A 16-bit wizard who pretends to be an IT guy and blogger.
==Early Life and Career==
Before his birth, Darius Whiteplume's alter-ego played games like ''Temple of Apshai'', ''Hellfire Warrior'', and ''Telengard''. Once he moved from the Atari 800 to a PC he birthed Darius Whiteplume as a Magic-User from ''Eye of the Beholder'' who progressed to the two successive ''EOB'' editions before porting himself to pencil-and-paper ''Dungeons & Dragons'' as a wizard, transmuter, Harper, and general layabout.
==Life After Dungeons & Dragons==
Once Darius' D&D group broke up, he was no more. Fourth edition had been released and his creator just could not bring himself to attempt conversion. He did like the name though. In September 2008 Darius Whiteplume became born anew as a blogger and internet pseudonym; the force behind ''[http://adventuresinnerdliness.blogspot.com Adventures in Nerdliness]''. Today he is a tireless pain in the ass, creating some of Tumblr's most obscure and unnecessary blogs.
==Some Actual Information About the User==
I have played most editions of D&D, including a little Basic/Expert. Most time has been with 1st, 3rd, and 4th editions. As of this posting (2010-29-DEC) I play an 11th level dragonborn cleric/divine oracle of the Raven Queen.

Not a big computer/console gamer. No WoW. Play some Wii stuff like ''Mario Kart''. Don't really play other RPGs, though old ''Gamma World'' was fun, and the new edition sounds neat. Hate playing cards. Like playing some board games.
==Desktop Dungeons==
I am rather fond of [[Tikki Tooki]] because of the first strike and serpent's fang boons. [[Taurog]] is another favorite, though I find the '''Rage''' boon does not grant +50% damage, more like +40% (I have not done the math). My best win thus far was with a halfling berserker worshiping Taurog. I beat the library at level seven, doing 91 damage and holding 9 health potions. This earned the "cocky, aren't you" score after retiring. Least favorite god is [[The_Earthmother|The Earthmother]] as her boons seem to be of little help; this may be due to limited experience with the game. If there were some sort of "pass plant" glyph, perhaps she'd be more useful?

Dariuswhiteplume: /* WEYTWUT */

'''Glyphs''' are spells located throughout a dungeon that must first be picked up before they can be used. The explorer can only carry 3 glyphs by default unless their [[classes|class]] has a bonus (for instance the [[Wizard]] has 4 glyph slots). Glyphs can be converted into Attack Power, Health, Potions, etc by dropping them into the appropriate Conversion button [[File:Conversion.PNG]], the result of the conversion is based on their [[races|race]].

__TOC__

===Summary===

A glyph's name hints at the spell effect it performs. Some glyphs cost more mana than others to cast and not all are available from the start.

===Welcome===
Hey, just wanted to stop by and say welcome to the wiki. Also, great find on the Tikki Tooki piety info, makes him seem much more viable now.--[[User:Gentlegiant03|Gentlegiant03]] 19:05, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
===Thanks===
Yeah, the WEYTWUT + [[Tikki_Tooki|Tikki Tooki]] seems to be the glyphs only strength, save perhaps getting out of a box of high levels when you start :-) Without WEYTWUT he can be hard to build Piety with.--[[User:Dariuswhiteplume|Darius Whiteplume]]

Dariuswhiteplume: /* Gaining Piety */ WEYTWUT and Goblin poisoning added.

'''Tikki Tooki''', the God of Mischief and master of deception, is one of the gods available for worshipping in Desktop Dungeon. Tikki Tooki may be worshipped by locating his altar in a dungeon (if it appears).

==Initial Worship==

If an altar of Tikki Tooki is found in the dungeon, and the hero is not yet worshipping any other god, it is possible to pray to Tikki Tooki.

===Worship Fee===

Unlike other gods, Tikki Tooki demands that you pay a one-time fee for joining his religion. This is paid in Gold, and the amount to be paid depends on how much Gold your character is carrying at the moment he tries to join this religion:

* If your hero has '''less than 10 Gold''', he '''cannot join''' Tikki Tooki's religion.
* If your hero has '''10 Gold or more''', he must pay '''50% of his total carried Gold''' to join Tikki Tooki's religion.

This fee is charged only when joining the religion, not for any subsequent boons. However, if Tikki Tooki is renounced in any way, rejoining his religion will incur another fee, recalculated based on the hero's new amount of Gold when trying to rejoin.

===Immediate effect===

When first worshipping Tikki Tooki, the following effect occurs:
* Tikki Tooki will award you a number of Piety points equal to 50% of your remaining Gold.
** The amount of Piety earned from joining Tikki Tooki is equal to 1/2 of the amount of Gold you have remaining after paying Tooki's one-time worship fee (see above), rounded down.

===Conversion===

Followers of [[The Pactmaker]] may convert their religion to Tikki Tooki at the cost of piety. The hero will keep any bonuses or penalties bestowed upon him by The Pactmaker, but will not trigger Tikki Tooki's immediate effects as described above. You may convert by visiting Tikki Tooki's altar and asking to convert:

* Conversion from The Pactmaker costs 60 piety.

It also is possible to convert your religion from Tikki Tooki to Mystera Annur, by locating her altar and asking for it. Your hero will keep any bonuses or penalties bestowed by Tikki Tooki.

* Conversion to The Mystera Annur costs 60 piety.

==Religion==

Tikki Tooki revels in finesse and trickery during combat. Character Classes that can defeat enemies swiftly or avoid Combat Damage altogether are favored. Tikki Tooki dislikes prolonged fights.

The following actions will only change your Piety while worshipping Tikki Tooki. If you have not yet converted to Tikki Tooki yet, or have converted to another god or renounced your religion, you may perform these actions without triggering the listed effects.

