ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Er, my savefile just randomly corrupted itself somehow. I just noticed the teleport power phasing gave, and on immediately after using it, I tried to save, causing the game to crash. Now I am unable to open that savefile. I already posted the char, but I'd like to still be able to access him to play...

Wow. I got lucky. He didn't even cast it once. The blood of life didn't even come into play. I finally got an ultimate win. He just kept walking toward me like an idiot. Occasionally he breathed disintegration, cast a chaos ball, or some such thing, but never BA_MANA. Phew .

Looking at the source code, Melkor would probably instakill me even when I have full health and heroism and even though I've got the greater ration of health and +40% to life armor. Am I just supposed to hope to god he doesn't cast that?

Argh! I can say with confidence that this dungeon town level I'm in has no up staircase. I limited all los obstructions and scoured the entire level. I believe I heard this happened to someone before, and someone suggested it was because there was recaller's shop on the level. There isn't one on thi...

I usually play with unusual rooms on with sorcerors Same, it's fun to level a sorcerer to 25 or so in the wilderness, then do the library quest for a few important utility spells (slow monster is really useful for this), then rob every tome from vaults in the sand lair, and finally wander around th...

My approach (with successful Void divers) has been to cast Genocide whenever I am in sight of any monster. That, combined with Heal, Regeneration, Essence of Speed, and lots of stair scumming usually works. That's basically what I'm doing. Kinda cheesy, but very effective. I don't know how non-sorc...

Did I miss something? I can't seem to enter the Void. Going down the stairs doesn't work.

EDIT:
Oh, I guess I just had to hold the button down for a while. Well, I'm now in the Void. Hopefully I'll survive.

Yeah. Actually the Void and the Nether Realm aren't as deep as I thought. I figured I could just use it until I hit a dungeon town in the Nether Realm (if I did), but big stacks of *healing* and everything else should probably be fine. I might keep it in case I decide to shift around my gear at some...

After steal-scumming a scribe shop for craftsmanship scrolls (Forochel with a pval of 5 is a pretty cool weapon), I accumulated 5 or so artifact creation scrolls. I'll have to test it more in wizard mode, but I don't think the pval is rerolled. All 3 RoS I artifacted kept their pval. Also, rings of ...

I'm preparing for my first dive into the Void (already found the Blood of Life; I love precog :D). I found the Rod Tip of Home Summoning. It's pretty useful, right? Being able to stockpile a bunch of *Healing* , cure critical insanity, and restore mana potions, as well as miscellaneous utilities has...

On a lark I decided to wield Grond with a Sorcerer, and somehow I'm walking around killing mature dragons with it. It gained 5 levels in one kill. This is very weird, as my hitroll is a fairly large negative number (sixtyish).

I went ahead and dumped it at Mount Doom (time to kill Sauron; I just love it when he shows up on the same level ). That's kinda weird how it can be generated normally, but somewhat plausible story-wise, I suppose. I just wasn't expecting it.

'You see a Plain Gold Ring' Umm...I just found the One lying in a greater vault in Angband. I didn't notice it in the list before the level (yay for precog!) the first time, but I checked again, and it was there. ID'ed it, and sure enough: 'The Ring of Power "The One Ring"...You found it l...

Cool! I "found" a craftsmanship scroll.

Darn. It just got autodestroyed. I forgot the c in acquirement. Argh!
