This is by far my best game so far and I find myself facing a dilemma. According to the Angband Newbie Guide I need resist nether before passing 2700'. However, once I find a source of rNether I can dive as far as 4000' because my hasted speed is already greater than 20. This suggests to me that I could risk being deeper - advice welcome.
60 uniques killed of 65 known. The others are Bullroarer(!), Bolg, Kavlax, the Lernaen Hydra and Baphomet.
Deepest unique killed - Fundin Bluecloak.
Biggest non-unique kills - probably Great Swamp Wyrm and Great Hell Wyrm (one of each). Both were easy to kill thanks to speed and Resistance spell. Then again I might just have been lucky - neither breathed on me.
28 artifacts found to date.

I don't think nether is necessary -- but your hitpoints aren't great, so I'd err for caution, but I'm not an expert vanilla player. I'd look for a good ring of con or other good source of constitution.

A lot of players consider nether optional, and I think I tend to agree. YMMV. You can always try to avoid undead. There's no shame in leaving levels.

I deeply recommend using sting as your weapon. Chaos resitance isnt' that vital either but Your hit points are very low.

Thanks guys, I will prioritise Con bonuses more highly than collecting as many resistances as possible from now on. Wielding Sting and wearing a Con ring instead of Barahir means I'll have to wear my GDSM again for rPois, but I'lll also have more HP without losing anything vital (I think).

Clvl 44, Depth 3550'

I decided to risk diving a bit and was rewarded with some nice finds. This kit gives me some more HP and a hasted speed of 31, although I have lost RBlind (hoping ESP will compensate). Killed Saruman with surprising ease, but almost got killed by Omarax the Eye Tyrant. Also met Uriel, couldn't do much to him. Kill counts now include two Great Wyrms of Perplexity and several Jabberwocks.
Comments always welcome.

Belthronding is mine! Just got it from a Great Wyrm of Thunder in a vault at 3800'. Switched from Aglarang back to Sting for FA and Con. This cost some Dex and speed, but overall I'm feeling fine. Oh, and Ungoliant is now dead.
Currently hoping for another source of Rpoison so I can swap Barahir to my +4 Con ring.

On 8.5.2006 13:05 donalde@pp.inet.fi wrote:
Barahir will do nicely, since any CON over 18/200 doest't add your hp. Heroic saving means that no spell will blind you, and since you have RLight and RDark, you are safe without RBlind. Gauntlets of Agility are useless, since you have so high DEX allready.

Your equipment choises are good, you have best possible kit you can have.

If you are worried about unique angels, consider carrying Glaive of Pain as a swap to bash down angels. But look out for their summons, and keep eye on your hp while fighting them.

One stack of each branded ammo is enough, you need also normal enchanted ammo for certain opponents.

One hint: learn to use macroes, they'll help playing. With macros you need to inscripe your stuff, but it makes enchanting ammo easinr, and also makes easier to shoot.

Sell spare copies of dungeon books from home, DEX 18/150 is thefproof. Store ?MassBanishment to home, for final fight. Don't bother japperwocks, any beholders, any molds. They don't drop anything worthwhile, and they are quite dangerous. Also, do not fight (grand) master mystics.

On 8.5.2006 15:42 Dragonboneman wrote:
Many thanks for your advice. I have acted on several of the points you mention.
I have been almost exclusively using archery so I hadn't really given the Glaive too much thought. Using fewer inventory slots for ammo will allow me to carry it, so I'll experiment.
As for macros, call me a masochist if you like but I'm quite happy using the default commands. Guess I'm just too used to them.

Clvl 48, 4350'.

Found a few artifacts since last update.
Cantoras is gone, so is Gabriel. In fact 78 of 84 known uniques are dead. The others are Omarax, Glaurung, Azriel, Uriel, Bolg, and (cough) Bullroarer.

Do you _really_ need Kelek? Only usefull spell in Kelek is destruction, and you can find plenty of scrolls to do the job. (and they are fail safe for emergencies)

Gondricam and Beruthiel are just taking slot in your home inventory, you won't use them, so sell Gondricam and throw Beruthiel away.

Try to collect ?(mass)banishemnt for final fight, also you need plenty of arrows of slay evil or holy might.

On 10.5.2006 12:29 Dragonboneman wrote:
I *am* collecting (Mass)Banishment, just not finding many. Haven't seen any Holy Might arrows at all. If I had found some I would definitely be hoarding them alongside Slay Demon.

I've hit Clvl 50. Found Calris, Anarion, and Bard.
What else? Oh yeah, I've killed Draugluin, Ancalagon the Black, and the Tarrasque.

On 10.5.2006 21:31 Dragonboneman wrote:
Oh, I also killed Uriel during my lunch break today.
Still not one poxy arrow of Holy Might to be found anywhere though.

On 12.5.2006 05:02 donalde@pp.inet.fi wrote:
Bard is your weapon of choise. It does more damage than Belthronding, since with Bard you get 3 shots of x5 damage, while Belthronding has 4 shots with x3 damage. And if you miss Belthronding's RDisen, carry Calris as a swap.

On 12.5.2006 16:09 Dragonboneman wrote:
I was slightly worried about equipping Brand + Calris because of the latter's aggravation. But once I got the Palantir (and ESP) I decided to risk it. Aggravation actually seems to help in some ways, like making it easier to lure enemies into a killing ground.
Of 93 known uniques, 90 are dead, with number 90 being Gothmog. The others are still Bullroarer, Bolg and Azriel.

By Brand I mean Bard. Stupid typo.

Sauron is dead! I need to replenish my supplies before going for the finish line though.

I nipped down to 5000' just to see how nasty Morgoth is. I learned that he's not a demon, which makes a mockery of my "plan" to kill him with Hurin (which doesn't even have slay evil!). Took one star off him, but read a scroll of *Destruction* and that ended the battle.
I was rather amused to notice that during the fight Morgoth summoned Bullroarer and Bolg. So they're dead. As are Azriel (found at 4950') and Atlas (summoned by Morgoth).
In all, 95 of 97 uniques are dead, with Vecna iand Morgoth himself being the survivors.

Is there any use for the gauntlets of Eol? You don't need the int, you don't need the resistances, and the (-5, -5) can't help. I suppose there's the activation and 17 AC, but otherwise they're useless, unless you plan on swapping out Vilya.

You're quite right. When I found the gauntlets they gave me a major mana boost. But they're now obsolete thanks to Vilya and the Palantir.

Had another major assault on Morgoth, but had to bail out again after getting him down to 2 stars. Found some awesome kit since, just building up my stocks before going for the win.

I've won! Never found a single arrow of Holy Might (were they removed from this version?) so did Morgy in with arrows of Slay Evil, melee and a smattering of Banishment. Killed Vecna yesterday so all uniques are dead.

BIG thanks to everyone who has coached me, either by commenting on this or previous characters, and to the oook community in general, and of course for everyone involved in creating and developing the game.
