The livelogs are there πŸ™‚ 09:12 <@malorpower> Hackem is easier so I started with that. 09:12 :-( 09:12 <@malorpower> I saw that you have to lock the chest. 09:12 I think yes, after the early game, hackem seems easier. 09:12 <@malorpower> Hackem is considerably easier, although not being able to wish for properties is a potential problem. 09:13 <@malorpower> zero turn swap meant that I could use my lance 100% of the time it was beneficial without ever worrying about it breaking. 09:13 <@malorpower> That's gigantic. 09:13 I remember that in lastest hackem version everytime you wish you'll have penalty that decrease your max luck. 09:13 <@malorpower> after the first wish, yes. 09:13 What is zero turn swap? 09:14 <@malorpower> if you have an alternate weapon, hitting "x" will switch it without using any time. 09:14 I see cool. 09:15 <@malorpower> after playing for a while I think maybe Drow Wizard would be the most beginner friendly combo for Evilhack. 09:15 <@malorpower> I have completely used up 3 non magical lamps so far since not being able to see my foe is often extremely deadly. 09:15 <@malorpower> Drow being able to see nicely all the time is a really good ability. 09:15 Yes, I strongly recommend that. 09:16 Wizards have really lots of advantages. 09:16 You can use forge to forge more or more powerful lance, so maybe one break you could forge another one :) 09:17 <@malorpower> I haven't found any forges yet. 09:18 Ah well I see, dunno about hackem but in evilhack you'll have a guranteed forge in goblin town. 09:19 -!- mobileuser has quit [Quit: Client closed] 09:20 <@malorpower> there is no goblin town in Hackem 😦 09:22 -!- mobileuser has joined #evilhack 09:23 [hdf-us] [evil] Koeranen (Ran Elf Fem Neu), 635 points, T:1675, killed by a mithril dart 09:29 [hdf-us] [evil] Unguarded1765 (Rog Hum Fem Neu) destroyed dbanethacker's ghost, the former Fighter, on T:12672 (2:48:05) 09:30 [hdf-us] [evil] Unguarded1765 (Rog Hum Fem Neu) eschewed atheism, by dropping 4 runed arrows on an altar, on T:12832 (2:49:20) 09:33 [hdf-us] [evil] Koeranen (Ran Elf Fem Neu) chose an elven dagger to be named "Sting", on T:453 (0:03:12) 09:37 [hdf-us] [evil] Unguarded1765 (Rog Hum Fem Neu) had a cloak of displacement entrusted to her by Mog, on T:13035 (2:55:34) 09:38 <@malorpower> I'm doing pretty well in Hackem. I was just crowned, so I finally have a weapon better than my opening long sword πŸ™‚ 09:43 Great work. 09:44 <@malorpower> Centaur Knight is over powered in Hackem. 09:51 [hdf-us] [evil] krm26 (Wiz Hum Fem Cha) completed Sokoban, acquiring an amulet of reflection, on T:20514 (8:27:37) 09:53 [hdf-us] [evil] Unguarded1765 (Rog Hum Fem Neu) had Magicbane bestowed upon her by Mog, on T:13519 (3:11:28) 09:59 [hdf-us] [evil] Unguarded1765 (Rog Hum Fem Neu) had a bone short sword entrusted to her by Mog, on T:13654 (3:18:06) 10:04 Why's that? 10:04 I think centaur is indeed a great race. 10:04 pretty powerful in evilhack too 10:04 you don't need a mount as centaur to joust xdminsy 10:05 I'm not clear that why zero turn swap make the lance won't break? 10:05 Hit and swap every turn? 10:05 yeah I don't get that either 10:05 I see, then jousting without a steed, sounds so powerful. 10:12 https://i.imgur.com/gZ1qNqG.jpeg 10:12 [hdf-us] [evil] Koeranen (Ran Elf Fem Neu) killed the Goblin King, on T:6008 (0:42:17) 10:20 <@malorpower> zero turn explained -> I only use the lance for the ranged "apply" attack. That never breaks it.

And that's a long way from the altar. And I altar camped for a pretty long time I think. Long enough to get crowned. 15:46 [hdf-us] [evil] krm26 (Wiz Hum Fem Cha) killed Croesus, on T:40883 (14:23:04) 16:09 awww knights gonna be jelly, found a magical lance :-) 16:09 -!- Umbire has joined #evilhack 16:10 cursed +0 lance of frost 16:11 <@malorpower> Looks like I'm going to die here, or at least I want to. Yet another polymorph trap destroyed most of my armor again. 16:11 <@malorpower> Still zero wishes or sources of magic resistance all game. 16:12 altar to camp while waiting for mr or poly control? 16:12 dont give up! 16:12 <@malorpower> dead. 16:12 :-( 16:13 <@malorpower> there was a blue dragon right next to me also. So it two hit me and killed me through my poly form. 16:14 <@malorpower> Overall I did NOT like how frequently I lost everything to polymorph. 16:14 <@malorpower> I can see why playing wizard makes sense. 16:14 <@malorpower> I did a lot through the game and never had a sniff at anything with magic resistance. 16:14 <@malorpower> How would altar camping give me magic resistance? 16:14 could get a cloak of mr from your god 16:15 also, you hang around sacrificing and eating, loot comes to you 16:15 without diving down into polytrap levels 16:15 <@malorpower> oh, my gifts were beyond useless. I got windrider and a 2 handed sword that was essentially worse than my long sword. 16:15 windrider? oh, you arent playing evil :-) 16:15 my advice is worse than useless for any other variant 16:15 <@malorpower> Yeah I was in hackem. 16:15 hackem maybe not easy after all ;-) 16:16 <@malorpower> no it definitely is. I just never got magic resistance. 16:16 in evil i dont descend past sokoban without mr or poly control unless ive made my peace with death 16:16 <@malorpower> so you just altar camp for a long time? I never really do that. But I guess that is the way when magic resistance is do or die like this. 16:17 do the gods actually ever give MR cloaks krm26? 