Inventory prior to Cloning Pits
I'm taking alot of stuff but I guess better safe than sorry. All resists pretty much covered and I have a ring for the two I'm missing (Nether/Nexus). The Scrols of confusion are for Jurts and Bokrugs which can be confused and make them much easier. I figure I'll try and clean the bottom half of the screen first (although I know the Queen Ants are going to summon a horde of Fire Ants no matter what I do). Oh well - here I go.

You don't really need RNexus or Disarming or RestoreLife or MonsterConfusion for this venture, if that helps you open up any slots for whatever else you might need. I'd hesitate to go in with only 1 !oHealing though...

Oh, I do think the scrolls are must.
There are quite a few monsters can be confused in the quest, and if you happen to meet some powerful monsters, like, Ghatanothoa, Quachil Uttaus, or maybe lesser titans the scrolls help a lot. They are also cheap and you can easily discard them.

You don't need the rod of disarming for sure and if you ask me I'd have some scroll of *ID* instead. And, rods of recall and the ring of nexus resistance: maybe scrolls of recharging is better to carry.

I forgot to link this to my character but anyway.

On one of my trips to the Pits two of the random monsters were Spectral T-Rexus (which can breathe Nexus).l

I disagree with not taking ? of confusion - I always take them. Bokrug / Jurt and all the Melee clones in the top half of the map can be confused very effectively (seems like it's around 1 in 2 - Haven't code dived but it just feels that way). In this instance I used it on Jurts and Bokrugs and they all spent their time confused and stunned and unable to cast any spells. I didn't bother confusing the Trolls / Giants etc up top except for the first Rogrog (coz I felt like it :-).....

Disarming - I definitely shouldn't have take this.

What I should've taken was the Stone of Lore.... It was 3:00 in the morning and I wanted to try and get it done quickly.

As it turned out I think I ended up using 4 or 5 CCW's and 10 Potions of Speed - that was it. I didn't need to teleport, phase door or Heal once. (I should've used Staffs of Speed instead of the Potions but I was lazy and didn't want to drop one staff in case something happened to it - as you know my inventory was full.

All in all was the easiest run I had through pits. Was glad I brought Nether ring as there was a Greater Basilidk generated which breathed it twice.
