You could swap in the HA(+2) weapon. You would give up regen.
You also lose FA, but another +2Wis gives you perfect saving throw.
At least I think so. If you go this route you might want to post to rgra
and ask someone there to double-check.

Here are the relevant lines from xtra1.c:
p_ptr->skill_sav = rp_ptr->r_sav + cp_ptr->c_sav;
p_ptr->skill_sav += adj_wis_sav[p_ptr->stat_ind[A_WIS]];
p_ptr->skill_sav += (cp_ptr->x_sav * p_ptr->lev / 10);

Dwarf racial bonus is 9, priest class bonus is 32 base, +12 every 10 levels.

Here's the adj_wis_sav table from tables.c:
14 /* 18/170-18/179 */,
15 /* 18/180-18/189 */,
16 /* 18/190-18/199 */,
17 /* 18/200-18/209 */,
18 /* 18/210-18/219 */,
19 /* 18/220+ */

If I understand the code correctly, his save is 9 + 32 + 12 * 3 + 14 = 91 presently, 96 with 18/220+ wisdom. Perfect saves are out of reach until level 40.

I don't have the tables handy, but my rule of thumb
is dwarf priest clevel 35 wis 18/200 = perfect save.
Perhaps something has changed since 3.0.6?
It is not 12*(lev/10), it is 1.2 * lev.
My patch prints out exact numbers [rather than "heroic"]
so I know my rule works in 3.0.9.

Ah, you're right.

9 + 32 + (12 * 35 / 10) = 83.. so needs 18/200 for perfect.

I would swap in the [very nice] ring of slaying for Barahir, unless you lose a blow.

You could also swap Thranduil, Caspanion, and your cloak of protection for Holhenneth (*ID* it!), Thalkettoth, and Holcolleth, which would give you +5 speed but lose ESP. If you dislike using detection constantly, you could wear Thranduil and keep Holhenneth around as a swap in case you run into Titans or something else that confuses on hit.

Also consider using Nimloth instead of your HA dagger, for additional speed. Also, see if you can find any more gear ending with 'th'.

I find it unlikely that an Earth Hound dropped Holhenneth, btw :]

On 2.3.2008 21:54 new.ideas wrote:
Mh, I really got used to ESP - I think it's one of the main reasons this Char is still living, that's why I didn't swap Holhenneth until now. I think the HA is better than Nimloth because Nimloth only slays Undead and the HA slays demons, undead and (especially) all evil.

and yeah, I found it also funny that a single Earth Hound in a room drops Holhenneth. :)

Slays on a dagger or a spear aren't especially useful because the base die is so low, although Nimloth also has frost-brand. Going from (+18,+16) to (+11,+13) will hurt more - but picking up an extra 3 speed will keep certain monsters from getting a double move on you.

HA Dagger = (2.5 + 47) * 4 = 198, 208 vs evil, 218 vs undead/demons
Nimloth = (3.5 + 44) * 4 = 190, 218 vs undead/non cold-resistant

The +7 to hit will hurt a little more, but probably not too much.

Alternatively, consider swapping Holcolleth for your cloak of protection. rshards isn't awfully useful, and it'd bring up to +20 speed.

Nether resistance is your only real hole.. that and more speed and damage are always good.

18/100 dex is 50% chance of avoiding theft, 18/150 dex is perfect theft avoidance. Might be a good idea to carry a second ethereal openings book :)

Your HA dagger is so out-dated. I would suggest taking the Trident of Wrath (+2 str +2 dex -4 wis) on the next trip down and seeing how you like it. Swap your amulet of trickery for Elessar (+2 str +2 wis -1 dex -rnex -1speed) to keep 4 blows, 0% spell failure.

Rnexus has a couple of effects:
3/7: teleport player away
2/7: teleport player to monster
1/7: teleport level if fail save (your save is perfect)
1/7: scramble base stats if fail save

Teleport player to monster might be deadly if you get sucked into the middle of a room. The other effects are annoying but not terribly worrisome.

If you want to keep rnexus, you can also swap in Isildur's plate mail (rconf rnexus -rdis), Thranduil (esp -rconf), and wield Calris (rdis) instead. You'll pick up aggravate, but I don't *think* you lose anything else (-2 str -3 dex +6 con -1 wis).

You could also drop the slaying ring, add the ring of speed +8, and swap cubragol for belthronding, and keep using the trident instead of calris.

Damage (not counting equipment swaps .. elessar will be a big plus, losing the slaying ring will hurt)
HA dagger: (50 + 2.5) * 4 = 210, 220 evil 230 demons/undead
Trident of Wrath: (52 + 13.5) * 4 = 262, 316 evil, 370 poison-weak, 478 undead
Calris: (52 + 12.5) * 4 = 258, 308 evil, 358 trolls demons, 458 dragons

hey, thanks a lot for all the tips!

I've just found the Golden Crown of Gondor and in addition I own 2 =Speed(+10) now.
And yeah, I already switched to the Trident of Wrath but only get 3 blows, but it feels stronger than before, anyway.

I think that is the best combo. (4 blows, rNexus, ..)

