An upgrade of the bow (enchant it up or buy a new) and use of branded ammo makes a mages life much easier. Also - I'd keep a Staff of Teleportation in the inventory for when you're blinded. Confusion covered is nice of course. No Free Action yet will soon be a bit worrysome, but no panic yet.

You might want to use a cap of regeneration as a swap ... for lengthy unique fights when you rest up between bouts. Might not be worth the hassle, but it's a tool anyway. It seems like you're already thinking of this, since you save them at home. :)

One other thing - I'd take a STR of no lower than 10 at the start. I see it as an equivalent of a speed item and the cost is cheap whichever method of rolling up the character you use. You run along slowed by your inventory much as it is at a STR of 10.

In that line of thought - a +6STR ring is not bad for that low STR character. :)

The cash you have I'd use immediately to get an INT boost at the store service. The next couple of INT-boosts gives enormous dividends when it comes to your manapools relative increase. After that brand ammo/INT&CON-potions and spellbooks are the obvious cash-dumps.

Hope I haven't said too many obvious things - in that case I'll go back and hide under my rock. :)

I took your advice on purchasing an Int stat increase. I had considered it before, but thought I might want to save the gold for equipment if it ever showed up. Increased my Int from 18/60 to 18/81 with the one purchase I could afford.

I don't intend to go down lower then 950' before I get a couple more resistances covered and maybe some better equipment in those weak spots. I recalled back to 900' but didn't remember to grab a tele staff before I went, or even some ammo for my bow. The bow did come in handy when I had that coin stronghold to clear out. I don't think I'll be leaving 900' before clearing it this time though. I "have a good feeling..." (orange) and didn't see any OOD monsters (or even a unique) when I cast detect. I'm guessing that means there is either a coin pit or good piece of equipment...

As far as the low starting strength: Yes, I've been having to gather decent find into a corner of the dungeon level while I cleared it out and then return to pick them up before I left.

I don't mind the advice at all. I don't consider myself an expert (level 40 was my best) and I'll admit I sometimes forget even the simple stuff that I know. I don't think I would have gotten the intelligence increase if you hadn't said something. :-p

I got a better armor right before I dropped below 1000'. I still need rBlind, but I found the gloves of FrAct on my last trip up to town. I'm holding the gloves of agility just in case I get another source of FrAct before I find better gloves. I also now have the elemental resistances.

That is kind of spooky! :)

Colannon is a nice find at your level. Speed is speed is speed.

A stack or two of branded ammo (store service or found) for tough fights would be nice. Triple total damage against non-resisters is not something to sneeze at.

A replacement for your amulet and ring of sINT would be good.

Look for an amulet of regeneration or otherwise a WIS one for slightly better saves. Unless you find any of the deep ones.

Ring - I'd take INT,CON,STR, acuracy, damage - you name it, above sINT. I guess you've been unlucky in finds.

On 8.11.2006 06:27 Isaiah4110 wrote:
The stash of arrows in my house is for branding when I get the money. Colannon is definitely a nice one. The speed helps, even though it's only +3. I'm not sure why I stuck my old cloak in my house. I doubt I would ever need is since all it has is the resistance to shards and high defense bonus.

As far is drops go, yes they have been very weak. I think I actually had to buy the strength ring (I really needed it). The long bow of acciracy I also had to buy. Thengel was a drop and I'm pretty sure my robe was too. The boots and gloves I bought and have since been brought down by acid. I just saw the new poison trident to replace the electric trident. I've heard stories about people having trouble finding rPois sources, so I grabbed it even though it has lower enhancements than my old one. The sustain intelligence ring I found. It replaced a rCold ring. I'm not seeing any useful amulets. I just killed Ugluk and he didn't even drop anything with resistances. I pretty much find nothing. Rall's was on the black market, but I didn't have 230k AU.

I still don't have rBlind, so I'm kinda debating how far I want to dive. I know the drops increase when you dive...

