I jumped 21 levels in one greater vault. Level 34 of CoC. I began as level 29 and ended at 50. there were at least six named ancient red wyrm dragons. Also a bunch of ancient dragons about 15. A ring of Immunity, SoCR, PoCR, obsidian shield, whip of the snake where among the treasure generated. Killed them all with ice ball. Trying to decide if this ruins the game for me. |

You only need to post this in one forums... Jeez. "I concur that we are both atheists. I just believe in one less god than you do. When you come to realize why you dismiss all the other possible gods out there, you will know why I dismiss yours. |

in answer to your question, yeah, it's fairly common for a greater vault to give that much xp. I suppose it's dependent on what the LE of your char is. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

Is it only me who misses out on things like that? I havent seen a greater vault in like 3 months not even being cursed & doomed. Stuff happens & you cant stop it, unless you can. |

I've never seen a greater wwault and I've finished the game five times "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

Ive never seen a greater vault before. Mixed smaller vaults are fun as hell though, as are the somewhat more rare Ratling vaults and Spidervaults. Gnolls/hyenas are my favorite though, as i love the axe class weapons. Are Greater Vaults only generated in the CoC? If one were to dive super deep into the ID could one be generated there? And is there such a thing as Truly Greater Vaults? |

My fav. is the HUGE dragon vaults that sometimes generate in the lower CoC. I have encountered vaults in the small cave, The draklor pass, High King's cave, the emperor moloch's place, and the village dungeons. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 7/2/2004 at 21:09 (GMT -5) by its author] |

you can't get vaults in the ID. I've completed the game 3 times, gotten to the lower COC twice more and seen the following greater vaults: 3 undead (pain in the ass. did two with a dwarf, ignored one with an orc: ghost = death) 1 giants (easy peasy) 1 red dragons (quite hard without any frost bolt, char was a barbarian) I think one more but I can't remember what it was.

oh and according to the guidebook being cursed/doomed increases the probability of generating vaults. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

One theory is that the amount of greater vaults you encounter is decided when you create your char, is random and nothing affects it. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

That can esily be proven wrong, Ive save scummed (yes i admit it!) and in different saves, different levels. ive gotten a lesser vault, died, reloaded and got nothing. |

I've also tried that but I always found a vault on the same level "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

Danielle, I was talking about greater vaults. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Yeah, the levels you haven't been to are usually random; however, the greater-vault levels might not be. Try saving every level, and the file just before you get a greater vault, reload repeatedly. You'll want to try with more than one greater vault, since it's possible there's a flat chance of getting one every level, AND a pre-generated (when the game begins) chance of getting one. Or you might just decide that's too boring and play normally. :) Die Gedanken sind Frei |

I also think it may be that all leveles are generated on entry of the cave.. so maybe saving before you enter and if you got a greater vault, try again |

The GV levels are generated at game start, same as fixed levels such as the Elemental temples, at least for the fixed part (the half part containing the vault or the temple). So nothing you do can affect them, except starting the game on a Friday 13th... The Great Wyrm of Order breathes light (more) - wow, you feel very smart! |

you start cursed, which may mean a greater chance of vaults generated. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |
