Yeah, whatever.
>>128416089
Made a shitty amulet out of it.
Ive played enough for today.
Remember that damaging brand choice is literally irrelevant in a 3-rune game, unless it's venom.
>>128416008
Probably Hasty Ninja, either Klackon, Sprite, Centaur, or Demigod of Hermes.
Hasty is +2 right off the bat, Ninja is +3 and an extra +1 per 10 levels, and any of those races also gets +1 speed per 10 levels.
That's only +15 speed by level 50, though.
Ninja is only a total +8 so classes with temporary +10 speed buffs can become temporarily faster.
And if you really want to reach maximum speed you can play a monster race with lots of ring slots, or maybe grind for a billion boots of speed on a centipede.
>>128416325
Yeah IIRC reforging into lights is not a good idea cause it cuts the power in half or something like that
>>128417802
Reforging always cuts the power in half.
>>128417948
back in the good days before 3.5 you could reforge up to 500.000 $ worth of useless artefacts, which gave you 250 K reforges.
Yeaaaaah

What's the tankiest combination in the game for a character?

>>_>
you're doing this on purpose aren't you
>>128422294
MuCK
>>128422294
Halfling, Merfolk, Mummy, Demonspawn(potentially), or Gargoyle all have great tanking potential.
Though if you are a beginner, I would recommend Merfolk or Gargoyle out of those.
>>128422385
:^)
>>128422294
Troll gives you the largest HP pool and regeneration, but it takes some gear to actually become the tankiest dude in DCSS.

Give me some Sil tips for slightly past early game - I've read the pastebin.
Now that 1.3 is out I can make it past Orc Warriors to around 250-300 before I get whacked.
What are the best abilities to buy in each category? I got a feeling half of them aren't very useful and some are must-picks.
>>128424562
You should pump melee and evasion early on. You could get charge or sprint for starting
Also I feel bad I just splatted a stealth char just after finding the short sword of Amrod that give bonus to stealth
>>128424562
Google silstreamer on youtube. He has quite a few good videos of commentary on other people's Sil runs and explains why they do a lot of what they do.
As anon said, a good strategy is to just level melee/EV early.
Dodging/Flanking is a really easy to use pair of abilities that makes combat positioning much easier and lets you crowdclear like crazy.
>>128424683
>>128424860
Any use for Song early on in the game? Out of my 15 games or so in Sil, I never ever got to touch it
>>128424562
How do you end up dying?
>>128424075
IT EVEN DESTROYED MY FROSTBRAND REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
THE FUCK DO I DO
>>128425087
I usually get 5 Song around 600 ft or so for Song of Trees and then don't touch it until the end game for Slaying/Sharpness. You don't need to worry about it until late midgame.
>>128425535
You can pick up your bag without it triggering, dumb dumb.
You didn't put your scroll of remove curse and potions of holy water in the bag of holding right anon
They're in an oilsack right anon
Nobody would be that stupid right anon
>>128425535
Curl up and cry
>>128425489
>>128425489
Really amateur mistake - was distracted with a pack of Wargs and a bunch of Easterlings sealed off my exits
What game is it in this post in the last topic?
>>128326768
I guessing maybe it's a game called Quest 3? But that's so generic I can't get a specific information when using Google Search
>>128426167
Quest for the Unicorn.
I think even the people here who are playing it hate it.
>>128424562
dodging, flanking, melee, evasion
>>128426337
So I take it Sil isn't quite the RL with a wide variety of builds
>>128425682
Read >>128424075, i can't pick it up even while naked
Maybe throwing holy water at it will work?
>Implying i'd find an oilskin without resorting to massive polypiling
>>128426816
eh, it's not that surprising that you should have a reliable way to kill dudes (melee or archery with melee support - with defenses strong enough to survive the most noble 1v1 or 2v1 battle) or have a way to avoid dudes (overwhelming stealth with singing support)
If you have neither then I dont know what you expect to do when something remotely dangerous spots you...
>>128426816
It has a wide variety.
It's just that for beginners, the easiest method is brute force killdudes.
>>128426167
Quest of the unicorn
It's an incredible game with lots of history and items and an interesting location system but holy shit
it's so bad to play
so so bad
it's like the dev made it like this on purpose BUT THERE ARE SO MANY INTERESTING THINGS
basically you just want to play for the loot drops.
>>128426915
Well that didn't work, but at least i managed to remove enough stuff from it to be able to lift it and bless it again
Still mad about losing frostbrand, who the hell thought item curses were fun
That's a lot of orcs.
Lagduf and Azog have decided to join forces against me.
Does throwing potions in Sil do anything?
Ooooh I want it! I hope it's something good.
>>128428324
The manual! Read the manual! It's one of the best instruction documents ever written for a videogame! It might even be better than Sil itself!
Read the manual!
!!!!
>>128428768
Oh well, I was hoping for some magical artefact. More light is always good I guess.
>>128414332
i'm disappoint in sil
this game randomly put me into an impossible situation which roguelikes shouldn't do
poor girl was so young, just 64 y.o... she ate everything, quaffed everything and died searching the walls [by resting near them as i gather it should work] till the last breath... were she escape (and find food) at the last moments, the minimal depth of 700 (btw it means that this depth counter is turn-bound not exp-bound) would effectively kill her anyway
also, how do you remove curse in sil except by a certain ability?
>>128429784
Did you try to bash or tunnel into the walls?
Tunneling into a secret door automatically detects it in my experience.
>>128429784
Well next time try to put some points in perception.
>>128428919
Well there's nothing so Ill assume it doesnt do anything til I find a worm to test it
All this drain. I feel like this game wasn't really designed with ironman_down in mind.
>>128422294
>nobody answered Vine Stalker Fighter
Don't let the small HP pool fool you, the intrinsic spirit shield and ridiculous regeneration more than makes up for it. Once you get plate and fill your aux slots you'll become pic related, doubling as wolverine between fights.
>>128431007
Whoops.

