i have a level 31 high elven priest, rather powerful character.

Ive never done the minotaur maze before, so i thought i might just do it for fun this time. So i entered at level 29(high as possible) and got through safely. It was completely not worth it as the 2 PoCC were not enough to cover the corruptions i gained and the stats i lost. but it was interesting.

now, somehow, i managed to get my climbing set destroyed in the midst of the traps in that place. (i didnt even notice) im stuck on the northwestern part of the map.

I know theres a climbing set at the bottom of the rift, but entering the rift needs a climbing set in itself.

I can only think of one solution: stay in the Tomb of the High Kings until a climbing set is generated, which will eventually lead to my death by corruption. (i have 2 PoCC and 1 SoCR with me, have ~4 corruptions) what do i do =/

If you have a wish, wish for one. The tomb will probably generate one before you die of corruption.

I *think* you can pray for one, not entirely sure on that. IIRC, you get pick-axes, but I'm not sure about climbing sets.

Um, thought you needed it to climb up to get to the rift! sometimes ppl get their sets destroyed on the fall down, which is why the set at the bottom helps.

If you really want to save this character scumming the bottom level of the tomb of high kings is your only chance. sooner or later (probably later) it will generate either a set or a wish.
of course, when ADOM knows you need a specific item, damn does it do everything to stop you getting it. once I got my only pair of thick gauntlets dusted with poison hands, and I figured my only chance was gremlin scumming as it would generate both food and the possibility of a pair of thick gauntlets. guess how many gremlins it took? FIVE THOUSAND. in that time an AoLS, a PoGA and a bunch of potions of stat were generated before the gauntlets. screw that!

Alex is horribly, horribly right =/

ive been staying at the bottom of the Tomb of the High Kings for a while now. Ive managed to obtain another AoLS, a heap of stat potions and other useful equipment (eternium platemails/ tower shields)

thick gauntlets =P ive seen at least 15 pairs generated this game, and the horrible irony of my situation is that i have 3 climbing sets stashed in barbarians glade ("damn these are too heavy, i only need to carry around one") and i didnt touch the ones generated in the pyr. and grem cave. to top it off ive never envisioned the day id use a wish on a climbing set.

i really DO want to save this character becuase its not every day BoW comes in a surge of power, NEVER found a pole arm weapon of penetration before, managed to save khelavaster WITHOUT draining every pool in existence for once...

in conclusion, corruption better not kill me first =/


i have one more question though: can i enter the rift without a climbing set? could it possibly be that the climbing set is only necessary to trasverse the mountains to GET to the rift? im more than willing to get my equipment smashed and risk the rift rather than sitting here waiting for corruption to rot me. right now im building my climbing skill to try. (using my pick axes to dig holes and climb out of them)

you can make a diary and then publish it! Oh, well...

GB says:
The Rift is a wilderness location found in the northwestern mountains, southeast of the dungeon containing the Tomb of the High Kings. The PC must meet several requirements in order to enter it. A climbing set is required (although ADOM 1.0.0 and g16p2, at least, have a bug which causes this to be ignored) and the Climbing skill must be at 100. The PC must be at least experience level 18. If the experience level requirement is not met, the game responds with: "You do not feel experienced enough for this daunting task." Willpower must be at least 20 OR Perception must be less than six.

Make conclusions :)

very, very impressive story. Adom, IMHO, really knows how to sour your life. I keep my fingers crossed.

ADOM is continuing to completely RAIL me.

I managed to get into the rift (turns out you only need climbin 100, and Wi 20+/Pe 6-)

Wander down to RL 1 thinking my troubles are over. Scan inventory for Wand of monster detection/ ? of monster detection. None. Thoughts: "are you $#@$@-ing kidding me."

Okok so then i teleport around the map randomly hoping to find that ratling. Not a one. =( =( =( I can only come to the conclusion that he got owned by the monsters down there. so now im stuck in RIFT without a climbing set, meaning to cant get to sinister library either.

moreover, corruptions are coming down on me hard. the RNG is not cooperating and giving me things like poison hands and mana battery repeatedly, meaning ive already used up my 2 potions of cure corruption.
