New demon? Appearently it's sprite also depends on what relic you chose. I feel that the "chill" doesn't spawn enemies as much as it should. In the changelog it says that a encounter not spawning should be rare, yet out of like the 15 times I've used it like 7 haven't spawned any thing. Same thing for corpses where I'll activate like 2 chills per floor and nothing will spawn like 50% of the time. good update overall though. Might make an account on the forums to bitch about stuff.
>>
>>162493238
It has been in the game for quite a while, actually. It took me a while to git gud enough to make it through Anomaly semi-consistently, and I thought they were a new addition a few months ago. It turns out they have been in for quite a while.

What demon do you find the most flexible to use? I have currently ascended with druj nasus more than any other demon. Their huge cunning is nice and allows them to fuck with enemies in all kinds of ways, and only all but one or two physical modifiers aren't useful on them. I also like haietlik, even if I have only ascended with one so far; they're probably one of the best demons to have in Anomaly, certainly with light and/or dark attacks.

I think kasha is pretty awesome. It has amazing resists and a nice tanky/supportive skillset which can easily be expanded in very different ways.

Lifegiver Nero.

>>162496714
>Not giving it one of the magic and resist elements
Lifegiver a shit. You'll find enough skills as you go.
>>
>>162496243
Shisas are great and I like linking with them. I haven't done much with archangels yet, but I can see their potential.

>>162496497
>>162496753
Yeah, man. Demons with lots of resists are nice but it's often noticeable how easily they can get beaten up by melee brutes. Even ehlose, which have lots of resistances and decent strength with good vitality, aren't particularly strong versus demons like oni. Even then, they can be very versatile versus many other enemies.

>>162496714
Neros are good healers in the early game, if not the best healers, but I usually swap them for something else around the tenth floor.
>>
>>162496805
Lifegiver a best you shit. I would rather have a dedicated healer and a blaster instead of a blasty/healer who runs out of SP immediately. Lifegiver Nero + Fotia/Aeithir + memetank like Actaeon or Vikhor is my go to combo up to like tower 9-10. haven't made it past tower 10 though so I don't know whats beyond that.
>>
>>162497196
Gee wow darn shame I can't just get rid of its damage skills after I get that dank resist. Oh wait
>>
>>162497196
better to make a holy nero, dump the light attacks, and copy healing abilities from other demons

You use the modifier for the resistances in this case, not for the abilities.

>>
Lifegiver does fare well, as good vitality on a healer gives it better chances at resisting status effects. I guess when it comes to such a healer with three weaknesses, a resistance-granting modifier may be useful. In the nero's case, the modifiers that cover its weaknesses tend to also favor cunning; it might not get as much mileage out of it, though, unless given veil abilities or a debuff cry.

He can also summon uniques. Relatively fragile, 7.5k hp 100 AC, but really unpleasant and difficult to kill due to teles and passwall. Crossing him out would be ideal for serpent though. Only worse uniques are Morgoth, Unicorn of Order and alike.
>>
>>162497779
The chance of him double-turn manastorming you is so infinitesimally small that you may as well not play the game at all if you're worried about that risk.

How is early dungeon the most dangerous part of Crawl according to some poll here earlier? I 100% always die somewhere in Lair with my gargoyles since komodo dragons and stuff like that. I don't get it, is it a meme?

It is because Komodos have a good chance of breaking through your armor as a gargoyle. Train dodging and use less heavy armor like ring mail. Remember your armor should only be double your dodging.

>>162501096
What is that game?
Is it actually a roguelike?

>>162501102
Gargoyles are pretty well set up for an easy early game, generally the pre-lair dungeon is considered to be hard, because you aren't as likely to have multiple identified emergency consumables. I feel like the devs are doing a good job at balancing out and this is becoming less true. Myself, I always die on my third rune for whatever reason.
>>
>>162501375
Well that's not saying much since only 12 people play it.
>>
>>162501286

I already know that since I have a gorillion of both 3 rune and 15 rune wins already. Mindless oTAB could just get me through early dungeon just fine but definitely not in Lair or anywhere above that for sure.
>>

>>162501524

It is a 3ds eshop title.
It is a Mystery Dungeon rip off that does it lacklusterly, but effectively. For 5ish dollars, I don't regret it.

