I'm now going for the SIL (lvl 38 DE assassin, crowned champion of chaos). As far as I know, corruption is quite heavy in the lower levels of the ID, and I've already picked up 12 corruptions (all the 'acceptable' ones, it seems, the remaining are like - mana battery, unholy aura, corrupted tissue, poisonous hands and apish looks). I've got 14 SoCRs stashed away at Minstrel's. So, the question is - what should I do? Remove all corruptions now, and go into the ID hoping I don't get something nasty? Or take a few SoCRs with me, risking to lose them to something item-destructing? And how many of them, then?

i suggest you take 2-3 SoCR. For the Horde! [Edited 1 time, last edit on 4/13/2004 at 10:52 (GMT -5) by Mewto] |

Seeing as you're crowned chaotic, I'd say at least 2, maybe four for good measure. 14 is more than enough (I'd guess) to last you the rest of the game, so you can afford to lose one or two to a vortex or whatever. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

I'm already coming back with the sceptre, around I60 atm. Took 5 SoCRs, used two. And I'm not sure that'll be enough, sceptre corrupts by carrying, right? No, I'm not going to kick the thing around. Tried that with boots of great speed for demeted ratling - some stupid Ghost Lord came outta wall, grabbed my boots, equipped them, panicked, then I used half of my pickaxes trying to catch him. Btw, I though ID was good for loot? I've even heard someone praising it for a nice artifact generation rate. But the only good things I've found so far were a RoDS and a SoCR. And a couple of crappy spellbooks, which is especially strange, since I've found a lot of books in other places and was surprisingly good at reading them. On a side note: I *hate* minotaur mages.

About the looting bit, i personally go to about level 30-40 and level hop till a tension room of dragons or great wyrms is generated (Eyes of the mind is invaluable here) doing this i've gotton plenty of wishes and even preserver and the lovely shiny bracers once. So in my opinion it's a pretty good place to look if your desperate for a wish. Edit: Note i only do the ID scumming if i've abused gremlins to the point they are hurting me :) [Edited 1 time, last edit on 4/13/2004 at 15:54 (GMT -5) by Ferret] |

Yeah, that's very sad and depressing. Now, 3 or 4 SoCRs, a WoWi (6 charges), a GoGS and a heap of phase daggers - that what I call GOOD LOOT :-) Ferret, does that really happen? I've killed about 1500 of them this time (tried to pickpocket something good... only got 1 PoGA), and they were still wimps, dying in one hit and scratching helplessly against my armour, cursing me in high, desperate voices.

Of course its happens, i'm not lying! :) I've got the preserver twice from pickpocketing gremlins. Were you wearing the ankh and rings of luck? And was your pickpockets at 100? The danger level of the dungeon also greatly effects what items are generated. |

I'd put some of the SoCRs in Dwarftown to be safe, rather than trekking your way to the Mintrel. After you get past the eternal guardian, and find the shortcut, put them in Darkforge in a sealed (read, trapped up the yingyang except for the square with the SoCR, and locked) room. That way you won't have to go as far.
