I'm trying FeMo of Jyiva.

Why the fuck it's so hard. By the time I reach lair everything hurts my ass so hard it's not even fun. In my best run I had to worship Ely to be able to deal with hydras and have a shitty heal that's actually not so bad when you have 50 hp.

Then I reached slimes entrance and there was no altar. So I dived into pits, logical solution. I got killed once on pit:6 because my stealth failed just when I was sneaking past TRJ, and died again after converting because and acidic blob was too retarded to see I was worshipping his god and blasted me with acid.

Long story short: Lair:7 is too hard for a Fe at xl10, so I died after 10 steps outside pits. Send help.

They believe that tedium = challenge and that the only reason anyone would not want challenge (tedium) is because they're a casul.

> Keeping the demonic rune in a Hell-Pan roulette means an uneven rune count, though. There's a neglected monster set which can be put to work for this- the Holy monsters, currently mostly regulated to one vault in Pan and a lot of cameo / summon appearances. With constant reductions over the versions and years since the first big push to implement them contained many finnicky mechanics, Holypan has the two reliably functional and oldest angels alongside many straggler monsters not yet cut- this seems wasteful.

I support this part though.

Holy rune of Zot!
>>
>>144609052
Yeah I'd be down for a celestial branch.
I did like the subtle flavour of the Holy realm being just another realm of Pan though.

A)Maybe those people are playing spoilerless or have little experience with similar games
B)Maybe those people are really bad at video games

I got to gehennom twice unspoiled. I quit both times though. Once I dropped the Bell somewhere without knowing I needed it. The other time I did not hhave enough candles to light the candelabrum having used tons before. I didn't know how to teleport level either so going backto minetown would be a chore.

After spoiling myself I won the first time I played a samurai. (Though I did escape in celestial disgrace once before that since I didn't realize that the altar was non-lawful)
It's terribly easy if you know the mechanics.

The arena is easily one of the worst places, but also one of the easiest to cheese with the right combo since you are allowed to heal yourself if it's one of your spells.
You should be using a needle in every fight by the way.
>>
also arena is like
one of the most useless places to be

you literally only get to grab the dosh when you can beat a great wyrm of power 1vs 1 without any staves/rods/wands/potions/scrolls.
By the time you can do that, you usually sell junk found in the dungeon for 30 K a pop more efficiently.

This sounds like it's only true if your melee damage is shitty.

A warrior-type can easily kill most arena enemies in less time than it would take to get a successful needle instakill.

The catch is that you're only healing while killing, and it works best with lots of things to kill.

>>144648342
the vampire tooth's base item is a dagger so if you don't have a way to confuse or paralyse things (use wands or needles!) its damage will be shit

although it's an unrand and it's vampirism is better than average in some way that I don't remember.

That just means the hallway is really wide and the size of the ascii characters doesn't reflect the size of the environment.

If you have done Dungeon and Orchish mines, time to get intothe lair branches.

In order of difficoulty, you should give priority in this order:

Spider>Swamp>Snake>Shoals

Meaning: if you have spiders' nest you should totally do that.

Make sure you have rElec and rPois.

>>144663990
Fuck you already typed that.

Vaults is avaiable only after you grab a rune.

You should probably do sneks, just remember to keep rElec on as soon as you see electrical sneks.

Just don't listen to this guy >>144664101, well you might be able to do elven halls 1, but always check the spells the mages might have and be really really carefull, elven halls is a notorious run ending hole. Keep MR up all times if you go there, since banishments are a thing.
>>
>>144663990
hmm, those are the shittiest branches. Shoals 1-3 might not be bad. Dont do snake without rElec. Shoals 4 is doable if you're careful.

>>144664101
This is a bad choice unless you're stacked with MR. You'll be abyssed.

I've been trying for half an hour to make crawl windowed because for some reason taking screenshots in fullscreen is extremely awkward and it's almost impossible to take a pic of anything but the main screen. I've even tried creating the tiles options (because there was not one in original folder) file myself and linking it to the init file, but it's all vain. I suck at this and I'm completely lost.

Well, Ijyb did have a dagger of draining a potion of berserk rage. So now I'm heavily drained and he tore through two of my three starting nets. Also Yiuf was on that floor too. And then Robin was on the next one. Holy shit the game is just throwing a wall of uniques at me.

You should get something like 9/10 invocations to have a heroism and finesse that last a true battle.

For the rest you are doing ok I guess. Remember to train armour when you get access to some dragon armour. Also remember that heroism boosts your skills by 5, but if you have more than 22 on a skill you won't go past 27 while a hero.

Not sure what you mean. It's a demon realm spell that gives a non-ego weapon the 'of burning' ego.

>>144684654
Most people do Pan first, since most of it is much easier than anything you'll do in hell. Lots of easy exp and loot if you're careful, and its pretty easy to juke the bosses if you know what to do. Don't ever leave the uninque floors and make sure you have a way to blink, teleport, way to dig killholes, and preferably a source of regen or two. If you get a unique floor (it'll tell you), don't leave or else it'll be forever lost. The panlords are pretty easy, barring Lom and Cerebov. You just run passed Cerebov really easily, but Lom is kind of a tossup depending on how he feels. If you have spider bags and bobs with high evo, it should be cake.

Ok seriously. FUCK GHOSTS. Another damn caster on D:8 randomly shows up, this one throws a fucking orb of energy at me and instantly does like 2/3rds of my health, then there's a fuckton of bees as I'm trying to run from the ghost. So I'm quickly poisoned and taking constant multiple hits per turn. Nearest stairs are too far away so I start quaffing and reading scrolls. Found scrolls of fear but they do jack for shit since bees are stupid fast so they leave LoS and instantly back in by the time I move, and the ghost is just fucking immune. If it wasn't for that fucking ghost I could have handled the bees or at least ran to the stairs without as much problem.

VsMo is a combo someone suggested as a great way for newbies to learn the game: good to great damage output, not limited in slots, can easily branch out in magic, not stupidly powerful so you still have to think on how to approach certain situations

VsFi is a much better start due to how VS really accel in situations where combat is drawn out. Unarmed VS with shield is better at fighting stuff than a MiBe, but your low HP and no emergency heals makes you have to pick your battles much more wisely.

I was following the PCB links in the pastebin and I found this in the Spells for Craft
>Enchantment: Attempts to increase +to-hit,+to-dam of a weapon, or to increase +AC of armor.
I know that Minor Enchantment works like the Enchant Weapon/Armor options in-town, and stops working once you've hit a certain level. How much better is this spell? Is it just 2*[level modifier], or [level modifier+10], or is it infinite?
>Brand Weapon: Makes current weapon a random ego weapon.
How many times can this be reused? As in, can it turn a normal sword into a flaming sword into a flaming sword of gondolin into a flaming vampiric sword of gondolin? Does it overwrite the previous brand every time it's used?
>Immunity: Gives an immunity to fire, cold, electricity or acid for a while.
Can you pick which immunity, or it it random? Does it stack?
>Force Branding: Temporarily brands your weapon with force.
What does this even mean? EgoWeapons.wiki doesn't mention it.

What does the Chthonic modifier even do? Why does everyone fuse Python and Artemis?
>>
>>144702201
The spell is not much better than town enchanting iirc.

Once and no.

No and maybe.

Force is an ego which uses your mana to apply extra irresistible damage which stacks partially with other brands.

Playing DCSS as a vampire assassin. Should I train in strength to balance out my skills or is that retarded?

>>
>>144703063
Pro tip. Assassins are melee fighting characters.
Strength and Dexterity.
>>
>>144703063
Assassins are gladiators with blowguns. Get your dex and then either int or strength.
>>
>>144702602
So what's the point of Craft then? Most of their spells (excepting Immunity and the Walk-Through Walls one) are inconsequential because their effects are both possible through (rare) consumables and unnecessary: you can kill the snake without them, and in fact they'd just be dispelled anyways.