16:17 <@malorpower> i mean it didn't kill me too quickly, but I had my stuff destroyed way too often and had to build back up with whatever the next choices were πŸ™‚ 16:17 because I suspect they don't 16:17 honestly mobileuser, ive never seen it, but i have gotten every other cloak 16:17 <@malorpower> and the placement of the blue dragon next to the polymorph trap was perfect of course. 16:17 i just assumed my usual luck, but you may be right, mr may be excluded 16:17 <@loggers_viii> I’ve never seen an MR cloak gift 16:19 in my game, an NPC wizard gave me MR (after he nearly killed me) 16:20 and otherwise I try to get genocide, scare monster and enchant armor 16:20 and then revgeno gray dragons 16:21 (drop everything you don't want cancelled first) 16:21 <@malorpower> I never found genocide either. 16:22 then I hope to find a poly wand 16:22 oh, hackem has that annoying poly nerf 16:22 same as dnh I think 16:22 <@malorpower> what's the poly nerf? 16:23 can't poly blank scrolls 16:23 same as dnh I think? 16:23 but in dnh you never feel the need 16:23 <@malorpower> yes, that's true. But I don't know how that matters too much? I had only a few blank scrolls anyway. 16:24 <@malorpower> But I guess that's just less shots at getting genocide to spawn. 16:24 <@malorpower> I also had 9 magic armors so I could have poly piled those also and maybe spiked magic resistance. 16:24 it just makes polypiling more annoying, no use blessing a large stack of blank scrolls 16:25 oh and of course 50% chance of an MR amulet in soko 16:27 time to do the dishes... 16:27 <@malorpower> yeah, I got the reflection instead. I checked how soko works and went for the amulet, but it was reflection. 16:27 <@malorpower> I guess that's the thing maybe, 50% of games are much easier πŸ™‚ 16:27 <@malorpower> So I could play again, same style and just hope for magic resistance amulet in sokoban. 16:27 <@malorpower> That probably gives me a strong position. 16:30 <@malorpower> I"m not sure I want to grind through ZERO carry cap for so long again πŸ™‚ 16:35 [hdf-us] [evil] mightyquinn (Arc Hum Mal Law) killed Gollum, on T:4914 (0:39:20) 16:35 [hdf-us] [evil] mightyquinn (Arc Hum Mal Law), 2469 points, T:4923, killed by a piranha 16:36 [hdf-us] [evil] hanran24 (Wiz Ith Mal Cha), 173 points, T:820, killed by a bear trap 16:39 [hdf-us] [evil] hanran24 (Wiz Ith Mal Cha), 142 points, T:396, killed by a small mimic 16:41 <@malorpower> ok, I'm in EVIL now officially πŸ™‚ 16:41 <@malorpower> Drow Wizard. 16:41 <@malorpower> Does the Pseudodragon eat? It didn't eat this jackel. 16:42 <@loggers_viii> Yes, pets in evil only eat when they are hungry 16:43 <@malorpower> should I wear "The One Ring"? 16:43 <@malorpower> I assume yes? 16:44 <@loggers_viii> it’s pretty nice but it’s cursed 16:44 invis + wraith detection 16:45 dip it first if you can :-) 16:45 <@loggers_viii> stealth, invis, searching and wraith detection so not super great but decent 16:46 <@malorpower> I'm on Golum's level. How do I get out? 16:46 k2: two gift rustproof +3 daggers from my dumb god do not stack when fully IDd :-( 16:46 stairs lower left corner malorpower 16:46 The one ring is great, as long as you have enough food you could just wear it. 16:46 <@malorpower> I found the portal to the goblin king and then a hole next to the portal and at level one I was in golums lair. I have gained 2 levels killing bats. 16:46 <@malorpower> but I don't see how I live. 16:47 I think cursed ring only need to care about the ring hunger, you could still get into a shop by wearing mummy wrapping i think. 16:47 You just force bolt everyone, then that's it. 16:47 <@malorpower> ok, let's see if my force bolts last then πŸ˜‰ 16:48 [hdf-us] [evil] malor (Wiz Dro Mal Cha), 369 points, T:378, killed by a piranha 16:48 <@malorpower> dead. 16:48 <@malorpower> I forgot about piranha. 16:48 Yes the piranha hit every hard. 16:49 But the wizards could deal with them, you just keep away from the water and force bolt them, don't need to check if there's one. 16:49 Just force bolt one direction and see if it hits :D 16:50 -!- rebatela has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!] 16:51 You could do better next game, usually I remember every time I would check the wiki and to see where the hole may be. 16:51 -!- rebatela has joined #evilhack 16:51 Then usually I may enter golllum's cave maybe after minetown. 16:53 <@malorpower> I didn't realize they would be in the water so I was walking around the shallows and couldn't see them πŸ™‚ 16:53 Yes, you now know and won't be killed next time :) 16:53 <@malorpower> yes. 16:55 <@malorpower> how do you use shopkeeper services? 16:55 <@malorpower> Or is this shk just not offering any? 16:57 I think no such services? 16:57 I only do price identiy and credit clone. 16:58 And there's very complicated sell price considering you and the shk races. 16:58 Well, buy price maybe. 16:58 I can only price id by the price I sell to them. 17:06 no shopkeeper services in evilhack 17:15 <@malorpower> oh. You can't pay to id things? 17:15 <@malorpower> also I can't find the goblin king entrance. Can it be on the same level as the mines? 17:20 [hdf-us] [evil] malor (Wiz Dro Mal Cha), 4163 points, T:5296, quit 17:21 <@malorpower> I could not find the entrance to the goblin king? I walked every single spot in the dungeon on levels 2 and 3. 17:23 <@malorpower> Also since zombies make you terminally ill how do you handle them? I guess "control-moving" all over is NOT the way πŸ™‚ 17:23 <@malorpower> As it does NOT stop until you get attacked rather than when you get sight apparently? 