So we're in the ironic shitposting op phase of the general, I see.
Always follows unrelated anime shit op.

Only 2 floors until I complete my very first 15 rune game.
Tomb was intimidating was as fuck when I entered it before doing Pan and Hells, but now it's nothing that I can't deal with.
this character's going to splat so hard.

I really need to read the help files more.
Thanks. That was driving me crazy.
Clearing out Tomb is going to give me an ulcer, too much stress senpai.
I can already smell victory
Look, everyone.
He memed.
Oh what a funny meme.
Simply epic.

that's why we play roguelikes in the first place
Monthly reminder that the upcoming blockbuster roguelike Incursion already thought of this and have size mods, example being my summoned elephant here which I think is modded to the D&D size colossal:
>elephant
>6 tiles wide
that's clearly an oliphant
possibly a dire oliphant
What should I do with these books?
Seem like good vendor fodder, though they clutter up the inventory...
Speed weapons are better the more slaying you have, right? Will a +5 longbow of speed outdamage a +10 longbow of freezing if I have +5 slaying?
Speed is one of the strongest brands in the game, only beat out by Holy Wrath which is much more situational of course.
Use the longbow of speed.
Is cataclysm DDA better with wander spawns on or off
He is just the result of some very good breeding and some magical motivation - it is however quite cute that D&D has a simplified interpretation of monster size so that you dont have the entire strict 1 tile = 1 rat = 1 ancient elder wyrm progression
On.
So the 5 difference in enchantment doesn't matter that much?
>drained so much I can't even cast my spells reliably- in my randart greed I stopped wearing my rN++
Drink potion of brilliance and wear ring of wizardry to counter that drain.
it matters a little bit, but enchantment isn't as big of a deal as most players think
the base damage of a weapon is multiplied by bonuses from stats and skills while the enchantment isn't, so enchantment is a smaller proportion of your damage than most people think
>>somewhere, somehow I've got everything on the entire level running after me
Literally the one important sentence in your entire post, and it tells us nothing.
Fault.
FAULT!
>vampire enchanter of dith
>pick up a +1 short sword of speed off a kobold on D5
Could a short sword of speed be a good weapon? Base damage seems poor but it would be pretty fast at min delay, right?
>barely keep a general alive

A fucking discord.

>tfw weeping wine mushroom 3 blocks away from joppa
Offhand, there's more than 50000 drams up there, and more every time I go back.
Each waterskin sells for 109$.
Yeah, min delay with the speed brand would make its delay 0.3 in some cases, which is fast as fuck.
its ok but not amazing unless you have something that synergizes strongly with high attackspeed such as a big pile of +slaying or the Vine Stalker's bite
attacking 3 times instead of 2 is great but if you have shortsword damage against an enemy with ok AC you will just be doing 3x 0 damage
hey at least you didn't fail the alchemy test
First ever 15-rune win, fuck me that was a wild ride.
Most intense run I've ever had, It was so much more fun(and stressful) than a 3-runer.
congrats! It was fun following your adventures

how to get the most gold per item efficiency in poscheng? My top shopkeepers limit up to 30000 and i want more
black marketeer human/demigods and burglary rogues can sell to black markets at fair prices, and those have high caps
ideally you pick up the Alchemy mutation (or spell if you're the right kind of caster I guess) so you can melt items down for gold right in the dungeon
also if you're building it yourself you could just change the shop caps
you can't get more
there's an alchemy spell in the sorcery books but even THAT caps at 30k gold
Alchemy gives less gold than selling things, I think.
Or at least the item activation form does.
well currently it's stored as a signed 16bit integer so it can't go above 32000ish
you'd have to change that
yeah but it's definitely the most quality of life way to gain gold overall, which is why I mentioned it
Can someone help me with my Elona gamepad problem from the previous thread? I can't use any of the diagonal options of movement on my 360 controller. Is there a way to fix this?
My laptop lacks a numpad and this seems like a way easier option.
Let It Die is my favorite roguelike.
Actually IIRC, the cap is stored invidually as a s16b int, but shops/money operate on s32b.
It's possible to make a get-function for cap and add desired amount ( ex. I altered merchant's friend mut to give 10k extra for all shops, plus halve the shuffle/hold service prices ).
what software are you using for the 360 controller? it sounds like the fuckup is with that if you can't enter diagonals at all...
Technically it's a 3rd party plug and play and I'm using the standard Elona settings. Is there a better way to do things? The diagonals work in every other game. I just need diagonals for movement and that quick menu. Really makes the game flow nicely
The 3rd time I've ever reached max level... yay
You need some rF.
Agreed, only source I have so far is one generic ring of rF
I've died to a hydra 3 times today.
as i said: fuck around with the software or the driver settings or whatever for your controller
me too thanks

Is piercing a good brand or should I try rebranding?
+9 on a demon trident with riposte makes pierce nice.
>the sleeping ogre is unable to defend itself.
>you dice the ogre like an onion!!!
Tried it. Turns out it uses the default XBOX 360 drivers. Any recommended 3rd party software to use for Elona?

