== The Monster ==

The '''Goat''' is one of the less threatening [[monsters]] in the dungeon, and any character who specializes in melee damage can destroy them with great ease. They are commonly referred to as "murder bait" and it's often possible to attack and kill goats three or even four levels above yourself. This makes them one of the best sources of bonus XP that you can find in a dungeon.

The best approach to killing a goat is to use temporary buffs such as {{s|CYDSTEPP}} or {{s|ENDISWAL}} to withstand a few extra attacks. Due to their low HP, goats simply cannot survive repeated attacks without a chance to heal and will quickly fall to a well-prepared onslaught. Spellcasters may have a more difficult time due to the goat's magic resistance.

Because of their magic resistance, poison from the {{S|APHEELSIK}} glyph is unreliable. However, their resistance is not particularly high so poison still has fairly good probability of working. If you cannot kill a high-level goat by other means and you only need one or two more attacks to pull off the kill, then this can be a very worthwhile gamble.

== The Boss ==

The goat boss, '''Bleaty''', has very high attack and low health. On some of the more difficult scenarios where monsters have boosted stats, Bleaty nearly reaches 300 points of damage. This makes survival even a single attack exceedingly difficult. In addition, Bleaty has 50% magic resistance, so {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} is less effective against him - though it is still often the best way to deal with an unexpected Bleaty. To defeat this boss, you will need to prey on his low hit points or else find some way to survive his damage.

The best way to fight Bleaty is by worshipping {{g|Binlor Ironshield}}. Virtually all of Binlor's boons are valuable for your battle against Bleaty. Since he can grant you temporary 65% physical resists, a character with sufficient hit points can survive the goat quite easily. He can also reduce Bleaty's magic resist to leave him vulnerable to conventional spellcasting. His {{boon|Stone Form}} and {{boon|Stone Fist}} boons both improve the potency of your physical attack, allowing you to finish the battle more quickly.

Other methods of surviving Bleaty include {{t|Death Protection}}, overheal effect from {{t|Life steal}}, or any form of {{t|Physical resist}}. Another method is to use the {{s|PISORF}} glyph, which deals physical damage and is unaffected by Bleaty's magic resistance.

{{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} is also a viable way to deal with Bleaty. He has 50% Magic Resist, but also his health is only 50% of what you'd expect a standard boss to have, so in effect you will need as many fireballs to kill him as you'd need for a generic boss. Even a character with no boost to spellcasting power can use a combination of mid-fight level-ups and mana potions to deal enough Fireball damage to Bleaty.

Jamberine,
I disagree with this edit:

"Dragon Shield is a better prep in the long run though, because the 3rd part is all about being able to take a hit from the bosses."

It's quite fine to highlight that Dragon Shield is a good prep (even though it usually is, so there's not a lot of news there), but I wouldn't say that it's better. It's different; you pretty much have to lug it around for two maps without benefiting from it in any meaningful way, just to enjoy its benefit during the 3rd map. Whereas the Fake Beard helps you immensely in both first maps. I've personally found the second map to be the toughest, and I never had much difficulty with the other two maps.

I think everyone can pick their own preps, the reason we listed the Fake Beard is because it's normally not a very lucrative prep, but in this specific triple quest it's surprisingly good. [[User:Tinker|Tinker]] ([[User talk:Tinker|talk]]) 20:32, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Naga City

[[File:Naga_City.png|right|450px]]
''Tetl-Temasss is the ancient, impregnable home city of the mighty Naga Empire. Breaking into it is one level of madness. Seeking to slay Prince Kinissch is whole extra level of crazy.''
 

== Overview ==
'''Monsters:''' {{m|Dragon Spawn}}s, {{m|Goo Blob}}s, {{m|Naga}}s, {{m|Serpent}}s, {{m|Warlock}}s, {{m|Acid Blob}}s, {{m|Burn Viper}}s, {{m|Vampire}}s. Monster difficulty is 150% on the main map, and 120% in the arena.

'''Boss:''' ''Nine'' of the regular bosses (all but Bleaty, Firstborn and Medusa), plus Kinissssch (HP 475, ATK 90, Magic Resist 50%, Magical Attack, Corrosive, Death Protection (5), becomes cowardly at 50%)

== Special Rules ==

No altars spawn in the first area unless prepared.

A Hooded Figure will be somewhere in the map. Talk to them to take a one-way trip to the Arena.

The arena has 2 main areas: The Prayer Room and The Arena. The Prayer Room has every altar, each unlockable for 20 gold, except the Pactmaker, who is free.

The arena has three shops which, unlike the rest of the arena, do not respawn each wave. They hold a keg of mana, a keg of health and The Amulet of Yendor. In each of the four corners a monster is spawned. One is level one, one is level three, one is level five, and one is level seven, and they are automatically bloodless.

In the Arena, you will face nine bosses in waves of three. The nine consist of Lord Gobb, Frank the Zombie, Tomithy Longdall, Super Meat Man, Jörmungadnr, Aequitas, The Iron Man, The Tormented One, and The Tower of Goo. After each wave the blackspace in the arena is replenished, (but not the walls of the arena or the prayer zone), and a new wave of bosses and corner monsters will spawn (corner monsters spawn in different locations from previous waves, so you can build them up over multiple waves).

After you defeat the third wave, the blackspace is replenished and Kinisssch shows up on the battlefield, spawning no corner monsters.

== Strategy ==

Naga City is considered to be the most difficult of the directional Vicious dungeons (with only Vicious Gaan-Telet surpassing it). The monsters are tough; there are many bosses, each with different abilities, so each character will have difficulty facing at least one of them; and more importantly, the arena is separated from the main map, and it is impossible to return after descent. As difficult as the main map might seem, the real challenge is the arena, and the top part should be viewed as a preparation area designed to equip the player with the resources needed to beat the Arena. Some things to consider:
* Do not use any expendable resources (like Potions) on the main map. Save everything you can for the Arena.
* Take/buy everything you will need from the main map. Convert everything you cannot take to the Arena due to inventory limitations.
* There is by default no Altar on the main map. If you want to build up some Piety and grab some early boons, you must play a Crusader or use a Church preparation.
* You want to squeeze everything you can from the main map. The only exception to this is Experience; most characters benefit from descending just a few XP shy of a level-up, to be able to use the level-up refill during the first boss-fight. That said, a minimum level of 8-9 is recommended, because for a lower level character, defeating the first bosses could take too many resources.

Preparations:
* Most melee builds will want to build resistances. Unlike in Vicious Gaan-Telet, in Naga City it is not mandatory to do so, the map can be won without resistances; however, it is significantly easier with them. Consider the {{i|Dragon Shield}} preparation for melee builds, or the {{i|Crystal Ball}} for spell-casting builds.
* Choosing a Church preparation can be very beneficial, as the map has no default altars. Generally the best starting deities are {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}}, {{g|Mystera Annur}} or {{g|Binlor Ironshield}}. Since the Arena has all altars, you can count on having a guaranteed altar conversion if needed.
* For the Potion Kit it is strongly recommended to take a {{i|Can of Whupaz}}. This is also valid for pure spellcaster builds. The Super Meat Man has a lot of hit points, reducing that with the Whupaz still leaves a lot to be plowed through. {{i|Schadenfreude Potion}} is also a good pick for most builds.
* If you do not worship Binlor, preparing the {{i|Bear Mace}} might be a good idea to increase the odds of finding the secret subdungeon. It is usually worth it just for this purpose, even if you will convert it off immediately afterwards.

=== Builds ===

'''Recommended Races''': Any except {{r|Goblin}}. The dungeon is long and experience is plentiful, including options for additional experience to trigger level-up catapults; this makes the Goblin's bonus largely useless here. As a lot of fighting will happen at L10, the {{r|Human}} is slightly better than the {{r|Orc}} for purely melee builds (though the Orc can still be better for builds relying heavily on knockback damage). {{r|Gnome}} or {{r|Elf}} can work equally well, as there are additional Mana Potions available in the Arena. The same goes for {{r|Dwarf}} or {{r|Halfling}}.

'''Recommended Classes''' 
The {{c|Wizard}} does not suffer from the inventory constraints as much as other classes, making it probably the best class for a spell-casting approach. Sample build: {{ElWi}} of Mystera. Alternatively try the Gnome Sorcerer of Mystera. 
The {{c|Monk}} has high physical resistance and is able to efficiently regenerate in the limited blackspace available in the Arena. Sample build: {{OrMo}} of Binlor. Alternatively try the Orc Paladin of Binlor.

(todo: summarize the important points of [[Annotated Playthrough Naga City]] and [[Anyone Can Win Vicious Part 1: Naga City]] here)

Regen-fighting is the word here. Poison is useful, as are mid-battle level-ups using the corner enemies. The piece de résistance in the boss gauntlet is usually the Tower of Goo and its 75% physical resistance: you'll need to either save a lot of mana for this battle, or bring a lot of resistance erosion to it. If it's not him it'll be Frank the Zombie, who has high stats and is immune to poison. For pure caster builds it's The Iron Man with his 75% magic resistance.

{{boon|Tribute}} and {{boon|Tikki's Edge}} - Level up fast with catapult tricks. Worship {{g|Tikki Tooki}} in the clean up phase to get poison, then convert to {{g|Mystera Annur}} for the Arena. Use poison to kill all of the bosses without special strategies and follow directions for the ones that do. Convert to the {{g|Glowing Guardian}} or {{g|Dracul}} for extra HP and/or mana after you run out of potions.

{{OrRo}}/{{g|Glowing Guardian}} - Prepare Glowing Guardian, attack bonus increasers, Patches, and an item that either provides high attack bonus or high conversion rate. Buy and convert all possible items you won't use later (using bonus potions to get an early level catapult), use {{boon|Absolution}} ~5 times for some bonus HP. The objective is to get base damage to achievement levels (150+); this makes poisonless regen-fighting a doable strategy.

{{c|Half-Dragon}} - After enough item conversions, the half-dragon can do even more damage per strike than an orc rogue, without HP difficulties, and easily kills bosses with physical or magic resistance. Hit the bosses into each other, or into other enemies; try to hit low damage bosses into high-damage ones to get a head start. Prep the Dragon Shield and do anything that raises resists or base damage, and convert everything you don't need. Prep Binlor (for piety farming, knockback bonus and a bit of magic resist), Dracul (for {{boon|Blood Shield}} mostly, though all of his boons will do you a bit of good), or {{g|Taurog}} (for resists and piety farming); if you don't worship {{g|Dracul}} switch to him in the arena for {{boon|Blood Shield}}.

{{c|Gorgon}} - You have to beat the level 3 times to unlock the gorgon, but her incredible ability at regen-fighting makes her extremely suited to beating it again. Worship Binlor while leveling up to farm piety and magic resist, and switch to Dracul in the arena for even more resists.

Tinker: /* Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 [[gold]] piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

|The Adventurer's Cookbook
Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

|Horrible Fates: A Cautionary Almanac for Adventurers

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

HORRIBLENESS: 8/10 - not as bad as being afflicted with CONSTANT GOATS (see pg 34)

LIKELIHOOD: 1/10 - getting killed by such a spirit is always possible, but it's believed that no living being today remembers the ritual to create new ones.

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Subdungeons

2016-05-31T18:23:55Z

Tinker: /* Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 [[gold]] piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Tinker:

{{Stub}}
Your race determines the bonus you get for converting items. Making the most of this bonus makes a huge difference. Veteran players will often consider Race to be more important than Class or Religion when building a Desktop Dungeons character. Learning what - and when - to convert is also very important.

There are two types of Races: regular races and monster races. Regular characters are created by picking a combination of a class and a race; Monster characters on the other hand do not get to pick a class, and have both their class and race abilities determined by the Monster Class they pick.