>Mindless oTAB could just get me through early dungeon just fine but definitely not in Lair or anywhere above that for sure.
The reasoning behind it is you have few guaranteed tools in early dungeon, but you should have some tools by Lair.

Note to self: Do not use Darnya on self. I lost what appears to be 8 stat potions' worth of stats from each attribute. Activating it against an enemy creates a manastorm-like attack. But since it's a garbage ring otherwise, it's mundanity time.

Well the way he implemented ghosts was that you have to be within 1-2 levels of the ghost AND on the near floor that the ghost died on. So if you're over or underleveled I guess you won't get many ghosts. Now that I think about it, this same thing actually happened to me when I went into a branch, got bonus exp, then harvested corpses in the tower AFTER the branch.

Greetings Elona players, from the creator of Melugas Airfield and Propman's CNPC pack comes a breakthrough in custom content and my early holiday gift to you: Ice Keep - the first full-length custom dungeon to have graced Elona!

>http://www.mediafire.com/file/6zd41rsvwchvgg5

>Five forbidding floors including frosty fiends and penguin cuisine, princesses and primordial beasts, and festive cheer and chilling fear, topped with heated action to keep your veins from freezing. Witness the thrill of broken potions as you bathe yourself in the cleansing cool of ice, and don't fall into the water! Are you a bad enough dude to save Christma- er, the Festival of Jure? Find out today! (Recommended levels 14+, though you're generally good to go if you can beat Fire Tower.)

One thing the readme doesn't specify, if you for some reason want to remove the dungeon: pressing backspace while going downstairs will prompt a regeneration of the particular level you're entering, which will overwrite the dungeon file with a randomized floor.

And a space to contain my other works, for those who have missed them before:

>CNPC Pack 1.2 (Req. 1.62 or higher) - http://www.mediafire.com/file/kd6dym5txs445bo
>Blades Inc. (Level 40 Adventure) - http://www.mediafire.com/file/u31fi1a1i0bhmzd
>Melugas Airfield (Level 120 Adventure) - http://www.mediafire.com/file/avghxk81eo9bge9
>Ol-moran (City showcase w/ an optional replacement floor for Lesimas) - https://www.mediafire.com/?i18wzpqaoisce6q

Happy holidays /rlg/!

Test it for overflows by actually depositing that many items there. I remember that ToME choked when raising the limit higher than 255.
>>
>>162538517
Well, considering the museum holds STORE_MAX_STOCK * 50, and the home now STORE_MAX_STOCK * 40, it might not break.
I should probably still test...
>>
>>162538620
...And the game doesn't save more than 240 items in home. Good catch, I'll try to fix that.
>>
>>162538987
Fixed. The saves don't actually break, since it saves the whole inventory, and then reads the size of current shop.
So you would lose items if you downsize, but nothing would happen if you enlarge.

Oh well. Hopefully it works well.

Does anything weird happen if you happen to roll something identical to a fixedart (like the leather jacket of ubbo-sathla or similar)?

>>162543137
Presumably the items are tied to an ID rather than the name itself, so nothing would happen. Unless that's wrong.
>>
>>162543137
It just picks the name and cuts it slightly ( ex. letters after ',' and 'of' and 'the' are omitted. ).
It also checks if the creature is sort of prohibited one. Olympians already have artifacts to their name, so they are forbidden, and so are bunch of other uniques. I also forbid some particular uniques that don't work well with the cutting up ( like Mouth of Sauron, who would just become Mouth ).
>>
>>162544001
Regarding the prohibited uniques: uniques that have an artifact to them. For example, Quaker, Atlas, Multihued Centipede, etc.
>>

You wouldn't? Teleport is for scrubs who need crutches cause they can't pick fights worth shit.

