The following monsters were vanquished...Now i feel your pain Iridia, Your endless numbers of promising chars. absorbed by the powers of chaos. Well now here comes the story... Influenced by power, Lavos steps down the stairway into the dark and murky unknown. He had just bagged the Elemental Orb of Water and was feeling quite proud of himself. He continued downward through an open level. No problems here. He felt excited when he went down the next stairway, and he knew that could mean only one thing. Vault! Not a greater vault unfortunately but still proved to be quite useful. It was filled with many fire beings. From fire drakes to a great fire wyrm, it was definitely a good find. He persued through and gained three levels! (he always was a fast learner, *sniff*) Now on level 32 he thought he was ready for anything. "But," he thought, "If i had one more level, i would be unstoppable." This would prove to be a fatal mistake. He continued down a few more levels with nothing special, until he found level 48. "Ah, ha!" he yelled out loud. He had found the source of all chaos. But with no way to stop it. He still wanted that level though. So he decided to search the level thinking he would get his level and then go for the remaining orbs. He didnt have to go far. He found a few grues and got a level from that. He also got another corruption. Which made him remember. The Druid Quest! so alas, he moved upward, but didnt make it too far. He was now feeling the true effects of chaos. He found that he was not invincible to the transforming powers of it and soon, he took his last breath. But it wasn't much of a breath, for it was filled with the stench of ChAoS!!!!!!!! *sniff* it's a sad tale. Such a promising character. With such a sad tale. He will always live on in our hearts... _-=(Lavos)=-_ (: |

Hey you copied a lot of elements of that story from mine!! take a look in the thread 'you've played too much adom' But it is a very touching story. tears came to my eyes at how it must have felt being down there with chaos closing in from all sides, nowhere to go, nowhere to escape... Poor Lavos... *sniff* "What is this 'brain' that you speak of? Where can I get one?" "BoW, LeSsEr OnE!" "You're still alive??!! But I paid them so much..." |

[whine]Yea yea boo hoo. They're just numbers that your processor computes. Next time snip your flag.[/whine] Lavos you had some crappy luck with your corruptions. You got stiff muscles and mana battery early and probably the best corruption for fighters the apish corruption last! I must say: you had herbalism, a willpower of 12, a toughness of 12 and a dexterity of 1? Now what's wrong with that picture? :) Also, the black torc is bad for you. It curses you. Don't wanna be wearing evil things like that. :( If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

As well as being cursed from the black torc, you were intrinsically doomed. That's a very bad thing. It probably made the Chaos monsters punch through your armour and corrupt you far more than they would have otherwise. If you're very close to your deity, one small sacrifice will be enough to fix your karma (i.e. leave you with Lucky and Fate Smiles and not cursed or doomed). EDIT: I see that you didn't even have Lucky and Fate Smiles. What happened? Did you melee a lot of karmic beings, eat a white unicorn, or just get very unlucky with pools? Also, how could you spend a whole year adventuring? Did you do a lot of wilderness scumming? The background corruption gets worse after 90 days.

Ya, that's one loooong trip to the Ancardia.. U should do less wandering in the wilderness, use roads and plains more when travelling, not hills.. And get some 7LB. They 'reduce' corruption in the long run.. Icesus |

Well about the dooming, I stayed away from pools until the end was near. I was thinking if I could maybe get a wish (7LB) i could make it. I think that's what got rid of my Lucky and Fate Smiles Upon. Oh Well, I'm going for an Archer next. Im thinking gnomish. I did do a lot of wilderness wandering. First looking for some good weapons, and then some exp. It was my first time ever even getting close to this far (except for one very chaotic char. who killed everyone in Terinyo and that settlement and the dwarven town) so you have to give me a chance. If a gnomish archer is a bad idea then what should i use? Thanks! (: |

Never tried gnomish archers - you'll propably have some problems at the beginning, not much quarrels laying around. They train very quickly in crossbows (as quick as farmers in polearms), so it makes sense. I'm gonna stick to hurthling archers until I'm sure, that I can't keep them alive ;) A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

