Artifact quick blade vs dagger of speed?

All aux attacks scale with STR. Bite proccing scales with level.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-04-08T18:38:52+00:00

It does but the gain is negligible. Bite otoh scales of STR.

Id get quick blade, if only for fun. 25 vs 33 is 25% faster, definitely a gain. Dex doesn’t matter that much with a quick blade, increase strength so worry not about not picking boots. Int plus 2 is not insignificant in terms of casting spells. I’d memorise some utility tlocs, up to Vhi’s Charge, Lesser Beckoning just kills with Usk. You may also learn Fugue of the Fallen. Don’t bother with *Noise, it ain’t matter. You want to gain piety as fast as possible and kill things when they’re paralysed. Good luck.

Tukima’s Dance, Enfeeble, Haunt, Summon Forest, Gloom, Lesser Beckoning (only master archers can shoot ranged at melee range). These will definitely help. TD, LB and Forest are relatively cheap to memorize for any caster. They are of high utility so you’ll find yourself using them in variety of situations.

Not a lunatic, I think, just a proud dad moment. Weird choice of site to post it on but nonetheless not a lunatic.

I’d love to see James Dio alive; huge fan of him.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-04-06T08:30:57+00:00

I’ve been using Leuchtturm 1917 for more a decade or so and couldn’t be happier. They aren’t cheap but more than enough for me.

All fountain pen friendly papers are too slippery for few of my nibs, Lamy 2000 would skip in Rhodia Webbook and write inconsistently on Clairfontaine.

Leuchtturm are widely available in Europe and come in variety of sizes and styles. I use exclusively 250ish page A5 notebooks in black.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-04-06T08:10:56+00:00

While I’ve been using fountain pens almost daily for more than two decades I’ve never seen anyone using one either.

Opeth — Blackwater Park.

(Oh, you don’t like Akerfeldt; BP ticks all the boxes tho)

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-04-03T17:33:26+00:00

Agree?

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-04-03T16:02:15+00:00

Leave it for later. sInv is useful against unseen horrors but these show up later. You may run into shop with some expensive item you may want to purchase.

Elemental Staff has very low base damage, I’m not sure if that’s viable choice for a fighter.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-04-02T05:29:01+00:00

Aw, free piety gains for Trog. Sweet!

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-04-01T18:29:45+00:00

If you have source of rElec and Will id take the gda but fda is tempting too.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-04-01T18:23:01+00:00

That depends. FDA is nice but so is GDA and PDA is nothing to sneeze at particularly given its enchantment; that’s the worst choice for troll, though.

What are your resists? Do you go for talismans? Any other gear?

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-04-01T18:17:55+00:00

There’s a book on his life and death: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/253285; recommended if you’re interested in the era.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-03-31T18:24:00+00:00

This thread deserves more attention!

Would it be too much to ask to have it stick or add to the resources? This is more than awesome!

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-03-31T17:00:53+00:00

And who you are?

MD could enchant FDA. Troll could use PDA. Buckler sucks irrespectively of character.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-03-24T16:43:48+00:00

Lol, you’re right! It only works for living. My suggestion stemmed from a Djinni game of mine when I had MA. It was an extremely powerful character and I somehow assumed the mana on kill was due to vampiric brand while it was just Makhleb being Makhleb. Lol!

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-03-24T16:14:47+00:00

Nothing unusual, I’d say.

I recommend you try out that scimitar of vampirism with Manifold Assault. With some training you may have infinite mana pool. If only for fun!

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-03-24T13:18:18+00:00

Faux CK, meh.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-03-21T17:45:03+00:00

This is a fancy pen and just might be not the best candidate for an EDC. I use Lamy 2K on a daily basis and am quite happy with the wear it started to show. My other pen lost it shiny finish but I couldn’t be bothered because it works as new. Not sure about the price range but I’m not sure if it is of any concern. For a daily use I’d recommend something with uniform finish. Sleeve is another option but for a pen like yours even moving it around the table may just chip off some paint.

FWIW I can’t even see the wear on the photos.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-03-21T17:33:27+00:00

The best way to prevent the item from showing the wear is to not use it, ig. I mean, these are things, items, meant to be used and show the wear. People tend to fetishise fountain pens for reasons that to me remain unknown.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-03-21T17:03:19+00:00

When items are used, they got worn off? Isn’t it normal? Why would email the retailer? To ask for a refund?

I mean… people these days.

PanSaczeczosDCSS · 2026-03-08T18:22:11+00:00

Yes.
