[Dlvl Tower] [Clvl 28] 6:30

Took a look at the ladder and thought about what would be an interesting record to get. Elliott has a clvl 39 Priest winner, and I figured I could target that one. I usually don't kill a lot of uniques anyway, so this seems like a relatively easy thing for me to do.

The main difficulty is low HP. Thus, warrior for the +9 HD. Golem for extra AC, and Mighty for yet another HD.

Farmed 30k Quartz veins for 8 million gold, and then shopped scummed for a near-eternity. Have all resists covered, +4 speed, and 600 HP currently.

Additionally, I have the Ring of Sound Resistance and Experience Drain... I could always use that to bring myself back down before the Serpent fight. I think winning with clvl 30 should be doable.

[Dlvl Cloning Pits] [Clvl 32-> 28] 7:15

Cloning Pits complete, that bumped me up to clvl 32, and so I waited around to be drained back to clvl 28.

Vapor Quest gave me a good set of mutations, with berserk self, extra resilience, and limber muscles (also Extra Fat, which is not so welcome).

Should try to get another weapon at some point to replace the Trump dagger (which I earlier needed for RNexus). Hm, maybe go get the soulsword?

Old Castle complete, and drained myself back to 28 as typical.

Getting about 900 damage per round right now, although it's pretty inaccurate with the Glaive of Pain currently. Guess it's not meant to be dual wielded :-P

Killing Santa and Mycen and Saruman bumped my level up to 33 temporarily >_< Didn't want to go any higher, so I left Ancalagon and Habu for next time.

Found my favorite amulet, the Hell Collar. The problem is that I'm getting Telepathy only from my amulet right now. Hm, but I also have Thranduil...

Brand dropped his Xbow!!! Yay!

And in other news, my Magic Device skill really sucks. It took me 150 tries to activate my Rod of Enlightenment. And I had even intentionally boosted my INT for this. Hm, maybe I should stay at level 30 for the boost to Device skill...

Question: How are you going down levels? I would have thought drain xp, but your max xp is the same as current? Are you just resting with Stormbringer?

Exactly. Actually, I started this with my Ring of Sound Resistance and Experience Drain (which as the same effect as Stormbringer). That drains your max XP. When I say clvl 33 -> 29, I mean that the highest I've attained is 33, and currently at 29.

It takes something like 4 game days to drain from clvl 32 to 29 though, so I'm still being careful to avoid killing monsters without good drops (like Chaos Hounds, which used to be one of my favorite levelling targets).

Hm, he's just about ready for taking on the Serpent, with 2 notable sticking issues: (1) No _o*Destruction* sighted yet. And even if he does get some, he'll have lots of problems activating it. I might need to scum for more ?o*Destruction*. (2) HP still a bit low at 761 at level 30, even with maxed CON. Usually I'll insist on 950+ for the Serpent. Need to figure out a good compromise that doesn't kill me when I get double-moved.

Level 34 may be what I'll engage the Serpent with.. 825 HP before Berserk at 34. That's significantly safer than the 731 before Berserk at 30.

Uriel dropped a =oSpeed(+11), which bumps me up to +24 speed. Shop scummed for another 5 ?o*Destruction*, which puts me up to 19. That may be enough?

WINNER!

I made the final fight harder on myself than it should have been when I *Destructed* the Great Cthulu and caught the Serpent (at 7 stars) as well. Cut the *Destruction* supply way too close... 2 left, so 18 used. I picked a small-ish level for the fight, realizing my low supply of *Destruction*. (I found a couple _o*Destruction*, but couldn't get them to activate after like 200 tries >_<, so I destroyed them rather than let the Serpent heal off them.)

Used about 30 !oHealing and 10 !o*Healing*. The Serpent summoned Uniques many many times (Tiamat, Great Cthulu, Kaschei, Cantoras, Destroyer, Sauron, etc.). I was able to most apart and *Destruct* them except for the Destroyer, which was present in the winning screenshot.

In retrospect, Golem may not have been the best choice for race, because they get stiffed in INT and Magic Device skill. A Half-Titan or Balrog would probably have worked better (2 better HD, higher XP requirement, and bonuses to Device skill).

Oh, and the Oberon fight was really annoying, because Oberon hits to Blind, while I don't have a source of RBlind, so I couldn't Phase Door as much as I liked.

