Tips!

[drewjustforyou]

keep your horadric lutefish converting screen open (with your inventory closed) and any junk you pick up that is going to be fish'd anyways drop it straight in the box. you dont need to empty the box every time you get a new piece of fish, it will stack! (dont try to put stacks of fish back in it though :( it gets reduced) Shift+click to pick up anything you want to save and it will auto-loot into your inventory.

the higher your crafting level is the more ingots you get/compression (if you have level 3 crafting and put 1 iron reagent in, you get 3 iron ingots out)

You can sell your inventory at the merchant, drag and drop excess items!

-space bar- will cycle a single turn, great for making enemies approach you.


I've only been playing for a day (nearly 10 hours /yikes!) feel free to add snipets of advice! (especially for new players)

+/- keys on the keyboard accelerate or slow the game. Very useful as the game lack of dynamism as it is configured right from the start.

And before using the horadric cube, divide your stacks thanks to the anvil (or similar).

If you have an attack that can knock things back, you can use it on traps and knock them out of your way.

On later floors, try to open doors from the side tiles rather than the middle tile. This will give you a chance to shut the doors again if the room you just opened contains something you're not ready for.

Always have an escape route ready. Monster zoos will appear every floor or so, so you need to know exactly where stairs and teleporters go.

Don't be afraid to run. My current guy is very successfully clearing out the sixth and seventh floors now, and that's mainly because he ran away from a few inessential bosses and monster zoos a few floors back. You can always go back if you want the extra xp.
