Wow, I really have to see this acid caster run. But first...
Part 20: Havendale Bridge is a really fun dungeon. You should really do that bank quest (if you haven't already), because that will get you the quest for elite items, which we both know are GREAT. Hmm... Wizards aren't great for Havendale. The unrand boss has magic res. Even still, Wizards are one of the best classes in the game, so it works fine. Wow, this is unbelievable. Fine Sword, Troll Heart, GETINDARE, APHEELSIK, and MA at LEVEL 1! You should GETINDARE for the kill. Wow, you already forgot the effect of your witchalok pendant. Yes, don't forget your reduced mana costs. You can beat that goat RIGHT NOW. Seriously, did you forget your GETINDARE ALREADY? You can literally hit and GETINDARE the goat, but since you seem to have forgotten GETINDARE, whatever. This is wasteful. I know over exploration isn't that important, but you can flat out murder a level 3 at level 1 and there is no reason not to. You must have forgotten GETINDARE. If not, this is inexcusably bad. Mystic Balance is actually BAD for Wizards. Generally, Wizards LOVE refreshment and magic. Here's a hint: If 1 level higher kills are easy, THEN KILL 2 LEVEL HIGHER MONSTERS. Good, you are gong for tougher monsters. You are TOTALLY misplaying your witchalok pendant. You want to use your fireballs after your first attack, so the 60% stoneskin gets you a second one. If you can see the bosses bone piles, always explore that way. There are 2 bosses in every hard dungeon except Creeplight. Wow, that was a lucky pick. You are a spell caster with GETINDARE and CYDSTEPP. Beyond a Taurog murderer, it is literally the best set up. You definitely need to level up kill Bleaty so you can get 2 CYDSTEPPs. Alternatively, you could take MA's weakening boon to lower his resists. Also, it is entirely possible to take a hit from Bleaty. It is possible to take hits from monsters that do 450 damage without CYDSTEPP (and indeed a challenge forces you to do this). Seriously, for a wizard, your glyph use is embarrassing. You have totally ignored GETINDARE which you could have used incredibly effectively, the PISORF could be used to smack Bleaty for physical, circumventing his spell resistances, and APHEELSIK could have been used for even higher level kills. See? As long as you are hauling these glyphs around, USE THEM. Don't just ignore them until Refreshment. Also, EVERY HARD DUNGEON HAS A UNIQUE BOSS! Seriously, you need to check the dungeon panel beforehand or you risk confusing newer players who think SMM could spawn instead of the unrand boss. There is a massive chunk of exploration. There is no reason to slow a level 7 meat man, as you cannot one shot it. Good job removing druid DPs. Oh, now you use the GETINDARE. AGES after it could have been useful. And then you don't even finish the boss with it and don't even bother thinking about it. Just convert a glyph or explore one of your 4 tiles. And that is what math is for. 42+2 does not equal 45. Okay, you may have crushed this run, but regardless it was not a good run. It was a lucky one (although you did play well, just not great).
KEY POINTS: If you are carrying a glyph, USE IT! Seriously, these glyphs all have many uses and in every dungeon you will be able to find AT LEAST one ideal situation per glyph. PISORF circumvents magic res, GETINDARE could have saved you a ton of resources, APHEELSIK enabled higher level kills. Also, excluding Creeplight Ruins, all hard dungeons have one random boss, and at least one unrand boss. Your witchalok pendant use was abominable. Seriously. You use it in between hits 1 and 2 (or after one so you can do two without dying).