Bought myself a Con increase and it went up from 18/06 to 18/38. I thought the most it went up at a time was by 2 (or /20). I'm not complaining though. Branding that stash of arrows (that's what they are waiting for) would cost be 88k right now if I did them all at once.

I got a source of rBlind... sorta. Too bad it weighs over 20 lbs. No way I can use that armor. Finally got another artifact drop and I can't really use it.

Make sure to check the magic shops for rings of protection. I think it was NPP that had those with extra high +def, but even the normal ones around +10 are kind of usefull early on. I usually try to get to around 100 def as soon as possible. Mages usually don't want to get hit at all but if it happens it can't be wrong to be prepared... And it defenitly beats your sInt one :)

The amulet slot... Use it as a place to store extra cash. Sell your searching one and go down without amu. If you can't find a Protection ring do the same with the ring. While it has some benefits for your mage, having two empty slots might send the RNG a message to drop more for that specific slot.

... Only if you believe in him in the first place of course.

Well That last trip got me a couple more artifacts. None of them are really useful to me right now though... Careth Asdriag *might* be useful in the ogre stronghold at 1450'. Would slay giant +1 attack speed be better than my Poison branded weapon in the stronghold? I'm going to have to remember to do some major stocking up on ammo and !oCCW. I don't think I will have the AU necessary (88k) to brand the entire stash in my house. Depending on what kind of money I have after stocking up on the other necessities, I might grab part of the stash and just brand that part.

On 9.11.2006 01:53 twilight_forest@hotmail.com wrote:
I'd use the Defender and carry Careth as a switch if it gets down to melee. Regeneration (works for both HP and spell points) is huge as a mage and defender gives that.

After the stronghold maybe carry the poison weapon as another switch, but it's vulnerable to inventory damage, so it's not a really good option. Poison resistance is nice, but not necessary until deeper, so I'd leave it at home

Also - I'd try and use the heavy body armor for rBlindness. Perhaps take a small hit to speed due to being overburdened ... since you have +3 speed and haste already.

Take extra special care when you actually descend to the Ogre Stronghold Quest level. Stay near the exit and don't be afraid to bail if it gets too hectic. The first rush is the worst. If you survive that then approach the rest of the level wisely and with caution you should be able to take it. But the first rush is the worst.

You might want to try to shuffle some equipment to get rBlind. At this point I would think that rBlind is worth more than rPois, so an idea would be to switch out your armor for Nienath, and weapon for your Defender axe (to keep Resistance). Idunno if it's the best thing, but it's an idea.

I also highly recommend many many MANY arrows, branded as much as you can afford, before you descend to quest level.

In addition to dropping my speed to only a +2 bonus (when I'm not carrying anything extra, just my regular outfittings for a nromal trip down) wearing Nienath encumbers my movement. Wearing Nienath and weilding the defender does allow me to use the gloves of agility instead of the FrAct gloves... Is the -6 to SP all the being encumbered does?

Barlowguy is right. 1SP less per pound is the only effect of having a total armourweight (body, cloak, shield, headgear, gloves and boots) above your classlimit. I think the limit is 30 lbs for a mage.

On 9.11.2006 07:06 Isaiah4110 wrote:
Thanks guys. In that case the extra defense and resistances (and regen), and the dexterity bonus are probably worth the small loss of SP and having to pile my stuff up as I clear a level then pick it up before I go. I will probably gain more in SP through regen than I lost from encumbrance. I'm guessing more Str won't really help encumbrance since it's a class limit then...

On 9.11.2006 07:19 twilight_forest@hotmail.com wrote:
Yes it's a class limit only as you say.

To get more *total* carrying capacity strength is the only thing that helps, logically enough.

IMO the game gives a bit confusing messages for the uninitiated when you get too heavy armor. Intuitively "encumbered by bla bla" could be the slowdown from the total weight of eq/inv, when in reality it relates to armor parts only.

On 9.11.2006 11:10 Isaiah4110 wrote:
Thanks again twilight. I had figured out that encumbrance was an equipment related thing. I didn't know that it was only related to armor (not also weapons) and that strength didn't affect it.

