So I've been playing Nethack and Elona before, but I never finished them and lost interest.
But a week or so this game got recommended to me at the Dwarf Fortress forum and it's been great fun that far.
Well but I have some questions, so that I can finally advance beyond GC 1.
I'm using the LIVAN version by the way.
About danger level:
So basically I should stay with the crappiest equipment I can find (like AV 1-2) and keep some good and heavily enchanted equipment for boss fights, do I understand it right?
What about weapons?
Do the different types have different danger levels?
Like a two handed sword and an axe.
Is it worth geting proficient in a wider range of weapons or should I stick with one?
What about statboosting consumables.
Using them right away will raise my danger level, so is it worth it?
Or should I stash them away until I have some equipment?
About Searching:
Do you have a 100% chance when searching, or is it RNG dependent if you find anything?
Because I've got blown up by mines several times now and I can't seem to find any levitation items.
Fire resistance too would be an option, but I'm not sure how much I would need to survive a blast.
In Nethack first priority was getting you Ascension Kit together (basically a bunch of item essential for beating the game, if you are unfamiliar with Nethack).
Is there something like this in IVAN/LIVAN or can you beat the game with any combination
I would appreciate any further advice and general tipps you could offer (but I strictly refuse doing anything heavily OOC like removing all my equipment before entering a new dungeon level.)
If some other questions occur to me, I'll write them down here too.