>>128429784
>also, how do you remove curse in sil except by a certain ability?
staff of sanctity
>>128430349
tunnelling needs a mattock or something, baching doesn't work if you didn't find a door
>>128430382
i tried a random build found on this thread which suggested to take evasion and dodge and didn't bother with perception-_-
>>128431364
eh... well ty
>>128431881
How did you fall down there anyway?
Well now you know that if you have more than enough melee/evasion you can save some XP to invest in utility!
>>128431881
>didn't bother with perception
it's a good idea to drop some points into that
you can get three levels in it for just 600xp, and three grace brings that to six, which is good enough and gets you access to keen senses
perception and will are sort of like the secondary attack and defense skills respectively, and you should be pumping those up slowly in addition to melee and evasion, even if it's only a few points here and there
What exactly do I need to get a silmaril as a stealth dude? Song of sharpness right? But how high should my song skill be?
>>128432592
song of sneakyness
sing it to the top of your lungs, your foes will be incredibly confused at a human screaming "I AM SO SNEAKY, A SNEAKY SNEAKY THIEF, NOBODY CAN SEE ME I'M A SNEAKY SNEAKY THIEF"
>>128432592

>>128434224
>Alert enemies get a free attack on you unless they are confused or mindless
That doesnt tell me if it will wake the dragon
>>128433697
All right I didnt try exchange place, I realized that he doesnt have a breath so I just lured him and with my boots of speed I was able to grab Angrist before he came back to sleep on his treasures
>>128433697
For a stealthy sil win you need the song that puts things to sleep. If you sing it well enough, morgoth will fall to sleep and the crown will fall off his head so you can hit it with Angrist and take a sil.
>>128434989
Yeah I know the basic for it, I already have Lorien. So with Angrist I have everything I need? Any advice on where I should I put my xp now? My previous best attempts ended at 850 ft
>>128435281
dumping a few points into melee wouldn't hurt
>>128435281
I'm not sure how good your singing needs to be to pull it off. Normally characters want a bunch more will to avoid Morgoth's slowing song, not sure if that will matter for this character or not since I haven't personally run or watched a stealth win yet...I'm not sure if Morgy will wake up for the chase during the ascent singing at you. But if he does wake up, you need 28 will (more likely 18 + FA or 8 + double FA) to be immune to his slowing song.
Also a staff of revelations would be ideal to help the ascent though it's not actually necessary.
You could try asking for advice in the ##sil irc channel, they have some much more experienced players. Especially if you post a chardump on oook for them to look at and then ask ##sil to look at it and advise.
>>128435616
>oook
is that a discworld librarian reference
>>128435616
Well I just found a staff of revelation. I will take a look at the silstreamer vids, to see what happen in the throne room and after
>>128435746
I don't think so but maybe. The main domain is a czech Ren-faire-esque photographer's site (oook.cz) who also happens to love Angband and administrates the forums (angband.oook.cz)
>>128435832
absolutego seems to be awake and in IRC so if you want to ask he's a good person to answer, possibly the best Sil player in the world.