Are you fucking kidding me with this horse shit? Never use that , command to send everything from one pile to another. You'll fucking die to frostbite and I'm pretty sure you do it faster with M anyway.
Still that was a fucking stupid rip.
>I'm pretty sure you do it faster with M anyway.
You do.
I once survived a fight with very low torso health and dropped dead of being cold afterwards, was very strange.
Just alt f4 when you die and load your save again
>scumming
You're playing offline anyway, it's not like it's any different.
can't you just magically patch up that frostbite damage by rubbing a bag full of cotton balls on your head?

It's just ridiculous.
pretty sure chris' designing of the dragon monster race went something like this:

>2) What if you could wear all the rings of power at once """"eventually""""
Does someone have a list of all the PCB variants and their various pros and cons? I mostly just want the quality-of-life updates.
elliposchengband has elliptic's and mpa's quality of life changes, the code is available at github.com
pseudoelliposchengbandR has it all. Its changes beyond elliposchengband is more focused on adding additional content (some neat stuff). The only real downside is that it is a pain in the ass to build on any setup that's not identical with the creator's because he broke a bunch of stuff. Fortunately, if you're on windows, the already-compiled .exe can be had at github.com
I wish I had the chops to fix some of the stuff he broke so I could get it to work in cygwin so I could termcast it and use the font I like, but alas...
>possessors
>bad
I mean they do cap out at 4 blows (obviously not including +atk items)
but they are super cool
>literally the worst monster race outside of ultragimmicks like possessors and elementals
They're probably near the strongest of the non-humanoid ones, actually. Which isn't really saying much when you're compared to crap like centipedes, hounds, and hydras.
>awful base stats
If you pick the good dragons (the elemental ones), you get more and more stats every time you evolve, and eventually speed.
>no fucking AC because lol rings
Armor realm, literally the best one.
I don't think they're really that terrible, there are just a lot of bad choices you can make at character creation (anything besides an elemental or passwall one, most realms).
mpa-pcb: all QoL changes, not updated very recently
ellipcb: elliptic's continuation of mpa-pcb
pseudoellipcb: even more QoL shit added on top of all ellipcb's stuff
pcb-r: mostly content changes like new races/classes/items/uniques, but also some balance changes like significantly faster level gain
pseudoposchengbandR: pcb-r with the QoL changes from pseudoelliposchengband merged in
Thanks for going the extra mile, I was just hoping for a link to a pastebin or something. Have a happy new year!
also apparently amy's working on some stuff too? that might be pretty fun. Her design aesthetic (everything plus the nethack sink) may make for a beautiful and socially liberal marriage
is there a reason to pick any dragon other than fire/ice for notterriblestats or the wall-walking ones for maximum meme status?
i guess if you want to do crusade/death realm you need specific colors...
well the main reason would be character flavor for fun, even at the cost of in-game suffering
I've never tried crystal drake, but the Serpent notably doesn't resist shards, so perhaps there's something to a crystal breath realm eventually? Probably isn't exactly overwhelming, but it's an idea.
Gold might be decent with breath realm, I guess, since very little resists it.
Hounds are great compared to dragons. Excellent slots which include body armor, cheap and easy breath, speed, fast as shit levelups. I imagine centipedes are much the same, and there are 10,000,000 great randart boots. Meanwhile anything but a steel dragon is going to get slammed in melee 95% of the time because they can't get AC, there are no decent rings before DL85, and we both know armor realm is a boring and uninteresting buffmeister. Bad design! Bad!
But yes, hydras are just dragons with zany slots.
Shit.
Went to a historical site,
got the the bottom,
never found the relic.
now what?

CoQ
...
>cursed randarts with -speed
has there ever been a single one of these that was actually usable
What's a nice combo to win with after succeeding with MiBe?
yeah, in the very lategame one often (not always) ends up with more speed than is useful, because of the diminishing returns. +stat, high damage dice and enchantment, +device skill, +device power, and +attacks might be contenders depending on your lategame equipment options.
but it takes a long time to get to the point where you have excess speed
MiFi or TrBe or KoBe
I've used boots of the golem once, I think.
This is my favorite speed related silliness.
yeah but you still then need to find an item that's actually good enough to be worth the -speed compared to just swapping out your speedring or dropping ringil for a higher-damage weapon or whatever
there are some standarts that can be worth it like those -1speed +10 slaying boots or Winblows for maulers
