In case you don't know what this is about, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is having another one of it's online tournaments. The way it works is you play on one of their online servers, either solo or as a team and at the end of the tourney we get to see cool leaderboards based on how well you and us did.
Bay12 Crawl thread is here. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=28410.0)
Official Crawl site is here. (http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/)
The old 0.13 tournament thread is here. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=131872.0)
There can only be six players in a team, so there's usually been a few Bay12 teams named in a dwarven fashion.
So if you're interested post here and tell us how experienced you are. We try to group people to roughly match their skill level, but it's not too specific. Last time we used this specific criteria:
Expert: Win or multiple runes.
Advanced: A rune or close to one.
Intermediate: Reached the Lair
Beginner: Wants to join the Tournament
Note that I haven't been playing much since the last tourney so do tell me guys if Lair is no longer the staple go-to place it once was.
Here's a guide to playing online:

My only win is from 0.12 and I haven't played much since the 0.13 tourney, in which I may have underperformed somewhat, so I'd probably be best placed in Advanced or Intermediate tier. I can once again be a team captain.
What about teamnames? Do we go with the 0.13 ones or make up some new ones. Suggestions will be appreciated.
Post by: Graven on March 28, 2014, 08:18:43 pm
About the teamnames... I don't mind either way [mostly because I am bad at names and can't make a clever and/or funny one to save my life ._.]

but I think there should be a team above the "Expert" one : I won a game or two, but only with really easy combat (Gr^TSO, DDBe), and only had the 5 easiest runes on my most successful character. So I could enter the "Expert" team, but when I see Graven or Covenant in the DCSS thread, I feel like I'm the noob :p

Because that's what the Crawl tourneys are about - having a ton of fun playing, sharing strategies, discussing things, hating on the RNG, getting banners and cursing every further step you take into extended.
If you're completely new, never forget - MiBe GrGl http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/bots for every single new thing you happen upon.
Also people who have not played any 0.14 version - you might want to take a trip through Trunk if you're not familiar with the new dungeon arrangement - 15 floors Dungeon, 5 floor Depths, ... not sure, since I also haven't played the latest version - tiles trunk is sort of old.
I'm wondering about the characters I should play. Do I go for a Gargoyle Gladiator first, before the game starts taking points off for them? Zin won't be a very popular god, since you have to start with him for it to count, and I'll definitely be going Zin on a Gargoyle. On the other hand Gargoyles I give 2 days at most before there are 50+ wins, so that needs to get over with soon. I want to get a Tengu Warper/Death Knight win - it's no more difficult than any other Tengu start, so I might as well go for an obscure class. HOAKs are also great... hmm. I probably won't have the most time either - I expect a bit more than last tourney since I'll play on the European server.
Oh yeah almost forgot - name's actually Gravenous on the Crawl servers.
Post by: Delta Foxtrot on March 29, 2014, 04:19:46 pm
And good point about everyone needing to post their names on the crawl servers. I guess you guy don't need to respam this thread if your forum nick and crawl nick are the same. Otherwise, let me know what your crawl nick is so I can add that into the OP.
Speaking of which I need to go and check if I still remember my nick/password on CLAN.

I've only won 3 times (one 3 Rune and two 15 rune) on killdudes characters (one with a twist), I've yet to get good with other classes.

Also, Nemelex is getting patched in 0.14, right ?
The whole thing about deck chances being fixed and not giving the player a deck of wonders as his first in it this version, I think.
You have a fixed 10% chance of getting a deck of wonders now. You're more likely to get decks of destruction or summoning. They removed decks of dungeons for some reason.

Apparently I'm an expert (yeah right).
I'll leave the metagaming strategies too you guys, since the scoring system is 2deep4me.
Not sure if the server we plan to play on matters, but I'll be using http://crawl.lantea.net:8080 since it's the European one and therefore the least laggy.

Given how annoying it was scumming a Zot trap until I got banished [...]Elven Halls hand out free banish to every visitor.
Post by: monk12 on April 03, 2014, 07:28:23 pm
Anyone have any guesses what the 'banner award' thing you get extra points for is gonna be this tournament?
To clarify; last tournament, I got an extra (25/50?) points for doing the Vow of Courage III banner award, which was getting 4 runes before moving past D:13. So, you had to get the runes from Snake/Spider, Slime, Swamp/Shoals, and the Abyss.
Given how annoying it was scumming a Zot trap until I got banished, I'm hoping that this time they pick something a little more relaxed. Say, Harvest.
Congratulations, Vow of Courage III is now six runes before the Depths! So Snake/Spider, Slime, Swamp/Shoals, the Abyss, Vaults, and... frig what other runes are even before the Vaults? Oh Tomb, that's it. But yeah the cutoff is now Depths.
There's also a new banner based around abandoning gods and surviving their wrath, so that's neat.
Post by: Mindmaker on April 03, 2014, 07:31:55 pm
I mean a character than can handle vaults, should be able to handle Abyss:3 (that the minimum amount of depts for rune spawns, right?).
As long as you have rMut that is.
I mean I've seen people do Tomb as their 4th rune.
Absolutely insane.
Post by: tompliss on April 04, 2014, 02:27:32 am
- LORD OF DARKNESS III : "Win a game without having entered the Temple, the Orcish Mines, the Lair, or the Vaults (+50 tournament points)". We need 3 runes without the Lair's nor the Vault's ones. So the neded ones will come from Abyss to go in Depths, then Tomb and/or Tomb to get to 3 runes. I think an Abyssal knight may be good for this one, as he may have less difficulties in Abyss than other characters, and have both an emergency-button and an escape door when in Pan.
- HERETIC III: "Abandon nine non-good gods before reaching XL 14, and win without rejoining them (+25 tournament points)". That will be a challenge, as you'll need to abandon a first god early, as the wrath time is now indexed on XP gained, iirc. Also, keeping a "easy" god to worship (like Trog) to stay alive should be a good idea.
- SPEED DEMONS II & III: Reach the last level (or find a rune for 3) of a Lair's branch in 27 minutes. I think a stealthy character of Dith may be a good character to do this one (skipping most enemies), but that'll be a nice challenge, too :D
and yeah, Vow of courage will be harder, now :/
Post by: vogonpoet on April 05, 2014, 03:00:49 pm
I didn't even look at the tournament score things before it was all over last time. Didn't effect my play at all. Might give them a go this time, could be fun.
Hmm, well the banner things definitely add fun to the whole proceedings - they really helped me get better a crawl too, as some of them encourage quite different play styles... most obviously the gelatinous ones. Back when I was definitely a noob, in my first tourney, trying to get I think 7 (9?) different R/C combos to level 9 was a real challenge - so much so that I had to plan out which species to pair with harder professions. Hah, those were the days.
Now I have 3 tourney wins under my belt (still no more than 4 runes tho), it all feels less innocent, and I agonise much more over whether to play around with the banners or try to bank a win.
Crawl - pleasure spiked with pain

We should have a skill level above expert I'd really like to go for a 2-win streak this tournament.
That will be necessary once we have enough people to fill out two expert teams of 6. Somehow I doubt that will happen.
@Mindmaker:
The tournament will be ongoing until the 27th, so you can still be in if you get some play time on the week after 20th.

So the OP should now have the three teams with designated captains. Those who know what to do, do it.
Everyone else, read the first link in the OP. You need to add a little text to your rcfiles depending on who's your team captain (accessed via the server interface, from what I remember).
If your crawl server username doesn't match the one in the OP, let me know. Team captains need to know your crawl nick so they can add you correctly to their team.

I have died in the Depths twice I think (and haven't beaten Trunk since the runelock stuff was added, but then, I haven't played for a fair old while).
Post by: tompliss on April 09, 2014, 04:35:39 am
The runelock is on the Vautls, not the depths, right ?
I think they changed it that way because the Depths entrance was hard enough that you would be able to get a rune, and because needing a "key" to enter the Vaults aws a nice touch.
Post by: vogonpoet on April 09, 2014, 05:01:13 am
When the Depths were first introduced, the runelock was on D15, and Vaults were below the lock.

edit1:
@thegoatgod_pan:
Right now we have three teams of six, which is as high as a team can go. During the last tournament we had a fourth team with less than six guys, we can do that again. For now you'll be in it alone but we had latecomers in the last tourney too so.
I'll update the OP for your teamname in a sec.
edit2:
I edited my rcfile with the names from the OP. If your crawl nick is different let me know.
Note that the servers only check for updates about once every four hours, so don't panic if your team doesn't update right away.

