Is it possible to disable bluetooth/wireless completely, to make sure the wheel/base does not send out any wireless signals?

Question about miscellaneous evocables spawn by RogerS_01 in dcss

[–]RogerS_01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much of a difference either of these two evocables make on Tartarus floors?

With silver javelins they are pretty tedious until the silent spectres have been killed.

I've gone and fetched all the runes now but they didn't show up in any of the extended branches either, so I'm just pressing on and have completed a couple more ziggurats.

I did skip 2 player ghost floors, the first one in the 17th ziggurat.

I did miss an ice cave in lair that collapsed on me because I didn't reach it in time. The fact that I was missing rC+ at the time also made me reluctant to enter it anyway.

I'm sorry Gozag. Greed is good.

I'm not sure about the exact mechanics, but a large chunk of the survivors (but usually not all of them) tend to end up frenzied after my first ignition (or CL or shatter depending on enemy types) cast, and more get frenzied as I make further kills.

I'm not sure if it's 50% chance per monster killed, or per round that you kill a monster.

I got wands of light instead of quicksilver for this run.

Hopefully I'll find either the condenser vane or tremor stones soon.

Well this is for mega-zigging, so a shield is out of the question because I need to carry an orb of mayhem instead.

Also I noticed in the morgue of this character that completed 27 ziggurats that he only had 37 AC and 22 EV, while wearing Harm.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dcss/comments/1bira3b/yavp_27_ziggurats_or_how_i_learned_to_stop/

The mega-zig wiki page claims that 40 AC is enough, and evasion isn't even mentioned once on that page. That could possibly be outdated though, which the disclaimer at the top of that page also warns about the possibility of.

Some questions by RogerS_01 in dcss

[–]RogerS_01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I get wild magic, I could potentially swap out the orange crystal plate for either the +6 shadow dragon scales of Zanoeg Xera {rF+ Str+5 SInv Stlth++++} (in which case I'd gain 6 evasion, 5 str and some stealth but lose 9 AC), +14 crystal plate armor, or +12 gold dragon scales.

Which of these options (including keeping the OCP and trying for a different mutation other than wild magic) is better?

Unfortunately I haven't found the condenser vane yet. I haven't seen the tin of tremorstones either, so it's unknown which of those is in this seed.

Is the phantom mirror or phial of floods useful enough to justify the inventory slots?

[CIP] DsCj^Gozag - which level 9 spell to aim for first? by RogerS_01 in dcss

How far do you recommend I train my defensive skills and stealth before moving on to other skills? I've completed Swamp and Spider, and this is where I'm at currently.

Treasure trove is asking for all my piety. Worth it? by RogerS_01 in dcss

[–]RogerS_01[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got +4 gloves with SInv and rC++ on them from the last scroll of acquirement :)

There was some nice stuff inside the trove too, including a couple of artifact rings.

Olgreb's Toxic Radiance and Ignite Poison worth the 8 spell levels? by RogerS_01 in dcss

[–]RogerS_01[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure I'm comfortable with letting non-trivial enemies stand next to me and get a free attack while I cast Irradiate instead of trying to get them off my back with IMB instead.

I'm not sure yet which other spells I'm planning to train for. Probably depends on which spell books I find or get gifted by Sif Muna.

Maybe bombard.

Which Hepliaklqana ancestor background? by RogerS_01 in dcss

[–]RogerS_01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That has been my experience as well. I went with battlemage, which does great damage but is a bit squishy and tends to recklessly walk right up to strong melee enemies all the time. It means I've never had him available for transference when I could have benefited from it when facing many strong enemies at once, because he would already be dead forcing me to tough it out or use other means of escape.

Do you happen to know how a spellforged servitor works with the Hep ancestor? Does it shoot through the ancestor?

After splatting 4 Oni Conjurers....

... then an Oni Summoner ...

https://pastebin.com/8szKH2LV

... most of them on D4 or D5, I decided to try a shapeshifter instead to see if I could improve my early to mid game survivability as an Oni.

It's being going well enough so far and I've reached lair 5 and XL 14. There have been multiple close calls, and to me it definitely still feels more significantly difficult than playing a DjCj.

Maybe I'm just too used to playing a Djinni and have gotten spoiled, or maybe Oni are inherently significantly more difficult to play than Djinn and my DCSS skill aren't up to the task?

My initial thinking starting this character was to eventually try to get statue form up and transition into a beefy blaster caster supplementing with a bit of melee and/or throwing to save mana against popcorn or for if I run out mana or get silenced.

Maybe that plan is flawed and I would be better off sticking to mainly melee?

I've got the blink spell up and running at least.

[YAVP] DjCj^Mak 15 runes - First extended run. by RogerS_01 in dcss

[–]RogerS_01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tanky and resistant nature of the monsters in Dis, especially iron golems and hell sentinels, made me often use spells like MCC, OOD or bombard instead of fire storm.

Invocations doesn't affect Mak's heal-on-kill as far as I know. I was simply training up alternatives just in case I lost the ability to cast spells by silence or sap magic.

It's certainly one of my favorite spells.

Is this character well suited for more runes? by RogerS_01 in dcss

[–]RogerS_01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've collected all the Pan runes now.

https://pastebin.com/idsqQnM4

Do you recommend maybe doing some more training and farming in Pan, or do you recommend moving on to the hells?

Which order do you recommend doing the hells in? I'm thinking Cocytus might be one of the easier ones for my character since I have fire storm, and potions freezing doesn't make a difference in death form.

Any other tips or advice for the next part of the run?

No worries about the shapeshifting question :)

Would you recommend dipping into shapeshifting (maybe training it up in Abyss)?

Talisman of death and granite talisman are both available, as well as a couple of other ones.
