a rod each of Disenchantment and Fire Ball, and I was expecting to use them to do Sting quest, but it turns out the red Ancient Dragon I brought in was mostly able to handle things itself and I just had to worry about it destroying loot. (At least for the non-'confusing summons from Queen Ant' part.)

(First potion of Self Knowledge at Telmora Black Market, first point of light radius from Cammithrim in Barrow Downs, and rChaos hit relevancy in Old Watchtower.)

Ran out of quests again, noticed I hadn't done Tidal or Orc Cave, and so did some quick trips for stat points before diving Angband until DL33, where mere Loge was almost too hard to beat.


It's beginning to seem almost as though, despite all my progress, I can't really afford to go past DL35 anywhere, because I can't deal enough damage (even though my burst and sustainable damage are ok, since that still isn't the burst sustained). The staff of Confuse Monsters is also falling off in usefulness, in that most things I'd need it for are also immune around this point.
One neat thing is being only one rElec essence short of having two pips of rBase - 2%, and another is finally having decent AC, but those are mostly just making the depths I was already spending time at less annoying, rather than affording deeper depths.

I'm going to need a lot more ragtime music if the CL30-35 difficultly hill for Rags extends as far as it looks like it will. Any suggestions?

Bostock came through in chat with Scott Joplin's Fig Leaf Rag ("a rag for the permanently overexposed"), so I've decided to do a marathon of Scott's work during this grindy section of the game. (Mostly just the stuff hosted on Wiki-pedia/media at this point.)

The effect of the music with the game reminds of popular television scenes pairing airier, classical music with extreme violence of one sort or another, except in this case it's cheerful old time dance music paired with tedious, attritive, calculated risks— which I guess can be considered an old dance of sorts.

(Picked up a Resistance Staff of Speed, both rDisenchantment and rConfusion reached relevance, upgraded from wand of water to plasma then to a rod of Mana Bolts [as well as of course those last rElec and sInv essences, the latter of which now displays "Max" under body armour], rFire reached 68% at 62 essences [enough to stop item destruction from that source] but now also displays as "Max", meaning more will need to come from randarts or by finding immunities [much the same things, really]. Combined stat boosts and accumulated slaying means melee is finally decent at 171 damage a turn.)

Listening to that music repeatedly has helped me clarify in my mind what ragtime music is, so I think I'll have an easier time finding ones that count even if they aren't labeled that way. For instance; I'm fairly sure the last 3/7ths of this performance by Martin Leung of Super Mario World level themes, this performance of Super Mario 64 Main Theme (also Leung), and this one of Gunpowder Tea from Trigun (a cover, but one nearly identical to original) all fit the pattern of classic ragtime music.
Then, in terms of influence more than categorization, I'm very sure I've heard fragments of Scott Joplin's Magnetic Rag note-for-note in another piece entirely, and a piece riffing off of Maple Leaf Rag, but I can't seem to remember just which pieces those were.

I feel like there aren't really things worth mentioning anymore, since this is still just grinding until the remaining vital things for deeper depths accumulate, but since this is for testing I'll maintain a steady drone of notes anyway. The non-metaphorical music helps a lot, but I'll need another good source of ragtime music soon; Scott Joplin and similar work from my own collection or memory still doesn't add up to much.

(Gained the final [body armour] pip of FA, so that's one problem finally done with. Stat boosts reached +5 for Str and Dex, which is like a full +1 on a non-Lucky/Lazy non-Rag. Regeneration reached relevance at 2 Rag-pips, a.k.a. one normal pip [all from body armour, of course]. First high resist to reach 'good' is rBlind at 41%, partly due to the % resist Rags start with, and partly due to getting more of those essences than the others [like with rNether]. Found Dasai; just barely getting +1 AC out of it, for 121 AC, which I remember feeling more effective on my Jelly, but that's probably just the difference in HP/Melee-damage. Next came Thalkettoth, which was much better; providing a second point of speed, and raising rShards to relevance... rNexus came after, and then rDarkness.)

Slowly crept down a little in Lonely Mountain, mostly due to HP (473) and Damage (197/round); I'd started the grinding around DL33, but ended up on DL37, nearly the DL 'rodent too' died on.