I just logged on to CSZO so I could join the team in advance, thus reassuring my captain and team mates of my intended participation. I seem to recall CDO was the last server to get .13 as well, just a day or so before the tourney began, presumably you know, for reasons.
I can be patient for .14 now, cos my name is up there in lights, (http://dobrazupa.org/tournament/0.14/clans/deltacharlie.html) with the rest of my Blacksmith brethen.
Code: [Select]
Clan: Bay12 Blacksmiths - deltacharlie (captain), karlito, un67, vogonpoetNot that I will have time to kill off my current trunk character before the tourney begins, but never mind, at least it served to get me back into Crawl - I gave Dith a try out with a SpEn, and he seems like a pretty cool god - being able to ensorcelly hibernate really dangerous folks from maximum distance and then shadow step stab them is awesome. I always hate sending big melee brutes or crystal spearers to sleep, or tiptoeing towards an already sleeping Mennas, only to have them wake up just as you get near.
Post by: Aelig on April 11, 2014, 04:22:56 am
As the tournament is starting pretty soon and people will get absorbed by the game once it's on, I may ask : What are you guys planning to play? What are you going for?
Personally I really want to play an octopode for some reason, even though I've never played one before.
I also need to learn what to do in the endgame. In the last tournament I lost one guy during the ascension run because I simply did not know about it and was not prepared (I had a ring or regen in my stack and plenty of food, ended up almost starving and killed on D5 by a weak demon, I guess DeltaFoxtrot was watching and must have had a good laugh ^^). And a second in zot because I swapped god to try tomb and had to run for my life in the first level of crypt.
Post by: vogonpoet on April 11, 2014, 04:57:22 am
In general at tourneys, I alternate playing throw-away characters for banner collection, serious dudes I have won before to actually try and win, and serious dudes I can't believe I haven't won yet.
I am not good at Crawl, so actually trying to win means playing MiGl of Okie, DEFE of Veh and SpEn of Ash/Dith/Mak.
I will be looking at my scoreboard (http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/players/vogonpoet.html) (which is taking ages to open right now, the server must be struggling) for the third category - looking at the most shameful glaring holes in my pitiful Crawl CV: my best beserker died at level 23 with I can't remember, maybe 2 runes, I have never won an ice elementalist (I have killed one in extended though), never got a Centaur past level 10, or a DDwarf past 16 (holy crap, look at that, my best EarthE didn't get past level 18, seriously, that's awful).
So there you go, my desire to play always goes up a lot during the tourneys, and I will use that desire to attempt to bank a win for the team, to improve my pitiful DDEE record, to play lots of Octopodes of Ash (ha, I seem to have killed an L27 octopus at somepoint, yay me), and to dive random stuff to the D14 or lair, hoping for speed demon, etc.
Edit: haha, I will be doing my best to avoid extended, 3 runes only for me, I have lost the following at L27: DSFE, DSIE, HECj, OpWz. Horrible.
Edit Edit: Octopode of Ash pro tip: Wizards start off wearing a hat.
Post by: Aelig on April 11, 2014, 05:15:06 am
At some point I'll also need to learn to play stealthy types, I tried a lot of SpEn and just end up doing random things after Lair and Orc. Maybe I'll play a guy with Yred too, for some reason he's not popular but I think he's the most newbie friendly god there is and will carry you to Zot 1 in a breeze (then all your entourage will die to draconians and you might be under leveled due to your minions stealing too many kills if you are not paying attention). Beogh is in the same vein yet boring as hell.
Regarding tournament rules and bonus score from specie/background : does it matter to win the popular combo first or will your bonus be the same as those who ascended after you by the end of the tournament?
Post by: tompliss on April 11, 2014, 05:31:54 am
I definitely want to play on CDO - I am a European, I live in Europe, I always play on CDO. Its my favourite server thingy ever :-*CLAN is located in Falkenstein/Chemnitz, Germany, Europe.
I play on it from France, and have no lag. URL : http://crawl.lantea.net:8080/#lobby
Post by: Delta Foxtrot on April 11, 2014, 05:50:31 am
err, yeah. Clan is nice. Very little lag the last time I played (jinxed it).
edit:
I'll probably do my usual with failing at caster types (DsIE) and doing slightly better with various less than stellar melees (HOAK).

Delta hasn't updated the lists yet. I'm going to make a team-captain-level executive decision and let ggurman take lastplaneout's spot - at least this way the team experience levels remain roughly how they should.

Am in the lair with my second char, CLAN is even slower than anything I've ever imagined. Wasn't it supposed to be the European server? Guess I'm cursed with latency.
GrGl of Zin, His Divine Awesomeness placed me under penance for some reason [must've butchered a sentient corpse] and piety gain is even slower than the server, but I'm feeling pretty good.
Also there's already been 2 3-rune wins, which is inspiring. Expect Zin to remain winless for a long time, hopefully Yred does the same, plan on doing a TeDK at some point.
Post by: Delta Foxtrot on April 11, 2014, 06:05:53 pm
Isn't Yred one of the easier wins to get?
Post by: Xgamer4 on April 11, 2014, 06:46:28 pm
+2, +0 Dagger of Speed
+2, +2 Dagger (starting weapon)
+2, +1 Dagger of Holy Wrath
+1, +0 Dagger of Venom
Then I pulled a +0, +0 Short Sword of Freezing off a random Orc, and a Short Sword of Distortion off of Terence.
Then I've also found a Leather Armor of Poison Resistance, and the Sewers gave me a +2 Leather Armor of Fire Resistance. (And a sack of spiders).
Let's not do something stupid.
Post by: Un67 on April 11, 2014, 06:49:11 pm
The upshot? I found a +8, +9 artifact quarterstaff, and a -1, -1 lajatang next to the Slime entrance. I then proceeded to find a brand weapon scroll, and then used up my other enchant weapon scrolls to bring it up to a +0, +2 lajatang of slicing, which I think will be a perfectly acceptable secondary weapon in the future. After all of that, Orc should feel like a piece of cake. Hopefully I'll find some rPois soon, and maybe a longbow and some arrows.

It's 4 a.m. and I'm going to sleep. Xlvl 15 and 95% GrGl, cleared Lair and Orc, got a decent randart Great Mace [only has +/*Rage, so I need some clarity first], decent armour and invocations skill, about to hit the Shoals.
Nearly bit it against an Enormous Slime creature, kept hitting me while I was trying to get it to split, finally decided that I'm really not in the mood for it and read a scroll of fear.
I have to say I always feel half awestricken and half terrified when running Zin in the Orcish mines. Dude does not mess around when delivering his vengeance unto the heathens, let me tell you that.

Started with an axe? Here, have a +1/+1 mace of Crushing! Still not sure? Have a Large Shield, +2/+1 Flail of Holy Wrath and ten steel sling bullets to boot!
Feel good? Invested some points into that combo? Hey look an orc with a +2/+2 Battleaxe of Freezing! Trolololol
It's a good thing they crosstrain, but if I find a good morning/eveningstar that makes me want to switch back again...

Also Hey Covenant, you in with the Champions? I don't see you on the clan page.
Post by: Graven on April 12, 2014, 04:35:47 am
Maybe I'll keep the protection one. I only have 45 AC or something, after all :D
CLAN is a bit better today, I guess the great influx of players at day 1 surprised the poor thing.
But now it is time for Witches Abroad and Sir Terry Pratchett.
edit : Eurgh. Just slapped an Ench W III on the Great Mace, and Donald drops a branded Eveningstar.
I've won with both, but I tend to prefer 1h + shield, since actually there's a lot of stuff in extended that can be blocked - Bolt spells from Fiends, Crystal Spears, Iron Bolts etc. It's a 2 base damage difference - 17 for GM, 15 for Eveningstar. Really torn here. There are a lot of randart bucklers and the like, and I could feasibly go for even a Large Shield, I also have a +4 ring of slaying...
God I hate choices.
Post by: tompliss on April 12, 2014, 05:40:46 am
But, as usual, it realyl depends on what is lying around, especialyl in term of shield of resistance and randarts :D
But yeah, if the eveningstar is good, there is nothing preventing you from going buckler + 1-handed

Btw I can't believe someone won with Zin already :[ Last tourney I was the second person to win a Zinnite like 4 days before the end of the tourney. What kind of a fiend wins a Zinnite in the first two days !?!

