Damn, that cloak of Gehenna is nice.

2nd nemelex win, was a rather uneventfull gargoyle run

[Tiruin]

Woo, I've finally reached the Lair (in between study times T_T). I am ultimately very rusty, I now see.

...What do I do now? ._.; Is the thing about the clans a general guideline or...?
_{And how do you post that character file?}

It really depends on what you are playing, but you should read the article on Lair on the wiki, and read it carefully. There are a lot of things that are dangerous and some thing you should probably avoid altogether (hydras, maybe black mambas & spinny frogs, uniques etc).

_{And how do you post that character file?}

You can press # to dump your character file and show it to us (gives you a link in the message bar).

Be carefull, keep training your offensive capabilities until you can tackle things like packs of yaks with ease (using choke points if needed), and then train some defense by the end of Lair.

Treat everything new as if it was going to kill you, because it will. The wiki is your friend.

[TheDarkStar]

Woo, I've finally reached the Lair (in between study times T_T). I am ultimately very rusty, I now see.

...What do I do now? ._.

I'll agree that the wiki is good to read. A few important other things:

Hydras are deadly. Make sure you have a nonbladed weapon or a flaming bladed weapon, otherwise you'll start fighting a 5-headed hydra and die to a 15-headed one. Or you could just avoid them if you're stealthy.
Ignore all the Lair branches (shoals, swamp, etc) for now because they are way harder.
There tend to be volcano and ice cave entrances, so you might want to bring some resistances to get the treasure in them.
If it looks like a sheep, mouse over it before fighting it to make sure that is is a sheep. Death yaks are not a joke.
And of course, bring rPois because there are lots of poisonous monsters.

I could watch you and give you some tips if you want to send me a message if you have time to play today, generally if you can get to the bottom of the lair you can win the game

I am sporadically online and remembering bits and pieces through every death along the lines of 'OH I remember this, I used to do {strategy} before an- Oh I died ._. Well let's learn again.' since I was able to get the Orb and get out a lot of versions ago.
Noticing several differences...hooray for changing cutlets and meat into something different from 'edible, poisonous, :I, mutative'.
And many other things \o/

And yep, got the wiki for remembrance, and for some reason my IP is listed because of things NOT coming from me ._. Currently I'm able to access it but unsure why it got listed, and then whitelisted, and then blacklisted, and then whitelisted, in the first place.
Thanks for the support everyone

Checked my sheet and after going "#", I'm unsure how to find or show my current living character ._.
I play on the Australian server.

Okawaru...

I've been gifted Gloves of Archery (Great! If I wasn't heavily invested in maces/flails and shields, and haven't touched ranged weapons) and Steam Dragon Armor (Great! If it was almost literally any other kind of dragon).

And not much else. Thanks, Oka.

EDIT: Of course, right after I complain I find a volcano, where the Steam Dragon armor became very helpful. Situationally useful is still useful, I guess.

EDIT EDIT: It's all coming up. After that complaint, Oka gifted me a +1 Plate Armor with rPois. Not great, but it's what I needed to start tackling my branches. I dipped my toes into Spider's Nest after that and managed to find a ring of see invis on Spider 1, so I just managed to skirt the ideal to tackle the branch.

Drop to Spider 2 and find this little thing:

+8 Plate Armor of Fallacy {rPois Int+4 Slay+3 SInv}

EDIT EDIT EDIT:

Gift from Oka:
the +8 demon whip of an ossuary {freeze, *Corrode *Confuse rPois rN+++}

...I use one-handed maces/flails and shields. My weapon when that dropped was a +0 morningstar. I just can't not use it, but that stupid *Corrode and *Confuse. :\ Luckily they trigger when I'm hit, and not when the whip hits, because I've been hitting hard enough and fast enough that I don't get hit much at all.

[Aoi]

I've been gifted Gloves of Archery (Great! If I wasn't heavily invested in maces/flails and shields, and haven't touched ranged weapons) and Steam Dragon Armor (Great! If it was almost literally any other kind of dragon).

I think we should just replace Oka with Xom. He keeps giving me shadow dragon armor (err.... thanks?) and incredible daggers. And once a quicksilver dragon armor, which would've been pretty cool, if I wasn't already rocking MR+(9) because that's all the resistances I ever got that run...

[vogonpoet]

Xgamer4, commiserations, you seem to have died pretty quickly  on your orb run?  .



I don't understand your morgue - were you Zot-Waltzing, and if so, why? Your dude seemed pretty capable of a slow and steady Zot5 clearing, but there you are, surrounded, dead? Did you have a bad tele away from that Pan lord, or what?

Also, why so much dodgy instead of armoury whilst wearing GDA?
Also also, did you never find another demon whip sans *Corrode sans *Confuse to enchant up?

/Not that I can talk, my DDEE is currently wearing a *confuse SInv helmet. Triggered twice so far.


edit:

/ha ha, fuck. Good thing I forgot that the other reason I was wearing my *confuse SInv helm was for the rElec. Also, retreating  into a dead end from sparkwasp pack is genius.
//fucking sparkwasps.

[Tiruin]

Just remembered something

How do people playing DCSS talk with each other or spectate each other, other than knowing the other person's server and such. Isn't it hard to be online on the same server as the other person playing?

Still confused how to get my character dump into copy pasty text because I'm finally kicking into action and washing away my 'CHARGE EVERYTHING'-itis!
Also remembered my most commonly found and disliked brand. Electrocution! Glad I have a greatsword of such in my possession now. Turning the tables :3

[Damiac]

I lost a very promising FoAk in a very stupid way. I escaped a bad flayed ghost situation in the depths, but a storm dragon followed me up the stairs, and I figured I was safe to just walk away at 25 hp.  Well the lightning breath the dragon shot at me did 27 damage, so that was the end of that.  That loss was extremely demoralizing, and all I've done since is play weird combos with low high scores to try to at least accomplish something, but most of those combos are really terrible (There's a reason they have low high scores).  I only have 2 wins this tourney, so hopefully I can snap out of my DCSS funk.  Losing a character in the depths just sucks though... at that point I really should have won.

I've been gifted Gloves of Archery (Great! If I wasn't heavily invested in maces/flails and shields, and haven't touched ranged weapons) and Steam Dragon Armor (Great! If it was almost literally any other kind of dragon).

MR(+9) isn't a thing, it was probably MP +9.  MR would show up as MR+ or MR++ or something like that.  Not that it sounds terribly relevant at this point.

[IcyTea31]

MR(+9) would be pretty terrible, actually. MR+ equals 40 units of magic resistance.