===Gaining Piety===

Tikki Tooki will increase your Piety for performing the following actions:

* '''Kill a monster without taking any damage''': +4 Piety.
** While worshipping Tikki Tooki, any monster you kill that has not caused your hero any damage will incur a reward of +4 Piety points from Tikki.
** This applies to combat done entirely with Glyphs ([[BURNDAYRAZ]]) and the use of First Strike (through [[GETINDARE]], fighting lower-level monsters or any other means).
** ''Research info required: What about fighting monsters that cause too little damage to get through your Resistances?
** ''Research info required: it does not appear that Tikki Tooki grants piety for slaying goblins, regardless of degree of success. Poisoning Goblins does seem to grant +1 Piety points.''
* '''Dodge an attack that would otherwise deal ???% of your health''': +5 Piety.
** Tikki will favor you with 5 Piety if you successfully dodge an attack that would otherwise damage ???% of your health.
** Dodging is enabled by default for some Character Classes, and can also be acquired through Tikki's boons, bestowed by items, etc.
** ''Research info required: how high must the percentage of damage be? Is there a minimum amount of damage? Is it based on Maximum or Current health?''
* '''Poisoning an enemy''': +1 Piety.
** Each use of the the [[Glyphs#APHEELSIK|APHEELSIK]] glyph, or any Melee attack you make with the "Poison Blade" [[Items|item]] or ''Poison'' boon gained by Tikki Tooki himself, will grant you +1 Piety.
** ''Research info required: What happens when you cast APHEELSIK on the Undead? Is this a possible exploit to gain lots of Piety from Tooki?''
* '''Use the [[Glyphs#PISORF|PISORF]] glyph on an enemy''': +1 Piety
** Each time you cast the PISORF glyph on an enemy, Tikki will give you +1 Piety point.
* '''Use the [[Glyphs#WEYTWUT|WEYTWUT]] glyph''': +10 Piety
** Each time you cast the WEYTWUT glyph, Tikki Tooki will give you +10 Piety points.

===Losing Piety===

Tikki Tooki will decrease your Piety for performing the following action:

* '''Being struck more than once by the same monster''': -1 Piety.
** For each blow suffered beyond the first from the ''same monster'', Tikki Tooki will decrease your Piety by -1.
** This occurs whenever the same monster has hit you more than once during the same game, regardless of how much time passed or how much combat has occured between the two hits.
** Any subsequent hits beyond the first two suffered from the same monster will incur the same penalty.
** ''Research info required: Does this also occur when the monster does no damage to you (thanks to Resistances, etc.)?''

===Retribution===

Should you fall below 0 Piety, Tikki Tooki will 'decide to make your life difficult'.
* ''Research Info required: No visible effect is seen from this retribution despite the text. Please confirm this is the case.''

==Boons==
Tikki Tooki has 4 boons to offer to his worshipers at the cost of Piety. These boons are aimed at enhancing combat efficiency and the coin in your purse.

===Dodging===
* Increase Dodge by +10%.
* '''Costs 15 Piety'''.
** On acquiring this boon, Tikki Tooki will instantly increase your ability to dodge by 10%.
** This effect is ''cumulative'', and will stack with any existing Dodge bonuses from class abilities or items. For example, if your character had 10% Dodge ability before acquiring this boon, he will now have 20% Dodge.
** When your character has the ability to Dodge, there is an X% chance that any Melee attack by a monster will miss completely, causing no damage.
** If a blow from a monster is dodged, this will cause Tikki Tooki to increase your Piety (see above).
===Gold===
* Gain +40 Gold.
* '''Costs 30 Piety'''.
** Upon acquiring this boon the hero is given 40 gold.
** Remember that your total amount of Gold can never exceed the current Maximum Gold level.
===Poison===
* Gain a permanent Poison Attack ability.
* '''Costs 60 Piety'''.
** Once this boon has been acquired, the hero will gain the Poison Attack ability permanently.
** With Poison Attacks, each Melee attack you make on an enemy will poison it, similar to the monster Poison Attack ability and the APHEELSIK Glyph.
** Unlike APHEELSIK, using this ability costs no Mana and won't take up a Glyph slot. However, it comes at the cost of a large amount of Piety, and requires you to make Melee attacks against monsters (and thus risk taking damage, which may cause you to anger Tikki Tooki - see above).
** This is the same exact effect that can be acquired by buying the "Poison Blade" item from a shop.
===First Strike===
* Gain a permanent First Strike ability.
* '''Costs 80 Piety'''.
** Once this boon has been acquired, the hero will gain the First Strike ability permanently.
** First Strike allows your hero to kill monsters without taking any damage, whenever a single strike can bring the monster's Health to 0.
** This effect is exactly the same as the permanent First Strike ability that some Character Classes have by default. It is also the same as the First Strike effect bestowed by the "Dancing Sword" item from a shop.

==Strategy==

Tikki Tooki can be a gamble to worship. When attacking higher level monsters with only melee it may not be possible to end the battle with one strike. Luckily Tikki does not mind magic usage so complementing a hit with a fireball is viable. Having the dodge ability before worshiping is a good idea and enhancing it with the Dodging boon should be a top priority (especially if First Strike or Poison are already acquired).

The Gold boon may be useful for cashing out unused Piety in a failed, or perhaps even a completed, dungeon. Using the boon to increase your coffers when a very useful item is stocked can be beneficial but the initial cost of worshiping negates this slightly. Lastly, it may also be a good choice for gold farming, poisoning or casting PISORF as often as possible while gathering gold.

Alpha:Tikki Tooki

Dariuswhiteplume: /* Gaining Piety */ information about piety from slaying goblins. I have yet to see any piety gain, even when I take no damage.
