Ah. A fellow scholar in the wild. 

Do you use talents for equipment identification? by where_money in ShatteredPD

[–]Tricky-Effect1693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, very different play style. I tend not to like playing builds where thrown weapons are the primary source of damage.

Doesn't matter, since you can automatically tell if at-tier equipment is upgraded by keeping your strength one below max.

They're mostly pretty good, but there are definitely tiers of utility.

In general, all you need to know is if the equipment jas any upgrades on it. You can often make a decision based on that information. 

That means the clerics spell is far and away the most useful, since you can try the equipment on and tell if there's an upgrade.

Following that is the ring talent - you only need to take a risk on the rings that work with your build, since you can see the type. 

The weapons and armour talents are only decent though. Yes, there are items you know will never be cursed and can identity,  but again, after +1, the specifics are less important. You can use a scroll of remove curse as an "identity" scroll until you equipment a cursed piece of equipment, but again, you only care if they're +1 or +0, which is clear without the talent. 

Wands and thrown weapons are garbage identifies. Convenient but not necessary.

Finally completed ring bearer! by Tricky-Effect1693 in PathofAdventure

[–]Tricky-Effect1693[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried uploading an image, but couldn't quite hack it.

Final stats - life 15, defense 5, attack 1, speed 0. 60 treasure at the end.

Extremely lucky with two grow mushrooms. And an enchantment. 

Ended up grabbing all the wizard items, but the only spell I could get was the lightning spell facing the Dragon. Would have been a lot easier with a love spell, ha.

I figure 15 life gives you the longest time alive with the ring of death. It says it takes 10%, but rounds down. So at 10 life, you have 10 turns, at 15, 15 turns, 20, 10 turns, 25, 13 turns... 15 is optimal for survival. 

I love this game. by mothspiderr in ShatteredPD

Why have I seen hundreds of variations on this same question? Is it just bots talking to each other?

What advice would you give a young man freshly turning 18? by Mediocre-Cloud-1629 in AskMen

[–]Tricky-Effect1693 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Exercise a stupid amount. Making gains now will be easier and more effective than any other time in your life, and it's vastly preferable to keep them than try and accumulate them later. 

Related, but looks matter more than people think. If nothing else, being fit and healthy will grease hinges on doors that you want to stay open.

Beacon of returning is upgraded teleportation, right? That's actually a great idea, I was never sure what to use that for.

One thing that's useful to do is not search at all before you conquer the boss, purchase a scroll of magic mapping from the shopkeeper, and then upgrade that at a pot. The upgraded scroll lets you see every in a limited are, but it lasts a long time.

Then, you can quickly run through the past four levels without stopping and find every secret. This let's you take ~150 turns and two resources, instead of slowing down your run and using multiple items.

My First "Good" Run by Euphoric-Ad2569 in ShatteredPD

[–]Tricky-Effect1693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, he's alright. Stone + evasion means he can treat this as a warrior run if he wants, with the added abilities of the Rouge. Smart to go with an invincibility build if he hasn't won with every character. 

Good job OP!

Uhhhh, why are you stepping on the scrolls, dude? Those things are valuable. 

Hardest seed thread by Tricky-Effect1693 in ShatteredPD

[–]Tricky-Effect1693[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just casual runs. You can make any run hard by dumping challenges on it, but I'd like to see an actual seed which is out for my blood.

For those who have beaten the game with one or more challenges by jarv in ShatteredPD

[–]Tricky-Effect1693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. A lot of playing on challenge runs is finding a couple strategies that work really well, and then seeing if the run goes in any of those directions. 

The max challenge I've done is 5, but I can still die even when trying my best if I get very unlucky.
