shouldn't you first try to play it before asking for advice.

read the manual

There is a beginnig to a walkthrough on my homepage
http://www.morio.tk
just click on ADoM and then to the walkthrough, it's a bit spoily so if you want to find uot stuff by yourself then I don't think that you should read it

Try the guidebook. It can be a bit spoily at times, but it won't tell you what to do to finish the game; it is not a walkthrough. It will however help you to understand what is what, game fundamentals etc. The in-game manual is also pretty good, press '?' and then 'm'.

And any specific questions you have, we'll answer 'em, just ask here. And we'll probably have an argument over something like whether or not it's better to store or sell an AoLS, or whether birthsign scumming is considered cheating...

I always get cursed when I shoplift -.- No fun. Then I go open a door and falls flat on me and I die not being nimble enough(even though I had the corruption EXTREMELY nimble =p)

Well, actually, you can shoplift without karma problems. Potions of invisibility help with that, but you can only do it once (if that). Drink the potion and pick stuff up until the shopkeeper notices you.

If you're Chaotic, even taking items (teleporting out, or blocking the door, or any number of strategies) gives you no problems with shoplifting and cursing/dooming. Those dark elves you're playing (may I suggest a tougher race, to start out? Gnomes, maybe?) are chaotic as heck to start with, so you'll have very few problems shoplifting.

Welcome cloud X2 :)
You load your crossbow with ammo of Iridia slaying. You hit Iridia exactly and slay her. You a thundering voice in your head booms "THOU SHALT NOT SLAY THE GREAT MODERATOR!!!. YE SHALL PAY FOR THIS INSOLENCE!!!" Suddenly Jan Erik appears! You are hit by Jan Erik's arrow of banning! You die...

Actually Iridia it is possible to do it several times..
If you manage to sneak out before the shopkeeper even begins to stare at your point, you can drink another potion and hope to have the same luck next time.

I have used this strategy to recive quick money in early game.
Take the first artifact you get that you don't concider a necessity, and sell it. Then steal it and sell it over again..
Did this 6 times in a row in HMW with the Black Torc, recinving I think aboute aboute 30'000 a time.. Quite a load at that time..

True. I often do the "steal & sell" thing with whatever's expensive and I don't mind losing.

funny, I never seem to be able to steal with
!Oinvisibility. I think it's because I'm just too much of a noob.