17:23 <@malorpower> So I had to pray to be not-dead 4 times and the fifth killed me. 17:23 [hdf-us] [evil] Snuff (Rog Dro Fem Cha) made her first artifact wish - "blessed rustproof +2 frost brand", on T:27588 (14:37:55) 17:24 <@loggers_viii> as wizard zombies aren’t too threatening, just force bolt 17:25 <@malorpower> but the game wasn't stopped my control-move until they were next to me. So I kept getting hit. 17:25 <@malorpower> Do I have to just one-square move all the time to avoid that? 17:25 <@malorpower> Or is there a setting that says, leave me 3 squares away πŸ™‚ 17:25 <@malorpower> And as a drow I should see them several squares away. 17:25 No. 17:25 Just be careful. 17:26 And if there's zombies, they'll produce some sounds I tihnk. 17:26 [hdf-us] [evil] Snuff (Rog Dro Fem Cha) wished for "blessed +2 dragonhide hawaiian shirt of decay", on T:27589 (14:40:24) 17:26 <@loggers_viii> Idk, I do running all the time and barely get got by zombies, maybe you were unlucky 17:26 <@loggers_viii> and yeah if you don’t want that to happen you have to just manually move 17:27 <@loggers_viii> zombies are so slow, though. even if you get put next to them by travel you can usually step back 17:27 I think I often control move, hardly be ill by zombies. 17:27 Maybe you're just unlucky this game. 17:30 there will be sounds on the level with the goblin king 17:30 You'll often see "You hear a low moaning" indicating this level has some zombies before you encounter a zombie. 17:31 <@malorpower> no, it wasn't luck. And I knew they were around I just assumed I would notice them from distance instead of right next to them. 17:31 <@malorpower> The same group of zombies got me every time. I may not have mentioned that πŸ™‚ 17:31 <@malorpower> I walked levels 2 and 3, at least 3 times and never found the goblin king entrance? 17:31 <@malorpower> So the same group of zombies kept hitting me whenever I would move by. 17:31 <@malorpower> the bad luck was never finding the goblin king. 17:31 here will be sounds on the level with the goblin king :-) 17:31 <@malorpower> But the zombies, that wasn't luck, that was my fault, although I expect the game to come out of speed-mode before I am melee-ing a zombie for the 4th time. 17:32 <@malorpower> I never noticed the sounds of that? I kept checking the backlog. 17:32 <@malorpower> Is it always L2 or L3? 17:32 <@malorpower> L3 was the mines level. 17:32 Right, because they'll revive, usually just force bolt all the zombies, and as long as there still corpses then everytime you come back need to take care. 17:32 then it's level 2 17:33 https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Goblin_Town 17:33 MSGTYPE=stop "You hear the sounds of a bustling town nearby." 17:33 MSGTYPE=stop "You hear what sounds like a goblin war party off in the distance." 17:33 <@malorpower> Watch my playback. I touched every square and even did a ton of digging (which nearly kills me as a drow). 17:33 <@malorpower> So that part was really bad luck as it was just nowhere I could find and I impatiently kept getting zombified πŸ™‚ 17:33 "Goblin Town is accessible via magic portal, which always appears on dungeon level 2 or 3." 17:33 I have these 2 lines, though it is very annoying when I play drow convict. 17:33 and never on the same level as the mines 17:34 <@malorpower> adding those, thanks xdminsy 17:34 malor did you see me dm you my rcfile before? 17:35 <@malorpower> I'll take in your msgtype now. I forgot about that, thanks πŸ™‚ 17:36 <@malorpower> holy sh*t load πŸ™‚ 17:37 Oh well I forget to update it, i'd update it now, i complete my toc now. 17:38 <@malorpower> it's long πŸ™‚ 17:38 I have about 3900 lines rcfile :P 17:38 <@malorpower> i'm going ilithid this time as far-sight didn't seem to help me at all πŸ˜‰ 17:39 Lol great, they are very great races too. 17:40 <@malorpower> hm, the shopkeeper didn't seem to mind that I destroy the metal bars on his shop. 17:41 Lol interesting, i guess he'll still be mad if you take items and escape there. 17:45 [hdf-us] [evil] hanran24 (Wiz Ith Mal Cha), 113 points, T:88, killed by falling down a mine shaft 17:45 <@malorpower> ok, I confirmed that control move will NOT stop you from running into a zombie. 17:47 <@malorpower> no goblin king again? I don't know what is going on. I am out of food and starving now. 17:47 I see, maybe because you play petless, the zombie attack will be less harmful if you wear a helmet. 17:47 I think it should be at level 2? 17:50 Or there may be hidden room left? 17:51 <@malorpower> seriously... 17:51 Heh weird, did you ever see those goblin town message? 17:51 can be at level 2 or 3 17:52 <@malorpower> ok, I finally got the message. L3. 17:52 <@malorpower> that's the first time I've even gotten the message 17:52 Not bad, there're plentiful o-rations if you enter there. 17:52 <@malorpower> this is still really ridic. 17:53 <@malorpower> what the. How did i miss that spot. Ok. 17:56 [hdf-us] [evil] malor (Wiz Ith Mal Cha) killed the Goblin King, on T:3483 (0:17:57) 18:00 You can force bolt the iron ball to enter there, trap door may be contained inside those room. 18:01 <@malorpower> ok 18:01 iron bar lol :P 18:03 <@malorpower> where is it? 18:03 <@malorpower> I thought you meant the iron gates πŸ™‚ 18:03 <@malorpower> i don't see the ball? 18:03 <@malorpower> or bar. 18:03 <@malorpower> I don't know πŸ™‚ 18:03 Yes, i mean iron gates. 18:03 <@malorpower> bah πŸ™‚ 18:03 There's only some fixed spot may be trapdoor. 18:03 <@malorpower> should I destroy the whole row of bars? 18:03 Check the wiki page. 18:04 No. 18:04 I don't remember the spot and check wiki every time :D 18:04 <@malorpower> ok, i see. All right hold on πŸ˜‰ 18:05 Yes it's only 5 possible square. 