Alchemy gloves should keep things out, not keep things in... I do agree
that they would protect against minor splashing from potions of raw chaos,
though.

wish engine:
It had to happen sooner or later. I finally got a
wish-engine running. While the game will be a cakewalk
from now on I would like to be an archmage. Call me
shallow, but it just seems a bit cool.
The thing is I have been continously wishing for

spellbooks for 7 days in game and 2 days in RL and quite
literally generated tens of thousands of spellbooks. But
no Spellbook of Wish. Quite annoying and before I get more
blisters on my fingers from all that wishing I'd like to
get a bit of overview on what the probability actually is
and if there is something I can do to stimulate it.
----------------------------------
The engine I am running now is a ring engine that builds
on the principle that you can get more blessed PoX out of
19 wishes than it takes (on average) to polypile it back
to 19 wishes again. Very timeconsuming.
Since you can wish for power and otherwise wear the Mana
Orb (+10 Ma), the TotRR (+24 Ma), a pedant (up to +6 Ma)
and two rings of GA (up to +4 Ma on each) you can have a
quite substantial Ma (app. 50) even though your score is
technically 1. Also there are armors of power to add to
the PP score. You can always wish for PoGA to restore the
scores after your wish-fest. Not sure if this is precisely
how it works, but that is how I intend to run it.

You need to have enough PP to cast wish with all stats to 1 except Mana.
You can get high mana stat with potions of boost mana (wish can't drain
that temporary value) and with proper equipment. Good sources of PP are:
mana battery corruption, armours of power, birth starsign, etc. For more
details check rgra archives and edited flags at hall of fame, I've done
that before my archmage victory (which I described briefly in latest
YAVP here).
Good luck,
--
Isn't it true that propability of creating certain item depends of how

many times it was created before? If it's true, I think you can't get
infinite wishes with this technique. I don't know the exact equation for
probability but I've been trying this and got bored after getting ~40
rings, after that I tried many times and haven't succeed in creating
more RoDS.
--
My engine is running with 150 RoDS and between 100 and 500
potions of exchange. The longest dipping sequence was 162
dips to convert 19 rings. It does not seem to decrease or
increase at any noticible frequency and I have spend at
least a thousand wishes so far (mostly on spellbooks,
though I have stats at 99 and all skills at 100). The
longest sequence to convert 6 piles is a little more than
300 dips and it is not the instance above (the next 5 came
very quickly afterwards on that occation).
It is not a 100% failsafe engine. Just very robust. Which

is why I want that spellbook.
--'
That's interesting. With how many !oX have you started with?
Is it possible to get it in another way than from the library? I've been
playing adom for years and never found sb of Wish elsewhere.
--'
I think you cant wish for wishes atleast wands or rings.
--'
Is it possible to poly spellbooks? No reason why it shouldn't be, but I
have never tried it myself.
--'
You get tracts and brittle book out of spellbooks, and vice-versa.
Two dips per spellbook to plymorph to another one.
--'
Might try automating some of it with ADOMBot or such. I made a script to

keep exchanging until I got Djinn anyway, and you can make it more
advanced than that. (Although, scripting in the latest version is fairly
broken Vlad said ;O)

This would be downright painful. It would take a lot more effort than
wishing for the spellbook or simply trying to keep the Djinn Engine
running strong.

Not directly. you can, however, wish for "spellbooks" and get random
spellbooks, each of which has a chance of being Wish.

False. Everything has a set creation probability and it doesn't change.

Okay. When I was looking up the chances for learning spells, I also
found the data for the creation probability of each individual book.
Wish is _extremely_ rare, as is expected - though I know someone who
actually started with a spellbook of Wish once
(HOPEFULLY this list displays correctly)
The List:
Spellbook Chan Diff Prob
Wish 1 3000 0.03%
Create Item 4 250 0.13%
Petrification 4 120 0.13%
Greater Identify 4 100 0.13%
Earthquake 4 80 0.13%
Identify 4 75 0.13%
Heal 4 40 0.13%
Death Ray 20 100 0.65%
Mystic Shovel 20 100 0.65%
Summon Monsters 20 30 0.65%
Improved Fireball 20 30 0.65%
Cure Critical Wound 20 15 0.65%
Cure Serious Wounds 20 10 0.65%
Destroy Undead 20 8 0.65%
Remove Curse 40 50 1.31%
Magic Map 40 40 1.31%
Acid Ball 40 35 1.31%
Revalation 40 33 1.31%
Lightning Ball 40 30 1.31%
Ice Ball 40 25 1.31%
Fireball 40 20 1.31%
Farsight 40 17 1.31%
Acid Bolt 40 15 1.31%
Scare Monster 40 12 1.31%
Disarm Trap 40 10 1.31%
Neutralize Poison 40 10 1.31%
Know Alignment 40 10 1.31%
Bless 40 8 1.31%
Cure Disease 40 8 1.31%
Teleportation 100 22 3.26%
Strength of Atlas 100 15 3.26%
Lightning Bolt 100 12 3.26%
Frost Bolt 100 12 3.26%
Web 100 12 3.26%
Invisibility 100 10 3.26%
Fire Bolt 100 10 3.26%
Calm Monster 100 8 3.26%
Magic Lock 100 8 3.26%
Stun Ray 100 8 3.26%
Burning Hands 100 8 3.26%
Slow Poison 100 6 3.26%
Cure Light Wounds 100 5 3.26%
Knock 200 12 6.53%
Slow Monster 200 7 6.53%
Darkness 300 4 9.79%
Light 300 3 9.79%
Prob shows the overall chances of getting that spell whenever a

spellbook is generated (except for special cases like the library, of
course). Diff(iculty) shows the value that is factored in when trying to
learn the spell.
So... you'll have to generate 3065 spellbooks, on average, to get only

one spellbook of Wish. This translates into ~1022 Wishes, on average.
So, it _will_ take a while ;O

Well, once I found one, in very early game.

It was probably in 1.0.0.
Never found one in later gammas...

Is this the same for Wizard-type casters vs. Priest-style? I played a

Priest who got many of the non-offensive spells (Revelation,
Earthquake, Cure [x] Wounds, etc.) while not getting a single ball
spell (even the rift doesn't carry ball spells for Priests). I also
got 6-8 books of Dispel Undead, which are apparently rarer than ball
spells.
I know that it's a random generation of books, so it could be just poor

luck, but priest-style casters seem to get more healing/non-offensive
spells, while wizard-style casters get more of the offensive magics,
from what I've experienced

It would make sense, but I haven't seen anything like that in the code
at all - this doesn't mean it's not there though, it might be hiding

Playing 1.0 == no bots for me. However I can send a
character sequence to the xterm (eg. !v=bb[Enter], to dip
the second ring stack (the used rings) in the second
potion stack and pick them up by a simple key press. Still
a lot of tapping and concentration - you have to watch
every dip. Also I have for wishing for spells and
exchange. I had been working for ten straight hours before
I figured it out. Sometimes you just need to sleep .
Got the materials to start it (about 15 wishes and 15 PoX

as well as plenty of water, scrolls of repair and
redundant rings) by bansheeing ABDs in the BDC. This seems
to be a near guaranteed way of getting it though it does
require a firm tongue in the cheek as well as patience. It
was started a bit on the lower margin of the starting
requirements, but it wasn't something I definately had
decided to do beforehand. Nevertheless I wanted to give it
a shot and made it run.

Indeed. The bigger the engine the better it works. Most of
all as the blessing overhead for water and PoX is lower.

Precisely. However this is the most painful ADOM
experience ever. Jeez it's boring. I think I'll give it a
rest and fetch the remaining trinkets here and there.

Not my impression either. But occationally you'll need a
huge amount for one polymorph. My record is 162 dips for
one stack. Yikes. You simply need to be confident.

I am past that by a margin (I think I have rounded 2000
wishes), but it is a chance event after all. It ought to
come around sooner or later. Just need to get some
confidence and reassurance back. Also neat to know I can
stay on D8 and do the wishing.
I am playing a Sword Dark Elven Farmer (a powerful

combination once it gets started) and was able to read
Create Item several times. In fact I have not failed once
in reading now that my learning is 99 and I get
astronomical numbers of casting so I just destroy the
spellbooks. I think (big emphasis on think here) that I
might actually read the damn Wish book in a special effect
room once I get it *sigh*. I am also thinking why risk it
when ~300 blessed potions of wonder ought to solve it.
We'll see.
To Vlad:
My compliments on the creation of the ItemDex probability
calculator, however I would also like to see a polypile
probability. E.g. what is the chance of getting a fat
stack of writing kits out of a stack of keys and so forth.
And AoLS which you could (at risk and danger) use the
ancient scythe to generate. So how many potions of raw
chaos do you actually need to generate one AoLS on D2.
Apparently you can never get artifacts from
polypiling/chaos roulette so these need to be excluded.

This also depends if you're using exchange or raw chaos. There are
several fundamental differances. Raw chaos can only create one item,
while exchange works like normal dipping (19 rings, 9 scrolls, etc.).
When using exchange you'll never create the same thing you already had,
and that's where, of course, the improved chances come into play. With
Raw Chaos, you still can't create what you already have -- except that
with raw chaos, if you would have created what you already have, it
instead explodes. (So with raw chaos, it's actually better to start with
rare items as the base - at least, this is what I've infered from the
code, and it seems correct.)
I never thought to investigate writing sets, but I did run the numbers
for lifesaving and SLB. You have a 1.08% chance (about 93 tries on
average) to pull a AoLS on D:2. Not good odds; you'll explode it about 6
times before you get the amulet. SLB odds are a bit better: 3.25% chance
on D:3. You'll probably only explode 3-4 times before you pull a pair of
those, hehe.
Because Raw Chaos' explosion chances are higher for common items, it
might be best to use multiple items to start with instead of just
re-using whatever it turns into. This will d3ecrease the explosions a
fair bit, especially for SLB (Don't use Light or Leather Boots).
In general, the odds are pretty poor at best. Exchange will give you
both higher odds (goes up to over 5% for SLB when using light or leather
boots) and less danger, but can't be mass produced. If Vlad added this
info, he'd still need 2 seperate percentages; one for raw chaos and one
for exchange. It probably wouldn't be too particularily difficult to
implement, it would just give the odds based on the total for each item
group - artifacts, essentially (and exchange would subtract the selected
item's probability as well). Not something that many people would get a
lot of use out of, though
(I'll need to rin some more in-game tests to verify that raw chaos'
explosion chance is, in fact, the creation probabilty of whatever is
dipped. It seems to flow with the inconsisent percentages between
different items I had been getting before I saw that in the code, though.)
Looks like Vlad's Re-wrapper is working out well for you. 60 lines might
be a bit overkill but it works, at any rate =) I've been using the
re-wrap option in thunderbird in my messages every time now, so
hopefully they're displaying correctly for Wanderer

Hmm, I found something else which could possibly affect this. There
appears to be a check against Piety of all things. It compares the
item's value to your piety, and potentially changes the spellbook you
get if the piety isn't high enough. To clarify, this is ONLY when
*wishing* for the spellbooks. I'm not sure of the specifics (mainly I
don't want to try to decipher it since it's not very important for most
players... but, feel free Vlad, if you want to - it's at 004BFFD0
Although... I just did a brief in game test, and even with really low
piety I was able to get pretty valuable spellbooks. Maybe it _only_
affects Wish or something? I'd imagine your piety is pretty high anyway,
but if it isn't then get to 'very close' or whatever, at least.
Hmm, I also just noticed that rewrap changes the normal 2 spaces after a
sentance into 1 ;/

I've only just recently started using Pickpocketing with any measure of
regularity. (Been playing since 1999 or so, got my first victory about
a year and half later, won twice since then - no U*Es yet, thus trying
new things like getting skills from Yergius.) So far, I've only had
two characters that both trained Pickpocketing up and reached the top
of the pyramid.
Both of them have pickpocketed Preserver while they're up there: one

from a jackal demon, one from a hill orc sergeant. I *know* this must
just be one of those odd coincidences, but I guess I've never thought
about it - is the danger level or item generation in Rehetep's room
somehow out of whack?

A peculiar coincidence I am sure. Regardless the danger level of most

artifacts are very low. DL 1 or 2. It is not unheard of to have
scorched spear drop from a wilderness encounter on DL 1 (happened to me
twice). They just have a very low generation seed. Meaning basic luck.
In fact higher DL means lower probability of artifact generation. The
best chance is in a location with a DL exactly matching the minimum DL
for generation of the item in question. AoLS and 7LB also have a low DL
requirement (DL 2 IIRC) and RoDS is "only" DL 8.

The danger level of the Pyramid is supposed to be 12 on level 1, 15 on

2, and 18 up top.
AoLS is Danger Level 2 with a creation probability of 50.

SLB are DL3 with CP 200.
Preserver is DL5 with CP 25. (Most artifacts are 25, though at least 1
was 50 IIRC.)
Interestingly stethescopes are also only CP 25.
First post with this individual.net deal, and it better be formatted

right! ;)

Could you translate what that means in terms of percentage?

Awesome Power!

End of messages
©2008 Google
as discussed recently, I have sent an e-mail to Thomas to discuss

various issues important to the ADOM community. Since e-mail is not the
most efficient mode of communication for this purpose, I suggested
discussing the matters over the phone, to which Thomas agreed. The
conversation circled around three main topics:
1. The Future of ADOM

2. The Bug Database
3. Reverse Engineering
I will now provide a topic by topic summary.

1. The Future of ADOM
The good news first: ADOM is not dead!
At the moment, Thomas has only very limited time, but a new release is
definitely planned. Rumours that no new features will be added to ADOM
are unfounded, although the next version will likely only have minor
additions and mostly focus on fixing bugs. Thomas is reluctant to
announce anything definite because in the past it has turned out to be
nearly impossible to predict such things, but a new release should
likely emerge around this summer.
To dispel some other rumours, this new release will *not* be a final
release of ADOM. Thomas told me that even now, after two years without
an update, there are about 10000-15000 downloads per month on
www.adom.de, and this is sufficient reason to continue working on the
game. However, in the future Thomas would like to devote more of his
development time to JADE -- JADE development is fun, while ADOM
development is hard work due to the way the source code has developed
into a writhing mass of programming chaos over time.
Therefore, it is likely that after the next release, there will be a

change in procedure. In order to allow Thomas to focus on JADE, he plans
to change the development model of ADOM. Instead of the current one-man
system, he would like to turn into an effort by a small, closed group (a
kind of DevTeam, if you will) of maybe 4-5 people under his supervision.
Thomas will make all decisions regarding which features will or will not
be added to ADOM, but actual implementation, bug fixes and the like will
be delegated. ADOM will *not* go Open Source -- more regarding this
under the third topic.
With ADOM moving to a group development model, changes are also planned
for www.adom.de. Ideas include adding a Wiki, overhauling the bug
tracking system and turning the "Ancient Scroll of Mystery" into a real
blog with comment features. An often requested feature which is *not*
planned is a forum -- Thomas prefers good old newsgroups [and if a
personal comment is allowed here, I agree :-)]. However, all this
requires work that would detract from actual development, so it is not
clear if, when and how all this can be turned into practice. Do not hold
your breath.
2. The Bug Database
Again, the good news first: You can help with the bug database!
I have brought the discussions we had about the bug database to Thomas'
attention. I also mentioned that some people are no longer willing to
add bugs to the database because they do not think it is any useful. In
other words, something should be done.
I have recommended closing the bug and RFE databases for new submissions
for the near future, and to gather resources for consolidating the bug
list. Thomas has basically agreed to this procedure. Some time soon, he
will send me a text version of the bug and RFE databases. He asked me to
select some trustworthy people to go through the database and bring the
wealth of information into some useful shape. At this time, the best
process for this has not been decided, although some ideas have been
discussed. In any case, this is something to worry about once we get
rolling.
So, if you consider yourself trustworthy, go ahead and volunteer right

now! Both newsgroup postings and e-mails are fine. Please understand
that it might be the case that not everybody will be able to contribute
because we must strike a balance between the bug-weeding effort for
everybody involved and the communication effort. Once most of the
weeding out has been done, there will certainly be a public phase when
everybody can contribute, but for the bulk of the work, it is better not
to get bogged down in lengthy group discussions.
While the database is being consolidated, the submission features at

www.adom.de will be disabled so that we are not aiming at a moving target.
3. Reverse Engineering
Regarding this topic, Thomas stated his opinion very clearly: He does
not want people to disassemble ADOM for any purpose. He had already
planned to revised the ADOM license so that his opinion on this issue
will become very clear to everybody. He also briefly discussed the legal
aspects of this, mentioning the effort involved in international
lawsuits. So much for the summary, now for some details.
Most significantly, Thomas expressed his contempt for patches that

change the rules of the game. Patches that fix bugs might be acceptable,
but the line must be drawn very clearly. Of the existing patches, only
the one that fixes the ingot crash bug can be considered a bug fix. He
is considering making it publicly available on the ADOM web site before
the problem can be properly fixed with the new ADOM relase and asks
Vladimir to send it to him.
In addition to patches, he does not like programs that can be used for
cheating, and he has already implemented new countermeasures into ADOM
to detect if the state of the game has been tampered with. He said that
even though all protection can be cracked, it will take the cracker more
time to circumvent the protective measures than it took him to implement
them, and he hopes that they will eventually tire of such efforts.
Finally, Thomas is also very much against disassembling the executable

to discover game mechanics and secrets. He referred to the section in
readme.1st where it is stated that the good effect of ADOM staying
closed source is "that ADOM will remain the most challenging and
mysterious of all roguelike games, simply because you just can't take a
look into the sources and find all the secrets right away once a new
version is released".
That's it. I could comment on some of the issues, but want to keep the
summary and personal opinion separate, so I'll contribute to the
discussion later.

Yes. For every item, there's a "Special" field. Its contents depends on
the item type. It's used for the spell number in case for spellbooks,
fuel left for torches, the monster index for corpses etc.
Spells also have weight (aka creation probability) like items, and are
chosen by a similar algorythm (but without the danger level stuff).

Yes, after more code excavation, I've finally found the code responsible
for greater spellbook generation for spell-casters:
Wizards, priests, druids, necromancers: 20000

Paladins: 5000
Everybody else: 2000

Is there a rubric on how effectively manipulate your environment to

fit the danger level and creation probability?
I remember vaguely someone trying to pharm RoDs in the gremlin cave by

raising the danger level and pickpocketing.

Only scrolls of danger/peace, afaik, can modify the danger level of the
current level. Look up the modifiers in the corresponding section of The
GuideBook.

Savage Pumpkin's Guide to achieving Grand Mastery of Melee weapons in

ADoM.
v1. July 1997.
Why is this extremely spoily? Several suggestions make the Steel Golems
too
easy. I didn't think of it till I noticed I went from level 4 to level 6
in swords fighting a single beastie. Also it kind of automates achieving
a normally improbable goal. Many minor, albeit blatant, spoilers.
List of other Extremely spoily stuff
1. Secret of the UnHoly Water (v3)
2. How to fight multiple Named Nasties in the Arena (v2)
3. Secret locations of the Dark Glade & The Water Cave (v2)
4. How to achieve Grand Mastery in melee weapons (v1) (very long)
- 5-8 Are in-progress. Updating for possible changes in 0.995 -
5. Unusual Items and commentary (v1)
6. Artifact Weapons List and commentary (v2)
7. Artifact Armour Bits List and commentary (v2)
8. Artifact Miscellany List and commentary (v2)
Please note that more than 1/3 of the total marks required to achieve
Grand Mastery are actually required to go from the highest level of
mastery (14) to Grand Mastery (15). If you merely wish to become
super-proficient (11-13) in a couple of weapon types, this can be
achieved probably easier than Grand Mastery in one, and these methods
can still help you.
First, an education on marks. No, I don't have it all worked out yet, but
here is what I know.
- The total number of marks required (unless born in Sword or Dragon)
is 33800, starting from completely unskilled.
- A good hit is worth more than a regular one. Find Weakness speeds the
whole shebang up. A good hit is signified by hitting your opponent
"with full force". I do not think there are presently multiple
levels of critical hits.
- The more experienced you are, the less marks you get per hit. If you
could go toe-to-toe with a Steel Golem at level 1, you'd be getting
6 marks for a normal hit. You would also die very quickly.
- If you are getting more than 5 marks per hit, you may wish to try
another critter. Chances are you can get seriously hurt by something
yielding such marks.
- No bonus marks for normally hitting a non-experienced jackal once you
are at level 50.
- Marks are not (yet) related to damage inflicted. Inflicting no damage
yields the same number of marks as smearing it from here to way over
there.
With that in mind, there are several strategies. Well, there are *many*
strategies, but mine are better.
- Note that these are designed for weapon-based combat.
- Unarmed combat is different, since you cannot rust your hand unless
you are a metal golem. You cannot yet play as a metal golem, however.
You can break your hand, but not in ADoM. Things that lower your
strength
(damage, to-hit) help, as does being burdened if you are playing a
Monk.
- Missile combat is a bit harder, too. Broken rocks are called dust.
Broken bows/ammo may not work. (I would assume both would fail.)
Rusty crossbows and quarrels are possible, for some unknown reason.
Rusty metal arrows may be possible, and rusty metal sling bullets,
too.
Thrown rusty/broken weapons should have modified damage, too. Best
just
to shoot lots of medium-high targets. Try to find a dark elven wizard
in
the garden. You'll get lots of targets. More than you care to handle.
- Do not be burdened. You wish to maximize your speed and avoid getting
several rounds of hits for every round you hit.
- Do not be Satiated or Bloated. Not only will these conditions slow
you,
they also drop your DV several points.
- Do not use the gremlin cave. The high density of monsters may be
tempting, but food consumption seems to be fairly (abnormally) high.
You will most likely starve yourself before you can exit. They also
provide poor marks, which is to be avoided.
- If you have found the si, keep it with you. Try blessing a few.
Nothing like building up altar fodder as a freebie. Keep an eye
on your status bar. You might end up "Strained!" if your si get
too frisky.
- Have the skill "Courage". When other monsters appear and run up,
this will help train that skill as yet another freebie.
- Have the skill "Tactics". Fighting in general seems to train this
skill, or maybe just using a non-normal "tactic". You will be using
defensive, so this is good in any case. More freebies. Gotta love it.
- Have the skill "Find Weakness". If you are doing no damage even with
"full force" hits, this will help get you more "full force" hits, and
it will be trained in the process. Will the freebies never cease??
- If you are sure your fencing dummies cannot hurt you, switch required
"more" key, and just hold down the numeric direction. You might even
be able to tape down a top row number key and come back in a half
hour,
depending on your kb's repeat rate. (This last bit is somewhat iffy
gameplay though. >=>)
Getting the right tool(s) for the job.
- If you are a really wimpy character, get a good shield and stick with
one weapon. Eternium Tower shields are good. Try to switch to two
weapons as soon as possible.
- Use the smallest weapon of the class. The skill "Two Weapon Combat"
will, at most, add only +5 to your to-hit probabilities. Using two
broadswords even with TWC at 100 will more than negate such bonuses.
Scalpels, Hand Axes, Short Swords, etc. One exception. Do not use a
hatchet if you intend to chop trees or build bridges. Although
comparable to a hand axe, these are *MUCH* rarer.
- Rings of slaying with damage *penalties* are REALLY good here.
- Gloves of smiting with damage *penalties* are REALLY good here.
- If you can hit the monster for damage, you might wish to be able to
heal it. This has a side effect of making you lawful, I think.
- Find a weapon that wouldn't hurt something if you were wearing
rings of slaying, were born in the month of Sword, had tactics at
100 and set to berserker, and just cast Strength of Atlas.
- Find another weapon just like it. Two hits per turn are better than
one. Two weapon combat skill might be useful at low skill levels,
but don't go out of your way to train/acquire it.
- Bless it if water (holy) is no object (ie, plentiful).
- Make such a weapon. Usually this must be a metal weapon to be most
effective. Weapons that are Broken & Rusty have their damage
quartered. This is good because it means your extreme bonuses due to
Tactics, Strength, Find Weakness, and Skill will not kill or damage
the beasties (until you switch to the good weapons of the same
class).
- I suspect cursed scrolls of repair and increase melee damage can
help lots here, but I usually just rust up a few normal weapons
and go beat on something hard like a Steel Golem.
- Rusty weapons break easily. Go beat on a Steel Golem till it does,
then
"Run Away! Run Away!".
- Drop everything else and active a water trap a while. It should
rust.
(I am not sure if eternium weapons rust. Their base damage is very
high anyway -- a poor choice for this task)
- select a weapon that is good at critical hits, and totally wreck
it.
Critical hits that do no damage get more marks than regular hits
that
do no damage (bloody daggers come to mind). Unfortunately, these
are
so nice you might not want to wreck them. Do it anyway. It'll be
worth it later when you can seriously work over people.
- remember, you can always pay whatshisname in the dwarven city to
fix/unrust your weapons.
- Once they are fixed and you are a grand master, dip em in potions
of
oil. preferably blessed, since it seems to have a higher chance of
working. (this is also good to do with scrolls you do not want to
get drenched by accident) This will rustproof or waterproof the
item
in question. (yeah, so that's what oil is used for.. =>) I have no
idea how this would interact with poison.
Finding your victim(s) and patsies.
- Ideally you wish to beat on something that can't beat on you and
gives
a lot of marks per hit. This is something of a paradox. Failing this,
you want something that cannot beat you up too badly. Things that
affect stats, destroy equipment, etc, should be avoided, except one.
- Only use Defensive setting. You should have your skill high enough
to use this setting without suffering much to-hit penalty. Tactics
helps. I would suggest even using Cowardly, but you get no marks
when you fight more defensively than Defensive. Another Bonus to
achieving Grand Mastery. You can switch to and leave your character
in "Cowardly". One cannot improve upon Grand Mastery, so there is
no penalty. Even with a normal character without tactics modifiers,
the to-hit & damage bonuses of Grand Mastery more than compensates
for using Cowardly tactics setting.
- You want to hit as much as possible, without gaining experience.
(ie, killing them)
- Find something that doesn't hit back. Greater Mimics are useful.
- Find something that doesn't move. Greater Mimics are useful.
- Fight critters in dead-end passages so they cannot run away. They get
spooked when they can't kill you quick-like. Except Steel Golems.
They
just get annoyed and melt your equipment.
- Fight monsters you can instantly kill with arrows/bolts of slaying or
weapons (artifacts) of slaying, or by some special means.
- The Named Nasties in the Arena are fairly good sources of marks,
especially Ripclaw. This troll is one tough mother though. So be
careful if you use em. (see also guide to fighting multiple named
nasties in the arena.)
A special case (Greater Mimics)
- Mimics, in general, are excellent patsies. They do not fight back
or move. The tougher the mimic, the better. I think greater mimics
are the toughest, maybe master mimics, dunno. The only downside is
that they do not give high marks. Greater Mimics seem to be the
toughest, and the rest of the case applies to them specifically, but
may be applicable to the weaker ones as well.
- As of 0.995, they don't move or attack after initial attacks.
- Hard to damage, but I recommend using a "good" weapon to mitigate any
skill-based bonuses anyway.
- look for them in the casino shop and the shop in the remote mountain
village.
- if you find one in a shop, pick something up after a weak, hostile,
monster is nearby. Having two critters around should train your
courage
as a free bonus. (mimic & weakling) Consider using a "*** of create
monster" to get such a weak monster.
- Again, although mimics, in general, are helpful in this pursuit,
Greater
Mimics are hard enough to damage that a "good" weapon will server your
true goal of not killing the beast, but rather, achieving Grand
Mastery.
If you wound it anyway, read a non-disappearing scroll a lot to help
train literacy, while it heals. Or heal it yourself.
A special case (Griff Bloodaxe, The Undead Dwarven Chaos Berserker)
- You need to go and talk to the ancient dwarf in the dwarven city
to be able to enter the dwarven graveyard. Ask him about the portal.
The Dwarven Graveyard is close to the swampy area south of the two
villages.
- I have not used him yet, but he is kinda butch and should give better
marks than a Mimic. There is also something singularly useful about
him (see below).
- Amulet of protection from undead is good to have.
- Similar equipment to the Steel Golem case, excepting construct slaying
missiles, fire resistance/immunity.
- After you kill the rest off the critters, ignoring Griff, position
yourself on his grave (the only one there), because...
- Griff's instant death with full experience reward can be achieved by
purifying his grave, which is done by pouring holy water on it,
which is done by 'U' using holy water while standing on it.
- Blessed weapons may do additional damage anyway, so you might not want
to use blessed weapons in this case.
- Unfortunately, the dwarven city is at least level 10 in the CoC. Going
to level 10 in CoC or Infinite dungeon will start your corruption ball
rolling.
- You will have to fight through many undead. Few (if any) are ghosts.
Nonnak can summon more undead, so deal with him as quickly as
possible.
A special case (Steel Golems)
- These are my favorites, even though they have the most equipment
requirements, and are very dangerous till you have high DV/PV.
- Do not use them if you are cursed or doomed unless you have much
regeneration, fire resistance/immunity, and rings of ice. Note that
the crown of science does provide Fire Immunity.
- Do not use them if they can destroy your equipment. Fire blasts eat
wood, metal, crystal, paper, food, you, etc.
- Assuming they cannot destroy your equipment, bless as much of it as
you can. Uncurse the rest. If your equipment list looks like a candy
cane or a stop sign, "Run Away! Run Away!"
- Stop using them once you only get one mark for a normal hit. Kill em
instead.
- Steel Golems provide good marks to even midrange characters.
eg. Level 20 high elf archer, St 29, Dx 25, Swords 14. Gets 6-8 marks
per round. (two swords, 3 for normal hit, 4 for good hit) Level 1
troll paladin gets 6-7 marks per round, but dies. (two-handed club)
- Steel Golems are exceptionally hard to damage even with good weapons.
"Good" weapons don't phase em in the slightest.
- Steel Golems can be hindered further by amulets of protection from
constructs. Again, blessed probably helps, though I don't see how,
or have any proof that it does.
If you find one of these, or can wish for one, get it and party. It
doesn't make you immune to them, but if you have the fire resistance/
immunity & rings of ice, they turn into great big bags of marks &
experience. As an added bonus, once you're done with all of of them,
you can usually go find a few artifacts in the vaults. - Beware of
advancing too much to do the pyramid. Beware of advancing so much you
need to fight Ripclaw in order to gain good marks/round (turn).
- Construct slaying missiles can hurt/kill them if you need to get
away.
- Webs work rather well on them.
- Rings of Ice. Blessed. Two. Fireproof Blankets. Blessed. As many as
you
find. Keep your equipment from getting trashed. Drop everything you
will
not need in combat.
- Blessed potions of extra/ultra healing highly recommended.
- Did you do the portal quest yet?
If you don't get greedy and go for the sword, you seem to get more
potions of extra healing. Pre-blessed. Wahoo!
(I have had as many as 9, usually 8, as compared with 5 or 6 when
I took the sword. It might just be that my current characters are
lawful and the others were neutral. Go back and get the sword
later
if you really must have the willpower bonus. It might be that if
you purify the grave you get more. Purifying the grave will
instantly destroy the big purple thing that hits you a lot too.
You get the same experience either way.)
- Jarhead the Healer is said to give you some when you continue to
show
mercy after learning healing. (extra-healing, not sure if blessed,
never "showed mercy" other than leading Yriggs to him.)
- Fire resistance is good to have, too. Several Levels. Fire immunity
is
better, though.
- Wear much regeneration equipment. buy all the scrolls of defense &
protection you find and bless them and work your equipment up really
high. Try to avoid increasing your body armour though. It can get
damaged and destroyed if it isn't an artifact. If it is an artifact,
the scrolls won't work anyway. Actually, just bracers & crown should
be
more than enough, depending on how difficult you are to hit, amulet
of
protection from constructs, etc. If you have the healing potions
mentioned above, you can get by with one level of regeneration.
- Even though you should be regenerating 1+ hp per turn, this is an
ideal
time to "train" your first aid skill.
- if you have the healing skill, this will train it a lot, too.
- Humanoid slaying might work on them, or it might only have been luck.
An artifact sword with this intrinsic made quick work of them in an
older version. If you spend all that money on the quarrels/arrows
and it doesn't help at all, save em for later.
- The Perion's Mithril Plate Mail is singularly useful here. It will
not be damaged when they inevitably "punch through your armour and
critically hit you". Actually, this may be the only use to even lug
this thing around. The only other place with lots of punching through
armour is a place that generates a lot of eternium gear.
*my experiences*
0.995 - Found a Greater Mimic in a hall. Spent several thousand rounds
beating it. Was at level 9 (nearly 10) before I started. Got to
level 13, nearly 14. Decided it was taking too long and went to
find rings of ice, amulets of protection from constructs, etc.
Also I only had one "good" sword at the time, so I made a few
spares by jumping in some water. ~2000 turns later, Grand Mastery.
Much Freebie skill advancement, too. =>
0.994 - in defeating the steel golems guarding the top level, the first
passage, and the crown of science (the room only, not the
corridor),
I went from skill 4 to skill 12. I used a mithril broadsword and
Justifier, tactics ~40, no T.W.C., level 16 high elf archer with
perion, ankh, and some decent stuff.. pv ~30 till my cloak burned,
dv ~34 at start, increased to 39 I think after. dex 27. I didn't
even have most of the recommended equipment. Be prepared, and
they'll
prove the best friend you had in the chain. It is best to lure
them
up one at a time, or meet them at the narrow opening into the
stairs
"room". If only I hadn't bothered getting to level 7 in daggers..
>
*it was this experience that prompted me to seek out ways to
achieve
Grand Mastery*
Alternatively, you can try pretty much any monster in the small cave. This
is much riskier, since they get exponentially nastier. They do not, as a
rule, melt your equipment though. They do have a nasty habit of punching
through your armor and critically hitting you even when you are not
cursed
and doomed. Alter recommended equipment to maximize DV, include more
regen
items. Bring much food & necklace of rapid healing. Invisibilty helps
here,
unlike against steel golems.

Okay it works something like this
Monster DV 5 PV 1 Hits 3
Your attack are d20 to hit, d6 amount of damage
Your first rolls was 20 to hit overcoming the DV, your damage was 1, 1
point of damage is negated by the 1 point of PV, thus you got no damage
done to monster.
Your second rolls, you rolled a 6 to hit, this being higher then the DV
you again hit, the damage roll you got was 4 (or higher) the 1 point PV
value is subtracted leaving at least 3 points of damage, that is all
that the monster had, the blow was a killing one.

OK... I thought the 'To Hit' bonus determined the accuracy, not the damage.

To put a long story short:

On attack #1 full damage was rolled, but you missed.
On attack #2 you hit the skeleton, but not with full damage.

Not so. The "do not manage to harm it" message indicates that you hit
the enemy, but don't do enough damage to get through its armour.

So if I can't get through its armour with full force, how did I do it with a
normal blow?

You got a perfectly accurate hit, but its strength sucked. Then you got a
not-so good hit, but it was powerful enough to kill the skeleton.

I'm under the impression it's the to-hit roll, and you get that when you
use a slaying weapon, too.

Logically, full force would mean full to-damage roll. Force has nothing to do
with accuracy, in fact, trying to hit something with too much force, usually
results in a miss.

It's like they said earlier, "full force" is just a multiplier (x2
maybe?). If you get a "full force" hit against the skelly and then do 1
damage (1d10, no?) then you do 2 damage, which can be absorbed by a PV of
2 so that you "do not manage to harm it" But then a regular hit might do
10 damage (1d10, no?), which would obliterate the skelly by doing 10-2=8
damage to him.

hitting harder than a "full force" one. If the skeleton only had a couple of

Okay it works something like this
Monster DV 5 PV 1 Hits 3
Your attack are d20 to hit, d6 amount of damage

Your first rolls was 20 to hit overcoming the DV, your damage was 1, 1
point of damage is negated by the 1 point of PV, thus you got no damage
done to monster.
Your second rolls, you rolled a 6 to hit, this being higher then the DV
you again hit, the damage roll you got was 4 (or higher) the 1 point PV
value is subtracted leaving at least 3 points of damage, that is all
that the monster had, the blow was a killing one.

To put a long story short:

On attack #1 full damage was rolled, but you missed.
On attack #2 you hit the skeleton, but not with full damage.

It's like they said earlier, "full force" is just a multiplier (x2
maybe?). If you get a "full force" hit against the skelly and then do 1
damage (1d10, no?) then you do 2 damage, which can be absorbed by a PV of
2 so that you "do not manage to harm it" But then a regular hit might do
10 damage (1d10, no?), which would obliterate the skelly by doing 10-2=8
damage to him.

The same is true for spears. Didn't I post that?
Anyway, the same is true for all tested weapon types: Daggers, eternium
spears, broadswords, quarterstaves, warhammers. This spans a wide array
of weapon types, so I would assume it holds true for all weapon types
except for those that can have no prefix/suffix (like swords of
sharpness), for which I would still assume that the to-hit/damage
modifiers are valid.
Of course, we don't know if there are other factors influencing item

generation (e.g. danger level or luck status).

Yes; I have looked into this further and found victory posts mentioning
blue eternium plate mail in 1.0.0. Maybe the non-existence of blue
robes in current versions of ADOM is a bug; there was a bug report on
www.adom.de about blue armour getting the wrong on-screen colour. Maybe
something went wrong in fixing this. It would be good to check if blue
eternium plate mails can still be generated; ToGu, are you listening?
:-) If they cannot, I'd file a bug report.

Since the statistics describe everything else there is to know about the
statistics of wished for robes (which I think can be generalized to body
armour in general) apart from B/U/C status, I'd add that little detail too.

Ugh, I couldn't get around looking here for a while... yes, it is the
fault of sweet students highlife on weekends and lousy means of internet
access.
In fact I recently found a pre/suffix-combo at Waldenbrook's that at
least calls for an exact definition and, given this maybe a closer look
on the precedence of pre/suffix.
The specimen was an "ashen spear of vampirism".
The call for a precise definition arises when contemplating "of
vampirism"-effects: Does the drain of an opponent's HP come under the
headline of "damage" in the sense of the prefix "ashen"?
If "no" the effect is quite clear. No regular damage against undead,
just drains.
If "yes" the order of applying pre/suffix-effects is of quite some
interest. If the prefix takes precedence, (in the case of "ashen") the
regular damage against undead is nullified while the suffix "of
vampirism" still does affect undead. If the suffix takes precedence
really no damage is done to undead for the prefix is take into account
after the "vampirism" is added.
No evaluation so far. The character died before I began asking myself
the original question. And - typical enough - now I can't find any more
of these. I won't fall to hexediting me one. I'm not fully convinced the
act as the real RNG-crafted once, for no particular reason but the bad
feeling when doing it the 'easy' way.

If I am not mistaken, there are more examples of problems with wishing

for items whose names contain other things that can be wished for (like
heavy cudgel vs. "cudgel").
This might be worth a bug report (after more extensive testing).

'Heavy' is just a normal weapon prefix, like 'balanced' or 'unholy'. And
it's mentioned in the GB.

Heavy is a normal weapon prefix, yes, but it doesn't result in a change in

the weapon stats, and it doubles the weapon weight. If heavy were just a
normal weapon prefix in this case, the "heavy cudgel" would weigh 80s, not
70s.
Also, the heavy cudgel, above, does (-4, 2d5+2) [-2, +0], while a regular
cudgel does (+0, 2d4+1) [-1, +0]. I grant you that the (-4, +2) difference
might be a variation within the weapon, but it uses d5 rather than d4,
which also suggests it's actually a different weapon.
Love and coffee,

Frances

I agree, it definitely is. It has been in the game long before the
weapon prefixes were invented. That's why Stephen said 'Please note this

No worries, it is only to be expected that the new prefixes/suffixes and

the old "special items" like halberds of defense cause confusion.
Are "regular" halberds of defense still attainable? How do they differ

from "suffix" halberds of defense, or are these forbidden? Even in cases
where there is no ambiguity ("long bow of hunting", for example), I see
a potential for confusion. Why is a "staff of power" so different from a
quarterstaff of power? Why can the former be wished for, but not the
latter?
For reasons like this I'd recommend that either

a) the old "special" weapons and armours are removed or
b) they are given less ambiguous names, e.g. "hunter's bow" or whatever.
I'm in favour of a). Of course we would lose some nice items like knives
of endurance or long bows of hunting, but this could be prevented by
introducing a few additional prefixes/suffixes (and adding ego missile
weapons).
Comments? Anyone care to RFE/bug report? Or has this been done already?

I much prefer b). Mostly because of staves of power (not that I ever use
them, they're just cool). You can't add a suffix that can add +8 Mana to a
heavy club, it doesn't make sense.
In fact, I'd much prefer leaving them alone. I don't think that many people
mix them up.
And 'like knives of endurance or long bows of hunting'? What about maces of
destruction? Swords of sharpness? Whips of the snake?

Staves of power don't give +8 to Mana, they give +4 to Willpower

(according to the Guidebook). And you can easily add a suffix with that
affect to any weapon, it is not that much different to the "of the
eagle" suffix.

Not mixing up "heavy cudgels" and "heavy cudgels"? "Halberds of defense"

and "halberds of defense"? "Staves of power" and "Quarterstaves of power"?

Personally, I find knives of endurance much better than all of these.

They are *the* most common source of regeneration, and you can equip two
at the same time. You probably won't want to fight with them, but I
often use them when walking around. They are one way of surviving the
Tower of Eternal Flame without fire immunity, for instance.
The weapons you are mention are neat, but usually you find them so late
in the game that using them doesn't make too much sense. Interestingly,
maces of destruction (which are made of adamantium) have exactly the
same damage roll as adamatium mace of devastation, if I read the
Guidebook correctly. I don't really think they need to be a separate weapon.

They are one handed, and I believe that they typically have -1 to hit,
not -4 as Stephen White's particular example did. They do (+0, 1d5+1)
when used as a missile.

I've tried wishing for both halberds of defense and thin daggers
(which would clash with Cat's Claw) with success, so it appears that
this is something specific to heavy cudgels.

Wizard's guide (by gut)
gut is a regular poster in the ADOM Hall of Fame Forum, a great place should you have any questions
about the game. With his Wizard's guide, playing a wizard is a walk in the park. Well, not exactly a
walk. More like a run from a ferocious tiger called RNG... Anyway, reading this will go a long way
to help you win the game!
(EDIT: Now it shouldn't look as hideous anymore...)

01. INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A wizard's guide for adom 1.1.1
I had some questions about writing a guide for wizards. I think the only players that would benefit
from a guide, are the very new or unspoiled players. In my opinion, these are the exact players that
should *not* play as wizards, but instead try maybe a trollish or drakish healer. At the very least
play a character that has a high toughness stat, you will live much longer that way.
So why am I typing this guide? Because lot of new players *want* to play as wizard's! If you downloa
d a game with dragons, elves, dwarves, quests, and magic, of course you are going to want to go blas
ting your way through Ancardia with reckless abandon! It's just that, this particular game has a way
of killing you, if you do that. Then players get frustrated because they keep croaking so fast, and
having to do the same stuff over and over again, without getting any farther in the game.
I will focus on using magic effectively, and what kind of tactics to use, to keep your wizard alive
longer. I will also mention good places to get books, as they are the main things that will make you
powerful as a wizard. I will cover only that which is necessary to win a game. That means I will le
ave a lot out, I know, but some must be left to the player. If you want to get really spoiled, then
read the official guidebook.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
02. SPELLS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before anything else, you must be aware of what spells are available to you, and what is their usefu
lness to you. Yes, even before race/class considerations, you must know what your arsenal will be. I
will write a brief list of the most useful ones. Only the ones that will have a big impact on your
survival chances, because a full list (of all the uses of all available spells) would be waaay to lo
ng.
[Offensive]
You will start every game with at least one of these, so know them well. I wanted to include approxi
mate PP cost for each spell, and even for each race, but PP cost fluctuates so much, (based on cycle
of the moon along with many other factors) that I have given approximations for all races in genera
l.
Acid Bolt
This is very powerful, and therefore, quite expensive in terms of PP used per casting. It does not c
ause 'special damage' to any monster, but few monsters are resistant to it.
Lightning Bolt
This is powerful, and therefore, a bit expensive in terms of PP used per casting. It does cause 'spe
cial damage' to a few monsters, and few monsters are resistant to it. This spell has the ability to
bounce off of walls, this means you can attack your enemies in creative ways, even around corners. I
t also means, you can accidentally kill yourself with it :)
Frost Bolt
This is somewhat powerful and is therefore reasonable in terms of power points. This spell does caus
e 'special damage' to fire monsters, this is balanced by the fact that more monsters have resistance
to it. Frost bolt, when used over a water square, will create an ice bridge, capable of holding 200
0 stones of weight.
Fire Bolt
This is also powerful, but not usually expensive in terms of power points. This spell does cause 'sp
ecial damage' to ice and water monsters, this is balanced by the fact that more monsters have resist
ance to it. Fire bolt, when used over a corpse has a chance to cook the corpse.
Magic Missile
All by it's self. It is least powerful of all the bolt spells, also not expensive, usually about 8-1
0 PP to start out. This spell does not cause 'special damage' to any monsters. This is balanced by t
wo things. First, no items laying on the ground will ever be destroyed by a passing magic missile. A
ll other bolt spells will destroy items on the ground, though I think frost bolt only destroys books
and scrolls and potions. Second, *NO* monster in the game is resistant to magic missile. This means
that magic missile will be your only damaging bolt spell against a few monsters, so train it. This
spell also has the ability to bounce off of walls, this means you can attack your enemies in creativ
e ways (even around corners). It also means, you can accidentally kill yourself with it :)
Ball spells
These are also acid/lightning/fire/ice, and so follow the same damage and cost patterns of their bol
t spell equivalents. They have three main advantages over bolt spells. First, if you're surrounded,
they can attack all of the monsters surrounding you, bolt spells only attack in a straight line. Sec
ond, NO monsters can shrug them off, ever. Third, bolt spells can't go through doors or walls, ball
spells can. You have to have a high Willpower stat to increase the radius of your ball spells to tak
e advantage of that though.
Burning Hands
Much like ball spells, though a FEW monsters can shrug it off. It's fire though, so many creatures a
re resistant to it. You can consider it as a wizard's substitute for melee against most monsters . I
t will help you save your bolt spells, so it is nice to have it.
[Advantage Spells]
We're skinny little wizards, we need all the advantages we can get! These spells tend to even the pl
aying field for wizards, when it comes to combat.
Darkness
One of the best, and most under-used spells in the wizard's arsenal. It gives %100 protection from s
ome of the nastiest monsters in the early (and middle, and late) game. These monsters can not fight
in the dark and will stupidly stand in one spot, and happily take punishment from you, until they di
e, or panic and run away. If a monster panics though, and they have no way to escape you they may th
en attack you, so be careful when dealing with panicking monsters. Also darkness doesn't work on mon
sters when they stand in doorways, even if the doorway registers as being in the dark, this may be a
bug. Here is a partial list, (I know I will leave some out) of some monsters it can save your life
from. Early game: Vortexes, mimics, ogres(lords, magus) and spiders. Middle game: animated trees, Sn
ake from Beyond, berserkers (kings, emperors), Late game: doppleganger kings, titans (greater). For
the most part humanoids, giants, and animals won't fight back in the dark.
Invisibility
Most of the monsters that can or can't see in the dark, behave the same with regard to invisibility,
A notable exception is undead monsters (vampires, ghuls, etc...). Unlike darkness, you can not enga
ge your enemy in melee with impunity, by using invisibility. They will hit you back if you melee, ca
st ball spells or burning hands. However you can use bolt spells or attack them with missiles withou
t causing them to see you. Plus, you can shoot missiles while invisible, but not in the darkness.
Farsight
Normally monsters will see you before you see them. This is unfortunate because some monsters are ve
ry fast, strike from a distance or summon other monsters. With a limited field of vision these monst
ers can hit you or even have you surrounded, and darkness might not always be able to save you. Fars
ight allows you to see enemies before they see you. It can save your life, by lowering the chance th
at some monster (especially black wizards) will sneak up on you and start summoning monsters that ca
n surround you. It's not necessary but nice to have.
Web
Your enemies get stuck in webs for a few turns, unless they are very powerful. Enemies can't attack
you or use special powers, like summoning, when they are stuck in webs. It is a very useful spell ag
ainst even some of the toughest monsters in the game.
Stun Ray
It inflicts no damage on enemies and so is not an offensive spell. It will most likely be shrugged o
ff by most of the monsters you would LIKE to use it on. Other spells (and other means) usually work
better to achieve the same end. So why am I listing it? You might find it early! If this is the firs
t advantage spell you get, use it. It will affect most low level monsters, and so help protect your
hit points. Stun ray is effective against some higher level monsters later in the game (most notably
minotaur mages), but you can use a wand of stunning to the same end and save your PP's for offense.
Bless
Another under-used spell. Casting the bless spell, upon yourself, gives you the 'Blessed' status. Th
is is the same status you get after being 'crowned' as the champion of your deity. Therefore this st
atus is usually available to spellcasters much sooner than non-spellcasters. Specifically, it means
that you have some extra luck, and lower food consumption, both very nice effects. After finding thi
s book, your PC should not walk around unblessed in any dungeon afterward, the rewards are just too
nice to miss. The more you cast it, the longer each casting will last. The castings also 'stack', li
ke if one casting yields 100 gameturns of blessing, then two castings will yield 200, and three = 30
0 and so on. This is a good way of training your Mana stat, at least in the early and middle game. T
he 'blessed' status can be taken away (pretty rare though), if you enter a room that is "particularl
y unholy". These rooms are generated randomly, and it is a one-time effect, so all you have to do is
re-cast the spell. If you are running out of castings though, save them for an important time in th
e game. Bless can also be used as an offensive spell to inflict damage on undead monsters. Once trai
ned to high effectivity, it can inflict a lot of damage.
[Utility spells]
They are incredibly useful, and there are no real substitutes for them.
Strength of atlas
Does nothing more than increase your carrying capacity. But it does increase it! Your Mana stat time
s 1000 worth of capacity you'll get! This means you can carry a very large inventory of useful items
, and make use of a few very heavy items. Non-spellcasters simply can't do the same. If you don't ha
ve the SoA spell, carrying a large inventory means having the 'burdened', or 'strained' status. Thes
e reduce your DV, 'to hit', and increase your food consumption rate, all bad. Strength of Atlas spel
ls also 'stack', even more so than the Bless spell, because there are no room effects that will take
it away from you. Once it is cast, it is cast. If you only cast a few spells, or walk in the wilder
ness for extended periods, your carrying capacity may fail you. This effect may crush you if you are
carrying a very heavy inventory. The game gives you several warning messages before it fails though
, so pay attention to those messages, and don't take chances.
Teleport
Maybe the most useful spell in the game. Even if you don't have TP control, gained by eating a blink
dog corpse (it allows you to TP to whatever square you want to), it will allow you to escape danger
ous situations that could kill you. Some levels, like boss levels, do not allow TP because it is so
powerful. If a level allows TP, the only way a monster can kill you is if it can do so with one hit.
You can use TP to create distance between yourself and your enemy, and continually use bolt spells
to kill them. Creative use of TP will allow you to gain access to otherwise inaccessible places, and
also some early access to some very good equipment.
[Healing Spells]
Self-explaining.
Cure Light Wounds

The most useful healing spell you will get. It's not the most powerful, but it will most probably be
available much sooner than the others. It is cheap on PP's and therefore easily trained. Once train
ed it can yield 20-30 HP's per 2-3 PP's for casting.
Cure Serious/Critical wounds and Heal

If you train them, they can be useful, but potions will probably serve better. They are more costly
in terms of PP's and you would be lucky to´find them early.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
03. CHOOSING A PLAYING STYLE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that we understand a bit about our spells we need to think about gameplay. The most important th
ing about choosing a wizard is this, how many spell castings do you get from reading a book. This is
primarily determined by your Learning stat. A troll wizard that starts with a book of fire bolt, ma
y wind up with a castings score as low as 100 (note: this does not mean 100 castings. With each cast
ing, your casting score decrements by more than 1.) A grey elven wizard may start with that same boo
k and obtain over 1000. This means you have to decide.
What kind of style do you want to play in? There are two choices, a pure wizard, and a fighting wiza
rd. A pure wizard would start with high Learning, Willpower and Mana stats and so rely on magic to k
ill nearly every monster in the game, only using melee and missiles as a fallback. Fighting wizards
would prefer better physical stats to start and thus rely on non-magical means of combat, only using
magic in tight spots, or when it's advantageous.
Reasons to play a pure wizard style:

High Mana means lots of PP, so you can depend on your spells heavily, and train spells quickly. High
Learning stat means lots of castings available, this is VERY important, as you do NOT want to run o
ut. Also you will be capable of learning very powerful spells right away. If you can find a way to i
ncrease your stats in the game, especially Strength, Toughness, and Dexterity, you will become a res
pectable fighter. Also finding (or smithing) good equipment will make you a very respectable fighter
, regardless of class.
Reasons not to play a pure wizard style:

A low starting Toughness stat means you can die at any time in the early game, if you are unlucky en
ough to step on a stone block trap. There is not much to be done about it unfortunately. After you g
et a few levels up, it won't be such a problem. But at the beginning, every step could be your last!
There are also a few monsters that are difficult to kill with magic, they are either resistant to e
lemental magic, or just really good at 'shrugging off' your bolts. For this reason you should train
missile skills and also some melee.
Reasons to play a fighting wizard style:

You will likely have enough toughness to survive most trap accidents, though this is not guaranteed.
You will still have ACCESS to spells, which other classes would not. Limited castings aren't a big
problem if you're careful with them. Getting few castings per book isn't such a big deal if you have
lots of books, and you will find many in the game. If you can find a way to increase your stats in
the game, especially Learning, Willpower, and Mana, you can become a powerful wizard later.
Reasons not to play a fighting wizard style:

The Learning stat is one of the more difficult stats to train, if you start with a low one, you will
be stuck with it for a while. The Mana stat is easier to train, just cast lots of spells, this will
cause your PP's to constantly regenerate and thus train Mana. The problem with this is that if your
Learning stat is low you won't have many spellcastings to work with. Also as far as fighting charac
ters go, wizards are pretty lousy. The wizard class yields low HP, low healing rate, and a miserable
fighting skillset.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
04. SKILLS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting skillsets for all wizards consists of these skills.
Alchemy = Allows you get recipes to mix magical potions. Most are useful for all races, but longevit
y potion is very useful for short-lived races.
Concentration = Helps regenerate PP more quickly. Get this to 100 as soon as possible. This is the m
ost important skill you have.
Healing = Helps regenerate HP more quickly. A high priority definitely.
Herbalism = Without it you only pick cursed herbs. A high score helps you pick more (and more blesse
d) herbs from each bush. Another high priority.
Literacy = Usually starts at 100 for wizards.
Stealth = Enemies won't always notice you as soon as your in their line of sight. Also at 100 helps
you get the weird tome from the ghost librarian. Nice.
Ventriloquism = Maybe confuse your enemy for a turn or two.
Also all PC's get:

Climbing - At 100 you can enter the Rift.
Haggling - Worthless.
First Aid - Sometimes useful to fight poison in the very beginning of the game.
Skills that can be acquired in-game.
From Bart:
Backstabbing = Not as useful for wizards as other classes. Combine it with invisibility if you want
to use it.
Tactics = Better modifiers from the tactics setting is good for dodging. This is a high priority onc
e you get it.
Two Weapon Combat = Useless, as a wizard you need a shield.
From Yergius (he teaches and trains):

Climbing = His training in this is convenient.
Detect Traps = Press the 's' command to search for traps. Most players love it, but if you are famil
iar with the heavily trapped areas of the game you can do without it. You can use wands to the same
end.
Disarm Traps = You have a spellbook to do this for you, if you can find one, and the spell works a l
ot better.
Pick Locks = Useless. Keys and the Knock spell work better.
Pick Pockets = Generates more items, so it's nice. Successfully using it about 20 times allows entry
into the thieves guild.
Stealth = At 100 helps you get the weird tome from the ghost librarian.
From Guth'Alak
Herbalism = You already have this.
Gardening = You don't need this.
From Tywat Pare

Law = Worthless
From Yrrigs
Bridge Building = Frost bolt works better.
From the Old Barbarian

Courage = Helps out if your surrounded. Verdict...don't get surrounded and you won't need it.
From Glod
Smithing, it can be useful if you get the equipment: Hammer, anvil, and ore. To get the anvil you pr
obably have to kill Glod or Kherab, and you have to dig the ore from walls using a pickaxe. If Glod
is alive he will fix your broken pickaxes for a price. To use Glod's forge you should lead him off t
he level first by means of (':s') swapping places with him and leading him down the stairs. If Dwarf
town is on D:11 use a couple scrolls of blessed scrolls of peace if you have them, it will eliminate
background corruption. Some players love smithing but I never use it. Digging, plus repairing picka
xes, plus creating ingots from ore, plus the actual smithing process, is boooring. It takes a lot of
real life time, a lot of game time, and a lot of game turns. Of these, the game turn length is the
most important game effect. More game turns = lower score (which you probably shouldn't care about y
et), and also corruption, if you don't have scrolls of peace. If you want the extra DV and PV and ar
e willing to tough out the boredom, smithing can really give your PC an edge.
From Blup
Swimming, not too useful. Wizards usually have other ways of dealing with water.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
05. RACE DIFFERENCES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting equipment for all wizards consists of these items unless otherwise noted. Armor = robe [+0,
+1], sandals [+0, +0]. Weapon = dagger (1d4) or quarterstaff (1d10). Some torches, two rings, about
3 potions, about 2 scrolls, about 2 books, an offensive wand, about 150 gp, and an iron ration
Yes that's one, count it ONE point of PV for an average non-troll wizard. Trolls get more because of
inherent Strength and Toughness, usually 3 or 4. If you get more than two points of starting PV, th
e RNG (random number generator) was good to you. Watch out, it can make up for that later :)
So what does each race bring to the table.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Humans have standard equipment, except leather boots [+0, +0] instead of sandals
Their stats are:
I actually won't bother listing average stats.
For humans all stats are average, so I won't list any for humans.
They bring the following noteworthy skills:

Food Preservation = More monster corpses generated. Very nice.
Swimming = Not much. (Spellcasters usually have other ways of dealing with water.)
Pros = Humans are capable of playing either style, magic or fighting dependent. If you start with hi
gh Learning, the RNG was good to you, you can really take advantage of magic. Food Preservation is o
ne of the nicer skills.
Cons = If you start out as dumb as a brick, you will run out of spells quickly and have to use melee
or missiles. Trying to find some missiles and a decent melee weapons will be imperative. There is n
ot really much about humans to make them stand out. Their lifespan is a bit short.
Summary = Just an average wizard with Food Preservation. If you like having a luck of the draw facto
r, choose humans.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trolls have standard equipment, except leather boots [+0, +0] instead of sandals.
Trollish stats are:
Strength very high
Learning very low
Willpower low
Dexterity low
Toughness very high
Mana very low
Perception low

Athletics = Help your physical stats increase a bit.
Food Preservation = More monster corpses generated. Very nice.
Gemology = More gems/crystals generated. Gemology could help you find Crystals of Learning that, whe
n blessed and 'u'sed, raise your Learning stat. Nice.
Mining = Mines faster, and pick axes break less often.
Pros = Trolls make good fighting wizards. They are the easiest race to keep alive in the beginning.
If you are willing to wait a long time to enjoy full use of your magic, you will have a strong chara
cter. Trolls level slowly, this can be a good thing. There are places in the game that have experien
ce level restrictions, like perhaps a level 16 PC can enter a place, but a level 17 couldn't. This i
s good for trolls because they will be stronger at a given level than other classes would be, by com
parison. Their skillset is really nice. Trolls heal very quickly.
Cons = Their Learning stat is abysmal. You won't get many castings from reading your books at the be
ginning of the game. You might consider book casting from them or storing them to read later. They h
ave a very short life span, and should protect themselves from ghost bats/kings by all means. Switch
ing tactics to coward and casting spells on them will help you destroy them without being aged. Trol
ls level up slowly, this can be a bad thing too. You will need ridiculous amounts of experience poin
ts to get your level up after a while. Trolls regenerate PP's slowly.
Summary = Trolls give you a good fighter that has ACCESS to lots of spells. Wizards and necromancers
as classes, find waaay more spellbooks than any other classes. This means that even if you are a mi
serable wizard, you will still have many spells at your disposal, that can definitely save your life
.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
High Elves have standard equipment.
High Elven stats are:
Learning high
Dexterity very high
Toughness low
Mana very high
Perception very high

Dodge = Enemies miss you more often. Very nice.
Pros = High Elves are great pure wizards. They have the ability to learn some of the most powerful s
pells in the game from the very beginning. They have a very long life span, you won't worry about ev
er being aged to death by anything. They get an extra bit of Dexterity that helps them be effective
with missiles. Their dodging skill is very nice. High Elves regenerate PP's quickly.
Cons = Low Toughness on the other hand means that you have to be very careful with their HP. You mus
t find ammunition for missile attacks, because wizards don't start out with any. High Elves heal ver
y slowly.
Summary = A slight advantage in Dexterity and Toughness means they might be a bit easier to keep ali
ve than grey elves. You might consider trying a high elf if your grey elves keep dying.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grey Elves have standard equipment, except a loaf of elven bread, which is very nourishing, and so n
ice to have.
Grey Elves stats are:
Learning very high
Dexterity high
Toughness very low
Mana very high
Perception very high

Before tackling the tower clear darkforge. The steel golems are highly vulnerable to lightning, but
they shrug off a lot of bolts. If you have the lightning ball spell, it's a breeze though, and you s
hould consider clearing darkforge earlier, as the rewards are nice. You can use Big Punch to kill th
em in melee, just keep a VERY close eye on your HP's and don't take chances. Don't wear any thing th
at isn't fireproof while fighting them, it will get destroyed. Loot the weapons and armor room, and
get the Steel Crown, and consider selling all the junk in Dwarftown. You can drink from the pools in
darkforge if you wish, but you might get doomed. So if you drink, make sure you have a way of getti
ng excellent piety fast, for doom removal.
The Tower of Eternal Flames

Before entering the tower you need: A blessed fireproof blanket, some means of fire resistance, a me
ans of digging, food, some blessed potions of extra healing, some other means of healing (spells or
spensweed), the frost bolt spell, some cursed potions of invisibility (curse them yourself with some
unholy water), potions of blindness and confusion work to if you have them, some uncursed potions o
f invisibility (if you don't have the spell), some wands of door creation, about 200 HP's and the te
leport spell (you can do it without teleport, but it's much safer with it).
It is imperative to limit your inventory! The more items you carry with you the faster your blanket
will fail. You may take some items that you like, but do limit them. Wear only fireproof items, the
rest will burn up. If you have a ring of ice, that's nice, but you really need to wear two blessed r
ings of ice to guarantee item safety. Kill the fire enemies with frost bolt, yes they will shrug a l
ot off, but keep blasting and you'll get them. When you run out of PP's exit the tower and recover i
n the wilderness, this is what the food is for.
The Ancient Chaos Wyrm is one of the toughest enemies you will face, considering your level, and equ
ipment restrictions. Have Willpower, Dexterity, and Toughness all at least 25 before fighting him. Y
ou can equip the water orb and Sword of Nonnak for an additional 15 points of Willpower. First tunne
l in and frost bolt the demons, grues and elementals. The only monsters that see invisible are the A
ncient Chaos Wyrm and the chaos servants. The only monsters that can see in the dark are the Ancient
Chaos Wyrm and fire demons.
Make sure that you 'wake up' the Ancient Chaos Wyrm before you run out of PP's, you will know he is
awake when you get the message 'you feel some force attacking your mind', so you will exit the tower
and recover PP's. When you resume the fight, your goal is to lead the Ancient Chaos Wyrm to the sta
irs. The temple level doesn't allow teleportation, but the level just below it does. Utilize 'monste
r shields' (fire grues and such) to prevent getting hit by the Wyrm's energy bolts on the way back t
o the stairs. Use your wands of door creation (it's a good idea to have created these doors in strat
egic locations before luring The Wyrm, and just close them as you pass) to keep The Ancient Chaos Wy
rm from getting you in his line of sight. This prevents his confusion attack attempts. When your on
the stairs, he won't immediately come to stand next to you. So you will trade bolts with him for a w
hile, when you get hit, descend the stairs and heal. Ascend the stairs and repeat. If he confuses yo
u, don't stumble around, just use the stairs. He will eventually stand next to you. Lead him down an
d teleport to get some distance. Equip your potions of blindness in your missile slot and teleport b
ack. Blind him and unequip your potions (this keeps them from destruction). Use your bolt spells, an
d if you have them, ball spells now. If he recovers his vision and hits you, teleport away and heal,
don't take chances. If he confuses you attempt to teleport a few times, but drink a potion of extra
healing if you get hit. He'll panic soon and then you've got him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caverns of Chaos part 3
Remember that wall of unpassable flames...now pass it. Also pass the Eternal Guardian by wearing the
Ring of the High Kings.
The Casino
Upon entering the casino make a habit of equipping an amulet of free action. This gives protection f
rom the guaranteed master mimic in the gift shop. If you have none then use darkness, but that means
the mimic might get one free hit on you (it could be the death of you). Try invisibility plus the h
ighest DV you can get. Gather all the items and identify them. Pick out what you like and notice how
much it costs all together. Gamble at the slot machine that has a 24 gp price on it, get the gold y
ou need, Also get an extra amount to ensure enough piety for crowning. When you get stunned at your
winnings, don't stumble around, clean your 'E'ars instead. Get your shopping done, and travel to a d
esired alter, probably Dwarftown. You'll find the shortcut just a few levels down from the casino. R
ead all the spellbooks that you got from the casino on a non corrupting level. Then return.
Bunny Level
Message ="intense tension" = Dig Kill Leave
The Cat Lord

You will get a message "this level somehow seems to be removed from the rest of the world" upon ente
ring his dungeon level. If you have killed no cats you talk to the Cat Lord and get a ring, otherwis
e you get a fight. You need to: see invisible (Ancient Mummy Wrapping), have potions of confusion or
blindness (cursed potions of invisibility) equipped in your missile slot, and wands of paralyzation
and poison are nice too. Lead off with the potions, they are 100% effective. Next utilize the wands
if you have them. Then use magic spells to finish. There is no teleporting allowed on this level bu
t you shouldn't need it.
The Air Temple

Another item restriction level. This time it's lightning that destroys items. Whatever. No regular m
onsters can see in the dark here. Not vapor rats, air grues/demons/elementals, or the chaos servants
. In fact, only the chaos servants can even see invisible. Yulgash the Master Summoner can see invis
ible and in the dark. He is easily killed by standing outside of the door to his room and shooting m
agic missile bouncing around inside the room. Very easy.
The Earth Temple
This one is a bit harder. Most enemies here can see invisible and in the dark. Ball spells are usefu
l but expensive in PP's because you really don't want to get surrounded by these guys (they hit hard
!). Acid and lightning bolts are effective against the grues, but the elementals are really good at
shrugging them off. You'll have to use acid or lightning ball spells like crazy, to kill the element
als and the Ancient Stone Beast. It might be worth considering, at this point, to sacrifice one or t
wo points of Mana and cast ball spells out of your HP's. If you don't like that idea that's ok too,
but it's a long way back to the surface, and your Mana points should regenerate soon anyway.
The Mana Temple

You should have a few wands of trap detection by now, so the traps won't be a problem. You should al
so have the Disarm Traps spell which is also useful. Once you navigate to the mana temple big room,
just cast darkness and stand in the doorway shooting bolt spells into the room while in the dark. No
ne of the monsters in here see in the dark, not the chaos wizards/warriors/servants/greater servants
or the eyes. The wizards can summon writhing masses of primal chaos however, and they do see in the
dark. The Archmage himself sees in the dark and in fact casts darkness himself. Every now and then
cast light to see where every one is. Try to target your bolt spells to take out the wizards first t
o limit the summoning. The eyes will drain your PP's to 0. You will have to cast out of your HP's, g
oodbye two or three Mana points. Soon the Archmage will begin confusion attempts upon you. Now it's
Archmage time.
The Archmage
If you have the acid ball spell: You need to have death ray resistance (Ancient Mummy Wrapping or am
ulet), confusion resistance, and a wand of door creation to battle the Archmage. Retreat into the co
rridor. When you kill all the monsters between yourself and Nuurag-Vaarn you can utilize a created d
oor to keep his bolt spells from hitting you. Lock the door and use 'Willpower boosted' acid ball sp
ells to kill the Archmage, while he stands on the other side of the door.
If you don't have acid ball: You need death ray resistance, human slaying ammunition, confusion resi
stance and potions of confusion or blindness/cursed potions of invisibility. Wands of poison and par
alyzation are nice too. Retreat into the corridor. When you kill all the monsters between yourself a
nd the Archmage you can utilize a potion to confuse or blind him, these are 100% effective. You can
now exploit missiles or other weapons to dispatch him. Acid bolt is effective and magic missile, but
he shrugs off a lot. If you use bolt spells just don't melt your humanoid slaying ammo if you can h
elp it.
The Ice Level

Use a potion of uselessness in the missile slot to make yourself slide a space on the ice. This gets
you a free artifact.
D:50
Goodbye to more Mana points, you won't have many PP's at this stage, and hanging around such a corru
pting area to regenerate them, is a bad idea. Cast darkness and bolt most of the writhing masses of
primal chaos to death first, because they see in the dark. Now angle some bouncing bolts up and down
ward to kill the chaos warriors. Cast light pick up any items you like and finish off the remaining
writhing masses. Search for the hidden openings in the walls of the writhing masses room. Enter the
tunnels and bolt the monsters to death in the dark. Try to kill the wizards first to limit their sum
moning. Do not handle the levers yet, and be careful to stay away from the wall that is near the cen
ter room. There is another secret door near the lever, that opens if you are near it, thus awakening
the center room. Clear both secret tunnels this way. Now it's time to 'h'andle the levers, and stop
the incursions of chaos into Ancardia.
Now if you have some wands of destruction you can handle a lever, destroy the lever with your wand,
teleport, handle the other level, destroy it, teleport to the staircase and leave. You win. Some fin
d this a bit cheap though. So if you don't have the wand, or if you just want some extra satisfactio
n, finish the game the thorough way. It is not dangerous, to kill all the monsters on the level, it
just takes a bit of time.
Just 'h'andle the levers to stop the chaos. Some balors here won't like that so they will teleport t
o the levers and open them. Kill the balors by bolting them to death. Do the same for the greater ba
lor. If they get close to you, just teleport away and resume bolting them. Yes this takes a while, b
ut so what. If you have ball spells, and don't mind healing yourself more often, you can use those f
or possibly quicker results. Finally all the balors will be dead and you can tackle the center room.
The only monsters left that can see in the dark are the ghosts and some writhing masses that may be
summoned by the chaos wizards. So you should once again employ some darkness usage. Awaken the cente
r room by finding the hidden opening near one of the levers. This gives you a good bolt spell shot a
t most of the chaos wizards all at once, thus limiting summoned monsters. If the ghosts surround you
use ball spells. Eventually you will prevail.
The White Unicorn Quest

Before leaving the Drakalor Chain, talk to the druid in Terinyo once more. This opens the unicorn qu
est. Near the Old Barbarian's glade, you will find him. Talk to him then go kill the greater black u
nicorn. Return and get all corruptions healed. Now leave the Drakalor Chain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Temple
This is in no way necessary to win the game. So I will cover it only briefly, and partially. I use i
t for quick experience levels in the early game. So that is what I will describe, the rest I will le
ave up to you. You might try this with some newly generated characters before trying it with a chara
cter that is important to you.
No claw bugs can shrug off bolt spells, not greater or killer. Two bolt spells (acid/lightning/fire/
frost) always kills greater bugs, and 3 bolt spells will kill killer bugs. Both types of bugs can so
metimes travel 2 spaces in 1 turn, if your speed is about 100. Or they can travel 1 space and then h
it you. For this reason, you don't want to bolt a bug that is just one space away from you. He might
survive one bolt, move one space, and then hit you, thus killing a low level PC. If a greater claw
bug is two spaces from you, and in line with a bolt spell, you can always kill it. It takes three to
kill Killer claw bugs though. The Killer claw bug must be at LEAST 3 spaces away to safely bolt it
once, and then leave the BUGWIL. Or five spaces away to bolt it to death. If more than one claw bug
awakens on you at one time, simply leave and re-enter. Carefully make your way back to where you lef
t, and you will see them again, only this time you will approach them one at a time.
Before entering the BUGWIL, light a torch. This extends your field of vision by a couple of squares.
Now enter the BUGWIL, move down one space, now shoot a bolt spell north-westward, this should hit a
greater claw bug. One more kills it. Move all the way to the top of the screen along the right hand
side of the level, no bugs should awaken on you. Now move left until you get to the tree, and bolt
a bug. Probably you will have to exit. When you re-enter just carefully move upward till you see it,
if it doesn't line up with a bolt spell just exit and re-enter 1 more time, then it will.
The rest is pretty much the same, just carefully move left along the top of the map, exiting when yo
u need to. When you start awakening the killer claw bugs, you might consider leaving. But if you dec
ide to try the killer bugs you might get a couple more experience levels.

Killing in Style (Guide to being an Assassin by Soirana)
The guide of today has been made by Soirana, seasoned ADOM veteran. After reading it myself, I came
to the conclusion that he knows an awful lot more about playing Assassins than me...
Without further ado, here it is!
Killing in style
My favourite class is Assassins. The Archer is top dog in missile weapons, Barbarian probably in mel
ee, Wizard in magic and Assassins… Well, I do believe they are best in style department. I wouldn’t
recommend it to a beginner. At least when I tried them at my beginning, I died and died a lot. Even
now lot of my assassins die early… usually because of trying being too stylish.
I’ll keep the structure and good pile of common stuff from Silfir’s guides in a modified version. Ho
pefully that doesn’t offend anyone.
I. Manual information:
ASSASSIN -- Assassins are a dark and mysterious class. They are trained to end the life of their opp
onents quickly and silently. Many of them favour poisons to achieve this goal.
Assassins are trained in the following skills: Alchemy, Alertness, Archery, Backstabbing, Climbing,
Detect Traps, Dodge, Find Weakness, Pick Locks, Stealth, and Two Weapon Combat.
At higher levels assassins get a lot more deadly in their trade. At level 6 they can create poison f
rom any potion (except for water and fruit juice). At level 12 their backstabbing powers get a lot m
ore deadly. At level 18 the range of their missile attacks is increased by 30%. At level 25 their ch
ance to score critical hits is increased by 20%. At level 32 the dodge bonus they gain is doubled. A
t level 40 they become immune to poison. At level 50 they receive a small chance to score instant ki
lling hits. This chance is based upon the level of the target.
From ADOM FAQ: about race class combo-- Thieves and Assassins are a little frail to be hack-and-slas
h fighters, but they start out with some nice skills, including the all-important Detect Traps. Play
ing them like Archers is a good strategy, but don't worry if you cannot keep them alive -- it isn't
easy.
II. Starting up the Assassin.
1. Starsigns:
I haven’t got much new to say. Spellcasting signs are not overinteresting. If you get Concentration
skill somehow, Assassin can and will be quite capable in magic. But I wouldn’t rely on that too much
. Book at least will save your ass from most of bad effects if you fail to read some spellbooks.
Both Candle (extrahealing, extra talent) and Raven (+10 to speed, earlier trident, 25% resistance to
dopleganger’s confusion) are hard to argue as being top ones.
Dragon and Sword are also fine. I’d prefer Dragon as it reduces missile weapon marks and stat arrang
ement is very good to start with.
If I need to pick…Candle >Dragon=Raven. Just because I like my assassins to survive. Powerwise Raven
is a top one.
2. General starting equipment:
Daggers: Assassins usually get heap of (stackable or not) daggers. They also get extra 4 levels in d
aggers and thrown daggers. If they start with a dagger in off hand that is one extra level in dagger
s.
All assassins also get some body armour (from clothes to elven chain armour), hood, gloves and hoode
d cloak. Non-hurthlings also receive leather boots. It is quite possible for some pieces to have som
e positive modifiers. It is also rare case for drakelings to start not being half naked. Gloves are
also good for protecting rings early on. Hooded cloak does not protect worn stuff from water traps (
at very least not 100%). In my opinion it works only against drenching rain.
They also start with some potions of poison that could be very very useful.
3. Race-specific starting equipment, evaluation
a) Human:
Skills added: Food Preservation, Swimming
Starting equipment: Assassin’s clothing/daggers + leather armour (+2PV with no drawback), long sword
in right hand, dagger in left, fire-making equipment.
Pros: Food Preservation (you can’t add very much with race to Assassin skillset... except Food Prese
rvation of course.)
Cons: Mediocre strength and toughness
Verdict: Mediocre choice. No big problems, no big gains. No real reasons to keep this race except ro
leplay.
b) Troll:
Skills added: Athletics, Bridge Building, Food Preservation, Gemology, Mining
Starting equipment: Thick furs (worse version of leather armour), heavy club + assassin clothing and
dagger sets.
Pros and Cons: Trolls race is more influential then any class you picked for them. Big club for smas
hing, good healing rate, exceptional strength and toughness and troll’s metabolism and huge need in
experience, short lifespan (somehow that is longer than orcs, keep in mind). And yes skills are very
good to add.
Verdict: Trolls survive early on and later… Later they also survive, but become a bit boring. It is
okay choice, but being troll is… being troll. I’d rather pick troll barbarian.
c) High Elf:
Skills added: None (you would had scored for learning with elf anyway)
Starting equipment: Assassin sets, elven chain armour[0,+5], dual wielded short swords.
Pros: elven chain armour, long lifespan
Cons: Low toughness
Verdict: A lousy choice. Except for good body armour doesn’t got any sellpoints. Starting assassin i
s hardest part. Low toughness isn’t making your life easier.
d) Gray Elf:
See high elf. Except for alignment I do not see any differences.
e) Dark Elf:
Skills added: None (honestly you get doubletrain on alertness and find weakness but still not impres
sive)
Starting equipment: look High elves.
Pros: look High elves
Cons: Low strength and toughness, problems with shop prices.
Verdict: from style position it might be nice choice. Powerwise you get all Dark Elf drawbacks for n
early no gain. I’d rather pick human. At least if I look in mirror I see human not dark elf, but tha
t is just me.
f) Dwarf:
Skills added: Smithing , Metallurgy, Mining
Starting equipment: Assassin sets+ studded leather ([-1,+3 ] with some drawback in to-hit area) armo
ur, hand axe, small shield (with lv1 in shields).
Pros: good strength and toughness, nice lifespan, studded leather armour
Cons: not really much to mention.
Verdict: This is a very good choice. Dwarf gives some bones under some PV and you ready to go choppi
ng your enemies.
g) Gnome:
Skills added: Pick pockets, Gemology, Mining, Ventriloquism
Starting equipment: Assassin sets + leather armour, short sword right hand, dagger left. Leather boo
ts are replaced with gnomish (+2DV at least), firemaking equipment.
Pros: Ventriloquism, extra talent, reduced need in xp.
Cons: mediocre to low toughness.
Verdict: Good choice. Gemology + Mining is awesome. Ventriloquism is very good if trained. Still, gn
omes lack a bit in the physical department.
h) Hurthling:
Skills added: Cooking, Food Preservation, Gardening
Starting equipment: assassin sets + leather armour, short sword in right hand, dagger in left, curse
d ring, firemaking equipment, cooking set… and a boomerang.
Pros: boomerang, higher than average Dexterity and Toughness, extra talent, Food Preservation, reduc
ed need in xp.
Cons: problems in strength department.
Verdict: Hurthlings make nice assassins. If you are not afraid to put some work on strength it becom
es best choice. I wouldn’t value boomerang much, but it is stylish and can be sold for good heap of
money. As long as the cursed ring is not one of damage little ones go nicely.
i) Orc:
Skills added: Metallurgy, Mining
Starting equipment: assassin sets, studded leather armour, battle axe (1d6+2), medium shield (+3, +1
) (1lv of skill in shields).
Pros: High strength and toughness, nice starting equipment
Cons: very short lifespan, iirc smithing costs about 21.000gp in dwarftown.
Verdict: good choice, but you get easier start in exchange of life span problems and being screwed i
n dwarven shop. No more, no less.
Of course money is a problem only early on and once you get stuff granting invisibility… none of the
se aging monsters sees invisible.
j) Drakeling:
Skills added: Food Preservation, Music
Starting equipment: assassin sets + clothes, right hand – scimitar, left - dagger, bracers of protec
tion (+2PV which are in slot you won’t touch for a while), couple of scurgari’s in missile slot.
Pros: High strength and toughness, Acid Breath , Food Preservation
Cons: Drakelings metabolism (heat-cold problems)
Verdict: One of top choices. Not bad equipment (very comaparable to some races like human), good sta
ts, Acid Breath. Just keep your fingers crossed if you meet bunch of white dragons and take extra po
tions into Tower of Eternal Flames.
k) Conclusion: Assassin skillset really needs only Food Preservation (okay Concentration, Healing, H
erbalism are good just you won’t get that with race and Atheletics are accessible only via being tro
ll). Depending on preferences the best choice is between hurthlings and drakelings. Dwarves, orcs an
d gnomes are nice also. Other than that you can always pick something you find stylish.
4. Gender:
Primary effect: +1to strength for males, +1 to dexterity to females. Well, troll probably benefits m
ore from +1 strength pushing that even higher, hurthling, who needs a lot work on strength anyway, p
robably should pick dexterity as it is hard to train without herbs.
Secondary: prices are based on charisma for males and appearance for females (key prices from cloake
d ratling are severely affected by gender). Since assassins have some problems with charisma and app
earance is easier to boost with items… Obviously being girl is profitable in Adom world.
III. Playing in style

1. Assassins in general:
They are not either melee powerhouses, nor best archers. And magic… wands are good. One of best thin
gs in they skillset with Alertness, Alchemy, Find Weakness, Dodge, but it needs some time and work t
o give results. Also most of things on assassins are plain without any DV/PV bonuses.
Start obviously might be problematic and later on… Later on they should be deadly with missiles and
melee, having some magical backup (at very least teleportation and darkness). The bonuses of to hit
and to damage on level ups are more than reasonable for both missiles and melee.
Of course you need to think whom to fight and how. But that is normal, right?
DV, PV, to-hit, to-damage and speed are never to high. Do not forget Willpower affects wands as well
. Physical stats should be a priority anyway as Assassins are fighters not flower loving book reader
s.
2. Getting started:
As FAQ states early on Assassins might give some trouble. Not high hit points, no healing and… they
are not supposed single-handedly obliterate crowds of monsters. Well, they will be very capable of t
hat… later on with some level ups and trained stats.
First thing you should do is putting heap of daggers in missile slot. 4levels in thrown daggers mean
s +8 to hit, +6 to damage, +1 range. Add on potential bonus of Archery (about +1 to hit in most case
s) with berserk archery and you will see some chance of early survival.
Annoying thing is daggers are not offered to put in missile slot on pick up, but that means you do n
ot waste extra turn by accidentally pressing spacebar.
Keep in mind orcs throw nice knives, so you better milk them early on.
Second, you should consider your melee weapons. Trolls can keep bashing stuff with heavy club, orcs
might want to keep battleaxe, but others should examine they non-stackable daggers. Good dagger (wit
h extra to-hit or to-damage) combined with skill in daggers (4-5levels to start, on lv5 that is +4 t
o-hit, +2 to-damage, +1 DV) is better than short sword and even scimitar. Leave double wielding to r
oleplaying guys, who know that they are doing (if you are one of these you should write guides not t
o read them).
Extra stuff – you should have at least couple of [0,0] items. Well, you can sell them on black marke
t for a few gold pieces or keep them for acid traps, explosive runes and so on.
Poison potions: you can dip your weapon into this, or your dagger stack (for ammo dipping limit per
potion seems to be 40s (luckily that is also for dagger heaps so one potion is good for 4 daggers),
or at very worst case you can throw a potion into face of your enemy. You probably should keep these
for times you are in trouble.
And don’t forget poisoned stack usually splits apart after some use. Some of daggers being poisoned,
some none, and poisoned ones usually split into groups of how much poison on them is used. Poison i
s nice thing, but needs time to get job done so you need to run around your enemy for a while. Prefe
rably being at coward tactics.
3. Talent choices:
Early on:
3.1 Heir – gift is poisonous adamantium dagger. Good but not at a cost of three talents in my opinio
n. Compare that to dagger thieves get and you can start complaining.
3.2 Starting with alert and going into early treasure hunter. Items are good, more items - even bett
er. Hard to deny… Might not be very helpful to keep character alive at low levels. At least you can
pick Alert on lv1 to open up path.
3.3 PV line with or without healthy. That has one aim - to help early in game. Surprisingly despite
mithril skin this not a perfect option for dwarfs as they have starting PV and some toughness in the
ir bodies.
3.4 Long stride, quick, moving to quick/lightning shot ASAP (possibly picking alert at 1lv). These h
elp early on and are still nice mid to late game. You can skip these if you a Raven born.
3.5 Orcs and trolls should consider taking Long-lived at start.
I always said pick Long-lived over TH for orcs and trolls, but… recently I changed my mind. Average
orc has max age of 42. 30% is 12 to 13 years (depends on round up). One blessed potion of longevity
gives for an orc 10-27 years in max age (my personal research). Average gain is 18. So if TH gives y
ou one extra potion of longevity that covers Long-lived.
Notice: potions of longevity do not stop working or became less effective if used multiples. I moved
human’s max age over 1000 years in checking this.
Still Long-lived gives immediate benefit, but before you should find yourself in trouble (pool aging
, tension rooms of ghost) TH should give you some potions of longevity.
Verdict: valuable for trolls and orcs but possibly not at a cost of TH.
Conclusion: depends on playstyle. All variants are possible.
Later:
Depends on playstyle again and so on. Personally I value Missile weapon master above Melee master. T
wo reasons – if fighting something tough my assassins rely more on missiles, second – combined with
Assasins chances for criticals I usually feel confident enough in damage output.
Shield talents and Dodger line might also not be very good options late in game. Spear and shield co
mbo gives ridiculous amount of DV anyway.
Potential variant (1 starting talent non orc/troll non raven):

lv1 - Alert, lv3 - Long stride (as in terms of running that gives more than Quick), lv6 – Quick, lv9
- Miser, lv12 – Treasure hunter, lv15 – Good shot, Lv18 – Keen shot, lv21 - Quick shot, lv24 – Ligh
tning shot, lv27- Eagle-eyed, lv30 – main melee weapon affinity, lv33- bow affinity (as they do less
damage than crossbows anyway), lv36 – crossbow affinity, lv39 – wasted missile affinity (probably s
lings or thrown spears), lv42 – Missile weapon master, lv45 – Very Quick, lv48 – Greased Lightning.
It is just a scheme. You might take your own way as bookcasting talents are somewhat good and there
are other fine choices.
4. Assassin class powers:
At level 6 they can create poison from any potion (except for water and fruit juice). Nice one. Keep
s assassin stocked with poison. Usually I have mental problems in using this on unidentified potions
, but in case of emergency I suggest you forget chances of that bubbly potion being PoGA or PoCC.
At level 12 their backstabbing powers get a lot more deadly.

