I keep livesaccing stuff and am absolutely close, alignment N=, level 11, but still I wont get crowned. Why is this? |

Only thing I can think of that could be causing this- you have an item that's giving you the "doomed" intrinsic. A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

Dooming would be my first choice but; I usually go for a crowning in the late mid game before my final dive. This is done after getting at least 2 (usually 3) precrownings. Consequently, I haven't seen the "absolutely close" message when going for a crowning in a long time. I get the crowning at very close. |

How do you get it on very close? I always go till absolutely close but I have _never_ been crowned. :\ |

Funny, despite my efforts I've never been pre-crowned... |

Oh,another thing crossed my mind. No offence, but did you pray? Surely you know you must pray when you are absolutly close to get crowned, right? A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks.

echo - if i were you, i'd precrown first. you may crown regardless of what your level is, and precrowning has a lower level limit (praise the gb;). N(MBLNG) - you need not to be N=, L+ or C- to be precrowned, you know? do a (some) chaotic/lawful act(s) just after saccing enough to be precrowned, then pray. What do you wish for? *THUMBS* EM_ Silence. Silence. .... *THUMB* *THUMB* *THUMB* You die... |

BTW, what is the difference between crowning, precrowning and postcrowning? How many times can you be crowned? Do you always get a new immunity? |

Pre-crowning: Not extreme alignment (L+, N= or C-), has level limit (level >= 8+3*artifacts generated) can in theory happen 15(?) times, happens before regular crowning, no immunity, generates a random artifact, can change alignment after pre-crowning Post-crowning: Same as pre-crowning, but happens after regular crowning. Crowning: Must be of extreme alignment, no level limit, "can't" change alignment after crowning, can only happen once, generates a non-random class-specific artifact (also race dependant), grants an immunity, grants an amulet of current alignment. That should pretty much be it, hope it helps "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 |

Pre- and post-crowning is in fact somewhat misleading. It should be called "articat gift" or something. It's similar to Crowning in that you receive an artifact after building up high piety. But (regular) Crowning is different ina few way:
Yeah I know this is common knowledge. I just notice that people are confusing the two types. So we should call post/pre "Divine gift" [Edited 1 time, last edit on 6/23/2005 at 04:01 (GMT -5) by Molach] |

that'd confuse folks who didn't read your post even more, better leave things as they are;). What do you wish for? *THUMBS* EM_ Silence. Silence. .... *THUMB* *THUMB* *THUMB* You die... |

I always try to get pre-crowned one or twice, but It just takes TOO MANY Live sacrifices! also, getting the si, ankh, and ancient mummy wrapping, I'm too low a level to get more than one pre-crowning. How do you all do it? |

oh, I also hear something about cross-aligned prayer in the Infinite dungeon. Is that with a holy symbol and how does it work? |

Cross-aligned prayer has been explained many many times, but here we go again. Cross-aligned prayer is when you pray a lot, until your god starts summoninng creatures, and still keep praying a lot, and since one god gets pissed tha other two will start to like you more, after this, you just switch alignment, and pray to get (pre-/post-)crowned.

David: One precrown is something every char should get. More that one is a bit of a pain in the butt sometimes. If I get a good altar before dwarftown I can try to get the second at level 11 (have to buy ratling food to stay alive, saccing every monster.) L and C altars a much easier than N, because you can sac (almost) anything on them. If not I can get second precrown at level 14. Ill not go higher, because by this time I need to generate more artifacts to keep the game progressing (Elder quests, RotHK, Elemental Gaunts) Cross-aligned praying: Its used in infinity dungeon because you can do it on a downstair, and lock yourself in with doors all around. When youre done praying you can just exit the level, leaving all those summoned beasties behind. I presume. |

ok thank you very much you all! I have been playing adom for a long time, but I have never gotten a character past level 22, (rarely past level 15), and have only gotten fire orb once. I have never looked at spoilers in the past, but I just had to know how some good players do it! thanks. |
