First Age Angband.
It's pretty good, and has a unique overworld with areas you go to, similar to going down a dungeon, getting progressively harder the farther you go.
Plus some main dungeons with bosses, and I believe Angband being the endgame dungeon.
Happens in Tolkien's First Age.

nah, rune knights slap runes on stuff. I got lucky on those items because you can get from +2 to +10 with protection.
Basically the technique with rune knights is that you slap runes on average body armors and sell them back to the shop for LOADSOFEMONE. You keep doing that until you have GREAT GEAR, then you go and dance the WYRM CONGA with THE MIGHTIEST WYRMS to grab ALL THE ARTEFACTS.

the trick is that you can't regen mana on your own. you need to be hit by a spell to regen mana.

I like High Mage of Demon. You get 75% exp penalty from race (though 135% IIRC from class), some good offense, utility, and summoning, and you get to later on spend most of your time in Demon or Demonlord form to counteract most of your yeekness weakness

>>128801106
You can use a source of perma poly (!polymorph, stone of chaos, the stone mask) or you can play a class that has a poly ability/spell as I recommended just now, or you can just use the nice low exp penalty and wyrm conga to make a less-total-power-but-way-way-faster anything.

>>128803228
I haven't done archery yet but in gernal terms you'll maybe want Song of Trees soon, and a total of 10 points in song (after racial modifiers) because darkness-based monsters should start showing up with enough unnatural darkness to carry shadow into the radius of your lamp.

i dunno if it's a bug or something but i had 2448 xp in the pool, decided to pick 'mind over body', it was marked as being worth 0 xp points (not 500; i had no abilities in the will tree), when i gained it i lost 1400 xp points

what the flying fuck? is sil bugged or something

<- here i literally launched the save from >>128810926 and picked mind over body and lost 1400 xp instead of 500 while the price was marked as 0... wait i already said it

You're getting too much xp in stuff that isn't offense or defense or you're blindly charging into a matchup bad for your build. You mostly get over it with player experience but we can't really say a whole hell of al ot because you're not dumping your high score list or last 10 splat morgues so we can actually see what the fuck happened other than hurr durr I fault y bad.

If you're getting crawler fatigue, play for shorter sessions. It'll mulch you at first until you re-learn how to assess your strength from looking over your character.

Stop trying to have fun. Crawl is a very easy game once you learn to stop having fun. Never explore when you aren't 100% full on health or XP. Never reveal tiles when an enemy is around. Never fight more than one enemy at a time. If you ever run out of MP or get to 50% HP, immediately exit the fight. If an enemy looks the least bit challenging, go back to the stairs and try another set down, without ever becoming adjacent to that enemy.

There is a difference between darkness based monsters and "invisible" monsters.
Invisible monsters you can spot with a perception check, Keen Senses and True Sight give this check a huge bump.

Darkness based monsters create an aura of darkness which your light level directly counter-acts. Darkness from such enemies stack, so don't engage many at once unless your light source is strong enough. A good light source, Inner Light, or Song of the Trees can all help you against such creatures.

EDAIN STEALTH DIVER BUILD
=======================
--------------------
MOTIVATION:
--------------------
PLAYING OPTIMALLY TAKES TOO LONG. KNIFE EARS ARE FAGGOTS. DWARVES ARE MANLETS. FUN.

-----------------------
BUILD ORDER:
-----------------------
HALETH HOUSE

x/4/x/x -there's some flexibility here; since you won't be fighting 0-1 str is fine. go 3 con for tanking exchange places attacks, or 3 grace for finding traps

PUT ALL EXP INTO STEALTH AT THE BEGINNING

GET DISGUISE AND EXCHANGE PLACES (YOU WILL NEED THIS, I GUARANTEE IT)

WORK TOWARDS BOTH:
A (EVASION TREE) - DODGING->SPRINT, LEAP
B (PERCEPTION TREE) - EYE FOR DETAIL, KEEN SENSES->LISTEN
THERE IS SOME FLEXIBILITY HERE; SPRINT AND LEAP HELPS YOU RUN AWAY FROM BAD SITUATIONS (GOOD OBVIOUSLY). KEEN SENSES AND LISTEN HELP YOU AVOID A LOT OF BAD SITUATIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE. ALSO INVISIBLE FAGGOTS WILL DESTROY YOU AT 600FT+ WITHOUT PERCEPTION

AFTER GETTING THESE ABILITIES, YOU'LL WANT VANISH TO SHAKE OFF CUNTS TAILING YOU; EVENTUALLY GET THE STEALTH DEX ABILITY

SCUM 900-950FT (WHILE YOUR MIN DEPTH IS STILL RIDICULOUSLY SMALL) FOR PHAT LOOT AND PHAT EXP. GET ANGRIST AND SLUMBER STAVES, PUMP WILL FOR STAFF USE (AND POTENTIALLY A PIP OF CON IF THERE'S ENOUGH EXP) AND SLEEP MORGOTH. SWIPE THE ORB OF SIL AND GET THE FUCK OUT.