Not sure if that's possible without reviewing/redoing device code in general. The problem is that devices have differing power and recharge rates from each other ( ex. one staff of destruction might have under 200 power, another could have higher ).

This has to be one of the most prepared characters I've ever had, going into Zot, if not the absolute most. I wish I had more MR but everything with MR was gloves and rings and I think the rF is more valuable. No other hats or boots spawned all game.
>>
>>162557127
Not sure how it is now, but in older versions slimes became peaceful as soon as you started worshiping.
>>
>>162555945
Also note that aside all but one are at least six years old, which is like twelve versions ago.

>>162557127
Let jellies eat everything? These characters are almost certainly spriggans so they can run away from everything and not have to fight.
>>
>>162556787
a spriggan of nogod until you get to the bottom of lair and go Jyiva.
Spriggan would work fine with enchanter since you could technically get very few levels and put everything in stealth and hexes to creep away from danger and sleep/confuse trash mobs that do wake up since pre-lair everything has horrible MR.
Plus you can just grab every single item on the floor and male your jellies eat them for free piety and satiation.

I hope that you don't have to actually win a dude to get the in the power ranking.
Is it .18/trunk only?
I think I could pull it off.

You know what I really want for CDDA?
More starting regions or biomes, or someshit.
Like I remember having lot of fun in Dead Island, not because it had good gameplay, but because the tropical island resorts setting looked fun.
Or for example to be in some eastern european shithole, like in STALKER, wouldn't it be fun.
Like they have already planned adding different starting regions in the future, I feel like it would really add the whole new flavor to the game if actually done.
What location would you want your game of CDDA to be, anon?

I need a bit clarification on Innocence in Demon. Do you get the bonus when you have full hp or versus opponents at full hp?

Suicided on tower 8 so theres a ghost around the 9k score area. Theres a real lack of ghosts right now so once you get to the upper tower a lot of chills will pass with nothing happening. It would be nice if ferret added some Wraiths at the upper floors.

He dispels all and often. Nothing is sacred. Buffing is often a waste of turns.
He is a charge drainer who summons charge drainers all around you, so I hope you have demonic grasp if you wish to rely on your staves.
Try it out, see how it works for you.

If you want to have fun do it
>>
>>162576065
You can use the monster recall town service on the serpent to see what he does before fighting him.
>>
>>162576265
You want destruction scrolls (don't destruct the serpent) and food (he can hit to hunger) at least.
>>
>>162576065
Serpent does dispel your shit and casts anti-magic, as well.
It is a also super-fast, +45 speed.

But biggest issue is summons. Generally, what you want to do is fight it on 1v1, and in destructed terrain so you can block LoS easily by phase doors. If he summons uniques, best course of action is probably to fuck off immediately with tele, destruct uniques that follow ( remember that destruction can delete uniques - just don't do it on serpent, since it will just cause it to respawn with full health. Although I guess you could do so in pinch ), and re-prep for serpent.

Get ton of scrolls of destruction. TONS.
Staves get drained / destroyed, so don't rely on them too much. Most of threatening uniques are resistant to teleports ( unique + resistant to teleportation = immune to tele ).

As for its offensive, it has rockets ( 600 damage ), some nasty breaths ( chaos, mana, nether, toxic waste and disintegration ), rather damaging auras... Plus casts Hand of Doom, so you have to be on ball with your speed so you won't get double-turned.
To be honest, chugging potions of speed might be ok, since even if it dispels them, it wasted a turn doing that.

So what I am seeing from your inventory, your biggest issue is that you don't have any ?Destructions with you.
>>
>>162577510
What are the destruction scrolls for? Don't they sort of just shuffle terrain and not get rid of enemies?

