So I haven't posted here in a while because I hadn't experienced anything new in a while, but then the following happened: I was running Neo on a deep-dive game and was somewhere round level 40. I found some shuriken and was going to throw them at a mob to test them. I fat-fingered the command and a...

OK, I seem to finding all the weird stuff lately. I just looted "A scroll of whirlwind". Its not in the magic & equipment list and a Google search found nothing on the forums. Any idea what this is?

So if I read this right, none of your previous runs had managed to get a -5 Banded Mail or accumulate 200+ arrows? Correct; I've only ever seen the 200+ arrows and -5 Banded Mail dropped from the skeleton. The +3/+1 katana of troll slaying is definitely from a dead character I played, but one that ...

Good point Nighthawk. I think a good question would be, what secret character were you playing for the last few games prior to that? What rank were you at death? The last few games I had been running Neo and seeing how far down I could take him. So the last several were characters Rogue Geek level,...

I know skeletons are surprisingly strong, but this was bizarre: I was playing Neo, Master Rogue level, 73 HP, AC 4, +2/+0 longsword, wearing Ring of Searching and Ring of Regen, on floor 16. I ensured we were alone, no traps nearby, and I had full hit points and no status effects before I engaged th...

Yea, I just figured it out. I finally had an identify scroll to spare so I ID'd the other one and figured it out. Thanks.

Ha! It just did it again. I had 2 zircon rings. I identified them, both rings of protection, but one is a+3 the other has no bonus listed.

In my current game, I had 2 unidentified kryptonite rings. I used an identify scroll on them and they were identified as rings of increase damage; however, despite being the same material, they have different stats. One is listed as, "a +1 ring of increase damage (kryptonite)", the other i...

Lessons learned from my first successful amulet run: Follow the guidance in this strategy thread; it helps greatly. Horde all potions and scrolls till level 8 or 9. If possible, don't drink or read any till then. If you run out of pack space, drink a few potions but don't read scrolls yet. But make ...

I have a suggestion for the strategy guide (I had to learn this one the hard way): If you drink a potion of Gain Strength while your strength has been reduced by poison, such as a Rattlesnake bite, you will gain +1 to your weakened strength score, not you max strength score. You must first cure the ...