---------------------
PLAY STYLE:
---------------------
DIVE DIVE DIVE
WALK AROUND STEALTHED AT ALL TIMES AND AVOID EVERYTHING
NEVER ATTACK ANYTHING UNLESS IT WAS AN ACCIDENTAL FATFINGER BECAUSE YOU'RE DIVING SO FAST
YOU SEE A DOWN STAIRS/SHAFT OR A CHASM? TAKE IT
FOUND A FALSE FLOOR? WALK ON IT -> FREE EXP
GRAB ANY LOOT YOU CAN SWIPE BUT DON'T BE GREEDY

Once you hit level 35 you get to see items quality on the ground, unless they changed it in 4.0.

>>128848381
I hate Diehard because it feels like gambling with the lives of my invested demons. Something that saves you from death requires you be in a lethal situation in the first place, and generally I avoid those situations at all cost.

Offense Up has potential but I love Cleave and movement tanks too much to use it. Headless himself seems to constantly get dicked over by Light and Electric weakness.

But really, it's not like he's bad. It's just that his status as Unique always makes me overreact to missing out on him.
>>
>>128848836
True, but in Demon it seems like a lot of lethal situations are unavoidable, like running into a double/triple modified raicho pack on open ground. Not that diehard would save you or your party from that particular example, but it's a nice ability to have early on before your party's ability slots get filled up.

>>
>>128854574
What race? How deep do you want to invest in smithing? It depends on what you want really. But honestly smithing has never worked out for me because you're dependent on RNG spawning a forges, which are relatively rare. If it doesn't spawn more forges then all the exp you invested into smithing is wasted. And you still need to spend exp in your killdudes/survival skills too. But I think investing a little bit into smithing can be good: archers can get weapon smith for 300 + 500 exp for a huge batch of arrows early on, and then free flaming arrows if they encounter further forges. Armorsmith doesn't seem worth it without enchanment. Jeweler is cool because you can ID a lot of jewelery and horns by crafting them (which gives exp), and you can craft an infinite torch. But yea going balls deep into smithing doesn't work unless you know what you're doing
>>
>>128854269
Shieldmasters get it but they can't use it at the same time as shield-bashing which is kinda too bad.

You can also get it temporarily from a scroll of vengeance but they're pretty rare.

>>128854731
Considering everything in the endgame is broken, rune knights are just adapting to the situation.

>>128855465
The wiki has poor quality control, yeah. There are also some pages that are just copy-pasted text from the "about" page on the roguelike's website.
>>
>>128855465
Roguebasin hasn't been strictly a roguelike catalog for years, it's basically just "the developer claims rogue as an influence".
Stuff like Triangle Wizard has always been there for example, and it's pretty much a top-down shooter with some roguelike mechanics.

It's cool for the "recently updated" thing on the main page but even that is sometimes saturated with not-roguelikes.

>>128859060
a) make without install
Or:
b) Edit the makefile in lib/help to not look for files which don't exist.

a) is obviously easier.

Next time you should mention which game you are trying to compile though!
>>
>>128859161

Save yourself the hassle and just run the Windows version via Wine,
>>
>>128859060
>>128859161
Oh, also ./configure will only find ncurses 5, so if you have 6 then it will miss it.
To get around this, just edit acinclude.m4 to replace all instances of "ncursesw5" with "ncursesw6". Then ./autogen.sh and ./configure again.

The only other problem you may have is void usleep.

Ctrl+f the first instance of void usleep in src/main-gcu.c and comment that line out (//). Do the same for src/main-x11.c if you are using x11 for multiple windows.

there is no such thing as a wand shop, anon. I once got two clone monsters and a staff of summoning in the black market in zul out of sheer luck without even rerolling on a yeek monk of nature, but that's it.
Unless you mean the red 9 shop, the magic shop, that sells books and staves, but I tried that too in the other towns and they don't sell trash wands.

Some of the classes in OWH+ start with a dash ability that lets you doublemove for a while at the cost of stamina.

The last time I played OWH+ I was at the same place you're at, and it does seem like most classes aren't well setup to handle it, but I got further with dash than without.

Maybe someone better at the game can chime in.

How would you make this fun for the player?

From the dev perspective you would want to avoid allowing the keybind randomization to do things like quitting the game, but once you start going down the path of restricting allowed bindswaps it seems like you would come to something resembling an abstracted *confuse effect. Since confuse effects have been done to death, where's the draw? How do you make this interesting?

munchkin does some other things too besides huge starting cash such as *ID* all items automatically, mapping the level, huge bonuses to melee/shooting/devices/stealth/savingthrow, 150% hitpoints.