Outside of fighting Archers, what are the situation where I should wear Heavier Armor (like a Mail Corslet) vs regular Leather in Sil?
>>128437178
say that's a pretty big screen
are you playing on a tablet
>>128437669
It's just quality /rlg/ cropping
Well I think I'll stop for now. This is getting pretty stressful- still no restoration.
I've managed to become effectively polymorphed from a mighty high elven warrior to a trashy edain tourist.
It's real survival though, I never though I would be so glad to have a scant 2 scrolls of teleport and a few potions of speed. Ironman kinda works in FAAngand since there are so many dungeons which you can descend in order in Hybrid mode.
>>128437178

>>128438030
pls no bully, after a while i just run out of names
>>128438128
You shouldn't name your characters Akabur if you're actually going tofinish a game.:^)
How do you handle unidentified potions and scrolls? I just quaff and read them as I find them.
>>128438781
Never has a question been so which game as this.
Also I can't think of a single roguelike where that is an optimal ID strategy.
>>128421185

It also blocks one of the exits to a room/corridor

AyyyI thought princess trainer was complete, even if some stuff was not added because reasons, or am i wrong?
>>128438927
In DCSS or maybe Angband it's not the worst thing you can do
In a lot of other games it will really ruin your day
oh hey
these guys are new
Int or dex for a demigod transmuter?
Okay so I started PCB today, and there are few things aren't in the help files.
How do I get past rubble and walls with treasure? (tried searching around them for hidden doors as the newbie guide says but to no avail)
Do I walk slower while searching?
Can I make food out of monster corpses or I just have to rely on what I buy/find?
I can't read scrolls, is that because I'm a dumb berserker or can I learn that later on?
>>128439306
So how do you do it. I'm in dcss, and that's how I've been playing thus far.
The worst thing that happened was some bad mutation.
>>128439306
In DCSS you want to read-ID Identify scrolls, then ID your panic button consumables before read-IDing anything else if possible and only read-ID stacks in case you get into shit.
In Angband you get so much ID from scrolls, staves, or other sources that use-ID is almost unheard-of.
All right, Ill stop looking for loot and go down. I find the deeper parts are actually easier than the middle for a stealthy build, because I usually die to the numerous orc patrols. This one had to dive a shaft 2 times so she is lucky.
>>128439556
Berserkers in PCB can't use any devices except potions. This includes scrolls.
You buy food. You can also buy dinner at the inn. It's cheap.
Just use the wait key to search.
Ctrl+Direction burrows through walls. Since you are a zerker you can probably burrow pretty fast.
>>128439642
Good luck mate.
I'm not sure if this is still the case, but I think stealing the Sil breaks tension, so make sure that things are asleep on your escape route. Probably all of that XP can go into song.
>>128439793
Okay, thanks.
>>128439610
Oh I know. It's just a not-completely-terrible gamble for impatient people as opposed to Russian roulette like Nethack.
>>128438030
FAAngband seems pretty cool. I'll give it a whirl sometime.
I like how it adjusted the screen size and popped the windows automatically. I basically don't have to do anything to set it up, it's nice.

I found a 55 gallon drum in cataclysm How can i get it back to my base for storing water in? Or is it just stuck in place

