Is your BoH blessed? Are you carrying a ton of gold? Gold is useless by this point in vanilla nethack, as long as you've bought 9+ protection. Ditch it all. Spellbooks are also really heavy, so stash them and give them another read before your start the ascension run.
To be fair, I got a +2 silver dragon scale mail from a bones file of minetown lol.
I am extremely impatient, so i very well could die in the ascension. I dont really know what to expect from astral plane exept that riders are supose to be scary.
I kind of put my game on hold, due to exams. I was playing some new chars on and off for breaks and die miserably every time to stupid shit haha. I guess i got too used to my uber mage taht can literally melee all the demon princes (havnt fought demogorgon though) and minotars
Oh im kind of regretting killing all the aligned priests in my game lol. Unless one spawns in wizards or vlad's tower, I guess all my 50k gold in the stash is useless after all. I have 0 protection from gods lol. I got a -1 or something from eating ring of protection though heh

If you have jumping boots and wands of teleportation you don't even have to fight the riders (zap the wand at the stuff around you, then jump through the gaps ... don't actually zap it at the riders though!). If you have a wish left you can cheese yourself to victory at at least 2/3 of the altars by wishing for a Helm of Opposite Alignment (works for any of them if you're neutral and have a couple turns, but you can't become neutral if you're lawful/chaotic to begin with).
Wishing for a c corpse is pretty strong too, lets you just one-hit-kill most enemies in Astral (not the riders though). Unless you've genocided c, in which case you can't get a corpse.
I've only died once after getting past the castle, and that was to being really silly and taking off my gauntlets and doing stuff I had no real reason to need to do anyway.
Air is actually more dangerous than Astral most of the time imo, since it's harder to dodge Air Elementals, especially since you can't jump there.

tried protection racquet with healer. Got to minetown with buff dog and i was lvl 2. Found a magic lamp at the shop, did some credit cloning. Then i opened the last closet which i didnt clear out yet. A measly gnome comes out and zaps me with wand of striking for 37 damage. Wat gg

hooray for randomized enemy equipment!
iv been killed by gnomes with wand of death and other such nonsense. Reminds me of how brutal this game is, even if you know every nook and cranny of the game you can still get killed by any number of things.

so im fucked. Rogue level bugs out on me. I cant see any walls or stairs or almost anything for that matter. Im trying to ascend so no branchport possible. I should have kept a cursed gain level potion or soemthing... arg..
wait drinking cursed gain lvl potion counts as levelporting? Can i do it while ascending? I can wish for one.. but it might not work... uhh
OK I FIXED It. Disabled IBMgraphics on options ... onward to ascension !

You were level 30 with a maximum of 371 hit points when you ascended.
First altar was aligned so it was cool. Only trouble i had was with pestilence when i accidentally casted a forgotten spell making me confused then he cornered me and kept hitting me. I had to spam unicorn horn which was scary. Also, all my 17 potions of full healing turned into water in the plains of water lol.
I destroyed my +5 SDSM twice by forgetting to take it off while enchanting other stuff. I lost my +5 robe by praying in hell. I had 2 unused wishes at the end and like 6 life saving ammys. It took me ridiculously long to find the portal in planes of water cus it kept moving

Posted a Sports and Games OP up if anyone's interested.

NetHack isn't all too hard if you do a lot of research in it so you know what happens. I basically read about all the tricks and then did my first (and only) ascension a couple weeks after starting, then haven't played much since. Doing runs blind or partially blind is extremely hard, so if you were in that situation I applaud you.
One cute thing you can do on the Astral Plane if you have a wish, is wish for a blessed partly eaten chickatrice corpse and wield it. Everything gets stoned in one hit. The partly eaten part is to reduce the weight.
For those of you who haven't ascended -- You're probably going to be vastly overprepared for the above earth levels the first time you play, and as someone said before you're going to packrat a lot. I definitely did both of these. It's not a bad thing, but the elemental planes are not too difficult when you're that overprepared.
