/rlg/ - Roguelike General

keep both that +5 AC and +4 str

Thank you friends

For what purpose?

>tfw you find the spear of Boldog just before Wargs start spawning

tfw you kill the unique before it goes it goes up the stairs by throwing the spear of boldog like a hero of saga

Catafag here how the fuck do I do wilderness survival now that the foliage doesn't respawn? Do I have to wait a certain amount of time please I'm afraid of towns

Because that 4 str + cleave is way better than you think it is

Wilderness is endless. Evoke your feet.

What would be the number 1 item to wish for if crawl had wishes

>better than a 40% increase to EV
Uhhh.

Moon Troll Leather Armor

That or Plutonium Sword

The hail mary toss is fucking great

Unless it was very recent, they respawn on every season change.

You don't need to be afraid of the residential suburb. On average it's the least dense of the zombie spawns with the lowest quality and if it comes to it you can just set a house on fire and use that to kill everything. Use any ol' weapon and shrubs/windows to clear a block on the egde of town. Strip one house of nails, sheets, slings, and rags and shack up in another. Craft chain survival to 3 so you can forage. Craft chain tailoring for some armor so you can kill and loot for plastic stuff to cut up and craft chain to fab 4/5 for a funnel for unlimited water and a wooden spear/homewrecker or other weapon.

He's a formicid using battleaxes though. With 10EV he needs than more than a pittance of damage and it barely helps his ring mail.

Obsidian Axe.

...

orb of zot IMO

Can somebody spare a potion of restore ability? I got -5 (2) Int

for it to be nethack

A blessed greased tummy.

>10 EV ring mail

His EV is shit because he doesn't even have a single point of exp in it. If he really wanted an additional amount of defense so it becomes mediocre instead of being an abysmal 10 EV, he can train it but other than that, additional EV is unnecessary since he's not an LB user.

Bleh, none of his other attacks did that much damage.

And I assumed at such low health his breath would be negligable.

Whatever

amulet of regeneration

I rolled with the STR for a bit and got my very first rune ever in the Swamp, everything in there went down without trouble except for the druids. I think I'm gonna stick with it for Spider.

Oka stuck me with a faith amulet that has a -3 to STR so I'm keeping it on to avoid the net loss

Shoalin/Robustness/Warding/Hat of the Alchemist

>still banned from the discord

get a job

that yamata no orochi is probably around 2,500 hp (it has 6000 at full health) and chaos does hp/6 capped at 600. 2500/6 = 416.666... damage before resists

math. It saves lives.

The Axe of Woe, for endless tabbing.

also rip, I am sorry for your dude. Dying in the late midgame of poschengband is painful.

note that all the day down to 3500/5000 hp, the orochi still has max chaos breath damage available

user could have gotten raped much faster by using that earlier, but felt like baiting user in instead.

Did user have any rChaos at all?

*3600, typo

its other breaths are also pretty bad. Toxic waste can seriously fuck up your character in many ways, even if you survive the damage. Not to mention nexus or disenchantment fuckyous.

Do not fight the yamato orochi until you seriously outclass it.

I had rChaos

Resisted everything except sound and shards.

Im gonna play a cavalry next time, see if I can get a GWOp or something else fun to ride.

Looks like he got double-breathed. Plasma Chaos combo.
So it wasn't just the chaos.

macabre finger necklace

ah yes
>you have been stunned

stun doesn't make you lose turns (unless you get a shitload of it), it just increases fail rates on a lot of shit

that was an old-fashioned double-turn, not any fancy stun nonsense

yamato no orochi has +13 speed though

user who got assblasted here, Orochi as multiple heads, it might have ability to double breath.

i'll take "energy randomization" for 500, Alex

>going through tomb for the first time
>jesus this is really tough, fuck these greater mummies
>finally beat it
>check stats screen on a whim
>I was only at rNeg ++ instead of +++ because I forgot to put on one of my rings

How much of a difference would it have made, realistically?

Oka finally put out. How good is this? It's basically a straight upgrade from my last gift from him and it got me really excited

>When Gandalf shows up in your quest and really helps you out, but you're not sure whether you have to murder him at the end

>He doesn't probe to know how much of an inante speed bonus it got

I'm guessing tiamat's new drop is multihued DSM? That seems not worth the potions I spent killing her.

