ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

At what level should you be able to comfortably enter the Farportal?

I was under the impression that if you do Explorable mode, the unlocks will not be unlocked in Normal or Adventure mode. Can somebody please confirm this?

Yep, I did unlock it with a later character. Now that I have poisons, I haven't actually used it even once, despite having a level 29 rogue on adventure mode.

Yeah, same here. This was my fifth or so rogue, before I got it past lvl 20. Do note that unlike my previous rogues, this is an adventurer rogue, and his first death occurred at level 16. I did not die during the Orc Ambush though. Still, Rune of Reflection as well as three healing skills vastly imr...

As a halfling rogue, level 29 now, I just managed to survive against the Orc Ambush. On normal, as I'm new to this game. Mainly due to four different things: Reflection Shield, Regen Rune, Healing light and a Healing trinket. Kept me alive long enough to kill all pesky orcs and then the boss. This i...

Is it seriously only 5?

Died so cant go take them out right now.

First time I went to transfer items, I managed to tarnsfer about 5 of them. After that it kept saying that it didnt succeed, 'try again later'. So I kept on playing, came back, and tried again, and nope, won't transfer. I'd really wish I could place more items in the vault for future other characters.

Frankly I did not find ASCII ugly with the engine. As I started with it, I found it quite nice, as it felt like the games I played so many years ago.

I've now tried the Shockbolt a bit more. And a few things I've noticed. 1) I got used to it, and it's frankly not too bad. :P 2) In ASCII mode, I had no way of telling whether I had explored a dungeon. In Shockbolt, the dungeons have the shimmering effect that help telling whether I've been there or...

How up to date is this guide? Seeing that it's referring to and quite old version number, is it still valid to follow?

I'm quite new to the Rogue.

As a rather old gamer, I used to play roguelike games that used the ASCII tileset. When I started TOME, I immediately switched to ASCII. However, while watching videos I've noticed that people tend to prefer the graphical tileset mode. So tried switching back to the graphical mode. It's quite beatif...

Lol, that easy. Thanks!

Btw, about Earth's Eyes. In early posts you claim it to have Telepathy at level 5. In current version that telepathy is only 5 squares. Sure, in mazelike maps it's very useful, but I wonder, has it been nerfed or changed much since those posts? I've currently left it at 4 points as that gave me the ...

I've not yet found a way to get to the Levelup screen to rearrange talent points, unless I have a free unspent point of one type or another.

Is there any way to get to that screen to rearrange them without waiting for a levelup?

Yeah, I'm aware that my Phase Door rune will become useless soonish. But currently I still use it. I do have that Supercharged Torque of PsyhchoPortation which I'll probably replace it with. Still, not sure if I should spent my Generic Talent points on the current talent trees that I have available.
