Currently playing a Lvl 32 Gnomish Weaponmaster. I hit a greater vault full of undead a couple of levels above the Casino. My stats took a beating, but I got a djinni ring (first time ever), Farslayer and a ton of other loot. Most of my stats were in the mid/high 20s and I've mostly recovered them. My equipment is pretty good (I think): Scorcher, Bracers of War, 7LB, Protector, Rings of Slaying, all the guaranteed artifacts (except the Cat ring), plenty of slayer ammo, crown of regen, etc. I can post the list if anyone wants to see... So, what do I wish for?? |

SoCR are helpful for melee PC's, but try to think about what can help your character in the challenges to come. You shouldn't have a problem with the Air Temple, so your next danger points will be the CL, Earth Temple, and the Archmage. Potions of confusion rule the CL and Archmage. As for the Earth Temple, perhaps consider a phase dagger if you don't have a penetrating weapon. Weaponsmiths have the concentration skill, so you shouldn't be too far, from being a decent spellcaster. If you haven't sacced the CoS, that is an extra 9 points of LE, to help with book reading. So a wish for 'spellbooks of acid ball' is not out of the question either. In any case, you should save the wish for after the gift shop. You would hate to wish for an item, only to see one on sale. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

CL = Cat Level? The cat died to Humanoid Slaying bolts. I just finished the Air Temple and am working on the Earth Temple. I have a Phase dagger I smithed up to (+7,1d4) [+1,+0]. I only have 4 corruptions and I haven't used any of my scrolls or potions of CR yet. I've got some decent spells (including Teleport, yea!). Acid ball is a good idea. I expect the Archmage will be a PITA. I've never gotten that far on a non-savescummed game. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 4/1/2008 at 22:58 (GMT -5) by EmptyOne] |

> CL = Cat Level? I meant Cat Lord, but if he's already dead, all the better : ) Just don't forget to have confusion and death ray resistance when you battle the Archmage. Some disabling potions, if you need them, and light source. You probably know that already, but reminders never hurt : ) Back to the wish: If there is any skill you like (except for alertness or healing), you could wish for that. Dodge might be worth a thought, but it will be hard to train it past ~50 or so. I definitely advise to NOT wish for emperor moloch. If you want quick exp. levels kill the Ancient Karmic Wyrm. Invisibility plus ~25 zaps of magic missile = a perfectly safe few exp. levels. If you wanted to use your wish for another AKW, you could kill them both with the same missiles. That should net many exp. levels, and help tremendously with the Archmage. On the downside though, if you don't know the magic missile spell, it might take all of your scrolls of charging or potions of booze. You may need those for emergency teleports. In any case, good luck! Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |

Reminders about the Archmage never hurt. It took me 4 tries with the last (save-scummed) character I got there. The 2 skills I've really missed with this character are Herbalism and Food Preservation, though I feel like I'm past the point where they will help me much. I know Magic Missile. 25 zaps would use most of my Magic Missile knowledge, not a bad use of it though. I found a Teleport book in the Gift Shop. I've never done the AKW, but all the big nasties have fallen easily this game, so maybe. In another stroke of luck, I found a Wand of Destruction with 2 charges in a Wand shop. D:50 could be very easy... Thanks for the advice. |