The real question is how much more deadly? Useful with invisibility and sort of stylish.
At level 18 the range of their missile attacks is increased by 30%.

At that time you should have longbow and heavy crossbow. These (and archery and skill in proper weap
ons) give all range you need. Still useful with thrown weapons, including certain tridents.
At level 25 their chance to score critical hits is increased by 20%.

Criticals are good. More criticals – more dead guys in no time.
At level 32 the dodge bonus they gain is doubled.

If your dodge is at 100 this one is supposed to give extra 10points of DV. Sounds good.
At level 40 they become immune to poison.
I wanted to say, “who cares”, but if you meet tension room of quickling queens you’ll be happy. Sayi
ng that I have seen such a rooms three times in my life (two of them resulting in dead characters).
At level 50 they receive a small chance to score instant killing hits.

This chance is based upon the level of the target. It is SMALL chance mainly for LOW level enemies.
Stylish way to exterminate some goblins.
5. Monsters to watch out for:
Nothing too special:
The ones, which corrode, rust weaponry (ochre jellies, rust monsters…). Shoot them or bash with appr
opriate weapon. Stone spear (eternium, artefacts or something you can throw away after a couple turn
s will also do) is good choice, and in case of rust monsters you can simply hide all vulnerable stuf
f in backpack. And don’t throw your daggers at rust monster (I always loved part of throwing rune co
vered trident at rust monster).
Any monsters, which can paralyse, should be considered dangerous. Floating eyes should be shot, ghul
s usually have problems bypassing reasonable DV (at least approaching thirties). Amulet of free acti
on should never leave ones backpack and gaining intrinsic paralysis resistance is very valuable. Luc
kily the only thing able to paralyse in distance is your character with wand of paralysation in hand
s (remember paralysing ray bounces).
Death ray is instant kill if character has not resistance. Even if resisted it might deal a ton of d
amage. From non-uniques only kirins and emperor liches have this dark power. Kirins luckily are rare
and emperor liches. Well, my advice is to avoid them if possible. And don’t forget that stupid anci
ent wrapping has death protection installed.
As dopleganger kings go… wand of fireballs, offensive alchemy or crystals of fire loaded into sling
makes they lifespan short. Don’t fight these in melee, keep distance and defensive tactics.
6. Battle tactics
Late in game I usually find myself spending most time either in very aggressive or berserk. Early on
… depends on situation. Two things two remember – true berserking very early on (I would remove thes
e clothes from drakeling assassin immediately as that allows to reach true berserking in one turn) a
nd running away at coward on low hit points. As manual states that gives you discount on run away mo
vement if your hit points are one third or lower.
7. Assasin skills:
5.1 Alchemy:
As manual says: Alchemy allows you to brew magical potions. To use this skill, you need to collect t
he ingredients required to mix magical potions. It would also be useful to have the recipe for a pot
ion at hand.
You can’t brew anything without recipe except big “boom”. Luckily you get one recipe per 10 points o
f skill. As assassin you always start at exact ten points and first one… is of course trustful poiso
n. At 100 you will gain recipe for gain attributes potion. It might be something like “youth and lon
gevity” or “strength and cure corruption”. Still skill is very good and should be developed early on
.
Some other recipes should be good. My favourite is potion of blindness denying fair fight than you f
eel yourself in trouble. But cheap recipe for extrahealing or making booze out of burb roots and car
rot juice can ease your life quite a lot.
Notice: recipe for potion of blindness will include two non-repetitive ingredients from these (two h
erbs per recipe is not possible) – potions of booze, water, carrot juice, burb root, pepper petal, d
aemon daisy. This one can’t be bad.
Offensive alchemy: if you are wearing ToEF gear (fire immunity/quadruple fire resistance and ring of
ice/all vulnerable stuff behind fireproof blanket) explosions from failed mixtures will not harm yo
u and blast surrounding creatures away. Don’t forget you can mix two herbs, giving your assassin vir
tually unlimited fireballing power.
Also in my opinion power of fireballs decreases as your Alchemy skill raises and increases as your W
illpower goes up.
5.2 Alertness:
Good one. Non wishable. Lets you dodge combat magic (bolts including death ray), makes detect traps
more effective.
Provides some DV bonuses (manual states +4 at skill level 100). It is rumoured that Alchemy combined
with high Alertness gives even higher DV bonus.
Notice: that is one of skills, which is significantly better at 80 and 100, making double or even tr
iple check in your favour.
5.3: Archery
At 100 that gives Assassin +5 to hit and + 2 to damage.

At 60 opens up Lightning shot (very good talent extra –10% for missile weapon energy).
At 80 – Eagle Eyed (good one +3to-hit, +3 to-damage).
Allows shooting in red zone on passed check (basically out of reach without archery).
5.4: Backstabbing:
Manual: This skill increases your chance to hit and your chance to score a critical hit when you att
ack friendly or neutral monsters (or on hostile monsters if they don't notice you).
Put stress on not noticing part. With invisibility and assassin powers that is very nice. Also 80/10
0 type skill.
5.5 Climbing
Good for climbing… actually falling into rift. Grants access to library and potentially some SoCR al
ong with some spellbooks.
5.6 Detect Traps
Helps a lot in… detecting traps. There couple of heavily trapped areas in game. Also sometimes kicks
in automatically, gets bonus from alertness, helps to avoid known traps (just when you try step ove
r that stone block trap…)
5.7 Dodge:
Boost to DV. Double boost after lv32. I’ve heard 20points of DV is awesome. Dodge is somewhat hard t
o train in late game so start pumping it early on.
5.8 Find Weakness:
Awesome. Boosts up chance of criticals. Self trains at some point as skills give you criticals and c
riticals train skill.
5.9 First Aid
I have mixed feelings upon this one. Early on it is good, but at that time skill is usually low. Lat
er on you should get Healing. With good Healing First Aid becomes less interesting. Once you get eno
ugh antidotes and poison resistance you can forget about it. In general very good in case character
gets poisoned. Should be used early on.
5.10 Haggling
You can apply this skill on a shopkeeper. But don’t blame anyone if prices go up. The only time I wo
uld ever use it is early on and being desperate to buy something, which can save my ass. I would giv
e up after first increase. Don’t put your skillpoints here.


5.11 Listening
Affects some game messages – from traps triggered by monsters, tension rooms, hearing roars while ki
lling cats and so on… Not useless, but usually doesn’t need rises. Trains itself for good at arena.
5.12 Literacy
Granted if Learning 10 or more, for grey/high elves. Grants ability to read scrolls, if planning to
read some spellbooks put skillpoints here. Trainable with rereading certain scrolls (ratling pamphle
ts).
5.13 Pick Locks
Sort of usable, especially for locking doors. Keep in mind picking usually triggers in traps. Cursed
locked picks are rumoured to have nasty effects (trap creation?).
5.14 Stealth
Good with backstabbing, good at library for keeping librarian happy. Rumoured to be neutralised by s
ource of light. According manual: “is extremely helpful in ambushing monsters in the wilderness”. If
so should increase chance of avoiding fight on wilderness encounters (uber jackals).
5.15 Two weapon combat
This guide heavily advices to use one weapon combat at all cases.
6. Racial skills:
6.1 Athletics:
Very good as gives both stat increases and speed. Very bad this is a troll skill.
6.2 Bridge Building:
Another troll skill. Good for making bridges, requires hatchet, manual and logs. Most players prefer
making ice bridges, teleport traps instead.
One of methods to cross lake with chaos piranhas.
6.3 Cooking
Hurthling’s skill - considered being good. In my opinion skill is pretty useless, unless used to pre
serve something like displacer beast corpses. First, skill can ruin precious corpses (orb guardians
and a like). Secondary if you want cooking it, you can always do it with offensive alchemy. Or simpl
y keep corpses blessed with holy water.
Requires cooking set.
6.4 Food preservation
Skill of humans, hurthlings, trolls and drakelings. Very good. Helps in corpse preservation (also wo
rks on raw meat, melons, apples), also at higher levels is rumoured to increase chances of monsters
dropping corpse. Since this means more stat increasing, intrinsic giving corpses…
As training goes I suggest keeping low weighted corpses in inventory and buying some apples at Terin
yo (these comes for around 5gp a piece).
6.5 Gardening
Hurtlings racial skill. Can be used on herb seeds to create herbs. Of course you can use holy water
for same effect, but…
If you create herb bush with seed on level which doesn’t support herbs it is… it becomes herb suppor
ting. Any level - Infinite Dungeon (report on google groups), Dwarftown (personal testing). Under ce
rtain circumstances this can be very very useful.
Notice: herbs do appear on sale in Terinyo shop
6.6 Gemmology
Skill given to trolls and gnomes. Lets to identify gems on pick up, grants some gems if walls are du
g up with pickaxe or by monsters.
At high end (100) output of gems is huge. Well, at least enough to cover pickaxe fixing costs for dw
arf friendly races, especially if pickaxe is corroded.
Can be exploited to gain a lot - crystals of power, learning, health, fire, light, darkness.
Keep in mind fire crystals act as spell of improved fireball, darkness gives… darkness and a chance
making some fights one sided (as certain monsters do not fight in darkness). Crystals of learning ca
n permanently increase characters learning if used in blessed status.
6.7 Metallurgy
Skill for orcs and dwarves. Considered to be one of most useless. Can identify ingots on pickup.
6.8 Mining
Skill of dwarves, orcs and gnomes. Decreases time of mining, helps to preserve pickaxes. Not a thing
I would ever miss.
6.9 Music
Skill granted for drakelings. You need to put some work in that skill before it is starts working. I
f you do so you could tame some animals. Potentially this could be useful early on to deal with cats
. Unluckily early on skill is way too low.
And you can always keep a tamed dog (give him some bones) somewhere in dungeon.
6.10 Pick Pockets
Nice skill of gnomes. Gets extra stuff from their pockets into your pockets. Stuff under 10stones. R
ings, scrolls, potions…
Theoretically it has some problems with monster inventory system. Things you can pick from pockets s
hould appear on dead bodies, right?
Grants entrance to thieves guild and some training by master thief.
6.11 Smithing
Dwarven skill. Very good one. Very… boring one. Let’s start. You need hammer (easy), anvil (complica
ted), forge (depends on random luck) and some ingots/ore.
With all in place you can increase your weapons and armour quality. If you pass skill check…
Let’s start again. Probably easiest to obtain forge is in drwarftown (potentially corruption free ar
ea). You need to get stupid dwarven smith out of forgery (which becomes decent storage place). Techn
ically easiest ways are either to teleport him out, or wait until he stands in door way and switch p
ositions (:s) with him. Next take him out of level, cause he will sense you using his forge and clai
m for money.
Once he is out of level you might kill dwarven smith for anvil. But than you will not get pickaxe fi
xes. And smithing needs ore. And ore needs mining (you can use a couple of your pets giant racoons t
amed by music, but I prefer pickaxe). And no you can’t fix pickaxe via smithing. Glod can. You not -
even if being dwarven weaponsmith. You can kill dwarven artificer in Darkforge, but that is very de
adly fight. It is wiser first to mine ore, then to kill dwarven smith.
No you can start melting ore and getting smithing up. (Removing rust also trains skill and is slight
ly faster in game.). Once you done, you can start smithing up your gear.
Notice: with some patience gear can be smithed seriously up to a point of giving positive DV to … a
phase daggers.
6.12 Swimming
Humans and drakelings are good in this. Somewhat useful early on. Don’t forget you may use blessed r
ing of fish to cross water safely. Unluckily that ring is autocursing, so that means one potion of h
oly water each time you put it on. There is also guaranteed means of waterbreathing on lowest level
of rift.
As far as my understanding goes this skill doesn’t help against water breathing attacks.
6.13 Ventriloquism
Another gnomish skill. Very useful if trained. Allows to confuse monsters for couple of turns. Confu
sion duration is stackabale. So 15 passed applies in a row should leave monster confused for 20+ tur
ns. Drawback is obvious you need to be next to monster while applying it.
7. Obtainable skills :
7.1 Bridge Building
Normally obtained via manual reading. Manual and hatchet is gotten after dispatching carpenter (kill
ing or healing). You won’t get manual if carpenter is sacrificed on altar.
Carpenter (if saved) can be used to train this skill. Fastest way is too feed extra hatchets to carp
enter in Terinyo.
Check 6.2.
7.2 Courage
Taught by old barbarian after completing his quest. Very good. Surprisingly assassins receive penalt
ies even when fighting two opponents at a time. Gives minor help in rift climbing.
7.3 Disarm traps
Taught to thieves’ guild members. Useful for…exactly.
Disarming traps gives some minor experience. Personally I do not find myself using it very often.
7.4 Gardening
Unlikely reward for black druid’s quest. This guide heavily advices to take carpenter quest and get
healing installed on your character.
7.5 Healing
Unless you are Candle born or Troll go for this (take carpenter’s quest) early on. In many cases I’d
recommend getting healing chaotic way. Stat drain won’t hinder assassin much and you get decent ski
ll value. Healer is your first target for quest based assassination. He is not tough, just regenerat
es extremely fast. One toss of dagger on berserk should do the job.
You might want to heal carpenter0 first and use some of Jharod’s healing first.
7.6 Herbalism
Likely reward for black druid’s quest. This guide heavily advices to take carpenter quest and get he
aling installed on your character.
Herbalism would allow you to pick herbs faster, identify them on pick up and to know bush status. As
far as identify goes… you vcan spare one scroll if having enough herb samples, keep calculating her
bal lines or if you have enough herbs identify on taste (in such case curaria won’t be Id before dev
il’s rose and cursed curaria fails to cure sickness from time to time so having some food and blesse
d potion of healiong is recommended).
Faster pick up… saves real-life time, of course. Avoiding restarting characters due to their deaths
does the same. I need hit point recovering earlier than herbs.
Bush status. I usually have a pilot square, in which one bush is picked off each time.
Overall – Candle borns might have an idea of getting herbalism, but… Black druid is somewhat dangero
us and shouldn’t be rushed into. Which means I get to herbs faster than I would get Herbalism. And h
ealing can be installed chaotic way very early on. Choose life, choose healing… /end of agitation.
7.7 Law
Taught by sheriff after completing both his quests. Pretty useless for advanced users, might give id
ea that is lawful and that is chaotic to new players. Whatever it says eating humanoids is not chaot
ic act.
7.8 Pick Pockets
Taught to non lawfulls by master thief in bandit village.
Check 6.10.
7.9 Smithing
Taught by Glod for a money.
Check 6.11
7.10 Survival
Falcon borns only. Rumoured to work with stealth on wilderness ambushes.
7.11 Swimming
Taught by baby water dragon. Check 6.12.
7.12 Tactics
Taught by old gladiator in exchange to golden gladius.
Extremely useful. Influences your tactic modifiers. You are more defensive on coward and more brutis
h on berserk. I think golden gladius might be stylish weapon, but… I still need to play character us
ing it.
7.13 Acid Breath

Drakelings special racial ability (invoked via “m”). Acid power depends on character level. As physi
cal ability it uses not power points, but satiation. It does allow manipulating characters satiation
status, regaining some speed by removing satiated status or abusing induced starvation.
Also might be used as backup attack as it works while being on coward.
Obtainable via corruptions.

8. God gifts on crowning:
Cloak of Oman – had once… bonus to dexterity is good. Other than that… with some scrolls cloaks can
be made better.
Death's Blade – troll assassin with that should look ultrastylish. Good damage output even for two h
anded weapon. Total lack of slaying powers.
Emerald Dagger – hard to deny, this is decent weapon for assassin. Stylish poisoned humanoid slayer.
Executor – orcish/dwarvish assassins dream. Supergood despite cursing.
Farslayer – most decent crossbow ever.
Kinslayer – unsure, I have seen that once, but autocursing scared me off. Still humanoid slayer. You
just need to have potion/scroll shop somewhere, or at least keep good relations with your diety.
Racial gifts:
Elves – Sun’s messenger. Looks good.
Dwarves – Hammerhead. Good for mining as far as bashing goes… Loook up for better stuff.
IV. Equipment
1. Melee weapons
At start probably dagger (with exception for trolls at least). Later on switch for orcish spear to g
ain some DV.
Later on as you get DV from Dodge/Alertness, smithing any decent weapon you find.
Decent weapons:
Kickass artifact (emerald dager, executor, skullcrusher, probably kinslayer, minotaur axe) = higher
metal weapon of penetration (weapon class doesn’t matter)>higher metal weapon with huge damage outpu
t (eternium of devastation, stops dreaming here)= non higher metal of pentration (phase dagers inclu
ding).
First thing - before I invest skill marks I want to make sure my weapon doesn’t dissolve in acid tra
p or by fire lizard’s breath. After that I want to go around PV with my assassin’s criticals. If I c
an’t get around I want to smash that thing with something big. Simple logic.
As slaying artefacts versus weapons of penetration go… Slayers guarantee critical hits and assassins
are quite capable doing more damage than monsters PV. On other hand they have good chance for criti
cals anyway.

After getting Dodge bonus doubled (lv32) I might consider giving away shield. Good guaranteed altern
ative is rune-covered trident. It gives DV through Dexterity boost and is polearm…
And I do not like basher for Assassins… mainly from roleplay reasons. C’mmon they are not someone ru
nning with big weapon and a battle roar…
Weapon class evaluation:

a) Unarmed fighting
Rating: assassin without weapon? Go ant steal a dagger from some goblins.
Good weapons: Brass knuckles preferably combined with corrupted thorns on your hands. (doable, I kno
w)
b) Daggers and Knives
Rating: depends on weapon, probably you will start with this, gets some style points
Good weapons: dagger of death, phase dagger, Emerald Bite, Needle and Sting (almost never used them)
, smithed ego dagers and orcish knives (penetration, devastation). If obsessed with daggers you can
try knives of endurance or bloody orcish daggers.
You’ll probably have lv 6 (including later bonus from gladiator) in daggers before you upgrade your
starting weapon. Leave marks there they are until and if you see any worth weapon. Don’t forget crow
ning gifts.
Regarding twins: by the time you have them there is very little game left. Yes, they are stylish, bu
t if we speak about duel wielding I’d prefer two phase daggers.
c) Clubs and Hammers

Rating: low, you see that artifact listed bellow, you go for this. If no… well assassin looks better
bare handed in my opinion.
Good weapons: Skullcrusher, ego stuff (penetration)
d) Maces and Flails

Rating: awful, unstylish, unspectacular, uninteresting…
Good weapons: ego weapon (penetration)
e) Swords
Rating: low
Good weapons: sword of sharpness (people tend to love it), ego weapons, Kinslayer(?).
I need to try Kinslayer one day. As sword of sharpness goes… I do remember old saying “if you haven’
t got better weapon before ToEF, you might as well reroll the character.”
If you have a character with Kinslayer let me know about it, okay?
f) Axes
Rating: low
Good weapons: Executor, ego weapons
You get executor or mithril axe of penetration you go in this class. Possible crowning gift.
g) Whips
Rating: in style points? I like them. Practically? You are kidding???
Good weapons: whip of the snake, penetration weaponry
Whips of the snake --- let me think. One per wish, no slaying powers, no resistance to fire, acid. S
o you take your assassin with dual wielded whips of snakes into blue dragon caves?
I did once. Had to finish game like tree loving pacifist, teleporting most guys out of my way on D50
with well boozed wand. Never again.
h) Pole arms
Rating: awesome
Good weapons: ego weapons (milking down orcish scorchers), Wyrmlance (more backup weapon), rune-cove
red trident, Trident of the Red Rooster
You should find some good orcish spear while milking scorchers, hill orcs and alike.
Spear traps do not give ego weapons.
i) Two-handed weapons
Rating: unstylish but powerful
Good weapons: ego weapons, axe of the minotaur emperor, Death’s Blade (?)
Okay, Cow Axe is guaranteed. Just if going for two-handed weapons I prefer rune-covered trident.
Choose this if you playing troll. Don’t play trolls as assassins.
j) Staves
Rating: questionable
Good weapons: ego weapons, quicksilver quarterstaff
Quiksilver is decent for an archer, but for assassin… damage output 6d3+5. I still prefer rune-cover
ed trident.
2. Missile weapons
We assassins are not foolish enough to go bashing every mob, are we?
You start with thrown daggers (okay, hurtlings might go with boomerang). I’d keep them and orcish kn
ives. Making two stacks at very least. You see if a heap of daggers rusts they rust all. And they un
rust by one a piece.
I wouldn’t hurry into short bows as it is unwise to get stuck with cursed one. So you move to arrows
/quarrels after finding altar or at least having good heap of stackable bows (supposed to be uncurse
d ones).
Don’t forget slaying ammunition. Assassin with “Farslayer” loading in quarrels of humanoid slaying i
s very nice picture for me. Don’t forget all these missiles of thunder, darkness, as they might be v
ery useful to stop someone chasing you.
Except of bows and crossbows I wouldn’t waste time on anything else.
I suppose crossbow will be your third missile weapon to train, but it is worth that.
There are rare daemon slaying sling bullets, but I would leave slings away, even if playing hurtling
. Assassins are not archers. Bow and crossbow is more than enough.
May be a bit of thrown spears. But again you better smash them with that trident.
3. Armour
Nothing new. Get your PV fixed early and keep working on DV.
Somewhere mid game you should choose which way DV or PV to go. Stylewise DV look better, but 100/20
or 20/100 is both good. Believe me even 60/60 does quite well.
Remember Darkforge is famous for armour room and smithing is good way to improve stuff. Alternativel
y you can keep buying off scroll shop. Normally scrolls should be used on non smithable parts of you
r inventory (seven league boots being prime example).
a) Rings
As put on and see result tactics go… I would say no at least until you find altar. Skipping rare stu
ff (like weakness and doom) worst thing is cursed ring of damage. So it is advisable to check rings
via left finger if needed.
Early on: anything you can get. Speed, blessed ring of damage (right finger), mental stability are n
ice.
Mid to late: ring of the High Kings, probably ring of slaying, keeping in backpack blessed ring of i
ce, rings of invisibility, regeneration, mental stability/clear mind.
Dream stuff: ring of master cat and ring of immunity.
b) Amulets
This time I would say yes to put identify tactics. The only harmful thing is amulet of hunger and th
ese are AoLS rarity level.
Early on: anything you get, hopefully not cursed one, remember glass amulet gives light.
Mid to late: ankh, but in reality I found myself wearing something to affect my alignment most of ti
me. If you like being chaotic you can throw away that marble piece called amulet of order.
Backpack: petrification, death resistances, free action, balance. Stashed away some willpower, mana,
appearance boosting amulets, water breathing (if you have one).
Dreams: Preserver. Renereation+luck+paralysis restriction...
Blessed amulets of life saving. Good choice if you have doubts of battle outcome.
c) Helmets
Early: metal cap, orcish helmet, bone helmet or anything getting good price in shop before big ident
ify.
Mid to late: Smithed higher metal gear, smithed crowns of lightning, regeneration.
Backpack: helm of mental stability (confusion resistance).

Dreams: Crown of leadership , very well smithed gear from above.
d) Girdles
Early: metal girdle, girdle of carrying, strength.
Mid to late: Smithed high metal, enhanced girdle of giant strength
Dreams: platinum girdle – not really an option, waterproof girdle of giant strength [+6, +6] {St+15}
- requires ring of ice to function proper.
If wishing I’d rather choose ring of weakness not GoGS. Nope I am not on drugs. Ring lowers strength
so you can abuse things like ogre armies or mined out stone giants to get lots of natural strength.
This doesn’t burn away easily.
e) Cloaks
Early: hooded cloak unless you run in any 30stone or 20stone non-light cloak.
Mid to late: any scroll-enhanced cloak, cloaks of protection, defence.
Backpack: cloak of invisibility (good but refuses to hide behind gauntlets)
Dreams: very enhanced cloak of appearance.
f) Bracers
Early on: anything you find. There are no harmful bracers.
Mid to late: enhanced bone bracers, smithed up bracers of resistance, regeneration, speed.
Dreams: bracers of war.
g) Gauntlets
Do not put on any unidentified gauntlets of 10stones. You’ve been officially warned about gauntlets
of peace. Playing with gauntlets is not very wise as cursed gloves stop your ability to exchange rin
gs. (As cursed girdle doesn’t allow to exchange armour and so on.)
Start: starting gloves into some coloured gauntlets.
Mid to late: gauntlets of strength, smithed dragon hide gauntlets, enhanced alchemistic gloves (if l
acking resistances)
Backpack: elemental gauntlets, thick gauntlets (poisoned hands)
Dreams: Ironfist, but rustproof [+6, +6] {St+5} gauntlets of strength are also very good.
h) Boots
Start: anything with good price at shop, heavy boots.
Mid to late: smithed high metal, seven league boots, boots of speed
Dreams: well enhanced seven league boots.
i) Shields:
DV is main thing as higher DV allows higher DV bonus from skill. Somewhere midgame final choice in s
hield or no shield has to be made.
Dreams: Protector, if not well smithed tower eternium shield.
j) Body armor
Early: anything useful with PV.
Mid to late: high metal smithed, preferably with suffixes, prefixes (of life, coloured)
Backpack: AMW- death resistance, see invisble, cold immunity.
Dreams: Nature’s Companion, smithed moloch’s armour (if going for PV), well smithed dragon scale mai
ls.
Well, there are things like chaos knight entourage in wilderness. Dealing with this usually provide
some eternium plate armour. So they can be abused to gain something like eternium plate armour of he
alth.
6. Items to wish for
- "Amulet of life saving" opens ultra, gives six blessed scrolls of chaos resistance, blessed spellb
ook of teleportation.
- "scrolls of chaos resistance" I found enough means in the game, but that’s me. And make sure you u
sed wish for sage.
- "Concentration" making sort of dark paladin. Very good choice. - "scrolls of education", if you wa
nt to get lots of new skills (bless them!)
- "magical writing sets" – self education via scrolls is sort of good.
#NAME?
- “rings of weaknes” – strength is good

- “phase daggers” – bypassing PV is good
- “pairs of seven league boots” – decent thing.


V. Killing big guys


General tips:
That is assassin’s trade, isn’t it?
Luckily not being noble paladins or powerful magicians Assassins should not have any stupid ideas ab
out proper tactics or fair fights. Let me say other way: fair fight – they are dead, you - unscratch
ed.
So you better… make fight one-sided.
Common methods:
a) Absolute immobilization – there two ways either abusing da

rkness as some monsters do not fight without light, or using wand of paralysation. Paralysed monster
s do not fight back or cast spells and so on. Natural regeneration stays on.
Bright side is there are no resistant to paralysis monsters all nasties from mimics to emperor lich
might be paralysed.
b) Partial immobilization – monster remains capable of walkin

g (and attacking) in random direction, stops casting, is unable to perform ranged attacks. There a f
ew of ways to do so: potions of confusion, blindness (obtainable via Alchemy), cursed potions of inv
isibility (cheap option), wand/spell of stunning.
It is possible to throw potion with sling. Putting potion in missile slot ant WHEN putting sling in
missile weapon slot. That doesn’t give extra range, unless… You have knowledge in slings. Lv3 in ski
lls giving extra range is applied to potions on top once this is happening other bonuses like archer
y suddenly are applicable too. Slings of long shot do not seem to have any advantages in such case.
c) Webbing – similar to a) except monster can break webs and
that moment is not possible to prognose. It is possibly better not to shoot wands directly at monste
r but lead it into webbed area. Webs are susceptible to fire and acid.
d) Entrance denial – using locked doors, walls and area spell
s/offensive alchemy. Alternatively if you are fighting emperor lich and way is blocked by fire lizar
ds you can use offensive alchemy while fire lizards serve as living wall.
Using poison on bosses usually is clever idea. Although I doubt that you can arrange acute blood poi
soning (severe loss of hit points due to multiple poisoning hits) for monsters that is still helpful
. You can try potions of sickness, as they should lower opponents hitpoints in general. That might n
ot work on high level stuff.
Particular monsters:
1. Kranach
Depends on what gear you managed to get so far. If you got yourself to lv5 in small cave with no loo
t…basically all you need is too land a couple of poisoned daggers on him and run a couple circles ar
ound on coward. That suggests you have speed above 100 and probably long stride.
If not… Try taking some raiders down with thrown daggers and bash some away with berserk tactics. La
st thing you need is getting surrounded. Remember these starting prayers.
Good news are that gang leaves load of arrows and sometimes long bow. And some cashable corpses. Any
combat wands or drakelings acid breath makes job lot easier.
Kranach itself is quite dangerous. Possibly in distance more than in close combat. Keeping his arrow
path obstructed with some random mobs might be a good idea.
Raider lord is wishable.
2. Keethrax
You were told not to do so, but… it is Assassin’s guide. It’s probably earliest time you meet stat d
rainer (apart from undead who need at least to push some hits in). So melee is not recommended. He c
asts darkness so light source is essential. Guidebook has two statements on him “immune to elemental
attacks”(monster section) and “He is vulnerable to acid, webs and magic missiles, but little else i
n the way of magic” (section about Terinyo). As my memories tell me second one is correct.
Should be shot in general. In raged combat can shoot sling bullets and cast magic missile so having
good skill in missiles and some healing potions is recommended. In my opinion should be done later,
while revisiting initial area.
3. Jharod, the healer
Except for good regeneration complete pushover. Use Berserk tactics, to avoid alignment drop you mig
ht try aiming behind him. If so shoot first at coward as killing him hostile is more preferable.
3. Hotzenplotz
Melee is not bright idea, as he has high damage him. So check his speed before fight starts. Shoot h
im or zap with wands.
If needed run away to wilderness. Just realize where you will get when you will return and try to ex
it somewhere far away. Yet another place to use poisoned ammunition. I wouldn’t be overexcited to me
lee Grunge and Munge either.
Luckily he is not hostile before attacking and will patiently wait until you feel ready.
4. Rehetep
Hopefully you already started smithing and done herb farming. I suggest drinking blessed potion of i
nvisibility before going up. Mummies will see you, but most of random buggers hopefully no.
Brute force will get job done, especially with blessed weapon. Wand of fireballs from Thrundarr is g
ood. Offensive alchemy, if you can secure yourself and equipment, can do wonders. I’d try to save un
dead slaying ammo for later. Remember you do not need to finish that gorgon without petrification re
sistance. Kill Rehetep, get his artefacts, and descend.
5. Nonnak and Griff


Well, bless you weapon before going into here. Upper portion of graveyard is simple mindless bashing
with some movement to avoid being surrounded.
Lower part - use detect traps skill. Take invisibility potion near final chamber. Area based fire at
tacks (wand of fireballs, crystals of fire, offensive alchemy) again do wonders here.
As Griff goes it is usually possible to sneak on his grave and pour some water. Or you can teleport
behind him. Alternatively use blessed undead slaying ammo. Brute force is not wisiest idea.
For Nonnak I would recommend cold resistance (preferably double – rings, white dragon gauntlets, amu
let of cold heart) or AMW. Take him down with fire. After he is off retreat to tunnel, finish off su
mmoned mobs. (removing items of invisibility is advisable here).
Get artefacts, go up (it is usually teleport trap under elemental gauntlets so take shortcut).
6. Grave robbing
Some guys unluckily died before assassin got chance to slay and loot them. Luckily they left their g
raves.
Regular graves do not give any problems, but “Greater treasure” ones are dangerous. Mainly because t
hey spawn Liches, including Emperors and Kings. Advice?
Be ready for that. First you need death resistance and a few hundred hit points in case of getting h
it with death ray. Invisibilty is also helpful since all Liches are summoning bastards and most of t
hey summons don’t see invisible. Paralysation resistance wouldn’t hurt, but I guess your neck will b
e occupied with amulet of balance. Since I wouldn’t advice take Emperor or King in melee confusion r
esistance might appear useful.
Dig grave via wand, as you won’t need to climb out of it. Because you usually get first move, you ca
n step away and do that should be done. That means either taking your target with blessed undead sla
ying ammo or using fire based area attack or simply running for your life.
I would keep something like scroll of teleportation readied in case of emergency escape.
7.Arena
There are two main problems here (except for 20+fights) cats and possible meeting with Li-Hon-Kay.
As cats goes teleport trap (or wand, or spell), corruption trap, potion of exchange (even cursed) or
potion of raw chaos are good. Alternatively you might generate pet/companion inside arena (scroll o
f familiar summoning) use it to dispose cats, level it up a bit on your opponents. Pet should give y
ou some extra breathing room while facing famous Ogre Magi.
Li-Hon-Kay - each time you are doing 20th fight, you should be prepared to meet him. Ancient mummy w
raping makes fight very favourable. If you choosed to fight before be at be at least cold resistant,
take some healing with you (blessed spenseweed is probably best). You can locate him by trying to n
ame empty squares. If you get someone already has name type of message, well, you found him.
8. Snake from Beyond
You should remember advices above. Use invisibility, use fire based attacks (boozed wand of fireball
s, crystals of fire, offensive alchemy) on all those water grues, daemons.
Take care of chaos servants as they see invisible. You might shoot them using water barrier. Dig up
inner temple, removing third column with (blessed) wand of digging. Wake up Snake with something lik
e wand of far slaying for 1 if necessary. Put her on your chase and isolate from all these daemons a
nd grues.
Shoot her, zap her. If in corridor leading to temple using arrows of darkness, thunder is not a bad
idea. If you are lucky with recipes you might spare some potions of blindness or curse some potions
of invisibility.
Locked doors and wand of fireballs won’t work (I somehow doubt you have enough Willpower anyway, but
..), that stupid snake can smash doors
Overall that is not so difficult fight. Snake has not ranged attack, spells. If you have problems ou
trunning her, lead Snake out of level and use teleportation. All regular tricks (poisoning your arro
ws, enhancing your speed, paralysing or stunning her with wands) are welcomed.
And don’t forget to pick up corpse and deliver it to druid.
9. Skeletal King
Remember ice limit is 2000 stones.

Also the door is trapped. In most cases Skeletal King will trigger trap, but if not… Well, apply Det
ect Traps on that door.
Confusion resistance is essential, unless you like applying climbing or clearing ears for half etern
ity (these actions would simple consume turns, keeping your confused feet away from piranhas).
Fire attacks before leaving ice bridge are not recommended. Blessed undead slaying ammo does miracle
s, but might be hard to retrieve from lake.
Rmemeber ring is not in skeleton’s pocket. You can always toss potion of blindness at Skeletal King
while he is out of building and off the bridge and when run, get ring and leave. Very unstylish, but
healthy.
10. Kherab, the Dwarven Artificer
The only reason to fight him is anvil. Guy is tough… High hit points, high PV, immune to fire (and A
lchemy), 3 attacks per round each being in eighties (non critical), fast regeneration.
Best way to kill him is using humanoid slaying ammo while standing at some pool. Luckily you have a
square, which is blocked off by water. If taken in melee should be blinded/paralysed. In such case e
ver use weapon bypassing PV or something with exceptional damage output.
Kherab regularly drops heavy crossbow but never uses it. Fights in darkness.
11. Ancient Chaos Wyrm


To tackle tower at first place you need good fire resistance. As wyrm goes shock resistance is advis
ed (preferably char should be intrinsic resistant to fire and shock, wearing elemental gauntlets and
ring of the High Kings). Confusion resistance is very important (preferably helm of mental stabilit
y leaving one finger for ring of ice) since Wyrm loves to confuse his pray.
Invisibility (I guess via potion) is nice as allows to dodge some elementals, daemons and grue. Afte
r you dig in the temple, take off chaos servants, who see invisible, and make Wyrm follow you into c
orridor. It is advised not to stay in straight line with wyrm to avoid unnecessary blasts.
Once out of temple you can blast him with wands stopping his advance by a buffer of fire daemons, wh
o seems to dodge more bolts than Wyrm. Alternatively you should pralyze/blind/stun/confuse him. Idea
lly you should finish him off with dragon slaying ammo but these are rare at that point of game, so
direct bashing is probably unavoidable.
As Wyrm is immune to fire and can smash doors offensive alchemy is out of use here.
A healing set should include at least few blessed major healing potions and good piety.
12. Bunny master
The guy itself is not a problem, bunnies are. Took him off as soon as possible. If bunnies get out o
f control… offensive alchemy and boosted willpower should get the job done.
13. Cat Lord
Preferably you should avoid this fight as ring of master cat is very good. At very least keeping num
ber of killed cats low is wise.
First put on means of seeing invisible. Second… you may start webbing extra space right away leaving
yourself path to retreat. Taking cat lord out of level is wise at least, as this allows instant esc
ape via teleportation.
The cat lord also is very fast and hits hard, depending on how many cats you killed. Standard method
s of immobilization works nicely as humanoid slaying ammo do. If you are short on these there is a b
ig casino shop few levels above, which does restock.
14. Kherab’s quests
There is no real reason to do them. But for assassin temptation is high…
14.1 Guth’Alak
First problem is not making slaughterhouse of the village. Best way is to turn druid hostile without
attacking or pickpocketing him. Probably best is to zap wand of stunning or paralyzation at him. If
you miss you got the job done. If yes wait until effect wears off.
Druid has under 100 hitpoints, is immune to fire, ice, shock and can cast confusion and magic missil
e. Either bash him down or zap with wand of acid.
14.2 Thrundarr
If you don’t want to fight against dwarftown you will need to turn him hostile (same as above) and t
ake out of level, as killing dwarfs in dwarftown is not bright idea.
Elder itself is low on hitpoints and not best fighter in the world, except… high PV, expect 100+. Ph
ase daggers or weapons of penetration take him off quickly. Humanoid slaying ammo and direct bashing
might be ineffective as criticals do not by pass PV.
15. Yulgash, the Master Summoner
The guy itself is not big problem. Place itself is nasty and summons… I’ve seen Emperor Liches there
, so you better don’t give him extra time.
The place is crackling with electricity and shock bolts from air elementals are not very helpful. Si
nce item destruction is very possible things like seven league boots and girdle of giant strength is
probably not coming in. Most of your carried stuff should be left outside (probably out of level).
You should carry necessary things, back up copies of necessary things, indestructible materials and
total crap to feed RNG.
Outside is not a big problem especially with invisibility. I wouldn’t clear all the monsters in oute
r ring as that may trigger new monster generation and since depth is reasonable… you don’t want extr
a dopleganger king in this fight, do you?
As inner temple goes… First you should be invisible. Second you must stop Yulgash from summoning as
soon as possible. Well, repeatedly zapping wand of stunning/paralyzation with boosted Willpower as s
oon as secret doors open is bright idea, but… In most cases some stupid vapor rat stumbles on fireba
ll traps in fornt of temple and that usually wakes up. Practically that means once you go through se
cret door a couple summoning rounds are already done and monsters do not stand on default positions.
Good part is you probably can navigate your way to Summoner via easier monsters. Get him immobilize
d and go berserk. Do to trap nonsense I wouldn’t step on altar ever in my characters life.
16. Ancient Stone Beast
Bad news – our trustful invisibility is not useful here as most monsters see invisible. All these el
ementals and grues pass walls. All these have high hit points, high PV. Elementals do regenerate. Ha
ve I already said I hate this place? Weapons of penetration, phase daggers really shine here. But my
personal prefernce is offensive alchemy. Just take good heap of herbs, boost willpower and let them
surround you (very easy in here). And start making failures in Alchemy. As said in skills departmen
t you need quadruple fire resistance and some means to save your inventory.
Of course you can take Elementals out of level in small groups and slash with sword of sharpness. If
that is your style…/end of irony.
Once you reach Stone Beast (luckily in most cases it comes toward you) there are more bad news. The
only slaying ammo, which works here are generic slaying and penetration. Construct slaying ammo does
nothing extra than a simple arrow. PV is around 60 and bastard is regenerating. Of course you can k
eep yourself in coward and keep producing herbal blasts.
Since this is not spellcasting boss without high speed, immobilizing it is nice but not really neces
sary.
17. Nuurag-Vaarn, the Chaos Archmage


Once again you need to fight your way to a bastard holding orb. Bad part sneak attack is not an opti
on as chaos wizards and their summons see invisible. What? I haven’t told you got 18 nasty summoners
behind initial forces. Oh, sorry…
Before you start smashing poor chaos folk check your inventory. Confusion resistance is absolutely n
ecessary as Archmage is very capable of confusing your char and tham draining your precious stats. I
would recommend double confusion resistance (helm and ring of mental stability for example. Single
source even with high willpower might be not enough. You can ask gods to clear your head, but that s
houldn’t be done too often.
Death resistance is necessary as toying with instant kill is not funny. Doubling it (let’s say AMW+b
racers of resistance) reduces hit point loss, but with high DV and Alertness you might skip second s
ource.
Light is highly recommended. Archmage will periodically cast darkness. You can keep recasting light
(if mage hating eyes are gone) or zapping wands of light, but this way might be painful.
As secret door opens up mana temple Assassin must make choice. You can either fight at doorway or go
inside with blasting rage.
Doorway chop method: well basics are simple, you stand in corridor and fight one guy per time. Lure
Archmage out of temple into trapped way around it, immobilize and tear him away. Fighting without im
mobilization is not recommended as he is stat drainer and due to high efficiency confusion attacks a
rchery is not very safe. He is susceptible to humanoid slaying ammo.
Some things to make job faster: as you open temple you might want to wake up Artchmage with wand of
far slaying for 1. Aim it west (unluckily that also wakes chaos wizards behind him). And if you have
straight line at chaos wizards zap any offensive wand. Once summoners are gone the job will go fast
er.
Maniacal instructions for herbal attack: basic is simple and opposite to first method. Get your Will
power high, sneak as deep in temple as you can and start herbal Alchemy (take care of your resistanc
es and stuff). Potions of boost willpower are awesome. Archmage itself is immune to fire so you will
need to deal with him same way as described above.
I would recommend herbal attack. It is faster and funny method.