Are you playing stealth edain? If you're playing quickly you can get a guy pretty far in a short amount of time.

>>128873161
Lmao, that shit always happens to me.
At the character creation screen for a Haleth Edain I go
0/4/3/1 or 1/4/2/2
3 points into evasion + dodging ability
7 points into stealth + disguise and exchange places ability
1 point into perception + eye for detail ability

This is based on that stealth diver build above. Then I go straight for keen senses because a torch just doesn't cut it for avoiding enemies in darkness. Then I stock up some exp and either pump perception up (to 8 points) to try to get the listen ability immediately, or pump evasion (up to 7, for sprint) if I'm caught and need to tank a lot of hits. I've noticed going perception first helps save me from a lot of web bullshit

He is the Master of the Pits of Angband. His figure is like a black mountain crowned with Lightning. He rages with everlasting anger, his body scarred by Fingolfin's eight mighty wounds. He can never rest from his pain, but seeks forever to dominate all that is light and good in the world. He is the origin of man's fear of darkness and created many foul creatures with his evil powers. Orcs, Dragons, and Trolls are his most foul corruptions, causing much pain and suffering in the world to please him. His disgusting visage, twisted with evil, is crowned with iron, the two remaining Silmarils forever burning him. Grond, the mighty Hammer of the Underworld, cries defiance as he strides towards you to crush you to a pulp! He is normally found on dungeon level 100, and moves incredibly quickly. Killing this evil creature is worth about 2000000.00 points for a 1st level character. He is surrounded by ice. He is magical, casting spells intelligently which produce nether balls, invoke mana storms, cause brain smashing, produce mana bolts, dispel-magic, raise dead, summon monsters, summon Greater Undead, summon Ancient Dragons or summon Unique Monsters; 1 time in 3. He can bore through walls and push past weaker monsters. He is surrounded by darkness. He regenerates quickly. He resists acid, lightning, fire, cold, poison and dark. He cannot be frightened, confused or slept. He is ever vigilant for intruders, which he may notice from 1000 feet. He may carry up to 20 exceptional objects. He can hit to shatter with damage 20d10, hit to shatter with damage 20d10, hit to reduce all stats with damage 10d12, and touch to drain charges. (Hengband 1.6.0)

What demigod powers are good on a dragon warlock? I know I want the amplified healing at 40 to turn their level 42 regeneration song from 50 to 100 hp/turn, but I'm not sure what to take at 20. Evasion?
>>
>>128903682
Because he doesn't resist stunning, at least according to that.
Stunning makes all uniques not resistant to it a fucking cake-walk.
Wand of Water Bolt or Plasma Bolt or Whirlpool will make him free exp.
Also he's supposed to be last-boss-of-the-whole-game tier so him not being godly difficult would be even more awful than him being nigh impossible.
>>
>>128904078
Every enemy in the endgame looks somewhat like that though. It always devolves into "shoot rockets, teleport/genocide, heal, repeat."

>>128904594
I'm just not sure how much lategame dragonlocks rely on eldritch blast vs. running things through with their lance. I've heard that the damage falls off pretty bad later on.
>>
>>128904073
>I know I want the amplified healing at 40 to turn their level 42 regeneration song from 50 to 100 hp/turn.
The healing one is only 20% more, so it should go from 50 / turn to 60 / turn.
>>
>>128904334
It's probably because chris is one of the best
angband players ever and he made the game mostly for himself to enjoy so it's quite logical that the endgame is frustratingly difficult instead of frustratingly easy or even balanced.
>>
>>128904974
It's 20d20 for the non-empowered blast at max level and charisma, which isn't amazing but it does stun. My demon warlock is using it (at 18d20 right now) for most fights, but that's more that I don't have any good devices yet. Demon ones get a lot of melee skill but only 4.5 blows, maybe dragon warlocks are better in that regard.

Okay so I'm reading the Poschengband pasta and I do NOT understand how to read item stats.

The Partial Plate Armor 'Diamond' (+2, +15) (-2) [25, 13] (+4) <+5%>

Translates to "This item gives you- reading from left to right- +2 to hit, +15 to damage, a -2 stealth penalty and 25 AC intrinsic to the base armor, a 13 AC enchantment bonus, +4 strength, -4 intelligence and +5% bonus SP"

I don't get it. How am I supposed to know the -2 is to stealth? Or +4 is to strength? Where the hell is the -4 intelligence coming from?

You have to read the item's description as well:

The pasta was written for version 3.5 where it would say:

>It increases your strength.
>It decreases your intelligence.
>It increases your magical capacity.