Now I'm thinking one more trip down to 1400' so I can get some more AU to make sure I can buy enough !oCCW and Arrows. I'm definitely going to take those 30 I was able to brand, whether or not I brand and take more non-normal arrows will depend on my haul I think. At level 30 I think I should be able to handle this quest, and it should bring some very nice benefits; both in drops and my reward. Yes, I have been very cautious in waiting to go down to the quest level because I hate having to fail quests. My only debate is ging to be whether to use the Int+4 ring or the Con+3 ring. The HP bonus is nice, but the SP bonus and the drop from 3% to 2% fail rate is big. At this point I'm thinking Int would be (pardon the pun) smart.

On 9.11.2006 12:31 barlowguy18@yahoo.com wrote:
I wouldn't worry about the fail rate as much as the SP. It's basically an HP vs. SP question. I'd go with the HP and take LOTS of arrows. I've seriously gone through over 200 arrows and about 100 branded arrows on a stronghold quest like this before. Make sure you have a few different brands of arrows too. I'm sure there will be ice ogres, and they will resist frost brand, so make sure you have a quiver with at least one brand other than frost. Maybe try to have 3 brands of 30 arrows each, plus 200 normal arrows. You can drop the excess at the entrance if it is too much to carry.

Alright. I'm all loaded up and I think I'm ready for the Ogre stronghold. Yes I'm slowed (-3) by my load, but I'm dropping a lot of it at the stairs. I think I have enough !CCW and I might be overloaded on arrows... :-p It took a long time to get loaded up, but on my last trip down I recalled with 38 AU and had over 35k only 5 minutes later (very nice coin pit). Are there any Ogre uniques and do you think I am loaded enough? (too much? hahaha)

Nice. I don't think it's possible to be too careful in Angband. Deaths happen from primarily from stupidity, then next from lack of planning.

I'm sure there are unique Ogres... so just keep your eyes open for any funky colored ones when they rush. I'd recommend just chilling at the stairs for a few turns before looking for them.

There is one Ogre Unique: Lokkak, but he is an easy kill especially for ranged. Teleporting him away until the rest is cleared might be a good idea. There are several dangerous normal Ogres though. The Mages can kill your inventory with cold and fire balls, the shamans cast way too many spells etc...

The biggest danger in those Stronghold however seems to come from boredom. After 180 ogres you might not have the patience to kill another 100 with care :)

Well, you're defenitly well prepared so... kill 'em ogres

Ogre Stronghold was really easy. Half of the guys died with one shot from a branded arrow. I dropped all my normal arrows at the start and didn't touch them. Lokkak took about 10-12 shots to kill. I'm debating another stronghold quest, but I'm afraid of a natural creatures stronghold. I might just dive and see what the RNG gives me. I've had some type of good thing on about 4 levels in a row. I think a couple were minor vaults, another was a coin nest. This is my current diving set.

Buy or find two more potions of Cons, one is enough if you're lucky. Hp only increases at round values, 18/120 in you r case. I don't think there are any monsters that can appear in a vault on 2k, but cannot appear in one at 1950...

Isildur and Barrukheled lose me 3 speed and dex, regen, and rShards, shards being the least important of the 3. I gain rSound and 8 defense. With Thalkettoth and the defender I have 456 HP and 297 SP, while with Barukkheled and Isildur I have 549 HP and 281 SP.

Are 95 HP and rSound worth the loss of 3 speed and dex and regen? And does equipment weight add to the total amount that you can carry without losing speed?

I hate nether because of the loss of exp. Nether bolts do a fair amount of damage, but it's nether lances that really hurt. Nether lances from Nether Wraiths that I've come across seem to take between 1/4 and 1/3 of my total HP.

So all the more reason to switch out for Isildur and Barrukheled, yeah?

And then you can afford to take one hit from one of them. Immediately tp them away and then just stay away from the section of the dungeon they tp'd too.