18. Enemies of heroes aspiring for ultra ending:
18.1 Srraxxarrakex, ancient blue wyrm
Invisibility is somewhat helpful as it shakes off baby and regular blue dragons. Remaining ancient d
ragons and wyrms should not be a big problem for high level char, just ne highly resistant to shock
and do not stand at dead end with three dragons breathing lightning with rebounces at you.
As you enter lv5 of caves detect where archenemy is and start clearing your way in that direction.
Srraxxarrakex itself can be shot with dragon slaying ammo. Since that is rare thing you might want t
o keep dragon slayers on stairs to blue dragon caves and make extra trip to get them. Stair to stair
teleportation is preferable method of travelling.
Immobilizing wyrm is good idea as this at least stops him from healing spells. IF you are planning t
o melee him take some major healing potions with you as guy has three attacks per round and can scor
e some criticals on you.
18.2 Sharad-Waador
There is no need to kill him, but if you got some dragon slaying left from visiting blue dragon cave
s… it is not bad investment in terms of loot and experience.
Should be shot, as melee vs. karmic creature is not recommended.

18.3 Filk
Hopefully he is not very deep. Killing him is not a problem, getting a touch on him… He is listed as
karmic anyway. Area spells from wand of fireballs to herbal blast will get job done in no time.
If you miss him in ID, he is probably possible to catch via random encounter.
18.4 Emperor moloch
Extreme PV to a point you get messages of criticals not getting through. Weapon of penetration, phas
e daggers are of great use. Should be dealt with fast as area is heavily corrupting.

18.5 Keriax, the multi-headed chaos dragon
Should me immobilized on first opportunity. Wyrm is capable of confusion, poisoning, stat draining a
nd dangerous bolts containing ranged corruptions attacks.
Wisest is to teleport into the circle throw a potion of blindness, confusion, cursed invisibility an
d take him off with dragon slayers.
I will repeat, do whatever you like – paralyze, stun, blind him – but don’t be helpless target for h
is bolts. They do high damage and are highly corrupting.
18.6 ElDeR cHaOs GoD (Andor Drakon)
He is invisible, able to cast death ray, stat drain, paralyse (last two if you stand next to him), s
ummons purple jellies, likes casting darkness.
Some immobilization methods(stun, blinding, confusion) are not recommended as Andy has teleportitis
(or atunment to astral planes) and you better hope he can control his localisation as chasing his ra
ndom teleports all over chaos plane are not funny.
He is vulnerable to humanoid and daemon slaying ammo. Bashing him is not very bad idea as you should
have boosted stats anyway and he is last opponent in the game. This means you can piss on stat drai
ns.
Overall he is not very dangerous itself as far as you are resistant to death, paralysis and have mea
ns of light and some corruption removal. I would put stress on last point as most guys who lost beco
me purple jellies. AoLS doesn’t help in such cases.
19. Water cave
Big point is looting. That should be done in darkness, as most nasties here (big mother dragon, drag
on turtles and so on) do not fight in darkness. Simply check items, mark somewhere their locations,
darken whole area and take you stuff. Teleport away.
If you want to be a dragon slayer… I told you she doesn’t fight back in darkness unless scared and c
ornered. So get next to her switch to high damage gear (probably go for natural berserker bonuses) g
et darkness.
You might want to zap couple wands of poison/paralyzation. Probably you miss, but if not… Remember s
he regenerates and has good PV.
If she panicks… leave the cave. Chasing is too dangerous. Well, you cab try getting her back by pick
ing item getting her teleport next to you and putting some dragon sklaying arrows in her big green s
pine, but don’t blame me if you get washed for 300hp.
20. D50
I can’t say much more than it is written in guidebook.
Sometimes side corridors with levels are undigable.
In general you should remember your goal is to close gate (pull levers and asure they remain closed
– preferably by destructing them with that wand) or to gate through chaos gate. Assassin’s are not m
ade to fight with crowds stylewise. Gamewise offensive alchemy is crowd control, but that is not int
entional feature in my opinion.
Pacifistic walkthrough for d50: get in one side corridor with well charged wand of teleportation, bo
ost speed, teleport anything out of you way to lever, teleport stuff around that. Step back luring b
alor from the lever, teleport on lever, pull it and destroy. Repeat with other one. Teleport on stai
rs and exit.
If you plan making big fight… Well, clean both side branches. Pull both levers, wait a bit. You will
get special message as one of balors teleports on lever (usually top one, which possibly must be ou
t of sight line). Kill balor. Pull lever, wait for another one, this way you can take 7 balors aroun
d big one easily.
VI. Assassin’s and spells
This section will assume your assassin hasn’t got Concentration. Because if it has… you have all spe
lls at your disposal.
Game manual has great section on spells, so check it.
Keep in mind increasing spell effectiveness reduces need in power points. Bookcasting talents are gr
eat if you are planning to cast from books… I wouldn’t, but that’s again me. Do not forget bookcasti
ng does not increases spell power, but doesn’t use up either spell memory or spellbook.
Bookcasting usually costs triple power points in Adom 1.1.1 (I recall somewhere in game it states 4x
PP, but that is wrong). It also takes 3000 energy points, luckily they are calculated after you get
spell. So if you bookcast Teleportation you get to safe place and when you spend time watching at mo
bs.
Basically assassin’s look at spells is to get some assistance if things get tight. Oh, yes, bookcast
ing includes reading so… it is good way to train Literacy.
No surprise if things get tight your spell number one is Teleportation (should cost around 20pp on r
egular days). Absolutely awesome if combined with teleport control. Gets you in or gets you out as f
ar as level have no special restrictions. You can get guaranteed spellbook my saving Khelevaster, bu
t there is also guaranteed wand of teleportation on hidden stairs to Assassin guild.
Darkness – quite a bunch of monsters do not fight in darkness. Very cheap and relatively easy to lea
rn, can be replaced by scrolls and crystals.
Strength of Atlas – it can kill you by timing out, but overall decent spell taking care of your carr
ying capacity. The one which should be bookcasted and possibly kept casted all the time.
Light – easiest to learn. Eases some issues with dark rooms. As cheapest spell,l light probably can
be used via bookcasting to train Literacy.
Healing spells – doesn’t hurt but without Concentration I would not rely on them to much, herb farmi
ng is probably better.
Knock – by the time you get book and learning in place you should have a collection of keys anyways.
As training perception goes… carrot juice is plentiful.
Stun ray – with some efficiency and high willpower can be very useful. Is relatively easy to learn,
so if you can bless the book and read it. Helps to make battles one-sided. I like this.
Minor attack spell – you might want one or two in case you do not want or cannot attack in melee or
shoot. Probably magic missile or/and burning hands. Both get better with some efficiency and willpow
er. MM cannot be resisted and burning hands nearly always hits the target.
Ball spells – way to hard to learn without concentration. And they costs quite a lot. You can pick s
ome late in game to ease some situations, but in most cases using Alchemy on offence will get the jo
b done.
Bless – if you use this use on yourself.
Slow monster – basically also use on yourself. Low speed is direct way to increase experience gain.
Invisibility – usable, but is somewhat hard to learn. Potions of invisibility are common enough anyw
ay.
Cure disease/neutralize poison – I prefer herbs instead.
Web – not that good as Stun ray, but still very welcome addition early to mid game. Wands of webbing
are also common stuff.
Farsight – a bit harder to learn, but gives extra range. Very very useful while on cavernous levels.
Helps to find and shoot down some nasty guys.
Magic map/Identify/Remove curse… useful but both expensive and hard to learn. Without Concentration
you can skip these until late game and even when you won’t finf yourself using them very often. (Rem
ove curse and Kinslayer sounds like good combination for me).

Guide to Being a Barbarian
The next class that I shall talk about is, yet again, one of the easier classes to play in general:
the Barbarian. If the Archer is the king of missile weapons, you could call the Barbarian king of me
lee weapons. No one can surpass the barbarian in raw strength and brute force. They are quite enjoya
ble to play, and I recommend playing a barbarian (especially an orcish one) to any beginner - though
they do offer some challenges later on.
I shall keep the structure of my Archer guide for this one, of course in a modified (and hopefully i
mproved) version:
I. Manual Information - The most basic stuff, reprinted in place of an introduction.

II. Starting up the Barbarian - All there is to consider when deciding which kind of Barbarian to pl
ay.
III. Playing style - Brute force or no brute force, that is the question.
IV. Equipment - What you should use, what you should get
V. Barbarian vs. Boss - Hints on how to beat your most dangerous opponents throughout the game.
I. Manual information
BARBARIAN -- Barbarians hail from the harsh northern lands of Ancardia, from the roughest mountain p
eaks, the wildest hills and the most remote forests. What they lack in equipment, they more than equ
alize with their great strength, enormous toughness and deadly weaponry. Barbarians are very well ex
perienced in the arts of battle and are well prepared to cope with the dangers of the wilderness.
Barbarians are trained in the following skills: Athletics, Climbing, Dodge, First Aid, Herbalism, St
ealth, Survival, Swimming, Two Weapon Combat, and Woodcraft.
High-level barbarians are fearsome fighters. At level 6 they learn to deliver mighty blows that caus
e double damage (for the cost of 2500 energy points). At level 12 moving costs but 750 energy points
. At level 18 they can deliver tremendous blows that cause triple damage (for the cost of 4000 energ
y points). At level 25 they start to gain +1d4 additional hit points per level. At level 32 barbaria
ns gain a one-time bonus of +3 to strength and toughness. At level 40 they gain a +10 damage bonus w
ith each melee attack when fighting as a true berserker (which basically means that they have to fig
ht naked, e.g. without any armor, and switching the tactics rating to the appropriate setting). At l
evel 50 melee attacks take up but 800 energy points when fighting as a true berserker.
IMPORTANT: Note that both the mighty and the tremendous blow count only for the first blow, even if
the character is delivering a series of blows (because he wields more than one weapon, etc.).
II. Starting up the Barbarian.
1. Starsigns
Barbarians love the Dragon and Sword starsigns for their weapon skill training boni. They also find
Raven and Candle quite nice, because Healing and Speed are useful to anyone, if only to run away and
fight another day. Candle has the added bonus of providing an extra talent - most Barbarians can ma
ke good use of their talents. Raven, on the other hand, enables you to get a certain powerful artifa
ct weapon a lot earlier than Barbarians of other starsigns. If you get one of these four starsigns,
your Barbarians is set for a pretty nice game. Unicorn is again of use for those paranoid about corr
uption. The Falcon starsign does not grant Barbarians a new skill since they already have survival a
nd is thus inferior to Candle; also offers an extra talent, though. Sadly, any of the spellcasting s
tarsigns will not be of much help to a Barbarian, since they'll never become spellcasters worth anyt
hing even with the Book starsign. That doesn't mean you can't win with a Salamander-born Barbarian -
it just doesn't help much. The Sword or Candle starsigns are probably the best.
2. General starting equipment

Barbarians vary quite a lot in their equipment. They do have some things in common, though. First, t
hey all get a melee weapon of some sort, except hurthlings, who get a joke. Also, they get some very
basic armor (leather or furs) which is inferior to, say, a Paladin's, Fighter's or Priest's. Someti
mes, they get basic ranged weaponry, probably because they are skilled hunters. Barbarians also star
t out with more food than most classes, but I believe it's as random as it is race-dependant, as I h
ave found loaves of elven bread even on other characters than elves occasionally.
3. Race-specific starting equipment, evaluation
a) Human:
Skills added: Food Preservation
Starting equipment: Amulet of luck, light furs, two-handed sword, leather boots, dagger, fire-making
equipment
Pros: Lucky, two-handed sword is a powerful weapon

Cons: Mediocre strength and toughness, low PV, less than impressive skillset
Verdict: One of the weaker choices. The human Barbarian has exactly two good items: The amulet and t
he sword. With the sword, he can potentially defeat anything in the beginning; but due to his low PV
and toughness, he'll still get hurt frequently and may still die. Also, he only adds one skill to t
he Barbarian skillset.
b) Troll:
Skills added: Bridge Building, Food Preservation, Gemology, Mining
Starting equipment: Thick furs, heavy club, lots of rocks
Pros: Incredible strength and toughness

Cons: Troll metabolism and troll experience, short lifespan
Verdict: Very good, if somewhat stereotypical choice. Trollish Barbarians can crush anything that cr
osses their path and heal fast. Thanks to their high toughness, they even get pretty nice PV despite
having only thick furs as armor. Also, Gemology and Food Preservation are regarded as very useful s
kills. Of course, they have the same disadvantages as every troll: Slow leveling up, increased food
consumption, a short lifespan. Especially the slow leveling makes playing this guy a bit tedious as
the game continues. I have yet to win with a troll. I probably lack the patience.
c) High Elf:
Skills added: Literacy
Starting equipment: Leather armor, hooded cloak, long sword, leather boots, short bow, some arrows
Pros: Literate Barbarian, long lifespan

Cons: Mediocre strength, low toughness, low PV, weak weapon
Verdict: A lousy choice. High elves and gray elves are, however, the only way to start out with a li
terate Barbarian. If you want to be able to read right from the start as a Barbarian, you have no ch
oice but to play a high elf or gray elf - the former are the slightly better, if still terrible, cho
ice due to better toughness and HP regeneration.
d) Gray Elf:
Skills added: Literacy
Starting equipment: Leather armor, hooded cloak, long sword, leather boots, long bow, about 20 arrow
s
Pros: Literate Barbarian, long lifespan

Cons: Low strength and toughness, low PV, weak weapon
Verdict: See High Elf. It should be noted that gray elves get a long bow while high elves only get a
short bow. This is probably so there is a reason to actually play gray elven Barbarians instead of
high elven. If you want that long bow and the higher amount of ammunition and don't mind the lower p
hysical stats and HP regeneration, gray elves are for you.
e) Dark Elf:
Skills added: Alertness, Find Weakness
Starting equipment: hood, clothes, hooded cloak, two short swords, light boots, throwing knife, poti
ons of poison
Pros: Awesome skills, long lifespan

Cons: Low strength and toughness, starting equipment sucks
Verdict: A nice choice for those who don't mind a bit of difficulties during the early game if it me
ans having what is probably the best skillset of any Barbarian. They start with zero PV, however, an
d are thus very frail, especially since they deal lousy damage and have really slow toughness and HP
regeneration. Make use of your poison against powerful opponents early on. Definitely not a recomme
nded option for beginners.
f) Dwarf:
Skills added: Detect traps, Smithing, Metallurgy, Mining
Starting equipment: Bone helmet, thick furs, battle axe, leather boots, throwing clubs, lots of booz
e
Pros: Decent strength and toughness, Detect traps, decent lifespan

Cons: Added skills either obtainable in-game or not that useful
Verdict: This is a good choice. It's not spectacular, but since you get decent strength and toughnes
s to work with and don't have the experience penalty of a troll, it's hard to find any particular we
akness as well. The armor you start out with is pretty decent for a Barbarian, though it does need w
ork. The booze can be kept to recharge wands you find early on, or exchanged for other potions by Yg
gaz. That's hardly of use, though, since you can't use these safely anyway until you identify them -
and to identify items, you need Literacy and a suitable scroll. I'd probably keep the booze for rec
harging wands, as Barbarians are terrible at regular spellcasting. Play one of these on New Year's E
ve to get even more booze :)
g) Gnome:
Skills added: Pick pockets, Gemology, Mining, Ventriloquism
Starting equipment: Hood, light furs, spear, light boots, sling, a lot of rocks, firemaking equipmen
t
Pros: Several useful skills added, equipment ain't half bad, extra talent
Cons: Low strength, low PV
Verdict: Despite the ridiculousness of the mental image, gnomes aren't that bad as Barbarians - they
add some nice skills (Most notably Gemology in combination with Mining and Ventriloquism). Their la
rge stock of rocks at the beginning coupled with their sling may help in dispatching early game oppo
nents. Still, gnomes lack a bit in the physical department.
h) Hurthling:
Skills added: Archery, Cooking, Food Preservation, Gardening
Starting equipment: Light furs, club, cursed ring, short bow, lots of arrows, firemaking equipment,
cooking set
Pros: Lots of arrows, high dexterity, extra talent, Archery

Cons: Horrible strength, a friggin' club
Verdict: Hurthling and Barbarian? Almost sounds like it should be impossible, right? Well, they add
some skills - the usual hurthling fare. They also start out with a whole lot of arrows. Indeed, thei
r starting equipment makes them look like they'd be better as archers than as melee fighters. It's y
our archery that will enable you to survive the early game, and it can be improved with the right ta
lents to make your hurthling Barbarian a missile weapon powerhouse. Find some decent armor and melee
weapon, and you can go into melee like the other Barbarians. Hurthlings might never be the stronges
t in melee (though there are ways to increase strength to ludicrous amounts - stone giant stew, yum
yum), but their missile skills make up for that.
i) Orc:
Skills added: Backstabbing, Find Weakness, Metallurgy, Mining
Starting equipment: Orcish helmet, studded leather armor, orcish spear, heavy boots, some rocks
Pros: High strength and toughness, powerful starting equipment, nice skills
Cons: Short lifespan
Verdict: Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the best Barbarian race of all. I count 6 starting P
V on equipment alone; add the toughness bonus and you start out with PV of 8 or more. Double digits
are entirely possible (not even rare) if you luck out with starting equipment or become particularly
tough. Add to that awesome melee damage thanks a decent starting weapon and super strength and the
fact that you get one of the best skill additions for the Barbarian (second only to the dark elven s
killset, Gemology lovers aside) - what's not to love? Well, the threat of being aged to death. Avoid
meleeing ghosts, even bats and especially lords and kings, like the plague.
j) Drakeling:
Skills added: Alertness, Food Preservation, Music
Starting equipment: Heavy spear, throwing club
Pros: High strength and toughness, Acid Breath, Alertness

Cons: Underwhelming starting equipment
Verdict: Considering the fact they get so few starting equipment, Drakelings are actually pretty goo
d. Their starting weapon isn't bad, and they get some basic PV due to their high toughness. You simp
ly have to find your equipment yourself. The skills of a Drakeling are also nice to have, as well as
the ability.
k) Conclusion: Orcs make the best Barbarians. Trolls, while being stronger, lack the equipment of or
cs and have to struggle with their low levelup. Dark elves, while being even a little bit more aweso
me than orcs skillwise, have considerable difficulties surviving the early game. Afther these three,
dwarves and drakelings make pretty decent Barbarians overall, dwarves offer good equipment, drakeli
ngs nice skills. They are followed by gnomes and hurthlings, the latter being an interesting choice
if you want to maximize the missile weapon potential for your Barbarian (which is probably a good id
ea if you plan on engaging Andor Drakon - Blessed humanoid slaying ammunition is one of the best way
s to defeat him). After those humans, who have the best weapon but more or less suck in any other re
spect, and on the last place high and gray elves, who simply suck with next to no redeeming qualitie
s. You should, however, gain some knowledge about the skills every race gets so you can build your o
wn opinion who suits your playing style best. (Who knows, you might love the Literacy skill so much
that you can't wait till Dwarftown to get it!)
It should nevertheless be noted that regardless of your playing style, orcs pwn the other races at b
eing Barbarian so hard it's not even funny. You can't say no to an orcish Barbarian! Actually, you c
an't say anything at all because he already knocked your teeth out, but even so.
III. Playing style
1. Barbarians in general
Barbarians are melee powerhouses, and the good news is that they can win the game with this ability.
Melee fighting, however, has its risks and dangers, the most notable being that while few enemies c
an attack from a distance, all can attack in melee. Some can dish out such an awful lot of damage th
at meleeing them is almost suicide. Luckily, all Barbarians gain missile weapon skills quickly, and
a certain Barbarian class power would make any poorly endowed (seven leagues-less) Archer weep with
jealousy. A smart Barbarian trains his missile weapon skills and makes use of slaying ammunition. Wa
nds are your friend as a substitution for some spells. But if all else fails, berserk tremendous blo
ws just might be the thing to kill your opponent in a last ditch effort.
Barbarians love to have high DV, PV, to-hit and especially melee damage. They also love to be speedy
- as does anyone, granted. They have no use for Charisma, Appearance and Mana, and they don't parti
cularly need to have decent Learning, Perception, or Willpower (high Learning gives more skill advan
ces, high Willpower has an effect on HP, increases your resistance to confusion attacks and is a req
uirement for entering the Rift, high Perception improves your chances to evade traps and lets you lo
ok farther). Strength and Toughness are the most important stats, and high Dexterity helps a lot bec
ause of the speed, DV and to-hit boni you get out of it. Lastly, to be a good Barbarian you need to
have some grasp of the tactics settings. Right use of them can win or lose battles.
2. Barbarian class powers

Barbarians get their two core class powers at level 6 and 18: The mighty blow and the tremendous blo
w. On the first glance, you might find that dealing double (triple) damage isn't that nice if it tak
es MORE than double (triple) the time to get ready for the next move. Not to mention that while you
recover from using your mighty (worse: tremendous) blow, the opponent has enough time to potentially
score some bad criticals without giving you the opportunity to gulp down a life-saving blessed poti
on of extra healing. Fighting normally should deal more damage over a certain time and even improve
on your abilities to react. So what makes the mighty and he tremendous blow actually worthwhile to u
se?
Two cases can be made. The less important: If you kill your enemy with a tremendous or mighty blow,
it can't actually make any use of the time you spend recovering from using the blow. This way, by ki
lling your opponent in one shot, you avoid having to spend several turns in which the opponent can a
ttack you. For some opponents, going into berserk mode and trying to deal a tremendous blow is actua
lly preferable to having a long drawn-out fight.
The other case, which is the more important one, is described with the following term: Monster PV. M
ighty blow and tremendous blow would indeed be almost completely useless if monsters had no PV. It's
simple maths, really.
Let us assume you have a weapon that always hits and deals 20 damage. Monster A has zero PV, while m
onster B has 10 and monster C has 20. How much damage will you deal
a) using normal attacks that deal normal damage each round, or

b) using tremendous blows that can only be used once every four rounds which cause triple damage
until 20 rounds have passed?
a)
Monster A: You deal 20 damage in every one of the 20 rounds: 400 damage.
Monster B: You deal 10 damage in every one of the 20 rounds: 200 damage.
Monster C: You fail to do any damage.
b)
Monster A: You deal 60 damage every fourth round: 300 damage.
Monster B: You deal 50 damage every fourth round: 250 damage.
Monster C: You deal 40 damage every fourth round: 200 damage.
Did you notice the effect? The higher the PV of the monster you fight, the more worthwhile it become
s to use tremendous blows. Against monsters with zero or negligible PV, tremendous blows (or mighty
blows, for that matter) are only to be used if you are reasonably sure you can kill them with ONE tr
emendous blow and wait out the 4000 (2500) energy points (modified by weapon skill appropriately!) w
hile not being attacked at all. The same thing is true if you use a weapon that bypasses PV: Tremend
ous blow and mighty blow will be mostly useless then.
Tremendous blows should, if possible, be used in conjunction with berserk tactics. There are two rea
sons: First, you get the maximal gain of the tripling with berserk damage; Second, you can be reason
ably sure your attack connects that way. Nothing's more embarassing than trying a tremendous blow an
d missing, though it might not matter that much statistically. (Against a high PV monster, a tremend
ous blow hit may be better than four normal hits, but a tremendous MISS is just as bad...)
In conclusion, though: With the mighty and especially tremendous blow, Barbarians can sneer at high
PV monsters and low PV monsters alike, and definitely don't need to fear not being able to get throu
gh any kind of defense. (Except if your weapon really sucks ass.)
Mighty and tremendous blows have to be carefully used, of course. The tactical disadvantage of not b
eing able to react for a prolonged time should not be underestimated...
The level 12 Barbarian class power increases your walking speed by reducing the number of energy poi
nts walking consumes. However, when you're engaged in melee, weapon attack speed is more important.
Still, it helps if you engage in missile combat - and most Barbarians do that from time to time. Ski
lled players make use of this class power even in melee, by attacking an opponent in berserk mode wi
th higher attacking speed due to weapon skill and immediately retreating before the opponent can get
a hit in, and repeating this - let the opponent come near, attack him, retreat before he can attack
back - until the opponent is dead. It's the same method employed by Archers and other ranged fighte
rs, only that it's safer with ranged weapons since you don't have to even let the enemy near you. An
d Archers have to use seven league boots or higher speed to pull it off like a level 12 Barbarian. H
urthlings are especially grateful for this class power, because it allows them to become great arche
rs themselves.
Your Barbarian has reached level 25? Congratulations. The class power that kicks in now will kick in
for every level till the last. You now get extra hitpoints in addition to the ones you already got
because of your high toughness and being a Barbarian in general. Nice class power, because while hav
ing tons of hitpoints is good, having megatons of them is better. I don't think you can even have en
ough hitpoints. 26d4 is the total amount of hitpoints you will gain (1d4 for every level after and i
ncluding level 25); why this may turn out to be as low as 26, it can theoretically go up to 104 in t
otal. The average is 65 hit points. That may not sound like too much since endgame (level 50) Barbar
ians with high toughness (morgia, class power, potions of toughness...) can expect to have a value o
ver 1000. But in blessed potions of ultra healing (another way of increasing the hitpoint count), 65
hitpoints would require about thirty to achieve. Every single point can save your Barbarian ass if
you overestimated your battle prowess and meleed a greater moloch, so be grateful!
Level 32 brings a good increase of Strength and Toughness, the most important stats of any Barbarian
. At this point in the game, both should be pretty high already so the increase benefits you more. A
nother nice treat in any case, even though this one is a one-time deal and you can possibly lose the
extra stat points again.
Level 40 and 50 have to be evaluated together because they serve the same purpose: Improving the Bar
barian's abilities as a true berserker. Fighting as a true berserker is like a stage above normal be
rserking, only that your to-hit and damage is increased while DV stays the same as in berserk mode.
To be a true berserker, however, you must not wear armor while berserking. No helmets, body armor, g
irdles, bracers, gauntlets, boots. You may only equip amulets and rings, a weapon and a shield as we
ll as missile weapons, missiles and tools. Only if you meet these requirements will you get the "You
lust for blood!" message once you attack an opponent in berserk mode, and thus be a true berserker.
Needless to say, this is a risky route to take. On level 50 and even level 40, you don't actually n
eed to be a true berserker to utterly destroy everything in your path, and it might be more worthwhi
le to engage dangerous opponents properly protected. Nevertheless, a true berserker landing a tremen
dous blow with Vanquisher is probably the highest in melee damage you will ever get with any charact
er (insta-killing hits of the assassin and monk aside). Depending on the quality of your rings, amul
ets and shields, your skills, talents and weapon skills and your dexterity and toughness attributes,
you'll get at least some degree of DV/PV even while true berserking. If you feel that the enormous
increase in damage and attack speed on level 50 justifies the sacrificed armor value, by all means g
o ahead. After all, there are few things cooler than a true berserking barbarian! Though there are a
lso few things deader if you don't watch out... (Don't forget that while in true berserk mode, you c
an't distinguish friend from foe - meaning you don't get "Do you really want to attack (whoever)" me
ssages anymore...)
3. Monsters to watch out for

Actually, there are not many monsters that pose a serious problem to Barbarians. While they may pose
a threat, your Barbarian is still fully capable of destroying them. In the early game, gray oozes a
nd ochre jellies have the annoying habit of dissolving your melee weapon; if you fight hordes (or ev
en one) of these, you should either switch to a stone, eternium or artifact weapon (as only these ar
e immune to corrosion) or to missile attacks. If you have none of these, you can also try your luck
with unarmed attacks, but that's going to destroy your gauntlets and damage you unless you have arti
fact gauntlets or acid resistance. If you have artifact or eternium boots, you can also kick the jel
ly without suffering damage. It doesn't help that gray oozes and ochre jellies are breeders. Another
way of dealing with them might be to use expendable melee weapons, but they get corroded so badly s
o quickly killing the jelly will take forever, giving them time to breed. If you took the time to pi
ck up all those crude knives from those last three orc tension rooms, throw them instead. Using spar
e gloves and boots might be another way. And note that fighting jelly is a method useful to get rid
of cursed melee weapons, boots or gloves.
There are a lot of enemies that either hit so hard or have so dangerous effects that you should rath
er switch to missile weapons or at least defeat them quickly (eternium golems, greater molochs, empe
ror liches). There is only one opponent, however, that is not only too dangerous to engage in melee
against, but also immune to missile attacks: You. I mean a doppleganger king. Doppleganger kings hav
e several attacks, each one of these with an attack power possibly greater than that of your own cha
racter. And in case you forgot, your Barbarian deals loads of damage! Like with any doppleganger, mi
ssiles are simply deflected. Your only chance against doppleganger kings is spells, and your pretty
much only source of spells is wands. Hit 'em with magic missiles, cold, acid, fire, lightning - what
ever you have, until they finally croak. Thankfully they do not seem to be able to copy your immunit
ies and resistances, and they are so rare and appear so late in the game you're bound to have enough
wands to deal with them. You could also cast a darkness spell (scroll or crystal) and try to engang
e in melee; I heard doppleganger kings can't fight back in the darkness. In that case, switch to ber
serk, as that makes the doppleganger king easier to hit. You can also try to throw a potion of excha
nge at the bastard. And if all else fails, run away. And DON'T let one get near you! Luckily, dopple
ganger kings are rare. Still, once you have advanced far enough, I strongly advise you watch out for
opponents with the same symbol as yourself. It could be a caveman. It could just be your old buddy
Hawkslayer you hired. It could be weaker dopplegangers. But a doppleganger king will confuse you so
you won't get away and hit you like hell in the same round - even kill you. Watch out!
4. Battle tactics
Your tactics stance depends heavily on the type of your opponent and your own equipment. Generally,
you should not fight too defensively, especially if you're not wearing a shield. That may sound cont
radictory - surely you need to be more careful if you do not have a shield to rely on? - but remembe
r that you acquire less weapon skill marks while fighting defensively, and more shield marks instead
. So if you fight defensively without a shield to gain shield skill marks with, you won't accumulate
a lot of marks in general.
Switch to coward you should for every turn, however, in which you neither attack or use ranged weapo
ns. For example, if you drink a potion or use a scroll or wand, or even walk around (though it tires
me out to walk around in Coward all the time and switch for every single fucking goblin - remember
that killing monsters while in coward mode doesn't train weapon skills). For missile attacks the bas
ic archer principle still applies: If they can't hit you, go berserk!
Does your opponent attack slowly and not hit hard, but you don't have much time yourself due to bein
g poisoned or soon to be surrounded? Berserk him away! Has your opponent annoyingly high PV? Use ber
serk or very aggressive tremendous blows. Are you almost dead and your opponent still has half his l
ife? Switch to berserk and do a tremendous blow - you just might survive. Generally, if you are reas
onably sure one more berserk tremendous blow will do the trick and there are no other (notable) oppo
nents around, go ahead.
Once you've obtained the Tactics skill and increased it to decent values, you'll notice that using n
ormal tactics at all is suboptimal, simply because all the other settings offer a lot of gain for li
ttle sacrifice. Choose Aggressive or Defensive instead, or Very Aggressive and Very Defensive.
Hit and run tactics are also very useful. You need high movement and attack speeds for that. Startin
g from level 12, the former is guaranteed. The latter will also be easily obtained simply by trainin
g melee weapon skills.
5. Mad Barbarian skillz
a) Athletics
A wonderful skill. It increases your speed as well as your chance to get physical stat increases. St
rength, Dexterity, Toughness and Appearance are increased more often while having this skill. Higher
skill values get you more speed and increase the chances to get a stat increase. You want this skil
l at 100 as soon as possible, to get the best out of the increases and because speed is awesome. It
levels up easy, so you should manage to get there during your early tens.
b) Climbing
This skill can, in one situation, save your hide: When you've fallen into a pit while on the run fro
m an unbeatable monster. Your chance to climb out of the pit in time is directly influenced by the C
limbing skill. Unbeatable monsters are rare for Barbarians. Pit traps are also not exactly plenty. T
o get both at once is extremely unlikely. Apart from that, Climbing has the semi-useful treat that y
ou can climb through mountain ranges faster if your skill level is higher. Given the time PCs of all
classes have to spend in the mountain ranges (next to none; almost the only place you need to climb
through mountain ranges to get to is the valley in the upper left part of the wilderness) this is h
ardly useful. Climbing needs to be maxed, however, if you want to climb down the Rift. Without 100 s
kill points in Climbing, that dungeon and the Library it contains a passage to are utterly unreachab
le. Now, you're a Barbarian, so a Library may be the last place you want to visit - unless you want
to get the weird tome to exchange it for five scrolls of chaos resistance. Well, finally interested?
c) Dodge
Similar to Athletics in that it's awesome and certain skill levels in it translate directly into a b
onus for an important value, this time DV. Higher DV means less likely to be hit by monsters. Barbar
ians throw themselves into the fray of battle frequently, and thus have every reason to have this sk
ill as high as possible - even the fiercest warrior doesn't have unlimited hitpoints. Max it as the
levels come by. Note that for some reason, Dodge becomes hard to raise beyond the sixties at higher
character levels (probably because training it seems to get more difficult), so don't neglect this s
kill - you want it at 100 under all circumstances!
d) First Aid
A good helper in the early game, where every hitpoint can save your ass. After you've suffered damag
e for any reason (self-induced spell damage may not qualify, though) you can apply this skill to pat
ch up the worst. This also holds true for poison damage and feverish fits caused by sickness. Someti
mes, the poison loses some of its power and may even be removed after successfully applying First Ai
d. Sometimes, even your sickness may be healed. The First Aid skill can mean the difference between
life and death, but its success depends largely on its skill level: A low-level First Aid skill is u
nreliable at best. Later on, when you have obtained Healing and regeneration items and lots of spens
eweed, alraunia antidote and curaria mancox, First Aid will become obsolete. Increasing this skill s
hould either be done during the first levels or not at all.
e) Haggling
You can apply this skill on a shopkeeper, with success depending on the skill value and probably the
charisma stat. If you succeed, prices will drop. If you fail, prices will rise. Skill advances are
too precious to waste on this useless nonsense. Also, don't use this skill if your skill level is lo
w, the effect will be disastrous. If you decide, for some unfathomable reason, to invest in this ski
ll, make sure it is very high before you even think about using it. And try to have the Charisma to
back up your feeble efforts.
f) Herbalism
Some may call this skill very useful, others may call it extremely uber-useful. When you encounter p
atches of herbs, you can pick them - that any character can do even without Herbalism. (ADOM does ha
ve its strong points compared to games where you have to gain six levels to gain the ability to frea
king SIT DOWN.) With the Herbalism skill however, you can pick more herbs before the bush vanishes -
and maybe even more importantly, you can pick herbs that aren't cursed. The cursed/uncursed/blessed
ratio improves with every point you spend on this skill. At level 100, roughly two thirds of the he
rbs picked will be blessed. It's also possible to apply the skill on a herb patch to find out what k
ind of herbs there are. The intricacies of herb-harvesting should be looked up elsewhere, here only
this hint: A 2x2 herb square (consisting of four patches) is the herb square you want, because even
if you pick up so many herbs from one patch that it disappears, it will regrow eventually. If you fi
nd a lot of herb patches, remember that if you remove all the patches except for an L-shaped group o
f three patches, these will grow into the 2x2 patch. As long as you take care not to pick more than
herb patch to death at once, you have yourself an infinite supply of herbs. Anyway, if you look at h
ow herbs grow and wither away, you might notice that this follows a certain set of rules. Ever heard
of Conway's Game of Life? Look it up! There are patterns that can lead to outright herb explosion,
and tons of simulators available to help you find these patterns! (Want to know more about herbs? Wh
at, do I look like a gardener to you? Check the guidebook!)
g) Listening
This skill lets you hear things. Everyone and their grandma has this skill by virtue of having ears.
With higher skill values, your character may more often get messages like "You hear the sound of ru
shing water" when a monster steps on a water trap, or "You hear the sound of toppling stones" if any
monster was unlucky enough to trigger a stone block trap. Thundering explosions, pained yells in th
e distance and other stuff that would make for a spooky atmosphere if it were converted into an actu
al sound file. Note that this is also the skill, like it or not, that enables you to hear the wails
of banshees (Don't worry, there is only one in the game and you won't meet her for quite some time)
and die shortly afterwards. No, you can't unlearn the skill. Luckily, there are ways to become deaf.
The Mad Minstrel actually has a pretty nice hint about that whole Banshee situation. ("Beware is wh
at you need, understand this verb and take heed"!) The Listening skill need not be increased. Not on
ly is its benefit pretty small, it also increases itself wonderfully and you don't need it at 100 fo
r anything.
h) Stealth
If you're stealthy, monsters will have a harder time seeing you. This means you can sneak up on and
backstab them with the appropriate skill, or sneak behind them to better position yourself. It doesn
t always work, of course, not even with skill level 100. And if you attack a monster, you draw atten
tion to yourself. Barbarians aren't the sneaky type. This skill usually increases itself; it should
be noted, however, that it might not reach 100 by itself until rather late in the game. There is, ho
wever, one point in the game where you want this skill at 100, or to be exact, someone else wants it
: The Ghost Librarian. He hates noise. He REALLY REALLY hates noise. Only those with Stealth at 100
who don't utter a single word (i. e. cast no spells and don't chat with monsters) for at least 2000
turns (hell if I know the exact number) are worthy of delivering stuff for him - namely, the weird t
ome. Five scrolls of chaos resistance are the reward of this delivery. Read it again: FIVE scrolls o
f CHAOS RESISTANCE. Now you feel better about spending a couple of increases to max Stealth, right?
Note that if you messed it up and did utter a word, it doesn't (at least not always) destroy your ch
ances to get the weird tome - the timer is (hopefully) simply reset and you have to wait for 2000 tu
rns (or more, whatever, give it to me already) again.
i) Survival
This skill is usually not important. In the early game, you might run into food problems - in that c
ase, a high Survival skill in the wilderness might just save your life. However, smart players know
that Munxip's large rations sell cheap. A high Survival skill is also useful to avoid being ambushed
by unfair wilderness encounters like they can occur once a month or so has passed. Dorn Beasts for
instance can paralyze and easily kill you if you're ambushed by them. Still, that kind of bad luck i
s tremendously rare. Increase this skill in case you have skill advances left after you've increased
all your more important skills to the max.
j) Swimming
Another one of those skills that can save your life in a tough spot. Whether water is what saves you
from death at the hands of a pursuing monster or the obstacle that prevents you from escaping and s
aving your life depends on your Swimming skill. The better you are at Swimming, the less likely is i
t that you take damage while inside a body of water, and drowning damage becomes lower in general. T
he swimming skill also affects how fast you move underwater. It's one of those potentially lifesavin
g skills that come into play so rarely you don't know whether you should actually increase it. I fee
l safer in the early game with a decent Swimming skill, though, especially since your way to the nex
t down staircase might be blocked by a river eventually - and sometimes there could also be no going
back.
k) Two Weapon Combat

This skill improves to-hit and increases the attacking speed for fighting with two weapons. It's sim
ple, really. If you don't plan on fighting with two weapons, you don't need any skill point at all i
n this skill. If you want to use two weapons, you should have this skill as high as ever possible, b
ecause otherwise your to-hit and attacking speed simply will be too dismal for it to be worth it. It
depends entirely on you. Note that if you use a Barbarian blow, only your first weapon will actuall
y be dealing the blow - the second will attack normally. That's why I think Barbarians aren't cut ou
t for this Two Weapon Combat thing in any case. (Don't bring up Needle and Sting now - everybody can
dual-wield them and be a badass, even a wizard.)
l) Woodcraft
This skill shortens the time it takes to chop trees. That means it's useless. If you ever need a tre
e, you need it for Bridge Building. If you ever need Bridge Building, you need it at precisely one p
oint in the game (You have Swimming, remember?). Even at that point, a wand of cold works well enoug
h. If you don't have a wand of cold and don't find one, yes, in that case you may need some tree log
s. But even in that very, very special case, you should increase Bridge Building, not Woodcraft, as
chopping trees doesn't require any sort of successful skill check, and it doesn't save you time if y
ou can chop trees quicker if you need twenty more logs just to get three bridge segments done. It sh
ould be noted that the skill becomes somewhat more useful if you manage to obtain the Fletchery skil
l.
6. Mad non-Barbarian skillz