J. Registered user You'll never get rid of me Last page view: 5875 days, 36 minutes and 41 seconds ago. |
Actually they train a lot faster than farmers in polearms. All missile skills require half the marks to gain a level when compared to melee weapons:) And then gnomes require what, 3/4 the marks in crossbows? IIRC it's not quite as low as hurthlings with thrown rocks/slings. Maybe they need 2/3 of the normal amount? But, anyway... Elves are very good archers. I'd probably pick hurthlings over gnomes since they have more dex at start(and have food preservation!). For something a bit different try an orc or a drakeling. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

What about a Trollish monk??? j/k. I tried that one and it worked horribly... Now im trying some really weird race/class combos. None have worked so far. I've tried, High Elven Weaponsmith, Dark Elven Farmer and of course a Trollish monk. I know its weird but oh well. (: |

If u really wanna play it safe, play a bard w/ 3 or more beginning talents and get Heir. It's blessed 7LB at the start! I recommend an orcish bard of cooz ;) altough u probably need to start a few times before getting 3 start talents... Icesus |

Crimson King Registered user Last page view: 6531 days, 20 hours, 20 minutes and 50 seconds ago. |
If playing with a gnomish bard, you get at least 3 starting talents almost always. If you get over 4, you can go even get treasure hunter. That's why I like gnomes, they're good at everything, they get nice skills to start with, and they get a free starting talent. :) Joka vitsaa säästää, saa kaatumataudin |

How do you get heir? [Edited 1 time, last edit on 7/28/2003 at 21:52 (GMT -5) by its author] |

|
Crimson King Registered user Last page view: 6531 days, 20 hours, 20 minutes and 50 seconds ago. |
Boon to the family + Charming and then Heir. And it must be taken at lvl1, so you have to get at least 3 starting talents for it. Joka vitsaa säästää, saa kaatumataudin |

BTW, trollish monks are more powerful than you might expect. For example, Malte Helmert completed the game with a trollish monk with a self-imposed carrying limit of 100s. One orb weighs 100s so that's a pretty harsh carrying limit, you can't carry anything else if you're carrying an orb. That's right, no food :) You also can't visit the TotHK or the library(climbing set weighs 180s)... If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Just killed myself (intentionally) at the mana temple with a lvl27 trollish barbarian. And I can say that trolls are no more worth of playing. They've sucked alot since 1.0.0 because they now need even more exp to get levels. I wished for an Ancient Karmic Wyrm in the SMC with the troll barbarian, and whacked it off in melee (Yes, in melee, got an altar just below, and it took only 3 tremendous blows from my eternium spear of slaughtering). I got a one level from the kill. Worth of wasting a wish? No. And I even had the good and great learner talents + le:30+ and speed only ~110. With a trollish wizard or something, you it might be good enough to win the game, but with a pure fighter, it's damn hard. Joka vitsaa säästää, saa kaatumataudin |

My char.s don't get corrupted until lvl 21+ (I go after the orbs about lvl 15 and the water) then I do most of the land quests needed (I like to hunt dragons). As for races I only play elves, a drakling or so, I don't play trolls (I always play with spellcasters) but if I want a new challege I'll go for something else. |

Well I tried the gnomish bard with heir, but it's perception was way too low (i could only see two or three squares in front of me.) Then i tried the trollish bard with heir. It was the same thing. Well Im staying with the gnomish archer now. It's going ok, but i have a feeling i won't be doing too good when i run out of quarrels... (: |

That's the way most archers are. :). Trick is, get loads of missles of all sorts including many, many, daggers. That way, You can stay alive till you get a new weapon, those daggers aren't too good for Melee. (Except in Dungeon Siege. Heheh.)

