Update on Chigger my Neutral Dwarf Assassin. He has progressed to level 21. I'm not save scumming this game. When my character dies he will die for good. :) Just wondering what I should do with this character next - or any tips of advice? Can any of you guys just give a quick run through my story so far. Never completed before but I'm spoiled with infomation. I plan to complete the Dwarf burial grave yard quest. I plan to finish Thunderer's quests (did the random kill creature question). Next I plan to go beyond the forest level by taking the Dwarven Halls (invsible assassin). This is my first non-magic character - is tough to get through the TOEF without magic like ice ball? have frost bolt - but would not last long as mana regeneration is very slow. I have rings of the fish and blessed fire/water towels. No rings of ice. I have resistance in most areas - see below. He has completed the villager quest. Gave the dead puppy back to the little girl. Went to the ID dungeon up to level 9 several times (staying away from corruption) Completed the Uninteresting dungeon Found 3 altars (all Neutral). Close to God. Not precrowned or crowned yet. Did the Pyramid. Did the Gremlin cave. Got the courage skill from the Barbarian. Went to HMV and got 1 of SOCR there. Went to the CoC and down as far as Dwarf Town. Got trained by Garth - very hard to increase St despite paying according the formula. Put 20K each time. DX and Wi are going up no problem. Got some Troll blood and Raw Mana - has helped very very slow Mana restore rate. My heal rate is comfortable after a few potions of Troll blood. He is permanently invisible since eating a invisible stalker. I have 1 potion of visibility. I think I need to use it to fight the final fight in the arena. "No invisible people allowed in the arena". :) Is this a problem anywhere else in the game? It's huge advantage to an invisible assassin. I tamed the big room and have some herbs going. The Demon daisies are good for training my Alchemy with carrot juice.

Have you got dragon slaying ammo for the AcWyrm? dip them in poison if you do and he'll go down like a ton of bricks :) i once had a hurthling thief kill AcW by throwing rocks at him :) that was fun. if your not going to get pre-crowned then you could go and do darkforge and hope to find red dragon scale and an even cooler weapon, and do the rest of the dwarven quests to get those potions of extra healing? 164 days! what have you been doing? |

Hey ChAoSmUfFiN, 164 days. Glad you asked - I spent some time in the wilderness (back and forth to Yergius for training) and scumming in the ID and got as far as Dwarf Town in CoC... I haven't really ventured into the corrupting areas yet. I'm currently doing the Dwarf Grave quest. I have loads of spenseweed for healing. A lot of time now is earning money for training. No dragon slaying ammo yet. Wow, does it really make it that easy? I'll see if I can find some. Would my current equipment be ok? I have only 1 ring of ice and 2 blessed fire blankets. Not much in the way of cold magic though. |

Well, just make sure that you do everything that you can before the ToEF. That would include all the dwarven quests, dwarven graveyard, darkforge, TotHK, etc. You have a powerful melee weapon which, coupled with invisibility and backstabbing, will make the rest of your journey a lot easier. However, you really want to use ranged attacks against the ACW if at all possible. You should be able to get off a dozen or so blasts of frost bolt, however, if you can find some dragon-slaying ammo (or just regular slaying ammo) then use your assassin skills to poison your ammo and take that sucker down! 2 blessed fire blankets + blessed ring of ice should be enough protection provided you move quickly. Try to avoid taking on the army of grues, demons, elementals, etc. and rather lure the ACW away where you can bring it down without interference (not too difficult given that you are permanently invisible). And please swap that knife out for something more useful if you haven't already done so! |

Ditto on the knife front - a decent shield will net you at least another 21 DV. If it's over 7DV itself then it'll let you train the shield skill for even higher bonuses (tip: find a spider factory and get surrounded - let them keep trying to hit you for a couple of hundred marks and then kill the ones nearby and start again). Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

Thanks. My fav weapon is the staves and other times it is the sword of slaughtering with a shield (have one at the big room store at CoC) |