(Picked up first reflection essence [apparently 1/3, instead of something absurd], the last body armour essence of rAcid, and finally gained an aura [Cold, at '4d5+2' damage], all from the same randart.)

I reached critical levels of boredom, and so went off and did the Lesser Titan quest; it was easier than expected, mostly due to the Confusion-staff-on-first-turn-in-LOS tactic. It was also harder than expected; I reached 250 hp due to a Colossus with no other monsters nearby because I forgot how hard it could hit when you're not kiting it. Very hardest part of the quest, was, of course, loot triage. (The reward was some randart gloves of 'first slow digestion essence' except that doesn't matter since Glove is not a slot which gets that very often.)

I noticed on the character sheet I had killed exactly one Ancient Multi-Hued Dragon, and so I went to flag Dragon's Lair; just had to avoid the masses of Gravity Hounds and Serpopards. The dungeon itself requires more Speed than I have, even hasted, but apparently after my 2-week break I lacked Diving Resistance, and attempted a couple few floors before leaving. Practically speaking, this traded 2 Healing potions for +1 speed, a Fire Aura, and rLight and rSound reaching relevance.

The trip also taught me I can probably take Greater Basilisks, so off I went to do their quest, after which I was once again out of quests I could probably do with my damage output. Flagged Chameleon Cave instead, and stuck around for a bit, getting the final essence of the first Hold Life pip (so now Black Wraiths shouldn't immediately turn into Nether Wraiths on their first hit), as well as that of Slay Dragon.

The game is clearly tempting me to go to Dragon's Lair again, but few things can compensate for insufficient Speed/HP insta-deaths. Distracted myself with the Castle dungeon, which might become the new Lonely Mountain if the demons aren't too bad. Recalled and compared; Slay Dragon was enough for Smaug even if not the Lair, and that damage means LM is still better even if the loot was mysteriously better at the same depth in Castle (probably the armour-bias and device-bias on some of the p's talking).

(Rags, like Rings and Deathswords, do not get the Warning property from items.)

Another milestone; I've passed the point at which Regeneration matters significantly on a non-SP character, where I use Cure Wounds staves and Healing potions for all my healing regardless. This means that at the rate I gain Regeneration essences and the rate those translate into rag-pips, they are unlikely to ever be relevant again, even in the post-endgame. (Specifically, I expect around 800% Regen, which doesn't mean much in the face of 2-3 Healing staff spam and at least +20 Speed.)


Technically, I stopped listening to (ragtime) music while playing, but that's because I'd listened to my current supply enough times that it continued in my mind regardless.

@MITZE: I think I noticed picking up Cowardice from a Sanity-Blaster, but I've gotten into the habit of putting off Zul until I can do the quest, which I am... rather far away from. I'll double check whether the price in Anambar is worth it and then if not make a trip north.

@emulord: Thanks, I guess; it really was just resisting the temptation to dive though, rather than any great skill or luck.

Decided the Zul trip was worth 125k when including dragon-slaying; along the way, I flagged Graveyard and Anti-Magic Cave, and picked up first essence (out of 6) for +Life on boots. Removed the cowardice mutation, but it turns out Shuffling the stock of the Dragon Armour shop was far more significant; the occasional boots and gloves in the shop helped even out my body-armour-biased resistance-essences, upgrading most of my resistances from 'ok' to actually good, and in the case of rBlind and rPoison, very good (at 46 and 80%). Notably, rShards and rChaos reached 41%, which I think is enough to stop item destruction from Chaos?
(Shuffling + buying took all the 1.22mil I'd collected til then.)

Later, I wasted a bunch of turns trying to take down Malekith, and it turns out even hasted I simply didn't have enough Speed to take his last 1-3 stars before he inevitably teleports and heals.

At some point I killed a Cthonian quickly, so I figured it was time for Sand Pit, which went fine (providing a useless sword), and opened up Dragon Quest. The loot from that wasn't nearly the same order of magnitude as going to Zul, but it did somewhat refill cash supplies.
(MITZE tuned into the game here, and helpfully asked whether accuracy/damage bonuses on Sniper gloves get globbed into melee; they do, although of course statistically that's only +1 or +2 over the mid-late game. [Total melee is now 352 normal, 487 vs Animals/Humans, and 526 vs. Dragons.])
