ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

In the description of the mighty girdle, it says that it's part of a set of items. What item or items make up the rest of the set?

Angilion95 the dwarven bulwark has just saved the world! No, it's not my 95th attempt. They weren't all called Angilion and not all the Angilions were numbered :) I think it's about my 110th attempt. All right! I haven't been so pleased to win a game for a long time. Maybe not since my first victory...

They're all determined to die, so how did any of them survive long enough to need our help? Maybe on the first level of a zone, where they may have just wandered in and not yet seen any mob they're determined to be killed by, but it's a mystery how they can be anywhere else. So...what is the explana...

Well, I've had enough. The final straw was a rare Drem casting Fearscape in Deep Bellow. A L5 dwarf bulwark has nothing to counter that. I'm bored and frustrated with the early game being purely a matter of how unlucky I am with rares. May as well replace them with random undetectable traps that som...

Aha, found out how!

Which makes it an interesting monster and not an example of the extremely out of level difficulty of Lake Nur 3, thus negating my own thread

We all know that Lake Nur 3 is hugely out of level and surviving it is often just luck. Luminous horror armies seem to be the most common "SURPRISE!" deathtrap for the level (I counted 15 on my last game), but individual over-powered monsters can crop up. Just for fun, what's the worst you...

I had a L42 Radiant Horror in Daikara on this game. I was L20 at the time. I had to check the log just to find out what killed me before I even saw it. I saw it on the next life and managed to teleport out closer to the exit.

On one game, I encountered 9 Luminous Horrors on L3 of Lake Nur. 3 packs of 3. It was a bit silly. I made it with teleporting and being lucky. Rush in, kill one, teleport out, rest, repeat. The luck being in not teleporting from one pack to another.

I've been playing with both ideas and come up with nothing. The only thing I've thought of and not tried is the two halves of the staff plus the staff-enhancing special crystal plus L5 imbuing skills or the cage and the crystal heart and L5 imbuing skills. Also, I found the lost staff belonging to t...

Ah, so that's what I was missing about it. I was sure that when I tried imbue out, only non-magical items appeared in the list of things that could be imbued. Ah, I think I see my mistake. I was checking it with the jeweller in Angolwen and assuming that the player imbue ability had the same restric...

It seems useless to me. It seems to me that it enables you to take a non-magical item and imbue it to make it a magical item that's less powerful than the magical items you'll find as loot.

It can't be that pointless, so I must be missing something.

You know how it goes - kill the master necromancer, loot the staff, get ambushed by an orc army who only knock you out and don't kill you. But I had a Bulwark who was marching along to being a great hero, an army all by herself. A mighty warrior who stands when others would fall! So she stood agains...

Please ignore the previous post. It was a newbie error. I found the stairs down
to the next level tucked away in a corner and the actual dungeon boss a level or
two further down.

I got ToME about a week ago. I would have popped onto here earlier, but I've been too busy playing ToME :D Great game, on a par with ADoM for the best Roguelike I've played but with a nicer interface. I've been dying a lot and restarting, learning a bit each time. My current game was going very well...
