Lets play our best today!
I don't believe in new threads
Good luck /rlg/! I hope you gather all the runes, orbs, amulets, lumenstones and silmarils! May you complete all your quests and kill all the dudes!
And with that, I think I will call it a night.
Sexy Arena diving is way too tense to deal with when you've been up for this long.
Though I would definitely recommend Sexy to anyone who hasn't tried it out yet, it's a very fun challenge.

Because Ring Mail is the optimal armor to wear in any given roguelike and suggesting otherwise will have *them* alerted.
>>127444426
because we had a discussion about early PDA, which is regarded as the objectively best armor and is incredibly rare, being worse than ring mail because of the early armour investment and the fact it can't have anything but RN+ which is useless in the earlygame.
Then it kinda sticked in general as a joke.

So are Tonberries the race that technically can get the most damage out of fisting?
What about some demigods? Or a half-titan?
>>127444801
the major changers were:
a fat handful of new monsters, some of which are updates of old monsters some of which are brand new

Some dude in the last thread was complaining that it wasn't enough changes to justify the wait, but a) there are more monster changes than one realizes from the post, he just didn't want to spoil them and 2) he had his first child so he's only recently been able to get back to some dev
one anon estimated he'd seen about 15 new monsters in his first attempt, about 50% replacements of old ones, and including at least 2 new uniques

Yeah its annoying as fuck.

but it isn't actually an interrobang since it's not a fused character
Also I'm slouching right now in my chair so just take it easy or risk being quickly slowly annihilated
I thought Saint Roka would have been the toughest, but i'm finding myself in danger very often in the Vaults.
Blink and haste 8and the occasional scroll of tp when i fucked up big time) have saved my ass too many times. Where could i safely grind some more levels though?
I already did Dungeon:15, Orcish Mines, Lair, Shoals and Spider Nest.
>>127449147
You can't.
Should've put those points in Dex and not Int and used Blade Hands while having decent EV.
Though you should have great damage with DF and you have 255 HP, I really don't see...
>Spellcasting title
Okay, I assume your skills are kind of bad.
>>127449147
You don't have very many options anymore. You can dip into depths for a floor or two, but that is more dangerous than vaults. What does your skill spread look like?
Welp time for big decisions
Do I:
1) give the dark heart of baelzbub I retrieved from the dungeon to the village elder, thereby winning the game
2) murder her and destroy all of my equipment with a corrosive explosion spell just to see what happens
3) same as 2) but with sunfire spell
>>127449448
>>127449524
15 unarmed combat
20 spellcasting
16 dodging
15 fighting
10 charms
8 evocation
15 transmutation
Maybe the spread in charms and evocations was a bad idea, but Haste is too good, while evocations were my only means to access reliable magic before getting rich and using bookstores from gozag.
Reposting
In PCB, when a monster is invincible, do you just wait until he isn't anymore or is there something you can do to wreck his ass faster ?
pls I need monies
>>127450124
Too little UC and Fighting, too much Transmutations, Spellcasting should be like twice lower too. Well, maybe 1.5 times at least if food is such a problem for a Gozag player.
>>127450125
you could dispel him, thereby stunning him for several turns
but it's an incredibly rare spell
the usual approach is t wait it out yes
>>127450125
in addition to dispel there are some few weapons that can strike through invulnerability, namely the Death Scythe...but this is dangerous because it often turns in your hands to strike you!
>>127450124
You invested way too much spellcasting.
>>127450124
Your skiling is just fine, get fighting from now on and you'll see yourself getting a lot tougher.
>>127450230
>>127450337
Not only i am a gozag player, but i'm also doing the whole "greatest stash ever" thing, so travels from dungeon to Temple Lair take their toll food-wise. But yeah, 20 was definetly too much.
>>127450353
Yeah, i think Fighting, then unarmed combat are the way to go now.
At which level of Fighting and UC should i stop though?
>>127450691
Fighting is far better because it's giving you a very easy to increase defense layer, as well as a noticeable amount of damage. But in truth, even without invoking Gozag's mightagiwhatever your damage is probably good enough for the entire game already, certainly so with endless haste.
Do what you can to get your EV into better shape as well, though that's probably not something you can easily influence.
>>127450691
You can bank on lichform for stash shenanigans later on.
that's approximately 5000 hp per ten auts
>>127437034
It depends.
Death (vampiric) doesn't work on the undead, demons, or unliving (this includes the serpent) but will make the game much easier when it does work. Destruction (+2 damage dice) or Air (+1 blow) are the best for hitting harder.
>>127450306
>>127450237
Thanks, and yeah that was because I saw the scythe effect that I asked the question
Too bad I'm playing a ninja
Allright Im getting tired of this, how do I get rid of him?
>>127450085
Ok
Killed elder with acid corrosion, destroyed most of my equipment, nuked a decent portion of the landscape, polymorphed myself into the village elder, put on an amulet of unchanging and drowned myself