Gargoyles are usually "easy" enough to be able to win without much help from their god, so they're one of the best for a early Zin run, as you appear to have thought, too.

My own run is going along predictably well, Evocations saved me from a few certain deaths, random chance saved me from another one [I was quite low in HP, no escapes apart from Zin's sanctuary, Pan lord turned out to have distortion branded melee which teleported me in the other end of the level]
Extended is so god damn boring, though. My god. This is why I like to get a 15-rune gargoyle out of the way at the start, so I don't have to put up with this bullshit with less powerful combos.
I also haven't found the vanilla Pan rune, but there is a limit to the amount of time I can spend there. Now to go visit Tomb, and finally the hells. Because the hells are the worst thing ever. Tomb at least has a static layout and a finite amount of enemies.

Think the plan for the rest of the game is Snake:5 -> Depths -> Blades/Elf/Crypt? (not sure about how these are) -> Vault:5 -> Zot. It's been a long time since I've gotten this far, though, and any advice is welcome.
Post by: Graven on April 12, 2014, 03:55:39 pm
Depths - rather bonkers. Packs of Trolls which when mighted by the Shamans can absolutely devastate you. Tengu that hit pretty hard in melee in addition to peppering you with spells. Hell Knight bands with decent equipment. Dire Elephants. Basically tightly packed endgame monsters, 5 floors of them.
Crypt's been somewhat reworked - you definitely need Negative resist in there - Revenants throw Spectral fire which hurts, spawns various spectral stuff, things can slow and reduce your MR on hit. Don't underestimate - not the push-over it once was.
Be careful if trying to stairdance Vaults:5 - you can and will get stair-locked while trying to go up, and it will not be pretty. Be sure to have some sort of immediate escape.
Stay out of blade unless you hate your skills with a burning passion or have 3 pips of rN.
Zot's pretty much Zot.
Also I found the morgues. A bog-standard Gurgle win, notable for nearly dying in front of an audience on the orb run, since a Pan lord spawned with really high-power Glaciate, which caught me by surprise and left me with 20 hp to spare from full, in two turns. Good thing I had Sanctuary.

How about Elf:1-2 for getting some more experience? Not sure if I want to tackle the Elf:3 vault, but I have conservation, and banishment doesn't phase me.
Post by: Graven on April 12, 2014, 04:14:20 pm
For what it's worth I take on Elf:3 on every single character I have. On a melee, dig a /\ - shaped corridor using Disintegration so that only one tile is visible, lure nerds there, beat them up and take their lunch money 1v1. You can get hit pretty hard by the Annihilators, Master Archers are as hard as they ever were, but if you've dealt with V:4, you can deal with Elf. Still, try to have at least a pip in rF+, rC+ and rElec.
Your plan of going Snake:5 to Depths is not bad, you just have to be prepared that Depths are a lot harder than the previous D:15-27 was.
My current win went Lair -> Orc -> Dungeon -> Shoals -> Pit -> Vaults:4 -> Elf -> Depths -> Vaults:5 -> Abyss -> Slime -> Crypt -> Vestibule of Hell -> Zot:4 -> oh god the pain please make it stop -> it's not stopping arrrrgh my eyes arrgh

It's also possible that you made an error when placing the text into your rcfile (it's the topmost text in there, no typoes in the name etc?). It's also possible that Dr feelgood typoed your name or the name in the OP is wrong in the first place. We can probably rule out human error unless you're still missing after 4-6 hours.

You already have more points that I may have by the end of the tournament ^^
I played a bunch of guys carelessly yesterday and to no good. I have a more serious contender right now but I'm having the hardest game, orc 4 was full of super hard vaults, Lair had a ridiculous amount of hydras and about 10 death yaks on the bottom, with catoplebas and stuff. On the plus side, I got a mutation on my ds that makes blood turn into fire : FIRE FOR THE BLOOD GOD. Dem nagas on snake just love it (it's 70% of my dps once I get a hit). Btw I'm a DsFi of Ash, so I'm suposed to have an easier late game I guess... Plus I got awesome muts (claw 3, intrinsic rf+, demon summon and other nice stuff).
Also we never killed grinder on champions, just saying.

Or maybe there's a way to reset it yourself and I've been really dumb this week. If you do ask them to reset it, it might take a while. I had to wait a couple of days but it was before the tournament started. Not sure if they'll get it done faster or slower now that everyone's crawling around.

Cleared Lair and Orc [sort of] on my TeDK, got Swamp and Snake as branches. That's really nice, since Swamp is the easiest right now, and Snake is tolerable.
Can't really do either, however - Swamp has scary swamp things in it, and Snake has scary snake things. I couldn't take a look around the Orc:4 shops much, since there're scary orc things there. Yred keeps throwing Flaming corpses at me which is a sweet gesture, but doesn't really help against 2 orc warlords and a high priest.
I guess I'll go clear the rest of the dungeon, and then head over to Swamp to try and get a Swamp dragon armour. A Demon trident would also be welcome, but I suspect that's a while ahead.

Basically, it's the one complete bullshit left in Crawl. The current implementation of petrification is what paralysis should be like - give you a couple of turns to counter-act it if you have the consumables.
Well, it and torment.
But torment is more of a personal hate.
My own run is going along decently - I'm clearing stuff myself, letting my bros chill in Snake:5, calling them whenever I feel slightly threatened. I got the lair branch runes, guess I'm going for Vaults next. This is definitely going to be a 5-rune win if a win at all, I can't be arsed to trudge through extended again.

Paralysis completely removes your evasion, and I want to say it removes your Shields too, but I'm not sure about that one.

And Tegga, stasis does indeed make you immune to all forms of paralysis. Unfortunately it also makes you immune to [nearly] all forms of escape, so it's not always an option.

Other than that Troves use the acquirment code, so it's like getting ...15 acquirements for the price of 2. You can get a pretty bad trove, and the general item type might be borderline useless to you, but I'd probably go for the trove every single time.

So, my DsBe has cleared the Dungeon, cleared the Lair, and cleared the Orc mines. The Lair branches are Snake and Shoals, and I'm not sure which one to tackle first. I don't think I want to go messing in the Snake Pits without rPois, but I'm wary of taking my virtually EVless axe-wielding maniac into the Shoals. He does have evocable flight which will help, but I dunno. Any advice would be appreciated. Maybe I can find a rPois leather armour forgotten up on D:7 or something...
You are right, don't do snake without rpois, there is just no way. But if you can get it and your ds is AC oriented it's really easy. Shoals is not as bad as one may think monster wise, and if you have fly you may be ok. Read about mesmerize from mermaid and fear uniques more than anywhere else and you should be fine. (I once ran into Mennas with a Ds or Yred right in front of shoals rune vault, but that's the worst case scenario).

My XL7 OgWz just found an altar of Nemelex. I was thinking about going with Vehumet and doing a conjurer type char as an ogre. But I've never tried Nemelex and I'm wondering if I should try him out.
How well does Nemelex roll with caster types?
IMO, not super well. Don't get me wrong, he can pull his weight with the decks of defense giving you escape options and decks of summoning taking the attention off of you, but you'll probably find that the decks of destruction are pretty redundant with the conjurations you already have, and in my experience caster types have enough experience sinkholes to fill without adding Evocations on top of it.
That said, I'm hardly an expert, and I've never played an Ogre Wizard (well, never played one long enough to reach Temple, anyway.) I also haven't played with him now that he works a little differently in regards to what he gifts you (it used to be I would get loaded with Destruction and Summoning decks since corpses and weapons are by far the most prevalent item in the dungeon, but now I think it's just random so you should get more variety.) He's certainly a fun god, and if the flexibility sounds good then go for it.
N.B I would have posted this last night, but the forum derped on me- fortunately I have Lazarus, assuming the advice is even relevant anymore :P

EDIT : I checked my morgue file to see if I was exagerating before when talking about a hard Lair and Swamp on my last succesfull char, and it appears I killed 27 hydras in that game, and they were some more in Swamp 5 when I left. I find this a bit extreme.