The rest of their abilities are inferior to a Weaponsmiths.

>enchantment
minor enchantment enforces a hard limit of 2+level/5, which is the same as what you can get in town

the normal enchantment spell has the effect of reading 1-5 scrolls of enchantment, and can potentially raise shit up to +15, although with either spell the success rate goes down as enchantment goes up

>brand weapon
you can only brand non-ego weapons so it's impossible to use this twice on the same weapon without burning ?mundanity (which is an awful waste)

>immunity
You pick which. Casting it again replaces the old one with the new, although it stacks with immunities from gear, obviously.

>Force branding
it gives your attacks the mana brand, which does unresistable bonus damage on every attack and stacks with other brands but costs some SP for each melee attack
>>
>>144703260
It's mostly a support skill, and not very good in my opinion. Its best spells are Weaponmastery, Mana Branding, Magical Armour, Living Trump, Immunity, and Walk Through Wall. It's got some good utility and castable zerk/haste are always nice, but I don't really find it appealing myself.

Sounds like you're doing it right. Are you using sticks to snakes in addition to your spider form? You should be able to 1v1 undead with your fists. What god are you using?
>>
>>144710613
Level unarmed combat and transmutations to get spider form online. Worry about fighting and dodging later.

And don't be afraid to spam sticks to snakes. It's very powerful.
>>
>>144710613
You can't afford to level fighting and dodging that early. Unarmed damage is directly dependent on unarmed skill so you have to put all of your exp there after training transmutations, especially since you trained transmutations first.

You can cast sticks 2 snegs in a corridor, go spider form and run away fairly easily. If you summon 2-3 snakes and engage an enemy, chances are you'll get some distraction stabs which makes tough enemies much easier to beat. How exactly are you skilling?

You should have dipped out sooner. Really, the second the ghost came into view should have been a fight or flight moment. Not one of those "i'll tussle for a bit and we'll see" moments, but a "burn resources and engage or run away, loot be damned" moments.

>>144711867
You can get away with spider form being at a worse spell %. Train UC first. I get it to like 6, get a few fighting levels and go to 8. UC is MUCH more important because it determines your delay for spider form, and delay is all UC has going for it until you get it higher.

It's not viable for stabbing by itself. Need at least one of ensorcelled hibernation, invisibility, confuse, passwall.
Dith shadow step works sometimes.

With only stealth if you get to stab something it's a nice bonus.

Stealth makes it easier to control which monsters you want to fight. It's not a bad skill, though it's not really worth training for most chars.

In my opinion anon you should level just fighting from XL1 to XL3. Nagas have 120% HP and a good +0 fighting aptitude, so it's easy to build some HP to resist the RNG.

At XL3, level poison magic till it matches transmutations. After that, put it back on fighting until you have 80+ HP. It's expensive as fuck to lower your UC delay in the early game, and I would much rather take +20 HP over -0.1 UC delay in the early game every day of the week.

>>
>>144716710
the poison damage in spider form is apart from UC, and spider form gives you a dex bonus and a separate to-hit bonus. Casting spider form means you don't have to have UC to kill D:1-D:5 enemies. If I had a choice between 3 points in fighting or 3 points in UC by the time I face an orc priest, I'll take the 3 points in fighting, because I already have an overpowered poison attack ( you can spit poison as a naga in spider form and run away at normal speed as well).
>>
>>144717948
definitely need ice form for lair hydras
>>
>>144717948
you can do lair with spider form, but it's really risky. I'd recommend going ice form, just be aware that in ice form your defenses aren't great and your real defense is killing them before they get more than one hit off on you.
>>
>>144716510
>>144717996
Unarmed damage and speed is much more important than the hp you get from fighting.

