*random unread scroll* *read it and it's acquirement* "Hmm, had no luck with books this game so far, let's do this."  Don't let your dreams remain dreams. Mummys are still a goddam drag and going through the beginning of the game with only magic dart, conjure flame, and some random luck with wands as your means of defeating everything has been tedious to say the least.

So uh, I just ate 5 purple chunks as a GaFi and got the blink mutation and Agile I'm also wasting away, but since barely anything even scratches me that should be a non-issue until I can purple it away e: quote:The cyclops throws a large rock.

Does MR matter for Slime? I found a randart pair of gloves that has rCorr, but it has MR- and I'm not sure if that'll bite me in the rear end. e: nevermind found a randart ring mail with Str+8, Slay+3 and rCorr e2: jesus loving christ I would rather pull my goddamn teeth out than keep fighting Nagarajas. being teleported everywhere is annoying as gently caress, being teleported into a huge crowd on Snake:4 nearly killed even my absurdly OP character and I had to spam mutation-Blink and burn a tele scroll.

You don't have enough MR, but you already know this it seems. Honestly, after rPois, or even arguably ahead of it, MR is the most important resist to get, and just keep getting more of. gently caress rF/rC/etc, I'd rather run around with 0 elemental resists and a full MR bar than the other way around. lacking one makes you frail, lacking the other outright kills you.

It's not bad. You're going to want some armor eventually despite your abysmal aptitude. Troll Leather is good for most of the game, but you'll probably eventually end up in (Foo) dragon armor. Whether or not you want to go shields probably depends on if you find a demon trident or not. DD of Makhleb and MiBe are probably still the easiest starts.

Oh absolutely, to me an early source of rPois is a 'thank god' moment for everything you said, I mentioned it for just that reason, as it's such a noteworthy thing to have which even many newer players will recognize, but might not know how freaking important that subtle MR stat is

Just wanna vent a little, but it's BULLSHIT that Jiyva isn't ALWAYS found near slime pits. I've made sooooooo many troll monks in the hopes of just once trying out Jiyva and I always get denied.

Turtlicious posted:Is a Merfolk Gladiator with a focus on dodging a good class to ascend with? You usually want to wear the armour that maximizes your AC+EV while still allowing you to cast all the spells you want to cast. Assuming you hybridize late, you'll probably end up in ring or scale mail (or the equivalent dragon armours). While not being a walking tin can in those, you will absolutely get a large benefit out of training your armour skill in them, so don't fall into a trap of thinking "I'm an EV character, I should wear leather and only train dodging". That said, the Merfolk aptitudes are set up such that if your only goal is to win, you will have a "focus" on polearms. The absolutely insane rate you train polearms skill is by far the defining and best feature of merfolk.

I didn't clear every floor, just get to stairs ASAP and stair-dance anything that's unavoidable. Then I just blink-scrolled past TRJ and some other baddies to Jiyva's altar. It sucks but it's doable.

You don't need to clear Slime, the moment you convert they all turn neutral (i.e. burn some blink scrolls and/or haste potions)

I mean, your reward is getting Jivya to move all your stats from str to dex and then you die because you don't damage anything fast enough, so I wouldn't get too worked up about her being hard to get to?

I was gonna say IJC is the best god, but I see the name just changed. So, anyway, Wu is the best god. Earlier I took a single step next to the royal jelly and he died instantly.

The "you might get Jiyva in Lair but maybe not" seems like a dinosaur of dubious origins, I'm not sure why that's still a thing. I remember dealing with this and it's just aggravating. It seems specially pointless when nowadays there's no -cTele which makes the dive to Slime:6 more consistent but still needlessly expensive (it's not like you're about to worship an actual top tier god like Trog or something)

Plus, it's probably okay now that they're wands and not rods. e: Also I appreciate getting all the commits! I wasn't sure where to begin looking those up

a jiyva altar really should just be guaranteed to spawn outside of slime. the whole 'sometimes it rarely happens but probably not' thing is tiresome and they're not even an 'optimal' god.

Ughhhh this game is such a tease. I was getting bored splatting my troll monks, so I made a kobold hunter to ease my craving for crossbows. Find a nice reflect neck right away, looking good. Find some +2 gauntlets of archery, sweet, thank you floorgod. Start worshipping dithmenos for that sweet double crossbow action. Oh poo poo find +10 artfact venom crossbow, clearly this was meant to be. Die 3 steps after picking up the crossbow because of player ghost. Yyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy

Ok, I decided to try a VSMo^WJC and I had an absolute blast anime punching dudes to death until I died to the minotaur with a dire flail of crushing. I kinda feel like stealth works well because it lets you be a pseudo-stabber with lunging.