== Regular Races ==

There are seven playable regular races, each of which can convert [[Items]] and [[Glyphs]] into a different permanent bonus.

{{:Orc|tpl=RaceSummaryRow}}
{{:Goblin|tpl=RaceSummaryRow}}
|}

† Stacking means the first conversion adds +1, the second adds +2, the third adds +3 and so on.

== Monster Races ==

There are five playable Monster races. They function both as a class and a race; they determine class perks as well as conversions bonuses.

== Amount of conversion points ==
In a regular dungeon, there usually are :
* 5 glyphs (100 pts each),
* 6 potions (10 pts each),
* 4-8 shops (on average 30 pts each ?) (number of shops depends on the level of your [[Bazaar]])
* and one potion shop (10 pts).
Add to this what you bring with you (lets say, between 20 and 150 conversion points). So, if you were to convert everything, you would get between 710 and 1000 points.

I purposefully wrote him like this because It's my firm belief that getting confused by the Fighter in many ways is what discourages folks from the game and misleads them in various ways. A bunch of us vets took forever to work him out, me included, and I thought if anyone ever goes looking a class up Fighter's highly likely gonna be the class.

And once you figure out the fighter you're off to the races, so it looks the way it looks currently, and I hope it can stay that way (or similar enough to it). It answers a million questions folks always keep asking and also a few noone ever asks because they all make a wrong assumption about it. And I tink I stayed well within the borders of good taste. I don't mean to poke or prod anyone at all, the Fighter confusing people was and is a huge issue with the game (one of the few actual issues with it) and this sort of thing might help with that.

It's the only class I mean to go this wordy on, because it's the one that confuses people the most and the point of having a fighter page on the wiki at all isn't just to teach folks "to even fighter", but to dispell the results of compromises that had to be made with him being an introductory class and all that jazz.

Again, please, if you have admin capability please PM me rather than start a public ruckus about things, I can be quite reasonable if I'm not panicking, and I'm trying to help folks out here. If any wiki page can use a bit of levity, humor and self-depreciation it's the Fighter one - Lujo

The actual page, below is a work in progress, ofc, feel free to comment. In paricular about suggested gods for the Gnome and Elf fighters, respectivelly. I played them a long time ago, the PQI fed me other guys on the last playthrough. - Lujo

PQI only gives Elf and Orc Fighters, so no Gnomes that way. Fighter is a fairly non-intrusive class, it's best to just pick an altar that goes well with your race. I normally play Gnome Fighters with Mystera (JJ can also work). I normally play Elf Fighters with Earthmother or Mystera (or just see what comes along, Elf Fighter can cope with anything including GG, JJ, Binlor, even Taurog).

Vicious Gaan-Telet

Tinker: /* Exotic Monsters and Items */

[[File:Vicious Gaan-Telet Big.png|left]]
[[File:Gaan-talet.JPG|right|450px]]
''Even when the old northern desert empire still existed, this structure was considered both ancient and unassailable. Tackling a souped-up version of the tower is nothing short of madness. Dungeon veterans, give this one your best shot.''
 

Vicious Gaan-Talet is the ultimate dungeon in Desktop Dungeons. It is a souped-up version of the [[Tower of Gaan-Telet]], and is unlocked by completing the [[#Oh, Horatio!|Oh, Horatio!]] quest.

== Overview ==

The exterior of Gaan-Talet contains the shops, glyphs, and boosters of a normal dungeon. There are no altars (on the outside), and there is no normal subdungeon, although the Smuggler's Den will appear if you prep it. Ordinary monsters from level 1-7 appear on the outside; there are no level 8+ monsters or bosses on the outside. The inside of the tower begins revealed.

To complete Gaan-Talet, you must enter a series of special subdungeons inside the tower. Once all enemies in each level are defeated, the next becomes available.

=== Monsters ===

The dungeon will host all unlocked basic monsters (as well as some special monsters, see below). Monster difficulty on the courtyard (main map) is 100%.

The towers get progressively more difficult, each having a cumulative +10% difficulty. i.e. first tower is +10%, second is +20%, all the way to +90% in tower 9 of Vicious Gaan-Telet.

If you prepare the Vicious Token, it will overwrite all of these monster stat bonuses with the usual +60% Attack / +100% Health, making the courtyard and the earlier towers significantly more difficult; but later towers not necessarily so. Horatio only gets the attack boost, his health remains unaltered even with the Vicious Token.

=== Boss ===

The final boss is the {{m|Goat}}-shaped '''Horatio the Immortal'''. Despite his form, he does a relatively modest 75 damage; however, he has 5000 HP, Physical and Magical restances of 50%, and Berserks at 50%.

== Special Rules ==

The stairs to the first tower subdungeon are accessible from the start. However, in order for the stairs of the next tower to be revealed, all five monsters must be defeated in the previous tower.

Each of the nine altars are accessible once the stairs to its respective tower is revealed. Any altars prepared (or granted by the Martyr ability) appear in the courtyard as an extra copy of the given altar. Furthermore, a special copy of the currently worshipped altar spawns close to the tower entrance. So it is possible to have up to three copies of the same altar. Any deities not yet unlocked will not spawn an altar (their tower will still show up, just without the altar).

=== Subdungeons ===

Unlike the Hard version of the dungeon, the Vicious version has all 9 towers; and each must be cleared to access the tenth tower where Horatio resides.

Each subdungeon is a small level, initially unexplored, containing several tough monsters (one of which is exotic), an altar, and a exotic, useful item. This means that every unlocked altar will eventually be available. To make life even harder, most levels will give you some kind of penalty when you first enter. (A few, including the first, do not.) You can travel freely between the current subdungeon, previous subdungeons, and the exterior.

The first, second, and third subdungeons contain monsters of level 8, 9, and 10, respectively. The 10th level monsters are not bosses, simply scaled-up monsters (for instance, the 10th level Goo Blob has Physical Resistance of only 50%, not 75%). Subdungeons 4-9 also have 10th-level monsters; on each level, the monsters get a progressively larger Health and Attack bonus.

The monsters in the subdungeons are - similarly to bosses - immune to the instant kill effects of Slayer Wand, IMAWAL or the Glowing Guardan's Absolution boon.

=== Penalties ===

These will occur in a random order when you first enter each subdungeon.

*The subdungeon is completely revealed when you enter, providing no exploration healing.
*All monsters in this subdungeon gain {{t|No Experience}}.
*All monsters in this subdungeon gain {{t|Bloodless}} (Lifesteal doesn't work, and they don't leave a blood pool.)
*All monsters in this subdungeon gain {{t|First Strike}}.
*All monsters in this subdungeon gain {{t|Retaliate: Fireball}}.
*You are afflicted with {{t|Poisoned}}, {{t|Mana Burned}} and one stack each of {{t|Weakened}} and {{t|Corrosion}}.
*You gain three stacks of {{t|Cursed}}.

There are also (up to) three subdungeons that do not give any penalty. So there are a possible 10 penalty events (the 7 penalties and 3 no penalty results), and one is chosen for each tower. Which means that in a lucky case, one of the penalties listed above will not be encountered. The first subdungeon will always have a "no penalty" event.

=== Exotic Monsters and Items ===

Again, these will occur in a random order; however, the monsters and items are linked.

*{{m|Goblin Miner}} (Knockback, Mana burn) with 2 Wall Crushers. The Wall Crushers may be used to break edge walls to give access to 1-2 extra tiles, or may be converted for 25 CP each.
*{{m|Dancing Blade}} (1 Death Protection/level, Blink) with the sword "Penance". Penance grants 2 base attack and 1 base mana, but grants a penalty of 1 base attack and mana if you convert it from inventory. Converting right from the ground does not induce the penalty.
*{{m|Burn Viper}} (Blink, Mana burn) with a Cracked Amulet (when consumed, 5 XP).
*{{m|Golden Statue}} (1 damage only, but has No XP, a lot of hit points, Weakening Blow, and Corrodes) with the Long Rant (when consumed, afflicts 3 stacks of Corroded on all enemies on the level).
*{{m|Gelatinous Thing}} (Retaliate: Fireball) with Nom Nom (when consumed, poisons you but acts as a health booster).
*{{m|Bridge Troll}} (50% Physical and Magic Resist, Fast Regen, Berserk at 50%) with a Sensation Stone (convert for 150 CP). The Bridge Troll is one of the more difficult monsters, but it drops a second Sensation Stone, making this a mixed blessing level.
*{{m|Dragon Elite}} (50% Magic Resist, Poisonous, Curse Bearer) with a Compression Seal
*{{m|Illusion}} (50% Physical Resist, Weakening Blow, Retaliate: Fireball) with the Ritual Scroll (when consumed, +1 Mana and +5% Physical and Magic Resist, but 3 stacks of Cursed).
*{{m|Immortal Yin}} (no XP) with Yang's Sword (small, +3 damage, consume for a level of Death Protection). This is one of the best pairings to find, because Yin is not difficult and the item is small provides a good power boost.

== Strategy ==

Although Vicious Gaan-Telet is similar to its hard version, it requires a unique strategy. Vicious Gaan-Telet has a number of challanges unique to this map, and a successful strategy will have an answer to all of these: 
* There is a shortage of blackspace. An average tower will have maybe 40 black tiles, and require you to defeat five very tough monsters. 
* The monsters in later towers can deal very high damage. For example, a tower 9 Warlock will deal 192 damage. 
* You will be afflicted several times with {{t|Poisoned}}, {{t|Mana Burned}}, {{t|Weakened}}, {{t|Corrosion}} and {{t|Cursed}}. 
* The final boss is very durable - without bypassing its 50% resistances, it takes 10 000 points of damage to kill it. 

So all things considered, Vicious Gaan-Telet is an endurance run that requires you to be able to defeat lots of very tough monsters with very limited resrouces and several malicious afflictions. So most successful builds will have high {{t|physical resist}}; {{t|sanguine}}; and high damage.

=== Race ===

The recommended races are {{r|Human}} or {{r|Orc}}. These races allow you to boost your damage, which is essential to reducing the number of hits you need to take from monsters. {{r|Dwarves}} can also work for some builds, though are generally more difficult to play. Unfortunately the other races don't have much to offer in this endurance environment.

=== Class ===

The easiest class to beat Vicious Gaan-Telet with is the {{c|Vampire}}. Other good picks include the {{c|Crusader}} who can ignore a lot of the malicious afflictions; and the {{c|Rogue}} whose {{t|Dodge}} and {{t|First Strike}} trait make her surprisingly efficient in melee.

=== Worship ===

The best deities to worship in Vicious Gaan-Telet are: 
*{{g|Taurog}} is a surprisingly good initial deity, because his boons can provide both resistances and bonus damage. 
*{{g|Glowing Guardian}} offers bonus damage and health through Humility (and is often worth converting through just for that one boon); though he also offers Cleansing and Protection, a few shots of which can help a lot in dealing with mana burn / poison and giving a little extra help for a level-up. 
*{{g|Dracul}} is arguably the single best deity for Vicious Gaan-Telet, offering both Sanguine and resistances. While his quirkiness makes him better to convert into late-game to reap his many benefits, he is the most critical of the deities. 
*{{g|The Pactmaker}} offers {{boon|Body Pact}} to round up resistances as needed, though it is more expensive than either Tarog's or Dracul's boons. Only get it when you will not lose much Piety on it (resistances are capped). 

A successful VGT run can easily use all four of these deities (for example, starting in {{g|Taurog}} for his resistance/damage boosts; then tripping through {{g|Glowing Guardian}} for Humility; then ending up in Dracul for {{boon|Blood Shield}} and {{boon|Blood Tithe}}; and taking {{boon|Body Pact}} when needed for extra resists).