18:05 Right I think it's at left top. 18:06 <@malorpower> ok, found it. 5th out of the 5 πŸ™‚ 18:06 <@malorpower> ok, on this level I just have to kill everything? 18:06 You can easily kill everything. 18:06 But don't move close to the moat. 18:07 <@malorpower> ok, I see. I read the blurb and looked at the map this time. 18:07 There's a magic key cross moat, maybe you cannot get it now. 18:07 -!- mobileuser has quit [Quit: Client closed] 18:08 <@malorpower> I keep moving next to the water accidentally this time πŸ™‚ 18:08 [hdf-us] [evil] malor (Wiz Ith Mal Cha) killed Gollum, on T:4905 (0:30:15) 18:08 force bolt those moat lol. 18:11 <@malorpower> I think I have handled the piranna. 18:11 I think maybe, and there're 2 jellyfishs too. 18:12 You can spend more force bolt just randomly at moat if unsure. 18:14 <@malorpower> I'm not worried about the jellyfish, they can't 2-hit me, so I can just attack when they do. 18:14 <@malorpower> Where is the magic key? 18:14 Right island, you need to cross the real moat :D 18:15 <@malorpower> oh, so i can't get that right now. got it. 18:15 But you can fly when reach level 12. 18:15 <@malorpower> ok. 18:15 But that time maybe you already got the mines end magic key. 18:16 <@malorpower> see the jellyfish isn't hard πŸ™‚ 18:16 The warg is really hard. 18:16 <@malorpower> yikes, i'm going to die to these guys. 2 wargs being ridden. 18:16 <@malorpower> I didn't realize they were even bad guys since they had a different look to them. 18:17 What' the fail rate of your case fear? 18:17 <@malorpower> zero fail 18:17 <@malorpower> will that work? 18:18 I think it's just like bugle? 18:18 <@malorpower> worked well enough for now. 18:19 You have a scroll of teleportation labeled maybe venzar, but it won't work here. 18:19 <@malorpower> got em! 18:19 Lol yes that's wizard :D. 18:20 Well but casting cause fear really cost mana. 18:20 <@malorpower> right, but it definitely got me out of that pickle. Thanks. 18:21 <@malorpower> this peaceful rock gnome is not in a good spot πŸ™‚ 18:21 Heh right, I think in evilhack you can just abuse alignments as you want, only need to tame some stronger pets to deal with the leader. 18:23 Just rememebr not to talk with the leader after getting the quest artifact. 18:23 <@malorpower> i managed not to kill him. I killed one peaceful I think. 18:23 <@malorpower> wow, down to 5 power. 18:25 You may zap the illithid psychic wave at nymphs I think. 18:25 <@malorpower> force bolt is costing me 3 instead of 1? I thought it always cost 1. 18:25 I think k2 just balanced that :D 18:25 <@malorpower> what the. 18:25 at expert it cost 3. 18:26 <@malorpower> so it costs more at higher skill? 18:26 Yes, 1 at basic. 18:26 <@malorpower> why? 18:26 WHile it deals more damage and better to-hit at higher skill. 18:26 <@malorpower> ok, that's not terrible. 18:26 Maybe because my 10 conducts weaponless wizards just force bolt all the game? 18:27 I'm not sure, force bolt is really strong. 18:27 So k2 give it a balance after june. 18:27 <@malorpower> made sense for when I first started playing. 18:27 <@malorpower> 3 is fine. I just need to recover my power a little before I go into the mines πŸ™‚ 18:28 Yes, maybe you'll need a melee weapon. 18:29 [hdf-us] [evil] malor (Wiz Ith Mal Cha) became literate by engraving "sdf", on T:6311 (0:50:43) 18:32 [hdf-us] [evil] malor (Wiz Ith Mal Cha) hit with a wielded weapon for the first time, on T:6490 (0:53:46) 18:36 -!- Noisytoot has joined #evilhack 18:39 Wow fantasic orc town. 18:39 <@malorpower> is that actually good? 18:40 I think it's definitely great. 18:40 I'm not sure what minion may summon from converting an unaligned altar, I think it's not hard. 18:40 <@malorpower> ok, cool. I have to go to Church now, but I'll continue later. I'm enjoying how fast this plays other than when I get zombified. Hopefully this helm I have reduces that happening πŸ™‚ 18:40 You can always get a coaligned altar here, you can sacrifice for the staff Magicbane and some maybe preenchanted armor. 18:40 <@malorpower> ok, that all sounds good. 18:41 And you can then crown as early as possible to get fod and all resistances. 18:41 Okay bye :D 18:42 <@malorpower> What is β€œfod”? 18:42 finger of death. 18:42 <@malorpower> Ha finger is death 18:42 <@malorpower> Right 18:43 <@malorpower> I do like crowning early so that’s good 18:43 <@malorpower> Plus that makes it harder for me to pray for my sickness to end :). So that’s good πŸ™‚ 18:43 Heh, because eating corpses for resistances are really hard in evilhack. 18:46 <@malorpower> Right. Also with an altar I can uncurse the one ring and use it to draw cards every turn. 18:50 <@malorpower> Is the price of my other attack spells triple also? Or is that only for force bolt? Magic missile is still 10 right? 18:50 Only force bolt. 18:50 K2 want it cost less than 5, but think it's too powerful if it cost 1 forever. 18:51 And only wizard can cast force bolt at such cost. 18:57 <@malorpower> Right ok. It’s still good πŸ™‚ 18:58 <@malorpower> In vanilla and especially dnh I can spam magic missile in the mid game and that costs 10 so it shouldn’t be a problem 18:58 <@malorpower> Knowing that improbably would have stayed at skilled for a few levels though. 19:09 Oh right, that might work, skilled force bolt should suffice for a long time. 19:18 -!- jonadab has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 19:25 -!- jonadab has joined #evilhack 20:34 how to uncurse a cursed saddle wooly mammoth (in rodney's tower) ? 