Nemelex is a bit redundant for casters. He's still okay, because you don't have to spend mana to use decks. And high-powered card effects are better than spells. He got nerfed recently. Deck gifts are fixed now: destruction (40%), wonders (10%), etc. Dungeons got removed.
Edit: I'd choose Sif for a summoner and Vehumet for a conjurer. I'd pick Nemelex for fighters, hybrids and stabbers. I did an OgWz run a long time ago, but it was practically a summoner.

So far, the only equipment even vaguely worth note is a +5/+4 Dagger of Venom, and a +6/+5 Cutlass of Protection (equipt). As-is, I had to purchase and enchant Swamp Dragon Armor for my Poison Res before tackling the Spiders Nest, and everything else bog-standard might-as-well-have-found-it-on-D1 equipment...
I'm generally able to handle most things, but that's largely because, between my natural regen, stabbing, and Dith's aura, stuff doesn't really hit me.

What do you guys do when the game steadfastly refuses to drop decent equipment? I've cleared through floor 14 of the Dungeon (and dipped into 15), I've cleared Orc, and I've cleared Lair. (Vine Stalker Assassin)

You seem to be in a pretty normal situation given your advancement, nothing alarming here. Just in case, look for branded weapon (stuff like fire or elec) by ctrl+f your weapon type, same for armor. If your other Lair branch is the shoals it should be doable (maybe get flying first) and Swamp is easy if you have see invis for vapour.

I have a question, I have this guy with 2 runes and cleared vault 4, elf and crypt. I want to go extended but I'm not sure I can do it as I never done it before.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Basically a fighter with a good weapon, somewhat decent armor and can cast haste but there is no source of rmut in the dungeon for me right now.

What brand should I try put on this eveningstar I just found, flaming or freezing?
I would go for cold unless going for extended. Cold would help you against the draconians in zot by freezing them and fire wont work against orbs of fire while fire may help you against stuff like Tomb, but you may find an artifact before you attempt tomb. Stuff in the depths is not resistant to either I guess, so it's really about zot, and cold will work better in this place.
A lack of rMut is annoying, but it's still possible to do extended without it. But in my experience it's a lot harder (and more frustrating) doing extended with melee guys as opposed to casters or archers. I'd recommend trying out Dis, and if you have no trouble, consider doing the rest.
To be fair I haven't done Vaults 5 nor Slime yet (Slime mostly because no rmut) and I'm still hoping to find an amulet here. I have intrinsic rCorr so Slime should be doable even if I get mutated a bit. I also have a grand grimoire so I will learn abjuration aura too, that might help a lot. And I just found this and can get min delay in no time moving my skill points with Ash :

The wiki says this:
Quote
Boris will not reappear on another level until he is killed. Thus, if you want to avoid encountering him again and again, just leave him where he is and he won't bother you again until you return to his floor. He will also be forever defeated if you kill him after exploring every area he can possibly generate in.
...Have fun with that.
Post by: tompliss on April 15, 2014, 02:03:52 pm
So yeah, basically, if you want to remove Boris from your team's list, you "only" need to kill him 16 times.

Innate Abilities, Weirdness & Mutations
You can fly.
You have a beak for a mouth.
You have claws for feet.
You are partially covered in thin metallic scales (AC +2).I was going for heavy air magic and a tornado/melee combo, but then I found this great armour of slaying. I'm going to go the more standard melee/charms build, since a Demon Trident is basically guaranteed, and a Scale Mail has low enough EVP that I can get haste castable pre-extended.
I'll still most likely die, since I'm basically an atheist with a miscast protection, and Tengu don't lend themselves well to my favoured playstyle [mash the tab] as denoted by my poor TeDK, but hey.
I consider this a major victory.
Post by: Dr Feelgood on April 15, 2014, 02:44:46 pm
Good news, my guy is strong. I might have a chance in extended. I have 5 runes now, abyss was super easy with ash, and slime was a joke too. I encoutered TJR in the middle of the map, buffed myself letting him get 4 free hits and he just died... When I was over with it and it's entourage I still had 85% hp. Zot 1~4 (no 5 because no rmut) was o+tab only, 8 draconians at once and stuff.
But still, no amulet or rmut sucks, the last treasure vault available to me is in Tomb right? Or is there loot in hell?
Also, I said hi to Murray, 5 uniques left for Bay12 Champions (How do you kill Boris though?)
There's loot on the last levels of the hell branches. The rest of the levels have nothing. Pan has random stuff lying on the ground like in the abyss. IIRC Cerebov's castle has the most loot in Pan.
Boris: haste and dispel undead. :P I killed Natasha, but she still had lives left. The tournament counted that as a slain unique. In the previous tournaments, I had to only kill Boris once.

As your piety is dependant of the levels in magic skills, you don't have many gifts, right ?
Wouldn't another god (Dith of TSO come in mind for the bonus damage/protection) give more utility ?

On the bright side, this is the most adaptable I've had to be in Crawl, ever.
The entrance to Lair was guarded by a Death Yak which I barely got an empty tile from to get in, and he stood there the entire time. Once in, there were several Komodo Dragons, Yaks and stuff, so I had to teleport several times. When I had a bit of breathing time, I was down to about 10 hp, and I couldn't really rest, since I hadn't killed anything, everyone was awake and running around. I memorised Regeneration, at about 50-60% success rate, smacked down a Brilliance potion and managed to run around slowly regenning.
I had 14 polearms, 6 fighting and 8 dodging skill, so things weren't really looking too jovial.
I learned every possible charms spell I could, winning fights with a combination of flight and constant buffing, spamming my Wand of Healing, working around my spell failures. I finally got strong enough to possibly deal with major threats like Yaks and Blink frogs with my Spectral Weapon, but I still had to be really damn cautious about Hydras and Catoblepas.
That was a really harrowing Lair run, is what I'm saying.

I mean, the cahnces to get permanent mutations here are really low (especially wth a character able to kill his enemies as easily), and with a bit of luck and a bit of time, you could get your rMut amulet...

You shouldn't try to TP/flee from there with a tanky warrior-type character, as the enemies near you, at least at the begining, aren't the most dangerous. You had a way to deal with the strategically dangerous ones (convokers & stair-lockers) with Slouch ;)

Also NOOOOoooOOoOoooooo my high scores :'(
If we can get one win like this on everyone we'll have the highest placement a B12 team has had since I've been playing in the tourney. Get on it, people, we can't spread the Good Word of Armok from the 20+ places!
edit : Heh, heh heh
Got 40 points on you now :P
My precious Warper is still alive! Even got a rune with him.
Also wow, my ring is called "Suicidal Tendencies" - just noticed this :D
edit : Cleared Vaults, got a Demon Trident. Really tempted to try and get Tornado castable. That'd be the worst spent experience in the history of experience, since with the 25+ Air skill I would need to cast I could get cBlink and all the defensive skills, but... There's a robe of Slaying I could use instead of the Scale Mail, even if the loss of armour would be a major hit... Tornado would only make sense for extended, though - all the defensive skills are a priority on a Tengu.
Damn.