An honorable mentions is {{g|Binlor Ironshield}}, who can function as a generous source of piety, and can therefore be used in conjunction with the {{g|The Pactmaker}} to build a high level of resistances. This is the recommended approach for the {{c|Rat Monarch}}, who finds it difficult to keep a lot of resistance-increasing items in their inventory.

=== Shop Items ===

Some items to keep an eye out for in Vicious Gaan-Telet: 
*{{i|Soul Orb}} is really useful to avoid Mana Burn. 
*{{i|Viper Ward}} is only needed if you don't have HALPMEH. But in that case it can be very useful. 
*{{i|Tower Shield}} can give much-coveted physical resistance, and can help get close to the resist cap. 
*{{i|Platemail}} is a good item to increase durability, though bear in mind that damage reduction happens before resistances are considered. 
*{{i|Vampiric Blade}} gives you a layer of Lifesteal without having to sacrafice maximum resistances. 
*{{i|Martyr Wraps}} helps immensely with the boss fight. 
*{{i|Stone Sigil}} can give a steady piety flow thanks to the large number of monsters available. 
*{{i|Troll Heart}}, if purchased early, can give a bit of extra help, and then a bit of extra CP when converted at L10. 
*{{i|Gloves of Midas}} can help earn more gold to purchase more conversion fodder. 
*{{i|Dragon Soul}} extends the amount of spells the character can cast. 
*Anything that increases damage - like the {{i|Fine Sword}}, {{i|Hero's Helm}} or the {{i|Badge of Honour}} - is worth a consideration. 

Other than these, items that give a good conversion value can become useful purchases.

=== Preparations ===

'''Alchemist''' 
*{{i|Compression Seal}} is recommended as inventory space can become very tight. 

'''Bazaar''' 
*The extra Apothecaries preparation is a prudent safeguard against the many afflictions of VGT. 
*Quest Items may be worth it for some builds as most of the items that are really good for VGT belong to this group. 

'''Blacksmith''' 
*{{i|Perseverance Badge}} gives damage bonus for a small slot item, and is arguably the best blacksmith preparation for VGT. 
*{{i|Bear Mace}} takes up more space and its use is more conditional, however the damage bonus it gives is also greater. 
*{{i|Really Big Sword}} is a reliable way to pierce Horatio's resistances, however not all builds can afford the drawback of having slow strike.

'''Church''' 
*{{g|Taurog}} is a good starting deity for most general strategies. 
*{{g|Glowing Guardian}} is a good alternative for more glyph-dependent builds, especially those that start with high resists.
*{{g|The Earthmother}} can be worth in some cases because preparing her altar means two separate altars will be present on the map, and both can be desecrated. 

'''Guild''' 
*{{i|Dragon Shield}} is the most commonly used preparation thanks to the huge resistance bonus it gives. 
*{{i|Platemail}} is a good alternative for those builds who don't mind having slow strike. 
*{{i|Draining Blade}} is an interesting choice; although it requires an immediate corrosion clear, it leaves open the possibility of finding a Vampiric Blade, which together give the character two levels of Lifesteal without having to compromise on resistances. 

'''Mage Tower''' 
*Extra Attack Boosters is almost always the best preparation. Some specific builds may benefit from one of the other two boosters, though. 

'''Thieves Guild''' 
*{{i|Patches}} introduces a degree of randomness that is not welcome, however the benefits it gives can be huge, so most runs will risk taking him. 
*An alternative can be Black Market, given how money can buy at least more conversion points. 
*Builds relying heavily on blackspace may benefit from Smuggler Den instead. 

'''Witch''' 
*{{i|Burn Salve}} and {{i|Fortitude Tonic}} are very useful given the amount of afflictions present in VGT. 
*{{i|Can of Whupaz}} shortens the boss fight considerably. 
*{{i|Schadenfreude Potion}} will almost always be useful, though the basic Health and Mana potions should also not be underestimated for their ability to clear Poison/Mana Burn. 

=== Glyphs ===

Most glyphs will end up being converted thanks to the shortage of inventory space, and the need for extra damage. There are some glyphs that can be very useful, though, and picking the right glyphs to keep can mean the difference between victory and defeat. 
*{{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} is an effective way to round up damage and finish a monster; and it is especially useful against the Dancing Blade. It is recommended to keep it at least until that monster is defeated. 
*{{s|HALPMEH}} greatly extends melee potential, and can also cure Poison. One of the best glyphs to keep until converting into Dracul. 
*{{s|GETINDARE}} is a really effective way to finish monsters, and is a great way to conserve resources. Excellent glyph. 
*{{s|BYSSEPS}} is not very useful during most of the run, but can be very effective in stripping Horatio's resistances. It is often worthwhile to keep it on the floor, and pick it up for the boss fight. 
*{{s|CYDSTEPP}} is a bit expensive, but can be very useful to land a killing blow. 
*{{s|WONAFYT}} is a bit counterintuitive, but especially on the bigger tower maps it can be a good way to conserve blackspace. 
Most other glyphs can be converted on sight. Keep in mind though that different characters may also find some other glyphs useful. Builds relying heavily on Knockback would benefit from keeping {{s|WEYTWUT}}; builds that require lots of blackspace could access a few extra tiles with {{s|LEMMISI}}; etc.

Subdungeons

2016-03-08T21:10:38Z

Tinker: /* Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 [[gold]] piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

|The Adventurer's Cookbook
Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

D.E.R.P.

2016-02-21T15:53:20Z

Tinker: fixed D.E.R.P. name and added link to streakbuilding page

[[File:DERP_Selection.png|right|600px]]
The '''Daily Expeditition Re-enactment Program''' is a daily challenge complete with score metrics. It was introduced with the Enhanced Edition (beta testing began 10th March 2015, official release date 20th April 2015). The daily challenge resets at Midnight GMT.

You may also want to take a look at the related new [[D.E.R.P. Streakbuilding]] page.

== Accessing the D.E.R.P. ==

The D.E.R.P. becomes accessible by unlocking the [[Audit Zeppelin]] in a Kingdom. After the Audit Zeppelin is unlocked, it shows individual statistics, as well as allows access to the daily D.E.R.P. challenges and to the Leaderboard. The D.E.R.P. can also be accessed from the main splash screen without loading any of the kingdoms; any gold award received for completing the daily challenge will be added to the most recently played Kingdom's treasury. The daily challenge resets at midnight GMT, and although runs may be attempted even just before the cut-over, any run not finished and reported before midnight will mess up the results for the given day. Each D.E.R.P. can only be attempted once, and the game communicates with the Daily Servers when the daily is started; and when the daily is finished. If the connectivity fails, the server may not acknowledge completion of a given daily, or it may not allow the attempt altogether.

== D.E.R.P. Overview ==

D.E.R.P. selects a random map, and a random class/race combination; as well as offers four choices of preparations, each selectable from a set of three. The map can be any Normal or Hard map except for Tower of Gaan-Telet; the class/race combination can be anything (including monster classes; the Enhanced Edition Chemist and Rat Monarch classes; and the Goatperson is also playable this way, even though it is normally only available as part of the Goatperson DLC). The preparations can be almost anything that are available from fully upgraded kingdom buildings. What makes the preparations very unique is that some of the normal rules governing preparation choice do not apply. For example, it is often possible to prepare multiple preparations from the same building (that are mutually exclusive during normal dungeon runs). Items that are normally very rare in shops, such as {{i|Orb of Zot}}, are also significantly more common as daily preparations.

In addition to the level, class, race, and available preparations being seeded random, it is also the case that the random stores, glyphs, monsters, subdungeons, and altars are seeded random. This means that which gods you get is randomly decided for everyone once and for all when the D.E.R.P. is generated by the host server. If you read about someone else's run, your run will have the same gods, monsters, etc. The extra/removed glyph from more/fewer glyphs will be the same, the item swap from Quest/Elite Items will be the same, Conjunction will add the same god, and prepared altars will remove the same god (if the prepared god wasn't already present). A spoiler-free run will leave the player at a mild disadvantage, but every D.E.R.P. is winnable regardless and many players are eager to discuss their findings in the forums.

The D.E.R.P. resets at Midnight GMT. Any ongoing attempts that have not yet completed at this time are counted as losses.

== Preparation Effects unique to D.E.R.P.==
Because the D.E.R.P. allows combinations of preparations that are usually illegal, there are a number of unique interactions and approaches available to players here:

*Preparing both Extra Glyph and Fewer Glyphs will keep the number of glyphs at 5, however will increase their conversion value to 130 points. 
*Preparing multiple altars is possible, and each prepared altar will spawn relatively close to the starting location. Preparing four altars on a non-Crusader is possible; however, only three of the prepared altars will actually spawn in the dungeon. There is no way of knowing which one of the four prepared altars will not spawn. All prepared altars - even the one not showing up - will carry their normal preparations penalties. 
*The ability to prepare multiple altars means you can ensure there are more than one within close proximity to the dungeon entrance, allowing you to immediately desecrate one god to fuel another.
*Bet on Boss will work as normal; gold is carried out from the dungeon as normal, as well as the trophy values are awarded as normal. Note though that no items can be kept from a D.E.R.P. run. 
*It is sometimes possible to prepare non-lockerable items like the {{i|Dragon Heart}} or the {{i|Sticky Stick}}. 
*Individual potions are never available as preparations (though the Apothecary Bazaar preparation can be), however the Apothecary has an extended potion offering during the dailies, and it includes the three potions normally only available as preparations: {{i|Quicksilver Potion}}, {{i|Reflex Potion}} and {{i|Can of Whupaz}}. 
*Preparations that impact the shop item pool (namely, Quest/Elite Items, Shop Scroll, as well as any individual shop items prepared) can make the items available significantly different to different players, even though the same random seed is used for all runs. For more information on this check out the [[Shop Spawn]] page.

== Other Challenges ==

Attempting to build a long streak is only one of the ways to compete in the daily; many players pursue other challenges over and above merely winning the dungeon. Here are some common exploits:

* Fastest Time 
* Most Experience 
* Least Experience (it's harder than it sounds...) 
* Most Damage Dealt 
* Most Piety 
* No Preparations 

It's possible to pursue a combination of these, producing an overall impressive entry even if you're not the best in any one category. Sometimes players do unique things that don't appear on the score-screen. If you do something cool, why not [http://www.qcfdesign.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3253 share it with the Desktop Dungeons community?]

== Strategy ==

Each D.E.R.P. can only be attempted once. Since the primary overall player ranking metric is the current win streak, a lot of players lean towards the "safe" options when playing. Since the D.E.R.P. never selects vicious dungeons or Gaan-Telet, none of the dungeons in rotations require exceptional endurance. As a result, reliability is favored over power, and short-term boosts are favored over long-term boosts.

=== Infamous Classes ===

The preparations system for D.E.R.P. is extremely double-edged. While you might get multiple Elite items or rare gems like {{i|Dragon Heart}}, the choice of preparations lacks reliability. For example, the {{c|Rat Monarch}}'s crucial {{i|Bear Mace}} is highly unlikely to spawn as a prep, and the only other possible source is a subdungeon. {{c|Monk}} can't depend on having {{i|Martyr Wraps}}, etc. Practicing some Purist runs would serve a D.E.R.P. player well.

If you're looking to maintain a win streak, practice some of the trickier classes. You can also cancel out of a D.E.R.P. on the preparation select page and return later, allowing some time for practice runs.

{{c|Goatperson}} - No goat is ever safe! Pick as many early-game preps as possible, and thank your lucky stars if you get to start out with {{i|Amulet of Yendor}}. Kill popcorn early and often for food, and leave a glyph or three on the ground for CP. Pay attention to god rotations and avoid punishments.

{{c|Rat Monarch}} - Practice this class without {{i|Bear Mace}}. Be ready to use gods to the fullest.