20:34 i'm not riding it anymore, but will it read a scroll? 20:35 (it dropped it, but i had to try) 20:35 If i ride it and cast remove curse that should work? I keep slipping trying to mount tho 20:37 [hdf-us] [evil] Snuff (Rog Dro Fem Cha), 421682 points, T:29262, killed by Yeenoghu 20:38 Oh if you're already rodney, you can throw holy water at it. 20:38 I think you do have some. 20:39 that works? nice i was going to ask as a joke 20:39 i feel like i suggested it once lol 20:40 this thing is kicking ass without me riding it actually... but need to fly. i wish i had finished training riding earlier when i had pet woolies 20:40 (can't pick things up off the ground until basic) 20:40 but in a way it was slowing me down from picking up crap i don't need in the tower... 20:41 i'm at 55% riding lol 20:41 Yes I remember you mentioned it once when my elder pseudodragon saddle got cursed, while I don't have holy waters at that time. 20:41 tower is a weird place to train it, but i think i'm gonna have to 20:41 Well yes that's a bit annoying. 20:41 i'm with two titans who fly obviously and i don't want to leave the wooly behind 20:42 no barding or anything. it will probably die soon 20:42 339 hp tho lol (the woolly!) 20:42 Heh I think so, my pet often die soon. 20:42 [hdf-us] [evil] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) entered the Wizard of Yendor's lair, on T:103457 (1 day, 11:40:58) 20:42 showing any affection for your pet, like with barding, just hastens the stray cockatrice or death magic 20:43 haha rightA? 20:43 so true lol 20:43 the titans are somewhat kitted out though... 20:43 and i have leashes for them if they survive til DL 1... 20:44 lucifer will kill em if you aren't careful, strand them well away before engaging him 20:44 they have unihorns and lizards? 20:45 of course 20:45 they do that on their own eventually... but yeah i never USED to bring them into the sanctum before but you kinda have to now... Then I thought about ditching at the castle and possibly retaming... 20:46 they might still even be tame 20:46 i feel like i might have done that last time actually 20:46 i kept one with my somehow 20:46 just break a wand of teleport on em before engaging lucifer 20:46 then whistle em back 20:47 yeah... i did sometihing like that. might have just left them in that room and locked the door i forget. It's hard to keep pets all the way to astral though lol 20:47 i don't have the patience in the normal dungeon game! never mind end game, but it is fun too 20:48 i used to love having a dragon entourage for the way up (charmed in purgatory) before the cha nerf 20:49 yeah i'm still not sure the details 20:49 max pets cha/3 20:49 i forgot about that... i mean, I had 2 titans and i tamed a woolly no problem.. but once they are tame they behave normally like a pet? 20:49 oh that doesn't sound too bad at all 20:49 just a charm limit...i assume (but have no first hand evidence) it just defaults to pacifying after the limit 20:50 i'm surprised :: insert:: rain went on as long as it did 20:50 mainly effects the woolly rev geno strat 20:50 yeah 20:50 oh ok that's what happened when i did it last time it peaceified.. it's still a powerful as hell spell then 20:50 now if scroll of earth summons 1d8 boulders instead of a fixed number... 20:50 wait does it? 20:50 no 20:51 or you just made that up 20:51 unchanged 20:51 lol 20:51 hence "now if".... 20:51 keep that shit to yourself 20:51 or make your own game lol wtf 20:52 you PLAY all the time. you shouldn't be making rules just sayin 20:52 hah too old and lazy to make any more of my own games 20:52 i mean people did it with black dragons and purple worms long before that 20:52 i guess i do have a recent ascii roguelike but im too lazy to host it 20:53 and he was smart and did the thing with the SD rings to combat the purple worms... sooo we went to dragons... 20:53 now we on woollys 20:53 now finally no more pets? 20:53 what has the astral world come to 20:53 Yes the wooly rain is somewhat not working. 20:53 i love using the woollys in the regular game though 20:53 (or in the wizards tower with two titans!) 20:53 I have struggled some games in astral. 20:54 No woolly rain make the astral much tougher. 20:54 i suppose purple rain is still a strat in vanilla? 20:54 do they get the sd rings? 20:55 I remember when I dont' know the change, summon a lot of wollys and tame, then peaceful ones attack tame ones, make me literarely no pets :P 20:55 yeah but that's new to this version right? 20:55 I think yes. 20:55 purple worms were even better than woollys lol 20:56 Yes vanilla can still do the purple rain. 20:56 but yeah i don't even like doing the kathryn level until i can cast charm relatively well... 20:56 because you're guaranteed like 4 or 5 of those fuckers 20:57 And that's really fun even like two game I have 500 hp and 680 hp in xnh, I still do the purple rain. 20:57 Usually in vanilla 150 hp is enough.. 20:57 sometimes i tame them and clear out the branch and then leave them there and go back and get them later in the game... They used to only generate there, but apparently they are in the wiz tower 20:58 can i really throw the holy water at my woolly or you were joking? 20:58 Yes you can. 20:58 * rebatela is kinda high 20:58 But it may miss. 20:58 can i wield it and F? 20:58 Sometimes need to throw more holy waters. 20:58 [hdf-us] [evil] Snuff (Rog Dro Fem Cha), 1084 points, T:1033, killed by a piranha 20:58 I'm not sure, need to have a test. 20:58 i feel horrible 20:59 nice i threw it and hit :) 20:59 thanks ! 