Anyhow, I got the abyssal rune. I usually save it for last, but I got banished several times already. Best moment: I got banished by some elf and the exit was a few steps away. When I returned the elf got terrified and started fleeing from me while praying for help. :D

I'm running a VpEn of Dithmenos, it's pretty easy for now because everything is alive (but me) and have low MR, but I'm pretty sure I will die shortly after orc... On the plus side I probably got the easiest lair branches for that character (snake and swamp) but I just don't know how to play the sneak game.
Also, does anyone know if the bonus damage from your weapon is taken in account in the stabbing formula or just the base damage?
Post by: Graven on April 17, 2014, 06:54:04 pm
What exactly "your damage" constitutes, is beyond me.
My internet is slow as molasses, since I'm back home for the holidays. The game also appears to really want me to cast Tornado and go for extended, flooding me with rings of wizardry, staves of air and books with tornado in it, but I think I'll just do a quick and dirty 5-rune win, and then perhaps roll an Ice Elementalist of some sort and give that a try at extended. It does feel like a waste, but I've lost enough dudes in extended.
Of course odds are high that I won't even win, but getting a Tengu Warper of Sif so far is already a win for me, so 8)

Innate Abilities, Weirdness & Mutations
You can fly continuously.
You have a beak for a mouth.
You have claws for feet.
You are surrounded by a mild repulsion field (EV +2).
You are partially covered in thin metallic scales (AC +2).
You have a slow metabolism.I still sort of want to try extended on this guy, since Tornado is the best spell, but my resists are balls. I haven't cleared Elf yet, so I could get something nice there. Also there's a trove that wants 5 potions of haste, which I'm perfectly willing to give away. Once I collect the bloody things, that is.
Debating whether to grab Abyss and win, or ditch stupid-ass Sif, get Oka or Kiku [she still gives torment protection, doesn't she? Hellfire is my primary concern, but torment is going to be a horrible threat too]
If I decide to go extended, I'd have to clear Elf and Crypt in the hope of getting better resists. I don't want to ditch my ring of slaying, since stuff's pretty much melting right now, but if I go extended, I might have no choice.
Also I have 12 scrolls of enchant armour, and I'm wondering whether I should dump them on a fire dragon armour. Balls of fire are going to be, well, balls. The -rC wouldn't be a problem in end-game, but for extended - no way.
Post by: tompliss on April 18, 2014, 04:58:02 am
Because Sif gifted you spells already, so she only gives you miscast resist (which you don't need with 20air/16charm) and mana, so ...
On the other hand, you would switch to Oka for equipement ?
I mean, 5 combat apt is good at high level because 20->25 are expensive in XP, but Finesse won't give you much as you have Haste. So is it for the gifts ? I mean, you could get better armor (that would solve your rF problem), but it may not be the best choice ...
Kiku always has his rTorment, and it's clear that you don't have spells duplicating his abilities.
Post by: Graven on April 18, 2014, 05:31:26 am
So here's where we stand now:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Really don't want to give up on my slaying, but I don't see a way to do that unless I get a grand randart amulet and go TSO -> Zin, since while I have a ton of cure Mut, they most certainly have more cause Mut and by they I mean all the demons of hell and pan.
I don't also want to give up on my mR+ randart ring - abyssing isn't a danger anymore, but paralysis certainly is, and there's no way in hell I'd remember to switch back to the ring every time I fight a random Pan lord.
Hmmm.

Yeah, that SpMo is definitely... something :o I'd probably go for a ton of evocations and a couple of rods/phials, but you seem to be doing perfectly fine so far, so best of luck with that! If you can get blade hands, it would be a great boost of damage, but I assume survavibility's the bigger issue.
How did you even get that thing started, looks like proper bollocks considering Spriggan health and doing unarmed without auxiliary attacks?
I myself started a HeIE, since I haven't won an Ice Elementalist yet, and I want to see that new Glaciate thingy. I was planning on going Jiyva for the score, but remembered she shifts stats around and I'm not in the mood for that. So I went Fedhas. I even used the evolution ability, which means I've already gotten more mileage out of Fedhas than I did out of Sif in my entire previous game.
I also have a disgusting amount of slaying for this early in the game, and a god damn Pearl Dragon Armour. I plan on getting 11 strength and casting Glaciate in fancy white armour.

I guess Crawl is pretty easy to get into, as far as roguelikes are concerned. It has less hidden bullshit than a lot of games and you can always check the knowledge bot if you're in doubt about something. Certainly there are things to learn, like manual skill allocation and such while you're just beginning to play for the first time. But overall I'd rate it as a fairly accessible one.
Post by: Xgamer4 on April 18, 2014, 07:09:18 pm
I'm a huge fan of roguelikes but despite seeing the thread near the top of the board multiple times I never tried it. How easy is it to get into? I don't mean difficulty-wise though, I hope this one is brutal, but I mean learning to play it. Think I can get a decent enough grasp of the game quickly enough to entertain the idea of running in the tournament as a beginner?
Yes.
You probably want a longer answer, but I've gotta run soon so someone else will have to give you one. But if you have experience with other roguelikes (Nethack, ADOM, etc), you'll be right at home.
If you want in, let me know and I'll get you on the Miners. One of my team members left, and two more no-showed, so I've got an open three spots. You'll need to be quick, though. Clan changes end in ~19 hours.
EDIT: If you do take me up on that offer, put:

at the very top of your rc file. (The options file - press 'o' after selection 0.14 if you're sshing in - I'm not sure about webtiles or other methodes). Then comment here with your username and I'll get you added when I see it.

Not that I've played many roguelikes, but I can honestly say that this is the most accessible one I've played. The interface is well designed, almost all the information is out in the open, and there's very few "gotcha" deaths (though if you're not paying attention there's plenty of situations that can feel that way but were actually entirely avoidable.)
And now that I've said that I need to go stop dragging down the Bay12 Champions!

And now that I've said that I need to go stop dragging down the Bay12 Champions!
Yeah, get your finger out :P
I was sorry to see your previous game end. Vaults 5 really is a pain - I've lost two guys there myself so far this tournament. Hope your DEFE has better luck.
Such an unnecessary death, too. I literally came up with 8 things I could have done to not-die as soon as I was a corpse, and that was just looking at my inventory. On the plus side, the DEFE is going well; early Vehument altar, bunch of spellbooks, rPois, 2 rings of MP and an artifact dagger before I even hit Lair! I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, now.

I'll be giving it a try, although I never played a roguelike through ssh, I'm sure a bit of googling will help me get the game running online.
If you're lazy and don't want to bother figuring ssh out, there's also the webtiles version:

Have you still tried typing the password and press enter? I seem to recall that it worked liked that (haven't ssh'd for this tourney).Yeah seems to work. I've added '# TEAMCAPTAIN Xgamer4' as the very first line in the option file too. My username is Ygdrad
Important question though, will my bumbling around learning the game hurt the team? Can I drag the team down/make it lose points or can I only have a positive effect(albeit small)?

You can't actually make the team worse, no; the things you do to increase your score (killing uniques, entering branches of the dungeon, snagging runes, etc) also increase the clan's score. Incidentally, one of the neat things about playing in the tournament is that there are things called banners (http://dobrazupa.org/tournament/0.14/banners.html) you can try to grab, which are basically just neat little goals to give you a sense of achievement even if you don't win. They aren't worth points, but they're fun. I'm hoping to get the first Gelatinous Body again (well, that and a win would be nice :P)
Speaking of, managed to murder that promising DEFE. Took an emergency stair up (because it seemed like a good idea at the time?) and it dumped me in the tiny vault entrance to Slime Pits with two Azure Jellies who promptly murdered my shit. YASD

Still a pretty great run, I am yet to take an Axe to extended, all that cleaving has to... feel good... ok I'm stopping now.
Also Ygdrad, you may as well use the webtiles - Crawl's tiles convey a lot of information that you would need to examine a monster to see - like the weapon type they are using, is it glowing, are they buffed, are they summoned.
And the most important advise you'll get : run away, and check every single new thing in one of the following:
http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/bots
https://loom.shalott.org/learndb.html
The bots are somewhat broken, but you should still use the hell out of them.
edit : ugh. Icicle, I am disappointed. Three misses in a row. Minotaur was hitting me harder than I could quaff heal wounds. Drinked a potion of rage hoping to bring him down with my glorious slaying. No go.
I'll never find another PDA now :(

the +9,+9 trident "Wuevus" {elec, +Blink rF++ Str-2 Dex+2}
a scroll of acquirement
High Elves are at a -2 aptitude for Polearms, but I need only 14 skill and god damn, I've gotten through Depths on melee characters with worse weapons. Also on a caster the free rF++ is going to be awesome. Oh man.
Also not sure what to acquire. Reasonable choice would be staves or armour, but armour will probably give me stupid bullshit, and Staves will give me wizardry again. I don't really want to go Vehumet, but he just makes things so much easier... I could go Fedhas, get max piety and instantly abandon him - I have an amulet of Faith, I can do it in a few floors. What's Fedhas wrath like?
I could acquire a book. Somehow I feel I'll just get my 11th tome of Various High-level Fire Conjurations Haha Screw You Nerd, though.
edit : Dead.
Wow, I just realised I'm playing horribly what is wrong with me
Post by: tompliss on April 20, 2014, 06:36:27 am
I ask because I have no clue what to acquire on my SpMo.If you've not any magic skill, you can ask for a staff : you'll have 75% chances to get a rod ;)
But it drops to zero as soon as you have even 1 XP put in spellcasting or any magic school :s
Post by: Graven on April 20, 2014, 06:56:23 pm
After losing a ton of random stuff, I've gotten a rune on a DrCK. I've very rarely played Draconians, and never played Xom. He does seem to have great gifting - dude gave me a Cloak of Preservation, a Shield of Reflection and nine royal jellies, but he has a nasty habit of animating my main weapon, throwing Inner Fire on enemies and taking me on tele-trains.
I've gotten pretty awesome equip - randart amulet of Slaying/rMut, Gauntlets of War. No armour since apparently Draconians can't wear anything at all now since ...wings?... and I keep having to use the Spear of Chaos since Xom gets bored. I've read up a bit on Xom, and ... not sure what to do. I generally play normally then when Xom gets bored out comes the Spear of Chaos and Wand of Random Effects and wackiness ensues. The wackiness mostly involves berserking/hasting/invisibility-ing every single thing I even glance at.
All in all, I miss my GrGl of Zin.

