Read ID your stacks of scrolls once you have a clear floor to do so on. Aditionally, once I've identified mutation and degeneration, I typically start to quaff ID my potions as well.

Yep! Once you have ID scrolls identified (usually by reading the largest stacks first) use them to identify other scrolls until you find blinking. Blinking should be thought of as a “scroll of lifesaving” because there are so many situations where blinking is the only thing that will save you!

After you have blinking identified (unless you’re identified a ton of scrolls but no potions yet) then go for identifying potions until you find degen and mutation as above!

Run away from large mobs. Often.

Probably one of the better tips!

Specialisation is key, especially at the start. Focus on your main skill (eg Fighting+weapon of choice, or Spellcasting+Fire Magic, …). You can probably skip levelling Dodging/Armourer for until you are more comfortable with progressing. I usually turn Dodging or Armourer at earliest in the Lair, but it depends a lot.

Those are great tips!

I don't know if this community is dead, but I just found it. I kind of stopped playing at .28 because I hated the opportunity attacks thing, so now I'm out of the loop.

  • Don't panic. The game doesn't do anything if you don't push any buttons.
  • Don't hold your consumables too long. Better to blink and live than die with 7 scrolls
  • Set your autofight stop to like 75%.

It’s pretty dead tbh which is sad. I’d love to see it grow. Thanks for sharing! I appreciate it!
