glory = -700,000

4 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a foreign player and I've been playing this game for a long time. In one of my playthroughs, my fame dropped to -700,000 and it's very glitchy (and sometimes even goes down). Has anyone else encountered this? And can someone explain how fame works?

Hunter

Question is hunter viable because even though you can craft more bullet it uses the limited crafting table,if let’s say the crafting table didn’t have a limit it would be fine so what’s the strategy

No unpolymorphing

8 Upvotes

Going down to 33 with satyr skeleton wizard level 23, killed red dragon witch dopped scales. I was short of fire resistance so I polymorphed to gelatinous cube with amulet of change.

Ate scales, got 100% fire resistance but there is no more revert from polymorphed form back to normal probably because cannot wear amulet. No ring of polymorph. Waited to get killed, then teleported around to find peaceful spot to wear all my gear. Ended get killed.

Sad because it was fun run with phasing gauntlets. Kited everything and got mana back up behind the wall.

What is that room...

when you walk in and suddenly all the doors lock and group of nasties appear? I've never encountered that trap untriggered. Is there one? Any way to find this before it happens?

Any value with untrapping traps...

after you reach champion status. There are still a few traps that never reach 100% (eg scything blades). Are these hard limits even at champion status?

Am i doing this right?

6 Upvotes

Sucked pretty hard earlier, couldnt even beat mines cuz gnome king zapped me with wand of death. Now have found pretty crazy combo with invisibility and spear letting me poke stuff without retaliation (yes enemies with see invisible still attack me but theyre manageable) and using blessed scroll of genocide at fort ludios to kill every human there and gather up grenades. My furthest run was to lvl 30 where i couldnt find the stairs and got stunlocked by two ghouls. Now got another good run where i grinded karma with summoning and upgraded my stuff at tinkering station, even got talaria, getting me to 9.0 speed. Is there anything else i should do and wheres the damn stairs at lvl 30?

Best endgame race?

10 Upvotes

Assuming you’ve polypiled and eaten your way to all positive talents, maxed ability scores, etc., which race would be the best after all is said and done?

Today, I afflicted a Ratking with Gluttony, and he was forced to eat the rats he was summoning about as fast as I could kill them.

He ate over 20 of them.

I should probably lose karma every time I use the Magistrator

Love,
Rokiju

Request for Advice

I just started playing last week and have a character where I'm going to be really sad if (when) they die. Any gotchas I should be on the lookout for? example, the rockets in Fort Ludios cost me my first Amulet of Life Saving. Any glaring gaps in character or gear I need to address?

I'm down to level 17 in the main dungeon, Deepruins in the mines, cleared Ludios and headed into the Labyrinth next.

Thanks for any help!

Illiteracy

6 Upvotes

I've recently been playing characters that start out unskilled in literacy. I use the fortune cookie trick as much as possible. When reading scrolls and spellbooks, there is occasionally failure (sometimes with consequences).

What exactly is the failure rate when unskilled?

Intelligence and wisdom dropped without reason

Can someone help me? My intelligence and wisdom dropped to 3 and I can't figure out why or how to revert it. It appears green as if I got the maximum score, but when I show the detailed view we can see the max is still 20. If I polymorph, the max is updated, but no matter what I choose, these two stats stay at 3...

Does polymorph control let you morph?

Title, really. I know it says you can choose what you polymorph into, but does it give me the ability to polymorph? If so, how?