Note that these skills can - aside from playing the mentioned races - all be obtained by either wish
ing for them or using a potion or scroll of education, unless stated otherwise. If a skill can also
be obtained in the game with other means, the way to get it is also described.
a) Alertness
A specialty of dark elves and drakelings. This skill increases both your chance to notice traps at t
he last possible moment, evading them, and your chance to evade spells cast by those pesky dark sage
s and chaos archmages - a useful and potentially life-saving effect, as you can see, regardless of e
arly, mid or late game. And if that wasn't enough, high skill values even get you extra DV points. E
verybody loves extra DV! In short, Alertness prevents your character from dying in many ways. It isn
t quick to increase, but you should always be near your max for that skill. As it is unobtainable fr
om anyone in the game and can't even be wished for (Wishing for "Alertness" only gives you an increa
se of your Perception attribute), you can only get it from potions or scrolls of education - if you'
re very lucky. That's why dark elves and drakelings are tempting choices.
b) Archery
All hurthlings like to throw rocks at cars driving by on the interstate, so they all start out with
this skill. It improves your missile damage, to-hit, and (in some way) range. As described in the ma
nual, a Barbarian gets +1 to hit per 25 points and +1 to damage per 40 points. With Archery at 100,
you get +5 to hit and +2 to damage. That doesn't sound like a whole lot? You might be right. However
, the Archery skill has another feature - it's a prerequisite for the talents Lightning Shot and Eag
le-Eyed. The latter adds almost as much to-hit and damage as the Archery skill itself, and the forme
r increases your missile weapon attack speed considerably. You need the Archery skill at high levels
to get these talents; but that shouldn't be much of a problem. Hurthling Barbarians will be a lot b
etter at using missile weapons than any other type of Barbarian thanks to this skill. Indeed, the "o
nly" things they lack compared to real Archers are the Fletchery skill, a bit to-hit and damage and,
well, the absolutely awesome archery-related class powers. However, they get a movement speed incre
ase, a valuable asset for any user of missile weapons.
c) Backstabbing
Orcs are sneaky chaotic assholes, that's why they start with this skill. It gives you an enormous da
mage bonus when you manage to catch an opponent off-guard, either because you're very stealthy or ev
en invisible, or he's blind, or he was neutral to you and didn't expect to be attacked. Since even a
gainst your regular dungeon opponent this has a chance of kicking in thanks to Stealth and you use m
elee weapons extensively anyway, this is actually a nice skill, especially when combined with berser
k mode and the tremendous blow technique. Imagine sneaking behind someone and in a berserk frenzy pl
unging Vanquisher into the back of your victim with tremendous power and a loud warcry! If that does
n't kill, nothing will. A very nice skill to have, especially if you find a cloak of invisibility...
Heh heh... You don't need to play orcs to get this skill, however: Bart, the grizzled gladiator tea
ches it to you if you give him the golden gladius. Backstabbing becomes easy to increase after some
hours spent on slaying monsters in melee, and the higher it is, the greater the devastation you can
bring onto your enemy!
d) Bridge Building
Trolls live under bridges and thus have lots of time to study the intricacies of building them. You
need a hatchet and logs to build a bridge segment, but there is a chance of failure depending on you
r skill value. Since you can swim and you can build bridges without even spending a point in this sk
ill by using wands of cold, this loser skill does not deserve your attention. (It's true that ice br
idges only hold if you're carrying not more than 2000 stones, but for Christ's sake - take several t
rips!) Trolls get it (without a manual, which makes it all the more pointless), but everyone else ca
n easily obtain it too, especially since all Barbarian players with some Learning points left (so to
speak) choose the Yrrigs quest to get Healing. Everyone does that quest to get Healing even though
Bridge Building is the actual "reward" of the quest itself... Either kill Yrrigs to get his manual a
nd learn Bridge Building from it, or save him and learn Bridge Building from him (or the manual that
he leaves behind). Or just don't bother. You can only increase this skill if you still have your ma
nual; allow for it to be destroyed and you have to naturally train the skill, which takes ages to ge
t anywhere. I could rant on more about how useless this skill is (such as logs being heavy as ass),
but I want to get to the end of this guide before I push up daisies.
e) Cooking
Hurthlings love good food, and somehow consider knowing how to cook an essential part of becoming an
adventurer. Note that you need to have a cooking set to use that skill. Hurthlings start out with o
ne, but need to find another if that one gets destroyed. There are two possible outcomes if you cook
a corpse or piece of raw or fish meat: Either you succeed in cooking and get a cooked corpse, fresh
meat or fried fish meat, or you ruin the corpse, upon which it disappears. Your chance to succeed i
s directly related to your skill value. Cooking stuff increases the nutritious value and heavily dec
reases (but not completely stops) the rate at which the food rots. Because there are some corpses yo
u can exchange for nice stuff - Guth'Alak will give you potions of cure corruption if you bring him
the corpses of very chaotic creatures - it's a good idea to cook these corpses so you have a chance
to deliver them in time. Hurthlings start with a high skill value good for everyday goblin cooking,
but it should be improved further before cooking the most valuable corpses to minimize the risk of r
uining them. This skill is nice and pretty much takes out starvation as an early game killer especia
lly combined with Food Preservation, but pales in comparison to some skills other races offer.
f) Detect traps
Dwarves have a special attunement to underground dungeons of all type and thus start out with this s
kill. You know about the 's'earch command, right? A normal character without the Detect traps skill
can only find secret doors with this command, while a character with the Detect traps skill can also
detect traps located in any of the adjacent squares, including door traps. Once detected, any chara
cter should be able to bypass the trap, though low Perception and Dexterity values may pose a risk.
The Detect traps skill only works its wondrous magic when you are actively searching your surroundin
gs; your character won't spontaneously detect a trap with this skill (that's what Alertness is for).
The skill value of your Detect traps skill determines your chance to find nearby traps when searchi
ng: Even with a skill value of 1, there is a basic chance to find a trap, though it is very low and
it will take a lot of searching to find any trap. Note that Detect traps works with a ring of search
ing. Since the ring of searching causes you to make only one magical search check (which is "free",
i.e. does not take additional time) for every step you move, you should have a high Detect traps ski
ll if you want to rely on the ring finding most traps. Later on in the game, characters may grow so
powerful that they feel they can simply absorb the damage of all the traps found in the dungeons - b
ut they forget you can't absorb the emotional damage losing your only pair of seven league boots to
an acid or ceiling trap causes. Places like the Minotaur Maze or the Mana Temple should not be visit
ed without a means to detect traps, period. There is a wand that automatically detects all traps wit
hin line of sight, but wands can run out, be destroyed and be drained by the mana battery corruption
- the Detect traps skill cannot. This skill is nice for early game survival, especially when you us
e it before opening or even touching any door. Yergius, the master thief of the Thieves Guild that r
esides in Lawenilotehl, can teach this skill to you for a price (usually about 3000 gp), but will do
so only to members. To become a member, you need the Pick Pockets skill. Check the Pick Pockets ski
ll description for further instructions. Dwarves don't need to go through all that hassle to get the
skill, and there is no good reason not to obtain this skill for Barbarians of the other races.
g) Find weakness
A wicked and especially nasty personality grants this skill upon all orcs and dark elves. This skill
increases your chance to score critical hits. A critical hit causes double the damage of what a nor
mal hit would have dealt. This applies to any melee and missile attack you make. As a result of the
higher critical chance, this skill greatly improves the damage you deal to all opponents on average,
especially taking enemies' PV into account (The maths is similar to what was shown regarding the mi
ghty and tremendous blow class powers). The effect becomes, of course, more noticable the higher you
r skill level is. Of course, Vanquisher practically makes this skill obsolete. But who wants to plan
ahead for a crowning gift you don't even know you'll get? This skill is the main reason why dark el
ves and orcs make so DAMN SWEET Barbarians. Make it high priority if you get it since every point wi
ll make your life destroying monsters easier. It should be noted that the tremendous and mighty blow
class powers can take the place of Find Weakness when it comes to fighting high PV monsters, so you
can afford not to get this skill. But it's still damned worth getting.
h) Food Preservation
Being practical people and lovers of good food, humans, drakelings, trolls and hurthlings know this
skill from the beginning. Its effects are solely passive. First, the food you carry will rot at a mu
ch slower rate, allowing you to keep it in your backpack for a longer time. This isn't quite enough,
though, to completely assure that a corpse will hold until you have, say, delivered it to Guth'Alak
- you need Cooking for that. It's still somewhat useful since you can keep around a stat-increasing
corpse for some time until your bloated status wears off, for instance. The second passive effect o
f the Food Preservation skill is a lot more useful: It increases the chance that a monster killed by
you leaves behind a corpse for you to eat. Yum yum! In the early game, this somewhat helps keeping
your character from starvation, combined with the first effect. In the later game when food isn't a
problem, you'll still want to eat the corpses of some monsters especially. Giant corpses, blink dog
corpses, quickling corpses, giant slug corpses... Anything that increases a stat or grants a rare in
trinsic is more than welcome. The effect of the Food Preservation skill becomes greater with skill l
evel. Since this skill does nothing to actually influence your success and prowess in battle, you sh
ouldn't put many skill points in it early on when there's still more useful skills to train - unless
, of course, you find yourself constantly aching for food.
i) Gardening
Hurthlings seem to think building a garden is what every adventurer should know, even if they live i
n Barbaric tribes and hunt for their food. This skill lets you plant seeds. You can plant herb seeds
and plant seeds. Plant seeds can grow trees, which means they're useless. Herb seeds aren't useless
since they grow herbs, and herbs are very valuable, sometimes essential, to success in ADOM. Howeve
r, herb seeds are very, very rare, and you can grow herbs with holy water as well by pouring it on t
he ground. This skill lets you do something with those four, five herb seeds you can ever hope to fi
nd in a game and is otherwise utterly useless. It's not worth playing a hurthling for it. Note that
you can obtain this skill by choosing the Keethrax quest and, after having slain Keethrax, ask Guth'
Alak to be rewarded in knowledge. This course of action is not recommended, as the Healing skill tha
t can be obtained by the Yrrigs quest is a LOT more valuable to a Barbarian.
j) Gemology
Both trolls and gnomes seem to be fascinated by shiny things, the first because they have the brains
to be fascinated by the shiny things in themselves, the latter because they can sell the shiny thin
gs for money. The Gemology skill allows you to identify gems on sight. Given the availability of scr
olls of identify, this isn't impressive at all. The side effect, however, is very impressive: If, an
d only if, your character has the Gemology skill, pieces of wall that are dug up will occasionally l
eave behind gems, pieces of worthless glass and crystals. A higher skill means a higher chance not o
nly to identify a given gem, but also of a wall leaving behand a gem. This doesn't even require it t
o be you who mines - even a wall mined by an ant or dwarf will leave behind gems. Now, more gems jus
t get you more money, and the worthless glass is just as worthless to you if it comes by in large nu
mbers, but the crystals are very nice to have in high numbers. They are also good replacements for s
ome scrolls and spells if your character is illiterate:
crystal of power = scroll of power

crystal of light = scroll of light, or a charge of a wand of light
crystal of darkness = scroll of darkness
crystal of fire = one charge of a wand of fireballs
crystal of health = one spenseweed or pepper petal (roughly)
Only crystals of knowledge don't quite behave just like scrolls of magic mapping. They reveal, even
if blessed, only a portion of the map. However, if they're blessed, they can do something scrolls of
magic mapping can't do: Increase Learning. You know how rare stat-increasing potions are? With Gemo
logy, a couple of pickaxes and lots of time, you can mine an equivalent of a potion of learning in a
lmost infinite amounts! Now, there are some catches. Crystals of knowledge only work reliably until
you reach the mid-twenties of your Learning stat (30 has been observed), giving you at least five sk
ill increases per level. If you ask me, Barbarians don't need a Learning score of higher than twenty
anyway - but the three most trolls and even gnomes start out with is definitely shamefully low. And
if I had 100 blessed crystals of knowledge, I'd make heavy use of potions of exchange to get all my
stats to mid-twenties with them (they are also useful for revealing the dungeon map in this case).
Well, do you want this skill? It isn't very useful if you don't exploit it, so it's a question of pl
aying style. Mining sessions are, of course, most time-effective with this skill at 100 (though it's
hard to get there without crystals of knowledge in the first place...) and the corresponding Mining
skill that both gnomes and trolls gain at 100 as well.
k) Literacy
Only gray and high elven Barbarian tribes have established a certain level of civilization and teach
their children to read and write (while other Barbarian tribes actually taught them how to be a non
l) Metallurgy
You need University and Gunpowder to get this. (Bonus points for anyone who catches the geeky refere
nce!) Orcs fight a lot and thus use metallic melee weapons a lot, and ore mining is a part of dwarve
n basic culture. Barbarians of both of these races, thus, start the game with basic knowledge in Met
allurgy. Metallurgy is similar to Gemology, since it allows to identify pieces of ore. Pieces of ore
, however, can be easily identified by their weight, so easily, in fact, that I won't tell you how t
o do it here. You can also apply Metallurgy on an item to find out whether it is made of metal and w
ith a higher skill level even what metal it is made of. This is somewhat useful if you want to find
out whether an item is susceptible to rust and melting, and what ingots you can use to improve it. Y
et, this is knowledge that you accumulate yourself, as a player, by playing lots of ADOM with open e
yes and knowing the aforementioned method for identifying ore (or having the guidebook appendices ha
ndy...). This skill is useful only if you want to smith, and even for that it's far from essential.
Don't increase it unless you really have nothing better to do with your skill points. Orcs and dwarv
es should be chosen for their other merits.
m) Mining
Trolls, orcs, gnomes and dwarves spend a lot of their time mining ore and gems and living undergroun
d, so it's only natural they start out with this skill. It increases the speed at which you dig thro
ugh stone with a pickaxe, and decreases the chance that you break your pickaxe. The Mining skill is
not required to mine, but it helps quite a lot, especially if you want to mine for gems and ore. How
ever, there are wands of digging in this game, and they can replace pickaxes if you want to mine a c
orridor to those places that aren't reachable without digging. Since even with a 100 Mining skill, M
ining takes some time and is unsuitable for quick escaping, this skill is not terribly important, ju
st nice to have. The same philosophy should govern your skill increases - increase Mining after the
more important skills are accounted for. If you love this skill, you'll still have to decide which o
f the four races that get it to play, though. Note that in the early game mining may be somewhat ris
ky because of sleeping stone giants - in the later game, you'll simply drool at the though of stone
giant stew and extra strength...)
n) Music
Drakelings are reptiles, and all people know reptiles have a natural attunement to rhythm'n blues an
d stuff. They don't? Whatever, drakeling Barbarians still start out with this skill. It's only use i
s taming animals. To be able to tame animals with anything that resembles success, you need the skil
l at values of at least in the sixties, and it works reliably only at higher values, especially beca
use a Barbarian has sucky Charisma. Considering a drakeling starts out at a single digit skill level
and doesn't even have an instrument, it's immediately disqualified as an early game helper. Later o
n in the game, the only animal that is worth taming as a battle pet is a killer bug. Killer bugs can
only be found if you have 100 entries in your high score list (i.e. 100 usually dead characters) an
d go to the bug-infested temple. They really are worthy of their name, and so can be helpful in disp
atching all sorts of enemies even late in the game. Sadly, since you're not a bard, you always run a
risk of your companions and pets turning on you. Do you want to get backstabbed by an extremely exp
erienced killer bug? I tell you now: You DON'T. That's a powerful argument against the major use of
Music. A minor use of the skill is that you can use tamed companions to kill cats without damaging y
our own kitty karma. Or you tame the cats themselves and let them be killed by monsters, whatever is
more to your liking. If you want to invest in this skill at all with your drakeling, do it with a v
engeance and spend some time practicing with your instruments so you can reach a halfway decent valu
e, or don't do it at all.
o) Pick Pockets
This skill allows you to choose in which one of your pockets you should put an item you found.
Heh, heh. Yeah, bad joke, I know.
Even gnomes living in close relationship to basic nature's drives and with an inborn lust for combat
, valour and honour don't seem to be able to renounce one of the bad habits of their race in general
. If I ask you what you think you can do with Pick Pockets, the likely answer will be "Pick pockets,
duh!"; but it's not that simple. What the Pick Pockets skill actually does in the game is create, i
n a mysterious and entirely magical way, an item out of thin air inside a monster's pocket, and stea
l it at the same time. This item can never weigh more than 10 stones. Inside the bounds of this rest
riction, all potions, scrolls, wands, amulets and rings and some other stuff are possible. Yes, that
includes artifact rings and amulets like Preserver and the ring of immunity, and even the bracers o
f war. (And Soaker - but you don't want that artifact, as it's more like an artisucks) This means th
at every time you pickpocket a monster successfully you get an extra item you wouldn't have gotten o
therwise. If you pickpocket ALL the monsters, you get so many more items than normal it's not even f
unny.
The reason it works in that particularly strange way is probably closely connected to ADOM's develop
ment. In earlier versions of the game, monsters didn't have an inventory, meaning they couldn't pick
up or even possess items themselves; when a goblin rockthrower, for instance, shot a rock at you, t
hat rock didn't even exist for the game until it was shot, and the rocks and the sling and the rando
m items that may appear if you kill the goblin rockthrower didn't exist before as well. Because mons
ters couldn't, technically, possess any items, the Pick Pockets skill could not actually steal items
from the monsters. Instead, it created items itself to give the illusion that it stole items from t
he monsters. Before monster inventories, this was necessary as there was no other way for the Pick P
ockets skill to work. Now that monster inventories have been implemented and monsters can pick up an
d hold items, the Pick Pockets skill still works in the old way instead of now finally stealing item
s the monsters actually have. Personally, I think it's an oversight of the Creator; he probably did
not intend for the Pick Pockets skill to be used as a way to magically create items out of thin air.
I don't think it should be forbidden to use the skill as winning is hard enough as it is in ADOM, b
ut a victory managed only with the help of pickpocketing millions of useful items is, in my eyes, wo
rth less than a victory earned with next to no use of the Pick Pockets skill.
However, there is one purpose for which even I will use the Pick Pockets skill; and that is the requ
irement for entry in the thieves guild. You have to pickpocket a number of about twenty-five people
or monsters successfully before Yergius acknowledges your worth as a thief. This is acceptable even
for me, as I will only gain three or four extra items or so (A successful use of the Pick Pockets sk
ill will not always produce an item). Only members of the thieves guild can obtain a couple of usefu
l skills. For Detect traps see above, for the others previously unknown to any kind of Barbarian, ch
eck out the next section. It's not necessary in any way to play gnomes to get Pick Pockets; if your
PC is nonlawful, Yergius teaches it to you for free if you talk to him, even if you're only level 1.
If you're like me, you'll only increase Pick Pockets as far as you need to manage entry into the thi
eves guild; if you want to exploit this skill (and again, I won't think less of you if you do, we al
l do what we have to do to win, except savescumming), level 100 can be achieved by your extensive tr
aining and skill increases, but isn't necessary, since even mith moderate skill values (such ones de
emed "good" by the program) you get a very high success rate in pickpocketing your everyday monster.
p) Smithing
Every dwarf is taught how to smith even their own children's toys and emerge very proficient in this
skill with their adulthood. It's a very useful skill that can help you win the game greatly, but it
requires a wide assortment of tools and material.
The easiest requirement to meet is the hammer; any kind of hammer except maybe huge iron hammers and
the hammer of the gods (Don't know for sure) will do. You'll find one of these soon and easily enou
gh.
The second tool is a lot harder to get: An anvil. It drops randomly next to never (which is as it sh
ould be; why would any monster lug an anvil around with him all the time?). There are two anvils gua
ranteed in the game; sadly, both already belong to someone else: Glod, the Dwarftown smith, and Kher
ab, the dwarven artificer, both have an anvil in their possession. You can, of course, kill them to
get their anvils. Attacking Glod directly will lead to Dwarftown as a whole turning hostile on you,
and Kherab will put up quite a fight - he hits hard and this with poisonous attacks. So unless you'v
e already progressed pretty far in the game, only Glod is available. There are ways to rob him of hi
s anvil without turning Dwarftown hostile. The easiest one is the use of the Ventriloquism skill: It
will confuse Glod and turn him hostile, but no one else will notice you're the one who provoked him
in the first place, and people will even defend you against him. Only gnomes have this option, howe
ver, everyone else will have to settle for another, more tedious method: Teleporting Glod out of his
smithy and change positions with him until he can be lured off Dwarftwon through some stairs. Once
he has left Dwarftown with you, you can kill him and take his anvil just like the evil chaotic basta
rd you are without anyone in Dwarftown noticing. This also removes him as a source of smithing-relat
ed services like mending items and weapons or removing the rust from them, though.
The third main tool you need is a forge. Forges can be randomly found in dungeons. Guaranteed forges
are found, again, only in Dwarftown with Glod or in Darkforge with Kherab. The latter is out of the
question as smithing takes time and Darkforge is full of monsters and a corrupting area to boot. Th
e former is, again, a little tricky. If you already lured Glod off the level to kill him and take hi
s anvil, you won't have any problems, but as long as Glod is alive and in Dwarftown, he will charge
you for using his forge - even if he is several houses away. Luring him off the level without killin
g him works already, though. Also, forges are not that rare - especially the Unremarkable Dungeon ha
s a fair chance of one showing up, and is uncorrupting.
No, we're not finished. Now that you have gathered the three tools and are ready to apply the Smithi
ng skill, you can... remove rust. To do anything else, you need either ore that you can melt into in
gots or ingots of the right metal that you can improve weapons and armour with. Ore is obtained by m
ining, and ingots by making them out of ore in addition to the few that are randomly found. To melt
ore, apply Smithing and choose the ore. To improve an item, choose the item and then the ingot to im
prove it with (I'm not sure if you can do it the other way around). Provided you have the sufficient
material, your smithing skill level is the only limit to how much you can improve a given item. If
you have Smithing at 100 and even after several tries with your best effort improvement is impossibl
e, you have reached the limit.
So, to recap: A hammer, an anvil, a forge, and an ingot of the right metal is needed to improve an i
tem, and you can melt ore to get the ingot. And even without ingots and ore, you can still remove ru
st without a potion of rust removal.
Why go through all that hassle? It can be pretty much summed up like this:
Before: Crown of regeneration [+0, +0]

(Spend hours of game time and a dozen iron ingots)
After: Crown of regeneration [+9, +9]
Convinced? Note that you don't have to be a dwarf to get Smithing, as Glod provides basic training i
n the skill for a fee - which, I'll admit, can be high. Dwarves only save the money, since because o
f the rarity of the smithing tools a dwarf is unlikely to be able to use Smithing before a PC of ano
ther race would reach Dwarftown and get it anyway. Once you're there, all you need to get the proper
tools, if you're ready to be evil, is a wand of teleportation or the Ventriloquism skill. And a ran
domly found hammer, of course. Skill increases in Smithing need not take immediate priority, but Smi
thing should be at 100 by the time you plan to use it.
Even though this skill can lead to a ridiculously easy game, I wouldn't consider it too overly power
ful since the tools are so hard and the material takes such a long time to get. So feel free to use
it to your satisfaction!
o) Ventriloquism
Gnomes have a knack for trickery and sleight of hand in general, and this particular skill is part o
f their repertoire. It allows you to confuse enemies. Confused enemies stagger around aimlessly and
have a much harder time hitting you. Since apart from this skill, your only means to confuse enemies
is by throwing your limited supply of potions of confusion at them, it's a nice skill to have. Succ
ess is directly related to skill value: anything in the lower range is unreliable at best, so if you
want to use this skill on Ancient Chaos Wyrms or the like you'd better train it heavily. If you lik
e this skill a lot, gnomish Barbarians might be just the thing for you!
q) Acid Breath
Drakelings have a special ability that allows them to spit globs of acid at their opponents. The str
ength of the avid produced depends directly on the character level of the drakeling. Instead of powe
r points like a spell would, this ability consumes satiation; this means that if you're low on food
already, you should refrain from using the Acid Breath. On the other hand, there are situations wher
e a bloated character would love to lose his satiation so he can eat more stat-increasing corpses be
fore they rot, like quickling or giant corpses.
A drakeling Barbarian actually profits from his racial ability in all the cases where an opponent se
ems to be almost invincible to melee or missile attacks. Especially against doppleganger kings again
st whom you pretty much have to use spells, the Acid Breath can provide an alternative way of dealin
g damage. This racial ability is quite useful and a good argument for playing drakelings, though any
race can obtain a nearly exact copy of this ability through the sulphur exhaling corruption.
7. Mad skillz obtainable only the game

Here are listed all the skills your Barbarian can only obtain in the game - at least those he can ge
t without a wish or scroll/potion of education.
a) Courage
Normally, when your Barbarian (or any fighting class) is surrounded by more than two enemies, he sta
rts getting penalties to his own to-hit, while his opponents gain boni to to-hit. This penalty becom
es harder to bear the more enemies surround you. Courage helps decreasing that penalty. With Courage
at 100, it becomes barely noticable. A smart player doesn't let him- or herself be surrounded, but
in case it happens anyway (sometimes you're simply that unlucky, especially in cavernous levels), th
e Courage skill helps out greatly. Besides, a Barbarian should know Courage by virtue of being a Bar
barian anyway, especially since the skill is taught by a barbarian: the old barbarian living in the
clearing a bit north of Darkforge, in the middle of the forest to the south of the Drakalor chain. B
ut first, you have to complete a quest (Duh! This is an RPG. You may be the only person capable of s
aving the world, but you still have to pay for your stuff and you don't get crucial abilities for fr
ee!). To even qualify for that quest, you first need to have killed 500 monsters. After you have obt
ained the quest, you need to kill twenty more of the monster that was your first kill. This is one o
f the main reasons why every player should try to remember his first kill. Was it a goblin? A kobold
? An orc? A rat? A bandit if you were very smart? Anyway, after you've killed twenty of your first k
ill, you can return to him and he'll teach you sum'thin 'bout Courage. Note that he only talks to no
nchaotics; if you're an evil bastard, he won't teach or give you squat.
b) Disarm traps
This skill allows you to use thieves picks to disarm traps. Since the only other thing that could do
that is a spell, Barbarians actually need to have the skill to disarm traps, being the lousy spellc
asters they are. However, to disarm a trap, you have to know where it is. And if you know where it i
s, why don't you just avoid it? Traps rarely go off if you have halfway decent Dexterity and Percept
ion even if you step on them while knowing they are there. And if you don't have a high Disarm traps
skill, chances are you trigger the trap yourself while disarming it (which only really hurts you if
it's a fireball trap, though). The same can't be said, however, for door traps - almost all of them
will hit you if you fail to disarm them badly. But door traps are easily disarmed by opening the do
or with an at least uncursed key or a wand of knocking. All in all, this skill is of low importance,
so I'd advise you to keep the money it would cost to learn it from Yergius. (How to learn skills fr
om Yergius is explained in the Pick Pockets description.) Note that thieves picks can be very rare;
there are always some in the eastmost part of the first pyramid level, though.
c) Healing
This skill is one of the first game objectives for a Barbarian. Its effect is simple: It increases H
P regeneration enormously. The higher the skill level, the greater the effect. So no questions about
it, you want this skill, and you want it badly. Two people can teach it to you: Jharod, the healer,
and Kranf Niest, the mad doctor. Jharod will only teach the skill to you if you're nonchaotic and h
ave proven "your ability to exert mercy". You can do that in two ways: First, you can lure Yrrigs al
l the way to Jharod, upon which Jharod will heal Yrrigs and reward you. Second, you can heal wounded
monsters that have not been injured by yourself and are not hostile to you, for which Jharod will r
eward you as well. The reward is the Healing skill the first time, additional training in the Healin
g skill and a stethoscope the second time, and if Healing has already been maxed, you will still get
a potion of ultra healing EVERY time you talk to him after having proven your ability to exert merc
y. Niiice. (The catch is: Lacking the Healer class powers, you can only heal other people with the h
elp of a Healing spell. Barbarians and spellcasting don't mix. Wands of wonder in combination with b
ookcasting Cure Light Wounds is about the only way to do it.)
However, if you're chaotic and refuse to change your wicked ways, Jhared won't teach you Healing eve
n after saving Yrrigs. Instead, you can complete Hotzenplotz' quest and kill Jharod. As a reward, Ho
tzenplotz will send you to Kranf Niest, who will experiment on you, draining a couple of stats - Wil
lpower and Learning usually - and taking your headgear as well. The result is a Healing skill of jus
t over sixty. However, that was it. You won't get further Healing increases, stethoscopes and potion
s of ultra healing anymore.
All in all, it's preferable to be nonchaotic and receive the skill from Jharod, even though you get
the Healing skill at a lower value from him. However, you can't always become nonchaotic that easily
early in the game. It's doable if you do the Kranach and/or puppy quest and lure Yrrigs to Jharod,
but the easiest way is with a neutral or lawful altar. If you sacrifice gold one per piece, you'll r
each neutral alignment with only four or five gold pieces. I advise doing this on higher character l
evels or after several conversions only while wearing at least one artifact or some expendable equip
ment (like clothes [+0,+0]) in case the gods get angry and want to destroy your equipment.
Regardless of the way you get Healing, you don't need to train it as it trains naturally, but it can
help surviving the early game to spend a couple of skill increases on it. With this skill, you can
regain hitpoints in a reasonable timeframe and can even afford waiting around in one place for your
HP to maximize again without spending too much food.
d) Law
This skill makes you aware of chaotic and lawful deeds you just did. If you did something chaotic, t
he message is "You feel as if transgressing some law". If you did something lawful, the message is "
You feel as if behaving in proper form". This skill is not very useful, because, honestly, with some
brains and ADOM experience, you know that stuff yourself. Of course you are transgressing some law
if you slaughter some innocent child or rob a grave! What also diminishes the usefulness of this ski
ll is that it kicks in after you've already done what you did, and you can't make it undone. Still,
you can learn for the future. The skill is not easy to get, however: You need to kill both Kranach a
nd Hotzenplotz to be rewarded with the Law skill by Tywat Pare.
e) Pick locks
With this skill and thieves picks (see Disarm traps to know how to get them), you can open and close
door locks. What sounds like a nice skill is actually not that useful once you think about it. Ther
e are two kinds of locked doors: Trapped ones and untrapped ones. The untrapped locked doors are eas
ily kicked down. The trapped ones are the only ones for which Pick locks is of use. However, if you
don't have a high Pick locks skill, the trap is likely to be sprung while unsuccessfully trying to o
pen the door. Later on in the game, wands of knocking and keys take the place of Pick locks. Also, t
he Disarm traps skill can be used to disarm door traps, after which you can, again, simply kick down
the door. This skill might be useful to use doors to hem in monsters without the appropriate key, b
ut Barbarians probably have no desire to use such a cowardly tactic. Also, by the time you're likely
to obtain thieves picks (they're rare as fuck), you should have an almost complete assortment of ke
ys. This skill is probably not worth the money you have to pay Yergius for him to teach it to you. S
till, it's your call.
f) Tactics
You need Leadership and Conscription for this. (Yeah, I know... I gotta stop this.) Fitting that a s
kill as valuable as this should close the list! A sound knowledge of tactics improves the benefits a
nd decreases the penalties of non-normal tactics settings: Your berserking becomes more brutal (more
to-hit and damage), but less reckless (more DV); your cowardice becomes more defensive (more DV), b
ut less cowardly (more to-hit and damage). A Barbarian who knows how to use the tactics settings to
his benefit can only profit from the Tactics skill, and this he can greatly, as the effect is consid
erable. The higher Tactics becomes, the less worthwhile it is to remain in the normal setting at all
; even a change to normal aggressive or defensive tactics will become a good bargain in either direc
tion - the normal defensive mode is wonderful in the endgame since it yields usually a two digit DV
bonus for sacrificing only a slight amount of to-hit and damage. It's a question of playing style in
general, but everyone benefits from this skill in some way, even if it's only the chance not to be
hit by a greater titan's quarrel while running for your life in coward mode. That's why you should g
et it in any case. Like Backstabbing, this skill can be taught by Bart, the grizzled gladiator; you
just have to give him the golden gladius - and it's well worth it.
8. Talents
A very detailed and recommended section on talents is included in the guidebook. Here only my though
ts.
If you get only one starting talent, you should choose either Alert or Strong of Will. For me it's A
lert all the way for Treasure Hunter, but you may feel differently. With Strong of Will, you can bec
ome a Melee Weapon Master. Being a Melee Weapon Master adds 3 to melee damage and to hit. Nice enoug
h. However, you have to invest heavily in it: It costs 7 talents including the starting talent. Than
kfully, out of these seven prerequisites, at least four (if not more, since you could find several d
ifferent kickass weapons for different situations) can be called useful. Only Strong of Will itself
isn't very useful in any case.
What is said about all the other talents in the guidebook applies. Just ignore Long Stride. Three re
asons: First, you have Athletics, providing decent enough speed (If your speed sucks due to being bl
oated and strained, even Long Stride won't help...). Second, you get a class power at level 12 that
makes Long Stride completely obsolete. Third and last, your Barbarian ain't a goddamn coward! If you
want to be a bit faster before 12, choose the Quick talent early. After 12, the only thing that can
make you even faster NOTICABLY are seven league boots.
I can't decide on a single "best" talent set. Sometimes your early game problems dictate the talents
you take in early levels.
Keep in mind every Barbarian almost HAS TO take Basher, Powerful Strike and Mighty Strike, as all th
eir crowning gifts (except for elves) are compatible with these. That especially holds true for thos
e getting crowned with Vanquisher. While other heavy weapons may get six additional damage out of th
ese talents, Vanquisher gets a whopping twelve against almost any enemy (and certainly all those of
note), further amplified by berserk mode and tremendous blows to more than 36 extra damage with only
three talents. Tasty, tasty damage... That's why I'd advise against choosing the shield talents unt
il after your crowning: Getting Skullcrusher gives you entirely different preferences in that compar
ed to getting Vanquisher. (For Grod, again what was said about Vanquisher applies - but it isn't tha
t popular a weapon despite slaying powers.)
Aggressive and Natural Berserker are also a decent choice if you find yourself using berserk tactics
a fair deal, which admittedly I did. The extra 2 damage are amplified through tremendous blows. Six
extra damage, twelve if you're using Vanquisher.
Trolls and orcs suffer from their horribly short lifespans. Because of that, you might even consider
to choose neither Alert nor Strong of Will, but Long-Lived. The loss of Treasure Hunter and Melee W
eapon Master does suck a bit, though, so every trollish or orcish Barbarian LOVES that extra talent
from Candle and Falcon!
Average Melee Weapon Master Barbarian That Doesn't Want Treasure (minimal talents):
Strong of Will, Careful, Defensive Fighter, Quick, Affinity with Weapon One, Affinity with Weapon Tw
o, Affinity with Weapon Three, Melee Weapon Master, Dodger, Very Quick, Greased Lightning, Porter, M
aster Packager, Beast of Burden, Basher, Powerful Strike, Mighty Strike.
(Alternatives for the Porter or Basher chains are Good Shot, Keen Shot, Quick Shot. Also, Hardy, Tou
gh Skin, Iron Skin and Steel Skin can be considered, especially if you're a dwarf and can get Mithri
l Skin as well - though that only leaves you with Porter, with minimal talents at least. The Shield
talents may be a worthwhile alternative to the Porter talents.)
Treasure Hunting Barbarian (minimal talents):

Alert, Miser, Treasure Hunter, Quick, Very Quick, Greased Lightning, Careful, Defensive Fighter, Dod
ger, Porter, Master Packager, Basher, Mighty Strike, Powerful Strike, Good Shot, Keen Shot, Quick Sh
ot.
(Again, it's worthwhile to choose the PV chain if you're a dwarf, and the Shield talents can be a wo
rthwhile alternative)
Barbarian Going Both Ways (two starting talents):

Alert, Strong of Will, Miser, Treasure Hunter, Careful, Defensive Fighter, Affinity with Weapon One,
Affinity with Weapon Two, Affinity with Weapon Three, Melee Weapon Master, Dodger, Quick, Very Quic
k, Greased Lightning, Porter, Master Packager, Beast of Burden, Free Slot.
(I don't actually know what to insert in the free slot... Maybe you could sacrifice Master Packager
and Beast of Burden and get the Basher, Shield Master or Good, Keen, Quick Shot line with the help o
f the free slot. Personally, I think you have too few talents left after going for Treasure Hunter A
ND Melee Weapon Master.)

es Alert and Strong of Will, making good use of the extra talents.

ith mediocre Mana scores), you can even get Heir AND Alert AND Strong of Will - after which you'll h
ave the "Barbarian Going Both Ways" build, if you like.
IV. Equipment
1. Melee weapons
Barbarians don't need much to be successful, but every Barbarian that doesn't want to be crushed by
the really dangerous opponents needs at least one melee weapon. They're dangerous in unarmed combat,
of course, but unarmed combat for anyone but monks and beastfighters is like fighting with only a k
nife - it's doable, but far from the best way. Barbarians are strong by themselves, but their streng
th becomes game-winning strength only with a kickass melee weapon in their hand or both hands.
However, the melee weapon is only one part of a Barbarian's battle prowess in melee: much greater is
the influence of the weapon skill. Even the mightiest sword is not worth very much if your Barbaria
n still has to find out which end to hold and which to stick into monsters. If you want to become re
ally powerful with a weapon, you have to train in it. A Barbarian that wants to achieve mastery in a
ll the weapon classes, however, would have to play for a very, very long time, but the first levels
are very quickly achieved in general.
In the early game, you should use the weapon that deals the most damage, taking your weapon skill in
to account. If you're already pretty skilled with your old weapon, using that instead of a newly fou
nd weapon with slightly higher damage and to-hit is better. But if the new weapon manages to be bett
er even when taking the weapon skill into account, I'd use it, especially considering how quick you
can achieve the first three levels or so in weapon skill.
However, sooner or later you'll find an artifact weapon. And some artifact weapons are more powerful
than a "regular" weapon could ever hope to be.
Anyway, here's a list of the weapon classes. I'll give you a general evaluation of that weapon class
, as some offer better weapons than others, and are thus more likely to be of use in the end of the
game.
a) Unarmed fighting
Rating: poor
Good weapons: Your bare hands and feet
Compatibility with the basher talents: None
Hands: Depends. You can fight bare-handed, wearing only one shield, or wear two shields and kick you
r opponents.
As has been stated, unarmed fighting isn't a very worthwhile endeavour for a Barbarian. It only does
damage like a dagger or knife would, and this without a single magical property. While on Grand Mas
tery the DV offered isn't bad, Polearm, whip or staff (not to mention shield) DV is superior, and th
ese classes offer some powerful weapons. It's cool to kill diamond golems in unarmed combat and a le
vel 50 Barbarian can certainly pull it off, but your chances against the most powerful opponents in
the game look grim.
b) Daggers and Knives

Rating: medium
Good weapons: eternium dagger, dagger of death, phase dagger, orcish dagger (bloody), Emerald Bite,
Needle and Sting
Compatibility with the Basher talents: Practically nonexistant. Only "heavy" prefixes might work.
Hands: 100% one-handed.
I'll admit it doesn't look very Barbarian-like, but daggers and knives are actually not that bad a w
eapon class to train in. Compared to other weapon classes, daggers and knives will always deal a bit
less damage, sure, but there are very useful and powerful weapons in this class. First, Emerald Bit
e, a poisonous humanoid slayer with a higher chance to score critical hits. Second, the phase dagger
, a weapon that bypasses PV. It should be noted, however, that PV is less of a problem for Barbarian
s than it would be for other melee classes because of the tremendous blow class power. Also, the mag
ical suffix "of penetration" has the same effect and can appear on any melee weapon on any class. St
ill, phase daggers are the only PV-bypassing weapon that can be wished for. The other two very power
ful daggers are the rune-covered twin daggers Needle and Sting. These can't be obtained until late i
n the game, however, and if you do get them both, they become so powerful dagger weapon skill isn't
an issue. To sum it up, I wouldn't call it a waste to train in this weapon skill because of the phas
e daggers, and I highly recommend specializing in it should you find Emerald Bite, which you can be
precrowned with.
c) Clubs and Hammers

Rating: medium
Good weapons: eternium warhammer, large eternium hammer, Skullcrusher
Compatibility with the Basher talents: Not all that bad because of Skullcrusher. Hammer of the gods,
iron-made large hammers and huge iron hammers qualify, but aren't that worthwhile to use.
Hands: huge iron hammers and hammer of the gods two-handed, rest one-handed.
This weapon class isn't spectacular. The only decent clubs and hammers in the game are either eterni
um-made or Skullcrusher. A case could be made for the hammer of the gods, but I feel it doesn't comp
ensate for its two-handedness and rarity enough. Skullcrusher, a humanoid slayer with a nice strengt
h bonus, is the reason why Clubs and Hammers still gets a decent rating from me, as it is a crowning
gift for the Barbarian - one with a 33% (28% for elves) chance to get at that. It can also be found
randomly, and thus be obtained with precrowns. If the result of your crowning is not Skullcrusher a
nd you don't seem to be able to find it, however, I advise against fighting with clubs or hammers to
o long. Exchange your large eternium hammer for a better weapon.
d) Maces and Flails