>>128441423
That sucks. I guess i could set up my base inside the sewage treatment plant to make use of it if I made the makeshift funnels for water. Seems like i can find someplace better though
>>128439556
use the tunnel command to dig through rubble or rock or veins of treasure. Harder material takes more turns to dig through or may be impossible to dig, depending on your strength and the tunelling or sharpness level of whatever you're wielding to dig with
?k should bring you to the commands list. I use the roguelike_mode keyset option and don't remember what the standard dig command key is.
>>128441423
>>128441331
I thought you could move it tile by tile through advanced inventory.
>>128441704
sure, but that is tedious as fuck and not worth it when you're at least one maptile away from your base.
>>128441331
Just carry it in your hands. Empty it first, if it's too heavy. You can set up a funnel on top of it back home, for near-infinite water.
>>128439556
>Can I make food out of monster corpses or I just have to rely on what I buy/find?
if you play monster demon you are forced to eat humanoid corpses... the tavern and the grocery shop won't sell you *that* meal!
some races also eat flasks of oil or wand charges
ordinary food isn't a problem at all, it's dirt cheap and plenty, you just regularly eat in the tavern and keep some snacks for traveling... quaffing potions give some nutrition if you manage to screw it up and end in the wilderness without food
on a side note, no teleport will likely end your zerker killed... play warrior for an easy all rounded melee class
>>128439556
Zerkers are bad to learn how to play the game, they lose mileage pretty fast. Play an android rune knight instead, which is an incredibly overpowered and exploity combothat still isn't enough to make you win the game though, the guide is at the bottom the poschengband pasta
I've sure had luck with jewelry this run.
>>128440874
Holy shit I may die here if they dont hurry the fuck up to the stairs
>>128438927
>Also I can't think of a single roguelike where that is an optimal ID strategy
use-id is very common in dcss
read-id till you find an id scroll is the go-to strategy in adom
use-id seems pretty common in sil too (btw, does identifying items with lore master give you exp?)
>>128442839
those stats look too good for an edain
>>128442279
>>128442540
I don't think recommending a specific class for Poschengband newbies is a great idea, since it's more important to just pick what looks fun for you. If he's enjoying Berserker then more power to him. Part of why the game is so fun is that it has a billion class/races to pick from.
Also starting with rune knight exploit is a fucking terrible idea. You're satan.
>>128442970
>Also starting with rune knight exploit is a fucking terrible idea
wrong
it is the objectively most fun way of playing PCB
>>128442839
Praise Eru
>>128442948
This is an elf thats why, I put my pride aside cause I wanted a win
desu reaching lvl 50 isn't the hard part of poschengband, adroid or not (also isn't filling all the resistance holes a royal pain for an android)
killing the snake is the hard part
i really hate it when the roguelike makes a very hard boss fight as the only means to win the game
>>128442939
Use-id happens in most roguelikes, but "just picking them up and using them as [you] find them" is not ideal in pretty much every one.
Yes, loremaster gives XP. If you want to speedrun a morgoth kill- for example, you will probably take loremaster since it's actually the fastest way to gain XP.
>>128442948
I think he's a Finarfin.
>>128443073
You're literally wrong.
>>128443203

And yeah, PCB would be a lot more fun if the amulet of stopsummoningmonsters was 100 times more common because summonerssummoningsummoners is just whack
>>128443348
yes anon, you are.
>>128439579
in dcss read id is 100% safe, the only scrolls that can fuck you are torment and vulnerability but are completely harmless without enemies around so you just have to wait out their effects
quaff id can be annoying because of mutations and pot of degeneration (if you're a caster getting a int drop or caster unfriendly mutation, tabbers won't notice stats drop ever unless it's something massive as -10 that i think can't happen with a single degen potion)
equip id once you have remove curse scrolls ranges from safe (cursed -X stuff) to annoying (drain on unequip in mid/late game) and chance of rape (chance of banish on unequip)
however when you reach the point where drain can be an issue and you'd be mad to splat you'll be sitting on tons of identify scrolls so there will be no risk
Lugonu really makes the early game easier.

