so, you bard experts, how do you do it????? First what do you think is the best race for a bard? I mean dwarfs get a cavebear. pretty cool. any other suggestions? Second: How the hell do you do the carpenter? I mean my level 8 coward Wizards, dual wielding shields sometimes get killed by "violet-t" SMC is easy with a bard and afterwards i do carpenter and get killed invariably... usually on level 4-6 (of the dungeon that is...) What am I doing wrong? |

I generally avoid trying to save Yrrigs until I've got some armour. PV of 5 or 6 should be enough to protect you until you get back to Jharod. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

I only play hurthling bard so i can't say which race is best (...) but in general human and troll bards die faster (the former because of mediocre melee/missile skills, and the latter killed by ghuls) And for the carpenter quest, speed and DV are the keys. Using the talent system to get a pair of 7LBs at the beginning and then Careful-->Quick-->Defensive Fighter will give you a char that's suitable to save the purple t. |

thanks! hmmm... maybe i should level up until 5 in the SMC as I do with any other char. after clearing it with the pet of course... well, i think i'll try that tomorrow... One thing is that i always seem to find twohanded swords there. Once even one made of eternium. :) |

I play gnome bards, they pretty much automatically get 4 talents, so I can get the seven league boots AND treasure hunter... Bard luck, treasure hunter and gnome's high mana mean lots of good loot... Bards aren't that tough, so I like to hand around the ID for the first 5-7 levels. With the seven league boots it doesn't take much game time, after leveling in the ID you actually have time to do the druid/elder quest BEFORE saving the puppy... Then, of course, you can always tame yourself a nice killer bug or a wild boar to slay things for you. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Ok. I confess Bards confuse me... A few days ago I had a wilderness encounter with some orks. I sent my cavbear to kill them, he dutifully did so. Came back and killed me... Have no Idea why my pet suddenly decided to not like me anymore. And now I tried a gnome. she got killed by a pit viper in smc. In the epitah i read: She had the following intrinsic: Fate smiled upon her. ??? What? She was level 1, no altars or anything! She survived only a few minutes! Where did that come from? Heir Talent??? |

Wow, Time differince! It's only 5:39 in Ontario, Canada! Eh? There was a big snowstorm a little while ago, so I had had to shovel. Even with the Two Weapon Combat skill, dual-weilding shovels is no fun. |

That's why you should be a wizzie and use the Mystic Shovel ^^ |

Or improved fireball... ;) The rust monster touches your blessed Trident of the Red Rooster. Nothing happens. You laugh at the monster's pitiful attempt. |

I tried that, but my dad wasn't to pleased with the smoldering remains of our house. I guess my Wi was higher than I thought. Give a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day. Light a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life. |
