The annoying thing was realising later I had an amulet of teleportation. I could have swapped it in and tried going elsewhere.
That leaves me only the Ring!
So now I've level 46, done all prides except grushnak.
The question is, do I level up for Grushnak in Orc breeding pits? I've run out of things to do after that. I'm VERY nervous about Grushnak.
Also, I went to the shop and bought a wicked ring. Very happy, even though it cost me 6 levels of saves (from 78 to 72 in physical save). I need another 1000 gold to get them back up again

Anyway, I'm happy with progress to date and am surprised I've made it this far on roguelike.
It has sure taught me tonnes more about the game, even though I thought I knew a lot already.
Oh and btw, I now have about 80% damage increase to physical and 50% physical damage penetration

My biggest learning curve has been that IMHO the best set up for runes/infusions is:
Wild, Wild, Shield, Regen, Teleport/Controlled Phase Door/Movement, depending on circumstance.
I never used to use Wild much, rely instead on saving throws, etc. But they are often the difference between life and death. I have phyiscal/mental on one and mental/magical on the other.
I''id love room for a movement or heroism, but Cursed have so little immunities I need these. Even with 78 Physical Save I'm getting stunned and burned too much.
I think I'll do the orc breeding pits. I like my offhand dagger, but would prefer a warbringers voratun dagger of rage. That's the ultimate combo to my mind.
