same mistake again? [V] [YACD]

by Eddie Grove <eddiegrove@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 2, 2008 at 09:18 AM

I decided to aim at the possibility of a 250K turn win, so I pulled out the
big guns and tried some rangers.

This is possibly my best start ever.  I am in town after my first trip.  I
returned with about 5.5K money, bought a couple ?recall, have 5055 left.
This is my patched version, so selling to generate more cash is
disallowed.
My sling is *not* a gift certificate worth 7K.  The bonus cash, about 3.5K
at
this point in the game, helps but does not make up for no selling.

Playing warriors, I remember learning a lesson over and over.  Buy a staff
of
teleportation instead of enchanting your bow.  Very important lesson.

This time is different. :)  That's what I keep thinking.  There are
scrolls of
teleport level for sale.  However, staves beat scrolls when blind or
confused.
I really want to get a ring of SI, but cannot afford both it and _telSelf.

Is it really different this time?
Often, people who answer that question with "yes" eventually regret it.


Came home with 5533, after 2 ?recall, 5055 left.

4374    _telSelf
  56    !hero
 161    !CCW
 161    ?rCurse
 204    ?enchant hit or dam
 245    ?recall
  82    ?id
 202    ?telLevel
1374    =SI
   2    arrows
   3    shots

So what do I buy?  Large quantities are available on the consumables.
I intend to go down to 1500' on the next trip, luck permitting.
If I get any ?+dam, do I use them on a bow, the sling, or the rapier?


I'd guess my rapier is +2 dam, and the sling is +4 or +5 dam, but I don't
have
any real confidence in those guesses.  I have not been using them that
long
and I refuse to take notes.


I've made branded weapons obvious when wielded, so even with weak pseudo
the
best a {good} weapon can be is one of the x2 or x3 slays.
Please forgive the formatting.  There are assorted bugs still to work out.