Training fighting from XL 1 to 3 gives 33 hp instead of 31. Training unarmed gives 4 base damage instead of 3.
It is never better to have more fighting than unarmed.

>>
Demon whips are about the best one handed weapons in the game right fampais
>>
>>144718783
When you're fighting something dangerous in the early game as a transmuter, you're fighting as a spider, which gives base damage 5, and gives you a poison brand, which does the majority of the damage in early encounters, so the XP put into getting UC to the next tier of effectiveness is making an overpowered attack a little more overpowered.

Is there any real use for motorized doors on a vehicle in Cataclysm? Like, you can set up a several tile wide shutter door and attach a motor to open the whole thing at once from a control panel or maybe a remote control, right? That's cool and all, but does it have any actual practical applications? It seems like the type of thing that could be useful, but I just can't think of anything that it could do that would make it more useful than not having one.

Maybe if there was like an internally mountable fixed direction weapon, like a powder cannon that you could get and set up a bunch of them like broadside cannons and go full pirate mode with your deathmobile.

>>144740463
You literally cannot get higher than 25 natural EV with what you've done. Yes, that will be a problem. Shatter would probably be a better first level 9 since it requires so little exp, if you have it anyway.

It was used for turret control before turret control was a thing.

Its ok, anon. I got the point, and while I really do agree somewhat with what you were getting at, it'll ultimately really screw him over if he wanted more than 3. His top EV value is probably more like 23 at 27 dodging, and everything will just shred him like paper in extended, no hellfire or torment needed. I went through with a GrEE with 15 base and 18~ with a ring and thought it was super shit because I maxed out at 28.

>>144742638
The probability of you getting chunked by stuff is much higher, and stuff that you normally right off is suddenly cornholing you. Those demonspawn packs actually hit really hard but normally don't get through EV all that often, iron giants become fucking snipers and so on. Standing next to panlords is literally something you CANNOT do because they'll just tear you apart, especially the uniques. Obviously it'll depend on your shield values and AC as well, but shield can only defend you so well against certain stuff. In group fights, it'll fail really fast and suddenly that demon spawn with the 3xbow is popping you with 30+ damage bolts and you get real spooked. Cerebov and friends will basically hit through your defenses like butter.

what if fenorian lamps are just perfect spherical mirrors that are 100% reflective and never stop giving light

what if the silmarils are just decaying nuclear cores that gives off light and the reason that they're "too hot to touch in the hands of people who are evil" are because they're literally fucking nuclear isotopes that are decaying and they burn your skin to the bone if you touch them

I'm all for fun and hilarity, but radiation is one of those things that gets handwaved for reasons even though its the literal antithesis to life. In high doses, (like those metal as fuck tree reactors), anything and everything around it would just die horribly. Even the robutts because radiation ruins electronics too. My suspension of disbelief will only go so far. Its one of the bigger reasons I don't really like fallout.

If an isotope gave that much radiation, it would also have a short half-life. However, the Silmarils don't show any sign of decaying. The light of Eärendil is still potent enough, after thousands of years, to ward off Shelob.

because a lot of this people have a anime-girl obsession.

You know how in moby dick they talk about how taking a scary thing then making it stark white makes it even more terrifying, like a polar bear, a great white shark, or a white wale, or a arctic landscape? Well I think that a lot of anime authors used that kind of idea but with that 'innocent cute little girl' look, and it stuck in the community, the idea that taking a person with deadly powers and making them a little girl makes them even more terrifying and unknown. However some people buy into it and some don't, and I don't, and I believe that those that bought into it just have a loli fetish, and in short I don't want to see any more fucking anime girls connected to DCSS or in /rlg/. That means elona posters can leave.

>>144757968
What do you use it on? Reforging seems like little benefit for most characters without weird slots.

Past the early game I've never come close to running out of gold. 4.0.2 even increased gold drops.

Not everything.
Just children.

