Bought a longbow of velocity; what does that do, extra shots ? The #shots in the character screen is displayed as 2, same as with a basic bow.

Scary experience when i recalled into a time hound surround. They brought me down to ~100 hp and drained some xp; thankfully no stat drains. If it had affected my con, I would probably be dead.

Otherwise making my way down via stair creation, at 70ish now.

Made it down, but theres not all that much I can do there. Lack of stealth is severely hampering the progress. The game will be decided soon though, one way or another.

Identify is so hard to cast that even at this level and with reasonably high intelligence I feel compelled to carry ?id. Detect enchantment has "only" ~20% fail rate, but still I rather minimize resting down there and carry a staff of object detection.

And just as I spoke, it ended the other way.

I was killing novice warriors and priests and the presence of the Mouth of Sauron escaped me, either because its invisble (is it ?) or because I overlooked yet another small p.

I had the book with the detect evil spell in town, but I was not carrying it, figuring that casting more detection spells might be riskier than covering evil+invisible foes. Not sure on that one, but I would have had to drop something else useful to make room.

Item luck was pretty terrible for this ranger. Key properties like stealth, ESP, speed never showed up (apart from a defender weapon).

BTW, why are we playing this terrible version ? 3.0.9 is where much of the annoying stuff got fixed. Its the same game except for better quality of life.

3.0.9 and 2.9.3 are completely different games. 3.0.0 was the biggest overhaul in Angband history before Nick's class and magic re-do.

And key properties like stealth, ESP and speed are a lot easier to find in 3.0.9 :)

My previous toons who died much earlier had all of stealth, ESP and speed among themselves. Why would that be harder to find than 3.0.9 ? And I play 3.0.9 often these days, it feels very similar to this except, like said, for superior quality of life.

What exactly do you mean by "completely different" that is NOT quality of life ?

3.0.0 added lots of new objects and ego types. Amulets of ESP, Trickery and Weaponmastery don't exist in 2.9.3. Weapons of Gondolin were added in 3.0.0, so that's another potential source of telepathy that 2.9.3 lacks. Boots of Elvenkind - speed and stealth - were added in 3.0.0.

The artifact list changed even more radically; many new artifacts (including some extremely strong ones) were added, and previously existing artifacts were made stronger. 3.0.0 has 28 artifacts with +speed on, including some common ones like Thalkettoth. 2.9.3 has only 7 - the four rings of power, Ringil, Cubragol and Feanor.

3.0.0 also moved dracoliches/dracolisks much deeper and added ~70 new monster races, including demiliches, archliches, winged horrors, bile demons, barbazu, osyluths, gelugons, horned reapers, greater balrogs, pit fiends, greater basilisks, beholder hive-mothers, Atlas/Kronos/Polyphemus, and several new types of wyrm. 2.9.3 doesn't have any of those; that doesn't necessarily make the late game *easier*, it just means the same nasty deep-game monsters generate more often, but it does radically change the feel of the late game.

Rings of Speed are native to DL 80 in 2.9.3, you can of course find them early if you get lucky (like dummy's @ did) but you can't count on it. In 3.0.x they're DL 75, still deep but not as deep, but the big difference is how much easier finding other speed items is in 3.0.x.

On 17.3.2020 23:25 Sideways wrote:
Forgot the spell list rework... 3.0.0 added a lot of new spells - largely attack spells, but also utility like Enchant Weapon/Armor; so those 91 arrows could be (+10,+10) if this were 3.0.x and you were willing to invest the time. But 3.0.0 also removed some of the most powerful mage spells from the previous list (Genocide, Mass Genocide and Globe of Invulnerability).

Well in 9 out of 10 modernish vanilla games I find ESP from hats before other sources. Adding a ton of rare items doesnt change the games much.

As for speed: one of my @s found boots of speed early; and this one spend quite a while on level 90+ without seeing a ring of speed. Shifting speed ring depth by 5 levels is big ? Thats ridiculous, its teenytiny compared to not having a f**ing monster list or the latest class changes that are wilder than most variants.

Anyway, thanks for the info even though I strongly disagree on what constitutes noticeable changes. I maintain this and 3.0.X are almost the same gameplay wise.

On 18.3.2020 00:11 Sideways wrote:
Of course shifting speed ring depth by 5 isn't big, I only mentioned that at all to give not finding speed early full context.

Rings of Speed, Boots of Speed and a handful of very rare arts are the only sources of permaspeed at *all* in 2.9.3; so Rings of Speed being native to 80 is very relevant in itself, simply because that marks the first point in the game where +speed items stop being ultra-rare.
