>>
>>128416008
Probably Hasty Ninja, either Klackon, Sprite, Centaur, or Demigod of Hermes.

Hasty is +2 right off the bat, Ninja is +3 and an extra +1 per 10 levels, and any of those races also gets +1 speed per 10 levels.

That's only +15 speed by level 50, though.
Ninja is only a total +8 so classes with temporary +10 speed buffs can become temporarily faster.

And if you really want to reach maximum speed you can play a monster race with lots of ring slots, or maybe grind for a billion boots of speed on a centipede.

>>128416325
Yeah IIRC reforging into lights is not a good idea cause it cuts the power in half or something like that

Give me some Sil tips for slightly past early game - I've read the pastebin.

Now that 1.3 is out I can make it past Orc Warriors to around 250-300 before I get whacked.

What are the best abilities to buy in each category? I got a feeling half of them aren't very useful and some are must-picks.
>>
>>128424562
You should pump melee and evasion early on. You could get charge or sprint for starting

Also I feel bad I just splatted a stealth char just after finding the short sword of Amrod that give bonus to stealth
>>
>>128424562
Google silstreamer on youtube. He has quite a few good videos of commentary on other people's Sil runs and explains why they do a lot of what they do.

As anon said, a good strategy is to just level melee/EV early.

Dodging/Flanking is a really easy to use pair of abilities that makes combat positioning much easier and lets you crowdclear like crazy.
>>
>>128424683
>>128424860
Any use for Song early on in the game? Out of my 15 games or so in Sil, I never ever got to touch it

>>
>>128426816

eh, it's not that surprising that you should have a reliable way to kill dudes (melee or archery with melee support - with defenses strong enough to survive the most noble 1v1 or 2v1 battle) or have a way to avoid dudes (overwhelming stealth with singing support)


If you have neither then I dont know what you expect to do when something remotely dangerous spots you...

>>128426816
It has a wide variety.

It's just that for beginners, the easiest method is brute force killdudes.

i'm disappoint in sil

this game randomly put me into an impossible situation which roguelikes shouldn't do

poor girl was so young, just 64 y.o... she ate everything, quaffed everything and died searching the walls [by resting near them as i gather it should work] till the last breath... were she escape (and find food) at the last moments, the minimal depth of 700 (btw it means that this depth counter is turn-bound not exp-bound) would effectively kill her anyway

also, how do you remove curse in sil except by a certain ability?
>>
>>128429784
Did you try to bash or tunnel into the walls?
Tunneling into a secret door automatically detects it in my experience.
>>
>>128429784
Well next time try to put some points in perception.
>>
>>128428919
Well there's nothing so Ill assume it doesnt do anything til I find a worm to test it

All this drain. I feel like this game wasn't really designed with ironman_down in mind.

>>128422294
>nobody answered Vine Stalker Fighter
Don't let the small HP pool fool you, the intrinsic spirit shield and ridiculous regeneration more than makes up for it. Once you get plate and fill your aux slots you'll become pic related, doubling as wolverine between fights.

>>128431364
eh... well ty
>>
>>128431881
How did you fall down there anyway?

Well now you know that if you have more than enough melee/evasion you can save some XP to invest in utility!
>>
>>128431881
>didn't bother with perception

it's a good idea to drop some points into that

you can get three levels in it for just 600xp, and three grace brings that to six, which is good enough and gets you access to keen senses

perception and will are sort of like the secondary attack and defense skills respectively, and you should be pumping those up slowly in addition to melee and evasion, even if it's only a few points here and there

For a stealthy sil win you need the song that puts things to sleep. If you sing it well enough, morgoth will fall to sleep and the crown will fall off his head so you can hit it with Angrist and take a sil.

>>128435281
dumping a few points into melee wouldn't hurt
>>
>>128435281
I'm not sure how good your singing needs to be to pull it off. Normally characters want a bunch more will to avoid Morgoth's slowing song, not sure if that will matter for this character or not since I haven't personally run or watched a stealth win yet...I'm not sure if Morgy will wake up for the chase during the ascent singing at you. But if he does wake up, you need 28 will (more likely 18 + FA or 8 + double FA) to be immune to his slowing song.

Also a staff of revelations would be ideal to help the ascent though it's not actually necessary.

You could try asking for advice in the ##sil irc channel, they have some much more experienced players. Especially if you post a chardump on oook for them to look at and then ask ##sil to look at it and advise.

Well I think I'll stop for now. This is getting pretty stressful- still no restoration.
I've managed to become effectively polymorphed from a mighty high elven warrior to a trashy edain tourist.