20:59 I want to try the F thing in wizard mode then always miss lol. 20:59 can i bless it the same way or should i take it off him and do it myself? 21:00 oh nice.. 2/2 21:00 I'm not sure, usually I take off and bless it. 21:00 OH well, usually I hardly ride.. 21:00 yeah me neither 21:01 oh man i forgot it was 4th of july. thought that was a gunshot 21:01 As the woolly rain not work so well, mobileuser now carry all helm of opposite alignment to the astral. 21:01 you in the states xdminsy? 21:01 United states? Nope. 21:02 oh ok lots of fireworks here right now. freaked me out for a second. where are youi 21:02 I'm from China :D 21:02 no shit! 21:03 Heh it's cool. 21:03 neat... my girlfriends niece is half chinese. they are coming back from china tonight 21:03 Ah haha great. 21:03 long flight (we are in Boston) 21:04 I see, really long. 21:04 Half the earth. 21:04 right? 21:04 [hdf-us] [evil] tinklebear (Kni Hum Mal Law) destroyed Vlad the Impaler, on T:64174 (2 days, 19:34:00) 21:04 i've never been. But my friend has visited china twice. she had a really good time! 21:05 [hdf-us] [evil] tinklebear (Kni Hum Mal Law) acquired the Candelabrum of Invocation, on T:64175 (2 days, 19:34:31) 21:05 Right here's very great and welcoming place for tourist :D 21:06 Oi. 21:06 Any urgent wiki stuff I need to tend to? 21:06 hi umbire. 21:06 If not I might play a bit tonight 21:07 if there was still the OG mysterious force, i could almost skip the whole things. I have 19 gain level potions 21:07 i probably could have skipped these tower levels? 21:08 Never have done that. 21:08 Well no, have an uneasy feeling. 21:09 Umbire you play evil or still fiq? 21:10 I have a bunch of parked evil games, gave up on the FIQ thing because the early Rodney fiasco pissed me off and other personal stuff sapped my energy for that as well 21:10 I try to play most variants 21:11 [hdf-us] [evil] Snuff (Rog Dro Fem Cha), 401 points, T:1371, killed by a mountain dwarf 21:11 Hah sounds fine. 21:11 I suddenly lose my vigor to play the game after june :(. 21:14 <@malorpower> As a wizard if the lamp is a "magical iron lamp" that means it is a magic lamp, right? 21:14 <@malorpower> And if so and I get a wish, what should I wish for? 21:15 <@malorpower> xdminsy? 21:16 Yes, it's actually magic lamp. 21:16 <@malorpower> nice. 21:16 first wish, i usually do the same thing i do in vanilla and go for speed boots (dragonhide in evil...) 21:16 bless it first whatever you do 21:16 I'm not sure, usually I'll save a magic lamp as a wizard? 21:16 <@malorpower> right, I did that before I confirmed it was a magic lamp πŸ™‚ 21:16 yeah try to hold on to it if you don't need the wish? 21:16 <@malorpower> I have 2 of them, both from orc town. 21:16 the light is good 21:16 oh nice 21:16 Oh right, then use one. 21:17 Yes, because there are many nasties I think the light could help detect them earlier. 21:17 <@malorpower> I learned about light, yes. I was literally buying every lamp I came across πŸ™‚ 21:17 yeah evil orc town is better. does vanilla have the added tools like that or is it just evil? always general store too 21:17 The wizards have MR and if have an altar, the resistances make reflection not so eager. 21:17 <@malorpower> I don't think it does. It definitely doesn't have a store. 21:18 bitch ass rodney has MR. death wand didn't work. he ran to the stairs to heal 21:18 What's the chance he has MR? 1/20? 21:18 <@malorpower> I have an altar, but I also have a very annoying white unicorn that is making doing things really annoying. I'm going to leave here unless I can kill him, which I don't think I can. 21:18 <@malorpower> And then come back later. 21:18 I hardly encounter one with MR. 21:18 [hdf-us] [evil] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) killed the invisible Wizard of Yendor, on T:103685 (1 day, 12:00:29) 21:19 I'm not sure, I think you can kill a unicorn in 3 force bolt like? 21:19 argh. but i killed him over the abyss so i forget the book ends up going to the level of the last boss i killed or something? 21:19 Mabye your AC is not so good. 21:19 this happened last game 21:19 it's way more than 1/20 in evil 21:19 i want to say it's like 50/50 or 1/3 or something 21:19 Unicorns can be got with wall-bounced rays and you should have at least a couple of wands that fit the bill 21:20 <@malorpower> my ac is 7 21:20 i gotta go find this book now though wtf 21:20 Or malor don't you have a gem? 21:20 You can throw a whatever true or false gem at unicorns to pacify them. 21:21 <@malorpower> i do have some gems probably. Oh I thought that banishes the unicorn and I want his horn later πŸ™‚ 21:21 <@malorpower> the bouncing sounds interesting, Umbire always has the answers. 21:21 I see you play petless this game? 21:21 <@malorpower> Plus if I get a wish and get speed boots or something equivilent that will up my chances to beat him in a fight. 21:21 [hdf-us] [evil] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) acquired the Book of the Dead, on T:103718 (1 day, 12:03:31) 21:22 <@malorpower> I wasn't petless my pet was just slowing me down when I was looking for Goblin Town so I left it πŸ™‚ 21:22 Ah yes, and a dragonhide speed boots also provide plentiful AC. 21:22 yeah it was on Demogorgon's (former) level 21:22 <@malorpower> ok, what's the proper wording? 21:23 blessed greased fixed +2 dragonhide speed boots 21:23 blessed +2 greased dragonhide speed boots 21:23 If you want a speed boots. 