First time I have got this far with three challenges. I had to pull all the stops out to get past the Dwarf King!
Picked up a ring of wealth early on, then the trap mechanism trinket. Got the wast of blast wave +2 and talisman of foresight… so upgrading the trinket was a no brainier. Lots of fun times knocking enemies into pits and traps. The sneak ability was a godsend for getting in the right place to knock enemies about!
Seed hmx-wdt-kbp. Wish me luck for the last few floors… the +3 greataxe I got from the dwarf king will help!
The challenges are champions, badder bosses and pharmaphobia
Update: just transmuted my +6 ring of wealth into a ring of haste. Sweet! Also got mages wand shield ability from upgraded transmutation and two potions of experience. Now to face Yog!
I wouldn’t say I have a strategic plan, I just try upgrade it as high as possible. I only use it in a place where I am relatively safe, but the upgraded spell book is too much fun to not upgrade