Thief and Rogue Bronzes: First of all, this should be episode 21! All of your other class challenge ones are. And this took 30 mins? What? You must have a misclick. The Thief Challenges are the most fun. They are thematic and give a unique reward. Good job precasting. It makes this challenge rather easy. As a minor tip, always take hits from the level 1 and use GETINDAREs on the level 3s/4s. If you don't need the attack booster right then, then don't pick it up. The fine sword is actually less valuable than a row of charms... You should be GETINDAREing more stuff. See, if you had been taking hits from level 1s, you wouldn't be out of exploration. The biggest chests have the biggest rewards (at least in bronze). In Silver the level 5 chest is the key. And you picked the wrong chest. Except you dodged, so whatever. You can convert GETINDARE. That ruined everything. Now you can't one shot the box. What on earth are you doing? Just open the chest! You forgot the thief's stabber ability. This is dumb. You could have won awhile ago with feeling parched. This is why you CAN'T forget class traits. You could just CONVERT BUNRDAYRAZ and save the mana. This is ridiculously elaborate and unnecessary. Orc rogue is better than human rogue 99% of the time. This is a rather nice start. The level 10s in rogue bronze are basically Tomithy in a normal (or maybe even easy) dungeon. Your ENDISWALing is terrible. Seriously, beyond cross intersections (walls in 4 directions), you should only ENDISWAL T's (of course this is assuming you haven't already explored around it. You only ENDISWAL the nearest walls. It's strange to think some people don't even consider what is best when they ENDISWAL. It becomes so automatic once you do it enough. Curse cancels temporary resists (Stoneskin) too. Actually, you are totally wrong. You could kill the boss right now between your glyphs. THE BOSSES ARE RIDICULOUSLY WEAK. You can two-shot them! WHY DOES IT NOT OCCUR TO YOU THAT A BOSS CAN BE KILLED AT LEVEL 6? Well, that's a win. Seeing as you are about to kill yourself in some embarrassing method and have to redo it (just please look at the prediction screen). I'm pressed for time, so I am skipping the rerun.
KEY POINTS: Don't forget this should be Episode 21. You need to consider the walls you blow up, not just blow up the nearby ones.
Episode 21: Oh, this ought to be fun! I'm no pro with the acid caster, but I'll gives the tips I can. And there is your EM. Oh wow, a level 9 serpent. That is the ideal target for an acid caster. As an Acidcaster, you can basically IMAWAL all of your level 1-3s and then any level 7-9s which you don't want to kill. Also, when under EM, ALWAYS take one hit of Entanglement. Then you can use "brick exp" to level up and get 3 more fireballs on your target. While IMAWALing Plants saves popcorn, it nets less piety. If you can get both, that's even better. Honestly, if you want to learn how to play the spider temple, the wiki page on it is VERY helpful. MOAR PLANTS! Seriously, in future, brick all of your low level guys. Why not make it a mid-fight level up, or even better, don't level up yet! You dream to low. You can get the level 9. You could have saved the potion by exploring a tile and IMAWALing to get the 10 piety to clearance for the kill. Convoluted, but more efficient. This is a rather toned down acidcaster, but nice job regardless. SMM. Tough pick, but actually he is really weak vs corrosion. Ironically, the opposite of what you just said is true: The MORE health the better corrosion is for regen fighting (unless you are planning to dumbly spike him, in which case good luck). You could literally go kill him right now. What? You AREN'T regen fighting SMM? I admire your courage, sir, but this is just foolishness! Alrightm good. You are regen fighting him. Why would you have a problem regen fighting SMM? You really should just keep regen fighting SMM. I don't know why you won't. It's better to save the plantation for the second boss. You use potions as the most unnecessary times. You could have just regenerated 2 tiles. You're right. That was harder than it should have been, or needed to be. You need to remember than Stheno requires you to kill everything. Stheno is going to be an absolute joke. If you just kill everything you will ave so many blood stains plantation will be crazy. In case you didn't no this, if you have no resists, and don't want to use a Binlor altar, desecrate it. The punishment does nothing if you don't have resists. You are totally underestimating your power. If you IMAWAL a plant you can Plantation again. Dang, you could have gotten Hoarder if you used Clearance FTW. That was very inefficient potion use. Yes, Ick is unlocked by a subdungeon.
KEY POINTS: More Bricking as an acid caster. Use "brick exp" to get an early mid-fight level up kill. Think before you use a potion. Often there are many ways to avoid having to use the potion.