Reached level 38, after dropping to 2400'. My first trip down I had an orange level color (good feeling). I didn't see any OOD monsters, so I hoped I might find something on the ground: enter boots of elvenkind. After I had cleared out most of the level I found the arrows of slay dragon. Not 5 minutes later I ran into Smaug for the first time. Handy find? I think so. He didn't give me anything incredible (24,000 exp) though. I suppose it's just as well though because I had quite the stash of stuff to bring up already. I still have a few equipment slots that could use upgrading, but I have an ok set I guess. Thoughts?

P.S. Yes, I also found Theoden (better than Barukkheled) and the Glaive of Pain. Glaive was useless outside of damage. it was 9d6 (+0,+30) and provided fear resistance.

Nice find with Theoden for ESP and +3 CON, and grats on the Smaug slay.

As you've said, you're still missing rNether and regen would be nice to have. Also, keep your eye out to boost your CON by 3 more so that you get the max HP for your level.

Any particular reason you are holding on to Thengel and Careth Asdriag? (I assume you are keeping Gilettar for rPois just in case).

A quick spoiler search turned up 5 artifacts for your wishlist that have rNether and could turn up at 2500' and above:
The Bastard Sword of Eowyn Level (30, Rarity 100)
The Hard Leather Armour of Himring (Level 50, Rarity 20)
The Pair of Soft Leather Boots 'Dal-i-thalion' (Level 10, Rarity 25)
The Quarterstaff of Olorin (Level 30, Rarity 105)
The Trident of Ulmo (Level 30, Rarity 90)

Eowyn is nice for +4 Spd/Str
Himring and Dalithalion are good because in addition to rNether they have rChaos. Dalithalion looks like it is the most common, and you may need to drop a few floors to get Himring to drop.
Olorin would be nice to free up a ring slot to add another CON ring.
Ulmo adds regen and activates for tp away.

Good luck! (Which it seems you have with your boots! :P)

Thengel, Careth, and Gilettar are all ones I can get rid of now. I just haven't gotten around to selling them yet. Gilettar Just has a poison brand, not resistance. Some of those artifacts would be nice because they would practically make my amulet useless. Eowyn Might be on the top of my list for the speed. Himring would lose my rSound.

Well my last trip was productive... in a way. 2400' was "boring" on immediate recall, but I decided that was ok and I would clear it to gain exp (and experience with a character at this depth). As I was almost finished clearing it, a Draconic Quylthug summoned some demons, which produced Felin. I finished clearing the level and decided to sleep it full again. Itangast, whom I'd never before seen, spawned in the room next to me.. Thank you ESP for warning me. It came down to melee for the last bit as I had exhausted my ordinance earlier in the level and was out of SP if I wanted to have the chance to TP or WoR to safety. That actually proved not too dangerous in this case, but then some impact hounds showed up on the other side of me. I barely got enough SP to tele them away so I could rest I find out what Itan left me. He left me Evenstar, and a chest that produced Carlammas. Now I don't know if I want +3 Str and Dex or +1 speed in my boots, and I'm not sure which amulet to use. He should have dropped different artifacts. RNG need to look more closely at my needs next time.

On 7.12.2006 09:31 barlowguy18@yahoo.com wrote:
Evenstar trumps Sustenance, so that's an easy upgrade. Personally though, I'd probably go with Carlammas, because it will probably boost your HP quite a bit (How much? 100ish?)

Of course, if you are constantly bombarded by xp drainers and are unable to avoid/run from them, then go with Evenstar. But give Carlammas a try and see how you like it. If the drain xp is too much a hassle (and needing to recall to restore life levels) then go to Evenstar. Either way, they are both good to keep at your house for a while as swaps.

Since you're probably not doing much melee, stick with the +1 speed boost, unless you decide to hunt a unique that attacks with shards, then Felin could come in handy.