Being fast trivializes most of his tricks. Controlled Blink is especially nice for dealing with his nastier surprises. Once I was capable of surviving his antics I mostly ignored him.

Sorry if the answer is obvious, but how do I dump my character? I want to ask for advice here, since I'm not sure quite how to proceed.

Funnily enough, ElephantParade is actually my Crawl name. Thanks!I'm doing pretty well. I've gotten farther than I ever have before (I'm at the entrance to Orc and Lair), and I have a ridiculous amount of gear. I have a ton of wands, plus an artifact amulet.

I don't know if it's the same for other servers, but on CAO, you hit # (while ingame), and the dump file will be at crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/elephantparade/elephantparade.txt. Obviously, replace elephantparade with whatever your Crawl name is.

I keep having to use the Spear of Chaos since Xom gets bored. I've read up a bit on Xom, and ... not sure what to do. I generally play normally then when Xom gets bored out comes the Spear of Chaos and Wand of Random Effects and wackiness ensues. The wackiness mostly involves berserking/hasting/invisibility-ing every single thing I even glance at.I wouldn't use a chaos weapon. Even with Xom. and even greatly enchanted one.
Xom's effects are usually easier to deal with (especially as you get more levels, because you get more HP to buffer his damage, and more means to get away from bad situations), but the weapons effects can be worse. The shaft Shaft self, duplicate other, berserk, etc... It's a weapons you don't want to use against uniques, especially.
I played a few CK on trunk, and as you noticed, they gathered good mutations thanks to xom (even got gifted a few nice rods early on), but didn't use chaos weapon after D:8. And still, it's not Xom who killed them.

So first and foremost - identify your stuff. Immediately. All those unID-d wands are giving me an ulcer. Evoke all the wands [they all ID on use nowadays], then wear/scroll ID the rings - you have innate rPois and rElec which are the two optional resists for Lair, but Gargoyles live and die by their resistances, since your HP is so low and armour - so high. rF would be decent since Lindwurms can and will ruin your day. For general dungeoneering purposes you absolutely want to have a pip of rF and rC, and all the MR you can find.
Scrolls of Fear and Fog are what you're specifically looking for when doing the Lair. Blinking is nice and all, but it's rare and Fear can do the same job and fog can do miracles to shadow your escape from a dragon or Norris or what have you. If you get Shoals don't forget you can use scrolls of Noise and Wands of Lightning to cancel the mesmerise [which I didn't know until like 2 days ago :-X]
Your skills look OK - that Dire Flail requires 14 skill to hit mindelay, I believe. You can probably turn fighting off and get M&F and Armour a bit higher, after which decide whether you are going two-hander or 1h&shield. If 2H, try to find some of the fancy new evokables - Phials of Floods and Fans of Gales are the best, Lamp of Fire is ok, some of the rods rule. If there are any available, get some Evo skill - I'd say about 7-10, but I know nothing of break points nowadays so someone else should be able to give you actual information. Don't forget to use the bloody things - they recharge with EXP gained.
If 1H, Control-F for a "buckler" - it only requires 5 skill to eliminate melee penalty and is decent defensive bonus.
Ideally you'll want Evocations & Evocables on a Troglodyte anyway, but the above, I feel, is the best schedule - someone else feel free to correct me. Train fighting and Armour, summon your Trogbros whenever the situation gets shaky, don't try to hold out for gifts. On a Troglodyte you will get your favourite weapon, the only question is will you be alive long enough to use it.
As for branches, do Lair till L:8 - don't do L:8 if you feel unsure about it. After that Orc 1-4, again - careful with 4. Do the Dungeon, then the easier of your Lair branches. For me they go Swamp -> Shoals -> Snake -> Spider, but your opinion may differ. Spider is a lot easier on a Gurgle, since they have a ton of armour and innate rP. Dangerous enemies in Lair are : Death Yaks -> horrible melee; Katoblepas -> shoot calcifying dust, not dangerous for Gargoyles, but remember them for future reference; Blink Frogs -> pretty decent melee, don't let yourself get surrounded; Elephants -> knock you away from staircases; Lindwurms -> heavy Fire damage; Hydras -> hydras; Komodo dragons - heavy melee, cause sickness - not a problem for gars, again - future reference; random uniques.
Main dangers are Hydras and Swamp dragons in Swamp, Merfolk Aquamancers and Impalers in Shoals, Greater Nagas, Naga Sharpshooters, Naga Ritualists and a ton of other stuff in Snake. Get to Branch:5 and leave and do the other branch. The final levels of the branches are much more dangerous than the previous ones. Get Vaults 1-4 if you are still feeling unsure, then go back and do the branch ends.
Search every new enemy on the bots : http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/bots, they seem to be a bit broken but still work. Alternatively, https://loom.shalott.org/learndb.html
Other than that, good luck with your run!

If this is the first time you've made it this far, I'll mention that Lair:2 is a great place for a stash. Jellies don't spawn there to eat your stuff, and none of the monsters there are intelligent enough to steal it. Pretty soon you'll be finding you can't carry everything with you, so use Lair:2 as a spot to keep your excess food/wands/potions/whatever.
The only other thing I'd think about is a ranged weapon, since being able to kill everything in LoS is much better than only killing things that can punch you back. If you're thinking of going with a mace and a shield then you may want to consider some Sling skill, otherwise you can use a nice Longbow or Crossbow. Once you get a bit of skill in whatever you want to use Trog should hook you up with a good version sooner or later.

Also, I ID'd all my wands. I'll start training evocables.
Finally, I'm sitting on one of those time-decaying branch portals. Should I go in? It's the orc one.

Here's mine...

I took most of it from various players. Someone might find it useful.
A Lamp of Shadows is available in a shop. Should I buy it? It's an evocable, but I'm not sure if it's worth purchasing.
Also, I ID'd all my wands. I'll start training evocables.
It summons weak shadows around you and shrinks your LOS. I rarely use it, but it's useful for escaping.
EDIT: Baileys are pretty easy.

I remembered why I suck at EE in general: everything goes awesome until somewhere in Lair, then I come across my first proper dangerous situation, and I just don't have enough MP to do the damage - wearing a ring of power, 16 earth skill, a couple of LRDs completely fail to damage my prey, then 4 out of 5 of my stone arrows miss, and I am in trouble. A similar levelled FE would just have fire balled and sticky flamed everything ages ago, an IE could back off whilst his ice beasts do their thing, AE can just swift the fuck out of there.
I just can't ramp up EE past the early game :(
Post by: Graven on April 21, 2014, 03:55:25 pm
For what it's worth, try to diversify your spell list with all your might - early-mid lair's about the hardest part of getting an EE going. To be honest at that spell power it is completely possible for Stone Arrow to hit an enemy if you cast it enough times and the enemy at least a plant if not a fungus, but a Fireball or even Sticky Flame will make things much easier. My only EE win was a hybrid DD of Makhleb, however all the recent EEs I've run have been straight-out rush Earth Till Shatter deal. Shatter is unique among endgame spells in that it, alone, can carry you to Zot - there's pretty much nothing flying pre-extended. I've generally gotten Iron Shot going at late Lair with Vehumet, which helps in that you need less spells to hit.
If you're getting high Conj you should be able to get Fireball castable at about early-mid Lair, if not, well. You could realise how the sitation would play out and retreat at the second LRD, skip the Stone Arrows part and go level up elsewhere, but then again if I followed my own advice i'd be top 3 in the tourney by now instead of killing off my 11th char in Lair.
Somewhat unrelated, but I should probably accept that the least won race-god-class combos have a pretty darn good reason to be the least won.