Rating: medium
Good weapons: eternium flail, mace of destruction, mace of disruption, Purifier, Big Punch
Compatibility with the Basher talents: High, Purifier, Big Punch and the magical maces qualify; eter
nium flail does not.
Hands: All the halfway decent weapons are one-handed.
This weapon class is not spectacular, but not that bad either. Maces of destruction and eternium fla
ils are damage-dealers and otherwise not out of the ordinary. Big Punch deals even more damage than
these and is a weapon you are guaranteed to get as the quest reward for doing the last Thrundarr que
st, but it's heavy as hell. Maces of disruption don't deal a lot of damage, but are undead slayers a
nd can come in handy against these, but mostly their base damage is too low to justify using them ot
herwise. The only weapon of this weapon class that really shines is Purifier. It slays Undead, Demon
and Constructs (Unlife). This means it works against balors, which is always nice, and several othe
r dangerous end-game opponents. However, with its low base damage and the fact it doesn't slay human
oids, it's not the best artifact weapon - and on top of that, very rare. If you do find yourself usi
ng maces and flails, don't forget to get the Basher talents, as almost any mace or flail that is wor
th using gets extra damage from it. The reason this class gets a relatively good rating is the damag
e flails tend to deal, which is greater than that of broadswords or battle axes made from the same m
etal. Maces of destruction (and Big Punch) surpass swords of sharpness in raw damage and are compati
ble with the basher talents. Still, maces and flails are somewhat less plenty than swords in the beg
inning.
e) Swords
Rating: medium
Good weapons: eternium long sword, scimitar and broadsword, sword of sharpness
Compatibility with the Basher talents: Practically non-existant, see daggers and knives
A classic of any RPG. You can't go wrong with swords, right? Actually, in this case it's not that go
od an idea. Barbarians aren't crowned with swords that actually belong to the Swords class, and the
artifact swords that can be gotten aren't that useful. The golden gladius is okay, but you need the
Tactics skill you can only get if you give it away. The sword of Nonnak does pitiful damage - it's o
nly useful to spellcasters because of the willpower bonus. Justifier, the most powerful sword of all
, is probably not available to any but those that can be crowned with it, and Barbarians aren't amon
g them. Still, swords of sharpness are among the most powerful single-handed melee weapons that are
not artifacts, and higher metal swords in general are pretty easy to find especially early on. This
weapon class is good early on, but it tops out somewhere in the mid game in its usefulness. That's w
hy you should probably switch sometime earlier.
f) Axes
Rating: medium
Good weapons: eternium battle axe, Rolf's Companion, Executor, Hammerhead
Compatibility with the Basher talents: Very low. Only orcish battle axes and stone axes apply, and t
hey're pretty weak.
What do you see in your mind first if you hear the word "Barbarian"? A big motherfuckin' axe, exactl
y. Actually, the Big Motherfuckin' Axe (or great axe, or axe of the minotaur emperor) is not a part
of the Axes weapon class - it's part of the two-handed weapons class. These are the axes that you ca
n wield in one hand. This weapon class is actually not bad as there are good artifact weapons for it
. Rolf's Companion can be obtained by lawful characters in dwarftown, Executor and Hammerhead have t
o be randomly found. Hammerhead and Rolf's Companion are very similar in power, but Executor is what
makes this weapon class really shine: It slays humanoids and demons! The fact that it curses you is
only a minor setback if you consider the humanoid slaying, probably the most useful slaying power o
f all. Of course, if you don't find Executor, axes are like swords: Mediocre in the end, good to use
until the mid game.
g) Whips
Rating: poor
Good weapons: whip of the snake, whip of slaughtering
Compatibility with the Basher talents: Practically non-existant.
This weapon class is pretty horrible. Whips of the snake and of slaughtering are the only worthwhile
weapons to use, and they are very rare. Even if you find them, they are quite a lot weaker than goo
d artifact weapons and some eternium-made weapons of other weapon classes, and there are no artifact
whips. Whips do offer a nice DV bonus, but the one the pole arms class offers is greater. So in gen
eral, unless you love doing things the exotic way or role-play Indiana Jones, don't use whips.
h) Pole arms
Rating: medium (good if born in Raven)
Good weapons: eternium spear, eternium halberd, Wyrmlance, rune-covered trident, Trident of the Red
Rooster
Compatibility with the Basher talents: Low, Trident of the Red Rooster is the only powerful weapon t
hat applies.
Hands: Fifty-fifty, the most powerful pole arms tend to require two hands to wield.
This weapon class would be a lot better if the Trident of the Red Rooster weren't such a pain to get
. Even so, the rune-covered trident - available as a quest reward to all characters that reach level
36, or even 16 if they're Raven - is a very nice weapon since it slays undead and demons and deals
pretty awesome damage. Most notably, it's effective against balors on D:50: If you are capable of de
feating the balors on D:50, winning the game is pretty easy. A Raven-born Barbarian should actually
try to get this weapon as early as possible: as soon as at least two uses of on-demand teleportation
and a ring of the fish (or helm of water breathing) are found.
For most PCs, below level 36 you simply don't get very powerful pole arms save for a randomly found
Wyrmlance. Eternium spears are a powerful combination with shields because of the DV bonus a high po
le arms skill yields: You won't deal the enormous assloads of damage you could get with other weapon
s (though it's still assloads because of tremendous blow), but you'll be hit much less often. None o
f your crowning weapons, however, is part of this weapon class.
i) Two-handed weapons
Rating: good
Good weapons: eternium two-handed sword, Vanquisher, Grod, axe of the minotaur emperor
Compatibility with the Basher talents: Alright, higher metal two-handed swords do not qualify, the a
rtifacts do.
Hands: Two. Duh.
For those who already wet their pants at the thought of wielding a big motherfuckin' axe, I have to
disappoint you: The great axe isn't spectacular. It's almost equal to the two-handed sword in power
- the iron two-handed sword. Higher metal two-handed swords are the two-handed weapons to use in the
later game. Except, of course, you plan on using the axe of the minotaur emperor. Remember, however
, how much of a pain in the ass the Minotaur Maze is for non-spellcasters.
Two-handed weapons might not be the best weapon class for anybody, but I think it's the best for Bar
barians. That's because two-handed weapons deal the greatest raw damage of all - Needle & Sting asid
e. The higher your damage output, the greater effect will tremendous and mighty blows have. The two-
handed weapons weapon skill itself assists this even more due to its unequalled damage bonus (Over t
hirty points of extra damage on Grand Mastery!). And then there is Vanquisher, which a non-elven Bar
barian has a 33% chance to get, and there is Grod, obtainable with a 16% chance. There's a whopping
66% chance for your crowning gift to be a two-handed weapon in general (though Death's Blade is hard
ly superior to an eternium two-handed sword). Vanquisher is the wet dream of any Barbarian due to it
s power of slaying almost ANYTHING, and Grod offers nice base damage, immunity to fire, higher criti
cal chances, and at least giant and demon slaying. Even if your crowning gift doesn't turn out this
way, an eternium two-handed sword is powerful enough to be used with success until the very endgame,
especially if you find one with certain magical properties (penetration or devastation spring to mi
nd). Still, Skullcrusher with a shield is probably better as long as you don't find one with those.
j) Staves
Rating: poor
Good weapons: eternium-shod quarterstaff, quicksilver quarterstaff
Compatibility with the Basher talents: Practically non-existant.
Hands: 100% two-handed.
Of all the weapon classes, this one offers the highest DV bonus. Nice? Pointless, as it doesn't make
up for the lack of being able to wear a shield. A good single-handed weapon with a good shield will
always be better than any staff. Investing weapon skill training in this weapon skill is probably a
waste. Except in the case that you stumble across an eternium-shod quarterstaff in the small cave o
r something, don't fight with a staff. Certain magical staves might be worthwhile to use for a spell
casting character, but you're a Barbarian!
2. Missile weapons
Why does a Barbarian need missile weapons? Well, first of all, you can't use spells. So what happens
if you encounter an opponent that you can't engage in melee? Karmic lizards? Master swordsmen and r
atling duelists with their nasty habit of disarming you? Hotzenplotz with his poisonous melee attack
s? Fleeing enemies that are faster than you? You can use wands against most of these enemies, grante
d. But wands and the booze to recharge them with don't grow on trees. So there is no good excuse not
to use some sort of missile weapon.
However, there is a second incentive to use missile weapons, especially bows and crossbows, and that
is slaying ammunition. With "slaying ammunition", I refer to arrows and quarrels that have the powe
r to slay a certain type of monster: "arrow of dragon slaying" for instance. These are randomly drop
ped by monsters frequently, and almost always come in bundles. And their power is obvious: They can,
when supported by decent dexterity and missile weapon skill, slay the thing they're supposed to sla
y a lot better than your melee attack could - except, of course, if your melee weapon also "slays",
but only artifacts (and maces of disruption for undead and rabbit knives for battle bunnies) can do
that. And on top of that, slaying ammunition can slay from afar - and the more powerful opponents ha
ve usually devastating melee attacks or eat your stats as if they're pizza. Some, if not most, don't
have distance attacks at all, meaning you simply get powerful free hits with your missile attack.
Lastly, when you encounter an opponent, normally you have to run up to him or hit "5" until he is ne
xt to you so you can use your melee weapon. But isn't that time better spent shooting some missiles
at your enemy in berserk mode to soften him up for the melee fight?
So, we've established you want to use missile attacks, and I've given you a very good reason to use
bows and crossbows. And I mean bows AND crossbows. Specializing in one of them means better damage o
f course, but I promise you that you won't find all the kinds of slaying ammunition for only one of
these. What will you do if you train in bows only and engage an ancient karmic dragon and suddenly f
ind out that all your dragon slaying ammunition comes in quarrels? Bite yourself in the ass, that's
what. Train both weapons with the normal ammunition you find, the first levels in the missile weapon
skills are very easy to obtain and already help a lot.
Slings, no (unless you're a gnome in the early game). Throwing weapons, hell no (Except, maybe, boom
erangs of slaying or something like that, or to become a throwing spears specialist to prepare for t
he rune-covered trident). Missile attacks play a supporting role for your Barbarian, and bows and cr
ossbows give the best support. Hurthling Barbarians have the added advantage that they get the most
powerful missile attacks of any Barbarian, making them all the better at the described uses of missi
le attacks.
3. Armor
Some dismiss wearing armor as a sign of weakness. "Some" tend to die pretty easily. You should be sm
arter and wear the best armor you can find. There are two kinds of armor values: DV and PV. You beco
me harder to hit the higher your DV is, and every time you are hit, the damage caused is reduced by
your PV value except for the cases where monsters punch through your armor, as claw bugs do. PV is t
he more useful armor value in the early game. A PV of 10 or higher makes you invincible against the
attacks of puny goblins and rats, and you won't feel much even from orc chieftain or kobold chieftai
n attacks. If you manage to get a PV value of 15 or higher, you can consider yourself very well prot
ected for early game purposes. So in the early game, the PV value of the armor dictates its worth.
As the game progresses, monsters deal higher base damage, and thus their criticals add even more dam
age. Critical hits by monsters do not bypass PV, however - they simply deal double damage. Simply? C
heck the maths regarding monster PV for tremendous blows again - the effect of dealing multiplied da
mage. Well, the same applies for monsters against you! When your PV is, say, 50 (a realistic endgame
value), and a monster can deal a maximum of 50 damage normally, normally you'd think you can sit th
ere and laugh at its puny attempts to hurt you. But if that monster deals a critical hit with maximu
m damage, you lose 50 hitpoints. That's a lot - enough to kill you depending on the circumstances, a
fter all, the monster could have several attacks and luck out with these as well, or you could be fi
ghting several opponents at once, or already be pretty hurt!
The more powerful the attacks of the monsters become, the less reliable is PV, and as a consequence
the more valuable becomes DV. When you become harder to hit, you will suffer less hits in general, a
nd thus criticals. And if you do get hit, a reasonable PV value allows you to absorb most of that da
mage as well. A good combination of high DV and PV is what you want in the endgame, but it doesn't m
atter all that much whether your PV is 30 or 50 if you have a DV of 90.
Berserk mode lowers DV, but due to the fact that monsters are destroyed more quickly in it you're hi
t about as or even less often as you would have been in normal mode, especially with a high Tactics
skill. But with a lousy DV from equipment, your Barbarian will still be hit too often, berserk mode
or not - except, of course, you avoid to be even attacked thanks to attacking and movement speed.
For PV, it's pretty easy: Higher metals offer better protection. Better DV mostly isn't gained from
armor parts (though some high quality armor parts give DV boni), but higher metal body armor doesn't
have as high DV penalties. Shields are the most effective source of DV. In the case of shields, I c
onsider DV the more important property in the long run (again, in the very early game, every extra p
oint of PV helps survival): A [+11, +2] shield is better than a [+9, +4] shield. This is because of
the special relationship the DV of your shield has with the shield weapon skill: Even if your shield
skill would allow for a higher gain, the maximum DV gained by the skill is equal to double the DV b
onus of your current shield. Your endgame shield should be either a eternium or crystal tower shield
or the artifact shield Protector (or maybe the shield of raw steel - though that should be consider
ed toying with fire!).
Another thing: If you want the absolute supreme armor in DV/PV terms, the Smithing skill is your ult
imate tool, as it can improve any kind of metal gear by a very large margin - BOTH DV and PV. Check
the skill description for more information.
Scrolls of defense and protection should always be preserved for those parts of your armor that can'
t be smithed and are pretty low on DV and PV already. Seven league boots or magical girdles (Like gi
rdles of giant strength) are good examples.
4. Magical equipment
There is a large assortment of magical items to be found in the game. Some are of great use to a Bar
barian. Since Barbarians are usually illiterate for quite some time, there is a need for wield-ident
ifying (equipping items to see what they do). This doesn't always work, is not generally a safe thin
g to do, and for some kinds of items, it can be potentially fatal. The risk of being stuck with a cu
rsed item can be considerably lowered by determining the status of an item before wield-identifying
it, which can be done by dropping the item on a coaligned altar. If an item is uncursed or blessed,
you will be able to unequip it again safely unless that item is auto-cursing. Auto-cursing items are
rare, and for some types of items there are none at all, making it safe to equip these once you kno
w they aren't cursed.
a) Rings
Rings of slaying are very desirable, as the six points of melee damage added by them multiplies when
you take berserk mode and tremendous blows into consideration: the effect is equal to the effect of
the Basher talent PLUS Good Shot, Keen Shot and Eagle Eye (to-hit increases of those aside)! There
is a lot of other possibilities for ring slots, and sometimes using a certain ring is simply a neces
sity. Early on in the game, rings you find will not be even identified for quite some time. Wield-id
entifying is generally not advisable, as it is possible to find yourself crushed by tons of luggage
due to equipping a ring of weakness, and you may get yourself stuck with rings of doom (very nasty)
or of the fish, which both autocurse as well. However, the majority of rings is harmless; though any
ring can be cursed and force you to wear them until water can be blessed or scrolls of uncursing ca
n be read. Other useful rings include the ring of teleport control (almost essential if you don't ha
ve it as an intrinsic thanks to a pool or blink dog corpses, useless if you do), artifact rings like
the ring of the High Kings, the ring of the Master Cat or the ring of immunity, rings of mental sta
bility or speed (especially if they are of high quality) and other, specialized rings depending on t
he situation. (It's good to remember those two rings of acid resistance in your pack when you see an
acid vortex heading right towards you, and the ring of see invisible is the only non-artifact item
that grants that particular intrinsic.)
b) Amulets
You'll find yourself changing amulets pretty often during a game. The reason for that is the wide va
riety of amulets that grant special resistances. While rings offer mostly elemental, stun and confus
ion resistance, petrification, paralyzation and death ray resistance is restricted to amulets. Pick
up any amulet you find. When you encounter a gorgon, switch to petrification resistance. When you en
counter a mimic or dorn beast, switch to free action. When you encounter Nuurag-Vaarn, an emperor li
ch or a ki-rin, switch to death ray resistance. Of course, if you have these resistances from anothe
r source, you can use other amulets in the amulet slot. The ankh is a nice choice if only for the ad
ded luck and the DV/PV offered. Amulets of speed offer a small advantage, as is true for most of the
other amulets. You should only wear an amulet of life saving, if you have one, before a great battl
e, it can be destroyed too easily by traps if you use it for everyday exploring. If you're really lu
cky, though, you'll find Preserver, and then you'll never want to change your amulet again ever.
Early game Barbarians should remember that amulets of light are always glass amulets, and are very u
seful for exploring those dark rooms and adding to your range of sight. For all other amulets note t
hat there is one amulet with a negative effect, which also autocurses - one that can slowly kill ear
ly game PCs: amulets of hunger. Wield-identifying thus carries risks. There is one other autocursing
amulet - but you should be aware of its dangerous nature after having seen what it has done to its
previous owner.
c) Helmets
Helms of mental stability increase Learning, a semi-important stat for Barbarians, and grant confusi
on resistance, an important intrinsic. Helms of water breathing are only really useful in the water
cave. Helms of teleportation let you randomly teleport, which is nice if you want to save your on-de
mand teleportation sources for emergencies. Crowns of regeneration are very powerful, but vulnerable
to fire. Red, white and blue crowns offer elemental immunities for special occasions. All of these
except helms of mental stability can be smithed to your liking! Wield-identifying headgear carries n
ext to no risk - the worst that can happen is that you get stuck with a cursed low-qualitiy helm stu
ck on your head. There are no auto-cursing helms (safe for two artifact crowns found late in the gam
e, which also both doom, so take care), so feel free to wield-identify all the helms you know aren't
cursed.
d) Girdles
The best girdle in the game is the girdle of giant strength. It has only one weakness: It can be eas
ily destroyed, especially by fire. And suddenly losing 12 or more points of strength from one moment
to the other is something not all PCs can deal with. Still, Barbarians LOVE strength. The regular g
irdle of strength is probably not worth it compared to a higher metal girdle. Girdles of carrying ar
e very useful, but have the same weakness as the girdle of giant strength. Girdles of greed are usef
ul in the Casino, and if you have at least the Porter talents, you can use a certain exploit to incr
ease your carrying capacity to the potentially unlimited: Blessed girdles of greed increase your car
rying capacity by the exact weight of your gold. However, Porter talents increase the capacity AFTER
this has happened, meaning that girdles of greed actually yield a net gain in carrying capacity the
more gold you carry: If your carrying capacity were 2000 without gold or blessed girdle of greed, b
ut you have Porter, wearing 100 stones in gold with a blessed girdle of greed would increase your ca
rrying capacity to 2121, meaning you can wear 21 stones more in total. Wearing 1000 stones in gold i
ncreases carrying capacity to 3300 (300 extra), 10000 stones in gold to 13200 (1200 extra), 2 billio
n stones in gold to 2 billion, 200 million and 2000 (2.200.002.000) stones, meaning you have 200 mil
lion stones of carrying capacity more to fill! However, you can easily predict what will happen shou
ld your girdle of greed be destroyed while exploiting this trick. Money belts, finally, are next to
useless - if anyone ever steals from you, just kill him and take your gold back. You should refrain
from wield-identifying girdles in any case. Not only can cursed girdles of carrying and cursed girdl
es of weight hamper your progress greatly: if your girdle is cursed, you can't change your body armo
r anymore, not even equip one after the old has been damaged or destroyed! However, it's safe to wie
ld-identify girdles you know aren't cursed, as there are no autocursing girdles. Note that magical g
irdles cannot be smithed, only the metal girdles - which are usually non-magical - can.
e) Cloaks
Cloak have the annoying habit of not lasting too long, as they can all be destroyed by fire, water,
lightning, acid or monster hits. The only truly magical cloak is the cloak of invisibility, and in s
ome places it is a tremendous asset. Do not wear it constantly since it consumes food very quickly (
and is, as has been stated, easily destroyed). Wield-identifying cloaks is safe - The worst that can
happen is a cursed cloak with negative properties, and even that one will not be on your shoulders
for long thanks to cloaks high vulnerability to item destruction. Cloaks cannot be smithed, but don'
t invest scrolls of defense or protection in them either.
f) Bracers
If you find the bracers of war, the question of how to use this slot is settled. If you don't, it's
not that tough of a decision either. Bracers of regeneration are probably the best. Bracers of tough
ness come on the next place. Bracers of resistance are pretty nice, as are bracers of speed, bracers
of defense or protection are the most basic and least useful of the bracers. Except for bracers of
toughness and brass bracers (and, obviously, the bracers of war), all bracers can be smithed. Bracer
s in general are rare and wield-identifying is harmless (no auto-cursing, no negative effects), that
s why I usually equip the first pair of bracers I find (except for brass bracers, as they have no ef
fect).
g) Gauntlets
The best gauntlets for a Barbarian are gauntlets of strength, especially Ironfist. A pair of artifac
t gauntlets in general (if not Ironfist, then the elemental gauntlets, which are also very useful) h
as the added advantage that it protects your rings from harm. Only divine forces can destroy rings t
hat are hidden under an artifact gauntlet. Dragon-hide gauntlets offer useful resistances. Gauntlets
that are made of iron can be smithed. These include any kind of dragon-hide gauntlets, normal gaunt
lets, gauntlets of strength and gauntlets of peace (presumably). There are no gauntlets made of othe
r metals than iron. Wield-identifying gauntlets is risky. While there are no gauntlets that cause yo
u direct harm if you equip them, you can become stuck with auto-cursing gauntlets of peace, which ar
e indistinguishable from normal gauntlets while unidentified. Also, being stuck with cursed gauntlet
s means you can't equip or unequip rings, a restriction almost as severe as the one a cursed girdle
has.
h) Boots
Seven league boots are probably the best boots you could ever want, even though the Barbarian class
power on level 12 is a good replacement for them. Apart from the seven leagues, there is only one ty
pe of magical boots that can be of use: Boots of speed. Their speed bonus is significant. The dexter
ity bonus of the boots of sneakiness is nice, but not really that useful. Apart from these two, you
can pretty much only wear non-magical boots for their armor ratings. Metal boots can be smithed, and
they come in all metals. Wield-identifying boots is a pretty harmless endeavour - the boots that ca
n have negative effects are pretty easily recognized by their weights: Boots of the slow shuffle, th
ough they are auto-cursing and have a very negative effect, always weigh 40 stones and are ridiculou
sly rare, seven leagues weigh 30 stones and are either leather, soft or worn boots weighing 30 stone
s. When equipping worn boots you don't know the status of, you should have holy water handy, as curs
ed seven leagues are actually very harmful.
i) Shields
There are no magical shields except for artifact shields. The question of which shield to wear is th
us solely one of DV and PV. Of the artifact shields, Protector is as powerful as Nature's Friend is
useless. The shield of raw steel, a possible quest reward from Kherab, is very powerful, but contain
s the essence of chaos and corruption, making it a dangerous item to use. Shields can be smithed, ex
cept for wooden, crystal and artifact ones. Wield-identiying shields is not recommended since it is
mostly unnecessary. You can recognize the metal from the weight of the shield in relation to its typ
e (small, medium, large, tower): Iron small shields weigh 50 stones, for example. So if you find a s
mall shield that weighs less, you know that it's made of a higher metal, and if you find a small shi
eld weighing more, it has to be made of crystal. Some crystal shields are as powerful as the eterniu
m variety of the shield type, some only live up to the adamantium variety. All crystal shields are b
etter than their mithril counterparts, though. Wield-identifying shields is not that risky, but bein
g stuck with an inferior shield when a better one is found can hurt a lot. If you know the shield is
n't cursed, however, you can freely test it out.
j) Body armor
Dragon scale mails are probably best if available, due to their high armor value coupled with a usef
ul immunity. Except for artifact armor, there are no other inherently magical armors. High-end body
armor can pretty much always be smithed (dragon scale mail can as well, most notably - adamantium),
artifact armor being the notable exception. The robes of resistance and Nature's Companion are prett
y powerful armors despite this weakness. Smithing armor helps mostly with DV. Wield-identifying armo
r is not advisable, as body armor is a pretty important part of your equipment and potentially being
stuck with cursed armor is not something you want, especially since there is a variety of nasty ran
dom magical effects for body armor (such as worm-ridden, charged, trapped, or auto-locking).
5. Crowning gifts
Barbarians can only get one of four artifacts as crowning gifts, five if elven. Two of these, Vanqui
sher and Skullcrusher, have double the probablity to become your new shiny toy. Let's look at these
babies closer, shall we?
a) Vanquisher
1 in 3 chance to get for non-elves, 2 in 7 for high/gray elves
+3 to-hit, 6d5+3 damage, -3 DV, slays humanoids, giants, undead, constructs, demons, dragons and jel
ly
Twohanded Weapons
The silvery two-handed sword, the only two-handed sword weighing 300 stones, is the wet dream of eve
ry Barbarian in the whole wide world. Sure, its base damage and to-hit is highly inferior to, say, a
n eternium two-handed sword, but look at its slaying properties. Remember that "slaying" means "doub
le damage". And "double damage" refers to total damage, not only the damage of Vanquisher itself. Al
l your strength, your melee damage increasing talents, your weapon skill damage boni, magical items
that increase damage, berserk mode, tremendous blow, Backstabbing bonus - all that is DOUBLED if you
use Vanquisher against the kinds of opponents it slays. And pretty much the only thing of note it d
oesn't slay is animals, and by the time you can get crowned, there is not a single animal that would
n't fall before you, Vanquisher or not. With this weapon, your Barbarian is a devastating demigod of
death and destruction!
b) Skullcrusher
+12 to-hit, 3d6+2 damage, -3 DV, slays humanoids, +4 strength, resistance to stunning and confusion
Clubs and Hammers
The rune-covered club weighing 120 stones isn't too hot when it comes to raw damage. Actually, it's
even pretty bad in that regard. However, you get four extra points of strength directly translating
to more damage, you get the humanoid slaying power, which works against quite a number of opponents,
and the weapon is Basher-compatible. This weapon is especially nice to have against Nuurag-Vaarn, a
s he tries to confuse you very frequently and several sources of confusion resistance increase your
chance not to be affected. Also, Nuurag-Vaarn is humanoid, as are balors and Andor Drakon, incidenta
lly. It might not be the perfect weapon for use against anything, but it's not bad.
c) Grod
+16 to-hit, 5d10+5 damage, -8 DV, slays giants and demons, higher critical chance, resistance to stu
nning, immunity to fire
Twohanded Weapons
220 stones is the weight of the mighty morning star, a two-handed weapon which is also part of the t
wo-handed weapon class. In raw damage and to-hit, it surpasses Vanquisher. Its DV penalty is hefty,
though. Also, while Vanquisher slays everything, Grod slays only demons and giants, not humanoids. T
he higher critical chance and the raw damage makes it dangerous in melee nonetheless, and the immuni
ty to fire is a nice gimmick. Grod is more powerful than an eternium two-handed sword taking the hig
her critical chance and the compatibility with the Basher talents into account, and it can easily de
stroy balors on D:50, making it worthwhile to use. It lacks the "Kill 'em all" feeling of Vanquisher
, though, and it hurts your chances in defense with its -8 to DV. All in all, an okay crowning gift,
but I'd be more grateful for Vanquisher, Skullcrusher or even Sun's Messenger.
d) Death's Blade
+6, 6d8+6 damage, +4 DV, resistance to death rays
Twohanded Weapons
The heaviest of the crowning gifts at 400 stones, the ancient claymore "Death's Blade" is also the r
elatively worst. Its damage-dealing capabilities in comparison to a run-of-the-mill eternium two-han
ded sword don't look that hot, unless you have the Basher talents to support it with. (The math: Ave
rage eternium two-handed sword deals 24-48 damage averaging 36, Death's Blade 12-52 averaging 32, wh
ich can be increased to 38 with the Basher talents.) And while it has 12 lower to-hit, it somewhat m
akes up for that with five more DV and the death ray resistance. If Death's Blade is only slightly b
etter than an eternium two-handed sword, how does it look compared to Grod and Vanquisher with their
slaying powers? Death ray resistance may be more easily acquired with an amulet or the ancient mumm
y wrapping. It's not as horrible an artifact as, say, Soaker or Bugbiter, but it certainly isn't a r
eason to jump around in circles. Depending on your item finding luck, you could find yourself with n
othing better to use, though.
e) Sun's Messenger
1 in 7 chance for high/gray elves only
+15 to-hit and damage, slays undead
Wondering why the elven long bow deserves a spot in this list? All high and gray elves, regardless o
f their class, can be crowned with Sun's Messenger, so if you ended up playing one of these races wi
th your Barbarian, you may find yourself with this. Since Barbarians love to use bows and crossbows
alike (as has been explained in an earlier section), they don't sneer at this masterpiece of elven c
raftsmanship, but cherish it! Powerful undead can show up anytime, and the +15 to-hit and damage far
surpass anything a non-artifact bow can dish out. Say goodbye to those pesky emperor liches as your
blessed eternium arrows shoot forth from this wonder!
Aside from the items already mentioned in the previous sections (the good weapons for each class, th
e magical equipment like the girdle of giant strength or seven league boots) there is, naturally, a
couple of very good choices for a wish. Like in the Archer guide, this should be taken as a general
pool of ideas - except the first wish mentioned, which is very much worth it. Again, if you wish for
items, always try to wish for them in plural - "pairs of" is the plural for gauntlets and boots.
- "Amulet of life saving", for the dying sage (Remember: Six blessed scrolls of chaos resistance 4 U
!)
- "scrolls of chaos resistance", if you're paranoid (and have reason to be)
- "Find Weakness", if you don't have it and didn't get Vanquisher (Vanquisher makes Find Weakness ob
solete)
- "Concentration", if you want to dabble in spellcasting affairs (but I don't make any guarantees th
at you'll be successfull)
- "scrolls of education", if you want to get lots of new skills (bless them!)
- "magical writing sets", should you have seen scrolls of education or of chaos resistance and want
to make more
- "Alchemy", though it's folly to obtain it if you can't max it in time for the PoGA recipe
- "wands of destruction" for an easier time on D:50
- "rings of ice" for an easier time in the Tower of Eternal Flames
#NAME?
- "potions of quickling blood" (yummy speed)
- "potions of youth" (if you've been raped by ghost lords)
- "potions of strength" (bless them both and gulp them down for four permanent extra points of stren
gth)
- "maces of destruction" in case you want a powerful, basher-compatible one-handed melee weapon
5. Barbarian vs. Boss
a) Keethrax
Why the hell are you fighting against Keethrax? You already have Herbalism and the black torc is shi
t, Healing is what you would have needed! Sigh. Well, it can't be helped. Against Keethrax, be resis
tant to fire, go up to him and start bashing him. If you engage him in a hallway, you can ignore the
Darkness spells as you will be able to hit him just as hard in the dark. If he is in a room and sta
ys in there, you should have an amulet of light or a torch ready. Keethrax can hit somewhat hard, so
finish him off as quickly as you can. Mighty blows in berserk mode with a decent weapon should take
him down in two hits. I'd consider fighting him with a Barbarian of level 8 and upwards. Below can
work too, but you have to be pretty powerful, orc or troll for instance.
b) Hotzenplotz
Don't melee him. Don't let him even come near you. I know, you're a Barbarian, honorable battle and
all that, but do you have any desire to be poisoned to death? Good. If you trust your missile weapon
skills enough, you may shoot him in berserk mode and hope that you manage to kill him before he rea
ches you. This works especially well with a Barbarian of at least level 12 because of the class powe
r. Shoot, run away, shoot, repeat until Hotzenplotz is dead. Grunge and Munge can be meleed without
risking poisoning damage, though they can occasionally hit hard. If you don't have missile skills go
od enough to do the trick, you can use wands. Wands of lightning or magic missiles work especially w
ell if you can get them to bounce and hit Hotzenplotz twice with one shot. Simply seek a bit of dist
ance, stay in coward mode and shoot until Hotzenplotz is dead, at least until a berserk finishing bl
ow can hope to catch him. Wands of poison are an especially clever way to kill Hotzenplotz. Simply r
un away from him in coward mode until he croaks. Using wands is a lot less risky than using missiles
. Being able to run away in general is good against Hotzenplotz, so try and keep your speed as high
as possible. Every Barbarian has Athletics, so even below level 12 you are faster than him while unb
urdened und non-satiated.
c) Rehetep
Against Rehetep, you can go for brute force; but undead slaying ammo or the wand of fireballs from T
hrundarr are the best way. His mummies are not very dangerous, but have some curaria mancox handy in
case you are sickened. His servants can be more problematic. Be prepared for as large a variety of
out-of-depth monsters as possible, have means of invisibility so you aren't attacked by all monsters
at once and can hope to make a run for it if push comes to shove. Means of Healing - blessed spense
weed for instance - are highly recommended. Not only for Rehetep, but in general.
d) Nonnak
Be at least resistant, if not immune, to cold before you engage Nonnak. If you're equipped with the
ancient mummy wrapping from Rehetep, you should take every opportunity you get to stay away from Non
nak and fire arrows or quarrels at him, he will try in vain to damage you with frost bolts. In melee
, he can occasionally get some mean critical hits in. Against a reasonably powerful Barbarian, howev
er, he won't stand a chance.
e) Griff
He is a formidable opponent in melee. If you can teleport behind him and pour holy water on his grav
e, do it, you'll get the experience anyway. Otherwise, be prepared for a drawn out fight, as he has
high defenses and hitpoints. It doesn't hurt to have blessed spenseweed handy. Use undead slaying am
mo if you want to spare yourself the trouble.
f) Snake from Beyond
A first taste of the horror that is an orb guardian. Against the Snake from Beyond, you'll come to l
ove your level 12 class power. After fighting against all the servants around the temple, try to mak
e it so that you fight against the Snake alone, with no meddling elementals and demons. This can be
achieved by becoming invisible, crossing the water and leaving through the hallway you dug through t
he temple while the snake is on your tails. High speed is your friend. You can either use it to keep
or get a distance between you and the Snake, shooting off your missiles - though it is unlikely tha
t missiles will be very effective unless you have high dexterity or are a hurthling (best if you're
a hurthling with high dexterity, of course!). You can also shoot off some wands, though the Snake wi
ll probably shrug off most of the bolts. If all this doesn't seem to be able to help much, you'll ha
ve to bite the bullet and go into melee. Don't be too low on DV if possible, as the Snake hits hard
and poisons and corrupts you. On the other hand, the Snake has a fair share of PV, so what to do? Th
e best thing may be to switch to berserk anyway and either deal tremendous blows or repeat after eac
h hit in such a way that the Snake cannot attack you, preferably with a poisoned weapon since that w
ill work on the snake a bit while you run away a bit. A wand of paralyzation, should you have one, i
s a tremendous asset. Use it - it can be recharged for the later fights.
g) Skeletal King
Undead slaying ammo. Confusion resistance so he doesn't get you eaten by piranhas before you have a
chance to leave the bridge you built. High fire resistance or immunity so the magical barrages he fi
res don't hurt you. He can be beaten in melee, but he is hard to kill that way and hits pretty hard
himself. Slaying ammo simply spares you a lot of trouble.
h) Ancient Chaos Wyrm
The doom of many promising PCs. Barbarians benefit from their high hitpoint counts against him. If o
nly they could cast Frost or Acid Bolt! The biggest danger while fighting the wyrm is his shock atta
ck. It is best to avoid being shock attacked by him as much as possible. There are two ways to do th
at: Have monsters between you and him so he can't hit you (but that won't help a lot in the long run
, since you want to kill him and don't have spells to do it well from afar), or take away his abilit
y to shock attack you. This can be done by blinding him, by confusing him, by paralyzing him or by k
illing him. The last of these possibilies is the most appealing one, I'm sure, but sadly, it takes s
ome good hits with your best way of dealing damage to achieve it. If you have dragon slaying ammo, i
t is probably superior to your melee weapon; having Vanquisher or Wyrmlance at this point is best, s
o try to get crowned beforehand for Vanquisher. Use tremendous berserk blows, as a melee attack of t
he wyrm isn't as dangerous as the shock attack. To survive while killing the wyrm with your weapon,
blindness, confusion and paralyzation are your friends. The first two can be induced by throwing the
respective potions at the wyrm, the latter is achieved by using a wand of paralyzation. Also very h
elpful are wands of poison or potions of poison to dip your weapon in, and wands of cold or acid to
deal the finishing blow if the wyrm decides to make a run for it. Also, be resistant to confusion, a
s you can hardly afford to stagger around aimlessly while the Wyrm shocks you. The key to fighting t
he Ancient Chaos Wyrm is cleverness. The direct brute force approach probably won't work, but with a
bit of magical or alchemical help, you will be able to do it!
i) Cat Lord
You have killed cats? Well, it's hard to avoid that at any time with a Barbarian (as a spellcaster,
you have almost no excuse). Fighting against the cat lord is a major pain in the ass. The first step
you should take is a tactical retreat: Lure him to either a level above or a level below so you can
teleport away in a pinch. Afterwards, consider the following: The cat lord casts invisibility; seei
ng invisible is essential, equip the ancient mummy wrapping or a ring of see invisible if you don't
have the intrinsic yourself. The cat lord also is very fast and hits very hard, depending on how man
y cats you killed, he can be motherfucking fast and beat the living shit out of you. Luckily, that i
s the full extent of his abilities (though it's bad enough). Humanoid slaying ammo is effective, and
paralyzation from a wand is, again, very useful against him. When he is paralyzed (it will take sev
eral tries), try your best to hit as hard as ever possible (berserk, if the cat lord's PV is high an
d your damage not that high, tremendous - remember that you can theoretically let the game stay wher
e it is and do the math!) - his high DV and hitpoints give him a chance to get moving again and deva
state you. Remember: He who fights the Cat Lord without blessed potions of extra or ultra healing in
his backpack is naught but an addle-brained fool!
j) Yulgash, the Master Summoner
Once you reach Yulgash, he should be easily killed in melee (especially with a humanoid slaying weap
on), or with humanoid slaying ammo. The trouble is reaching him. The Temple itself is full of static
electricity that can damage a PC and his equipment. Don't bring anything too valuable into the Temp
le; scrolls of chaos resistance or the like should be left on another level. As a Barbarian, you sho
uld be powerful enough to clear the right outside of the Temple. To-hit is important, as air creatur
es tend to have no PV but high DV, so berserk mode with non-tremendous blows might be a good idea. O
n the other hand, the vapor rats, grues and demons have high to-hit themselves and will corrupt you
more, so against these, you should use one of the defensive modes (not coward, though). You can clea
r the whole outside of the temple, but I advise against it - there's no reason to spend too much of
your time having equipment destroyed. Once you have cleared the right part of the temple grounds, be
come invisible (preferably, as it protects you from being attacked by elementals and grues you haven
t attacked yourself) and open the Temple itself by searching for a secret door in the middle of the
right wall. Lure the elementals out someway, defeat some of them until you can get into melee range
to Yulgash or have a clear shot with humanoid slaying ammo. Yulgash will follow you out into the hal
lway if you wait long enough, but who knows what he will summon until he's there? Once Yulgash is de
feated, grab the orb and leave, unless you want to lose some more equipment to the charged air and t
he elementals' lightning bolts. If you went into the Temple without notable equipment anyway, that's
of course an option.
k) Ancient Stone Beast
Question: Do you have some way of penetration? Any weapon with the magical suffix "of penetration" o
r phase dagger is your best bet against this opponent. It's almost guaranteed to do more damage than
any other weapon as it will bypass the 60 PV of the Ancient Stone Beast. No penetration? I think th
e Stone Beast is a construct, so unlife slaying (like Vanquisher and Purifier possess) should work w
ell, just remember to use tremendous blows since you'll have to overcome the PV. In this case, they
will always be worth it. The attacks of the Ancient Stone Beast tend to be relatively harmless, and
he doesn't drain stats or anything else remotely remarkable. Just damage, and not too much of it. Ag
ain, the more annoying part of fighting against it is fighting against its servants, the elementals
and grues. Be careful while digging a hallway towards the temple, as they pass through stone and are
capable of surrounding you by blocking your only escape route. Being surrounded by potentially hard
-hitting elementals and grues might be an exciting opportunity to prove your battle prowess, but sur
vival is important, too, right? Well then. Against the elementals and grues, the same tactics apply
that I have already explained for the Ancient Stone Beast, only that they have 40 instead of 60 PV a
nd elementals don't have corrupting attacks, making them infinitely more pleasant to fight than the
grues. If you don't want to fight them all at once, you have to lure some of them to another level s
ince you can't use hallways as choke points like you've done with every tension room until this poin
t. That way, you can at least restrict the number of elementals and grues you have to fight at once,
mostly making it a one-on-two fight. With the right weapon and tactic, it will be tedious, but doab
le work.
l) Nuurag-Vaarn, the Chaos Archmage
God, I hate that guy. Okay, before you even step one foot into the Temple, ask yourself: Are you res
istant to death rays? If not, see that you are. Now, are you resistant to confusion? No? Well, don't
blame me if you find yourself spending your precious time stumbling about in the corridor while you
re being shot at with shock attack after shock attack. Do you have a torch or an amulet of light? Go
od. Do you have humanoid slaying ammo? No? Be prepared for berserk tremendous blow, having to drink
a couple of potions of extra and ultra healing, and stat drains. Awful lots of stat drains. A fuckin
g awful lot of godforsaken stat drains from hell. Even humanoid slaying ammo won't prevent having to
resort to melee fighting reliably. This battle, to make it short, is a pain in the ass in any way.
The only ones that ever seem to have an easy time are archers with their awesome missile abilities a
nd humanoid slaying ammo. Or cheap spellcasters who use high-Willpower Acid Ball while having a GOD
DAMN DOOR prevent Nuurag-Vaarn from attacking them. Sigh. A Barbarian's life is never easy. Well the
n, if you fulfill the requirements mentioned, you have a good chance. But first, you'll stand before
the doorway and fight against hordes after hordes of summoned chaos creatures. If ever possible, tr
y to berserk the annihilators away with tremendous blows - they're worth taking out quickly to preve
nt your equipment from being destroyed. Sometimes, you can walk into the choke point to reach one of
the chaos wizards and take him out. You'll be hit by three monsters instead of one, but chaos wizar
ds must be taken out if you want to get out of that darn place in a reasonable timeframe.
Sooner or later, Nuurag-Vaarn won't be able to resist the temptation anymore and come for you. Once
it's between you and him, get some distance (easier said than done, because confusion resistance doe
sn't seem to work in any way remotely reliable) and shoot off your humanoid slaying ammo. If that di
dn't do the trick, prepare yourself for some nasty stat drains and melee him, tremendous berserk all
the way to take him out as quickly as possible. Since he won't always use his melee attack, the DV
loss isn't that bad compared to the faster taking him out. Switch to coward if you need to drink a b
lessed extra or ultra healing potion (You do have some with you, right?). Don't overestimate yoursel
f - drink that potion if your HP drop below a value you deem unsafe, even if you still have more tha
n 150 HP left. You'll see for yourself how hard his spells will hit. But don't forget to attack, and
do it with a vengeance. With any luck and a decent weapon, he should be killed before he can drain
too many stats. Even if your stats got drained a fair bit, laugh with glee as you stand above his ma
ngled remains - this was one of the hardest fights you'll ever have to endure.

Guide to being an Archer
NOTE: The Archer Guide has been revised. You'll notice a couple of sections have been added, others
expanded. Especially the Weapon choice section has been renamed Weapons and should actually be calle
d Equipment now. Will do it right the next time (Barbarian guide is already in progress!)
Let us begin with one of the easier classes to play, which is, coincidentally, the first in the alph
abetical list of all classes: the Archer.
I. Manual Information - The most basic stuff, reprinted in place of an introduction.