>Not only i am a gozag player, but i'm also doing the whole "greatest stash ever" thing, so travels from dungeon to Temple Lair take their toll food-wise. But yeah, 20 was definetly too much.
There are 2000 items limit in crawl.
If more than that is generated, auto-purging will begin.
// Rules:
// 1. Don't cleanup anything nearby the player
// 2. Don't cleanup shops
// 3. Don't cleanup monster inventory
// 4. Clean 15% of items
// 5. never remove food, orbs, runes
// 7. uniques weapons are moved to the abyss
// 8. randarts are simply lost
// 9. unrandarts are 'destroyed', but may be generated again
// 10. Remove +0 weapons and ammo first, only removing others if this fails.
fun and games
>>127453075
Im dumb, didnt even think about this. What happens if I absorb jewelry with antitele/antimagic?

You gain teleport resistance, which is a good thing.

jesus christ how horrifying. do they really hate nethack so much as that? is it just to support their servers? wrt sneakily destroying the items you've painstakingly generated, I feel twelve kinds of fuck that shit
>>127453496
Nothing, it ignores those flags completely. It also ignores curse and ancient foul curse I believe.
here's the full list of flags it ignores
https://github.com/poschengband/poschengband/blob/master/src/race_ring.c#L116
There's a placeholder for in the future allowing you to eventually gain resistance to teleportation effects (cast by enemies) but it's not in yet.
>>127453787
>There's a placeholder for in the future allowing you to eventually gain resistance to teleportation effects (cast by enemies) but it's not in yet.
It should be, unless it was removed in 4.0.0. It definitely worked in the last version.
>>127454389
oh maybe he did something elsewhere? I was looking at the stub at
https://github.com/poschengband/poschengband/blob/8ad050ca753906b96fe820dde9c5c47b2113f964/src/race_ring.c#L1383
>>127453429
...what.
Is that true? man, my purpose would be pointless.
But are you sure about that? maybe i'm lucky to have not hit the limit yet, but damn is this a bummer.
So i guess i should get rid of all this pile of trash trasure? What a ripoff.
At least, by doing this whole autistic dragon's lair thing, i know exactly how many items have been generated.
But are you sure this is still the case? I mean, you can't really drop runes, so maybe your info is outdated?
>>127436767
Well the sword looks cool at a glance, but it's actually fucking terrible since it weighs 50 lbs and Bloodthirsters are not Maulers.
Also for some reason, Bloodthirsters lose the fear resistance intrinsic that you get from the Juggernaut stage, which makes no sense if I know anything about 40k.
You also lose your intrinsic reflection and half of your intrinsic AC. This form seems considerably worst than the last one. So much squishier and the damage is actually worse.
>>127453787
>jesus christ how horrifying.
Don't worry anon, that guy's entire post is bullshit. Crawl doesn't do anything of the sort.
I think he's trying to drive away thread newcomers.
>>127454551
I think that means that teleport resistance doesn't display on the character sheet.
>>127453429
>>127454592
By the way, here's my treasure cave, in which every item ever generated by the game until now has been stored.
I definetly haven't reached 2000 items in it, but i guess i'll make an inventory or some shit to notice if shit actually disappears once i hit the 2000 cap.
>>127454656
Looks like it has fun slots, though. Four rings and can still use weapons.
>>127454880
Not that guy (draconic hoarder here), but thank god if it's as you said.
>>127455275
>>127454880
just asked mpa and eoc on IRC and they say it totally does destroy items after a certain amount "but that doesn't really happen unless you're doing silly things"
I think anon's uberstash attempt will eventually qualify.
>>127455275
No, it definitely exists.
http://s-z.org/neil/git/?p=crawl.git;a=blob;f=crawl-ref/source/items.cc#l208
>>127454592
>But are you sure about that? maybe i'm lucky to have not hit the limit yet, but damn is this a bummer.
It's from crawl source code, items.cc so the information should be correct.
>So i guess i should get rid of all this pile of trash trasure?
You can edit defines.h and replace MAX_ITEMS from 2,000 to 200,000 or higher.
Anyway, if you try to collect every unique items from the game 2,000 items limit should be enough. If you want to save all of that +0 cloak, maybe it isn't.
>tfw got hooked on PCB again
It didn't have to be this way.
I just want that Golden Crown of Amber and Ringil.
>>127455750
I'm so sorry anon. I tried to warn you so you didn't have to be trapped like I am. Flee! Flee for your souullllllllll
>>127455675
>>127455505
>>127455481
Welp, gotta get rid of the duplicate items stash then.
The problem is: how? Should i start worshipping a god that accepts item sacrifices?
I'll still have to change gods some point in the game to collect all the dragon hides and uniques chopping drops, but maybe my best bet is someone who can accept this enormous stash of junk first.
>inb4 jyva
How the fuck do I deal with bouncing spells in ADOM? Other than using ball spells, I mean. My magic is too fucking strong now.
>>127453729
you are obviously not a purveyor of octopodes
or any characters that need ac
cause those are exceptional
>>127455854
But I think I'm having fun wielding Stormbringer and cheesing all this fucking money with my Rune-Knight.