21:23 yeah that too 21:23 <@malorpower> ok, here's hoping i get a wish. 21:23 Or Dragonbane for reflection like mobileuser do? 21:23 [hdf-us] [evil] malor (Wiz Ith Mal Cha) made his first wish - "blessed greased fixed +2 dragonhide speed boots", on T:9067 (1:23:16) 21:23 <@malorpower> i did πŸ™‚ 21:23 But I tend to usually just farm enough on altar to get Dragonbane. 21:24 <@malorpower> wow, that item was worth 8 AC! 21:24 Oooops, I remember a thing. 21:24 They may usually wish for a pair of bone gauntlets of power as an illithid. 21:25 <@malorpower> killed the uni now also. 21:25 [hdf-us] [evil] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) performed the invocation, on T:103745 (1 day, 12:07:29) 21:26 oh man it sucks, my riding is only at 55% 21:26 Yes, while I think no gauntlets of power is totally okay though. 21:26 <@malorpower> now I'm doing pretty well, -1 AC, speed boots, a unicorn horn. 21:27 Yes that's great. 21:27 <@malorpower> I need more potion fodder. 21:27 Heh rebatela that is slow. 21:27 I tend to just wander upstairs and downstairs a lot.. 21:27 oh to train? 21:28 Yes, i dont' care about turncount, just want basic ride soon. 21:28 right 21:28 Heh yes malor the force bolt may destroy really many potions. 21:28 yeah... it just sucks cuz i killed the wizard lol 21:28 every turn is a turn he can show up... 21:28 (or a turn closer to him SHOWING UP) 21:29 But I find the wizards doing force bolt everything is still better, usually I could grab enough potions. 21:29 I see, then that turns makes difference.. 21:30 <@malorpower> what is up with the monsters. They aren't gang attacking me. They are just wandering around like we all live here. 21:31 I'm not sure, seems if enemies have ranged attack they may tend to keep distant from you. 21:32 You could get Magicbane as first gift, then later maybe something like +5 dark elven tunic or +3 helm of brilliance or maybe +3 dagger. 21:32 I think an coaligned altar is better than any minetown. 21:32 <@malorpower> "magical wooden winged helmet". Is this something? 21:32 <@malorpower> it's cursed fyi. 21:33 <@malorpower> it's working out well so far and the monsters have started coming over to my altar πŸ™‚ 21:33 I think it's just cursed one, maybe opposite alignment? 21:33 I think that magical means it won't be a normal helmet, but maybe other magical ones. 21:34 <@malorpower> ok. 21:35 <@malorpower> that giant refused to engage me and was just throwing arrows at me. 21:35 <@malorpower> hm, or maybe he had a bow. 21:37 <@malorpower> dead 21:37 <@malorpower> sleep ray into many many attacks. 21:37 [hdf-us] [evil] malor (Wiz Ith Mal Cha), 21174 points, T:9707, killed by a stone giant, while moving through the air 21:37 Ooops. 21:37 <@malorpower> how do I avoid that in the future? 21:38 I'm not sure, usually I have -10 AC around this time? 21:38 <@malorpower> how? 21:38 I tend to take pets with me and buy some protection in early game. 21:39 No pets cannot make me test any armor? 21:39 Oh the drow is a good way to prevent sleep ray. 21:39 <@malorpower> yeah, the drow definitely has that going for it πŸ™‚ 21:39 They start with sleep resistances and poison resistances at level 5, I think they are insanely great race. 21:39 <@malorpower> I think I just have to face it. Evilhack is over my head. 21:40 <@malorpower> I flew too close to the sun and my bodies litter the floor now. 21:40 For other races I think the answer is enough AC and get crowned asap. 21:40 <@malorpower> I never deal with pets in other variants. Even as a Bard I play it petless πŸ™‚ 21:41 <@malorpower> that was my goal, but I sacrificed only 3 things before someone came along with a sleep wand. 21:41 A woodland-elf provides only 8% sleep resistances, need to eat 13 corpses. 21:42 malor actually it's hard to keep pets always alive in early game. 21:42 Pets fight zombies and become ill and die.. 21:42 <@malorpower> oh, dang. 21:42 But wizards could keep them very long time I think. 21:43 Usually I could force bolt all the zombies and then my ancient pseudodragon are almost safe. 21:43 malor if you play drow, you can train it to ancient and it can fly, and you see there're warg riders in goblin town often drop saddle. 21:44 Then you can ride ancient pseudodragon to grab the gollum's cave magic key. 21:44 <@malorpower> you make it sound easy. Just waiting around for the dragon was annoying πŸ™‚ 21:45 Lol yes, need a bit patience. 21:45 <@malorpower> although the follow seemed pretty good honestly. That was just my never dealing with pets. 21:45 I think coaligned altars are very rare in evilhack, usually crossaligned one cannot be converted in early game due to minions.. 21:46 [hdf-us] [evil] fubaz (Arc Dwa Mal Law) stole 133 zorkmids worth of merchandise from Annootok's general store, on T:2273 (0:28:39) 21:46 Yes, I'm very used to let pets buc test all my single items. 21:46 <@malorpower> i was looking good other than being dead and all. 21:46 <@malorpower> Does reflection protect you from sleep rays? 21:47 I'm not sure, iirc no? 21:47 <@malorpower> I assume "no" also. 21:47 <@malorpower> sleep ray kills you in most variants, of course. 21:47 <@malorpower> early game. 21:47 Yes, I think it's vanilla behavior. 21:49 -!- rebatela has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 21:49 -!- rebatela has joined #evilhack 21:50 https://ibb.co/30BVwGP 21:50 That's my last game maybe, I tend to buy protection as early as possible. 21:51 Well but it won't work on goblin town. 21:51 <@malorpower> how did you get 16k that fast? 21:52 I think I steal all the 3 shops in minetown and 2 in main dungeon.. 