It took me several months to get to that. I wanted to make sure it would be extremely hard for anyone to beat my status, so I kinda overdid it and tripled the score of the previous #1. I did most of this my last semester of college during breaks, as you have already listed above. I blame this fame as being contributed to my partial OCD and my perfectionist attitude. Also, an ex-boyfriend starting me on this game and it was a competition between is and he kept winning. He explained how it took certain skill (in a sexist way). After we broke up, I started playing it SO much over the course of a year and in a six month period, I just kept building up my gold, weapons (the right ones) and here is my trick:
I went up to the highest level to collect the Amulet, then I would descend to floor 2, regain potions and gold wearing a ring of searching, and would go back and forth till I felt I had enough gold and weapons under my belt. I then, continued to the harder levels, and the vampires are really the ones to watch out for bc you can't kill them as easily and they suck your life, and that's what kills ya eventually because the lower your life number, the easier it is for a monster to kill you. Hope any of this helps. It's been a year since I've even looked at the game, so I tried to recollect from memory.
