Level 17 HOPr who's in the middle of Vaults (though I think my gear is still a bit lacking.) I want to branch into casting (and already trained a crapload of spell schools for no good reason... I should stop that probably. What should I focus on as HOPr? My books include: Maledictions, Geomancy, Summoning [I think that's where I got Abjuration], some book with Recall [maybe TLoc?], plus Roxanne/Wizardry/Ice which I'm holding.) That's why I'm not wearing plate right now... >.> Just bought a (F)DA, but this rC- might be scary (I do have two rC rings though). What should I dump? My entourage consists of 2 warlords, 5 knights, 1 knight-turned-7-headed-hydra, Nergalle, a sorcerer, and a few others... still having some trouble make them pick gear up sometimes, but it's mostly ok. I shouldn't take my orcs into Swamp, right? (Though idk if I can survive alone through Swamp.) ... maybe I should be asking all this in ##crawl ... heh? | ||

You should probably stop training armour and dodging and evocations until you get some spells up, since you don't need more levels of those skills right now (and both haste and agony are extremely good). Fighting can stay on or get turned off, and turn off axes once you get that last bit toward level 20. If you don't think you can handle swamp alone just don't go there yet, the xp is not that important and there is basically no loot. | ||

Unfortunately my entourage is down to 2 warlords, 5 knights, and Nergalle... Cleared V:1-7; D:20 has Boris so I'm staying away for now. Probably going to do Snake -> Swamp (should I take my orcs along to Snake?) Oops the char dump isn't recent; I found a +3 orc plate of rC+ so that'll be my plate of choice, probably. I've basically been tabbing with buffs and orc recalls (well, mostly recalls). I have a pretty good book selection now, too. (I'm also listing spells that I'd maybe like, but if you could, please tell me why I'm stupid for liking them :D .) + Show Spoiler [books] + Cantrips [blink?] Death [dispel undead?, and I should get pain brand next] Roxanne (see above post) [Lee's R.D.?, Statue Form??] Flame [conjure flame?] Geomancy Ice [Cond Shield, Ozocubu's Refrig, Cold Bolt, Simulacrum?] Maledictions [Invis?] Spatial TLoc [cTele, Pass. of Golubria?] Summonings [Shadow Creatures?] Transfigurations War Chants Wizardry [lightning bolt, fireball?] Dragon [flight, bolt of fire?] randart Incunabulum of Reason (see above) (everything's covered) and a highlevel papyrus book... hopefully it's Necrominicon? + Show Spoiler [dump] + Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.10.0-4-g5f5999a character file. 343 the Severer (Hill Orc Priest) Turns: 70534, Time: 05:00:56 HP 176/176 AC 17 Str 21 XL: 20 Next: 46% MP 35/35 EV 16 Int 20 God: Beogh [******] Gold 875 SH 0 Dex 13 Spells: 13 memorised, 6 levels left Res.Fire : + + .

Quick rundown of notable items: Orcish plate on d6 or so (plate armour early is extremely good if you are going heavy armour), decent halberd and glaive pretty quick also. Find a +5 ring of protection somewhere, as well as a ring of wizardry. I go TSO. Find ice cave on lair:6. Get a glaive of freezing and a crystal plate armour of rC+ (ice caves cheat). I leave the ice cave with 5* piety (angels) and about 40 AC. Get a bardiche on the floor close to the ice cave too. About six or so book shops with nice stuff that I want to learn eventually. Yes despite the fact I'm wearing crystal plate. HO is like that. My jewellery includes rF, rC, rPois, conservation, amulet of rage, telecontrol. I have wands of heal wounds and multiple teleportation. Eventually I find a randart +3,+4 glaive of speed. I get to about 40 AC without my protection ring and then decide to start learning spells; it takes a ton of xp (up to 18 charms!!) but I get rmsl, shroud, swiftness, haste, flight, and probably can go pick up insulation when I want it. I grab apportation and blink also. Then to top it off I find a rod of inacc on d23. Rod of inacc is the best rod in the game normally. When you also have TSO halo boosting your to-hit, it is broken. Basically this game has just been a ridiculous run of "what good things is the rng going to throw at me next". http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/crate/crate.txt | ||

edit: lol @ 99% failure on summon butterflies XD (I actually accidentally summoned butterflies on a haste miscast earlier... thank you rng) edit 2: does your hat also have guardian spirit? o_O edit 3: died to ice ending of swamp despite two rings of rC+... -_- http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/343/morgue-343-20120319-204508.txt (shouldn't have eaten that ration LOL) | ||

I'm playing a local trunk tiles game right now because my internet has been acting up. Spider branch is so dumb - because the occasional zot-exclusive ghost moths weren't fun enough, you're now guaranteed to meet multiples in the Nest! Tiles is so much harder to read than ascii. Got banished by Louise - twice - because I didn't notice her in the mass of webs and bugs on my screen. It looks like .11 Vaults is actually going to be full of vaults? I've got this floor I've never seen before, full of themed monster vaults featuring related spellbooks. Interesting. It got me haste, anyways. | ||

Easiest game ever. Yes Bear Spirit has spirit. You can get guardian spirit on caps normally, but it's pretty rare. | ||

I was a DECj of Vehemut. So much damage but kinda scary with few escapes for a long time... I found a bailey and killed a bunch of orc knights early with mephetic cloud+deep water. Got me like 3 levels. :D Log: http://crawl.develz.org/morgues/0.10/mcpwn/morgue-mcpwn-20120329-012923.txt This thread got me into the game and was really helpful, so cheers! | ||

log from the latest win: http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/eeviac/morgue-eeviac-20120331-071749.txt I had some pretty sweet luck this last game (no inacc though ![]() -- and what is hopefully steak win 5 now underway - my MuIE^Sif just cleared lair 1. I chose this combo because one, I still haven't won a mummy, and two, spamming Ozo's Refrigeration with built in rC and no potions to worry about sounds awesome. - nevermind - got cooked in a volcano blast. I had one piece of rF gear, but it did just enough damage to kill me. Welp, back to Draconians! | ||

New personal high score despite the fact I left Mnoleg's level without realizing it. This was really a quite easy game for most of it, though the new dis really did a number on me because hell sentinels are crazy buff right now. HOHe of Ely -> TSO is quite good for going fast since you don't have to rest up at all until you abandon Elyvilon (you can just use minor self healing if you get hurt), and your combat goes really fast since you pacify most guys in D (which takes like 1-3 turns) and then you get a holy 2-hander for extended. Unfortunately I didn't find projected noise at all so Tomb: 3 sucked and I didn't ever ID my ring of regeneration since by the time I picked it up I had run out of ?RC and ?ID and I did not want to be stuck with a cursed ring. If I'd gotten Mnoleg's rune also this would be the HO high score, as it is I have to settle for HOHe high score and the highest non-Xomscumming non-15 rune score. | ||
