I am guessing I should stay out of the dwarven minefield? is there a significance to it?

also what is the best way to get overfed? I really want to try to get the levitation belt in NA, and what stats should I have before i take him on?

I read scrolls of detect material for iron to try and find the mines. but it doesnt always find them all. is the scroll limited by a radius, or do mines come in diffrent materials?

Also I was wearing a fireproof cloak which is supposed to help with mines, but my wands keep breaking, is there any way to keep this from happening?

finalluy I found the corpse of a former player and ate it. it told me that was an evil act, does this have a negative effect on my carechter?

Are they useful for anything?

How do you keep the bannanas from rotting on the way to attnam?

What are the sides of the triangle trade?

I had my first good character going in a long time (the one with the wished up HoB), and I stepped on a landmine 30 seconds after entering GC1. It seems unfair (I know I know , the game is cruel). Is there something I could have done to avoid the landmine?


Also on an unrelated note there is a great in borwser flash game that came out called monsters den. you can find it on a lot of flash sites, Ive been playing it on onemorelevel.com . it is simple and kind of limited, but I have been playing it like it was make of crackrock for the last 2 days.

Got it, so I should train astr with the halberd I have so that when i switch to spear/shield I am double training my skills?

Is spear a good weapon class to use, or should I go for swords?

I have a good (I think) character going. I have a meteoric steel chain shirt, helm of brilliance, boots of strength, and a belt. I am currently wielding a iron 2 handed schimitar to train Astr, which is currently at 14. I can switch to a steel spear and copper shield if I have too.

My question is should I keep running around on UT 1 and 2 training stats, or should I try to take on the big plant? I have a wand of tele, so I could just zap her and run. I would like to at least make it to attnam before I die.

Also I found an alter to Atavus and have been saccing to him. I didnt see any info on him in the wiki, does he have anything good going for him?

thanks in advance for your advice.

I got a wish from rubbing a lamp and used it on a helm of brilliance. Now that I have it I think I might have wasted that wish (damn you nethack habits!) What would be a better use of said wish?

I have been playing on/off for a few years now (mostly when I get tired of waiting for an ADOM update) and have not had much success. What is the basic strategy for surviving the early/middle game? If I am correect that the game adjusts the difficulty based on the srtength of the charecter, so having better items and stats actually work against you. Is there an optimal equipment set for balancing this?

Thanks