II. Starting up the archer - All there is to consider when deciding which kind of archer to play.
III. Playing style - What you should try to do with your archer over the course of the game.
IV. Weapons - What kind of weapons you should and shouldn't use, and why. Also, a couple of hints re
garding ammunition gatherage.
V. Archer vs. Boss - Hints on how to beat your most dangerous opponents throughout the game.
I. Manual information
Archers are deadly shots. Although the name of their class seems to imply this, not all of them pref
er to use bows. The race of an archer has great influence on their preferred missile weapon. Archers
are expert fighters in missile combat, rarely missing their targets and trained to hit the vital sp
ots of their opponents. In close combat, archers are less formidable, although they are still danger
ous.
Archers are trained in the following skills: Alertness, Archery, Climbing, Concentration, Dodge, Fle
tchery, Listening, and Stealth.
At higher levels archers are the most deadly marksmen in all Ancardia. At level 6 a missile attack t
akes up but 800 energy points. At level 12 the range for their missile attacks is doubled. At level
18 they are a lot more productive when applying fletchery. At level 25 missile attacks cost but 600
energy points. At level 32 they become able to completely dodge enemy missiles. At level 40 missiles
attacks have a 20% chance to penetrate armor and at level 50 they are able to hit several targets w
ith one missile.
II. Starting up the archer
1. Starsigns
Concerning starsigns, the guidebook gives a couple of good hints. Archers benefit greatly from the R
aven starsign since they can hit and run a lot easier with it; it also has the nice effect that you
become resistant to doppleganger confusion ("harder to trick by deceptions"). Candle is always nice
for classes without Healing (it allows for regenerating at a decent speed); you can afford going Her
balism much easier with the Candle starsign. The other starsigns don't offer much to the archer. Swo
rd and Dragon are somewhat useful for faster weapon skill gainage (though Sword only increases melee
weapons skills, so Dragon is probably more useful). Unicorn, as always, is nice for ultimate aspire
rs. Falcon adds a not really useful skill (works nice for buffing up the skill page of high elven ar
chers, though). Book is useful for elven or gnomish archers because it improves upon their latent sp
ellcasting abilities later on. The other casting starsigns aren't that spectacular, though all of th
em do offer some minor advantage.
Worthy of attention is the "a falling star killed the village elder" part of your history. It decrea
ses the number of marks you need to advance in your missile weapon skills.
2. General starting equipment

All archers start out with a missile weapon and ammo OR a stack of throwing weapons. All (except tro
lls) wear [0,0] equipment that can occasionally add to starting PV, all have a very basic type of me
lee weapon on them, all start with a fletchery set and an iron ration, replaced by a spider bread fo
r dark elves, and some with a torch and fire-making equipment.
3. Race-specific starting equipment and race evaluation
a) Human:
Skills added: Swimming, Food Preservation
Notable starting equipment: Leather armor, Longbow, about 50 arrows
Pros: Good missile weapon with lots of starting ammo

Cons: PV of 2 on starting equipment leaves archer somewhat frail, only mediocre dexterity, rather sh
ort lifespan
Verdict: Okay choice, but definitely outclassed by other races.
b) Troll:
Skills added: Athletics, Bridge Building, Food Preservation, Gemology, Mining
Notable starting equipment: Thick furs, heavy club, 5-10 throwing clubs
Pros: Quite sturdy thanks to high regeneration rate, toughness and strength, Athletics skill is pret
ty powerful, Gemology and Mining at least useful
Cons: Horrible archer weapons at start, only mediocre dexterity, troll experience and troll metaboli
sm, very short lifespan
Verdict: Pretty bad choice, suffers from all the disadvantages of trolls while not making much use o
f their advantages, does not start out with ranged weapons worth using.
c) High Elf:
Skills added: Literacy.
Notable starting equipment: Elven chain mail, Longbow, about 50 arrows
Pros: Excellent starting equipment (elven chain mail more than makes up for low toughness), very hig
h dexterity, long lifespan
Cons: Almost no skillset additions
Verdict: IMHO the best choice; with 20/5 DV/PV right off the bat and plenty of ammo you're all set u
p for a relatively easy early game; excellent missile damage thanks to high dexterity and longbow.
d) Gray Elf:
For the most part, see High Elf
Verdict: Very good, not as good as high elves due to slightly lower regeneration rate, strength, tou
ghness and dexterity. They do have an even longer lifespan - but high elves are already so good it's
hardly relevant.
e) Dark Elf:
Skills added: Find Weakness.
Notable starting equipment: Elven chain mail, Hand Crossbow, up to 20 tiny quarrels
Pros: Elven chain mail, very high dexterity, Find Weakness skill, long lifespan
Cons: Not a lot ammo to work with at the beginning, bad starting missile weapon, slowest regeneratio
n rate of all races
Verdict: Very good, but have to find a bow or crossbow with respective ammo quick; if they manage th
at, they're better than high elves due to Find Weakness skill. Still, early game is somwhat harder.
f) Dwarf:
Skills added: Detect Traps, Metallurgy, Mining, Smithing
Notable starting equipment: Chain mail, Heavy boots, Heavy crossbow, 40-50 quarrels
Pros: Detect Traps, very decent starting equipment, sturdy due to high toughness and PV, other skill
s are useful too, long lifespan
Cons: Rather low dexterity
Verdict: Decent; can survive the early game comfortably with PV of 6 or better, high toughness and l
ots of ammo; are somewhat held back by low dexterity, though.
g) Gnome:
Skills added: Gemology, Mining, Pick pockets, Ventriloquism
Notable starting equipment: Leather armor, Gnomish boots, Light crossbow, about 30 quarrels
Pros: A couple of pretty useful skills, easier training in crossbows, long lifespan
Cons: Low PV on starting equipment, overall only average equipment
Verdict: Okay choice; the crossbow bonus is nice, but isn't enough to completely offset the disadvan
tages.
h) Hurthling:
Skills added: Cooking, Food Preservation, Gardening
Notable starting equipment: cursed ring, sling, about 20 rocks, cooking set
Pros: Very high dexterity, level 4 thrown rocks skill, easier training in slings and thrown rocks
Cons: Zero PV on starting equipment, skills are convenient, but useless in battle
Verdict: Pretty good, not as spectular as the guidebook would have you believe, though; the low PV m
akes early game a bit difficult if you don't manage to kill anything with your wicked rocks; slings
and thrown rocks aren't the best weapons for an archer overall, making the high bonus to weapon skil
l marks less valuable as it may seem.
i) Orc:
Skills added: Backstabbing, Find Weakness, Metallurgy, Mining
Notable starting equipment: Studded leather armor, Light crossbow, about 15 quarrels
Pros: Nice skillset addition, especially Find Weakness, quite sturdy thanks to decent toughness and
strength
Cons: Not much starting ammo, low dexterity, short lifespan
Verdict: A bit better than okay choice; Find Weakness is very nice to have, yet low starting ammo an
d low dexterity are turnoffs
j) Drakeling:
Skills added: Food Preservation, Music, Swimming
Notable starting equipment: About twenty drakish scurgari
Pros: Unique racial ability, relatively high regeneration rate

Cons: No armor, low dexterity, scurgari are rather rare to find, rather short lifespan
Verdict: Probably the worst class for an archer; Alertness, a major selling point of drakelings, is
already included in the archer skillset; except for a pretty uselessly low Music skill, humans get t
he same skillset additions plus halfway decent starting equipment; like dark elves and trolls, drake
lings have to look for other ranged weapons right off the bat while not being able to withstand prol
onged melee (even with their natural regeneration rate, which is higher than that of other non-troll
races); the breathing attack is pretty pointless since as an archer you should have better distance
attacks available and in the beginning, when you need it most, you can't use it that heavily due to
food problems.
k) Conclusion:
All in all, high elves and dark elves are contenders for the best archer race, though I prefer high
elves. Gray elves are High elves light. After these Hurthlings and dwarves are the next best races,
followed by orcs, then humans and gnomes, after that trolls and on the last place drakelings.
l) Making it a little more complicated.

Now, the above was based on the assumption that you want the character with the highest chances of w
inning overall. I firmly believe elven archers do just that. They give you very good equipment and t
heir skills are supported by very high dexterity, making them archery powerhouses right from the sta
rt, killing machines capable of taking down even the out-of-depth monsters the RNG has so much fun p
lacing you between even at very early levels. And yet, it cannot be denied that they also have the s
mallest skillsets of all the archers. A high elven archer and a human archer have a couple of differ
ences at the beginning - elven chain mail versus leather armor, dexterity of 25 versus 15, 50% highe
r Dodge skill value... And no skill versus Food Preservation and Swimming skills. And I say "no skil
l" because the Literacy skill high elves get both humans and high elves would get anyway due to thei
r high Learning scores. Now, give the human better armor, a couple dozens of (uncursed) mosses of ma
reilon, and a bit of time to increase the Dodge skill. Then, give the high elf the Swimming skill, b
ecause it costs nothing more than a couple potions of carrot juice to get if you know how. And what
do you get? A human with the Food Preservation skill and a high elf without it. Now, you may not dee
m the Food Preservation skill very valuable. Remember, however, that it increases your chances to ge
t corpses from monsters. Corpses, besides from being free food, can occasionally increase stats. And
the occasions become much more numerous if you have the Food Preservation skill. Personally, I don'
t consider it too much of a loss... But look at, say, orcs. Compare them to a high elven archer. Bes
ides being smelly and clumsy, they have Find Weakness, Backstabbing, Mining and Metallurgy. Now, Met
allurgy is useless, and Backstabbing can be obtained within the game. That still means orcs get Find
Weakness and Mining and high elves don't. The orc even has the advantage of getting Mining over the
dark elf. In other words: If versatility, the number and quality of skills, would decide who is the
best archer, high elves would actually make last instead of tied first place. Second last place is
for hurthlings because, let's be frank, their skills suck except for Food Preservation. Then humans,
then drakelings, then dwarves (for Detect Traps alone), dark elves (because Find Weakness is just t
hat awesome), gnomes (because their skills are really useful at times), trolls (Because Athletics is
teh awesome and Food Preservation and Gemology are pretty nice), and orcs taking the king spot just
because they get Find Weakness PLUS Mining.
Actually, you can scratch that whole thing I just did, because the skillset (and thus the race) you
should choose depends on your own playing style and personal preferance. If you like the Food Preser
vation skill, Humans, hurthlings, trolls and drakelings are the thing for you. If you like Find Weak
ness (and I see no reason why you couldn't), you'll want to play an orc or dark elf. If you love Det
ect Traps, a dwarf is the obvious choice. And the gnome is nice for Ventriloquism... The list goes o
n and on. Check the section for skills later on for a closer evaluation.
III. Playing style
1. Archers in general
Archers, as has been aptly described in the manual, are best when using their ranged weapons. They c
an attack faster and deal more damage that way than any other class can. Apart from that, they're no
t the worst melee fighters, and they can make effective use of minor spellcasting because of their C
oncentration skill, though they have to build up on their Literacy first. You can use a melee weapon
to fight most of the opponents you meet, but once you face a really dangerous opponent, it's your r
anged weapon you have to fall back on. It's important not to neglect your ranged weapon skills - eve
n though you can beat most opponents with melee weapons to save ammo, with a lower skill you deal le
ss damage when you really need every point you can get.
Generally, when exploring more dangerous dungeons, it is important to gauge your position carefully,
to know which opponents you should keep a distance from. Keeping a distance, anyway, is the most im
porant skill you should learn when playing archers. Every meter between you and your dangerous oppon
ent is a resource to be valued. Speed is important. Every skill, talent or class power that decrease
s energy point consumption for actions like attacking and moving is important. If your opponent ever
reaches you and you can't get away, though, keep on using your ranged weapon - because, in the end,
it will still deal the most damage.
2. Dopplegangers
Archers in general have a rather easy time playing (If there is such a thing as an easy time in ADOM
). Dopplegangers are a nuisance, though. Normal ones fall in melee (careful with hurthlings, they ha
ve no armor at the beginning and low strength; drakelings can at least use the breathing attack), by
the time doppleganger lords appear they fall in melee as well or to a wand, but doppleganger kings
are pretty damn dangerous (fortunately, by the time you meet them they should be easily avoided or d
ispatched with spells).
3. Skills to obtain
A disadvantage of playing archers is the lack of either the Healing or Herbalism skill. Healing is,
in my opinion, the better choice, so you should take the Village Dungeon quest by talking to Rynt be
fore Guth'Alak. If you feel like heavily exploiting Herbalism, though, you could also pick the Keeth
rax quest by talking to Guth'Alak first and gather lots of spenseweed to replace Healing. Just know
that once you get the Keethrax quest, you can't get Healing except through lucking out with a potion
or scroll of education. Note that while Keethrax has the black torc, a pretty useless artifact, Yrr
igs has a hatchet - number one on your tool wishlist if you're an archer. Also, herbs aren't actuall
y plenty - if you're unlucky, you won't find any until you reach the Big Room inside the Caverns of
Chaos (You'll know it when you see it)!
There are plenty of skills than can be learnt by talking to right people in the Drakalor chain. The
old barbarian teaches you the Courage skill under several conditions: First, to get the quest, you h
ave to slay 500 monsters of any kind. The quest demands that you kill twenty (He doesn't say twenty,
but you came to this guide to get accurate information, right?) more of the monster you first slew.
It's good to know what monster that was. I have a knack for forgetting that; and I'm pretty sure I
should get rid of that if I ever want to complete an ultimate ending. I usually get the quest when I
head east towards the CoC and stop by his clearing, and I usually have slain the monsters he demand
ed when I return to tackle the graveyard. Courage increases your to-hit and DV when attacked by more
than one opponent. To be exact, it lowers the penalties that usually take effect if you are surroun
ded. Usually you shouldn't let that happen at all, but sometimes it's near impossible to avoid - and
in these cases, Courage is VERY nice to have.
Another important source of skills is Bart, the grizzled gladiator who hangs around in the Dwarftown
inn. If you become champion of the arena and obtain the golden gladius as a reward and talk to Bart
, he will reminisce about his sad past and afterwards ask if he can get the gladius in exchange for
training. Bart's training consists of some minor weapon skill training in all the melee weapon skill
s - pretty pointless for an archer - and, most importantly, of teaching the skills Backstabbing, Tac
tics and Two weapon combat. Except for orcish archers, all three of these skills are new. Especially
the Tactics skill is well worth giving up the gladius, a pretty decent sword for the early game. Th
e other two only come into play in rare occasions - though the latter is pretty much a prerequisite
to fighting with two weapons in any way effective. Tactics increases the positive effects and lowers
the negative effect of the different stances on the tactics scale. With Tactics, your berserking be
comes a lot more powerful, your cowardice a lot more cowardly, and everything else also gets better.
Tactics is useless if you stay in Normal mode, however - but skilled players don't stay in normal m
ode when they battle; usually, anyway.
There are, of course, more skills available, some from pretty surprising sources. First, Yergius tea
ches all the thieves skills to you. Pick Pockets is trivial to get, but the others can only be obtai
ned by becoming a member of the thieves guild. To become a member, you have to use the Pick Pockets
skill about twenty-five times successfully. I think being nonlawful is also a prerequisite. Once you
re in, you can have Yergius teach you all the other Thieves skills: Detect traps, Disarm traps and P
ick locks. (And Stealth - but you have that already.) Disarm traps is of limited use, because you ca
n avoid traps you have detected pretty easily with decent Dexterity and Perception, and Pick locks i
s even worse, since doors that late in the game are usually opened with keys, and even with Pick loc
ks, you still need thieves tools to open doors. I needn't mention that they drop next to never rando
mly, and you have to be level 13 to enter the pyramid to get the only guaranteed in the game. At tha
t point, you should have wands of knocking anyway or simply kick down the doors you don't have keys
for. The Detect traps skill, however, is very useful, and covered in a later section. Dwarves alread
y have it and can easily afford not becoming a member of the thieves guild.
There's not much left. Blup, the baby water dragon, loves carrot juice. If you give enough of it to
him (blessed works better), he will teach you how to swim. For those that can't already swim (all bu
t humans and drakelings) this is a godsend. You can also get the Law skill from Tywat Pare if you ki
ll both Kranach and Hotzenplotz for him, but that skill is pretty useless. Usually common sense tell
s you what is a chaotic act and what is not, and the Law skill only kicks in after you've already do
ne what you did.
More obscurely, if you find dark sage corpses lying around while illiterate, bless one to guarantee
that it works and gulp it down. Bang, Literacy skill without potion of Literacy. Veeery nice, especi
ally when you got a near-impossible first Thrundarr quest.
And finally, having been born unter the sign of Falcon grants you the Survival skill - of low import
ance, but can save your life when you run out of food in the wilderness.
4. Archer battle tactics

A technique an archer should remember and use often is berserking archery. It's simple, really - as
long as your opponents are still away, they can't hit you. So you ignore the DV loss of berserk tact
ics and get a good deal of extra to-hit and damage that should help dispatching enemies before they
can touch you. Not the tactic to use when you encounter a titan or another monster with a powerful m
issile attack, though. Know thine Enemy! (And know the use of the Tactics settings! It's a bit much
for most newbies, but it really helps to remember that you can switch to coward when you need to dri
nk a potion in the middle of a mob attacking you...)
Another very useful technique is hit and run. The archer class powers together with certain talents
and weapon skills decrease the time you need for a missile attack tremendously. This means that you
can attack an opponent next to you and still move; with the help of Long Stride, the Speed talents o
r even the low HP coward movement bonus, you can then fall back until there is a square between you
yet again. Shoot, repeat until opponent is dead. If you do it right, you can minimize the times you
are hit even to zero (provided you have the space and aren't stopped by other monsters!). In this ca
se, combine the two tactics to form this basic principle of Archery in ADOM:
If they can't hit you, go berserk!
5. About class powers

The king and queen of the archer class powers come at level 6 and 25: The reduction of the energy po
ints needed for a missile attack, which basically shortens the timespan your archer has to wait unti
l he can do something again after using a missile attack. Add Lightning Shot. Add weapon skill energ
y point boni. You will end up with an energy cost so low you can basically shoot several times befor
e an opposing monster can even land a hit on you; especially if your speed is high. This is an enorm
ous advantage and the reason why archers are so much better at using missile weapons than any other
class.
If the level 6 and 25 archer class powers are the king and queen, the level 18 power would be the cr
own prince. Archers are not only masters at missile attacks, they are the most proficient users of t
he Fletchery skill. Their class power enables them to create near infinite stocks of arrows and quar
rels. Ammo created by the Fletchery skill, like randomly dropped ammo, has the chance of being assig
ned magical prefixes and suffixes. Since you get stacks of over 100 arrows or quarrels with a single
use of a fletchery set with the help of the class power, there is a chance of getting 100, say, pen
etrating arrows of slaying any time you use the talent. Even without that much luck, you still get e
nough ammo to allow you to use arrows or quarrels exclusively, which works wonders in training your
missile weapon skills, eventually reaching Grand Mastery! You should collect any fletchery set you c
an find and keep all of them until you hit level 18. Then, start chopping logs and go fletching! Do
not use wooden sticks. They are loser fletching material and do not deserve your attention. I will m
ention again that a hatchet is very high on your list of desirable tools to find, since your only so
urce of logs without it is the Animated Forest. They are rare, but Yrrigs always has one and will gi
ve it to you either willingly or unwillingly. Get it!
I kind of glossed over the level 12 class power that doubles your missile attack ranges completely,
sorry if you're confused. Simply put, that one simply isn't necessary. Your ranges are fine without
the class power thanks to the Archery skill and missile weapon skills; they will end up being greate
r than the map is wide! (Though you'll be grateful for this class power if you want to throw huge ro
cks or stuff like that...)
The level 32 class power... I will point out that there aren't really that many enemies of note for
a level 32 character that actually shoot missiles. Basically, I can only think of earth elementals,
titans and greater titans. Against these? Well, the class power can save your ass. Considering you s
hould have plenty of giant slaying ammo at this point, though, it's not as spectacular. After level
25, all archers pretty much become death incarnate anyway (if played right).
The level 40 class power is rather useful against late game high-PV monsters (Ancient Stone Beast! G
rrr...), which are otherwise a nuisance or even dangerous (eternium golems, anyone?). You should hav
e penetrating ammo handy at level 40, but in case you haven't, you'll love this class power. Even if
only one out of five shots ignores PV, this still means a considerable kick in the butt that could
ease your trouble winning against eternium golems. And against any other opponent, a 20% chance to i
gnore their physical armor translates to a 20% chance to cause a bit to quite a lot more damage, whi
ch is nothing to scoff at.
Compared to other level 50 class powers, the archer one is rather weak - on the other hand, your fir
st three class powers are teh awesome already. Being able to shoot more than one monster at once is
convenient for dealing with crowds, but nothing more. Now, if you have an artifact missile - True Ai
m or Thunderstroke - then you could smite a lot of monsters with one of these, I'll admit...
6. Talent choice
Regarding talents, all the archery talents (except the rather useless Far Shot and the maybe not qui
te as, but still useless Strong Thrower) are pretty much musts. This includes the following: Alert (
starting talent), Good Shot, Keen Shot, Eagle-Eyed, Quick, Quick Shot, Lightning Shot, three affinit
es (if you take my advice, these are Bows, Crossbows, and whatever strikes your fancy), Missile Weap
on Master (For which I have chosen Alert, Keen Shot and the three affinities beforehand).
I listed eleven talents. On your way to Level 50, if you get one starting talent, you get 17 talents
total, so you're left with six. I would add the other two Speed talents Very Quick and Greased Ligh
tning. Since you've already chosen Alert as a starting talent, I'd add Miser and Treasure Hunter, be
cause the latter is awesome (Some say that you can just kill more monsters to get the treasure, but
why should I do that when I can actually advance in the game instead?). Two talents left? It's up to
you. Porter and Master Packager are useful for carrying around your missile arsenal, Long Stride ca
n help in a ton of situations especially early in the game. Strong Thrower is probably not bad if yo
u plan on using throwing weapons extensively (though why you would do that is beyond me). Also tempt
ing are the DV-increasing talents (Careful, Shield Fighter and so on). With extra starting talents,
you can even get Beast of Burden. To get the bookcasting talents, however, you have to sacrifice som
e of the talents above (Missile Weapon Master and the affinities, preferably). Depends on your opini
on about bookcasting; my archers usually use spells rarely if ever, and when you're not in the middl
e of a battle you don't care all that much whether you spend 3000 energy points on a bookcasted Invi
sibility or 1000. And for the middles of battles, there's still wands and scrolls. Your main damage
dealing comes from arrows and quarrels, not spells. Narcolepcy (thanks again) has pointed me towards
Natural Berserker, a talent requiring Aggressive as a prerequisite, which increases to-hit and dama
ge by two each while fighting in berserk mode. However, when you're already in berserk mode, those t
wo extra points aren't as spectacular as they would seem: You've already got enormous to-hit and dam
age when you berserk. Personally, I think you'd be better off if you spent the two talents required
for Natural Berserker elsewhere. Nonetheless, it's worth mentioning. For details regarding talents I
didn't cover, you're better off checking them out in the guidebook. Now a last one.
If you get three starting talents, you can choose Charming, Boon to the Family, and finally Heir. Th
e archer heir gift is a bundle of 40 winged quarrels of hunting. These are normal quarrels except th
at they fly twice as far and increase the chance that the monster hit drops a course. If you ask me,
this is most definitely not worth giving up Missile Weapon Master and Treasure Hunter, for which yo
u'd need a starting talent spent on Alert as prerequisite. I would only consider getting Heir if you
somehow got four starting talents (And even then, I'd rather enjoy the luxury of being able to take
Long Stride AND all the carrying capacity talents, or DV talents, or Long-lived...). Theoretically,
four starting talents are possible with a Candle-born gnomish archer with high mana, or a Candle-bo
rn elf with decent mana/Candle-born hurthling with low mana that also gets lucky (There is a one out
of seven chance to obtain an extra talent for any character; you get it if, after character creatio
n, your stats are dividable by seven.). The maximum is five (Candle- or Falcon-born gnomish archer w
ith high mana who also gets lucky).
7. Mad Archer skillz

As an archer, you don't have that many skills, but the ones you have aren't bad. Since you don't hav
e many skills, you won't have much trouble deciding which to increase and which not. Sometimes you'l
l even find yourself with more skill advances than you can even use wisely (Especially with elves du
e to their small skillset and high Learning). Enjoy that Luxury - or better, obtain more skills to i
ncrease.
a) Alertness
Alertness is a skill that you may not actively notice often, but everytime your character manages to
avoid a trap he or she didn't even see... your alertness is what probably spared you a lot of troub
le. Later on in the game traps become more of a nuisance than a threat (though it still sucks if an
acid trap destroys valuable equipment), but the other feature of alertness will become more importan
t - the chance to evade spells and certain creature attacks like water breathing or the like. This c
an really save your ass against powerful opponents like dragons, wyrms, Nuurag-Vaarn... The list goe
s on and on. So, be thankful for the alertness skill, and be nice to it. Sadly, it is rather hard to
increase, so you should turn your attention to other skills once it has approached around the fifti
es, only occasionally increasing it as the levels drop by. (On very high levels, you even get extra
DV points out of this skill, though.)
b) Archery
There is not much to be said about this skill. It increases range, damage and to-hit of ranged attac
ks (awesome). Aside from that, possessing it gives you a chance to hit opponents even in the "red" r
ange (not that awesome, because you usually don't have problems with missile range as an archer). Th
is is a top-priority skill, and on top of that, easy to increase. You will (and should) have this at
100 very soon.
c) Climbing
This skill isn't really that useful. Climbing out of pits isn't a main part of your adventuring care
er, to say the least. Climbing around mountains with a higher skill in this may be easier, but then
again there is little need to play around in the mountains. Climbing must, however, be maxed if you
plan on going down the Rift. As an archer, the Rift - and the Library contained therein - is hardly
a necessary visit. If you feel reckless, however, don't let me stop you, and spend a few skill advan
ces and especially training on this skill so you don't have to wait forever for it to reach 100. But
at least have Stealth at 100 by that time as well...
d) Concentration
Next up is Concentration. While not as useful at archery in this regard, it does improve on your to-
hit and maybe even damage, apart from the better-known - and more noticable - effect of increasing y
our power point regeneration rate. Later on, when you start casting spells (you will if you are an e
lf or gnome, you probably won't as much if you're a troll), having this skill is a great help. Early
on you have neither spellbooks nor decent Literacy (*if* you even have it - as an orc or troll, you
probably won't); so Concentration is of low priority.
e) Dodge
Now, Dodge. It adds to your DV, the higher the skill the more DV you get out of it. DV, in case you
spent your earlier ADOM career living under a rock, increases your chances not to be hit by enemy at
tacks. Do you want to be hit by enemy attacks? Surely not. So do you want high DV? Of course you do.
What do you do to get yourself high DV? Why, yes, increase the Dodge skill. The help from the Dodge
skill is most valuable early on, so don't hesitate to make use of your skill increases on it on eve
ry one of your early levels.
f) First Aid
Hm, First Aid. It's not an archer skill per se, but now that you have it you want to know what to do
with it, right? First Aid can be 'a'pplied to heal part of recently sustained wounds. Very recently
. We're talking about four rounds, tops. Now, whatever caused that wound is very likely to still be
around by that time, and rather than applying this skill (especially with its chance of failure) you
should be attacking that opponent! If the battle is over, though, it won't hurt to use this skill i
n case you can still save some of your precious hitpoints. The problem with this skill is that it is
much more useful in higher skill levels, but at the same time the First Aid skill in general is onl
y a great helper in the early game - in the later game, you can use spenseweed, drink potions, or wa
it for a few rounds until your wounds are healed by your godly regeneration rate granted upon you by
the Healing skill. First Aid also helps against poisoning and sickness (again, this is most useful
early on). Everytime you're damaged by those conditions - either by "poison coursing through your ve
ins" or being "wracked by feverish fits", you can use First Aid, regaining some or all hit points, s
ometimes even healing the poisoning or sickness. It's a slim chance, but it can save your butt. My a
dvice is either to put your points into this skill as early as possible or leave it as it is.
g) Fletchery
I already explained a bit about it. Now, your class power kicks in at level 18. By that time you wan
t it at 100, no discussion about it. How you increase it before, however, is up to you. If you think
you won't be using Fletchery before level 18, wait for a bit and increase other skills more instead
. If you do want to use Fletchery earlier, you should arrange for it to be at 100 by then. Fletchery
isn't hard to train for archers. Together with Archery, it is one of your earliest 100s. The point
is, if you won't be using it for quite a time, you should divert your skill advances to maxing Dodge
, Alertness or Archery or other skills you fancy more important.
h) Haggling
What a loser skill. You can always try haggling with shopkeepers over price. But waste precious skil
l advances just so you can save a couple o' coins? Hell no.
i) Listening
Another skill you don't even notice is there, probably because everyone has it. Do not waste skill a
dvances on this. I won't elaborate on the uses it may have, but simply point out that this skill inc
reases itself wonderfully without your support. It starts out at forties, sixties even if you're an
elf, and as you don't need it at certain values for anything, why waste the effort?
j) Stealth
Last skill on the standard archer list. Now, I'm not clear on its use. Even with a 100 stealth skill
, you can't sneak around like you're invisible or something, though it might just give you the occas
ional opportunity of positioning yourself better before a prolonged battle, or extra chances to avoi
d overpowering encounters - though how tangible that effect is, I can't say. Like Listening, Stealth
tends to itself. Unlike listening, increasing it to 100 is a requirement if you want to get a certa
in artifact, as is having 100 in climbing. Don't use your early skill advances, but if you find your
self without a decent skill to train later on, why not add it to Stealth (and Climbing) to get yours
elf a nice treat?
8. Mad Non-Archer skillz.

Now that I have talked at length about standard archer skills, I will now elaborate on the other ski
lls that can be obtained by playing certain races, to help you in your choice.
a) Athletics
You only get it as a troll, and, boy, is it a useful skill. It adds to your speed. This alone would
make it as valuable as Dodge. Yet it gets better: The Athletics skill increases your chances to get
stat increases! Strength, toughness and dexterity (and less spectacularly, appearance) are affected
by Athletics. You want this skill at 100 for the speed bonus anyway, but you want it there ASAP to m
ake the most of the occasional stat increases, as they will occur with levelups. This also means tha
t trollish archers, who almost never get more than three skill advances, will have trouble deciding
on their favoured skills for advancing: Athletics, Dodge, Archery, or Alertness? The situation is ea
sed by starsigns that add skill advances, like Falcon or Candle. In any case, a wonderful skill to h
ave, and unobtainable in-game except with a wish or a scroll or potion of education, so if you absol
utely want to have this skill and can handle the negative sides of playing trolls, go ahead with my
blessing!
b) Backstabbing
Next up is Backstabbing, a specialty of orcs. This skill adds damage if you manage to catch an oppon
ent off-guard - either if he didn't see you (either because you're so stealthy or because it is dark
) or didn't think you would backstab him (i. e. he was neutral to you). The skill doesn't always wor
k, though; its chance to hit also is dependant on the skill level. The major catch of Backstabbing i
s that it is only usable with melee weapons. You're an archer. Your strategy is not to sneak up behi
nd enemies to plunge sharp metal into their backs. Your strategy is to stay as far away as possible,
aim, hit and kill. Backstabbing doesn't enter into this. So, actually, this skill is mainly useless
, with few exceptions. Sometimes you need to use a phase dagger or a slaying melee weapon to deal wi
th something dangerous, and in that case, well, you need every point of extra damage on the first hi
t you can get. Backstabbing is lovely for fighting water dragons in the dark, for instance. However,
these uses of Backstabbing appear rather late in the game - and this late in the game, Backstabbing
is available to any class through Bart's training, so don't choose an orc just to get this skill (t
hough orcs are a wonderful choice because of another skill). Regarding skill increases, Backstabbing
isn't particularly hard to train, but you shouldn't make it a high priority. Still, high advance di
ce are rarely a waste to use, right?
c) Bridge Building
Sigh. Okay, you already have the hatchet because you're a smart archer. You've spend hours of game t
ime and plenty of food to chop a log. Now you don't use it for fletchery, but instead put it in the
side pocket of your backpack (Isn't it hilarious that ADOM has weight, but not space restrictions?).
Then chop a couple more logs. Now, climb down your favorite dungeon and find a river. You try to bu
ild a bridge segment. You fail, wood gone. Try again. Fail, wood gone. Try again, it worked! Now on
to the next segment. But wait, you're out of logs? Chopping time again! Repeat to slowly increase yo
ur Bridge Building skill to a level with which you don't actually need to carry around ten times as
many logs as you want to build bridge segments. Oh, screw this shit. Swimming is so much easier. Mak
ing ice bridges is so much easier. Teleporting is so much easier. There is one level in the game whe
re you need either Bridge Building or several frost bolt spells, granted - but which one of these is
the greater hassle? Wands of cold are so much easier to find than the time and patience to collect
enough logs and Bridge Building skill points to build that particular bridge. This skill is pretty t
errible. Don't, for the love of God, play trolls just to get it (the argument for playing trolls is
Athletics, not Bridge Building). If you choose the carpenter quest, you get it anyway as a side rewa
rd for doing the quest (though I can only pity you if you ever need to use it).
d) Cooking
Now that's something every adventurer needs! Nothing like opening a good hurthling gourmet restauran
t in the deepest depths of the darkest most dreadful and dangerous dungeon. Sarcasm aside, this skil
l isn't that bad. In case you haven't noticed, this skill enables you to cook stuff. Cooking stuff i
mproves the nutritious value of corpses and raw meat or fish meat, lowers their weight slightly, and
keeps them from rotting, at least for a certain time. This has several uses. For one, you can keep
stat-increasing corpses around for a longer time in case you are too bloated to eat them all at once
(although there are other ways to get those corpses all down your throat... There is a certain herb
perfect for the bulimics among you). Also, there are some who like it if you bring corpses to them.
Specifically, a certain druid rewards you for bringing him corpses of very powerful chaotic beings.
If they're cooked, you've actually got a decent chance to get the corpses all the way to him. Still
, all in all, it's a skill of low usefulness. But why not use it when you have it? Aside from being
a hurthling, you can't obtain this skill for your archer except with a wish or a scroll or potion of
education. If you do get it, you'll notice your hurthling starts out with a decent value already. I
ncreasing it is probably kind of a waste of good skill advance points, but if you want to minimize t
he risk of ruining a chaos corpse you want to deliver later, go ahead.
e) Detect Traps
This dwarven skill is really good, as it is the only way to find traps without actually walking into
them or using a wand of trap detection. It is not a passive skill, though. Detect Traps is applied
every time you 's'earch your surroundings. Of course, you don't walk around always searching your su
rroundings - unless you wear a ring of searching, something to consider if you have this skill - so
you won't be able to find just every trap. If you have this skill, however, you should make it a hab
it to use it on every door. Doors have a much higher chance of being trapped compared to the dungeon
floor, and sometimes even trying to open a door to see if it is locked may spring a trap. A higher
skill level works better, but even a Detect Traps skill of 1 gives you the ability to find any trap
- it's just that you have to spend a long time searching. If you want to use this skill with a ring
of searching, you should have a high skill value because you don't make more than one searching chec
k per turn with the ring. Since the skill is obtainable in-game theoretically (Yergius provides trai
ning in certain skills to members of his thieves guild), playing a dwarf for this skill is not as go
od an idea as it seems to be. However, it's the early game where you should be especially afraid of
stepping into traps - they can potentially kill low-level characters - so the choice is yours.
f) Find Weakness
This skill is made of win and awesome. Simply put, this skill increases your chance to score critica
l hits, which cause double damage. The higher you climb in levels, the higher your damage becomes, a
nd the greater is the additional damage your criticals will deal, to a devastating effect. Simply pu
t, with this skill you will do a lot more damage overall. You'll want this at 100 more sooner than l
ater. Find Weakness is obtainable only with a scroll or potion of education or through a wish. If yo
u want to play an orc or dark elf to get it, don't hesitate - it sure is worth it.
g) Food Preservation
This skill is shared by humans, drakelings, hurthlings and trolls, all of which get other non-archer
skills as well. Food Preservation by itself isn't a bad skill. It slows down the decomposition rate
of the corpses you carry around - both the cooked and uncooked ones - and, more importantly, increa
ses the chance of monsters you kill actually leaving behind a usable corpse. There are quite a few m
onsters you will want to eat corpses of: giants, quicklings, blink dogs, dark sages (if illiterate),
giant slugs, just to name a couple of the most desirable. How much you want this skill depends on h
ow much you are ready to exploit it, obviously. Increase levels as you see fit - higher levels are o
nly "needed" per se if you are preparing to engage a horde of monsters you want to eat the corpses o
f, like giant warbands or something. When deciding which race to play that has this skill, do check
out the other skills. For the others, Food Preservation is unobtainable without a wish or scroll/pot
ion of education.
h) Gardening
Well, they can't all be winners, right? Let's keep this short. Only hurthlings get this skill. It is
used to plant seeds, either herb seeds or plant seeds. Plant seeds produce trees - Rather useless,
though it can keep you from returning the surface to chop trees. Herb seeds can grow to herbs, and t
his is indeed nice. However, you will find only about four to five herb seeds in a single game, if y
ou're lucky. Do you really want to invest a lot of skill points just to be able to plant a couple of
herbs when you can essentially achieve the same with a decent stack of holy water? I know I don't.
If you do choose hurthlings, you probably won't because of this skill. Gardening is obtainable throu
gh Guth'Alak, but only if you already have Herbalism to begin with, since he will teach that skill f
irst. And archers don't have herbalism. If you do have this skill, try to have it at a high value be
fore trying to plant herb seeds.
i) Gemology
Yet another useful skill, though not as spectacular as Find Weakness or Athletics. Gnomes and trolls
are trained in this skill. With it, they can identify gems better - there is a good chance that the
y will be able to discern the worthless pieces of glass from the actual jewelry. However, the really
impressive effect is that a character with this skill will actually be able to find out gems from t
he rubble of destroyed walls. It doesn't even matter whether he mines the walls himself or lets a mo
nster do it - he will be able to find gems afterwards, while characters without Gemology won't. Now,
remember that there aren't only valuable gems and worthless pieces of glass - there are also crysta
ls. Some heal, some make light and darkness, some even produce fireballs, and some are crystals of k
nowledge. These can, if blessed, increase Learning - sometimes by one, sometimes even by two points.
Now imagine being able to mine a potentially infinite number of these and you can increase your lea
rning score well into the twenties! This is especially nice for trolls, who suffer from a low Learni
ng score anyway, but it is also very nice for gnomes. Since this skill is yet again unobtainable by
means other than scrolls/potions of education or wishes, it is somewhat worthwhile choosing a troll
or gnome for this skill (Especially since they've got other skills to offer). Start mining away once
you hit a sufficiently high skill level.
j) Literacy
This is the only non-archer skill the high and gray elven races grant, though any other race also ge
ts this skill if they have a decent Learning score (ten). Now, make no mistake about it - it is a tr
emendously useful skill, simply because not having means you can't read. No books, no scrolls. No re
ading books is bad enough as it effectively takes away your hopes of becoming a spellcaster worth an
ything. No reading scrolls, however, is a horrible handicap to endure - being illiterate for a whole
game truly is a great challenge - and challenge games are for those that have already won, not for
those still trying. Concerning scrolls, the value of the Literacy skill does not have any effect exc
ept on the scroll of literacy check, but that one is more of a joke item. The skill level does come
into play when it comes to reading books. While reading spellbooks may be very difficult early on, i
t becomes more feasible the more levels you increase and the better your Literacy skill becomes. Sim
ply put, invest points if you feel you can afford it in order to achieve spellcasting abilities. The
re is no need to play high elves or gray elves to get this skill. Not only is the chance high you'll
get it anyway with humans or gnomes, you can also get the skill from an artifact potion Thrundarr h
as (but will only give out to the illiterate) as well as from corpses of certain opponents who were
really good at reading when they were alive - spellcasters spring to mind. Dark ones.
k) Metallurgy
This is an orc specialty, but not one that scores many points on the usefulness scale. It enables yo
u to identify pieces of ore - which is pretty pointless as they should be easily recognized by their
weight. You can also 'a'pply it to find out the metal your items are made of. Only useful if you wa
nt to smith or find out whether an item of yours is susceptible to rust. Yet again, it isn't hard to
figure that out even without this skill, and the knowledge isn't all that important anyway. Metallu
rgy isn't the reason you want to play an orc, that's for sure. I don't even think you should actuall
y use skill advances on it - do it only if you've really got no other, more useful skill to increase
. Metallurgy is unobtainable during the game. (Except for wishes and education stuff - you know the
drill)
l) Mining
A nice skill, though not terribly important. Trolls, orcs, dwarves and gnomes start out with it. Bei
ng knowledgeable in Mining means you can mine faster than those who don't have the slightest clue ab
out what they're doing. In-game, this means that the Mining skill decreases the time you need to dig
through stone with a pickaxe. Also, with this skill, pickaxes won't break on you that easily since
you know how to use them. Now, how much you'll want this skill depends on how much you want to dig -
and since there is both a spell and a wand that can do the digging for you, it isn't that important
. Not to mention that you can always dig even without this skill if the need arises. Fast digging ma
y be a way out of tough situations, but even with a high mining skill digging will take some time. F
ast digging is, however, useful in combination with the Gemology skill: Trolls and gnomes have that.
This skill is yet another skill you have to either wish for or get through a potion or scroll of ed
ucation. If you want this skill, you'll still have to decide which one of the four races that get it
to play, though. Spend points in Mining preferably after you've spent points in the more useful ski
lls.
m) Music
Only drakelings start out with basic musical knowledge, god knows why. Music is an ambivalent skill.
On the one side, animal companions can be very helpful. On the other side, the skill is useless unl
ess you've got it at values at least over 70 or something. Drakelings start out at a single digit nu
mber and without an instrument, however, and when animal companions would be most useful they simply
don't have the abilities to tame them. Now, at a high level, when your Music is finally maxed, ther
e are still dangerous animals you'd rather have tamed on your side than opposing you, namely killer
bugs. A tamed killer bug is a big help. However: You are not a bard. This means that you run the ris
k of companions turning on you - and you absolutely do NOT want to be surprise attacked by a killer
bug. Nobody in-game will teach you this skill, either start with it, wish for it or luck out with a
scroll or potion of education. This skill is the only incentive for choosing a drakeling over a huma
n skill-wise (though there is still the Acid Breath to consider), and I don't feel it compensates fo
r the crappiness of drakeling starting equipment compared to humans'.
n) Pick Pockets
This skill is a specialty of gnomes. Even though I don't particularly like this skill, I'm forced to
admit that it is pretty powerful. The reason for that is that you don't steal the items the monster
s have on them per se - instead every time you steal something with it a new item is generated. The
only restriction is that this item can never weigh more than 10 stones. Do you know that this means?
Gold and gems are possible. Any amulet, ring, potion, scroll or wand is possible. This includes art
ifact amulets and rings. Yes, it is entirely possible to get Preserver this way, or the ring of immu
nity. And even if you don't have this much luck, you'll still get a couple of very nice potions, scr
olls and wands. Or an amulet of life saving. Or a ring of regeneration. Or... You catch my drift. Th
e reason I don't like this skill anyway is that it's tedious to use. You have to 'a'pply Pick Pocket
s on monsters. To make the best use of this skill, you have to use it on *any* monster that has pock
ets, at least those that you can afford wasting a turn against - and these get of course more and mo
re plenty as the game goes on and you grow more powerful. In the end, it's a question of playing sty
le. Some use it religiously and love it; build your own opinion on this skill. I shall not forget, t
hough, that having it and using it with success a certain number of times is a prerequisite to becom
e a member of the thieves guild. Only members of the thieves guild can buy training from Yergius and
obtain skills like Detect traps, Disarm traps, Pick locks. It is pretty damn useless on low skill l
evels, though, and it takes some investment to increase it and get proper success. Note that while t
his skill may be a minor early game helper, you shouldn't play gnomes just to get it, but let yourse
lf become trained by Yergius. Since all you have to do to get this skill is be nonlawful when you me
et up with him, this should be possible even on level 1. (If you're lawful, simply eat a baby or som
ething to become neutral - or be a good roleplayer and don't even think about using it!)
o) Smithing
Like Pick Pockets, some people swear by this skill. Only dwarves start out with it. Sadly, you can't
just 'a'pply Smithing and be done with it, otherwise it would be more awesome than words could desc
ribe. First, you need an anvil, a hammer and a forge. Anvils are very rare to find - sometimes you w
on't have a choice but to either kill Kherab or Glod to get one. Forges aren't particularly plenty e
ither. Like pools, herbs or shops, they can appear on any level of a randomly generated dungeon. You
can also rent a forge from Glod (a bit tricky, but surprisingly nonchaotic is teleporting Glod out
of his smithy and afterwards luring him off Dwarftown - after that, you can use his forge freely) or
use one of the many forges in Darkforge. The problem is smithing takes time, and you don't want to
hang around in corrupting (and otherwise dangerous) areas like Darkforge too much. The hammer, final
ly, is the easiest thing to find during the game. Large hammers and warhammers (maybe even huge iron
hammers) work, regardless of metal.
But even only with these three things and the skill, all you can do is remove rust from your items.
You need ingots of the right metal to improve an item through smithing. Ingots itself can be randoml
y found, but the safer way to obtain them is to make them yourself, again with the Smithing skill. S
ince you are only an archer, not a weaponsmith, you can only make ingots out of pieces of ore. There
are four different kinds of ore, and four different kinds of ingots. So how much you can improve an
item is, in the end, directly dependant on how long you keep digging up walls to obtain the ore. Sm
ithing takes time and work, but a [+0,+1] metal cap can potentially become a [+7,+7] metal cap or so
mething eventually. Feel the power of this skill? Invest time and skill points in it and obtain the
proper tools, and you just may have the key to winning the game comfortably in your hands. It isn't
necessary do play dwarves to get this skill. It can be taught by Glod, the smith of Dwarftown, to an
ybody for a substantial, but not quite unaffordable amount of money. A dwarven archer could use the
skill before reaching Dwarftown, but it is very unlikely that he manages to get the equipment needed
before Dwarftown. So even though Smithing is very useful, I wouldn't play dwarves just for it. The
smithing skill directly influences anything you want to do with it: Transforming ore into ingots, su
ccess in improving the items. So I would try to get it as high as possible before starting serious s
mithing sessions.
Another general hint: If you want to make the best use of Smithing, you should be prepared to also m
ake the best use of all the ore. Due to the rarity of eternium, you don't want to equip all-eternium
equipment and enhance it. Some parts of your equipment should be iron, some mithril, some adamantiu
m and some eternium. That way you don't have to throw away perfectly good ore. Dragon scale mail, fo
r instance, is considered to be made of adamantium. So instead of wearing eternium plate mail, wear
dragon scale mail and use your eternium to improve your eternium tower shield or something. Bracers
in general are usually iron-made. Crowns of regeneration are iron-made and, if smithed up, a lot bet
ter than eternium caps. And if you already wear all of this stuff plus eternium tower shields and et
ernium boots, you should actually wear a mithril girdle instead of an eternium girdle just so you ca
n do something with your mithril ore. (Actually, you'll probably want to wear girdles of giant stren
gth and seven league boots the most... for these you can't use Smithing, so you should keep your scr
olls of defense and protection around for them.)
p) Swimming
A skill that is difficult to replace for those that don't start out with it, in this case any but hu
mans and drakelings. Simply put, if your character can't swim, he really, really shouldn't try. In s
ituations where the only way to escape from overwhelming opposition is across a body of water (one o
f the dungeon rivers, for instance), not knowing how to swim means death. The importance of this ski
ll is greatest early on in the game, but it doesn't become obsolete by any means. For instance, move
ment speed in the Water Dragon Cave is directly influenced by the skill level in Swimming. Also, it'
s always better (and easier) to be able to cross rivers without wasting ice or teleportation spells
(or, god forbid, investing in the Bridge Building skill - I pity anyone who has to build bridges bec
ause he can't swim). Lastly, ask yourself: How ridiculous is it if you can best ancient dragons in c
ombat, but quiver in fear before a simple river? Invest skill advances in it until you feel safe tra
versing bodies of water. Having the skill at 100 is not necessary in most cases, but then, every poi
nt can prevent the "You are drowning!" message and thus save your life in a tough spot. While you sh
ould have this skill, luckily it's not necessary to play a human or drakeling to obtain it. Blup, th
e baby water dragon, can teach it to you, but only if you're nice to him. I heard he likes carrot ju
ice... Of course, carrot juice may be common, but you won't always have the luck to find enough of i
t early on, and while your character is stuck without Swimming... Let's just say that, in any case,
drakelings and humans have one thing less to worry about.
q) Ventriloquism
Finally, the last skill in this extensive list, yet another gnomish specialty. This skill can confus
e anyone you use it on. He or she will then stagger around aimlessly like any confused opponent. Sin
ce there are no confusion spells, the only way aside from mindcraft to confuse opponents is with thi
s skill. A nice (but very chaotic) treat is that this skill can be used to "aggro" certain opponents
inside a town without making all the others hostile. To them, it will seem that the victim of your
Ventriloquism skill attacked you first, and they will even try to protect you. That's not the only u
se of the skill: You'll always benefit from very powerful opponents being confused. You spend a turn
confusing them, they spend the next four turns or so recovering from confusion. I'm counting a coup
le hits more for you, though it's fewer if the opponent hits you by accident. Regarding skill points
: If you want to use this skill effectively at all, you'll have to invest in it, as its chances of s
uccess are pretty low at low skill levels. If this skill strikes your fancy, you'll probably love pl
aying a gnome, because there is no other way aside of wishes, scrolls or potions of education to get
it. (Nice fact: Ventriloquism is even usable while confused, so you can use it to confuse the doppl
egangers that confused you and kill them! Thanks to Narcolepcy for this piece of information.)
r) Acid Breath
No, I'm not finished. Yes, wallow in despair as I add, in a revised version of this guide, another e
ntry in the non-archer skill section that is not actually a skill, but a special ability only drakel
ings have! I've decided to include it because it deserves the same special attention as the skills w
hen you choose your race. If you play a drakeling, you can press "m", then choose the direction with
the well-known number prompt (with the 5 missing, as you can't attack yourself) and then spit a glo
b of acid in that direction. This glob of acid deals more damage with each level, and flies until it
has used up all its damage, i. e. when it can't kill the first thing it hits, it will stop, but if
it deals enough damage, the leftover acid hits the opponent after that. The Acid Breath has a very l
imited range, though. An exceptional property of this special attack is that it doesn't consume powe
r points like spells would, but nutrition. It's like the food you eat serves as fuel. If you're low
on food, you should be careful about using the Acid Breath.
The Acid Breath is not something you should continually use, simply because its power scales up by l
evel and is not dependent on how often you use it. As long as you use the Acid Breath, you don't tra
in weapon skills, and frankly, missile weapons are a lot more powerful overall than the Acid Breath.
Dopplegangers are NOT immune to the Acid Breath, though, so drakelings actually have few problems w
ith them.
Sometimes, when you get into situations where you absolutely *have* to eat something (curaria or alr
aunia spring to mind) but are bloated, you actually want to get rid of your absorbed nutrients ASAP.
Stomacemptia doesn't work because you would have to eat that as well. The only solution? Being a dr
akeling and using the Acid Breath attack. So, to recap, it has two uses: Killing monsters and loweri
ng satiation value while bloated when required. The first one can be covered in all but few cases by
your missile weapons (and later on, wands fulfill the role of the breath attack just as fine), but
the second one is hard to get. Luckily, you don't have to waste skill advances on this, as it isn't
a skill (duh). Even though the Acid Breath is a drakeling racial ability, other characters can actua
lly obtain it themselves, or at least a variation of it: There is a corruption that makes you exhale
sulphur, which you can use just the same way you can use the Acid Breath. If you're far enough in t
he game to become corrupted, the corruption is probably only useful for the nutrient-lowering, thoug
h. A last bit of advice: If you play a drakeling archer, go to Terinyo and spend every goshdarned co
in you have on large rations (of course, only so many you can carry), because you should have the Ac
id Breath ready to fill in against the more dangerous opponents until you find decent ammo and armor
.
IV. Weapons
1. Short version
This section is for those who don't want to look for my recommendations in the stuff below:
Missile weapon: Bow *and* crossbow (switch regularly to get decent weapon skills in both)
Melee: Shield and either Spear or whatever you find that does decent damage (but the shield is prett
y much a given)
Note that this is IMHO the best choice for all races, even hurthlings (Sling bonus?). Read below for
why I think it is.
2. Arrows and quarrels

