6.0 necro party run through Options

[bulian]

Updated journal through near the end of SoA (past ancient dragon). Party is on hold so future updates may take quite some time if they come.

Limak's brain (its stable in my bag of holding)

Which bag it is? I am doing a technical run for testing purposes with Necro protag, had Limak's brain in the red bag, it ended up being rotten and disappearing.

Looks like the code to destroy the brain is in Cromwell's forge area. Looks like I had deleted that code too. I put the code back in and the brain disappears upon entering Cromwell's forge. My mistake, I think its working as intended.

Added post with rest of exploits through the end of EDE and put some statistics at the end. If I feel up to it later I will add a couple of additional character snapshots.

Now let's hope Critto can finish up 6.2 soon

Asylum first floor - rest, clear floor (golems are 2 gem/2 coin/1 greater bone), get ring of regen, empty worn out boots, and spear +3. Rest and enter second floor.

Hi bulian,
you mentioned in your 'Necro run through' that you found a Spear +3 in Spellhold. Where exactly? Is it still there in IA6.2? I cannot find it

[critto]

It is still there, in form of an item upgrade from spears +2

[bulian]

The vendor outside of Saradush in TOB sells a +3 spear. Other than that, Critto's cryptic answer means he removed it from spellhold.

FWIW, I would recommend forging golem slayer for an avenger and halberds for warriors instead of the spear for my 2 perm scrolls worth.

There are no vendors who sell +3 quarterstaffs.

[Azoth]

Thanks bulian,
so Quarterstaff+ 3 needs to be forged. Good to know...
I will also go for Golem Slayer for Jaheira (Avenger) first but im trying also to forge the Corrosive Lance later. There should be enough Perm Scrolls.

Did you find a Buckler +3 (for Mazzy's shield)?

Buckler +3 also needs to be forged AFAIK, there's a couple of unique bucklers +1 (or +2) that could be found as early as CH2-3.

[bulian]

There may be a buckler +3 from a vendor in Neera's TOB quest but Im not 100% sure and it may not be a legitimate ingredient for forging (based on the item's ID). I'd be curious if you do forge that shield what you think of it. I havent yet tried it.