Wow! Does Elliott know his record has been shattered?

Next I think you should go for "lowest uniquest killed" at 2. If the Serpent summons uniques when 259 remain, does he always get strong ones?

Hm, only 2 uniques killed should be doable, but tedious. Every one of my characters kills Maggot and the dlvl 6 unique very early on to get a decent pool of cash to buy consumables with. Also, you wouldn't be able to kill any uniques that spawn in Cloning Pits or Old Castle, so for practical purposes you cannot count on getting either of those rewards. The loss of Shiva's boots will hurt the mid-game. Getting end-game gear with high dragons shouldn't be too bad though.

I recall a while back I challenged you to play an illiterate warrior. After this very agonizing play with a near-deviceless Warrior, I'm no longer sure the illiterate warrior is feasible. While Phase Door and Teleport can be had via mutations, and ?oGenocide and ?oMassGenocide are luxuries, the lack of ?oTeleportLevel and ?o*Destruction* are too much to handle (check out the screenshot with the Shamblers). Even if devices are still allowed and you use _o*Destruction*, you can't recharge them...

Not feasible? Lucky Dyslexibot answered your challenge :)

For device skills though, don't overlook amulets of magical device mastery or even gloves of magical device mastery. Being able to activate _Destruction, _Healing or even -Healing could easily out weigh any alternative gear, such as the Harness's (+15,+15), or Fingolfin's (+10, +10). No destruction for the end battle was a major concern, though, and was the main reason I killed 239 uniques before going in.

Yeah, I guess only killing 2 uniques all game wouldn't really be possible. Eventually, something weak would get in your way and you would accidentally kill it. But going for the lowest total is the challenge. Maybe killing only 30 uniques would be a challenge? Dunno. You really blew my mind with this CL36 win and I'm trying to come up with something :)

Oooh! I know: Lazy Yeek Tourist :)

... Or not! It has been done, and to me, would be *really* tedious.

Oh wow, you actually finished Dyslexibot! (I stopped coming on here for a while, so I didn't realize that.) That's pretty impressive; I don't think I would have been able to do it.

Hm... potion-less? Early game will be annoying without !oCCW, but a mage with access to Life and Eat Magic should be able to do OK in the endgame.

Potion-less and scroll-less? Still should be doable with a Mage with Life/Chaos.

Potion-less and scroll-less and bookless? OK, now I've stumbled onto the realm of absurdity.

Oh wait... potionless might not be so doable after all... I completely forgot about stat potions. Hm, so maybe if you start with 17 to STR, INT, and CON, and get lucky with stat rolls..

And by lucky, I mean scum for the right stat ups for the first 10 levels. Hm,

17->18->18/20->18/40->18/50->18/60->18/70->18/80. That's 8 stat ups. Times 3 important stats (STR, INT, CON... STR for carrying capacity; slightly less important). That's 24 stat ups. Assume two "doubles," so you need 22 correct stat ups. You get to determine 5 of them for multiples of 10. Let's say you scum for the first 4 as well. So you need 13 of your 16 non-picked non-scummed stat-ups to be in the right places. Ouch!

Yeah, I foresee Extra Resilient mutation as a must for this build.

Dyslexibot wasn't hard ... I'm sure you could have done it easier than I could!

So, wait, no scrolls and no potions? That is nuts! Maybe you should let yourself have stat potions at least. Also, what if your life gets drained? Oh, OK, late game life restoration. I'll shut up now cause you'll just win this way anyway!

Hmmm ... Maybe you can find Muramasa and scum it for Strength gain? ;)

Wait, I thought the Muramasa is destroyed with 1/2 probability when you activate it? That means you'll get 1, at most 2 STR boosts that way..

Mages really suck to play. I'm not sure if I like this challenge...

Yeah, but when its like 50% chance I miss a random stat boost, I often miss 12 in a row. So why not make 12 in a row with Muramasa?

Mages do suck. At CL40, you finally get a 200hp damage spell in Chaos. But the fail rate will be like 30-40%, and the cost will be so high you are unlikely to cast it more that 3 or 4 times before running out of mana. I don't get that class ... Its for the masochistic. But I still keep trying it from time to time. If you can make it to CL50, though, they aren't so bad.
