I'm trying to choose a weapon for my DrCj, and I have these two to choose from:

u - the +12 glaive "Miqoiruts" (weapon) {freeze, rElec rF+}.
x - the +10 morningstar of Evisceration {crush, Str+4}.

Going to sink some XP into one - I'm guessing the glaive is better for midgame? (About to start doing Lair runes)

This is my DrVM of Hep that's going OK, and then I got this axe:

A - +6 war axe of Massacring {speed, rF+ Str+5}

Is it worth training axes right now and switching this bad boy out in late game, or do I just use it occasionally and stick to more casting? It's so good, I've never seen a decent axe of speed before in the early game

With Axes at 20, which of these is my best choice?

a - the +6 broad axe of Goihof (weapon) {venom, +Fly rF++ Str-4 SInv}.
b - a +7 war axe of freezing.

I figure the venom will be useful through lair and then I swap to the war axe, hoping I've found a good executioner's by then?

Ok guys, it is time for my MiBe to grow up and swap to the holy gods because I am determined this fucker will 15 rune.

So far I have the two lair runes, and I am not sure which to do next and at what time to swap. I guess maybe I want to keep Trog while I do vaults and slime?
Also, do I want to swap to TSO or Zin and at what time / in what order?

Rods out for Pakellas did great, we ranked #17. Floodkiller and Can of Worms kicked rear end with lots of wins.

Last tourny I got one 15-rune win. This time I got two 4-rune wins. Next time I'll get four 3-rune wins?

Thanks to Floodkiller for setting up the Discord everyone in there for keeping it fun.

Thanks team for being cool friends. I only ascended once but it was my 4th ever win and my first ever in a tournament so I am very pleased.

I'm an XL11 Gargoyle fighter with 14 in M&F, and Oka just gifted me this:

B - the +9 executioner's axe "Utuag" {antimagic, rF+ Str+4 Int+4}

Do I train up Axes? My guess is no since by the time I have them high enough to use this I'll have found something else?

I started playing around like, 0.5 or maybe 0.6. Today is the end of an era thank GOD.
Sucks it happened after the tourney but eh.

Anyway I went to single digit HP like, 15 times. I'm still a bad player, but now I'm a bad player :siren:

First time I've gotten 14 runes, up from my previous best of 5. I've only got gehenna left and then I'll finally be able to say I've "fully" beaten this game.

In hindsight I really should have left tomb for last, its so incredibly deadly and I was so incredibly stupid for not taking potions of lignification with me or buying shops out of scrolls of fog and silence. But I did it, and now I never have to go back there again.

Having juuust finished my first 15 runer... what's the benefit of treeform in Tomb?

I had it. Took 6 months off and then came back and 15 runed for the first time ever. This game owns but it gets insanely repetitive if you play it a lot. Playing for 3+ hours to just start being challenged by anything other than dumb luck can be pretty dull.

If you have disposable blink and are able to survive Abyss, do it. Blink like crazy away from summons and then just run. Works for Oka and Trog too.

Probably should remove okawaru since his two abilities are both basically parts of berserk and trog already gives gifts.

Remove humans too, since they can become fighters (coveted by minotaur), casters (covered by tengu) or stealthy characters (covered by spriggan)

remove fire magic too since its the damage only school and is therefore covered by raw conjurations

Then remove me, from this gay earth that has no high or sludge elves in it

Deep Elves only works as a name if they have something to compare to, so I suggest we make Shallow Elves, who are only able to use the most popular weapons and only cast spells if they see another unique casting that spell (because then they know it's cool)
