Can artifacts be generated in infinite dungeons? How can phase daggers be obtained? What is a good place to gain exp... I´ve only managed to get to level 30, I have the orbs, but I doubt my chances in the bottom of dwarven caves |

1.) Can artifacts be generated in the ID? Answer: No, they cannot be generated in the ID, and neither can shops or altars. I'm not sure about forges, though. 2.) How can phase daggers be obtained? Answer: You just find them lying around; I found one in the casino, but that's the only one I found in alot of weapons. 3.) What is a good place to gain exp.? Answer: I don't know this one either; I was at level 28 when I hit floor 46 of the CoC. Found two greater monster vaults on two floors; 1st was an undead one, with plenty of emperor lichs. I went to lvl. 34 while fighting those monsters, and there was still over 200 monsters to kill. I would suspect that the Minotaur Maze would be good for experience, though. --- Hicpotboy ------ Hicpotboy --------- Less twitch, more mental itch - saying by me. |

Depends on your level of experience. In the beginning, the wilderness is good. (the puppy cave is also nice, because the monsters are difficult compared to other beginning spots and you're guaranteed an ant colony.) Once you're ready to go on to more difficult things, the bug temple and Darkforge are great places. (be careful with Darkforge, though. The golems are very difficult and the area's corruption rate is very high. On the other hand, you get a vault of weapons, a vault of armor, a small money vault, and some pools if you like scumming). The Arena is cool because you earn money while leveling up. During the last part of the game, D:50 is great if your character hasn't reached the highest level yet. (I only got there once, as a troll, and because trolls take so long to level up I was only around level 20-something. By the time I'd closed the gate I'd gained about 10 levels.) -Amanda Sedai, a save-scumming newbie. (Hey, at least I saved that little girl's dog. Gimme some credit... ;-)) |

I'd certainly like to battle in the lower levels, but I would probably need to find shop specialised in ?oCR ;)- , I'm gonna try the dwarven halls, and another option in the darkforges pools, crossing fingers and hoping to get a wish to obtain RoDS, getting to small cave and wishing for greater molochs. I have speed 200+ and a phase dagger so that could work. Halaa puuta |

Sadly you can't wish for RoDS - more generally, there is no way to wish for more wishes, or even to wish for a way of deferring a wish until you need it. Have you been to the blue dragon caves? I gained lots of levels in there the one time I got that far. Warning: it could be dangerous if you're not shock resistant. Does everyone know the "trick" for winning the game without too much combat on D:50? Spoiler Magic map the level, head for the levers (you can even teleport, but the hordes of monsters get in the way), and after pulling each lever, destroy it with a wand of destruction. When you've done that, teleport to the up staircase and leave. |

Actually artifacts can be generated in the ID, however you can only get them by pick pocketing. And certain spells. I pickpocked whirlwind once on ID:2. Phase daggers are kindof obsolete these days - any weapon of penetration is just as good. They're also rare so wishes would probably be your best bet. Experiance is really hard to gain in the middle game. Balors are brilliant for experiance - if you find one of those kill it. Kill as *many* cats as possible, if your past day 90 scum mountains for them. The cat lord is vunerable to wands of death - that'll give you about 2-3 levels. Wear the crown of science and cruise the wilderness for black unicorns and air elementals. Black unicorns corpses can be traded for PoCC. However the big room and PC:5 are good leveling levels because of their high rate of monster generation. Good weapon training too. The danger level will increase fast so that the monsters will start giving better exp. I once had a red dragon load in PC:5. Level hop the infinite dungeon between levels 8 and 9. That has a semi-high monster generation. (if your like me and want to keep your charactors safe) DougyDougy - Dougy - DougyDougy |

sometimes early on you can get trapped on VD:1 hunting for the secret door for 4 (game) days. happened to me, and the place had a monstrous creature generation rate, and most of them were some flavor of goblin. got to ~lvl 5 on that level alone. ivan.sourceforge.net |

once i meleed eternal gaurdians for experience after i'd gone to the bug temple too soon. wishing for emperor moloch is a great way to gain experience. but i think the bottom line is that if you want experience, go kill a lot of shit. the difference between mastery and grand mastery can be over 5000 monsters. just kill everything. |

You won't get surges of power in the ID, but artefacts CAN be generated in the "drops" from powerfull monsters (Dragons and such) even in the ID, especialy on the deep levels with a high danger level... All in all it's not the best place to go artefact hunting though. Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |

Yeah monsters do occasionly drop artifacts. But as Jan said it really isnt worth it. But powerfun non artifact items are quite common in the ID.I've AoLS many times in there. THE MESSIAH,I'm here now,Worship me. |

Re: lvl32 class ability for thieves By this stage in the game most PCs are crowned. And getting crowned chaotic isn't much fun. Since most PC's don't lose their crowned status, using pick pockets effectively isn't too easy. I tested it's effectiveness around the higher levels of the CoC and it's not too bad (lev 100 pick pocket). The best things i got was a potion of ultra healing and a ring of teleport control. Lots of scrolls of identify came out too. However large quantites of gold seems to be the most common thing to pick (i got 800 gold in one pick pocket). I didn't test this for too long so there'd no doubt be better items waiting to be pick pocketed. DougyDougy - Dougy - DougyDougy |

maybe i've been lucky, but i've found about 4 phase daggers and i'm on D:45... you should smith phase daggers, they use common iron and its one of the few ways to improve damage... i havent had problems with experience, i equip rings of mental stability +2 Le and i am lvl 42 at D:45... havent even started training yet... and i tot that artifacts can be generated anywhere? |

Artifacts can be generated anywhere but the infinite dungeon(though if you're lucky you can pickpocket artifacts off of monsters there). Usually get a message of a 'surge of power' when entering a level if an artifact is lying somewhere on the level. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.