It's real survival though, I never though I would be so glad to have a scant 2 scrolls of teleport and a few potions of speed. Ironman kinda works in FAAngand since there are so many dungeons which you can descend in order in Hybrid mode.

Okay so I started PCB today, and there are few things aren't in the help files.
How do I get past rubble and walls with treasure? (tried searching around them for hidden doors as the newbie guide says but to no avail)
Do I walk slower while searching?
Can I make food out of monster corpses or I just have to rely on what I buy/find?
I can't read scrolls, is that because I'm a dumb berserker or can I learn that later on?

So how do you do it. I'm in dcss, and that's how I've been playing thus far.

>>
>>128439306
In DCSS you want to read-ID Identify scrolls, then ID your panic button consumables before read-IDing anything else if possible and only read-ID stacks in case you get into shit.

In Angband you get so much ID from scrolls, staves, or other sources that use-ID is almost unheard-of.

>>
>>128439556
Berserkers in PCB can't use any devices except potions. This includes scrolls.
You buy food. You can also buy dinner at the inn. It's cheap.
Just use the wait key to search.
Ctrl+Direction burrows through walls. Since you are a zerker you can probably burrow pretty fast.

use the tunnel command to dig through rubble or rock or veins of treasure. Harder material takes more turns to dig through or may be impossible to dig, depending on your strength and the tunelling or sharpness level of whatever you're wielding to dig with

>Can I make food out of monster corpses or I just have to rely on what I buy/find?

if you play monster demon you are forced to eat humanoid corpses... the tavern and the grocery shop won't sell you *that* meal!

some races also eat flasks of oil or wand charges

ordinary food isn't a problem at all, it's dirt cheap and plenty, you just regularly eat in the tavern and keep some snacks for traveling... quaffing potions give some nutrition if you manage to screw it up and end in the wilderness without food

on a side note, no teleport will likely end your zerker killed... play warrior for an easy all rounded melee class
>>
>>128439556
Zerkers are bad to learn how to play the game, they lose mileage pretty fast. Play an android rune knight instead, which is an incredibly overpowered and exploity combo that still isn't enough to make you win the game though, the guide is at the bottom the poschengband pasta

I don't think recommending a specific class for Poschengband newbies is a great idea, since it's more important to just pick what looks fun for you. If he's enjoying Berserker then more power to him. Part of why the game is so fun is that it has a billion class/races to pick from.

Also starting with rune knight exploit is a fucking terrible idea. You're satan.

Use-id happens in most roguelikes, but "just picking them up and using them as [you] find them" is not ideal in pretty much every one.

Yes, loremaster gives XP. If you want to speedrun a morgoth kill- for example, you will probably take loremaster since it's actually the fastest way to gain XP.

yes anon, you are.
>>
>>128439579
in dcss read id is 100% safe, the only scrolls that can fuck you are torment and vulnerability but are completely harmless without enemies around so you just have to wait out their effects

quaff id can be annoying because of mutations and pot of degeneration (if you're a caster getting a int drop or caster unfriendly mutation, tabbers won't notice stats drop ever unless it's something massive as -10 that i think can't happen with a single degen potion)

equip id once you have remove curse scrolls ranges from safe (cursed -X stuff) to annoying (drain on unequip in mid/late game) and chance of rape (chance of banish on unequip)

however when you reach the point where drain can be an issue and you'd be mad to splat you'll be sitting on tons of identify scrolls so there will be no risk

It means most of the advice in the short pasta is invalid, since the pasta assumes you are playing with wilderness on.

The advice about consumables to carry with you still stands, but you can't follow the walkthrough-style guide, since you don't have any of those dungeons to quest to.

watching hjklyubn termcasting retaking the lead of the poschengband christmas competition, trying to fight santa, when suddenly...

He's still alive, though he had to abandon the gear. Fortunately for him, he's already got the most uniques killed, though it seems like there's some bug mis-sorting him on the ladder as 2nd place, which should get sorted out.

Nice try by Exo (I think from /rlg) to try and snipe the lead with posting a first-place chardump a few days ago for the first time, with 18 hours played. Verrrrry dishonoraburu that was, denying the information to the other contenders. Well, Exo died and it looks like rwbarton should take this comp unless somebody else pulls a similar snipe.

>>128445859
It's not guaranteed to put you out of danger. It's a blink. It won't save you from ranged monsters (except maybe it will, but it's really random). It can land you next to a melee enemy you were trying to run away from. It can land you further in the unexplored territory. It probably won't help vs. ranged enemies. It damages you, which is not a positive thing, yes.