What can I trash? my Home and Inventory is overloaded ;)

Sell Nimloth, the bolts of slay evil (you'll find mithril / seeker bolts in piles soon). If you don't use ammunition often, sell all but your biggest pile of slay evil arrows.

If you have 0% fail with teleport level, rblind and rconf, the only thing the scrolls will do for you is give you 100% success when stunned. If you're okay with the risk, you can always quaff !healing until not stunned and then cast.

Sell the wands of stone-to-mud and carry the mattock of nain (activate for stone-to-mud every 2 rounds, useful for breaking into vaults while avoiding line-of-sight of monsters inside). The crown of gondor obsoletes holhenneth, sell it. Sell your heavy xbow of extra shots too.

Just my suggestions..

The above comment about theft is wrong. Your level also counts,
so cLev 50 with 18/100 is perfectly safe. You have also made it to
the point where speed is no longer linear. Look for energy in tables.c.

thanks, mhyeah, the thing with the theft made me wonder, too, because i didn't remember ever stolen from this char in the last few days.

Found some nice Jewelry: Narya, Tulkas and the Necklace of the Dwarves.

I'd like the rNether of Narya but that would cost me +10 Speed - and swapping in Cubagrol would cost me rDisen so I had to swap in the AR of Celeborn and that'd cost me rNexus.

so...what is more important rNether oder rNexus?

+33 speed gives you 39 energy, +34 speed gives you 40 energy (move 4x normal speed).

+25 speed gives you 35 energy (move 3.5x normal speed). Not a huge difference, and with narya's combat bonuses break out even in terms of damage / game turn. There are only a handful of monsters with more than 30 energy, and none of them are big breathers..

Sting will give you a little bit more speed if you want it (27 speed = 36 energy = 3.6x normal speed). It's not blessed, so you'll take an additional -2 to hit and -2 to damage. Overall damage output is similar to the trident except against undead.

trident:
(51 + 13.5) * 4 = 204, 258 evil, 312 poison-weak, 420 undead
sting + narya:
(41 + 3.5) * 6 = 267, 288 evil, 309 animals / orcs / undead

Sorry, the above was without narya. With narya, sting does:
(47 + 3.5) * 6 = 303, 324 evil, 345 animals / orcs / undead

but I thought non-blessed weapons would raise the fail rate?

just killed Gabriel (and his *huge* army of Angel, damn) and Pazuzu.

I started to use Anti-summoning corridors and then these enemies are really manageable, but it was annoying that je teleported me several times out of my chamber (lacking rNexus, now that I wear the stuff as said above).

No, you're right :/ icky_wield adds 25% to the spell falure rate.. your easy spells won't be affected, your big spells will probably be. Check and see, but I'm guessing the increased failure rate will make sting not worth using - so worth selling.

rnether and rnexus are both very good to have. The high resists reduce damage by 14-50% (if I'm reading the code right!), which is helpful but difficult to rely on. There are a bunch of breathers that do big damage with nether .. but getting ported into the middle of a room of breathers will hurt far more.

If I were running your character, I would go with narya + one ring of speed + belthronding, and keep going with +25 speed until I found more gear.

rNether is unimportant. rNexus is important, and vital when stat-swapping would kill you. Assuming you cast/quaff/use temp speed boost before tough battles, when comparing energy you should add +10 to speed first. You should almost always use Narya instead of a second speed ring.

btw unblessed is not that big after cLevel 46 or so. You can still get 0% fail on the important spells even with the pointy penalty.

yeah, just killed Sauron who gave me the Long Bow of the Bard.

I rushed down the last 20 levels only looking for uniques, killing some Wyrms and avoiding the nasty stuff.

94 uniques seen and dead. I think I stay a bit around at 4950' for some items - and I would like to kill Tiamat, so Morgoth can't summon him.

What should I collect for the end fight?
Or am I ready yet?

This is my best char - my second best died about 2200', I think.

You have enough, but that doesn't mean you will win. I suggest you make a backup of your savefile and if you do something stupid and die, replay it a few times. I would just melee and make sure to phase before healing, but some people manage better other ways. The destruction zones are an advantage, so it is not clear how much you want to use rune of protection.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

After you said I could try it I went down, teleported through the level until i found him.
Mh, i just realize that i forgot to use any !Speed.
I used about 5 !Restore Mana, 1 !*Healing* and 3 !Healing and all my 5 ?Mass Banishment.
He summoned Atlas and Baphomet.
I meleed him without any Runes of Protection.
I think it took me 10 Minutes to kill him.
I tried to teleport away most of the summoned Wyrms.

Yeah, my first Winner!
Played Angband for about 6 months now and enjoyed it very much. I think I spent about 300 hours playing it.

Mh, now I think I'll try ToME or jsut another Race/Class Combo for Angband. :)

Thanks a lot for all the help here in the Ladder and in the Forum.

Congrats! 3.4M turns is a fine first win, and 6months is fast for a first win too.

thanks, mh, but 3,4M is the Gold and not the turns.
The Number of Turns is very high because of the Pseudo-ID Rests at the beginning and because the shop often had no [Exorcisms and ...]-Books.

It is 7M :)