Also I'm finding all these different artifacts it's fucked up.
>>127455046
At this point I'd rather have gloves honestly.
I guess if I make it to the deeper depths then I will be glad I have four slots to get speed on, but presently my resists and AC are really bothering me.
Also I found a Set of Dragon Gloves [4,+17] {ElCoCfNxSoShFe}, which hurts really bad.
>>127456719
Out of those ring slots, use 2 on [Defender] rings. That will cover a lot of your AC and resists.
Remaining 2 on speed rings.
tasty
>>127456719
All these years I thought Mnoleg was some kind of 3-headed glowing serpent humanoid demon.
I just now realized he's the upside-down jester from the loading screen.
>>127456719
wow nice gloves
they probably won't gain many powers as a reforge target but may later be worth it to add *something* if you end up with hands in the future.
Those are some serious fucking gloves.
>>127456369
Well, just keep stashing until you receive message "Too many items on level, removing some."
>The problem is: how? Should i start worshipping a god that accepts item sacrifices?
Throwing item into lava will destroy it.
Reference :
http://s-z.org/neil/git/?p=crawl.git;a=blob;f=crawl-ref/source/terrain.cc#l808
>>127456887
I have 2 great resist rings- but they only cover base, which I have enough of-, 1 speed ring, and 2 combat rings.
Unfortunately I do shit for damage without the combat rings and have shit for AC even with the resist rings.
Right now I'm running 2x Combat, 1x Speed, 1x Resist. I'll probably shuffle through my weapons and use a shield.
Hopefully more speed rings soon.
>>127456493
Rune knights are so fucking fun it's unreal
>>127457104
Throwing them in lava is out of question: too much stuff to carry to a lava pool, i'd die of starvation or i'd have to spend loads of money in food.
But yeah, i'll keep stashing till i recieve that message, i just hope the game deletes the +0 trash i have instead of the rest.
I'm also afraid that, since when it'll happen i'll probably be next to the huge trash stash, the game will ignore it and will destroy the valuable stuff instead.
>>127457449
You know, the vestibule of hell is also a great place to stash your stuff. Nothing spawns there after you kill everything.
It's not 20 thousand items, but it's 2000 more!
But yeah
You chose the wrong game to be an autist sorry
>>127457446
>>127457446
I know right?
I'm even doing the android cheese and just said fuck off to the early-game.
Still going strong though.
>>127457802
Yeah, i've ehard good things about Elona+ though!
But i could also adopt this solution: once i get Lich form, i'll just spread my trash towards all the other levels instead of keeping it in the temple.
Or i'll do as you suggested and stash it in the vestibule once i get there (and IF i get there).
I wonder if Lair can be a decent stash house too, but i guess shit keeps spawning there.
>>127457449
>Throwing them in lava is out of question: too much stuff to carry to a lava pool, i'd die of starvation or i'd have to spend loads of money in food.
You can learn Necromutation and enjoy no hunger.
Recast it whenever your transformation is about to run out.
Or play as undead.
This damage is crazy.
>9 average
>74 slaying
>level 26
Though my resists and ac are total garbage so I'm more of a glass, uh, battering ram I guess.
10/10 would meme again
>>127458838
Tonberry monk isn't even a meme since it has reasonable weaknesses such as resist holes and other equipment restrictions due to monk and getting easily confused.
It's just a great fist-caster which you still have to be careful with.
>>127443014
fire, ghost, acid, chaos, and the undead/spectral flavors of them
don't try to downplay it
>>127459343
Nearly every branch has a C too, who cares? Get over it.
I'm getting too dexterous for this shit
>>127459553
So one kind of bloat makes another kind of bloat ok? Fuck off. Crabs are basically becoming the * hounds of crawl.
Well fuck, too bad I'm more of a melee kind of guy.
Maybe I should dual-wield it for the activation.
>>127460525
>not liking hounds
Nexus crabs when
>>127455481
>>127455675
Okay, so I dug into the code and here's the thing:
_cull_items only triggers if the game is trying to create an item and the global env.item (mitm) array is already near-full for the level (>1950 or so items already existing on the floor, depending on what triggers the check).
But: make_level() is called when you take a staircase to a new floor, which calls builder(), which calls dgn_reset_level() after the floor is generated. dgn_reset_level() manually re-initializes every item in env.item (this is the mitm array).
Clearing out and reloading env.item with level specifics each time you take a staircase seems like it should be enough to bypass any potential calls to _cull_items, which makes me think that the 2000 limit is actually *per floor* and not global to the dungeon. So I think(?) that the item culling will never trigger unless you are specifically stashing thousands of items on one particular floor.
The code is all over the place, but it looks like as long as you stash your shit with less than 1950 or so items per floor everything will get saved at floor change and you won't lose anything. (?) It really doesn't look like it's a 2000 item limit across the whole dungeon.
Maybe the anon who's on irc can confirm this with the devs.