Oh yeah, and food is really important, since you don't want to be fainting from hunger during fight ( it drains nutrients )

>>162577964
They fuck up terrain AND attempt to delete all enemies within range. This is different from killing - it affects uniques ( the uniques get pushed out of the floor, unless they are quest-monsters ). They can resist, so keep yourself on guard.

You really want to have a healthy stack of them, since it is one of the most efficient way of ridding of unwanted uniques. Plus, destructed terrain is excellent place to fight in.

See image. That's how much I destructed and teled around on my kill. I even uncorked invulnerability to finish it off.
>>
>>162577903
>what you want to do is fight it on 1v1, and in destructed terrain so you can block LoS easily by phase doors
I know this is an old tactic but is it really good? you don't want him to get too close to you (and with 45 speed (55 hasted!) over 23 he will doublemove a lot) but that sounds the most efficient way for him to do that.
>>
>>162578324
Oh yeah, and just incase it was unclear, Serpent tunnels 3x3 area around it.
>>
>>162578424
If you don't get too lucky, chances are you land outside of the LoS of the serpent. If the situation is urgent, you should probably tele out instead ( ex. summons, don't want to risk it, etc. )

Serpent doesn't have haste, thankfully.
>>

Yeah, in my opinion lategame is all about ranged AoE. Though brutes like what that guy had are pretty scary.

Don't get me wrong if I didn't have a supply of pure gems I probably woulda been fucked because the status effects were stacking up hideously... Nightbringer was probably a mixed blessing for them because it made them stop attacking the sleepers.

Plus I had quick summon/dismiss which was great.

So I dunno. Maybe against a different character memeneedle ghosts would be more terrifying.
>>
>>162610956
Nightingale is probably really good versus such ghosts. It goes well with a demon that gets dismissed while having regeneration on it.

So, playing a Draconian Monk, doing alright for now, but across the dungeon I've been picking up spellbooks. I've chosen some of the more obvious ones for better quality-of-life, like Swiftness, Regeneration, Confusing Touch, but I'm eyeballing Confuse and Mephitic Cloud. Are either of them worth it, for a non-spellcaster going into mid-game? Should I consider getting Repel Missiles, just as a contingency in case Qaz craps out on me for some reason, god forbid?
>>
>>162641347
Meph is unless they nerfed it. It's low cost to get up and even at low power you can zap it 2-3 times to completely bust a pack apart. Confuse is up to you, you should probably play a couple Vp/SpEn or HEAM's so you're familiar with hexes curve and coping with what it can't stop. Remember, the more shit you get that isn't Fighting/UC/dodge the more you have to rely on it and the weaker you'll be when it's not applicable to the fight you're in.

>>162645649
If you have a lot of uniques on your team you can mirror chime yourself to get semi-random depth appropriate demons. If you have an unmodified non-unique base demon you can mirror, fuse into it and recruit the base from your mirror as well. It's neat.
>>
>>162646059
Yeah. I realized that my only unique, Headless, couldn't be a member of its party. My party had seven demons then while my enemy had eight, having the two extra slots being filled by a yuki-onna and a ghoul. It wasn't too hard a battle for me because my own PC's moves took advantage of my party's weaknesses (a bunch of light-weak and fire-weak demons; no fire resistant ones at all) and my mirror character was weak to body attacks; this made it very vulnerable to my druj nasu, and I managed to kill it before most of its party (it would have nightingale and a regeneration-granting ability, anyway, so it would be harder otherwise).

Keep cherry picking the floors using treasures/foes/revelations to tell where there's vaults. Loot what vaults you can with little to no consumable expenditure as you rack up mad loot.

So do I REALLY need to clear all of anomaly + our sanctum? I can clear Anomaly 1 and maybe 2 on a consistent basis, but I'm scared of Anomaly 3 because of enemy summoners and glitches. I know that you can get level relevant abilities off corpses, so would I be able to get glitch abilities in Our Sanctum for maximum dickwraith?
>>
>>162651474
Anomaly is the hardest part of the game, but if you clear most of it, rest of the game will be much easier.
If you skip a large part of it, expect hard mode later on.
>>
>>162651474
There's currently no means of getting "data" abilities.