>>144758354
Reforging really powerful artifacts costs a shitload and you're going to want to reforge at elast 2 to see what you get.
Also gambling for *healing*.

>>
>>144758506
All that picture is sexualizing is a drawn girl.
If it were sexualizing the Black Sheep of the Woods it would have to represent that in more than text since it's visual media.
For example if she was hyperbolic and defies description then the eldritch abomination would be sexualized.
Now it's just an excuse for porn like the plot in more traditional porn movies.

Do rods decrease in power over time or something?
I swear to god my scattershot used to have 2 tiles long max damage range but now it's only 1 and I can't fire it diagonally effectively.
>>
>>144759090
You're just superstitious, hombre.

Keep leveling evocations though.
>>
>>144758874
So explicitly setting out to draw an eldritch monstrosity as a sexy girl is not sexualizing the monstrosity, but just sexualizing the resulting girl that is drawn? That seems extraordinarily pedantic at best.

>>144733829
the cap is actually not in the function for the spell but in the enchant() function in spells3.c

so anything that calls enchant() has a max of 15, unless they're a psion in which case they get a weird special case and a max of 23

(why the fuck are psions better at enchanting shit than craft mages or weaponsmiths?)

>>144734482
the weaponmastery stuff is in xtra1.c in a couple of different places
i just searched github for "tim_weaponmastery"
>>
>>144736016
depends on your character and when you find them

probably the one with +1 speed though
>>
>>144736612
each point of xm is +0.25 to mult and each point of xs is +0.25 to shots

so not quite that great
>>
>>144762314
Well, that's my stupidity on the weaponmastery case then. My first hit showed it adding a flag then I went off to search for info on the flag instead of looking further into xtra1 itself. Same with enchantment too I guess.

>>144761963
>I was only pretending :^)
I don't know, you tell me.

>>144762676
Yeah i wish github's search results would say "first occurence of 3" or something when a keyword shows up multiple times.

I could talk more about this, but I'm going to stop talking about it and stop getting in the way of the thread.
>>
>>144758354
things to spend money on:
- reforging high-value artifacts, especially onto good base-type items like dragon armors or mirror shields
- the gamble shop, which can potentially give high-value rods like speed/healing (or potions or wands or....)
- maybe sometime s an artifact will show up in the black market i guess
>>
>>144764735
You can't stand by a non-argument, silly.
>>
>>144763989
Not that anon, but which is best to get first on DDFi? Min delay or defense?
>>
>>144766049
min delay on your war axe. You have damage shaving and a friggin wand of heal wounds for your defense in the early game. After min delay on your war axe it's usually a good idea to pump some defense.

>ar-pharazon drops my third craft book
One of my favorite books for the part of the game where you get it.

This character is finally coming together, except that replacing my +4 con/speed/wis statstick for a real weapon is gong to be painful.

>tfw can't give up Okawaru for meleedudes
The abilities themselves are excellent, but I just can't live without a relatively consistent method of getting the top-tier weapons. Endgame with a fucking battleaxe of freezing is so godawful I just want to ctrl-q the character.

did you try using M&F, the best weapon school

you literally drown in great maces by the end of vaults

axes are for tablords and 3swords are basically oka/trog exclusive
>>
>>144767616
yeah, I have 7 rings and the trident, I wonder if something special happens when I equip all of them
>>
>>144768332
warning: beholders are a challenge race
they are super good at devices but have a lot of other troubles
>>
>>144768471
if you have the trident each equipped ring adds +2 to its enchantment, that's all. All of them together makes a +24 trident, but with 7 it'll still be +22
>>
>>144768540
Yeah, but I lowered their XP penalty by 75 so I'm hoping that might offset a bit.
>>
>>144768656
there's no like special tile or aura or text log or anything?
>>
>>144768423
I normally do run M&F on non-Okas because morningstars/dwhips/GMs are so common.
But I've been running a DD who are pretty much made for axes.