21:52 [hdf-us] [evil] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) killed the invisible orcish high priest of Moloch, on T:103892 (1 day, 12:15:06) 21:53 [hdf-us] [evil] rebatela (Mon Hum Mal Neu) acquired the Amulet of Yendor, on T:103894 (1 day, 12:15:24) 21:53 I'm not sure, maybe because you don't carry pets then you level up too soon. 21:53 <@malorpower> with credit cloning? Or are you killing the shk's at that level? 21:53 Yes credit cloning. 21:54 I tend to do some level controlling especially the gelcubes and those elementals are difficulty 10. 21:55 <@malorpower> what are gelcubes? 21:55 The shopkeepers in evilhack may very like have wand of sleep. 21:55 gelatinous cubes. 21:56 And I think because the evilhack monsters calculate AC like player, maybe not easy to kill them if they have like -10 ac. 21:56 <@malorpower> I figured they would be difficult. 21:56 They can engulf you and suffocate you in 4 turns, and may paralyze you. 21:57 Yes, they would be difficult for melee. 21:57 The wizards just force bolt them to death before getting engulfed :). 21:57 Heh and force bolt can knock them back. 21:59 The problems for other roles may be how could I survive from this or how could I kill someone, the wizards problem is how to get some attack method to kill nymphs and where's my potions? 22:01 you've been ascending? 22:02 I ascended 4 evilhack games at june I think, a bit tired, but all wizards I think. 22:02 I have a parked wizards game some day before but I accidentally broke my vegan conduct and very upset... 22:03 Buried twice my boh in lava too... 22:05 Maybe I could finish that as not doing conducts sometime. 22:05 <@loggers_viii> I stepped into lava a couple times recently but luckily my bohs were fireproof 22:06 -!- tinklebear has joined #evilhack 22:06 <@loggers_viii> the whole boh burning up if you have a non fireproof one is insanely frustrating. I think that happened to me in vanilla once 22:06 That's a bit upset I lost some charging and genocide. 22:07 loggers I freeze the lava and dig down, the potions and other items are still there I could retrive. 22:07 I think maybe only scrolls and something fear fire are burnt. 22:07 I can't believe that the potions are still there :D 22:07 How could they survive lava. 22:08 https://ibb.co/3p8j0PM 22:08 This should be a fancy vegan game but sigh. 22:08 I think of that permadeaf + petless is also doable I think, maybe no atheist. 22:09 <@loggers_viii> wow I thought everything was gone forever, I see 22:09 <@loggers_viii> I think lava in nethack is weirdly non threatening 22:10 Maybe, i don't know much about them. 22:10 I never wear water walking boots in vanilla.. 22:11 <@malorpower> how do I avoid that in the future? 22:11 if it has hands, and is intelligent, then assume it has a wand of death 22:11 and kill it before it has a chance to zap you in the face 22:12 *"has hands, is intelligent, and is _hostile_" 22:13 also, sleep rays are reflected, iirc. although I do my best to avoid testing that thesis 22:14 (also lately I deliberately avoid reflection anyways) 22:14 I think so, in vanilla my strategy is that try to get an early wish before encountering those intelligent monters with difficulty >= 8. 22:14 And buy as many point AC as I can before doing sokoban. 22:15 <@loggers_viii> I just play like it’s not going to happen and then if it does who cares start another run 22:15 heh, loggers_viii 22:16 Only those difficulty >= 8 one could summon with a wand of death with them, then it usually happens after soko entrance in my experience. 22:16 You have a strong heart loggers :D 22:16 I would be upset every time I die :(. 22:18 the point is not that they are likely to *have* a wand of death 22:19 the point is that you get practice thinking about how to *avoid* getting zapped with anything at all 22:19 "the point"... er, "my point" (for what it is worth) 22:20 <@xdminsy> Some of the sleep ray will reflect, but still sleep. 22:20 <@xdminsy> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1204191497331810338/1258245900682268794/image.png?ex=6687584f&is=668606cf&hm=0d4709a10daebda2dcd6029fd1e2e8492b814bd701dd1735cd67532ea797f32c& 22:21 Okay, that's a good habit. 22:22 <@xdminsy> I see that the monsters in evilhack will still zap wands if in melee range. 22:22 <@xdminsy> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1204191497331810338/1258246464207847515/image.png?ex=668758d6&is=66860756&hm=94ee80e30ea46cda8d5e1db76003caa6e45b195cbd5c87f037a73b2c71f7671f& 22:23 how to avoid that? I think apply lance at those one further diagonal range? 22:23 I'm not sure. 22:24 I remember monsters can walk and zap wands at the same turn. 22:24 the "knight's chess move" (L-shaped) application of lance or polearm at skilled is one way, yes 22:25 being much faster than the enemy is another 22:26 stunning them is another 22:26 as Umbire mentioned recently, rays bounce off walls 22:26 monsters don't seem to know this, but *you* do 22:26 compare to FIQ, where monsters very much know this 22:27 so you can shoot around corners, but they will not 22:27 can't say I remember a FIQ monster executing any bank shots, Umbire 22:27 Yes the bouncing ray should be effective. 22:27 but I'll keep an eye out for that in the future 22:28 -!- k3ut0i has joined #evilhack 22:31 [hdf-us] [evil] hanran24 (Wiz Ith Mal Cha), 261 points, T:784, killed by a flint stone 22:31 and yeah, the move-and-zap thing in one move thing that monsters do is a danger, xdminsy 22:32 don't let them get a move! 22:34 [hdf-us] [evil] hanran24 (Wiz Ith Mal Cha), 554 points, T:430, killed by a piranha 22:37 Yes I see. 22:38 fyi, i am unable to view the discordapp.com image.