{{c|Chemist}} - Aside from being one of the newest classes, Health Form and Mana Form are devilishly tricky and turn end-game planning on its head. Be on the lookout for gods with refills; if there are none, you will want to achieve the highest XP level manageable with a level-up heal and some blackspace left over. Always remember that potions are largely expendable.

{{c|Vampire}} - Another sophisticated class. He depends greatly on blood cows and defensive stats.

=== General ===

'''Altars''' 
*Despite his sometimes debilitating random punishments, {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} is perhaps the best altar preparation / early worship deity (if available). The free {{s|WEYTWUT}} glyph offers a reliable way to de-clog the map; and the sheer power offered by his Boost Health/Mana boons help a lot with leveling; and the extra refills granted by Chaos Avatar and Last Chance help a lot during the boss fights. 
* {{g|Binlor Ironshield}} is an acceptable alternative to Jehora on cramped maps, especially [[Shifting Passages]] and [[The Labyrinth]]. While {{s|PISORF}} solves many problems, farming up {{s|ENDISWAL}} early is the safest bet, and the piety will easily earn itself back. On maps like [[Havendale Bridge]] and [[Berserker Camp]], though, the main bottleneck is indestructible and [[PISORF]]/[[ENDISWAL]] is unreliable. 
*{{g|The Earthmother}}, while being an excellent deity overall, will make you want to petrify plants and/or opponents. Be very careful not to wall yourself off by being over-zealous in pursuit of Earthmother piety. On mazelike maps like The Labyrinth or Shifting Passages just stay clear of her if possible. The Earthmother's Entanglement and Clearance boons are particularly helpful. 
* Although he offers no free glyph, the {{g|Glowing Guardian}} offers boons to boost Health and Mana like Jehora, as well as boons to refill; and perhaps most importantly, Humility helps with leveling and often makes reaching Level 11 stats possible, and it is one of most crucial boons for players aiming for the top of the XP leaderboard. 
* {{g|Taurog}} is a risky deity to worship full-time, since maps with a random boss have a chance to be physically resistant. On the other hand, he's always a safe piety farm, and Taurog's Sword can easily jump start a run if desired. Additional boons should wait for knowledge of all bosses to be safe, though, as the inventory slot and max MP losses will double-nerf your casting potential. The mean time is also great for clearing out Magic and Mana Burn enemies before joining Mystera or Undead before joining Dracul. 

'''Items''' 
* {{i|Namtar's Ward}} is a very safe preparation if available, the death protection it offers goes beyond its normal utility, and also helps prevent accidental losses ('misclicks'). It is also worth 100 CP when converted, which often outclasses lesser preparations options on its own. 
* The {{i|Amulet of Yendor}} can be very useful, helping to out-level monsters and take a lot of pressure off the leveling; alternatively, it can be preserved until the boss fight to trigger an extra mid-fight level-up. 
*Items that give you {{t|Slow Strike}} - like the {{i|Platemail}} or the {{i|Really Big Sword}} - should generally be avoided unless absolutely necessary. A lot of extra hazards are opened up by losing the first strike against lower-level opponents. 
*{{i|Patches}} is almost never worth it during a Daily. It can teleport the character into a very tight spot, either between tough monsters or even into completely walled-off areas. 

'''Other Preparations''' 
*Apothecary is a strong preparation in the dailies because the extended potion assortment can make up for the non-customizable potion kit. 
*Elite Items may be worth it just for the shot at having an Amulet of Yendor in store. If you manage to pair this with {{i|Translocation Seal}}, the item gained will likely be worth two preparation slots, especially if the alternative preparations are mediocre. 
*The Fireball Magnet preparation is extremely useful in the daily, as accessibility of the glyphs can be highly variable

=== Fastest Time ===

The default sorting order of the daily leaderboard is fastest time, making it one of the more competitive metrics.

* Your score is based on the time that the ''server'' receives confirmation of your victory, not the moment you slay the boss. As a result, you should finish the run the instant you land the killing blow to avoid racking up unnecessary extra time.
* Try to ramp up quickly, even if it means attacking sub-optimal monsters or using a potion early. While bonus experience is valuable and conserving resources is important, you need to weigh that against the time you spent looking for ideal victims.
* Be the proverbial tortoise, not the hare. If you click too quickly you're just likely to misclick and die. It's far more important to keep a steady pace and never stop.
* Always think and plan ahead. If you know what you're going to do, you won't waste time planning down the road.
* Skip subdungeons such as the [[Vegetarian Vampire]] that require careful consideration and planning.
* On easier difficulty dailies, the prime determinant of a good time is often how quickly you find the boss. Exploring the map swiftly is very important in these cases.
* Knowing exactly when to begin the boss battle can be very tricky. If you start too early you might undershoot it and fail to kill the boss, but if you keep leveling up you might be spending time for powers and abilities you don't need.

=== Most Experience ===

One of the most common challenges, Most Experience has a very different playstyle than fastest time. Where the former requires rapid exploration and targeting non-ideal enemies to keep pace, Most Experience requires you to carefully take your time and find the ideal enemies to maximize bonus experience. As a result, fast times usually perform poorly in the experience category and vice-versa. If you are pursuing one of these, you should decide which one before you begin the dungeon run.

* Earning bonus experience and finishing every monster in the dungeon are obviously important. Take your time to ramp up sensibly and find the ideal enemies.
* Obviously you want to kill every monster in the dungeon, if possible.
* Deity choice can be paramount to raising your experience earnings. The {{g|Glowing Guardian}} offers the Humility boon, reducing your level and increasing bonus experience. Both {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} and {{g|The Earthmother}} offer you ways to get bonus experience, with slow and petrification. {{g|Tikki Tooki}} offers Tikki's Edge, which over the long-term allows for lots of bonus experience. GG is best early and TT is good late in the run as long as you can farm a lot of piety while saving lots of popcorn. 
* {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} offers the chaos avatar boon which increases your level by one. Interestingly, if you are level 9 or below this does not count as experience earned, but if you're level 10 when you activate it then the bonus ''does'' count as experience earned. This makes Jehora a very powerful capstone for for most experience if you can manage it!
* If it's available, the {{s|ENDISWAL}} glyph is unmatched for its ability to boost your experience gain
* The {{i|Amulet of Yendor}} is a very good item to begin with, but if you're going for most experience there is almost never a situation you can be without it when it's available.
* Similarly, the {{i|Elite Items}} preparation could end up making Amulet of Yendor available for you. While it's not possible to know for sure, the items it grants are often very useful anyways so it's not a bad prep.

=== Most Damage ===

The third column, damage, has the fewest number of competitors. However, there are still a few who compete in this category and produce impressive scores.

* Try to level up while exploring as little as possible. You need as much healing as possible, so conserve blackspace.
* Once you're a decent level, begin fighting monsters but '''don't kill them''', simply leave and let them heal. Even better, if it's a {{m|Shade}} it will teleport away and lifesteal you later for overheal. A {{m|Vampire}} can also be knocked back into the unexplored territory to heal it.

=== Least Experience ===

An unofficial challenge, sorting by least experience is difficult to read since losing runs may be sorted above winning runs (and obviously suiciding at the 1st level is unimpressive). However, there are a small number of players who sometimes do compete for this metric, and it's surprisingly difficult to get. Least experience requires absolute minimalism, taking down the boss at a low level. Because many of their approaches are similar, it is possible to pursue both low experience and fast time simultaneously. Least experience is usually regarded as redundant with least damage, since with few exceptions gaining experience requires dealing damage to monsters.

One of the biggest challenges with a least experience run is that the boss(es) will award a large amount of bonus experience for having killed them. Using deity boons to increase your level can counter-act this, as the level increase provided by {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} and {{g|Dracul}} ''do not'' count towards your total XP earned. This allows you to earn less bonus experience from killing the boss, making these gods absolutely mandatory for a lowest experience score.

Sometimes on particularly easy dailies players will achieve the absolute theoretical minimum possible experience. This, intriguingly, makes lowest experience the only metric where it's realistically possible to hit the theoretical "best" possible score. Below is a description of how to get the lowest possible experience in order to compete. The amount may vary depending on whether Dracul, Jehora Jeheyu, or both are present in the dungeon. The numbers are also slightly different for a {{c|Fighter}} due to the class having a modified XP table.

==== One Boss ====

This is the simplest case. You should always kill exactly 15 XP worth of monsters to reach 3rd level before slaying the boss. If Jehora Jeheyu and/or Dracul are available then activate Chaos Avatar and/or Blood Curse before killing the boss to reduce the bonus experience. If neither are available this results in a minimum value of 69. If only one is available you will end with 57 experience. If both are available you will end with 47 experience.

This approach is the same for the Fighter, but with slightly different values due to his different progression tables. You only require 13 experience rather than 15 to reach 3rd level, but you also gain 1 extra experience point when killing the boss. As a result, the Fighter's minimum experience is exactly 1 point lower than for the other classes in every case presented here.

==== Two Bosses ====

In this case, your approach differs slightly based on the deity availability.

If neither Dracul nor Jehora Jeheyu are present, then the lowest possible experience is 99. You must kill exactly 30 XP worth of monsters to reach 4th level before slaying the first boss. This earns you 42 experience for a total of 72, making you 5th level. Slay 3 XP worth of monsters to reach 75 experience and the 6th level, then slay the boss for 24 experience, totaling 99.

If either Dracul or Jehora Jeheyu are present, then the lowest possible experience is 86. Again, kill 30 XP worth of monsters to reach 4th level then activate your boon to reach 5th level. Slaying the boss will grant you 32 experience, raising you to 6th level with change. Then kill the second boss for 24 experience.

If both deities are present, then the lowest possible experience is 71. Kill exactly 5 XP worth of monsters to reach 2nd level, then activate both boons to promote to 4th level. Slaying the boss will grant you 42 experience, taking you to 6th level, then slaying the second boss awards 24 experience.

The approach with the Fighter is very similar regardless of which deities are available. Gain 13 experience to reach 3rd level. Activate any boons available to increase your level prior to fighting the first boss. Regardless of which combination (if any) of boons you used you will end up as a 6th level character after killing the first boss and should proceed to immediately slay the second boss. If neither god is available then this results in a minimum possible experience of 93, if only one is available your minimum is 81, and if both are available and used the minimum is 71.

==== Three Bosses ====

If neither JJ nor Dracul are available, then the lowest possible experience is 123. This works almost identically to the 2-boss scenario. Slay 6 additional XP worth of monsters after killing the second boss (reaching 7th level) then slay the final boss for 18 experience, totally 123.

== Infamous D.E.R.P.'s ==

Every D.E.R.P. to date has been winnable, with at least some players winning. However, a few have been notorious for their high difficulty or deadly traps.

'''March 14th 2015 - Half-Dragon in Magma Mines'''
The Half-Dragon runs into a problem with the magic-immune boss in this dungeon. His regular attack deals magic damage, and his only way to deal physical damage is with knockback. Normally this is only an inconvenience, but if the boss happens to be cornered by impassible tiles he can't be knocked back into anything, and knocking things into him can't deal a killing blow! While people who prepared Taurog were able to force him to move due to his cowardly trait, and some people figured out that the WHUPAZ potion can be used to deliver 1 point of damage after he has been sufficiently weakened to finish him, most people were faced with a situation that couldn't be won by any conventional means.

'''May 14th 2015 - Rat Monarch in Shifting Passages'''
The second highest mortality rate of any D.E.R.P. to date, only 8 players won this difficult dungeon. The randomized boss was Bleaty, which proved difficult for the Rat Monarch to actually land a hit against. Part of the difficulty was that the Enhanced Edition was relatively new, so players had not yet had much time to become accustomed to the Rat Monarch and Shifting Passages is one of the most difficult dungeons in rotation.

