I always start each game sci taling Banana growers untill i get 2 wis and 1 int boost takes anywhere from 500 to 5000 turns. Smart characters (the 500 guys) will train Int and wis way faster consistently thoughout the game and dumb character are nearly imposssible to get 40 int/wis (so much so that I will fight New attnam if I have a really dumb character). If you get your first wis boost in less than 200 turns then you have a smart characters.



Is this just observation or is there really a smart/dumb charecter variable?

Did you know that unlike in nethack dying while polymorphed in IVAN kills you guy entirely? I just found that out when my char wielding my +8 Mjolak suddenly poly'd into a pine golem before my slave stepped on a landmine.


Oh well, at least it boned.

Hows do the increase from Sci talking work exactly? If I have enough Int/Wi to get sci talk, is there a finite amount of It/Wis I can get from talking to one person?

I gues my question is can I just sit there talking to the librarian for 4 hours and get my int/wis through the roof or is it capped somehow?

if you give yourself perma-states from zapping does it turn blue instead of white? Im just wondering how to be sure.

As I wrote that last reply i remembered i never cleared out UT4, is my guy strong enough that should I go back there and clean it out before I try GC6? or is it still too much for me. I just stuck my head in there for a second to grab a crystal for enner last time.

does my light source make me more detectable? I am carrying to crystal stones (awesome light sources btw)

are quite dangerous, who knew?

I just had one kill my guy on GC6 (luckily I was wearing an AOLS and was life saved for the second time this game).

My question is what to do about GC6. Every time I go down I get swarmed by monsters. Im not that worried about most of them, but the VKD's worry me now, are there ikely to be a lot of them down there? I am soliciting a good strategy for handling it. My kit is roughly as follows

Helmet of understanding +5
AoESP
Mithril chainmail +5
PhonexiF belt of carrying +5
2 PF Guantlets of St +5
2 Boots of STR =4
2 +6 turoxen

Astr 33
Lstr 31
Agi 16
Dex 15
End 14
Int 15
Wis 20
Per ?
Cha ?

loads of wands and rings

Mellis sends me angels when i pray
loricratus loves me
atavus is pleased

any advice is warmly welcomed!

I thought if I just kill the sumo I dont get the belt?

So it is worth the risk to try and take on Decos? Will the explosaions from Turox make the other townspeople mad? I thought about running up to him and just wailing away, but i was afraid that the explosions would hurt the townspeople standing on either side of him, angering the eintire town.

are you sure? I had my guy killed by a big mine on enner level and he was at full HP's (luckily he was wearing an AOLS) does the extra +1 make that much of a difference?

Just killed enner for the first time. I was screwing around for a while because theo nly offensive wand I had was a wand of striking(used 2 times) and i wasnt sure how many zaps it had left in it. Getyting inpatient I had the hot idea of laying a big mine down at the end of the halway and waiting for enner to run over it and hope i had one zap left in the wand. Oops enners scream exploded it kiulling my poor PC. But wait! my AOLS kicked in and there was enner. despereatly i zapped away with my wand of stiking and 2 zaps later he was no more (first time ever for me).

Oh, by the way, my theory that bottles wont explode in a chest is not accurate.

wandering the level i find the corpse of a former player of mine who had in his chest and AOLS he forgot to put on before taking on enner the last time!

Now Im just trying to get prepared for GC 6 by piling up tons of equipment and polypiling it.

what should I have ready for the next level? I have

Helmet of understainding +1
AOLS
Steel plate mail
+6 Leather cloak of fire resist
Phoenix feather belt of carrying +2
2 boots of strength +1
2 Phoeniex feather guantlets of strength +2
a turox +6 in my right hand
a turox +3 in my left


Atrs 29
lstr 27
dex 12
agi 12
per ?
end 14
int 15
wis 16


lots of wands and potions
plenty of scrolls of enchant armor
2 scrolls of harden material


whats a good strategy for surviving further? I tried fighting the sumo for the belt to see if there are any goodies in the minefield, but i kept losing and got bored.