Yeah it was a santa comp. It was fairly fun, though there was a bug. To make the comp savefile, the comp organizer had to debug-mode the character up to high enough level to wear the corpse, then debug-mode him back to level 1. But he kept the level ~45 experience penalty or whatever so leveling up was stupidly annoying.

Fortunately this comp was evaluated by uniques killed (if nobody won the game that is), so the level penalty was less important. It's still why I stopped after my first session of play though. There's enough 30-50 exp grind in PCB without starting with those penalties at level 1.

Is this true
How good is angrist? Do I have to ID every fucking dagger or what?
I had a stealth archer build that took on the order of 100 tries (while using all my stat buff potions) to get the first sil off with a greatsword of melee humans (because the short sword I was using was not doing nearly enough damage), and the entire time Morgoth used ESP to kill my stealth, dug through walls and slowed me to fuck up my sprinting pillar dancing, and locked doors (which I had to burst with a freedom staff).
>>
>>128451796
Angrist is not an OP weapon, but it has the sharpness property that lets it pierce armor. That's very useful in general, and specifically very useful when silcutting because of how thick the crown armor is.

To cut a sil, you need to do damage against [+0, 15d4] defenses for the first Sil, 25d4 for the second, and 30d4 for the 3rd. On either the 2nd or 3rd sil, your wielded weapon will break.

>scum
why do people use "scum" that sounds like a bad thing. I'm actively halving the time needed to grind, because you *need* to grind to win poschengband.

I'm just grinding more intelligently.

Now, slapping immortality on a stack of 99 armors and selling them for 10 million, yes. That is scumming.

Or maybe you don't?

The wyrm conga is 100% kosher.

Scumming doesn't mean "something that is bad or exploitative".
>>
>>128461567
>Scumming doesn't mean "something that is bad or exploitative".

...yes, anon. That is how it is used in the roguelike genre. Savescumming is the first thing that comes in my mind.

Take a loot for example at these pages with exploits
http://ancardia.wikia.com/wiki/Scumming
http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Start_scumming
http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Save_scumming

Basically "scumming" is a multipurpose verb used to describe actions that vary from exploiting to outright cheating.
>>
>>128461931
That's fair, but I'd argue that the wyrm conga is exploitative, but not bad. Because you know, it's PCB. If you grinded it out the way god intended it'd be completely miserable.

>>
>>128482197
>I'll probably start cloning ancient red dragons or something.
do you get fire immunity or something? also, remember to put "clone" in your autopickup before you autodestroy it.
Powereleveling a thing with HP shittier than a yeek that does not have acid immunity like a yeek and that levels four times slower than a yeek is a problem.
Hounds, I guess? keep going up and down the main staircase in the forest and hope for light/shadow hounds mobs. That should bump you a few level, but your horrible xp penalty will make this thing impossible soon.
I wish cloning was more common, holy shit. Always check the black market to see if they're carrying a wand of cloning.

yeah bragging rights and the fact that they are actually very strong. Note for example that combined they give immunity to the three elements that the serpent has auras of.

Ideally you get The Stick of Halfheart from Morgoth and use it against the Serpent (and everything else), without having to fight the other two before winning.

Can't decide on my weapon /rlg/

+23 to hit, damage for 8d5+5 (Big Punch w/ level 1 in maces)
or
+42 to hit, damage for 3d6+24 (Rolf's Companion w/ level 10 in axes and the shield bonus)

Dwarven Priest, so catching up the maces level won't be awful, but hardly super easy at this point either.

I'll be using the Rolf Shield for now regardless of the choice, but staying with the axe kind of commits me to the shield too.

I'm kind of invested in the Axe though simply because it let me two-shot the greater daemon.

hmm it's still okay, IIRC you'll get disenchantment resistance which is nice. Demigods are usually pretty solid, with the obvious downside of a large exp penalty.

a lot of that will depend on how many blows per round you end up getting wit each. Big Punch is very heavy so you may not be able to swing it many times per turn without super high str/dex.

i have a demigod of artemis archer who killed oberon in pcb but didn't dare to approach the serpent, she's alive and parked for more than a year too.. 99th lvl of angband;

but that's mostly because i cannot stand the idea of grinding consumables and the more so killing all the dangerous uniques, i already killed oberon before with a human archer who died to stray nodens trying to grind !healing, so i was there already

>>128485201
Yeah.