'''September 3rd 2015 - Goatperson in Rock Garden'''
The highest mortality rate of any D.E.R.P. to date, only 7 players won this difficult dungeon. There were very few monsters close to the entrance, however each corridor was blocked by plants. Initial piety generation was very difficult. Since Earthmother was one of the (non-replacable) altars, most players had to endure at least one of her punishments for clearing one of the corridors; players who did not prep the Wicked Guitar had to endure another. Most players simply starved to death on this one. Those few players who have won this DERP are believed to have read the spoilers posted on the qcfdesign forums.

D.E.R.P. Streakbuilding

2016-02-21T15:49:56Z

Tinker: Created page with "This page details some good advice to improve your chances of building a nice D.E.R.P. win streak. While it is primarily intended to be used as a sub-page of the D.E.R.P...."

This page details some good advice to improve your chances of building a nice D.E.R.P. win streak. While it is primarily intended to be used as a sub-page of the [[D.E.R.P.]] page, it contains general advice that can be also useful outside of the D.E.R.P.s.

== D.E.R.P. Scoring ==

As the main sorting metrics of the D.E.R.P. overall leaderboard are based on "streaks", i.e. number of days of consecutive D.E.R.P. wins, a lot of players strive to build a continuous winstreak. This can seem like a daunting undertaking at first, however dedicated (and lucky) players can reach as high as 100+ consecutive wins. Due to the randomness, some daily challenges are significantly more difficult than others; however, there are a lot of things each player can do to improve their chances of winning reliably.

The Leaderboard displays the following three metrics for each player:
* Current win streak
* Best win streak
* Total wins

In addition to these metrics, the Audit Zeppelin displays two more metrics (which are not visible to other players):
* Total Tries
* Win Ratio

Note on scoring:
*If you win a D.E.R.P., your current win streak will increase by 1, your total wins and total tries will each increase by 1, and your win ratio will be recalculated. If you Current win streak surpasses your previous Best win streak, the latter will also increase. Note that killing all bosses and then retiring/dying/surrendering also counts as a win for leaderboard purposes (though you will not gain gold from the run).
*If you lose a D.E.R.P., your current win streak will re-set to zero, your total wins not increase, however your total tries will increase (and your win ratio will be recalculated). Note that when the day closes, any runs not reported complete (for example due to server connectivity or computer-crashing reasons) will be tallied as losses.
*If you do not play in a given D.E.R.P., your win streak will reset to zero just as if you had lost that particular daily; however, your Total Tries and Total Wins will not change, and neither will your Win Ratio.

== Main Loss Causes ==

There are many threats looking to end an unsuspecting adventurer's winstreak in the unforgiving world of Desktop Dungeons. Some of the most common causes:
1. Getting trapped behind walls/tough enemies
2. Running out of resources / not being able to tank a hit from the boss
3. Misclicking
4. Brainfreeze
5. Running out of food (Goatperson)

Below follow some ideas on how to avoid each of the main loss types. Sometimes a certain preparation or strategy will be optimal to avoid one type of loss but may increase the likelihood of another; if your losses seem to belong to more or less the same group, it might make sense to prioritize the countermeasures against that loss type over the others.

=== Avoiding getting trapped ===

Typical examples of getting trapped:
* Clogged starting area (some maps are more prone to this than others; Grimm's Grotto and Halls of Steel are almost always starting clogged, for example).
* Walls formed by Gorgon / IMAWAL
* Treacherous maps like Shifting Passages wall formations, Labyrinth's Rex
* The Earthmother's Plants blocking a path or covering a trophy or stair

To reduce risk of getting trapped:
* Use/keep lyphs that can open up ways, or allow you to tap into unaccessible blackspace, like: ENDISWAL, PISORF, WEYTWUT; LEMMISI, BLUDTUPOWA; and to a certain degree, WONAFYT.
* Consider taking the "Extra Glyph" preparation to increase the odds of finding more of these glyphs (and avoid "Fewer Glyphs" for the same reason).
* Deities that offer some of these glyphs - JJ, Binlor - are usually (but not always) safe preparations in a Daily.
* Glowing Guardian's "Absolution" boon is a non-intuitive but nevertheless effective way to remove some of the low-level monsters that can block paths
* Avoid using IMAWAL unless you also have ENDISWAL (or are absolutely, completely sure what you're doing).
* Likewise, avoid The Earthmother. She is an awesome all-purpose deity, but she does tend to clog the map. Again, she can be used completely safely, but it takes a lot of skill, so unless you want to keep a notepad ready for counting how many plants are "out there", just ignore her if you can.
* Familiarize yourself with the workings of the tricky maps that can trap you: most notably Shifting Passages and The Labyrinth; but getting over-cursed in Cursed Oasis can also spell doom. Also, some maps are more clogged than others (for example Ick Swamp).
* Avoid prepping Patches. He can teleport your into completely sealed-off areas. If none of the alternatives are meaningful, either leave the slot open, or prep Patches and convert him immediately upon starting.

=== Avoiding Running out of Resources ===

Typically, maps will have an assortment of different monsters, and random layout, which will mean that for a given character, each map may be more or less difficult, depending on which monsters are dominant (and readily accessible). Also, sometimes the boss is just very difficult to handle with the available glyphs/items for the character. Usually, there are ways to defeat every boss, but there were already a few examples of Daily runs where not picking the right preparations made a loss inevitable. Still, there are things you can do to pick the right preps, and to make the most of the available resources, improving the chances of a win.

To reduce the risk of running out of resources:
* Make sure you're "in shape". Skill with Desktop Dungeons is partly academic, but partly just being in practice. If you just play one Daily per day, you're going to experience a bit of skill decay, and you'll be more prone to losing some of the trickier runs. On the other hand, if you regularly play Vicious runs, you'll have a good chance at winning most Dailies (remember, due to the RNG, some Normal/Hard Dailies are actually harder to win than some average Vicious runs!). Rule of thumb: play one extra game each day on top of the Daily (ideally, Vicious and/or VT). Also, look for opportunities to play "outside of your comfort zone". For example, play Purist, with unsynergistic builds, to learn to cope with such situations.
* Check to see if there are any spoilers on the qcfdesign forums before playing to see if there's anything specific to the map. The boss, the layout, the high-level monsters may need you to adjust your strategy. This is especially useful for Goat runs, or to a lesser degree to Gorgons/Vampires/Chemists/Rats.
* Make sure you have some experience playing non-standard combinations. Like, Rats with Bear Mace are proven awesome, but in most Rat dailies until today, there wasn't any knockback. So knowing how to win reliably without KB is very useful.
* Also make sure you're familiar with the easy-to-craft combos. A Mystera Gnome, for example, is almost always enough to win.
* Try not to commit yourself to a specialist strategy before uncovering the boss(es). Joining JJ, for example, is almost always a good starting move; however, don't join Taurog unless you know what you're up against. Also, don't convert glyphs that can come in handy against specific bosses. You may feel that your Orc Berserker of Dracul is nigh unstoppable, but finding a late Bleaty may make your wish you had joined Mystera (or Tikki Tooki, or Taurog, etc.) instead. Binlor, Mystera and JJ are almost always good starting deities, but the others may or may not be good options depending on the specifics of the map.

=== Avoiding mis-clicks ===

Most players will say that the most disappointing loss is the mis-click. You may have the perfect strategy, but if you accidentally click a Barbing Bush, for example, you're dead.

To reduce the number of misclicks:
* Turn off the Radial Menu;
* Switch to right-button attack;
* Play slower to reduce twitching;
* Look for ways to get Death Protection. CYDSTEPP is a keeper; Namtar's Ward is an auto-prep; Badge of Honour is an auto-buy-and-pop.
* Make sure your mouse works well. You don't need a hyper-sensitive gamer mouse, just a reliable rodent that never interprets a "single click" as a "double click".

=== Avoiding brainfreeze ===

Often a loss is attributable to something silly like forgetting that the Djinn or Jadetooth have Retaliate:Fireball. Or forgetting that Gorgons have Death Gaze *and* First Strike.

To reduce impact of brainfreeze:
* Pause for a moment before clicking to see if the death warning lights up, and stop to think why if it does;
* Pay special attention to - or if possible, avoid altogether - game elements that introduce extra drawbacks. For example, slow strike (platemail/really big sword); avatar's codex; patches!!.
* Try to play safely whenever you're not in top form emotionally or mentally. If you can, avoid interruptions. Stay focused on winning the given map.

=== Avoiding running out of food ===

Goatperson D.E.R.P.s can be much-much harder than any other class (including the other "challenge class"es like Gorgon, Chemist, Rat Monarch, etc.), simply because the Goatperson has very limited exploration available at the start. Some of the nastier Goatperson dailies were outright unwinnable unless you guessed right, which way to start exploring first.

Some tips to die less frequently:
* Prepare / get items that can get you out of tight spots (Amulet of Yendor, Slaying Wand, Fireball Magnet are all excellent preparations)
* Read the spoilers if you can.
* Be prepared for the worst.

D.E.R.P.

2016-02-21T14:30:42Z

Tinker: /* D.E.R.P. Overview */ typo fix

[[File:DERP_Selection.png|right|600px]]
The '''Daily Exploration Re-Enactment Program''' is a daily challenge complete with score metrics. It was introduced with the Enhanced Edition (beta testing began 10th March 2015, official release date 20th April 2015). The daily challenge resets at Midnight GMT.

== Accessing the D.E.R.P. ==

The D.E.R.P. becomes accessible by unlocking the [[Audit Zeppelin]] in a Kingdom. After the Audit Zeppelin is unlocked, it shows individual statistics, as well as allows access to the daily D.E.R.P. challenges and to the Leaderboard. The D.E.R.P. can also be accessed from the main splash screen without loading any of the kingdoms; any gold award received for completing the daily challenge will be added to the most recently played Kingdom's treasury. The daily challenge resets at midnight GMT, and although runs may be attempted even just before the cut-over, any run not finished and reported before midnight will mess up the results for the given day. Each D.E.R.P. can only be attempted once, and the game communicates with the Daily Servers when the daily is started; and when the daily is finished. If the connectivity fails, the server may not acknowledge completion of a given daily, or it may not allow the attempt altogether.

== D.E.R.P. Overview ==

D.E.R.P. selects a random map, and a random class/race combination; as well as offers four choices of preparations, each selectable from a set of three. The map can be any Normal or Hard map except for Tower of Gaan-Telet; the class/race combination can be anything (including monster classes; the Enhanced Edition Chemist and Rat Monarch classes; and the Goatperson is also playable this way, even though it is normally only available as part of the Goatperson DLC). The preparations can be almost anything that are available from fully upgraded kingdom buildings. What makes the preparations very unique is that some of the normal rules governing preparation choice do not apply. For example, it is often possible to prepare multiple preparations from the same building (that are mutually exclusive during normal dungeon runs). Items that are normally very rare in shops, such as {{i|Orb of Zot}}, are also significantly more common as daily preparations.

In addition to the level, class, race, and available preparations being seeded random, it is also the case that the random stores, glyphs, monsters, subdungeons, and altars are seeded random. This means that which gods you get is randomly decided for everyone once and for all when the D.E.R.P. is generated by the host server. If you read about someone else's run, your run will have the same gods, monsters, etc. The extra/removed glyph from more/fewer glyphs will be the same, the item swap from Quest/Elite Items will be the same, Conjunction will add the same god, and prepared altars will remove the same god (if the prepared god wasn't already present). A spoiler-free run will leave the player at a mild disadvantage, but every D.E.R.P. is winnable regardless and many players are eager to discuss their findings in the forums.

The D.E.R.P. resets at Midnight GMT. Any ongoing attempts that have not yet completed at this time are counted as losses.

