Not my highest level character yet, that honor still goes to Hobbity the Hobbit Warrior, may his soul rest in peace. Need to start seriously thinking about cleaning up the house. The staff of Dispel Evil was a good friend, and I am lothe to part with it, but it is not much use anymore. The drain life wands however are lifesavers. I have been fortunate enough to have at least one on hand since prior to hitting 500 feet. The boots are pre 500 as well. If I can get this guy to 42, I have a feeling that things will really be looking up. Any suggestions as to what to do to improve are welcome!

I like your character's name.
As for advice, I'd say you can go much deeper. RChaos protects against confusion, right?
Also, why are you wearing a STR ring as a mage? You shouldn't be meleeing much, if at all, and STR bonuses don't affect ranged damage.

Chaos resistance no longer conveys confusion resistance as of 2.90. If I needed any reminders, an Ethereal Dragon gave me a valuble lesson when he smacked me for 250 damage in one breath. As for the strengh ring, I will likely get rid of it soon. I have it just because all those rods and books would drag my speed down a point or so before long as I added things I found on the floor to my inventory. Before long, those rods will go and the ring with them. Frankly, I have not found much I care to replace it with. If I need the AC from the protection ring, I may as well melee, which I REALLY don't want to do. I like my enimies to say "Nothing is known about it's attack" :) A ring of speed would certainly replace it if I found one. I am a little afraid to go much deeper until I hit 42 and get Mana Storm. I got the tar beat out of me last night by a Dragalisk on 2400 because I couldn't kill him fast enough.

Got to level 42. I was hoping that Mana Storm would really change things, but I did not count on it's initial fail rate, nor the fact it destroys every item that isn't an artifact. With my luck it will destroy the first ring of speed that drops for me, and that would likely be +15. Found Isildor's armor, which finally takes care of my confusion resistance. Poor critter has no idea what nether resistance is, as I have yet to see an item with it. Hold life would be nice. I have some high hopes for this character, but I have never been this deep before. Any suggestions are welcome!

Slowly starting to crawl lower. Still have not even seen anything with nether or life drain resistance. Well, except for Morgal weapons, and that is right out. Saw a graveyard and banished it out of existence, which proved to be a good idea, as later I found a lone skull druj who nearly wiped me out. Should I continue going down, or should I wait for nether resistance?

If you are good at detecting stuff (as a mage you have no excuse not to be) and know what to avoid, you can go very deep and maybe not even die.
Flee high-level undead such as black reavers and druj, and also the likes of Azrael, the Angel of Death, who should NOT be messed with if you lack RNether.
That said, many players consider RNether and Hold Life luxury items - it is definitely possible to win without them. RNether can be very hard to find at the best of times- not many artifacts actually give it. Your best plan is probably to keep diving - very carefully - avoiding anything that you think might possibly be dangerous.

On 14.7.2008 04:45 PowerDiver wrote:
You are more likely to die to gravity hounds or to inattention while searching for rNether than you are to survive because you have rNether. If you don't know who is dangerous, do not engage anyone until you have seen them on 3 different levels. That should save you from the worst out-of-depth monsters.

Listen to dragonboneman and search out major acid breathers. I'd also include poison breathers, since with double resist poison breaths can mostly be ignored.

Thanks for the advice! I am diving down, albeit a bit slowly. Have yet to run into the critters you have suggested I hunt, but I have seen (and run from) Azriel twice. Sauramon Had to be battled 3 times, as the coward kept teleporting me away. Had one scary moment when a Master Lich teleported me into the middle of a graveyard, yet somehow I survived and managed to banish it. I now have a couple of amulets in my house that will protect against life drain, but will need to choose between that and disenchant resist. Any suggestions as to which to dump?

Disenchanted artifacts cannot be repaired, whereas lost experience points can be restored with a cheap potion or Evenstar activation. So it's no contest, IMO.
You can always find more rods, so if you're not using them, lose them. Ego ammo + a good launcher like Bard is far superior anyway.
Ditch the STR ring and lightning ring. I doubt you'll ever choose not to wield Thorin either, so pretty much any other shields are just taking up space. You can also lose the ego digger.
You can enchant Calris to +9 to-hit, you might find yourself wanting the CON bonus.

I have seen (and run from) Azriel and Tsalakus a few times each. Other than that, my controlled dive is going alright. Cleaned up the house a bit, but did not work too hard at it for now. Found my first ring of speed, but am unwilling to change out the CON ring or Barahir, which does both poison resist and that one CON that puts me at 200, which apparently give an HP bonus of nearly 100 from 190.

I finally found some boots with Rnether, I had to switch between them and my boots of speed, until I found Cubragol, which allowed me to change my entire outfit. I have had a special relationship with Tselakus the Dreadlord, as I first laid eyes on him on 1700 ft inside the most massive vault I have ever seen. While I was attempting to unearth it, I kept noticing him in my monster list and decided to check him out in the spoiler. What I saw sent me screaming back to town. Once I got Rnether, I finally decided to take him on, and the battle did not disappoint. In the course of our battle, he summoned Thuringwethil, Feagwath and The Witch King. I teleported them out of there, and mana stormed him inbetween banishments, until he finally fell. Soon after I tracked down Feagwath and took him out as well with minor difficulty. Then came the Witch King. All was going well until the bastard summoned a Lesser Balrog, who burned up my staff of the Magi. Even though the witch king was nearly dead, I no longer had any way to refill my mana, and I couldn't wade through his friends to get to him. So, I tried to teleport the friends in front of him, and the stupid wand beamed, sending the Witch King lord knows where. Therefore, he still lives. I later found Azriel, and expected a similar battle. However, Azriel seems to have a slight flaw. Chaos Bolt confuses him. Every time. He went down with a wimper. I am sorry I ran from him all those times while waiting for Rnether. But, such is life. I am glad he didn't kill me, nor has anything else... Yet.