I almost ALWAYS find the Arkenstone within minutes of finding Evenstar (anecdotal, I know), so if I were you I'd also drop down to 2500' to make that (and other artifact finds) more likely. A lot more start to appear at that depth.

Finally... the Random Number God cares not for your needs, only for his/her own supreme power. The sooner you acknowledge that and repent the sooner s/he will turn his/her countenance upon you and smile once again.

I'm now level 39 and Carlammas improves my hp by around 75. I don't trust myself dropping to 2500' because I haven't even been able to clear out half of 2400' my past 3 trips down. I keep running into Ren and I'm not prepared to try to take him down. I decided it would be smart to grab some of my stock of arrows for this trip down to help with some of the tough guys. Nether lances aren't too bad now, but I spotted a Death Drake once with either detection or ESP and decided to immediately leave that level since it was small and he was close. I really want rChaos and rNether now.

And the deeper you go the more likely you will be to get it.

I'm a believer that it's best to stay on the dangerous side of the game because it will keep you on your toes and less likely to YASD. If you're ALWAYS on the lookout because you think you may be few levels too deep then you are more likely to not make careless mistakes. It's when I get too comfortable with my level or my equipment that I YASD.

PS- You don't have to "clear out" every level. Just stay there long enough to get what you want out of it, then get out of there. In fact, if it looks like you've got trouble when you first land on the level, then just book it right away and recall right back. That's the beauty of not being on a quest. It doesn't become scumming unless you excessively do it, IMO.

Yeah I know, but you know me. I hate not clearing it out. It feels unfinished.

I found a couple new artifacts, just Ascarbarad, and Forasgil though, so nothing amazing or really useful. I was glad that I was trying out Carlammas though since I just got dropped below 70 HP. I came across a vault with some nether hounds and a Death Drake in it, along with an acquirement scroll. I planned it out so that I teled all the nether guys away and got the scroll. I killed a couple of the hounds that I came across later individually. I was about to WoR out of the level because it also had Eol and Ren (both nethering uniques) as well when I saw a new ring. It turned out to be a mimic, but a couple minutes later I saw the Death Drake in the nearby room (thank you ESP). I haven't let any Death Drakes breathe on this character, and had no intention of letting this one either, so I went to the opposite side of the room I was in as he came through the walls. I was hastened and everything so that I could tele him away again as soon as he popped through the wall, but he breathed on me once right when he popped out and took me down around 350 HP. I must have bumped the wrong key because I didn't tele him away and he breathed again on the next turn. It scared me so much that I had to think for a minute what I was going to do before casting tele other on him again. I hadn't seen my HP below 150 in a long time. Then a Will o' the wisp showed up after I cast WoR and was trying to rest until it yanked me. It was a very close call because I was next to a wall and unhastened, so I wasn't sure how I would maneuver to get him to a point where I could tele him away, but I did and survived.

Wow. Close calls. Just keep on the good side of them. Living. Heh. :)

I was inspired and DL'd the new WIP, but I couldn't get past the first level. Lost five char's right off the bat. Combination rust, bad luck, plain ol suckiness. I hate early game. It's statgain to mid-game where I find things interesting. And who knows what endgame is like... I've never been there before.

It'd be nice if there was a way to start a char near statgain. It's just that first 1000' that kill me every time. (And, well, first 100' the past five times, lol).

You should defenitly carry some !healing. You can buy those in store so there is no reason to be greedy on those. Also carry some of those !rest. Your inventory is very empty anyway, and you are far under the weight limit. You also have no 0%fail escape with you. TeleLevel from book doesn't count as you could fall below the needed mana at the wrong point. Carry ?tele_level or ?destruction.
Some more things to consider: !hero to allow better shooting. Some 50 normal arrows to save mana

Thanks for the continued advice guys. The shop is not restocking !CCW very quickly, so my stash is extreemly low on those. I'm carrying !oRestMana and finding it very helpful. My first trip down I killed two elemental uniques. Vargo was very tough because of the plasma bolts. He drained most of my stash of potions, then I ran into Quaker. I had to be acreful with him, but I found him easier to defeat than Vargo. He was very easy until I got him down to 3 '*' and he started casting knives at me. Those did some damage. After getting some stuff to carry up I recalled again. On my next trip down I found Anguirel lying on the ground. I like it's speed boost, but I think the aggravation would kill me at this depth. I also found a scroll of acquirement on sale a couple trips ago on the black market. I bought it for 300k and at 2500' it gave me a robe [2,+14] or resist cold. What a rip off. Not much else to tell.