Anomaly provides plenty of resources and EXP, so it's worth going through; it's a bit harder to go through the next tower floors otherwise, but I think you don't miss out on too much without going through the glitch sanctum and the third floor.

Can you imagine just how powerful the glitch abilities could be if somehow acquired?

>an attack that might only be resisted by an enemy summoner with soul armor randomly having data immunity
>said attack gives random damage and debuffs
>an ability that makes it much harder for status effects to land at above 50% of health; would be very strong on a high vitality character

Alright... just cleared out the Orcish Mines and Lair. My options are thus:

4. Elven Halls, the entrance of which is being squatted on by my previous character, a Draconian Conjurer. Initial forays are showing that Repel Missiles is not impervious to archery or spellcasting, and everything really hurts- I get swarmed, I'm dead.

how 2 get strong light source

I've got a question, are most beatable roguelikes beatable without a guide? Whenever I play any of my newfag shit like Pixel Dungeon, I notice that even despite the fact that I can't beat the damn game, I probably wouldn't have even got anywhere near as far as I have without getting tips and hints about things that I never would've figured out on my own (e.g. door tricks). Is this normal?
>>
>>162663117
Brogue is relatively low on guide dependency. Not spoiler-free, but not half as spoiler-heavy as say, Sil or DDA.
>>
>>162663117
Demon is completely beatable without a guide, although the game is still in development and the tower is currently only 20 floors. You act as if you will never figure out cool tricks, but with enough time you might find something cool that makes its way into a guide.
>>

Find a polearm of the vanyar/sceptre of fire/decent base weapon with a slay/dagmor/narsil/calris/ringil
Shoot with a bow of radiance to light the floor/room
Find/craft an amulet of the blessed realm
Find the mithril shield of valinor
Find/craft a helm/crown of brilliance or the jeweled crown of feanor
Find the boots of irime to light the floor your cross
Find/craft a lantern of brightness, a feanorian lamp or melt mithil down into a feanorian lamp

Zap a staff of light to light the room
Sing the song of trees for +1 light radius per 5 song. You can get more song from grace items and egos like feanorian/of the vanyar, +song artifacts, of power sceptres, of shadows swords
Learn inner light or find the studded leather of beor for inner light which doubles the intensity, not the radius

Could have around 11 light radius while your voice holds out.

You can skip glitch but you definitely need all the loot and most of the exp in the rest of anomaly. If you're scared, learn to immediately run away from encounters using your demons as decoys, and keep some portals nearby that you can dive into in case you run into a second pack converging on you

super fucking rare, practically non-existent if you're diving before clearing the entire floor like you're supposed to
>>
>>162665183
Honestly, you have really good odds of finding brilliance/fire/lamp/lantern of brightness so it's not worth putting the xp in it for just the light. And forge builds are very tight on xp now so you gotta follow a fairly strict forge order and luck in with your semi-rng forge placement to still come out ahead over a normal build. If you're skipping floors/diving you're basically throwing away a forge as the counter's reset and you didn't use it. Play older releases if you want to experience the insane heyday

If you're clearing every floor to know if one spawns, you get them fairly commonly. I get a hearty chuckle when you get the one vault with the forge behind a secret door.

Well, it's not possible in any situation where it would matter.
The first floor of Dragon's Lair is the first place I think you would run into both of those at once, and then you already have 3 copies of your first and second books anyway.

Hexes 10
Stealth 8 or 10
Short blades 10
Spellcasting 10 or 12
Hexes 15
Then whatever you need, i dont even know

If you encounter a red monster, pump the xp into the low level skill, i usually put it into stealth to get that boost or spellcasting for later on or short blades and forget about it
Dont level short blades above level 10 and dont bother with dodging/fighting early on as well

Nothing, really. You can even use the good devices if you make race and personality choices focused on that (except the top tier offensive ones, but you don't need them anyway).