== Preparation Effects unique to D.E.R.P.==
Because the D.E.R.P. allows combinations of preparations that are usually illegal, there are a number of unique interactions and approaches available to players here:

*Preparing both Extra Glyph and Fewer Glyphs will keep the number of glyphs at 5, however will increase their conversion value to 130 points. 
*Preparing multiple altars is possible, and each prepared altar will spawn relatively close to the starting location. Preparing four altars on a non-Crusader is possible; however, only three of the prepared altars will actually spawn in the dungeon. There is no way of knowing which one of the four prepared altars will not spawn. All prepared altars - even the one not showing up - will carry their normal preparations penalties. 
*The ability to prepare multiple altars means you can ensure there are more than one within close proximity to the dungeon entrance, allowing you to immediately desecrate one god to fuel another.
*Bet on Boss will work as normal; gold is carried out from the dungeon as normal, as well as the trophy values are awarded as normal. Note though that no items can be kept from a D.E.R.P. run. 
*It is sometimes possible to prepare non-lockerable items like the {{i|Dragon Heart}} or the {{i|Sticky Stick}}. 
*Individual potions are never available as preparations (though the Apothecary Bazaar preparation can be), however the Apothecary has an extended potion offering during the dailies, and it includes the three potions normally only available as preparations: {{i|Quicksilver Potion}}, {{i|Reflex Potion}} and {{i|Can of Whupaz}}. 
*Preparations that impact the shop item pool (namely, Quest/Elite Items, Shop Scroll, as well as any individual shop items prepared) can make the items available significantly different to different players, even though the same random seed is used for all runs. For more information on this check out the [[Shop Spawn]] page.

== Other Challenges ==

Attempting to build a long streak is only one of the ways to compete in the daily; many players pursue other challenges over and above merely winning the dungeon. Here are some common exploits:

* Fastest Time 
* Most Experience 
* Least Experience (it's harder than it sounds...) 
* Most Damage Dealt 
* Most Piety 
* No Preparations 

It's possible to pursue a combination of these, producing an overall impressive entry even if you're not the best in any one category. Sometimes players do unique things that don't appear on the score-screen. If you do something cool, why not [http://www.qcfdesign.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3253 share it with the Desktop Dungeons community?]

== Strategy ==

Each D.E.R.P. can only be attempted once. Since the primary overall player ranking metric is the current win streak, a lot of players lean towards the "safe" options when playing. Since the D.E.R.P. never selects vicious dungeons or Gaan-Telet, none of the dungeons in rotations require exceptional endurance. As a result, reliability is favored over power, and short-term boosts are favored over long-term boosts.

=== Infamous Classes ===

The preparations system for D.E.R.P. is extremely double-edged. While you might get multiple Elite items or rare gems like {{i|Dragon Heart}}, the choice of preparations lacks reliability. For example, the {{c|Rat Monarch}}'s crucial {{i|Bear Mace}} is highly unlikely to spawn as a prep, and the only other possible source is a subdungeon. {{c|Monk}} can't depend on having {{i|Martyr Wraps}}, etc. Practicing some Purist runs would serve a D.E.R.P. player well.

If you're looking to maintain a win streak, practice some of the trickier classes. You can also cancel out of a D.E.R.P. on the preparation select page and return later, allowing some time for practice runs.

{{c|Goatperson}} - No goat is ever safe! Pick as many early-game preps as possible, and thank your lucky stars if you get to start out with {{i|Amulet of Yendor}}. Kill popcorn early and often for food, and leave a glyph or three on the ground for CP. Pay attention to god rotations and avoid punishments.

{{c|Rat Monarch}} - Practice this class without {{i|Bear Mace}}. Be ready to use gods to the fullest.

{{c|Chemist}} - Aside from being one of the newest classes, Health Form and Mana Form are devilishly tricky and turn end-game planning on its head. Be on the lookout for gods with refills; if there are none, you will want to achieve the highest XP level manageable with a level-up heal and some blackspace left over. Always remember that potions are largely expendable.

{{c|Vampire}} - Another sophisticated class. He depends greatly on blood cows and defensive stats.

=== General ===

'''Altars''' 
*Despite his sometimes debilitating random punishments, {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} is perhaps the best altar preparation / early worship deity (if available). The free {{s|WEYTWUT}} glyph offers a reliable way to de-clog the map; and the sheer power offered by his Boost Health/Mana boons help a lot with leveling; and the extra refills granted by Chaos Avatar and Last Chance help a lot during the boss fights. 
* {{g|Binlor Ironshield}} is an acceptable alternative to Jehora on cramped maps, especially [[Shifting Passages]] and [[The Labyrinth]]. While {{s|PISORF}} solves many problems, farming up {{s|ENDISWAL}} early is the safest bet, and the piety will easily earn itself back. On maps like [[Havendale Bridge]] and [[Berserker Camp]], though, the main bottleneck is indestructible and [[PISORF]]/[[ENDISWAL]] is unreliable. 
*{{g|The Earthmother}}, while being an excellent deity overall, will make you want to petrify plants and/or opponents. Be very careful not to wall yourself off by being over-zealous in pursuit of Earthmother piety. On mazelike maps like The Labyrinth or Shifting Passages just stay clear of her if possible. The Earthmother's Entanglement and Clearance boons are particularly helpful. 
* Although he offers no free glyph, the {{g|Glowing Guardian}} offers boons to boost Health and Mana like Jehora, as well as boons to refill; and perhaps most importantly, Humility helps with leveling and often makes reaching Level 11 stats possible, and it is one of most crucial boons for players aiming for the top of the XP leaderboard. 
* {{g|Taurog}} is a risky deity to worship full-time, since maps with a random boss have a chance to be physically resistant. On the other hand, he's always a safe piety farm, and Taurog's Sword can easily jump start a run if desired. Additional boons should wait for knowledge of all bosses to be safe, though, as the inventory slot and max MP losses will double-nerf your casting potential. The mean time is also great for clearing out Magic and Mana Burn enemies before joining Mystera or Undead before joining Dracul. 

'''Items''' 
* {{i|Namtar's Ward}} is a very safe preparation if available, the death protection it offers goes beyond its normal utility, and also helps prevent accidental losses ('misclicks'). It is also worth 100 CP when converted, which often outclasses lesser preparations options on its own. 
* The {{i|Amulet of Yendor}} can be very useful, helping to out-level monsters and take a lot of pressure off the leveling; alternatively, it can be preserved until the boss fight to trigger an extra mid-fight level-up. 
*Items that give you {{t|Slow Strike}} - like the {{i|Platemail}} or the {{i|Really Big Sword}} - should generally be avoided unless absolutely necessary. A lot of extra hazards are opened up by losing the first strike against lower-level opponents. 
*{{i|Patches}} is almost never worth it during a Daily. It can teleport the character into a very tight spot, either between tough monsters or even into completely walled-off areas. 

'''Other Preparations''' 
*Apothecary is a strong preparation in the dailies because the extended potion assortment can make up for the non-customizable potion kit. 
*Elite Items may be worth it just for the shot at having an Amulet of Yendor in store. If you manage to pair this with {{i|Translocation Seal}}, the item gained will likely be worth two preparation slots, especially if the alternative preparations are mediocre. 
*The Fireball Magnet preparation is extremely useful in the daily, as accessibility of the glyphs can be highly variable

=== Fastest Time ===

The default sorting order of the daily leaderboard is fastest time, making it one of the more competitive metrics.

* Your score is based on the time that the ''server'' receives confirmation of your victory, not the moment you slay the boss. As a result, you should finish the run the instant you land the killing blow to avoid racking up unnecessary extra time.
* Try to ramp up quickly, even if it means attacking sub-optimal monsters or using a potion early. While bonus experience is valuable and conserving resources is important, you need to weigh that against the time you spent looking for ideal victims.
* Be the proverbial tortoise, not the hare. If you click too quickly you're just likely to misclick and die. It's far more important to keep a steady pace and never stop.
* Always think and plan ahead. If you know what you're going to do, you won't waste time planning down the road.
* Skip subdungeons such as the [[Vegetarian Vampire]] that require careful consideration and planning.
* On easier difficulty dailies, the prime determinant of a good time is often how quickly you find the boss. Exploring the map swiftly is very important in these cases.
* Knowing exactly when to begin the boss battle can be very tricky. If you start too early you might undershoot it and fail to kill the boss, but if you keep leveling up you might be spending time for powers and abilities you don't need.

=== Most Experience ===

One of the most common challenges, Most Experience has a very different playstyle than fastest time. Where the former requires rapid exploration and targeting non-ideal enemies to keep pace, Most Experience requires you to carefully take your time and find the ideal enemies to maximize bonus experience. As a result, fast times usually perform poorly in the experience category and vice-versa. If you are pursuing one of these, you should decide which one before you begin the dungeon run.

* Earning bonus experience and finishing every monster in the dungeon are obviously important. Take your time to ramp up sensibly and find the ideal enemies.
* Obviously you want to kill every monster in the dungeon, if possible.
* Deity choice can be paramount to raising your experience earnings. The {{g|Glowing Guardian}} offers the Humility boon, reducing your level and increasing bonus experience. Both {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} and {{g|The Earthmother}} offer you ways to get bonus experience, with slow and petrification. {{g|Tikki Tooki}} offers Tikki's Edge, which over the long-term allows for lots of bonus experience. GG is best early and TT is good late in the run as long as you can farm a lot of piety while saving lots of popcorn. 
* {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} offers the chaos avatar boon which increases your level by one. Interestingly, if you are level 9 or below this does not count as experience earned, but if you're level 10 when you activate it then the bonus ''does'' count as experience earned. This makes Jehora a very powerful capstone for for most experience if you can manage it!
* If it's available, the {{s|ENDISWAL}} glyph is unmatched for its ability to boost your experience gain
* The {{i|Amulet of Yendor}} is a very good item to begin with, but if you're going for most experience there is almost never a situation you can be without it when it's available.
* Similarly, the {{i|Elite Items}} preparation could end up making Amulet of Yendor available for you. While it's not possible to know for sure, the items it grants are often very useful anyways so it's not a bad prep.

=== Most Damage ===

The third column, damage, has the fewest number of competitors. However, there are still a few who compete in this category and produce impressive scores.

* Try to level up while exploring as little as possible. You need as much healing as possible, so conserve blackspace.
* Once you're a decent level, begin fighting monsters but '''don't kill them''', simply leave and let them heal. Even better, if it's a {{m|Shade}} it will teleport away and lifesteal you later for overheal. A {{m|Vampire}} can also be knocked back into the unexplored territory to heal it.

=== Least Experience ===

An unofficial challenge, sorting by least experience is difficult to read since losing runs may be sorted above winning runs (and obviously suiciding at the 1st level is unimpressive). However, there are a small number of players who sometimes do compete for this metric, and it's surprisingly difficult to get. Least experience requires absolute minimalism, taking down the boss at a low level. Because many of their approaches are similar, it is possible to pursue both low experience and fast time simultaneously. Least experience is usually regarded as redundant with least damage, since with few exceptions gaining experience requires dealing damage to monsters.

One of the biggest challenges with a least experience run is that the boss(es) will award a large amount of bonus experience for having killed them. Using deity boons to increase your level can counter-act this, as the level increase provided by {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} and {{g|Dracul}} ''do not'' count towards your total XP earned. This allows you to earn less bonus experience from killing the boss, making these gods absolutely mandatory for a lowest experience score.

Sometimes on particularly easy dailies players will achieve the absolute theoretical minimum possible experience. This, intriguingly, makes lowest experience the only metric where it's realistically possible to hit the theoretical "best" possible score. Below is a description of how to get the lowest possible experience in order to compete. The amount may vary depending on whether Dracul, Jehora Jeheyu, or both are present in the dungeon. The numbers are also slightly different for a {{c|Fighter}} due to the class having a modified XP table.

