I've stopped playing for a while and just recently picked Angband back up. I've never really been that great at the game (probably why I stopped playing), so this character surprised me just a bit. Best character I've had thus far. Any suggestions are welcome, especially on what to wear. My take is what I have him wearing currently, though there are some nifty things at home. Thanks for viewing!

You should *ID* the axe of Balli Stonehand --- I don't remember exactly what it does but I believe its hidden powers are rather extensive. Or just check it out on this site's spoilers. Hammerhand, Rohirrim, and Caspanion all have powers worth investigating, and once you know them you can make more informed equipment decisions. (I believe you have more resists than you may be aware of.)

Also, I recommend you keep up a stock of !Heroism, ?Blessing, and ?Phase Door, which should all be available in Town. These are all *really* helpful and can sometimes make the difference between life and death. And save any ?Teleport you find --- unlike the staff, they are a 100% guaranteed escape (when you have RConf and RBlind, as you do).

Good luck! Oh and there are some especially nasty creatures you should be wary of at this depth... My memory of V is a bit foggy, but Dreads and certain summoning "p"s (such as Enchantresses and Death Knights) can be a real headache. And in case you haven't heard, Drolems and Ancient Multi-Hued D's breathe for tons of poison damage and you are just approaching their depth. I don't mean to scare you, just giving a little heads-up ;)

Yeah. I've looked into it. You're right. I definitely have overlapping resists, but hey, what can ya do? ;) You can always just click on the link to Balli Stonehand to see it. I figure its either Balli or Dagmor that I'd be using. Balli for disgusting damage and stat increases and Dagmor for the extra attacks. I figure I'd just test Balli for now to see how it works out... 5 blows a turn is nothing to scoff at as it is, right?

I definitely agree with the ?Phase Door, but I've really never seen any awesome use for the !Heroism and ?Blessing. Can I get a second opinion on that? Thanks for the luck. We'll see how this goes. If I have any huge advancements, I'll put an update. I figure for now, I'm not going down any further until all my stats are maxxed out.

Hammerhand would give you a nice boost to stats. If you can live with aggravation, that is. You don't need Holhenneth, Balli gives resistance to blindness and Caspanion for confusion

Yeah, but Hammerhand does not activate for detection. Holhenneth frees up quite a bit of space in my inventory because of detection. A wonderful thing, I must admit.

Just a small update. Not too much new. I haven't bothered diving any deeper just yet as I'm not exactly too confident. After all, this IS the first time I've been this deep before.

Gained a few levels from killing a couple of AMDs. Found Evenstar, which is nice... And now, I have a pair of RoD +10's, also nice. Now if I could only find some RoS's. Hehe. Any thoughts? Please feel free to comment!

:-( A very sad day this is to see my best character ever take his place in the graveyard.

Here's the scenario. I wanted to stay right around this depth until I passed stat gain (which I've never been able to do). Pretty upset about the fact that I didn't have any permanent speed gain yet, but I was fairing just fine... until I ran into a PAIR of 11-headed hydras WITH a pair of 9-headed hydras.

The hydras breathed their way to me, in the meanwhile destroying the 3 staves of teleportation I had, amounting to over 20 charges of teleportation. Without any teleport, I started gulping the dozen potions of healing to stay the course and relieve all the hydras.

Done deal, move one... I think that was my mistake. Because then I found 4 Dreads which quickly surrounded me and took me down. Lesson learned. With no heal and no teleport... I shouldn't have been adventuring. I should've returned home. The main problem was finding healing options!

I could only find potions of healing every now and again in the Black Market and the Heal Critical potions at this point were pretty much useless. Finding healing potions down in the dungeon happens every now and again, but its not quite what I'd call dependable. So what do I do?! Someone, please advise!

Rest in peace, Rhun. I've started another character now. Check out Cuilaque if anyone's interested.

You're probably not going to have much, if any, permanent speed by the time you finish stat gain. !speed can tide you over, and can help speed your retreat - bob & weave your way to cover, and hope nothing breathes again. Staying in LOS of multiple breathers is asking for either pain or equipment destruction.

As a general rule, you want to fight in corridors so you're not surrounded. Anti-summoning tunnels are the best, if you are forewarned and can dig them in preparation for a major conflict. An appropriately geared warrior should rarely have to quaff !healing, even against easier uniques. As you say, !ccw's healing properties are obsolete by the time you hit stat gain.

Scrolls of teleport level and *destruction* are handy to have around in emergencies, if you're lucky enough to find them faster than they burn away.

So, to some extent... You're saying I didn't quite do anything wrong. That I just had a run of bad luck... Well, all except that part where I kept exploring without teleport in hand. I guess that makes me feel a little bit better.

Quaffing your !speed in the fight with the dreads or hydras might have helped (assuming you didn't, per the dump). Having staves of teleport, !healing, !ccw, !speed, wands/rods of teleport other is a good dungeon loadout, so you were prepared. Just got unlucky and didn't bail quickly enough once your equipment was destroyed.

Scrolls of teleport are even better once you have blindness and confusion resist, since they will work 100% of the time. A stack of 15 teleport scrolls is lighter and less likely to burn in 1-2 firebolts/balls/breathes than 2 teleport staves.. but the staves are much easier to come by.

Famous last words: "I can hold out one more round before I quaff !healing" "I'm not into heavy stun just yet" "What are the chances they'll all breathe at once?" "He probably won't cast mana bolt / darkness storm / mana storm AGAIN" "5% failure probably won't come up twice in a row" etc.. angband encourages extreme paranoia.

Just read through this and to confirm an earlier point, !Heroism are certainly worth an inventory slot.

The big bonus is +12 to-hit for 25+1d25 turns (about 75-150 "moves" at +30 speed).

That's great for whacking uniques. Even better, the to-hit bonus stacks with blessing and holy chant/prayer (+10 to-hit +5 ac), and !berserk (cure 30hp, +24 to-hit, -10 ac) - temporarily giving up to +46 bonus to-hit.