Made 50! Really hoping to find one more staff of the Magi, I am immune to fire now, and I am running out of mana potions. I am using them faster then I find them noe.

That bloody damn Qlzqqlzuup is the bane of my existence currently. He may be nearly unkillable until I take out the rest of the uniques, or if he spawns in a hallway perhaps. The Tarrasque beat the crap out of me the one time I saw him. Even with disenchantment resistance, two breaths put me under 300 hp. Still alive though. That is what counts.

You're almost ready for the endgame. You need more CON though, which is why many mages swear by Calris. Sure, it aggravates monsters, but I've never considered that a major issue in Vanilla if you have ESP and good detection.
Those Holy Might arrows + Bard will do a lot of damage to Morgoth, but remember you need 30+ speed when fighting him. Sauron is speed 20 and vulnerable to acid brand, so use that against him. Slay Evil is the only thing that counts against Morgy, so don't use Orome.
I suggest going to 4900' and weeding out all other uniques, their drops will be better than at your current depth.

Only Vecna, Gothmog and that eternal pain in the nether regions Qlzqqlzuup remain, then Sauron will get a taste of my wrath. I am rather surprised at the fact that some of the high level uniques can be confused. Azriel, Kronos, Atlas, Uriel and Draugluin just wandered about as I pounded them with chaos strike. Surprised, but not complaining mind you. This game is hard enough without complaining when it throws me a bone. Finally found another Staff of the Magi, and with my fire immunity, that makes me quite the little spellcaster, in my humble opinion. I think as long as I am careful from here on out, I will at least have the opportunity to lay eyes on Morgoth, and if all goes well, perhaps even beat him.

A pleasure.
You don't need much more advice really. Take your time and I'm you'll be able to defeat all uniques up to and including Sauron if you don't do anything silly.
As for Morgy, just make sure you have a ton of healing potions, and use them whenever you're at less than 700 HP. Don't fight him on a full stomach, being gorged can get you killed. The fight will be long and hard, but you have all the time in the world to prepare for it.
That's it for advice - good luck!

If you get impatient hunting uniques, go after Sauron and teleport him away after he summons uniques. Kill uniques and repeat as desired.

I do not know enough about mages to know whether you should just melee with Calris. If melee is an option, groups.google on example final fight grove for how I melee.

I can't believe my luck! Qlzqqlzuup spawned in the most fortuitous place imaginable. Inside of a 3x3 room, meaning he was surrounded on all sides by walls and a door. I put a ridiculous amount of runes of protection down, covering the whole room, and the blasted the door. In the course of his summoning, he managed to bring out Vecna in the lone spot he could, and Vecna had nowhere to go. A couple of runes got broken, but, in the end, both were destroyed, and as I wiped the floor with Gothmog a bit earlier, I can now turn my attentions to Sauron, as he and Morgoth no longer have anything unbanishable to summon. Wish me luck!

Sauron is not a good host. He shows up, summons some friends, and teleports away. Fortunately, time was on my side, and I wore him down, since he could not possibly outlast me since I had my staves and the ability to recharge them. Then came Morgoth. He left a trail of hollowed out tunnels from the walls as he approached. I began by flinging arrows of holy might with bard, until there were no more, then put Cubregol back on and threw Chaos at him, banishing his friends as he summoned them. There was nowhere to hide, and letting him touch me proved to be a very bad idea, as he would drain the magic from my wands and staves. The earth quaked, and sections of the dungeon were destroyed in his furor to rend me limb from limb. Mana storms ravaged my frail form and he kept advancing. I had little recourse left but to continue the Chaos barrage, and was reduced to casting Phase Door to buy some space. It was quite a battle, and I saw my HP in red more than once, but in the end, I prevailed. His massive crown and hammer are now in my possession, and now the only battle left to fight is my addiction to this game. I can only hope that my victory was sufficient to quench it. Thank you all again for you advice, I will continue down to try to get more artifacts, and perhaps one day I will try a new character, but I have won, and after playing off and on for the last decade, it is a good feeling indeed.

I may have made a bit of an error. I could have sworn that I once read somewhere that if you used a *Remove Curse* scroll while wielding a permanently cursed object, that it would become uncursed for one turn, allowing you to remove it, and otherwise it would become cursed that next turn again. I placed Morgy's hat on my head to check it out, and tried to remove it just to make sure I could when I found the proper scroll, and I seem to have a problem :( Well, it's not the end of the world. It has most of the high level resists on it and I certainly don't need to worry about juggling my stats anymore, and although the weight drops my mana by 30 I can easily refill it and there are no more uniques to worry about, but it seems a shame that I will never wear another hat again.