==== One Boss ====

This is the simplest case. You should always kill exactly 15 XP worth of monsters to reach 3rd level before slaying the boss. If Jehora Jeheyu and/or Dracul are available then activate Chaos Avatar and/or Blood Curse before killing the boss to reduce the bonus experience. If neither are available this results in a minimum value of 69. If only one is available you will end with 57 experience. If both are available you will end with 47 experience.

This approach is the same for the Fighter, but with slightly different values due to his different progression tables. You only require 13 experience rather than 15 to reach 3rd level, but you also gain 1 extra experience point when killing the boss. As a result, the Fighter's minimum experience is exactly 1 point lower than for the other classes in every case presented here.

==== Two Bosses ====

In this case, your approach differs slightly based on the deity availability.

If neither Dracul nor Jehora Jeheyu are present, then the lowest possible experience is 99. You must kill exactly 30 XP worth of monsters to reach 4th level before slaying the first boss. This earns you 42 experience for a total of 72, making you 5th level. Slay 3 XP worth of monsters to reach 75 experience and the 6th level, then slay the boss for 24 experience, totaling 99.

If either Dracul or Jehora Jeheyu are present, then the lowest possible experience is 86. Again, kill 30 XP worth of monsters to reach 4th level then activate your boon to reach 5th level. Slaying the boss will grant you 32 experience, raising you to 6th level with change. Then kill the second boss for 24 experience.

If both deities are present, then the lowest possible experience is 71. Kill exactly 5 XP worth of monsters to reach 2nd level, then activate both boons to promote to 4th level. Slaying the boss will grant you 42 experience, taking you to 6th level, then slaying the second boss awards 24 experience.

The approach with the Fighter is very similar regardless of which deities are available. Gain 13 experience to reach 3rd level. Activate any boons available to increase your level prior to fighting the first boss. Regardless of which combination (if any) of boons you used you will end up as a 6th level character after killing the first boss and should proceed to immediately slay the second boss. If neither god is available then this results in a minimum possible experience of 93, if only one is available your minimum is 81, and if both are available and used the minimum is 71.

==== Three Bosses ====

If neither JJ nor Dracul are available, then the lowest possible experience is 123. This works almost identically to the 2-boss scenario. Slay 6 additional XP worth of monsters after killing the second boss (reaching 7th level) then slay the final boss for 18 experience, totally 123.

== Infamous D.E.R.P.'s ==

Every D.E.R.P. to date has been winnable, with at least some players winning. However, a few have been notorious for their high difficulty or deadly traps.

'''March 14th 2015 - Half-Dragon in Magma Mines'''
The Half-Dragon runs into a problem with the magic-immune boss in this dungeon. His regular attack deals magic damage, and his only way to deal physical damage is with knockback. Normally this is only an inconvenience, but if the boss happens to be cornered by impassible tiles he can't be knocked back into anything, and knocking things into him can't deal a killing blow! While people who prepared Taurog were able to force him to move due to his cowardly trait, and some people figured out that the WHUPAZ potion can be used to deliver 1 point of damage after he has been sufficiently weakened to finish him, most people were faced with a situation that couldn't be won by any conventional means.

'''May 14th 2015 - Rat Monarch in Shifting Passages'''
The second highest mortality rate of any D.E.R.P. to date, only 8 players won this difficult dungeon. The randomized boss was Bleaty, which proved difficult for the Rat Monarch to actually land a hit against. Part of the difficulty was that the Enhanced Edition was relatively new, so players had not yet had much time to become accustomed to the Rat Monarch and Shifting Passages is one of the most difficult dungeons in rotation.

'''September 3rd 2015 - Goatperson in Rock Garden'''
The highest mortality rate of any D.E.R.P. to date, only 7 players won this difficult dungeon. There were very few monsters close to the entrance, however each corridor was blocked by plants. Initial piety generation was very difficult. Since Earthmother was one of the (non-replacable) altars, most players had to endure at least one of her punishments for clearing one of the corridors; players who did not prep the Wicked Guitar had to endure another. Most players simply starved to death on this one. Those few players who have won this DERP are believed to have read the spoilers posted on the qcfdesign forums.

Tinker: /* Complex Mechanics */ Confirmed interaction with Mystic Balance

<onlyinclude>{{
{{{tpl|GlyphInfobox}}}
|Name=IMAWAL
|ManaCost=5
|Effects=
* Transform the target into a wall block.
* Grants the caster {{t|Experience Boost}}(+50% XP on the next kill).
* Removes 1 stack of curse.
* Spawns a regular wall when used on an empty space. This refunds 2 mana and does not trigger bonus experience or curse removal.
|Hotkey= I
}}</onlyinclude>

The '''IMAWAL''' glyph petrifies enemies, turning them into statues. It is a quite '''specialised''' glyph with a wide variety of effects that can be used in many unique situations.

In the right circumstances is can be extremely useful, especially for knockback characters and maps which have a particularly unfavorable mix of monsters.

== Complex Mechanics ==

IMAWAL cannot be cast on bosses or mini-bosses (for example the monsters in the towers of Gaan-Telet).

It can be cast on an empty space, spawning a regular wall on that tile. This use only costs 3 Mana Points to cast (unless under the effects of Mystera's Mystic Balance, in which case it costs 5). Note that the spell can only be triggered when the player has 5 or more mana, even if the intention is to cast it on an empty tile. Casting it on empty space won't grant you the XP-bonus, however, and will anger Binlor.

If cast on any monster (including plants and other monsters with {{t|No Experience}}), it will turn that monster into a statue, and provide the {{t|Experience Boost}} player buff (the next XP-valuable monster the player kills will receive an +50% XP bonus to the monster's base XP value, and the regular Bonus XP from killing a higher-level monster). Petrifying enemies does not count as a kill and rewards you 0 XP. Statues are similar to normal walls; the player cannot pass through them and they can be destroyed by anything that destroys normal walls, such as {{s|ENDISWAL}}, {{s|PISORF}}, or knockback.

If cast on an XP-valuable monster, it will have the following extra effects:
* The Stone Statue will have a pile of 1 gold under it, that can only be retrieved upon destruction of the statue. If "Black Market" preparation was used, the gold pile value is increased by 1 as normal.
* Petrifying a slowed enemy will still grant the bonus 1 XP you would have gained from a regular kill.
* Petrifying an enemy will remove one stack of {{t|Cursed}}.

The XP bonus applies to the next XP-valuable enemy you kill, however is used up even if the bonus is zero (i.e. killing a Level 1 monster). This bonus comes after the Bonus XP received due to killing a higher-level monster, however does not multiply the flat XP bonus from Learning or Slow.

ie. Total XP = (Standard XP + level-difference bonus XP) * 1.5 + other bonus XP (learning, slow)

'''Example:''' Assume that a Level 2 hero kills a slowed Level 5 monster, just after having cast IMAWAL on a monster. He would gain a total of 20 experience points: 5 regular experience thanks to the monster's level; 8 bonus experience for the level difference; 6 bonus experience thanks to the petrification, calculated as 50% of (5+8); and another 1 bonus experience because of the slow.

== Unlocking the glyph ==

The '''IMAWAL''' glyph starts unlocked.

A free IMAWAL glyph is provided when you worship the {{g|The Earthmother}}. It will not spawn if you convert to Earthmother from another god.

== Strategy ==

'''IMAWAL''' is a bit of a two-edged sword. While petrifying a monster can provide the player with a large XP bonus, the petrified monster itself won't give any experience to the player,
Because of this, it is generally better to use the glyph on foes which you ideally would never want to fight, such as Illusions, Revenants, or high-lvl Animated Armors. This allows you to effectively level even on maps with an unfavorable mix of monsters for your class.

Otherwise players should only petrify monsters with a very low level, since the loss of potential XP from petrifying high level monsters rarely outweighs the bonus XP you receive.

Generally, the glyph should be used sparingly if there are no non-XP-valuable monsters , as removing too much popcorn can leave players at a disadvantage later on. It is also very easy to block off sections of the map by petrifying enemies in hallways and tight spaces.

'''IMAWAL''' is also one of the few ways to gain piety with {{g|The_Earthmother}}. Since all of her boons spawn plants, you can petrify them for piety. While petrifying plants only gives you half the piety, it allows you to save your popcorn.

Half-dragons and casters relying on {{s|PISORF}} have an alternative usage for this glyph. Since it allows the player to spawn walls, they can use it to set up knockback-chains if there are no walls around a monster.

Tinker: /* The Item Lists */

{{stub}}

This page elaborates the algorithm used to populate the [[Items|Item]] shops. It can get a bit mathsy, though understanding the algorithm can help also to understand (and possibly improve) the odds of finding certain items. Also, for the [[D.E.R.P.]] challenges there is an additional consideration: given the uniform daily seed given to all players, the item spoilers sometimes posted on the [http://www.qcfdesign.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3|"qcfdesign forums"] can be used to predict how certain preparations will impact the shops' item pools. For new players, this page is probably a bit too much.

== The Algorithm ==

The shop algorithm in a nutshell is:

1. Start with a list of all potential items. 
2. If quest or elite preparations are chosen, then move those items to the front of the list. 
3. Remove prepared inventory items from the list. 
4. Let the length of the list now be n. 
5. Generate a random number in the interval [0, n^2). 
6. Take the square root of that number, round down, and subtract from n-1.This is the index of the chosen item. 
7. Remove the chosen item from the list. 
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for each additional shop. 

For normal dungeon runs, the potential item list is created by adding basic items, then unlocked quest items, then elite items.

For the DERPs, the potential item list contains all items (as would be the case for a kingdom which has unlocked every item, and does not veto any), and follows the same logic as non-Daily runs, i.e. basic items are still at the start, and elite items at the end. For a given DERP seed and a given length n, the generated random numbers will be identical, but the chosen items depend on the order of the list as affected by preparations, as well as any shop items picked for any preparations. If both quest and elite preparations are chosen, then whichever was last in the available preparations will be at the front of the list.

== The Item Lists ==

Each of the three item lists follow a specific sequence. So for example, the 8 basic items have an intrinsic ranking that gives their relative position within the "Basic Items" list; this intrinsic ranking never changes. So if the {{i|Pendant of Health}} is always the first item on the Basic Items list, it will remain so even if the list itself is moved down due to Quest Items / Elite Items preparations. Consequently, if no items are vetoed (or in a DERP), the Health Pendant will be the 1st, 9th, 23rd or 31st item in the list (depending on whether neither Quest Items or Elite Items are prepped; only Elite Items is prepped; only Quest Items is prepped; or both Elite and Quest items are prepped).

The below chart shows the five possible itemlists (depending on which item group preparations are taken):

[[File:Itemlist.PNG|center|646px]]

The logic is, each item retains its intrinsic ranking within its item group; if neither Quest or Elite Items are prepared, the default order followed is Basic Items, then Quest Items, then Elite Items; if either item group preparations is used, it places the given item group at the start of the list, which is then followed by Basic Items and then the remaining item group; if both item group preparations are used, the prep order sequence is followed, putting first the group in the lower prep slot; then the group in the higher prep slot; and finally the remaining Basic Items.

== D.E.R.P. relevance ==

The random seed for the Daily contains a pre-selected shop item index list. However, which items will actually appear in the shops can change completely in light of what preparations are selected by each player for the given daily. It is important to note that even if a player posts complete item spoilers about their run, another player will only get the same items if he takes the same preparations. Relevant preparations: 
* Preparations "Quest Items" and "Elite Items" will alter the item list and so the same index will yield a different item; 
* Taking any of the 38 possible shop items as preparations may shift some of the indexes, as the random seed's floating point numbers may be rounded differently if fewer (or more) items are available; 
* The {{i|Shop Scroll}} spawns an additional shop, again with a pre-determined item index; 
* Any preparation that impacts the starting area - prepared altars, the Smuggler Den subdungeon - may also change the location of the shops, so although it will not change the overall items available, it may change which items appear in which shops. 