EE early game guide
1. Pick either DD or Gr.
2. Spam sandblast at everything. If the enemy is tough, wield some rocks.
3. Learn all the spells in your starting book.
4. If DD, worship Makhleb. If Gr, worship Vehumet.
5. Spam stone arrow at everything too tough to kill with sandblast.
6. Use LRD on stone/metal walls against packs of enemies. You probably won't have high enough spellpower to deal much damage with it early on though.
You can beat the game with just iron shot, but shatter and spellforged servitor are incredibly fun.
Crystal Spear turret: haste, spellforged servitor, and crystal spear. If crystal spear is only attack spell you know, then your servitor will just spam crystal spear at everything. Cast haste on it, so it can spam crystal spear even faster. The main downside is that you constantly have to shout commands at it, or it will do nothing.

Change the corroded gloves and helm if there are any others available.
Switch the ring of protection - 2 AC is nothing, and you don't have any elemental resists. Use the regen ring, it's still better. Since you have Trog's hand what you could do is get a ring of rF+ an a ring of rC+ and just Trog's hand whenever there are enemies that can abyss. Possibly up-to-date list of enemies that can abyss:
Banishment : Cast by deep elf demonologists/sorcerers, Louise and SOME (ancient) liches, wizards, deep elf magi, ogre-magi, Erolcha, and pan lords.
Try to clear up the entirety of Lair skipping the floor with the Death Yaks, and see if you don't get Swamp as your second branch - it's easier than Spider, spider has some pretty unique threats - Orb Weavers mostly, which can hurt. Swamp will only have Hydras, Swamp Dragons and the occasional Thorn Lotus. Don't understimate the lotuses, they can bring the pain. If you get Shoals, you might want to do Spider first - flying trivializes a lot of Shoals, but aquamancers and impalers are balls.
After clearing Orc and Lair I'd hit up the dungeon up to the end, see what loot you get along the way.
Also if you're not going 2-hander get a buckler ASAP, dip into the first level of Elf if you must. The main dangers are getting mobbed by spellcasting elves, but you can Brothers them. Use Trog's Hand if you see any fancy elves and run away - it gives bonus MR and getting Abyssed is the major danger. Deep Elf Demonologists and sorcerers can banish, I'm not sure about others. I think most others just instagib you with spells. Don't try to fight too much - you're just there for a quick buckler as a desperation move. If you are using a 2-Hander, get 20 M&F and swing that 2-hander around. An antimagic eveningstar is an end-game 1-Hander, though, so you could just enchant it up and use that.
edit : Yeah, you could use the scroll for Staves acquirement and get a rod. You already have decent evocations, and a rod of clouds/ignition could be a wonderful addition. I can't find an up-to-date list of rods, unfortunately. I'd probably still go for armour, but that's because I tend to forget I have rods, since they don't show up on the Evoke screen unless wielded, and who has the awareness to remember what items they have?!?

-snip-The gloves and helm got corroded just before I exported the data.
Orc:4 has some kind of superorc next to the stairs, along with a ton of other monsters. I'm staying out of it for now, since that orc was able to inflict obscene amounts of damage using a crossbow (?).
I'll switch the rings. Piety is at ******, and the amulet means that I never have food problems.
Would enchanting the eveningstar be a good idea? Trog might gift me something better, after all.
Post by: Graven on April 21, 2014, 04:54:59 pm
In that case try to get to the bottom of the Lair, exercising caution as it is still a branch end, and you can get some nasty stuff in there.
I've 15-runed with an eveningstar. You could get a better enchanted eveningstar, but they are rather rare. Your choice, really - if you choose to stick to a one-hander however getting a buckler and 5 shields skill to negate the penalty is your primary concern.
Other than that previous post still stands :D
edit : VV Could be Saint Roka, that guy smites like an Old Testament Deity AND occasionally has a crossbow!
Also ranged combat is governed by some arcane Eldritch code and I don't understand a thing, but in general I believe the consensus is crossbows are strong-ish at low skill after which they quickly devolve into the worst Ranged weapon. Longbows rule, Javelins can do a ton of damage with high throwing skill. Someone on the SA forums had a web thingie to calculate ranged weapon damage, lemme see if i can find it.

Slings : http://anydice.com/program/39ca
Bow : http://anydice.com/program/39cb
Crossbow : http://anydice.com/program/39cc
I haven't the slightest idea how they work. Just putting it out here.
His post about ranged weapons, direct quote:
"It turns out that crossbows are pretty lovely unless you have an unenchanted one and no skill. Longbows and Slings are better in pretty much every other case, especially if you meet the 17 and 26 str requirements, respectively. If you have much strength at all you're better off putting a few points in throwing and getting your penetrating ammo that way. "
"slings are the most strength dependent of the launchers despite their speed being heavily dex weighted. It takes 26 str to max out a +9 sling (30 for Punk), vs 17 on a +9 longbow (some people say 14 but your average damage keeps going up til 17, though the max does not). They're also the most skill dependent."

I'll try to win another game, but I don't hold much hope. I seem to be in a "messing up" phase.
Post by: tompliss on April 23, 2014, 03:55:17 am
First time I get one that far. It is disappointing how bows seem not to deal great damage, comparing them to 2H melee weapons...
Also disapointed by my lack of time playing this tournament. It was my first character reaching level 11 (finished lvl17).
I'll try a combo I know more and is meant to be more tanky... DDBe or GrBe, I think ...

I might try to ascend a mage type by the end of the tournament but my last try (DEFE) ran into 6 consecutive uniques on snake 1~2 (Maud, Aizul, Nikola, Jorgrun, St Roka, Asterion). I killed Maud easily, Aizul came into view (No way I could do anything to him, he's too strong), so I ran to a close stair that lead down and met with the 4 others. I don't think I remember getting that many uniques thrown at me in so little space before.
I'll try a combo I know more and is meant to be more tanky... DDBe or GrBe, I think ...
You may want to consider HO of Beogh, they are easy and Beogh gives lots of points if you win him. Plus axes are fun.

And I find it hard to keep the priests and mages alive...
Post by: Dr Feelgood on April 23, 2014, 09:44:15 am
I'm playing a Nemelex's Choice combo for my next attempt, FeDK. I've some experience with Felids, but I've never played as a Death Knight before.
So far I have two runes, but I'm not feeling too positive about the game, and I'd appreciate if anyone could take a look at the dump and offer some advice.
My felid was similar to yours. I used statue form, berserk, and haste a lot in Zot. It had over 150 HP and maxed unarmed. Everything died in a few hits. Recommended spells: Statue Form/Dragon Form, Confusing Touch, Deflect Missiles, Flight, Song of Slaying, Blink, and Control Teleport. I've never played a DK, but hasted bone dragons are incredibly effective in Zot. The bone card was one of my favorites for my Nemelex worshipers.
I played one recently, and even if it was fun (and knights really add damage when they wield halberds and stay safe behind me), the Orc horde doesn't always really add something to the game. Except heads to hydras D:
And I find it hard to keep the priests and mages alive...
Orc Messiah is good. I had a team of 6 warlords, when I entered Zot. Sadly, only two survived. Electric golems and orbs of fire brutalized my orcs. If I had given them better gear, most of them probably would've survived. Control what they can pickup and equip. Set it to 'player' when you want to give them something, then 'none' when you're finished kitting them. Give them gear with resists, or they'll drop like flies in Zot. And yeah, priests and sorcerers are a pain to keep alive. It doesn't help that they refuse to wear armor.

You know those Guardian Serpent thingies, the green snake-y ones? Well they are god damn terrifying when they surround you with Naga Warriors, let me tell you that. Nearly died to one, had to blow all my tele and blink scrolls at the time.
This is likely the last character I'll be running this tournament, hopefully I can win it by Friday and have my weekend free.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I read an immolation scroll on Vault:5, then I punched a guard until he exploded. Then everyone else started exploding. I got teleported away by a distortion effect, which was a good thing. The chain of explosions took out half my health, despite having max fire resistance. Makhleb wasn't impressed with my nuclear fists. Apparently, he doesn't count inner flame deaths.
Anyway, I got my 3rd rune. I'll probably finish up tomorrow.