(which you for some reason didn't copy over)

But in version 4.0.0 it would have a more clear description. Something like

>+4str, -4 int
>+5% magical capacity
>-2 stealth
>>
>>128908880
>Or +4 is to strength? Where the hell is the -4 intelligence coming from?
The item itself will tell you if examine it with lines like
>It increases your strength.
>It decreases your intelligence.
>It increases your magical capacity.
like it says in the pasta.

>How am I supposed to know the -2 is to stealth?
It's actually only an accuracy penalty I believe (and is meaningless, you can ignore it). If it does affect stealth it doesn't show it on the character sheet, at least.
>>
>>128909367
engrave test your fucking wands
>>
>>128909558
It's not an accuracy penalty, it has (+2, +15) to slaying.
>>
>>128909367
Engrave some shit with your fingers, then engrave with those wands. The results should help you out
>>
>>128909389
Nature casters might be able to do it since they have forest (and wall) creation and healing.

I'm not sure how the babble's ai works with forest creation though, since it doesn't move.
>>
>>128908880
(-2) is probably something outdated in the pasta
Just look at the last number, its the modifier for the stats, both positive and negative
>>
>>128908880
(+x, +y) is the combat bonus x= hit, y= damage
(-2) before the [25, 13] is a stealth bonus, armour almost always has a stealth penalty and this is always a single integer before the AC.
In the entry it says:
"It increases your strength"
"It decreases your intelligence."
"It increases your magical capacity."
The (+4) after the AC is +4 Str and -4 int.
If you were not examining it, it would show up like this:
The Partial Plate Armor 'Diamond' (+2, +15) (-2) [25, 13] (+4) <+5%> {St;-In}
(+x, +y) Combat Bonus
(-z) Stealth penalty (body armour only)
[a, b] AC Bonus
(c) PVal
<x%> This is pretty rare, usually is an increase or decrease to SP, can be life rating or spellpower though.
{St;-In} It increases Strength and decreases Intelligence by the PVal.
>>

Yeah if there's just a single (-X) it's usually to-hit and not stealth. But it obviously can't be that if it's displayed right after a (+a, +b) slaying bonus.

Are there enough PCB players to run a wiki? I feel like there should be one.

Looking at the code, increased "anger" increases monsters' spell frequency up to a max of 75% or twice their normal frequency, whichever is lower. It also somehow restricts their spells to more "worthy" attacks/summons, which I guess means fewer dud spells.

Funnily enough, unless you're a wizard, lategame nethack is the most "tablord" experience you'll ever have. If you play your cards right you're bound to have at least -20 AC and a decently-enchanted weapon or artifact, and only a few enemies require special care by that point. Plus all the loot you should have hoarded gives you tons of options at every encounter
>>
>>128919295
12 is full conduct and I'm never going to attempt that even in 3.4.3. tjr has theorized some methods on nethackwiki but it's too luck-based for me to ever want to attempt.

11-conduct is easy if you use same-race polymorph to reset nutrition, though I personally feel guilty about doing so and also claiming polyselfless.

10-conduct is child's play if you're careful and use a monk.

I've tried some ten conduct monks and always had trouble with magic resistance. The cloak might as well not exist, you can't really fight in gray dragon scales, and if the wizard steals your quest artifact you are in major trouble.

Now, ten conducts in unnethack is very simple.

You get bonus ac for not wearing armor in a slot, but you need to get resists or you'll die and good artifacts often provide more ac than you'd gain with nothing.

Early game you'll probably run around mostly naked though.

There's a total amount of weight you can wear, that you can't (if you want to be at all effective in combat) go over. Effectively this bans the really heavy body armors and makes it hard to fit in multiple heavy other slots (like metal boots and a shield, say).

Well, seeing some symbols on the floor doesn't imply your character is literate.

>>128921315
my morgue says I visited 153 levels of Pandemonium, and I don't think I ever passed up a ziggurat or only half finished it except for the one in depths. If you mean 'fast by turncount' then I don't think 50,000 turns or 153 levels of Pan is super fast to find and complete 8 ziggurats.

If you mean 'fast by real time,' I don't really know how long it took because I left my crawl open and running a lot, and I don't know if it stops counting real time when the window's not selected or if it doesn't get input for a certain amount of time.

However, one thing I did do was immediately take a portal to the next level of Pan when I found it. I'm too lazy to manually explore, but with auto explore, you uncover the most new map per turn and per real-time when most of the map is unexplored, so sticking around to autoexplore the entire map wastes turns and realtime, because the zig is not guaranteed to be on the floor, and unless you think you see some kind of zig vault on the edge of your LOS, there's no point checking over there when you can just step through the portal and uncover like 10 times more map that turn than you would if you took a step

Actually, I've maxed skills on a Deep Dwarf much more quickly than this guy, 16 hours and 116k turns, probably because the Deep dwarf was strong enough to start ziggurats earlier and had better aptitudes so the skills filled up with XP faster
