perhaps a drakeling necro would be handy - with music skill aswell. Necromancer slaves increase in power with the PC - if the PC is low level so will the slave. If your slave got killed somewhere it would probably destroy the game. And one would have a hell of a time trying to clear the fire temple. |

Back to the scavenger hunt... two rings of the fish completely stop drowning damage even if they're both cursed, don't they? So maybe a Merchant who specialised in rings and happened to start with two rings of the fish could do the Blup's mum challenge, if they could avoid the other monsters in the water cave. It's a pity there isn't more interest in playing the scavenger hunt - I feel rather guilty about competing with Duke Ravage when he hasn't won the game yet. Duke, my computer is going away to be repaired today, so if you want to catch up with me now would be a very good time :-) |

Hmmm...is opal a rare kind of gem in ADOM? (which worths 7 points) I swear i've seen that not a long time ago...(but sold it already to a shopkeeper for $$$ before dead)...can't claim for it this time...poor me >_< How about other gems? Do those "wished" ones count? heartache, therefore we live... [Edited 1 time, last edit on 4/22/2002 at 13:15 (GMT -5) by Killua] |

Yar you can wish for them, however if you've got a wish i doubt you'd waste it on this... win the game and you still got ur flag. Two rings of the fish do prevent water damage i believe - however anything there will pretty much kill you on sight. DougyDougy - Dougy - DougyDougy |

Well, how about a hurthling wizard that starts with a cursed ring of the fish and a spellbook of Teleport? Die Gedanken sind Frei |

However they cannot control the teleportation... mindcrafters get that ability immediately also note that if you have controlled teleportation you can pray for heal instead of wearing rings of the fish - two preys till the gods ignore you.

I'm back scavenger hunting again (I borrowed my work's old laptop), and I just sent in an entry for the literate challenge. Killed by an exploding spellbook sounds like it should be easy, but I don't know quite how to go about it. If you're a really magical character, you'll find tonnes of spellbooks but be able to read them all. If you're really nonmagical (I tried for a bit with high elven barbarians), you'll hardly find any spellbooks. |

It isn't possible to do THE BEGINNER. I mean it is, but in flg ADOM doesn't write it. I tried today. It's very hard to be humble, when you are great. |

I've been trying The Mummy 3 lately, and it's a lot harder than it sounds. The lack of herbs and altars really makes it tough to survive to level 13. You also miss out on the useful stuff you'd generally find in the SMC. It seems that spellcasters die from being too fragile to survive (no morgia roots -> low toughness) and combat wombats are eventually overwhelmed because they lack decent weapons and armour. One question about this challenge - is it OK to exit the ID and then reenter it if there's a river on level 1 preventing you from reaching level 2? |

Ekat: hrmmm i think that should really be part of the puzzle. it's not that hard to swim really - besides you're not losing much if you char dies. Most of my charactors i do start off in the id until level 13 then does the pyra - that's where i got the idea from. Herbs are not that important - levelhopping for eq and hope that you get some undead slaying or something firey makes it really easy. DougyDougy - Dougy - DougyDougy |

OK, will experiment with throwing my equipment across and then swimming (remember, no SMC means no waterproof blanket). Maybe the lack of altars is even worse than the lack of herbs. It means no blessed scrolls of identify and no checking the blessed/cursed status of weapons and armour before trying them. I tried a few priests for the Detect Item Status skill, but found that the tendency to start without any offensive spells was a problem. Maybe a trollish elementalist would be best for this challenge. They don't need to read spellbooks for offensive magic, they can survive in melee if they have to, and they can even create ice bridges right from the start. I'll try that tonight. By the way, eL, did you email Dougy the flag for the character who did the Beginner challenge? You'll have to email him to get put on his web page. I just checked, and he'd added my entry for the literate but not yours for the Beginner yet. (Oh, and The Patient Ranger doesn't actually have to be a Ranger, does it? I think to carry all those seeds you'd really need Strength of Atlas, which means a Druid would be easier.) [Edited 1 time, last edit on 5/6/2002 at 07:26 (GMT -5) by Ekaterin] |

I tried Strong As Steel last night, but the steel golem shrugged off all my lightning bolts, even when I'd trained the spell up to effectivity +14. Was the problem that my character was level 1? I suppose it would be cheating to make some of the "up to 10 kills" in the bug temple so as to gain a few levels. |

um, what does "scumming is allowed" mean? does it mean you can cpy your svg-files? hm. I like that "fuck"-challenge... I must try it right away *lol* "abuse your body" is also quite fun... i'll try that "immature" -challenge also...

eL said earlier in this thread that he'd won The Beginner, but that challenge is still unclaimed. What happened - did he just never mail in his flag? Stas, since it says "restoring saved games is out" I think no, you can't copy your save files. Scumming probably means stuff like Garth scumming and casino scumming - activities that the game permits, and that help you to build up your character, but that are regarded as abusive if done to excess. About Strong As Steel: _would_ it be cheating to take advantage of the up to ten kills to level up a bit? |

Nah i didn't get any email from that chap, so i can't really confirm it Hrmmm... seems reasonable that you can kill anything you want before killing the golum... there's nothing in the description that says otherwise... |

Ekaterin Moderator on this forum Last page view: 5777 days, 9 hours, 38 minutes and 32 seconds ago. |
You said "the up to ten kills just makes it a little easier getting there", which suggested that you hadn't thought about using them to level up in the bug temple. Oh well, it didn't help much anyway. I tried it with a Gnomish Druid last night, and I killed nine greater claw bugs, levelled up to level 10, and trained Divine Wrath to level 18. This time I managed to hit the golem with one lightning bolt before it killed me. I'm beginning to think that this is the wrong approach to the Strong As Steel challenge, and it would be better to play pacifist for a while until you have decent weapons and armour, then go kill the golem (possibly killing bugs to level up first). I tried one pacifist game (drakish bard), but accidentally killed five large bats when I kicked open the door to a tension room and it exploded. The character died soon afterwards, but I'm curious to know how people avoid this problem when playing pacifist. Iridia, you have experience with the pacifist challenge - can you help? |

Dougy, are you sure it's possible to do "Abuse Your Body"? I came very close last night, but couldn't get "Blind" and "Invisible" at the same time. Once I blinded myself, it no longer told me I was invisible, even after I recast Invisibility at myself. I think maybe the status line won't show Blind and Invisible because when you're blind you can't see whether you're invisible or not. By the way, when you drink a blessed potion of blindness, you get the message "Your vision clears." You aren't blinded, and maybe you would even be unblinded if you had been blind to begin with (I haven't tried that). Is this common knowledge? |

And about Mini Eternium Man - I assume that you have to head straight for the SMC, not entering any wilderness areas along the way, and not leaving once you've entered. Is that right? I got to level 11 with a gnomish elementalist, but then I foolishly let a very experienced giant spider get next to me, and died from its poison. EDIT: Now I got one to level 14 before I was overwhelmed by powerful nasties. Does anyone have any tips for this challenge? [Edited 1 time, last edit on 6/14/2002 at 07:02 (GMT -5) by Ekaterin] |

Hrmmm yeh seems logical that the abuse your body one isn't possible... hrmmm... Even a level 50 thief can't get it with the wall invisability ability... nor with item invisability... (i think i'll just have to leave it as impossible) ps. these days i don't really have much time for the net and adom... i got exams and all, if anyone wants to continue on with it, making ur own list or something - go ahead (: DougyDougy - Dougy - DougyDougy |