The description says that race has a great influence on the preferred missile weapon. This is true t
o a certain level, since every race starts out with different ranged weapons. However, the definite
best missile weapons (and very much worth switching to!) in the game are the bow and the crossbow. T
his is mainly because of the quality of the ammo you find: Arrows and quarrels come in all the highe
r metals and, most importantly, as "slaying" ammo. "Slaying" ammo (example: "arrows of dragon slayin
g") can be tremendously useful in defeating some very powerful enemies you will have to face. Slayin
g arrows and quarrels are pretty frequently found as random drops. An archer should pick up any stac
k of arrows and quarrels he stumbles across just for the chance that it is slaying ammo. (Note that
all slaying quarrels are shown as brown instead of grey and weigh twice as much, so if you find a st
ack of brown missiles, walk onto it and notice it's quarrels and weighs 4s each, pick up those babie
s!)
That alone would be sufficient reason to make bows and crossbows choice number one. Add the fact tha
t you can make only arrows and quarrels with Fletchery. That should settle the case, right?
Humans, high elves, gray elves, dwarves, gnomes and orcs start out with either bows or crossbows and
use arrows or quarrels. Dark elves start out with a hand crossbow and use tiny quarrels, which is n
ot exactly what you want, but at least trains the crossbow skill. Hurthlings, drakelings and trolls
have to find bows, crossbows and sufficient ammo to switch to on their own, which makes playing them
a tad bit harder.
3. Arrows or quarrels?
You heard me say that the best weapons are the bow and the crossbow. Now you'll probably ask which o
ne to pick. My advice is to train both. You will not achieve as high values in weapon skill, but thi
s is offset by the fact that you will be able to use both slaying arrows and quarrels effectively -
since slaying ammo is what will really win your battles. Another advantage of the bow and the crossb
ow is the possibility of getting Sun's Messenger and The Far Slayer as crowning gifts - unless you g
et one of them, both classes should be trained equally. In general it's like this: arrows are more p
lenty, but quarrels deal more raw damage.
4. Slings and rocks

Now, a word about the sling, because there is also an artifact sling as a crowning gift. The sling h
as the advantage that there is a virtually endless supply of rocks for it. Yet, as an archer, you've
got enormous skill as a fletcher, and should always be able to produce enough arrows and quarrels f
or your needs. Also, the rock is a rather weak missile - it doesn't do anything but deal 1d4 damage,
which is hardly improved by any sling that isn't Whirlwind. Though it does come in a lot of variati
ons (the best being (+3, 1d4+3), it cannot have magical properties like "of slaying" and "of penetra
tion", which is possible for arrows and quarrels. There are sling bullets, granted - but the catch i
s that you can't produce them through fletchery. The few you find aren't a lot to work with, especia
lly since they are smashed frequently. Also, while there is a wide range of monsters arrows and quar
rels can "slay", there's only sling bullets of demon slaying. That's not bad, but still, no construc
t, humanoid, undead or dragon slaying means there's a fair number of opponents you have trouble dama
ging with sling bullets. Also, you can't throw sling bullets, which is a major disadvantage for hurt
hlings relying on their thrown rocks skill.
Another factor is the weight. Rocks are 2.5 times as heavy as arrows and quarrels. Usually you don't
have enough carrying capacity to carry around a decent stock of arrows, quarrels AND rocks. So my a
dvice is sticking with the first two, except maybe if you actually found the artifact sling Whirlwin
d and are a hurthling, in which case I would probably still keep around bows and crossbows at a some
what decent level solely to exploit the slaying ammo, because as I said - besides sling bullets of d
emon slaying (or sling bullets of slaying) there is no slaying power on a sling bullet.
5. Other ranged weapons

Let's talk a bit about other ranged weapons. There is the hand crossbow that uses tiny quarrels. Pic
king up tiny quarrels is not as important as picking up normal-type quarrels because they cannot be
quarrels of -monster- slaying. (They certainly can be magical "of slaying" quarrels, but so can any
missile or throwing weapon except rocks) Also, tiny quarrels do less damage than normal quarrels (st
ill more than arrows, though). At least they increase the crossbow skill, which makes them useful fo
r training against small fry. The other weapon skills, however, are not really worth it under normal
circumstances. All the throwing weapon skills suffer from two weaknesses: First, you don't find muc
h (Except for rocks), from which stems second: The melee weapons (For instance, crude knives) you ca
n use instead of throwing weapons (Throwing daggers) have the problem that the game treats them as m
elee weapons (duh). The result: No automatic restocking with them once you run out of actual throwin
g weapons. You'd have to waste a turn equipping your stack of throwable melee weapons, say, crude kn
ives. You can't always afford to waste a turn. All this makes it hard to train in throwing weapon sk
ills, worsened by the fact that there are so many different throwing weapon skills, and so few throw
ing weapons for each skill. Add to this the unavailability of "slaying" throwing weapons (Again exce
pt for the magical "of slaying" attribute), and the tragedy is perfect.
The story is a bit different for "returning" weapons. Though they do not deal much damage, they help
in training a throwing weapon skill tremendously. A boomerang (or scurgar of returning) is probably
the best returning weapon there is, since scurgari can come in higher metals and in the "of death"
variety. Spears of returning are wonderful in training up the throwing spears weapon skill to prepar
e for the arrival of the rune-covered trident, which is especially useful for wasting balors on D:50
if supported by a decent weapon skill. Curved throwing clubs and daggers of returning are nice toys
, but in the end not really that useful due to the rarity of decent throwing weapons for these class
es (In case of the thrown rocks and clubs class, utter unavailability).
6. Melee weapons
Regarding melee weapons, you should definitely pick a shield for this class. The reason for that is
that archers deal the most damage with their ranged weapon of choice, so the higher damage of a two-
handed weapon is rather useless, while the DV gain of a shield is very useful. In your free hand, yo
u can wear a one-handed melee weapon of your choice. You won't always be using ranged weapons due to
ammo limitations (although Fletchery could change that), that's why training in a certain melee wea
pon skill is a good idea. Which melee weapon skill to train depends on the one-handed melee weapons
you find (or hope to find). Swords are good in case you find a sword of sharpness, daggers in case y
ou find a phase dagger, or anything else if you find a -weapon- of penetration - and who knows what
kind of artifact you'll stumble upon? If you prefer extra DV over weapon damage, you can use a spear
or go crazy entirely and use a second shield (after having obtained crazily high ammo stacks, of co
urse).
7. Ammunition
Depending on your race, you start the game with low to average amounts of ammunition. Of course, the
one you start out with is not enough for the rest of the game: You must find more. As with any item
, ammunition can be randomly dropped by any monster. Especially in the early game, though, you can't
rely very well on that. When you notice you run out of precious ammunition, it's time for desperate
measures!
First, there is a certain kind of trap that shoots arrows: It has a white-colored trap symbol (The s
pear trap has the same, be careful). If you're desperate, you can activate that trap on purpose with
Strg-t, hoping that you can use the arrows it shoots at you afterwards. You'll take damage, of cour
se (unless you've got high PV), and you accumulate arrows very slowly that way.
The main source of arrows and quarrels is the Fletchery skill. Normally, you wait until you have the
skill at a decent level and use your fletchery set on logs. Yet, you can also make ammo out of wood
en sticks. Again, do that only when you've positively run out of ammo, because fletchery sets don't
grow on trees. The gain is yet again low - usually you get very few arrows or quarrels from a wooden
stick.
Rocks can be accumulated by digging through walls or triggering stone block traps, if you're feeling
desperate. Even if you don't have a pickaxe, you can go to PC:2 and let the ants dig through the wa
lls, producing plenty of rocks. Also a good source of rocks: Collapsing tension rooms.
Finally, one of most practical alternative sources of ammo are monsters. Not only can they randomly
drop ammo just like other items; there are some monsters that have high chances of dropping certain
kinds of ammo. An example is the goblin rockthrower: He will often drop rocks for you to use. A list
of the ones that are sort of relevant in the early game:
Barbarians: Found in the wilderness, so you can hunt them down if you can spare the game time. They'
re quite tough in the beginning, but become manageable - if you haven't run out of ammo, that is. Fi
re arrows and can drop very decent stacks. They also tend to drop short bows, their leaders even lon
gbows.
Black hurthlings: Rare, but weak, fortunately. Fire tiny quarrels and can drop very small stacks of
these. They also drop hand crossbows.
Dark elven archer: Rare and not total pushovers. Fire tiny quarrels and can drop very small stacks o
f these. They also drop hand crossbows.
Gargoyles and Margoyles: Rare, pretty sturdy and can hit a low-level PC quite hard. If you eat their
corpses, you get a small amount of rocks.
Goblin rockthrowers: Common and weak. Fire rocks and can drop small stacks. They also drop slings fr
equently.
Kobolds: Common and weak - if they're not large. Fire arrows and can drop stacks. They also tend to
drop short bows.
Ogres: Quite rare, and formidable opponents for low-level PCs. Fire rocks and can drop small stacks.
They also drop slings frequently.
Pixie archers: Rare and weak. Fire tiny quarrels and can drop small stacks.
Quicklings: Rare, fast, how well you fare against them depends on your luck hitting them. Fire tiny
quarrels. Because they are so fast, they can actually fire a lot of them.
Raiders: Rare, not that tough. Fire arrows and can drop decent stacks. They also tend to drop short
bows and longbows.
Ratling archers: Rare, not very tough. Fire quarrels and can drop decent stacks. Also a possible sou
rce of light crossbows.
Because you have to kill these monsters somehow, it's best not to let your last missiles go out befo
re gathering more. Generally, keep an eye on your ammunition status and if you drop below, say, 20 a
mmo left, take measures to obtain more.
As the game progresses, the ammunition situation changes dramatically. Sooner or later, if you relig
iously pick up any stack of quarrels and arrows you find just as I told you, you'll find yourself wi
th tons of ammunition in your backpack. Now you've got another problem: Weight. Arrows and quarrels
may weigh only 2 stones each, but once you have enough of them, they can really drag you down, espec
ially since you want to carry other stuff as well (good ADOM players usually pick up every single po
tion, scroll and wand they find, just for the chance they need them someday...). Walking around stra
ined or even very strained for a prolonged period of time will lead to dexterity loss. While that is
somewhat less of a problem if you've got mosses of mareilon to repair the damage, it's still someth
ing to be avoided. Here is a couple of pieces of advice:
- When you know you've got enough ammunition anyway, start picking out and dropping those that have
no magical properties and are on small stacks, for instance your single cursed arrow (-2, 1d6-1) and
your bundle of 2 blessed arrows (+1, 1d6-2) and so on.
- If you know you won't be using rocks, then don't take them with you. They're too heavy. The same g
oes for throwing clubs. Even throwing daggers and scurgari weigh a bit too much for them to hang aro
und in your backpack unused in great stacks. Make sure
- The same goes for tiny quarrels. If you've got enough normal quarrels, you don't have any need for
the tiny ones. Drop them and your hand crossbows. (An exception could be made for tiny quarrels of
slaying.)
Err:509
- It is only good sense to have some spare missile weapons, but don't overdo it. You'll never need m
ore than three missile weapons of the same type, and even three is pretty paranoid. One spare bow an
d one spare crossbow is usually enough, except if you'r
- Generally, if I feel uncomfortable getting rid of an item, I tend to keep it. You can survive pret
ty well being strained the whole game, you'll just never be super-dextrous - with mosses of mareilon
, however, you can always get back to mid-twenties.
8. General equipment
Archers love the same stuff everyone else loves. They love PV to survive enemy attacks. They love DV
to avoid being hit. They especially love Speed, though, because being able to outrun opponents can
often be the difference between victory and defeat. For the same reason, seven league boots are an a
rcher favorite. Archers usually have trouble carrying all the stuff they want, so you should wear a
girdle of carrying, or better, a girdle of giant strength. Regeneration items, like bracers or crown
s of regeneration, are wonderful for any character. You should, in any case, take care not to wear t
oo much equipment that lowers archery to-hit, especially not early on. A plate mail just isn't the t
hing for you.

This is not the order in which you should wish for things, but serves rather as a pool of ideas in c
ase you've got a wish and don't know what to do with it; it should be noted, however, that the first
possible wish listed *is* a very good investment. The exact phrase you should use is in "". Note th
at when it comes to items, it's always a good idea to wish for them in plural: In most cases, you ac
tually get more than one. When I didn't put the item in plural, it's because you only get one either
way.
- "amulet of life saving". For Khelly, because he rewards you with six scrolls of chaos resistance a
nd is essential to the ultra endings.
- "Find Weakness" skill if you don't have it already.
- "arrows/quarrels of -foo- slaying" if you lack any before a fight. Sometimes the random number gen
erator just loves to keep his humanoid slaying ammo to itself. The following types of slaying ammo e
xist and can be wished for: dragon, demon, humanoid, gi
- "potions of quickling blood", just to increase speed some more, though instead you should wish for
- "Athletics", if you're not too advanced in levels already (or already have it).
- "pairs of seven league boots". With this item, archers can potentially beat any opponent provided
they have the space, since they'll be able to outrun ANYTHING except quicklings. Prime candidate for
a wish after Khelly has been saved.
- "rings of ice", so you may fare better in the Tower of Eternal Flames - a very nasty place otherwi
se.
- "scrolls of chaos resistance", because they are always nice to have.
- "wands of destruction" to finish the game.
- Ultra ending stuff, if you're feeling ambitious. Check the guidebook for what you need.
- "girdle of giant strength" to solve all your carrying problems - that is, until the next eye of de
struction/annihilator.
- "phase daggers" to deal with high-PV monsters, though you should likely have penetrating arrows an
d weapons.
- "emperor moloch", if you have lots (and I mean LOTS, because this wish creates like 25 of them) of
demon slaying ammo, yet your trollish archer still doesn't seem to get any decent XP. Penetration w
eapons also work against them, but you're asking for tr
- "books of Strength of Atlas", provided you have decent Literacy and Learning, to solve your carryi
ng problems indefinitely.
- "Herbalism" if you chose Healing earlier, though at the stage where you get the most wishes you do
n't need it that much.
- "Alchemy", but only if you've got time left to train it to 100 and check the recipe for potions of
gain attributes.
- "scrolls of education" if you want a chance to get several skills, but that's just gambling. Note:
You should wish for
- "magical writing sets" if you've already seen scrolls of education or of chaos resistance and want
to make more.
- Powerful armor, like "-color- dragon scale mails" or "eternium plate mails". Note that you have to
specify the kind of dragon scale mail, it is not possible to wish for dragon scale mails and get on
e of every type. The following colors are possible: blu
10. Archer crowning gifts

Yeah, I know you don't actually benefit that much from knowing this information. There is no way to
affect the choice of the random number generator anyway. But I think it's nice to know what to expec
t from your crowning. And since almost every archer far in the game will be stuck with one of these
at some point, why not give them a little bit of attention?
a) boots of the divine messenger

+3/+3 DV/PV, increases Dexterity by 5, grants death ray resistance, paralyzation resistance and tele
port control
I've never actually gotten this artifact before. It offers a couple of very useful magical propertie
s. The DV/PV is rather low compared to what you can get with smithed up equipment, but pretty nice o
therwise. The added dexterity is a very nice bonus. Death ray resistance, paralyzation resistance an
d teleport control are intrinsics every PC needs, as each of them can be invaluable when dealing wit
h certain situations. Having Boots of the Divine Messenger on, I'd imagine, removes a couple of head
aches you have regarding endgame equipment (especially the paralyzation resistance, because even the
most powerful characters can be utterly destroyed by greater mimics without it). While all of the r
esistances and teleport control can be obtained in other ways (most famously trough the respective a
mulets or, in case of teleport control, rings or blink dog corpses), it would be nice to keep the am
ulet slot available for wearing amulets of rapid healing or the ankh. I'd consider this a lucky crow
ning gift, the only disadvantage of the Boots of the Divine Messenger as a crowning gift is the fact
that the non-artifact seven league boots are already so useful to an archer. A luxury problem, I kn
ow.
b) The Far Slayer

Adds +18 to crossbow to-hit and damage
I have gotten this artifact before, though not as an archer crowning gift. Should you find it random
ly, you can recognize it through its weight: It's the only heavy crossbow that weighs 350s. Simply p
ut, it's the best crossbow in the game. It surpasses even the best heavy crossbow of accuracy by len
gths. With this artifact, your quarrels become mighty quarrels o' kill. If you get this artifact, do
not hesitate to specialize in crossbows more, and most importantly, use your fletchery sets on quar
rels. With several hundreds of quarrels, the Far Slayer and Mastery (eventually Grand Mastery) in Cr
ossbows you almost don't need slaying ammo anymore to be able to kill absolutely anything. With slay
ing ammo... Let's just say that this artifact also removes headaches, simply because you don't have
to worry anymore whether you'll be able to compete in the endgame. Far Slayer is one of the best cro
wning gifts you can get as an archer, and having it is a reason to celebrate. And by celebrate I mea
n kill monsters to take their loot.
c) Sun's Messenger
Adds +15 to bow to-hit and damage and slays undead
Have gotten this before, again not as an archer crowning gift. If you're an elf, you've got slightly
higher chances to get this. It's easily recognizable by being called an elven longbow, though its w
eight is the same as a normal longbow. This artifact is more or less Far Slayer for arrows. The diff
erence in to-hit and damage is more than made up by the undead slaying property. So what if you are
slightly less likely to hit other opponents and deal slightly less damage compared to the Far Slayer
? Being able to one-shot the more wussy undead (most importantly, ghost lords) and quickly defeat al
l the others more than makes up for that. With this artifact longbow, you can spout laughter and moc
king at these pesky emperor liches! Well, until they defeat you anyway that is. What I said about Th
e Far Slayer still holds true otherwise. If you get Sun's Messenger as a crowning gift, specialize i
n arrows and switch to arrow-making exclusively. On a side note, you can choose to sell your arrows
and quarrels of undead slaying in the nearest general store. You won't be needing 'em anymore.
d) True Aim
+10 to-hit, deals 15d5 damage
This silvery arrows (only one in the game) weighing the usual 2s is one of the crowning gifts you'll
get if the random number generator hates you. Apart from its higher damage, this is regular ammo. I
t does not have slaying powers, higher critical chance nor does it even make a funny noise when it h
its a monster or something else remotely interesting. It simply deals 15d5 instead of 1d6 extra dama
ge (and is a bit more likely to hit than other arrows). 15d5. That's 15-75 damage. An eternium arrow
s deals, on average, 10-20 damage. That is quite a bit lower, granted. But now consider what I told
you about the importance of slaying ammo. For the dangerous opponents, you shouldn't use eternium ar
rows or True Aim: you should have suitable slaying ammo ready, they're the biggest stick in your ars
enal, not True Aim. And while it deals a fair bit of damage, if it's used and the opponent still liv
es (and he will unless he's a goblin or something), you have to use other arrows anyway. Sun's Messe
nger is so much more useful than True Aim it's not even funny, since it adds its damage to ANY arrow
you shoot, including SLAYING ammo. If you get stuck with this shitty artifact, feel free to scream
obscenities or whatever helps you cool down (I know it helped me). Just remember that life goes on,
even if your crowning sucks. And at least you got an immunity, right?
e) Thunderstroke
+8 to-hit, deals 20d4+8 damage
Remember what I said about the silvery arrow? This obsidian quarrel may be of an entirely different
color, but it sucks just like that for the same reasons. Thunderstroke deals 28-88 damage, which is
quite a bit more than True Aim. Still a great deal better than the 12-32 of an eternium quarrel, but
still no slaying powers, still only one-time usable in a given fight, still no funny noises. Due to
the opposite appearance compared to True Aim, you may vary on the kinds of obscenities you scream i
f you get stuck with this garbage. (Maybe shout "Unholy piece of shit" instead of "Holy piece of shi
t"...)
f) Whirlwind
+12 to sling to-hit and damage, grants resistance to fire
This sling is easily noticed by the fact that it is covered in runes for some reason. Like Sun's Mes
senger and Far Slayer, it's the best missile weapon for its class you can ever hope to find. Unlike
Sun's Messenger and Far Slayer, having it is no reason to specialize in slings, as I've explained in
length in another section above. Also, the to-hit and damage bonus is not that spectacular compared
to Sun's Messenger and Far Slayer, considering crossbows and longbows of accuracy can scale almost
all the way up to +12 to-hit as well. If you're a hurthling archer and have somehow ended up using r
ocks until your crowning, you'll be glad to know that you can actually keep up the rockslinging unti
l the end of the game and both success and Grand Mastery are almost guaranteed. The fire resistance
is only of minor interest, but may be somewhat nice if you lack a fire resistance source for the ToE
F and can't have your favorite missile weapon equipped all the time anyway. This crowning isn't as b
ad as the artifact missiles, but mostly it's also no reason to jump around in circles. Chances are g
ood you stuff this in your backpack, keep on using bows and crossbows and forget about it.
V. Archer vs. Boss
Remember for all of these that blessed ammunition is a lot more useful than uncursed or especially c
ursed against most enemies - so do invest a fair bit of holy water!
Keethrax: Any type of ammo should work due to sheer archer damage. Humanoid slaying is almost instak
ill. Remember to take a light source with you, though, since Keethrax uses Darkness spells and you c
an't fire in the dark. Also, you should be resistant to fire so his magic barrages don't hurt you to
o much, and remember that he shoots missiles - berserking is risky.
Hotzenplotz: Berserking archery to start off, humanoid slaying is instakill. When he manages to catc
h up to you, your best bet is to switch to coward mode and shoot off a couple of wands. That, or sim
ply be faster (105 speed is good, 110 is better; remember to be unburdened and normally satiated, al
so remember that if you have lower than one third of your HP left, your walking speed increases if y
ou switch to coward. Some ways to become fast: Choosing the Raven starsign, having high dexterity an
d/or Athletics, choosing Quick talents or Long Stride, wearing speed- or movement-enhancing equipmen
t) in some way so you can gain some ground on him again. You DO NOT WANT to be hit by Hotzenplotz to
o often - his poison attack is strong enough to kill even the poison resistant once he gets a few hi
ts in.
Rehetep: Undead slaying ammo is the best way, together with fire spells. Rehetep is less of a proble
m in general, his servants can mean loads of trouble. Be prepared, optimally level 16 or even 17 (th
e pyramid closes for characters of a level higher than 16, but as long as you're in, you're free to
gain as many levels as you want), preferably have as many different kinds of slaying ammo as possibl
e to cover the widest base of opponents possible, be invisible, have the fireball wand Thrundarr giv
es to you.
Nonnak: Humanoid slaying ammo, berserking archery. Be immune to ice and keep him at a distance, and
you should be able to ace this fight.
Griff: Undead slaying ammo (though I love teleporting behind him and pouring holy water on his grave
- you still get XP as if you defeated him!)
Snake from Beyond: No slaying ammo will fit, I'm afraid, except universal slaying ammo. The Snake ca
n be beaten with normal ammo, too, but you'll take some beating as well. Clear out the area, have hi
gh speed so you can use hit and run tactics. Berserking archery helps if you can afford it.
Skeletal King: Undead slaying ammo. Confusion resistance.
Ancient Chaos Wyrm: Dragon slaying ammo. Only pack it out shortly before encountering the wyrm, or h
ave a ring of ice handy, because you DO NOT WANT your dragon slaying ammo to burn before the ACW is
dead - you have almost no other chance of beating that beast. Nasty is the fact that your bows and c
rossbows are also vulnerable to the fire. Archers need rings of ice. Also have potions of extra heal
ing, since that shock attack hurts like hell and if you have a clear shot at the ACW, he gets a clea
r shot too. If you do have a clear shot, be invisible so you can afford to go berserk even with mons
ters nearby. It is possible to one-shot the wyrm with high weapon skill, blessed slaying ammo plus d
ecent bow or crossbow and berserk tactics!
Cat Lord: Humanoid slaying ammo. Also lots of potions of extra healing because that thing is trouble
. No hit and run for you since he is so fast, and berserk mode is out of the question because of the
same reason. Paralyzing him works wonders, because if he can't move, he can't hit you, and if your
archer can't be hit, it's time for berserking! (Paralyzing is useful against any opponent, but hard
to come by since it is only in wands - depending on how many cats you killed, the cat lord is going
to be one of the best choices to use your wands of paralyzation on!) Note that the Ring of the Maste
r Cat is an extremely useful artifact for archers, so you should avoid to kill cats.
Master Summoner: Humanoid slaying ammo. First lure the Master Summoner into the hallway you dug, the
n get a bit of distance between him and you (By this time your speed should be halfway decent) and u
se berserking archery. With that and slaying ammo, he should be down in two hits, tops. You should d
rop valuable equipment you won't need in the fight on another level, and the stuff you will need som
ewhere outside the area where items are destroyed. Especially your slaying ammo should not be brough
t inside. Pick it up once you have left the item destruction area with Yulgash behind you, equip it,
use it! And don't bother exploring the whole temple and killing every monster. It ain't worth the i
tem destruction.
Ancient Stone Beast: I hope you saved all that penetration ammo or found a penetrating weapon or pha
se dagger, 'cause you won't beat this monster through normal means. Best to deal with its earthen go
ons first. Lure the Ancient Stone Beast to another level so you can fight it one-on-one. Got no pene
tration? Then either retreat and find some or go crazy with berserking hit and run and hope for luck
y damage rolls and criticals. This is IMHO the biggest pain in the ass for archer characters. Not be
cause it is so dangerous - for a monster this late in the game, it doesn't hit that hard - but becau
se it is so annoyingly hard to kill. If you've reached level 40, your class power is going to come i
n very handy.
Chaos Archmage: Humanoid slaying ammo. Notice the pattern? Humanoid slaying is among the most useful
types of slaying. Against the Chaos Archmage, remember the death ray resistance, the confusion resi
stance and the light source under all circumstances! (Just fought against him without confusion resi
stance. It's doable, but the stat decreases you get while wasting turns staggering around are horrib
le.)
Use your slaying ammo for the most dangerous enemies, like demon slaying against balors, dragon slay
ing against ancient dragons and wyrms (and Sraxxarrakex), giant slaying against giant kings and tita
ns, jelly slaying against death oozes, undead slaying against emperor liches and lich kings. And an
ultimate archer ending definitely includes finding a nice stack of humanoid slaying ammo and blessin
g it...
Because I forgot the first time, I want to thank all the guys at the ADOM forum for their being trem
endously nice and fun people to chat, discuss, and generally be with, my friends for generally kicki
ng ass, my girlfriend for kicking the most ass (and for actually trying to play ADOM, if only to hum
our me), and Soirana, Nightmare, Narcolepcy, Hendar23, Giant Frog, Battle bunny and Mewto for their
suggestions. If you others want to get special mentions too, why not point out some flaws of this gu
ide to me? ;)

An introduction
If you've arrived here, you have either come from the ADOM forums over at the Hall of Fame, or walke
d a path too mysterious for me to fathom. Anyway, welcome to this blog that is not actually a blog.
You'd think it would be something cool like a top secret nuclear weapon laboratory, but basically it
is a place where I post hints and guides for ADOM.
ADOM stands for Ancient Domains of Mystery, a freeware role-playing game downloadable over at the of
ficial website www.adom.de. If this is new to you, it's a good time to go there, download the game a
nd try it before browsing through anything posted on here.
If you've tried to play through ADOM, you'll have realized already that it is a very hard game, the
very hard part being not dying. While in other, more mainstream games like Oblivion, Diablo, Neverwi
nter Nights or whatever you can either be resurrected or at least save your game and reload, there i
s no such luck in ADOM. When you're dead, you're dead.
And death lurks from behind all corners. Were someone to compile a list of the deaths you can die in
ADOM, I could show it to you and you would be in awe at how long it is. But since there isn't and i
t would take too much time to make one, just cut straight to the awe. Anyway, of all these deaths, a
single one is enough to keep you from winning.
Now, ADOM is very fun to play by itself, you don't need to win it. But as the highscore list gets fi
lled with characters who met their end at the hands of dangerous monsters, cruel, cruel fate or thei
r own stupidity, you'll probably start to desire more. A greater destiny. To complete the quest to s
ave the world!
Now, there is a document called the ADOM guidebook that can help you. In the most parts, it contains
all the information you will ever need, though it can be a spoily read. This compendium of ADOM gui
des (that doesn't contain a single one yet, I'll comment on that later) shall be seen as some kind o
f an expansion the the ADOM guidebook. I plan to post guides that tell the reader that wants to hear
it everything there is to be told about a certain class, so that they may take this class and actua
lly, finally, win the game with it.
I shall make the start with the Archer guide... soon. Tomorrow, to be exact. Hopefully.
This introduction, however, shall announce an integral part of Adom Guides' policy: Contribution! Or
do you think I actually want to write all the Guides for this website alone?!
If you're an experienced ADOM player, why not write a guide yourself and send it to me? I'd be happy
to put it up here, give people the opportunity to comment, and make this a place where as many peop
le as possible can get that little step closer to victory...

a. The manual.
Monks are able martial artists striving to achieve perfect mastery of body, mind and spirit. They are experts at fighting unarmed

c. Understanding the manual.

Part 1 The monks special martial power:
Monks gain a bonus to barehanded combat. At the start they have a barehanded attack doing 1d9 damage, compared to 1d3
Here are some typical values you might expect from a monk character at certain key levels in the game. The estimates put be
Level 1. No bonus:
1d9 damage, AVG damage will be 5.
Level 10. N9), +2 from strength.

1d18 + 7 damage, AVG damage will be 16,5.
Level 20. +12), +4 from strength.

1d28 +21 damage, AVG damage will be 35,5.
Level 50. +12 from equipment, +10 from skill (level 14), +20 from strength.
1d58 +54 damage, AVG damage will be 83,5.
Monks also receive a bonus to DV equal to 2/3 per level, for an increase of +33 to DV at level 50.
Burdened status will eliminate both of these boni, as will wearing a shield.
Wearing «heavy» armor will remove the DV penalty. To be precise, the allowed armors are: Robe, Black robe, Shirt of the Sain
Notice the absence of «Ancient mummy wrappings» in the list even though it weighs the same as a robe. Also, strangely, “ugly
Note that whanded weabonus will negatet he penalty of not using a shield.
Finally, as a light fighter, the monk receives +1 speed per two levels gained. This bonus will stay even if character wields weap
Part 2 The skillset

In my opinion, the monks have the best skillset of all classes in ADOM. Great for melee and magic, and containing 3 skills I ha
Alertness Avoiding darmored charcters. DV bonus helps along with other means to making the character unhittable at highe
Athletics Extra speeincreases on weak monks faster.
Concentrat Allows magstyle for any monk, even at low levels.
Dodge Good for all characters, and like alertness helps the monk evade hits due to the extra DV bonus.

Healing self explanatory, if monks did not have this it would have made the early game a bit harder

No, in fact I think it can be much further distilled.

The same is true for spears. Didn't I post that?

Anyway, the same is true for all tested weapon types: Daggers, eternium
spears, broadswords, quarterstaves, warhammers. This spans a wide array
of weapon types, so I would assume it holds true for all weapon types
except for those that can have no prefix/suffix (like swords of
sharpness), for which I would still assume that the to-hit/damage
modifiers are valid.
Of course, we don't know if there are other factors influencing item

generation (e.g. danger level or luck status).

Yes.

Yes; I have looked into this further and found victory posts mentioning
blue eternium plate mail in 1.0.0. Maybe the non-existence of blue
robes in current versions of ADOM is a bug; there was a bug report on
www.adom.de about blue armour getting the wrong on-screen colour. Maybe
something went wrong in fixing this. It would be good to check if blue
eternium plate mails can still be generated; ToGu, are you listening?
:-) If they cannot, I'd file a bug report.

Since the statistics describe everything else there is to know about the
statistics of wished for robes (which I think can be generalized to body
armour in general) apart from B/U/C status, I'd add that little detail too.

Ugh, I couldn't get around looking here for a while... yes, it is the
fault of sweet students highlife on weekends and lousy means of internet
access.
In fact I recently found a pre/suffix-combo at Waldenbrook's that at
least calls for an exact definition and, given this maybe a closer look
on the precedence of pre/suffix.
The specimen was an "ashen spear of vampirism".
The call for a precise definition arises when contemplating "of
vampirism"-effects: Does the drain of an opponent's HP come under the
headline of "damage" in the sense of the prefix "ashen"?
If "no" the effect is quite clear. No regular damage against undead,
just drains.
If "yes" the order of applying pre/suffix-effects is of quite some
interest. If the prefix takes precedence, (in the case of "ashen") the
regular damage against undead is nullified while the suffix "of
vampirism" still does affect undead. If the suffix takes precedence
really no damage is done to undead for the prefix is take into account
after the "vampirism" is added.
No evaluation so far. The character died before I began asking myself
the original question. And - typical enough - now I can't find any more
of these. I won't fall to hexediting me one. I'm not fully convinced the
act as the real RNG-crafted once, for no particular reason but the bad
feeling when doing it the 'easy' way.