That's where you're wrong.

Starting out with nothing is tightly designed and thus the most tactical and interesting it can be.

The only thing more tactical and interesting than starting with nothing is inventory damage.

None of these things equal each other. You can have a game where you start out with nothing, whose design is all over the place, and has insipid mechanics with not much tactics.
>>
>>162692685
This is a troll post but it's also correct. Starting with nothing is much more tactical than using the best equipment available to you. It forces you to analyze each situation in depth just to survive.

Help me out with the mutation system, is it even possible to come out of it without some crippling flaw?

I see, I tried alpha since that seemed to be the safest option but I got disintegration which is apparently very bad from what I read but I haven't really noticed anything so far. I got the robust genetics trait but I ended up with every possible good and bad mutation from the tree anyway.

Maybe it's the nature of these types of games but I find it really tiresome when they go out of their way to not tell you anything about any of the basic gameplay concepts. I still don't REALLY understand what the stats even do.

Even at the third tier it is barely noticeable.

>Maybe it's the nature of these types of games but I find it really tiresome when they go out of their way to not tell you anything about any of the basic gameplay concepts.
It's less going out of their way, and more the fact that the mutation system has parts that are 3 years old.
Most new things in the game have some sort of information about them revealed to the player.
The older ones were often made by people who think that luck would make a good stat and "mysteriously affects many things" a good descriptions.

In theory, yes, though you would need huge amounts of each if you want more than a few good mutations, especially so if you are making expensive ones like alpha.

>If you pick traits opposite the negative mutations of a mutant tree at character creation does that negate the possibility of getting a negative mutation at all?
No, if you take pretty at start and mutate ugly, you'll lose pretty and gain ugly, but be able to get pretty back if you purify.

Medical may not have slot loss, but it has every annoying mental problem.

That said, it also has like every OP non-stat mutation, so if you can put up with your character randomly annoying you, you might like it.

well you can use self-knowledge spells or self-knowledge helmet activations

the only other way to learn your max stats is to actually hit them

they're relevant because whenever you increase your stat (if it's over 18), you will get 20-35% of the way closer to your max. If your max str is 70 and you're currently at 18/50, it's probably not worth spending a stat increase on it when you could increase dex or con instead.

the easiest way to do what you were asking would probably just be letting the player recall to every dungeon from the get-go. i think mpa-poschengband did that briefly some time before 4.0.0

if i wanted to get fancy i could drop you off in an arena with the dungeon entrance guardians that were added in 5.something
recall to R'lyeh and you end up locked in a box with a warp demon until one of you kills the other

So, I've been playing Elona+ for the past couple of days.

Why is it that my pet is just a complete and utter killing machine, who constantly gets points in skills and shit, while I don't? In short, how the fuck do I stop dying to even basic shit. I'm only level 17 and I can't fight anything my own level without pet assistance, which is pretty sad.

Need to grind more. Spend platinum on your combat skills and use them a lot. Gene engineer cooking onto your pet and always go to sleep at 9 PM. Do hunting quests, where dying doesn't delete your items. Clear low-level dungeons. And most importantly, git gud.

Should I be going at it alone, or should I bring a pet with me?
I only have an Asura and a little girl, both of which are fucking things up ten times faster than I do.
Maybe I shouldn't have gone the monk route and use claws, despite the fact that fists have the highest potential damage output.

Use pets, but also enchant your own gear, and maybe pick up spellcasting? Personally I like to stand in the back and shoot stuff with my bow and offensive spells, but then again I've only played snails so far so I don't really know how to make a melee character work.

Currently in DCSS trunk (or rather, whenever your server of choice will get a next update):
- hill giants removed
- two headed ogres buffed roughly to hill giant levels
- high elves removed
- ogre apts changed: m&f 3 -> -1, all spell schools -3 -> -1

This is probably a buff to ogres actually, but I'll have to wait and play, and I can't say I'll particularly miss high elvels. Now please remove cBlink, centaurs and tomb too.