In the PosChengBand pastebin, does "Stronghold" refer to the dungeon right in the middle of the starting town named "Angband"?
>>128443237
>Yes, loremaster gives XP
that's very nice, ty
how much melee and evasion is good to have at something like 400' - 700' - 1000' depths?
>>128444132
did you start it with no wilderness or something
>>128444219
I think so. Is that bad?
>>128444009
Hurtblink is really bad.
>>128443179
anon, did you get out?
>>128444532
What is really bad about a guaranteed, non-consumable escape button? The small mana cost and the max 4 damage it inflicts?
>>128444925
Probably the fact that it's not guaranteed at all? I mean, it's occasionally useful, but I feel you're overvaluing it a lot.
>>128444458
It means most of the advice in the short pasta is invalid, since the pasta assumes you are playing with wilderness on.
The advice about consumables to carry with you still stands, but you can't follow the walkthrough-style guide, since you don't have any of those dungeons to quest to.
>>128444458
Angband is the only dungeon in no-wilderness mode. Which means your warg quest will be on Angband 5, not in Stronghold (which doesn't exist for you)
>>128441854
>>128441782
OK I got it back to base but apparently sewage plants are very radioactive. I wore a cleansuit but im still mutating.
if i make a "dungeon" in fortress mode, is there a way to place beasts and shit inside or will everything just die when abandoning
>>128444908
Just resumed and reached the surface, the last levels my staff of revelation was empty and it was really scary with Morgoth on my back
>>128445608
talking about dwarf fortress, i always wanted to create a "main dungeon" for other anons to explore in adventure mode but i have no idea how to put shit inside aside from mechanized traps, openings and whatever
>>128445608
>>>/dfg/
we don't really know anything about dwarf fortress sorry
>>128445005
How is it not guaranteed? It's a god power, with a very low fail chance to boot.
watching hjklyubn termcasting retaking the lead of the poschengband christmas competition, trying to fight santa, when suddenly...
He's still alive, though he had to abandon the gear. Fortunately for him, he's already got the most uniques killed, though it seems like there's some bug mis-sorting him on the ladder as 2nd place, which should get sorted out.
Nice try by Exo (I think from /rlg) to try and snipe the lead with posting a first-place chardump a few days ago for the first time, with 18 hours played. Verrrrry dishonoraburu that was, denying the information to the other contenders. Well, Exo died and it looks like rwbarton should take this comp unless somebody else pulls a similar snipe.
>>128445702
Well uh that last level was underwhelming, only things in my way were traps.
First Sil win! Pretty standard melee build. I would have tried for a second silmaril but 0 herbs of rage when I got to the throne room so slaying only got to around +11 and I just went for the win.
>>128445859
It's not guaranteed to put you out of danger. It's a blink. It won't save you from ranged monsters (except maybe it will, but it's really random). It can land you next to a melee enemy you were trying to run away from. It can land you further in the unexplored territory. It probably won't help vs. ranged enemies. It damages you, which is not a positive thing, yes.
>>128445993
whoo, nice!
Going for multiple sils can be risky if you don't have multiple good weapons. You are guaranteed to have your weapon shatter while freeing either the 2nd or 3rd sil (it's random)
>>128445993
>>128445961
Congratulations, Shinjis.
>>128445961
>>128445993
Where's the 3rd Silmaril /rlg/?
>>128446000
"It doesn't always work as intended" doesn't really count as bad in my books when it's practically free, and very few characters give a shit about 1-4 HP past the very early levels, but fine.
>>128445961
>>128445993

I thought iodine tablets in Cataclysm could be used to clean water. Then my character just swallowed it instead.
>>128446231
nice, good job to you as well
We really need a /rlg/ version of this.
>>128446328
I wasn't the guy calling it "really bad", for what it's worth. I just find it very situational. I remember once it saved me after I misplayed around a band of gnolls on like D:2, so it was nice. Then again, it could've just landed me next to them, but it didn't!

>>128446231
>>128445993
are you folks going to post to the ladder? You should! I know the devs love seeing people posting their game, as do the site regulars.
You don't need to make a forum account to do it, but if you choose to submit it with an email instead of an account, be forewarned that the email is made public in place of your username.
>>128445927
santa challenge? oh, i wish i knew i could participate...
p.s. just found this screen in my old folder
>>128445608
You can put beasts inside but their positions will be randomized in adventure mode.
In years of playing Crawl, I had never used a disc of storms until now.
I feel like I've discovered squeezable ketchup.
>>128448342
hah nice shot
Yeah it was a santa comp. It was fairly fun, though there was a bug. To make the comp savefile, the comp organizer had to debug-mode the character up to high enough level to wear the corpse, then debug-mode him back to level 1. But he kept the level ~45 experience penalty or whatever so leveling up was stupidly annoying.
Fortunately this comp was evaluated by uniques killed (if nobody won the game that is), so the level penalty was less important. It's still why I stopped after my first session of play though. There's enough 30-50 exp grind in PCB without starting with those penalties at level 1.
>>128446328
You do realize the most common spell in the game is also called 'blink', doesn't cost health, and takes 5 seconds of training to get to low fail rate?
Unless you're playing a formicid or wearing CPA with 5 int, Lugonu's blink is not praiseworthy.
Apparently I can throw silver chariot just far enough to hit this thing out of his sight range.I'm not sure why, considering it is the heaviest of my two rapiers, but who knows.
>>128449576
i thought you meant an actual silver chariot and assumed you were talking about df adventure
>>128449737
same
knowing PCB, i wouldnt have been surprised if he was actually throwing a chariot at enemies
>>128443360
or if, you know, they gave summoners more interesting spells
Removing this in Zul won't remove my Demigod Mut, right?
>>128450769
correct, your demigod mut will stay, and if you're lucky personality the white aura will stay as well (because those have mut_lock)

