It's no problem.
Part 69: Random runs are fun. You lucked out on that random pick. If it had been goblin sorcerer this would have been so much harder. You tend to always prep the compression seal and not use it. Wow. Nice start. Always use the compression seal immediately. It is a good decision. End of story. Wow, MA! MA is incredible for gnome spell casters. The refreshment boon is incredibly powerful as you can save glyph conversion until the boss for little or no penalty. I'm glad you didn't fully heal. That would have been a mistake to do so. You can definitely win that. Sorcerer's a great early. In cramped maps save your subdungeon exploration as much as possible. Wow, tough luck. This is one instance where you probably shouldn't cast LEMISI too much. If it reveals the other boss you are in trouble. Oh, that was a BIG mistake. LEMISI is great in this dungeon (because of the bosses special ability. Good. Always kill the first strikers as popcorn when possible. Red sparkles are Dracul. On a side note, JJ is GREAT for gnomes. Mystera into JJ (or vice versa) is even better. With drac you could smack a vicious dungeon. Seriously. You use JJ for Mana Boost (TWICE!) and MA for Refreshment and maybe mystic balance. Then out to drac for extra boss hitting. Good. You remembered burning pop off. Ugh. Zombies are not fun opponents. Zombies and dragons have identical stats. So do golems, goos, and snakes. Yeah, you got that right. A minotaur. And a mean one at that. REFRESHMENT! Woah. You just totally glossed over refreshment. It is Mystera's best boon. Sorcerer's are actually slightly worse with B2P because they have the ability. Now, this is what blocked off is. Actually, Rex is a pretty wimpy boss. Yes, Rex always teleports orthogonally (the non-diagonal directions) to you when you kill a monster. That means you can get past him using corners ocasionally. That was well summed up. You get ONE hit. You do 35 damage per fireball, so this is fine with refreshment, except you only 2 glyphs. At least use B2P. Good. At least use B2P before you convert it. Come on! Good. Thank you for realizing that. NOOO! THAT WASTED MANA! That was poorly done. You wasted so many potions. Correct. You can wait and take home whichever trophy you prefer. Dracul is the only reason you could win this after such a poor first boss fight. How lucky of you. The labyrinth is considered one of the nastiest dungeons out there (along with shifting passages, the slime pits, and cursed oasis). You really kind of lucked out on this. As long as you are just exploring you might as well be fireballing anyone just to gain piety from MA. Of course the tower shield won't let you take a hit from the dragon. The dragon deals MAGIC DAMAGE! Yeah, you aren't out of the woods yet. Frankly, the only reason you are having so much trouble is you haven't found 2 of the health boosters. One important thing you should never forget: the sanguine boon costs 5 hp. That means a hit from him should leave you with more that 10 if you want to get good use out of sanguine. You should really explore past the goblin for the other health booster--never mind. Game over. You MAY have won. It wasn't as easy as you thought. You would have needed to score a good amount of sanguine from dracul. Frankly, you can live with Rex for a good while without having to deal with him.
KEY POINTS: Use the compression seal immediately. Refreshment and JJ are both much better than you give them credit for. Always explore the whole map (or at least get all boosters, shops, and glyphs) before you fight the final boss. Use B2P more. It's good. Always make sure you are under 50% mana when you use refreshment. Save all glyph conversions until the boss for gnomes (especially if you find MA), unless you really need the space.
Transmuter Bronze: Ah, this is a good learner's challenge. Wow, Bloodmages and Monks are both incredibly top tier classes. Speaking of the explorer's guild classes, you are missing one. The one behind the wall in double doom (and sometimes in other ones). Good, you should always use LEMISI immediately just to find boosters, glyphs and altars. And you didn't notice he was cowardly. As I say, look at the panel. Everyone is cowardly because that is how the challenge messes with you. You are an elf. Converting glyphs should be done frequently. You don't need CYDSTEPP and WEYTWUT. You can toss one for the mana and spirit sword. You don't need a potion when you have spirit sword up your sleve. Sprirt sword is great with CYDSTEPP, but only if you precast CYDSTEPP. That was a very good kill. Just precast CYDSTEPP and they are both easy kills. It may have been a mistake (and you must ALWAYS watch your conversion bar as a transmuter, but at least you can capitalize off it. Attack boosters (and any percent-based attack increase are going to be incredible for the transmuter. Your spirit sword increases your base damage for one turn, so your percent increases increase the spirit sword. Just use burning pop-off. Well, better accidentally than not at all. You should find better targets. You could kill a level 8 or an easy level 9. You weren't at full mana and he has magic res. What were you thinking? You have much more exploration than you think. Those water tiles are your exploration too. I hope you noticed that you are about to spirit sword. CYDSTEPP. It will be better. It would have been the kill. A POTION! It's okay to use potions sometimes, but you didn't have to! There are TWO health boosters right in there. This is an easy challenge. You just played poorly. YOU HAVE SO MUCH EXPLORATION! THE REST OF THE MPA IS MADE OF UNEXPLORED WATER TILES! You should kill the bandit, get the health booster, cast CYDSTEPP, cast BURNDAYRAZ, and convert the glyph. CYDSTEPP! WHY?! The one time you refuse to use CYDSTEPP is the one time it would be GREAT! 16 mana is the magic amount for CYDSTEPP and BURNDAYRAZ off a mid fight level up. You made tons of mistakes, but this is bronze challenge. Wait, why wouldn't you unlock him now?
KEY POINTS: Always use your conversion power at 0 mana. 16 mana is CYDSTEPP and BURNDAYRAZ, not BURNDAYRAZ and BURNDAYRAZ with 4 mana left over. Don't always accept that you shouldn't explore sometimes the smartest thing to do is look for a better target (even if you could just take a 2 level higher kill. Make sure you get all your boosters. As a human or elf, use the conversion to level up. As a halfling or gnome, use the conversions to CRUSH the boss. Still, either way you should have some conversions for both. Balance that as needed (whether leveling or the boss is hard).