That's the other reason why it'd just feel wrong to ditch the axe already. Looking a gift horse in the mouth and all, especially given how shitty my weapons have been all game (Was using the Golden Gladius because it was the best option until I got teleport + control)

Tough choice desu. I opt out of crowd fighting because you never really have to fight surrounded, especially if you have exchange places in the first place. Sprinting lets you escape from quick monsters you can't handle without dying (e.g. wargs). I usually keep enough exp to get either of them, and then when I need one over the other to survive I'll purchase that immediately. Also don't forget leaping, especially if you have ranged weaponry to pelt niggas from afar. Leaping is fucking amazing

i already picked both, exchange positions first because you never really have to fight surrounded, especially if you have exchange places

> I opt out of crowd fighting because you never really have to fight surrounded, especially if you have exchange places

hm, an interesting idea to pick exchange positions through disguise not thought crowd fighting, it saves some xp... albeit not that much

[flanking, dodging] crowd fighting (1500 xp) sprinting (2000 xp) exchange positions (500 xp) = 4000 xp

vs

disguise (500 xp) exchange positions (1000 xp) [flanking, dodging] sprinting (1500) = 3000 xp

but then, being semi-surrounded is pretty common too


by the way, how much melee and evasion do you need to reliably wreck shit on 550'? that lesser balrog unique was nasty, only exchange positions and sprinting saved me... i have 11 melee 10 evasion right now
>>
>i already picked both, exchange positions first

disregard the mis-paste after this part of the line
>>
>>128509785
I mostly play Edain stabbers and pure archers, and on those types of characters getting out of melee or being able to reset the monster's awareness for another stab is really good. But for a flanker build I'm sure crowd fighting is very useful and necessary, likely better than exchange positions since exchange positions only applies to certain edge cases whereas crowd fighting will help your build all the time.

Wearing heavy armor at the expense of EV isn't necessarily the best idea, even for archers. Lower EV means they'll not only hit you more, but they'll also get bigger crits on you, which can help them pierce through your extra armor better. Positioning/environment, stealth, or a bow+decent archery are all better defenses against enemy archers

How fucked am I if I just passed 90 days and I'm still trying to prepare for the Tower of Eternal Flames/Tomb of the High King?

I've scouted out the whole tower, and I can handle all the enemies, even the Fire Giant Kings, although I sometimes end up having to spam cast Heal Critical Wounds during the fight if they're critting me repeatedly.

I imagine the Wyrm is even harder? Though at this point, I'm still trying to figure out how to even reach him.

If you're getting errors because he's not declaring variables then I don't think nCurses will help much with that. Are you fixing his code yourself?
>>
>>128519562
Read the manual.
>>
>>128519562
As many as you like, but you only really need one or two. Each source of resistance reduces pure elemental damage like breath by 1/(n+1), where n is the number of sources of resistance, and prevents mixed elemental damage like damage from an Ururauko from getting an extra damage die. You only need 1 source of resistance to resist mixed damage.

By the way this is all in the manual so read the fucking manual.
>>
>>128519562
Checked the manual and for mixed elemental damage one level of resist provides same protection higher levels of resist, while for elemental breaths damage is multiplied by 1/(1+resist_level)

>>
On a related note: apparently dragon warlocks get a spell at level 35 to force their mount to use its breath attack.

Riding a wyrm and getting a 1600-damage breath every turn seems really good.

Although you'd eventually want one that breathes higher elements, like a wyrm of chaos or law..

how do you scum a level in sil? it seems some people report that they do it, but i don't get how, leaving aside food, you cannot reset a level more than few times and the mob respawning doesn't seem that good... on top of that if you spend a lot of turns you will likely get in a problem when you eventually leave that level

I've never ascended an Edain but I don't see why you'd need Loremaster on any character, other than to avoid the annoying ID minigame. Perception has some great abilities that will hlep your survival that aren't the lore abilities, and getting everything will cost a ton of exp.

When I was playing diablo 2 as a kid a friend who couldn't enjoy the game for shit because he firmly believed he had to give himself infinite gold on every character in A1, because he could technically just kill zombies forever and get it legit anyway.

Man this is getting me mad, nothing I do seems to work. I tried to swap a regular thieves quest drop for monks, pair of gauntlets, to a broad spear, which is a cavalry drop.

Original cavalry drop is coded in

# Broad Spear
?:[AND [EQU $QUEST1 3] [EQU $CLASS Beastmaster Cavalry] ]
F:b:BUILDING_1:3:0:0:0:0:NONE:32
F:!:FLOOR:3:0:543

So I just copy that and write this

# Broad Spear
?:[AND [EQU $QUEST1 3] [EQU $CLASS Monk Force-Trainer Mystic] ]
F:b:BUILDING_1:3:0:0:0:0:NONE:32
F:!:FLOOR:3:0:543

Basically all I did was just change the name from # Gauntlets to # Broad Spear while adjusting the F:b:Building and F:!:FLOOR parameters (which I have absolutely no idea what they could mean other than building and floor what is the hell is that string of numbers) of the monk to the cavalry.