If you take robust genetics you can usually get a good deal of good mutations then quit at around 4-5 mutate/purify cycles. If you're using a themed serum you're more likely to get something shit if for no other reason than that it's a smaller pool and you got most of it. Every tree has something annoying, just lower your standards and learn to get along.

>>162716540
It's just harder to get going cause your starter dice aren't that good and you can't just enchant your fists for free damage. It makes up for it when you learn to brand your fists with your highest resist and you can swap between nether for life drain, chaos/sound/nerve for status effects, and magic for lowest resisted.

Demonspawn have no problem using exec axes with -1 apts, same goes for Vinestalker.

You seem to forget that giant clubs require only 18 skill for mindelay and still have 2 base damage more than exec axes. -1 apt is still nothing and giant clubs are still a no-brainer weapon choice.

Why pick ogre?
>>
>>162724969
It makes their speedrunning weaker; the breakpoint at which giant clubs are better than other m&f you'll usually have at this point, which are mostly flails, is at around 8 from my experience. It'd go up to around 12 for dire flails probably, but that's it.

>>162725067
Going with such arguments, you could ask "why pick anything other than minotaur, deep elf or spriggan".
>>
>>162725323
Because other races have interesting mechanics exclusive to them, which ogres don't have.

Ogres' fighting aptitudes were generally buffed, and this was when they acquired their unusual property of being very competent at basic spellcasting but very bad at all specific schools of magic. Pre-0.5 ogres were actually even worse than modern ogres at specific schools of magic, with the notable exception of Earth Magic, where they had a 120 aptitude (-1 in the modern system).

Sorry to bring up Elona in all of this, being the babby's first roguelike, but question.

Is it better to two-hand, sword and board or dual/triple/quad wield, depending on the amount of arms you have? Does dual-wielding damage compare well to the two-hand one? I unintentionally upped my dex a lot more than I thought I would compared to my str and now I'm sort of at the point where getting str takes eons.

>>
>>162734554
Literally doesn't matter. they all do great damage and any differences are made up by skill. Invest more so you get more potions of potential, teach your wife cooking, go to bed on time, keep grinding your gardening skill, get kumi's revive plant gem, and work on catching little sisters for more herb statues. Once you're assured you can keep your str potential up just go do a ton of str skill stuff while herbing around.

I eventually managed to get the sword to 3d1 simply by worm killing, but the -8 penalty stayed there. I couldn't kill anything stronger than a worm without dying because I did -5 damage (which R turns into a 50% chance of 1 damage and 50% chance of 0 damage), not to mention the negative AC penalty made even a novice warrior a death sentence unless I was on an upstair staircase.

Runesword start is good on the long run but unless you're a warrior the earlygame is a pain.

You're looking at this the wrong way.

You have to assume that everything is you're own fault. That way, your brain will automatically assume responsibility and try to find ways you could have acted to prevent such a misfortune and then store that information away for next time. Pain is how your brain learns to git gud. This is what separates man from savages who blame rotten meat on evil spirits instead of improper preparation and storage.

Sometimes you are not own fault, but if you concede this, your brain will relax and stop trying to git gud since it can blame it on the RNG. This is why you need to assume everything is own fault for your own good.

Surely you mean dragon scales! Dragon armor has never existed in crawl.

I'm actually doing DAMAGE.

I also have negative AC.
If I ever get to the aggravation part that's gonna be fun.

Fucking why? Why do the DCSS devs hate fun so much? Every fucking time I read about a cool or interesting feature, there's a 50/50 chance it's been removed. Why is this allowed?

It was awful, but it had potential.

The functionality of having a permanent ally was replaced with Hepatitis.

Okay. That's actually a pretty fair point. What was awful about it?