Nexus crabs are apocalypse crabs, m80.
What exactly does PCB berserk do? Is it worth it to use it on trash enemies that I'm oneshotting anyways? Half-troll shieldmaster, so it's not exactly a limited resource.
>>127459576
You look a bit like a sailor with that hat
>>127460989
IRC anon here, they say you're right it's per floor.
So you can still stash all the things as long as you split them up a little.
>>127461337
Those are chaos crabs, surely.
>>127461489
Increases damage and fear immunity, but prevents using magic (not that you have any) and lowers stealth and magic device (so your teleport scrolls will have higher fail rates, say)
>>127460989
So, does it trigger whenever i try to drop an item on a floor with over 200 items?
Or does it trigger only if a NEW items (for example if i kill a monster on the floor with 2000+ items or if i use a scroll of acquirement) are generated on such floor?
>>127461489
>>127461754
also increases hit points slightly
>>127461754
OK thanks. So it's not worth it for stuff I'm already oneshotting.
>>127460989
Well, i guess i can stash up to 8k trash items in the vestibule of hell, while the precious stuff is kept at the temple.
If even THEN i need even more space i could use the Lair maybe?
>>127461807
Any action that calls get_mitm_slot() can trigger a cull.
The code is all over the place, but I think this does include dropping items from your inventory. It definitely includes item creation on the floor from actions like butchering.
Basically, just spread your ultimate stash out over multiple levels and you'll be okay. Maybe fill up Lair?
Keep it to less than 1900 items per floor and nothing should ever really be able to trigger a cull, I think.
Of course monks always find great weapons, cause.
Is this good enough to forsake my dagger stabbings forever?