... Well this game is getting too hard. The only char. i can seem to get to go far is a human fighter. From what ive heard, they arent such a good combo. Now i see why people savescum. (: |

If you want an easy start, human barbarians are great (2h sword and an amulet of luck are not so bad for starting equipment). And, as already said, priests are fairly easy too. Joka vitsaa säästää, saa kaatumataudin |

Have you tried archers? Try a high elf for example. I find them quite easy to keep alive if you don't run out of ammo. Just don't kill everything with the bow, you can really beat those goblins, rats and bats in melee just as easily. As some people reading these boards have noticed one of my favorite advices to give to players is that remember to train your missile weapon skills. With archers it's the other way around: you really remember to practice melee also:) Also try to avoid being strained and bloated to be able to run away if needed. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Yeah ive tried the archers, but its the HP. It never gets very high. |

You should get decent hp with the use of herbs. Morgia roots can up your Wi and To up to 25. BTW, juts noticed you were talking about an archer a couple of posts up. Doh!:) If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Yeah, well im trying a high elven archer now. On level twelve. I'll let you now later when i finally get somewhere. BTW what are some good ways to get wishes, or an amulet of life saving? I would like to try to stay away from thos pools if possible. (: |

J. Registered user You'll never get rid of me Last page view: 5875 days, 36 minutes and 41 seconds ago. |
A couple of good ways to get wishes are to find RoDS or WoWi. You could also just try to find an AoLS. Now where to find them is a completely different matter. I've sometimes found a RoDS in the UD and an AoLS in the VD so it's just a matter of luck. You've been to the pyramid right, and found some treasure there right? Well, it might be that somewhere else people have been buried along with some personal items, including a possible RoDS so pay them a visit. Spoiler Pools are a good choice, lots of fun things happen while drinking from a pool.that translates to: go and dig up a few 'great treasures' graves and kick some (emperor) lich ass!:P. Spoiler Then something else:Just have an altar ready somewhere to get rid of possible cursing/dooming and have a blink dog corpse stashed at a shop in case you get teleportitis and lose teleport control while drinking. You might also get some nice instrincts while drinking. Also fear some MASSIVE sickness you occasionally get while drinking, doing ~75 damage/turn and a few hundred damage with the last major fever attack... Spoiler One way of trying to get wishes is to dip rings into PoEx hoping to get RoDS. Best be in a dangerous place trying to do that(DH might be your best bet). Don't worry about wishes or AoLS at that level. You've got plenty of places to visit before needing that AoLS. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Yeah, cant do the dog quest now... been way more than 4 days. Spoiler emperor liches arent at my level quite yet. and what is a PoEx? If i dip any ring in there it wil be a RoDS? I dont know if this is a spoiler or not so im just gonna but it in here. I definitely want to save Khelavaster (or whatever ;P) I've gotten many of those "MASSSIVE" sicknesses before so thats why i wanna stay away from pools. BTW does anyone know what a high elven archer would get as a crowning/precrowning gift? (: |
||
|
J. Registered user You'll never get rid of me Last page view: 5875 days, 36 minutes and 41 seconds ago. |
All crowning gifts can be found in the Guidebook, so check there if you want to be spoiled. About the potions you asked: Spoiler First of all, if you didn't know it, pre/postcrownings are random, the lists in the Guidebook are the possible lists for actual crowning(it states so in the Guidebook but I just mentioned it in case you didn't notice it). Now, a PoEXchange, if blessed, will morph items to different items of the same type when dipped into. So if you dip rings into it, they morph into different rings, so possibly into RoDSs. The danger level of the dungeon level affects item generation so a good guess is it also affects the chances to get better items when dipping into PoEx. The dwarven halls are the most dangerous place above khelevaster(unless you're of a high level, which you're not, and go to the SMC). Also, a tip for using PoEx: you can throw them at monsters which will then change into other monsters. Sometimes helpful for changing cats into other monsters you can then kill without angering the cat lord. Oh and don't worry, emperor liches don't come up always from great treasures graves. You mostly get master liches, king liches are a bit rarer and you only sometimes get emperor liches. You probably want to wait for a few levels, get some blessed undead slaying ammo(or hope to get crowned with sun's messanger!) and teleport. When you dig up a grave, remember that you cannot shoot while inside the pit you have dug If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Well, ive already got some blessed ammo of undead slaying, as well as construct, and just plain slaying. Spoiler I knew that crowning gifts were random, but it seems like you get the same thing every time. :( Does Suns Messanger slay the undead or something? Or is it like the vanquisher and slays almost anything? On my last game I had a lot of PoEx but didnt know what they did so I didnt do anything with them. Sorry for all of these questions but after i get a RoDS how do i use it? (: |