I have a question about the immediate future: Which should I memorize *right now*: Mass Confusion, or Iron Shot? Eventually, I would like to pick up both, but right now, which do I need the most? Crowd control, or something for those annoying single hard to hex monsters? I have no idea if mass confusion is any good, never used it before - if I have like, 10 normally hexable but definitely dangerous monsters in LOS (seems to happen all the time in the new Vaults), can I expect to like, confuse all of them?

I'm a noob, here, but ...
You're Sp, so you can flee from the "single dangerous non-hexable monster", while getting a little more Spellcasting and/or forgetting confuse/hibern.
The difference in damage between Stone Arrow and Iron Shot is pretty big (according to bots/wiki), so it doesn't realyl seem possible to stay just with SA, and Sticky flame ... Well, it's melee, and you're a Sp. So you really will need the damage boost.
I'd say it depends more on what branch you're going for next. Mass conf will be more useful in V:5 than Iron shot, but I don't know whether you should go for the Silver Rune. On the other hand, Iron shot would be more useful in Abyss.
Post by: vogonpoet on April 24, 2014, 02:52:16 pm
Technically I died because I panicked (getting out of melee range from a deep elf sorcerer is like totally idiotic, didnt try to hellfire me until I was away from it, I just totally forgot hellfire was a thing they do), but I would have panicked a lot more effectively in this case with iron shot - would have tried casting it several times before trying to gtfo... Ah well.
This panic thing is definitely a problem for me. Its a turn based game, and I keep on loosing well-established characters because I start rushing at the first sign of trouble, which is like, utterly the worst thing to do. I don't even understand how I beat crawl 5 times, or ADOM multiple times, back in the day *sigh*.

You have escaped!I finished my 4th game. I broke my record for the least # of games played in a tourney. :P Got a bunch of points for streaking with a ghoul. I'm not sure why ghouls have so few wins. They're immune to a lot of stuff. And eating heals them. Maybe the hunger system scares people away? Anyway, I might try a mummy next.

The game lasted 11:31:39 (96018 turns).
Dammit, why didn't I bail one turn earlier. Stupid target-rich environment... and there was an off chance that I could win and then Tegga could win and we could crack the top 10 (well, maybe not a good chance, but it was there!)
Shit I need to just go eat a pint of ice cream.

Being both an Octopode and a Monk leaves me stranded in unfamiliar grounds. I managed to acquire a rod of the swarm and a rod of clouds. There is another scroll of acquirement for sale. Will the rod of Clouds be useful enough to let me just dump all the scrolls of enchanting on it? Rods are also quite unfamiliar to me. Should I acquire another rod, or can I go for jewellery?

If you have 6*, you get 4* (as the piety ladder is exponential), so you still get msot of the advantages, especially as they all are invocation based.
PS: rod of clouds have been updated very lately (last months), I think, and the updated version is in 0.14. Previous persion was really good (many elements), don't know about this one exactly. Isn't it random element ?
Post by: Graven on April 26, 2014, 04:14:02 am
- Low power : rain, mist, mephitic
- Medium power : fire, ice, poison
- High power : acid, negative energy, storm
Not sure what the storm cloud does, and honestly the medium power clouds seem a bit more powerful. Though I've only gotten like, 3 acid clouds and one negative and storm one.
It's saved me enough times to barely not consider the 15 evo a waste.
It's questionin' time again!

I can only afford one [I bought a +6 ring of evasion for 1k gold, might have been a waste]. If I get the acquirement, I'll probably drop it on Jewellery, since armour is likely to get me a large shield rather than the Hat of the Alchemist.
I haven't used rods, ever. Not sure whether another one would be helpful.
Also I'm questioning my skills a bit. I'm not sure if I should go for a 15 Shield skill and grab one of those, try for Blade Hands to boost my offense a bit, or continue pumping Fighting and Dodging, and some Unarmed.
edit : welp no I'm done - miscast blink right next to the Lernaean hydra. Guess I'm jiust not good enough to win an octopode of Jiyva.

On a related question, is it possible to bless artefact demon whips (and convert them to scourges)?
You can't bless artifacts.
Quote
If you can't convert artefacts, as I suspect to be the case, I might actually bless an eveningstar instead of a demon whip; sacred scourges only have 20% strength weighting, compared to 80% for an eveningstar, and my strength is significantly higher than my dex. And base damage matters more with high skill levels and brands like wrath, right?
Yes, higher base damage is better for brands like holy wrath.

Post by: Graven on April 26, 2014, 05:00:32 pm
You seem to be on your way to a 2-Hander, your skills look good. Could use a bit more armour, you're probably missing due to your platemail, but I'm horrible at numbers, so I might be talking out of my arse.
You should be able to berserk/trogbro your way out of nearly everything.The biggest problem I see is the absolute lack of elemental resistances - Gargoyles really need those, as they have pretty low health in general, and anything that can bypass their armour can be lethal.
Try searching using the control+f function for Helmet, Boots, Gloves and Cloak - see if there are any with an Ego. You can also try looking for a Plate mail of rF+ or rC+, either will be more useful than your rNeg one - draining is a threat mostly in Elf and the Vaults, 3d20 bolts of fire are a threat everwhere.
Ugly things can be polymorphed with a wand to change their colour if you're worried they'll corode your equip or whatever.
Other than that, leave Swamp, explore the rest of the Lair, The Dungeon and check out the shops on Orc:4. I remember you saying there were nasty enemies on Orc:4, but a Troglodyte should be able to handle most everything Orc:4 has, barring perhaps the mass ogre ending, even then you should be able to lure enemies a few at a time.
edit : Ok I am officially out, and hella mad. Like, so mad. I wasted 2/3rds of my weekend, and this is what I get in the end.
5-rune TrMo of Jiyva. So much horror, so many close calls. And then in the end an orb of fire comes along when I'm already fighting another orb of fire, and they just... kill me.

How much damage does a battlesphere do, exactly? For some reason, there's no mention of it in the wiki...
Post by: tompliss on April 27, 2014, 03:56:00 am
It does nice damage for its level (and especially for its mana). I would say it is clearly higher than the "throw" spells, but seems less than the "bolt" spells.
Post by: Dr Feelgood on April 27, 2014, 06:29:39 am
Bay12 deserves better! Oh, and we're less than 400 points away from 10th place. Keep it up! :)
Wow, lots of changes since i last played this.

It seems to do similar damage to the old mystic blast spell. It's great. Spellforged Servitor, its upgrade, is amazing if you don't mind pruning your spell list.
Edit: We're in 10th place. Congrats, Covenant! Mighty impressive streak. :D

Darn. I beat the hydra and made it to Elf:3, but then I got killed by a ghost.
Well, to be fair, you don't want to clear Elf in the majority of games, it's a really hard branch and if you do attempt it you don't do it before you have a couple of runes. One of the reasons to that is that some pesky elf mage can banish you to the abyss so you want to either have enough MR to avoid that or be confident that you can survive the abyss.
There is no real order but usually this route is the safest : Dungeon until Lair stair -> Lair -> Orc (sometimes orc 4 is hard as hell) -> Dungeon 15 -> First Lair branch until 4 -> Second Lair branch until 4 -> End levels of Lair branches (runes) -> Depth/Vault 4 -> Maybe Elf or Vault 5 -> Zot 4 -> win or extended.
EDIT : Well, seems like the champions are officially top 10. Congrats guys!

Great job everyone, and especially Covenant, who even takes the honorable 30th place, out of 2030 players!
Hope everyone had great fun in this, and hopefully we'll have even more fun the next one. I know I for one tried a ton of combos I'd probably never have considered otherwise, and even won a Tengu - something I've been wanting to do for a loong time.
I could've contributed a ton more to the team, honestly, and I feel kind of bad about most of my actual gameplay. Still, I'm 59th, which is the highest position I've held, and I have 2 wins, which is the highest amount of wins I've had.
I sort of can't wait for the next one, honestly.

And it's about fun, anyways, so if you tried a fun combo and lost it's a moral victory 8)