And if you want to be doubly sure, drop a few stacks of ammo or some +0 weapons in a corner on the stash floor.
The cull code always goes after ammo and +0 weapons first, and when it deletes something it prints a mpr warning in the combat text area telling you that it's deleting things. As long as you have a few +0 weapons sitting on the ground on your stash floor, you will be warned when the floor is full and it starts culling, without it deleting any of your more important stuff.
(It's probably safer to keep a manual count of just how many items you have on the floor and stay below ~1900 in case monster respawn triggers and has to add something to the mitm array, but if you're feeling lazy dropping 10 or so separate stacks of arrows in a corner on the floor and leting the game delete them and warn you when the floor is full seems like it would work.)

Someone should really add a warning right at the top of the DCSS pasta to not go to Elf unless you know what the fuck you're doing.
You shouldn't consider Elf until char level 27 if you've never done it before.
Is it possible to max out strenght, dexterity and intelligence in DCSS?
What should a character pick once offered an attribute to level up for the end of min-maxing?
I'm guessing Dexterity or Intelligence, but if it's still possible to max out everything it wouldn't be an issue.
>>127464759
A +0 spear has 6 damage and +4 accuracy, with a min delay of 5.
Adding +18 to both of those makes it pretty fucking good, considering you still can evoke reach and you can berserk if necessary. dropping 12 points into polearms isn't exactly a large deviation even with a bad aptitude.
Alright, sexy yeek nightmare mode rune knight.
Because I like being mana balled by the mouth of sauron at random.
>>127464759
It's not a spear, it's a lance. 9 base damage. It's pretty good. Used it in extended multiple times, won a Zigsprint by poking things to death.
>>127465204
No, but don't worry about maxing them.
>>127465334
Wyrmbane is good but for the love of god please don't quote the fucking wiki as some kind of proof.

DCSS doesn't have *band-style potions of stat gain. Once you're level 27 your stats aren't going any higher except through equipment or mutation bonuses.
Did they fix Cata being shit yet?
So it begins, the great journey of King Midas, the greedy king of the trolls.
Always hungry, literally and figuratively for gold, loot and power, he'll probably die of starvation once he worships Gozag to get his famous golden touch.
A challenge or a suicide? I can't tell either!
So I heard that reforging is a thing but I don't really know anything about it. Should I be keeping all my useless earlygame artifacts to reforge later, or do I just sell them?
And what does the museum do?
>>127466032
Umh, and is there a limit to stat gain trough these mutations?
Has anyone tested in wizard mode (or whatever is called in DCSS) the max stats reachable by a character with all the beneficial mutations and optimal equipment?
>>127466118
nah
Is this an ill omen?
>>127465972
>Good omen
You're alright man.
>>127466427
Yes there is a limit. You can only have 1 of each mutation, and the highest tier of the stat-up mutations is only +4 to <stat>.
Max reachable stats is probably highly RNG-dependent for lucky randarts. Not sure which race but you'd definitely worship Chei.
>>127466831
Look at that FREE xp
>>127466427
Beneficial mutations are really, really rare in Crawl unless you're worshipping Xom or Jiyva. You might see 2 benemut potions outside of ziggurats in an entire game, if you're lucky.
Mutations from monsters are weighted towards being detrimental, so you don't just get to stand in line of sight of a malmutator and hope for the best.
You could go into the code and add up the highest possible randart stat generation with max piety chei stats on an octopode using 8 rings, but there's no point because it's irrelevant to 99% of characters.
Crawl just isn't about grinding until you have max stats.
>>127466959
>the highest tier of the stat-up mutations is only +4 to <stat>.
+4 is second level out of 3
>>127467279
well shit
crawl wiki is shit and always out of date
probably because the retards running it don't let randoms make accounts
>>127467279
>>127467556
Actually the wiki is right on this one. The current cap on stat muts is 2 levels at +2 each. Distrust it as a rule, though.
I have no idea when they changed maximum stat mut levels, because I remember the old cap being 3 too.
Surely my hideous troll can't be this lucky.