Nothing.

I still get a pair of gauntlets even if I have completely removed that from the t_lite file.

That makes me think that the reward must be somehow hardcoded because if I have removed that line, how could the game know what was the "right" reward for a monk?

I am so confused.

yeah bandit is fine. Eventually you'll want something tankier and/or with ranged options. IMO focus on charisma over intelligence (though you want lots of each) because you need really high charisma to control the good ringbearers.

you fought a group of dudes that was too big, in a position where they got a flank. When you're flanked from opposite sides (or 45 degrees off from a perfect opposition) the enemies are much much more likely to hit you.

You also didn't use your potion of quickness and/or healing orcish liquors, probably didn't throw or shoot as they approached for free damage, and let yourself get to Weak hunger status despite wearing a ring of sustenance.

So playing DCSS and finally managed to have a character survive past the fucking first 8 levels of the dungeon, it was a troll monk.
Reached level 10 in first dungeon then cleared all of lair and went into the swamp my god was Qazial and I pretty much used up all my wands and upheavels on fucking hydras.
I then died to a 8 headed hydra.

Can someone tell me how the fuck do unarmed characters deal with Hydras the moment they run out of wands and god abilities?

Yeah, I was being overly flippant. Swamp isn't usually a good choice to go into first because hydras are only faster than average in water. The lair branches are incredibly annoying for the point in the game that most characters do them, and it's usually best to get all the easy xp you can before doing them.

I'm already a vine stalker so no device heal doesn't matter, but I bet I'll lose some AC if I switch out. Is the regen worth that?

It's either a trivial decision, in which case you are a degenerate who should feel bad about needing help with this, or it isn't trivial, which means that the correct answer depends on all of the other information about your character and the dungeon.

Darren Grey is the guy who runs roguelike radio
He's pretty keen on expanding the definition of roguelike to include games like spelunky

He's a very dishonest debater who likes to doublespeak in my opinion, from reading a lot of his blogposts.


I linked that comment thread because the Totalbiscuit video the post is about was linked and commented on earlier on rlg and because there was some gems like

"You're simply wrong on this. There aren't even that many Unity-based games with procedural generation (it's tricky to do in Unity). You can't be arsed to do proper research because you'd rather cling to a myth to spew frustration over.
The mis-use of the roguelike term is mostly by the media and players. Most developers don't go beyond calling their game "with roguelike elements", which I find innocuous enough." - DG

I just find him absurdly snarky and in possession of a somewhat holier-than-thou attitude.

This blog is an example - http://www.gamesofgrey.com/blog/?p=403

"The problem with the Berlin Interpretation is a problem with definitions in general. Firstly, a definition is only as good as its use in general conversation. The terms “decimate” and “role-playing game” no longer hold their literal meaning, and neither does “roguelike”. Meanings and context change over time, and in the five years since the Interpretation was written there have been many changes in the roguelike scene, with novel 7DRLs and indie roguelikes stretching the genre into new and unforeseen areas. It’s out of date and out of touch with modern roguelikes. All definitions are doomed to end up like this. Those who insist on sticking to the rules are like annoying grammar pedants who spend more time arguing about English than having real social conversations. By analogy those who argue over the Berlin Interpretation aren’t playing enough modern roguelikes."

I suppose we just need to play more spelunky to see the light.

>mfw /rlg/ didn't like the berlin interpretation for being too open ended and pointless so we made our own after much arguing
>mfw fat faggot on the internet gets told by the pasta

2. What makes a game a roguelike?

The definition of roguelike is dependent on a number of factors, as described in the often cited Berlin Interpretation [http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=Berlin_Interpretation].

However, the broad nature of the Berlin Interpretation allows many games not traditionally considered to be roguelikes to be categorized as such, so stricter definitions of what qualifies as a roguelike have been adopted by various communities. Currently, one of the most accepted interpretations on /vg/ is that a game is a roguelike if and only if it has these 4 elements:

Permadeath - Might be optional or have ways to cheat (eg. Wizard mode), but it has to be a core element of the game.
Turn Based - Roguelikes are about thinking, not about quick reflexes.
Grid Based - Everything happens in a grid, where every element of the game use a set space, usually one tile, although some games have multi-tiled monsters or structures.
Randomly generated content - Since (perma)death is so common in roguelikes, every new game has to be different to keep the gameplay from becoming repetitive.