I see you also picked up your =rNeth. Grats. Also some fun arts to swap around with. Nice. :)

Have you tried out Anguirel for any length of time? Or do you get swamped as soon as you set foot on the level? It could be a boon in that you could set up a nice trap room with a run-around (to restore HP/SP) and wait for the monsters to come to you while you chill by the stairs.

Or do you have tplevel now? THAT is a handy spell to have. You're *almost* guaranteed to escape any danger with that one. Rather than having to wait for WoR to activate.

If I swapped the =rNeth then I would lose a lot of HP or SP. The speed on Anguirel would be nice, but I would lose ESP and HP, as well as gain aggr. I'm not ready for aggr at this depth. And if I use Ascabarad I gain HP, but lose my elementals and nexus. I could use the resistance shield, but I would lose poison. So I would have to use =rPois, but lose HP or SP. I think this might be my best setup for the time being. We'll see what else happens. A lightsource that did something besides light the area would be nice.

I caved and bought Kelek. Now I have banishment and mass banishment. Mass destroys all monters within line of sight and leaves no drops, right? Banishment lets you choose a monster letter to kill and you take 1d4 dmg for each monster removed from the level? The only books I've had before this character were Resistances and Raal's. I found Nimloth on my last trip down. That +3 speed is REALLY enticing, but I can't let go of the +3 Con and ESP yet from Theoden. Or should I?

I agree your current equipment is best for your current situation. Don't worry about those minor speed bonuses too much. You should be hasted more or less all the time now, so it is not 4 vs 7 but 14 vs 17 speed.

So I've learned that I need rChaos before I try the Balrog of Moria again, and still need rNether before I take on any but the smallest of nether using creatures.

I'd say that was a productive trip down. I've been chilling at 2800' for a little bit now, and I just killed 3 uniques on one trip, as well as found myself armor of elvenkind that gives both rSound and rNether which can replace Isildur. I also came out with Barahir. I need to rework my set now. I'm not sure if I will drop the Con ring or the Int ring for barahir, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to work Felin in there for the Str, Dex, and rShard. Using Barahir would mean I can sell the green shield and use the ancient red. Any advice on my new set? Am I on the right track and how would you complete it, or am I on the way to ruining myself?

Switching Barahir for the cons ring would drop you 5 points below max cons. You don't want that :) I don't know if NPP has 18/200 or 18/220 as max int. If it is 200, then Barahir for the int one would cost you only 1 point and you should do it. I wouldn't sell the green shield if I were you. Sooner or later you'll come across a speed ring and then it might come in handy again. I agree on the boot switch. Just remeber to stay hasted...

You have a powerful shooter, but you don't seem to use it?!? For mages damage should be magic > ranged > melee. Get a stack of seeker bolts or similar and brand them in the shop for a nice damage.

Int max is 220 and Con max is 200 in NPP. I recognised that problem I would encounter if I used Barahir, and I'm going to see if I can find a way to get my Con or Int from another piece of equipment. I Haste myself anytime that I see anyone get close, and I'm being extremely careful with any monster I haven't seen before. I am going to see what kind of equipment shuffling I could do to possibly incorporate Barahir. It's not exactly a necessity because rDark isn't super critical. I might not be able to shuffle anything and Barahir might have to get stored in my house. I should probably sell Calris... Haha.

I was planning on buying some Ammunition for the Crossbow before I drop down again.I just got it 2 trips ago, so I used my good arrows on the last trip down. That's how I killed the 3 uniques.