>>127466285
Reforging is primarily intended as a way for characters with weird slots (read: monster races) to cover their resists, but it can also be used to generate occasionally-useful randarts for other characters.
The power of a new randart created with reforging is based on the power of the artifact you melt down and destroy as the power source. So really shitty artifacts are not really worth saving because their power is so low...you might for funsies want to reforge one early, but they're not worth holding on to.
The museum is basically a house that you cannot take anything out of. It's for people to put things that are fun, interesting, etc. Some people put their bad artifacts in there. Others give it nice statues, e.g. "A golden statue of Habu, Champion of Chaos." I even know of one guy who names every Slime Mold he finds and puts keeps them in the museum. So it's for stuff you might want to look at later for fun.

Too bad i've wasted charges since i hadn't identified the wands, but whatever, i still have to figur which is identify.
>>127470053
Your character could probably take purgy, but your EV isn't very good and if he rolls high you are going to end up having to kite around that pillar to the down-right while your HP regens. It's probably safer to not engage.
>>127470546
Now slice his body and get the troll hide and equip it
Also identify them at the end of that floor, before you enter the other floor and when you clear the whole floor obviously
>>127470664
>>127470629
Well lads, seems i got lucky with scrolls.
Is it worth to enchant this troll hide?
The description seems to invite me to do so, but i'd hate for it to give something a troll already has.
>>127471154
Enchant the one between remove curse and enchant armor
And dont use the scrolls yet
>>127471154
Use one on a hat.
>>127471250
>>127471417
Well shit, curiosity got the best of me and i enchanted the troll hide.
I already used one on the hat since to identify the scroll i simply read it.
I'll save up on these from now on.
>>127471557
It wasn't a terrible move.
>>127471154
>Is it worth to enchant this troll hide?
Probably yes. Keep it at +0 though so you can swap out when you find something better.
The next hide you're likely to find is mottled dragon and that won't be available until around the middle of Lair depth. Using a TLA in the meantime gets you some basic defensive stats that you wouldn't otherwise have available.
>>127471154
>Is it worth to enchant this troll hide?
you don't get the regen, but it's basically a +1 leather armor for you and it's better than a robe at least.
Still, you're probably better off enchanting a robe of RF or something.
>>127471678
>you don't get the regen
If he's playing a fresh version he does.
>>127471678
>you're probably better off enchanting a robe of RF or something.
No, definitely not. He's best off fully enchanting his aux slots while saving one scroll of enchant armour for a dragon hide.
Spending one scroll to make a TLA on D:3 is a fairly solid play.
>>127471749
>If he's playing a fresh version he does.
don't spread disinformation, trolls don't get any regen from a troll leather armor.

>>127472850
In the current code it's checking regen mutation separately from troll hide, so I guess you can imagine the lore as having been retconned to Trolls having a healing factor.
>>127472208
Welp, tombs were a joke aside from a nasty mummy (but he was the last monster, so i still killed him with not much trouble).
Got some nice scrolls of remove curse, identify and some random potions.

The quest is level 5, you are level 1.
You can do it as a strong melee character but you still probably want to buy some healing potions from the shop in town first.
You're gonna lose all your gold so spend it all first.