I once completed the mimic quest by enslaving the greater hell beast, but he's not a pet so I'm not sure.

that's different from energy randomization and i think it doesn't happen to uniques

each turn also costs a slightly randomized amount of energy

Those greater tummies will still make you stairdance so it doesn't matter. It's not like you're using a low hp race (148-199 max hp) for that to do anything and even if you're using one, the reduction is still negligible maybe except for a felid's.

Bought a staff of summong

Time to use it at depth 90

+13 speed monsters can double turn +21 speed players because of energy randomization.

No rage to eat?

Playing Elona with permadeath is the most masochistic fucking thing I've ever heard.

Why would you ever want to play a game with 1000+ hours of grind twice.

How do you suggest it?

I had like 5. Fauilt

It's really not. You just slow and steady by abusing cash cnowballing to ensure you're overgeared by a wide margin. having your key sustains, immunities, and excessive resists on top of massive stats and and a mount focusing as an emergency health bar you're good.

That quest makes me QQ.

Yeah, ENERGY_REQUIREMENT follows a extremely heavily normal distribution (IIRC variance is something of 1/23).

Oh, so you avoid playing the 1000+ hours of grind twice by playing the now-2000+ hours of grind in the least interesting fashion possible.

dont die user

evidently. user should have elected to haste.

>evidently. user should have elected to haste.
I started haste, it wore off at some point, maybe it got disenchanted? Disenchantment does that, I think.

Oh sorry, was talking about my ass. The standard deviation is 25.

I play it a little to unwind after work so it doesn't bother me any. You can play it like dicks and just focus on the key skills and really go for the goal. He got to Lost Irva pretty fast cause he wasn't stumbling on all the bloat.

>dont die user
Died because light hound swarm combined with tough monsters.

Remembered why I didnt like cavalry
>FALLING OFF EVERY SINGLE TURN
>FAIL TO RIDE FAIL TO RIDE

Grinding twice as long in Elona is arguably the most correct way to play the game. There is no goal to pursue, the grind is the entire point.

why are scrolls of summon pet rarer than this staff

as far as I know they're worse in every way

both of those things are based on your mount's level

you don't need to get an ancient red dragon as soon as you have fire resistance

Vegan (moral and healthy) bump

Wait, poscheng has normie distribution for things?

Does it make it not a real roguelike?

>Swamp and Spider
>no rpois in the entire dungeon, orc and lair
what do

This is why you guys arent in the survey

Get better AC/EV or just dip them then go dip depths and stomp it

You can do Spider since it has no Swamp Dragons.

It's for some things. And no, it is still randomly determined. The spread just follows normal distribution.

Read the full commit you minotaur.

The Amy is bored and therefore shares this picture with all the fans of SLEX. (cue shilling because one day the new version will be released :) (and the smiley is just the icing on the cake))

it's fine I guess, just some random loser with no taste in video games
would be worse if he praised them for all the gender stuff

Did... did you just assume their gender?

Humans are one of the easiest species though

is there a statistic for each combo's winrate?

what a time to be alive

How do I suppress my autism and have a comfy CDDA run free of endless craft grind?

Willpower
Make a lua mod to automatically blacklist all recipes with difficulty above 2.

Just stop being an autist? An Ambulance or RV sized vehicle is fine once you refit it with cargo spaces, stow boards, and spiked plating. Avoid time heavy shit and instead craft your basic cloth and leather armor and some wood spears to get yourself started. Then just aggressively slam, slam, slam the town. Get the good shit and move on. Once you have computer skill you'll be able to chug through fields on the way to towns for lab id's. Keep downloading new lab maps and keep looting towns as fast as you can. Middling armor is sufficient for most of the midgame and you'll get plenty of guns, ammo and explosives.

Also, don't forget that good int and fast reader will let you read morale books a lot so you can have rock solid combat skill. Being limited only by the need to sleep when you're out of soda and caffeinated gum is nice

But that would blacklist a lot of craft-only shit

Actually, would it be possible to limit batch crafting exp to encourage crafting various different things?

You mean hard limit (no xp after x crafts) or just decrease in xp?

If just decrease, it would probably just make you grind a whole lot more.