*bands simply cannot have interesting abilities without completely changing the core mechanics a la Sil. There's just too much chaff.
>>128433332
Is this true
How good is angrist? Do I have to ID every fucking dagger or what?
I had a stealth archer build that took on the order of 100 tries (while using all my stat buff potions) to get the first sil off with a greatsword of melee humans (because the short sword I was using was not doing nearly enough damage), and the entire time Morgoth used ESP to kill my stealth, dug through walls and slowed me to fuck up my sprinting pillar dancing, and locked doors (which I had to burst with a freedom staff).
>>128451796
Angrist is not an OP weapon, but it has the sharpness property that lets it pierce armor. That's very useful in general, and specifically very useful when silcutting because of how thick the crown armor is.
To cut a sil, you need to do damage against [+0, 15d4] defenses for the first Sil, 25d4 for the second, and 30d4 for the 3rd. On either the 2nd or 3rd sil, your wielded weapon will break.
>>128452096
>sharpness
it has super sharpness
100% armour bypass
>>128452340
yeah good catch, forgot it was sharpness++ and not just sharpness

Hey /rlg/ what music do you guys listen to while playing whatever it is that you play. Got any suggestions?
>>128456547
I play in silence generally, sometimes with one or more twitch streams playing but often not...just (silent, of course) termcast streams of other roguelike players open.
>>128456547
I record myself moaning and farting and then play it backwards on a constant loop.
>>128456547
The sweet sweet sound of you taking this question to /mu/ or /v/.
No gloves, unfortunately. If they benefit throwing, this would be one of the characters that could use them.
>>128456547
the sound of my computer's fans and the clickety clack of my keyboard. Would you listen to music while playing chess?
>>128456879

I also sometimes listen to random livestreams in the background, like dota or something.
>>128456998
> sounds of nature on youtube
Now I want some script to pick appropriate sounds based on weather in CDDA
>>128456998
I have a whole playlist of 10-hour or similar things, but mostly I use them to play a bunch simultaneously and create a sort of chaos insanity white noise thing. Currently I've got loops of gangnam style, epic sax guy, you are a pirate, mormon jesus, nyan cat, woah-oh-oh highlander look, leek spin, puddi puddi, robot unicorn attack, mortal combat theme, katamari on the funk, i'm black yall, rock my pony, guile theme, link side jumping, taking the hobbits to isengard, the imperial march, interior crocodile alligator, the xx intro, and sad toy cats.
Not all at once of course, usually 3 to 7. You should try it.

>scum
why do people use "scum" that sounds like a bad thing. I'm actively halving the time needed to grind, because you *need* to grind to win poschengband.
I'm just grinding more intelligently.
Now, slapping immortality on a stack of 99 armors and selling them for 10 million, yes. That is scumming.
>>128460242

>>128460450

>>128460571
You don't even know what the word 'scumming' means.
>>128456639
I feel it man, I just like to listen to music while playing these games. I just don't like silence it's fuckin' weird.
>>128456920
Well I just want some specific music to listen to instead of the generic shit that they post half the time.
>>128456953
I would actually and that's just to silent for me mang.
>>128456998
Sounds pretty chill to me.
>>128457318
I'll look that up sometime sounds pretty good and for livestreams are cool to listen to but I like to watch them to.
>>128460976
Or maybe you don't?
The wyrm conga is 100% kosher.
>>128461215
Scumming doesn't mean "something that is bad or exploitative".
