went for 3rd rune in slime pits, reached slime3 already gained loses temper often, got 4potions of mutation tempted to pop them, wanna save them for zot though, any chance berserkeritis isn't as awful as it sounds for a melee character?
no sources of clarity yet.
edit: nevermind I found my way down to slime5, and got 2more bad mutations, so, yeah, it's time to pop that first potion of mutation and pray. Darn shining eyes I hate you.
went from 5 (or was it 6) bad mutations, to 4bad mutations and 2 good mutation, but at least all my bad mutations are things i can cope with, instead of certain doom...
Starting to wish I'd never come to the slime pits, f you slime pits!
edit2: even slime5 had my shining eyes, gained " You are somewhat resistant to further mutation. " not sure if this is good or bad for me, probably good? Although I wish I'd drank two potions in a row right before this, I don't want to have to try to win with 4+ bad mutations. Starting to think vault5<slime5
edit3: went from 5 bad mutations, to 4bad mutations and 2 good mutation, but at least all my bad mutations are things i can cope with, instead of certain doom... decided this wasn't worth it, tried to flee, accidentally took the wrong stairs, now scrolls take longer to read (ran into more eyes), which I cannot abide by, but I only have two potions of mutation left, not sure I can afford to gamble more, that said I do benefit from rC and rF due to mutations, ugh
https://crawl.jorgrun.rocks/morgue/namad/namad.txtlooking for anymore tips or advice, this certain win is starting to look like a certain loss, should've done vault5 instead of slime5, since i had no mutation resistance and only a few potions? think i'll try depths or crypt next and decide on my 3rd rune later. heck at this point maybe abyss is easier? (yes it's high risk but I think at this point i need luck to win...)
6bad mutations now total 4 good ones. ugh, i hate mutations, if i had my way it'd be 0/0
edit4: there is a bazaar, permanent portal, I've been holding off visiting till I have more money, but a potion shop could be clutch, maybe I should visit it now? I don't want to visit too early, because after I leave it's gone for good?
edit5: I definitely should've done the depths first, regardless of where I got my 3rd rune, rookie mistake, not even following the right order, I guess this is what makes me a rookie, heh.
edit6: losing with 40ac due to bad mutations due to my own darned fault is gonna be sad
edit7: I wonder if I could learn to cast lesser beckoning with no int and heavy armor? probably not, but it would solve my build's flaws?
https://crawl.jorgrun.rocks/morgue/namad/namad.txtedit8: It's clear that the depths have been super easy and I should've never gone to the slime pits, I'm taking a break, if anyone wants to look at any of my dumps, use this one