Generally weak allies. Very fragile. Cost quite a bit (~1500 gold) and went hostile if you couldn't afford it, which was more insulting than dangerous.

It was never really worth it.

Allies go full retard because they have no AI and you can't tell them not to, nor can you actually equip them with stuff so they don't die.

Why do you think all allies now are summons or otherwise renewable? Except Beogh, but you can do whatever you want when you're a dev's pet god.

0/10 runesword luck, would not bang
>>
>>162769881
anon is it time for another probabilty lesson
>>
>>162769881
7d1 is objectively superior.
1d7 produces results from { 1...7 }, averaging at 4.
While 7d1 always produces the maximum (7).
>>
>>162769995
>>162770016
you guys are retarded and wrong. In PosCheng you want big weapons to have a larger die size so you can abuse +dice from weaponmastery effects later on. It's not about gaining a pittance of damage now with 7d1, it's about gaining hundreds later with a larger base die size.
>>
>>162770159
>abusing (((+dice)))
>>
>>162770159
>It's not about gaining a pittance of damage now with 7d1
Anon it's not going to stop at 8d1
It's gonna become 8d10
even by that logic your arugment has no sense
>>
>>162770304
but each time it randoms to +number of dice instead of +size of dice you're falling behind and need even more unlikely sequences to end up die-size-heavy instead of die-count-heavy, and laso rune swords are not going to end up at 8d10 basically ever. Most end up at like 6d9 or 9d6 type of range.
>>
>>162764269
seriously white worm masses are level 1

you won't gain enchantment from killing them if monster level is less than tohit+todam+15

also you should buy a sling or something and weaken things from range

Trap creators are faggots

>>162767906
It was bad because they hated a functional merc ui more than 1970's game development. Just play an older version.

>>162768237
Low HD, no real way to gain more, it was hard to get them to equip some gear and even then they suffered from orc warlord syndrome where they get assblasted regardless. projectile management was insufferable.
>>
>>162770513
runeswords only have a 1/666 chance to gain die sizes above 9

if you grind level 81+ stuff long enough you could potentially get it to 9d9 though
>>
>>162771045
Now that I think about it, TSO may give them AC and damage if there's an older version where he buffed your allies on their kills and mercenary in the same version.

>>162771394
So how does the sword gain properties? Or is it forever just a plain weapon with high damage?
>>
>>162771768
It just gets better with time. I think it gets vorpal 3 at one point.
It also gets aggravation and AFC.

>>162771768
>>162771864
aggravation and AFC are just based on the size of its damage die

it has a chance to get random brands (including vorpal) when it kills a unique

>>162772012
that's a git thing not a linux thing
works the same way on win/mac

I thought non artifacts could only go to +9

But yeah that's a really beastly tabtaur.
I would say go slime but you don't have rCorr

You could definitely handle Vaults 1-4 if you haven't done that already. Prepare carefully for 5 though

>freeze, rF+ Str+5 Int+3 Dex-2}
um
>>
>>162779115
Non artifacts can go up to +12 if they spawn naturally, even though they can only be enchanted to +9

It's absurdly rare though
>>
How strong is Ru? I always see it mentioned along top tier gods like Trog,Okawaru,Makhleb and Hepliaklqana but it just seems so unimpressive.

No point splitting exp that early, especially since you're chei which has an even harder early game. If you're in a sticky situation just use scroll of tele.

What would you like to see as improvements to early game so it's more interesting to you?

>>162790336
Crawl is most interesting earlygame desu, and then it's just a tabfest until Vaults:5, which is trivialised if you have source of regen like Makhleb or a vampiric weapon.

>not even top 50% with no castable Haste and lower chance of acquiring the wand

if i'm fighting something really dangerous i'd rather use haste over finesse so i can evoke feet or spam items if needed, if i am out of haste (doesn't usually happen even after the removals, stop wasting it), i'd rather have good escape options or better passives

real reason to take oka is early-game heroism but that pales to things like berserk
