Purist + Vicious Challenge!

[~'(^ + ^)'~]

I still think it would be hard. You normally only have 4 health potions, and with 25 blood pools (would even be less than this normally), that gives only 4 x 40 + 25 x 10 = 410% of your HP. This plus your initial setup probably can allow you to make 5 to 8 (?) hits and even at 65 damage (level 10 with 30% attack bonus), that's not going to add up to 636.

Have a go at maybe Southern Swamp or some open map, you will see what I mean,

[Ok, you also gain HP from your bloodcows, and if you can squeeze out more healing from them other than for tanking hits, like any surplus would also add up. And fireballs can do up to 100+ to slightly more than 200 damage, depending on your level. Though, I still think that it won't be easy]

@~'(^ + ^)'~ Yeah, as I mentioned in my previous post, "easily" wasn't the best choice of words. But perhaps doable at least.

Hooray! I can finally join the ranks of the masters! Nah, I am just happy that I managed to score a Vicious Dungeon victory today,



So, when I saw the PQI for Vicious Steel today, I had a strong feeling that I could do the Purist Vicious challenge using this character. I felt like it wouldn't hurt if I gave it a try, at most I will go try Demonic Library again when I feel more confident. And there, I just managed to get it done.

I must say that everything did fit in nicely, firstly all gods were helpful: Binlor for Knockback, Might and Pisorf and Magic Resists, EM for Damage Reduction, a bit of Corrosion, a few Clearances, and Mystera for Refreshment, a few shots of Magic, and Flames which I had to use in the end.

Then, there were good items that I found: Balanced Dagger, Gloves of Midas, Dragon Soul, and Crystal Ball. Finding Good Glenrick at level 4 was also useful. Then there were the glyphs: Wonafyt for easier leveling at the start, Alpheesik which allowed me to regen fight the Indomitable until my 5 Damage Reduction made him totally harmless, Bludtopowa for when I needed to squeeze out more mana just for the additional Pisorf, and Cydstepp which allowed me to put my health potions to good use (heal up so that I can cast Cydstepp and tank a hit from Count Blahblah, so I can put in 2 hits with extra Knockback damage). You don't see Weytwhut which I had converted off from the ground and with a Thief, there were 6 glyphs already + 1 more Pisorf from Binlor which meant I could get more mileage from Refreshment.

The Mass09 Banking sub was also useful for the extra blackspace and also for the ledger(scroll) which I used a few times to move Count Blahblah to a more favourable position (so that I can use Pisorf or Knockback to deal more damage to him).

Overall, I must say I have been super lucky for everything to come into place nicely,

I keep trying too, Though maybe I am not as persistent as you are, and you probably know the game much more deeply than most of us,

I am sure you can do DL with Elf Wizard with enough attempts. For me, I just feel like there's probably a "better" class for doing it, I still feel that a Bloodmage would be the best especially if you can get Dracul, and probably other gods before you end with Dracul.
