I have started a trollish necro (first one) LV19. and want some help with how to take the ACW (this is the first time I've taken the fire temple. yeah I know, I'm a bit of a newb. I've been playing since start of 1.1.1)

Read "need fire protection" topic,
Have preferable a invis source,
And FrostBlot the worm! (alongside with everything you see - all of them fear cold).
And yes, remember that unless you have two blessed RoI, having anything non-fireproof worn on you is not a wise idea.

Potions of Poison and Wands of Paralysis are quite effective.

By the time you are ready to enter the ToEF, you should have some decent non-flammable equipment to wear. I would even suggest getting crowned before entering so that you might have fire immunity bestowed upon you (wear the AMW when getting crowned), that is if you are going for a normal ending.

Still, even 2 blessed rings of ice don't always protect, so wear eternium (adamantium? mithril?) things and artifacts. And wand of paralyze+frost bolt rock.
(Personally, I defeated ACW with my first winner necro in this way: WoParlyz+frost bolt+quickling queen skeletal warrior [packed up ca. 200 bones for healing the guy])

I have everything said with the exception of 2 Roice (got one), and the wands of poison and paralysis. I have basicly every other wand in existence. especially WoDc. lol, I have about 40 charges of WoDc. I have fire immunity :D

RoI ain't that necessary - i almost always lack these and suffer almost no eq destruction in toef. you just need elemental gauntlets (for ring protection), you should also have the ankh (to put something indestructible into the neck slot) and a good armor (mithril or artifact). as a wizard, you don't need tons of dv/pv (use lots of blessed spenseweed instead).

remember to kill some gremlins first. it's essential for weapon skill training (a bonus of several thousands marks in a melee weapon is ok, isn't it?;)

If you have sufficient dv/pv it should be no problem. Just use some ball spells against them. If you have difficulties try leading a few at a time down the level. Btw they have high pv (40?) and they see invisible, so you cant go straight for the gardian like in other temples.

Weapons of penetration or phase daggers are good enough. Wear fire orb in tool slot should give you enough damage to take them out.
You probably have enough extra/ultra healing potions too - as a troll its good to use them, as they give extra max hps (and you wont get much hp from levelling up. (I always finish the game with spares of these.)
construct slaying ammo kills them easy enough too, but picking up ammo as you go can be difficult if they swarm you.
Acid ball is probably best against them, but I think all ball spells work on them.
Earth temple isn't that tough after ACW, really. You can do it at level 20+

yeah, don't fear the earth temple. as they can walk through walls, earth elementals always swarm around you, but that only makes easier to ball them to death (more elementals are hit per spell). they don't have very big attack bonuses and don't regen fast according to acidball's rate of demolition, so i've never experienced any troble there.

I find the earth temple to be the easiest temple byt the time you reach it, if you get problems, just lead the elementals and grues onto another level a few at a time

kk, I got lots of Blessed potions of ultra healing from the bug temple. I got every ball w/exception of lightning. got my phase dagger, ws10 with it now. and I suffer no penalty to fight with two of em. I might get another one that I saw in the casino (:D duel wield phase daggers)

by the way. should I go do the minotaur maze? I'm thinking not as I allready have 20 artifacts. (8 weapons) and I have 10 pretty damn good magic weapons. (I'm trained in all of em :D)

Dont go to the Minotaur maze. It's horrible. Unless you feel like looking for ages for secret doors, goig up and down fake staircases, etc. The minotaurs arent that bad, but the maze itself is annoying.
IIRC the minotaur mages can drain stats too.

Did the earth temple. Don't know what peeps are talking about! lol. I'm only LV26 by now. I still need 1,200,000 exp to Lv20 for the Unicorn quests.

should I do sharad-waador's quest then? I got shock immunity & enough good artifact equipment. but I've never done sharad-waador's quest.

I got no idea where to go!

You could do the Sharad-Vaadors quest, but remember to leave everything you won't need, on the stairs so your stuff won't get destroyed. Also be prepared, cause Barney can inflict a lot of damage, and has three attacks per turn which means that you'll have to be able to inflict massive amounts of damage in one turn to take him out (he regenerates, and casts powerful healing spells).

I never have any problems with Barney though, my the last time I killed him, it was with a hurthling archer, and it took only three arrows of dragon slaying
