Yeah, the snow giant villages are by and large unique to daikara. The big building always has a random-unique snow giant of some sort in it, along with a junkload of other snow giants and possible Burb. The random unique one can have corruptor levels (but usually won't) and potentially cast fearscape. It's not terribly likely, though, and there's considerably more dangerous things they can have than fearscape

There's some loot, though, and the random unique'll usually have solid drops. S'not bad to drop the place if you're able.

Nope

At least not currently, anyway. Dunno about for the future.

Yeah, like said, the rift fight for wardens is vicious. It's actually getting toned back in the next beta (Hopeful ETA: Sunday, i.e. ARRP), so it should be a bit less murderous. Might wanna' give another warden a try, then.

It's a bit outdated

Understatement. That build was probably made in b21... and we're in b33. 

Just a wee titch of one

That said, reavers themselves haven't really changed in any major sense since that guide was made, outside the changes to vim regen (and drain coming before blood sac). Most of the changes have came about due to peripheral changes -- new egos, classes, etc. It's still a fairly solid build, heh.

That said, the last profiled reaver winner was back in b21. They're definitely not the strongest of classes, heh.

Frumple, in case you didn't get my PM, I'd be interested in that class unlock spoiler. I too will still enjoy ToME, I just don't have the kinda time to put in to unlock all the classes!

Sent!

Re: Reavers: Check this out. It's a bit outdated (vim regen has changed significantly, so you'll probably want a bit of willpower when you can spare it, as an example, and your desired equipment loadout has changed significantly.), but should give you a good idea of one way to play and build a reaver.

Rift is... interesting. There's four bosses in there, two of which you fight at the same time.

Despite this, the bosses are pushovers (comparatively) and not really an issue. Good loot, decent XP.

Rift's major difficulty is, as I call them, time Es. Time elementals. They're faster than you, they have ranged attacks (which is often a nasty debuff, as well), hitting them in melee hurts you, and there's going to be upwards twenty or so of the bastards in the first area of the rift. Then a few in the second, and another junkload in the third.

Further, the buggery things randomly trigger paradox anomalies, which can cause horrible or wonderful things to happen. The longer they're alive, and the more of them there are, the more anomalies get triggered and the more likely they are to trigger.

Bascially, I recommend going past it, killing Rantha, then coming back. Get another level, just in case, then give it a shot. If you've got decent healing, you might be okay. If you're a ranged class, you're probably in a lot better shape than a melee class is (The retaliation damage stacks bloody quick).

The rift is doable, but it's dangerous. If you're not confident, be free to skip it. It's not as dangerous as the crypt (enjoy! It's going to jump you soon~) or the spellblaze, or dreadfell, but it's a bit tougher than daikara's normal levels are.

Though, if possible, try to get it off the record. Knowing and knowing how to deal is good, having other people know might not be. Having it on publicly accessible record about twice as likely as that.

Depending on where you are, anyway. Diagnosed 'mental conditions' in the states can close some doors, even if they don't impact functionality

Just wait until you see annihilation of annihilation ammo

Bringing light to the rumors of spontaneous generation since T4 had greater ammo egos.
