I got the win! Thanks for the advice. I ended up with throwing hammers and 3 lovely boomerangs.

Ah this is a great response. I left a tomahawk a few floors up so I’ll go back and get it!

 

The run seems to be going well. Have got a +10 RoSS. Should I start putting upgrades somewhere else now?

If you had a run where you got the had the arcana and wealth rings on floor 1, where would you put your upgrade scrolls? Into the ring of wealth?

Thanks for that! What rings would you say are good for rogue?

So no upgrades into armour?

 

I have got plenty of wins with mage and warrior as they play pretty similar from my experience and now I’m trying to get a win with rogue but I can’t work out when to use my scrolls of upgrade and on what (weapon or armour or something else?) and what the general play style is like. I feel like the “blueprint” for successful runs with this class is different but can’t work out why. I can consistently have winning runs with warrior and mage but can barely get to floor 10 with rogue.

Forgive my naivety but how do you get a 60 shield that quickly? I thought the shield it gave was super low or does it go up massively with SoU

Wand of transfusion (self.pixeldungeon)

I read a lot of people saying this wand is great but cannot work out how to make it fit into any of my runs. I was just wondering if any of the WoT fans out there are able to give me a breakdown of how this works for them?

You’ll get there for sure.

One thing that I’d advise in addition to everything else people usually say, I’d say definitely take your time as the game only ticks when you perform an action (although hitting the inspect magnifying glass doesn’t consume a turn. When you walk into a room and see anything ask yourself “what problems need solving here and how can I confine myself to one minion to fight at a time”. Some of the time it’s trivial, but some of the time you might need to look at your utility or kite the mobs around.

Also having a plan during the later levels of how you can close the gap between you and casters will be crucial. They hit hard from a range but crumble if you get within melee distance.

Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions and I’m sure myself and the community will be able to help!

Got my first win today (self.pixeldungeon)
submitted 11 months ago by Gurgus to c/pixeldungeon
 

So stoked to have my first win in just over 150 attempts. I made a post on Reddit thanking the community for being so helpful but figured I’d start interacting on Lemmy since that’s where things have migrated to. Thank you everyone!