In light of the above explanations on how the item lists are populated, it is therefor possible to predict the impact of some preparations on the available items. Some rules of thumb: 
* If you prepare the same *number* of shop items, you can predict with certainty how Quest/Elite Items impact the shop items, because then the item indexes are the same, only modified by the item group preparations, and the rank of the items prepared (which are removed from the list before generating the shop items). 
* If you prepare *fewer* shop items, some items may "slide up" (i.e. give you the previous item in the list instead). 
* If you prepare *more* shop items, some items may "slide down" (i.e. give you the next item in the list instead). 
* On top of potentially changing the indexes as mentioned above... Any prepared shop items will reduce all lower indexes by one. This is because the item is pulled from the item list before the indexes are applied to it, and since the item indexes count backwards (i.e. from the end of the item list), the same count will yield one lower index.
* So the *number* of shop item preparations taken will influence the basic indexes (this is an alteration that cannot be accurately predicted, because it will depend on the rounding of the original randomly generated numbers); but which specific items are prepared, and which item group preparations are taken, will influence which items each index picks up (this can be predicted with complete accuracy). {verification needed}

== Vetoing Items ==

[[Bazaar]] offers the possibility to veto up to 7 shop items (tying 4 slots to completing all the [[Class Challenges]] of each main guild, and 3 additional slots can be purchased in the [[Bank]]). Any items vetoed will be removed from the initial item lists before the master list is assembled based on the item group preparations. This allows a degree of control over the relative position of each item within its item group list; combined with the item group preparations Elite/Quest Items, the chances of finding certain specific items can be greatly increased. Important to note that your kingdom's Veto slots (or unlock progress, for that matter) does not impact the item lists for D.E.R.P.s! The Dailies always use the full item list (i.e. everything unlocked, nothing vetoed).

If you want to increase the likelihood of finding specific items in your dungeon runs, on top of picking the right Bazaar preparation (Quest/Elite Items if you're looking for items belonging to those groups, or Shop Scroll if you're looking for Basic Items or a combination of items from different groups), vetoing higher-ranked items (i.e. those with lower indexes) helps the most. Vetoing lower-ranked items (i.e. those with higher indexes) may or may not help, depending on the relative initial position of the item you want; as a rule of thumb, if your item is among the top 2/3 of items (this is normally a given if you could pick the relevant item group preparation), then your chances also improve a bit if you veto lower-ranked items; however, items in the bottom 1/3 of the list will actually have their chances to be found *reduced*, if items below them are vetoed!

For example, let's say you want to increase your chances of finding the {{i|Vampiric Blade}} item in a fully-unlocked kingdom, assuming 8 stores. 
* Without any preparations or vetoes, you will have 27.2% chance to find it. 
* If you prepare Shop Scroll, the chance goes up to 30.6%. 
* If you prepare Quest Items, the chance increases to 33.9%. 
* On the other hand, if you prepare Elite Items, your chances diminish to 19.6%. 
So the optimal Bazaar preparation is Quest Items, which can boost your chances by 6.7%. Vetoing items: 
* If you prepare Quest Items and veto the higher-ranked five Quest Items (Fire Heart, Hero's Helm, Battlemage Ring, Venom Dagger, Whurrgarbl), your chances go up to 42.6%; adding two more vetos (to reduce number of items) also helps, getting you 45%. 
* If you want to play purist, you can still veto items to help your odds. In this case, vetoing as many as possible Basic Items and/or some of the five quest items mentioned above helps the most. You get a 38.7% chance this way if you veto 7 items, so actually better than just with quest items prep without any vetoes. 

=== Selective Unlocks ===

You may choose not to unlock certain items in your kingdom. These items will then never appear in shops, however, this may improve the chances of finding other items. A word of advice: do not do this for your first kingdom; every single shop item is good for something (and outright awesome for some specific runs), and learning to use each item greatly improves your skill as a Desktop Dungeons player. It can be, however, a fun way to "rig" the shop pool of a subsequent / alternative kingdom, greatly improving the odds of certain items.

Unlocking Elite Items is tied to the Bazaar upgrade and happens in a batch; and doing so also gives 2 extra shops and opens up the Quest/Elite Items preparations (as well as the possibility to have veto slots at all). Add to this that due to the square-root formula used to populate the shops, Elite Items will normally appear very infrequently, the net result is, that there is virtually no benefit in not upgrading Bazaar to Level 3 as soon as possible.

That said, since Quest Items can be unlocked individually, there is a lot of leeway to exercise selective unlocks by picking & choosing which quests you do. To illustrate the impact on probabilities, let's assume that in an alternate kingdom you only have a single Quest Item unlocked, the {{i|Vampiric Blade}}. Assuming Level 3 Bazaar and 8 shops, the odds to find it in a shop is: 
* You have a base 52% chance to find it in store. 
* Preparing Quest Items improves the chance to 72%. 
* Having some items vetoed (maximum 3 is possible without the other class challenges) helps a bit, pushing chances up to 81.6% if you have prepped Quest Items. 
* If you play purist, vetoing 3 Basic Items gives you 69.8% chance (almost as good as the Quest Items prep). 

Needless to say, as different builds/maps/runs require different items, and it is very true that no item is overall weak, it is very difficult to use selective unlocking for anything other than a refreshing experience. Even though individual item chances can be increased this way, it pretty much commits the whole kingdom to this specific "rig", whereas a fully upgraded kingdom can use a combination of 1) re-shuffled veto slots, 2) proper item group preparation, and 3) lots of available gold being able to fuel many attempts, to eventually guarantee finding the right item(s) for any run.

Also, needless to say, there are very few maps/challenges in Desktop Dungeons that would even require the player to think about rigging shops. Everything can be won in the game without ever worrying about this.

If you want to increase the likelihood of finding specific items in your dungeon runs, on top of picking the right Bazaar preparation (Quest/Elite Items if you're looking for items belonging to those groups, or Shop Scroll if you're looking for Basic Items or a combination of items from different groups), vetoing higher-ranked items (i.e. those with lower indexes) helps the most. Vetoing lower-ranked items (i.e. those with higher indexes) may or may not help, depending on the relative initial position of the item you want; as a rule of thumb, if your item is among the top 2/3 of items (this is normally a given if you could pick the relevant item group preparation), then your chances also improve a bit if you veto lower-ranked items; however, items in the bottom 1/3 of the list will actually have their chances to be found *reduced*, if items below them are vetoed!

For example, let's say you want to increase your chances of finding the {{i|Vampiric Blade}} item in a fully-unlocked kingdom, assuming 8 stores. 
* Without any preparations or vetoes, you will have 27.2% chance to find it. 
* If you prepare Shop Scroll, the chance goes up to 30.6%. 
* If you prepare Quest Items, the chance increases to 33.9%. 
* On the other hand, if you prepare Elite Items, your chances diminish to 19.6%. 
So the optimal Bazaar preparation is Quest Items, which can boost your chances by 6.7%. Vetoing items: 
* If you prepare Quest Items and veto the higher-ranked five Quest Items (Fire Heart, Hero's Helm, Battlemage Ring, Venom Dagger, Whurrgarbl), your chances go up to 42.6%; adding two more vetos (to reduce number of items) also helps, getting you 45%. 
* If you want to play purist, you can still veto items to help your odds. In this case, vetoing as many as possible Basic Items and/or some of the five quest items mentioned above helps the most. You get a 38.7% chance this way if you veto 7 items, so actually better than just with quest items prep without any vetoes. 

=== Selective Unlocks ===

You may choose not to unlock certain items in your kingdom. These items will then never appear in shops, however, this may improve the chances of finding other items. A word of advice: do not do this for your first kingdom; every single shop item is good for something (and outright awesome for some specific runs), and learning to use each item greatly improves your skill as a Desktop Dungeons player. It can be, however, a fun way to "rig" the shop pool of a subsequent / alternative kingdom, greatly improving the odds of certain items.

Unlocking Elite Items is tied to the Bazaar upgrade and happens in a batch; and doing so also gives 2 extra shops and opens up the Quest/Elite Items preparations (as well as the possibility to have veto slots at all). Add to this that due to the square-root formula used to populate the shops, Elite Items will normally appear very infrequently, the net result is, that there is virtually no benefit in not upgrading Bazaar to Level 3 as soon as possible.

That said, since Quest Items can be unlocked individually, there is a lot of leeway to exercise selective unlocks by picking & choosing which quests you do. To illustrate the impact on probabilities, let's assume that in an alternate kingdom you only have a single Quest Item unlocked, the {{i|Vampiric Blade}}. Assuming Level 3 Bazaar and 8 shops, the odds to find it in a shop is: 
* You have a base 52% chance to find it in store. 
* Preparing Quest Items improves the chance to 72%. 
* Having some items vetoed (maximum 3 is possible without the other class challenges) helps a bit, pushing chances up to 81.6% if you have prepped Quest Items. 
* If you play purist, vetoing 3 Basic Items gives you 69.8% chance (almost as good as the Quest Items prep). 

Needless to say, as different builds/maps/runs require different items, and it is very true that no item is overall weak, it is very difficult to use selective unlocking for anything other than a refreshing experience. Even though individual item chances can be increased this way, it pretty much commits the whole kingdom to this specific "rig", whereas a fully upgraded kingdom can use a combination of 1) re-shuffled veto slots, 2) proper item group preparation, and 3) lots of available gold being able to fuel many attempts, to eventually guarantee finding the right item(s) for any run.

Also, needless to say, there are very few maps/challenges in Desktop Dungeons that would even require the player to think about rigging shops. Everything can be won in the game without ever worrying about this.

Tinker: /* D.E.R.P. relevance */

{{stub}}

This page elaborates the algorithm used to populate the [[Items|Item]] shops. It can get a bit mathsy, though understanding the algorithm can help also to understand (and possibly improve) the odds of finding certain items. Also, for the [[D.E.R.P.]] challenges there is an additional consideration: given the uniform daily seed given to all players, the item spoilers sometimes posted on the [http://www.qcfdesign.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3|"qcfdesign forums"] can be used to predict how certain preparations will impact the shops' item pools. For new players, this page is probably a bit too much.

== The Algorithm ==

The shop algorithm in a nutshell is:

1. Start with a list of all potential items. 
2. If quest or elite preparations are chosen, then move those items to the front of the list. 
3. Remove prepared inventory items from the list. 
4. Let the length of the list now be n. 
5. Generate a random number in the interval [0, n^2). 
6. Take the square root of that number, round down, and subtract from n-1.This is the index of the chosen item. 
7. Remove the chosen item from the list. 
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for each additional shop. 

For normal dungeon runs, the potential item list is created by adding basic items, then unlocked quest items, then elite items.

For the DERPs, the potential item list contains all items (as would be the case for a kingdom which has unlocked every item, and does not veto any), and follows the same logic as non-Daily runs, i.e. basic items are still at the start, and elite items at the end. For a given DERP seed and a given length n, the generated random numbers will be identical, but the chosen items depend on the order of the list as affected by preparations, as well as any shop items picked for any preparations. If both quest and elite preparations are chosen, then whichever was last in the available preparations will be at the front of the list.

== The Item Lists ==

Each of the three item lists follow a specific sequence. So for example, the 8 basic items have an intrinsic ranking that gives their relative position within the "Basic Items" list; this intrinsic ranking never changes. So if the {{i|Health Pendant}} is always the first item on the Basic Items list, it will remain so even if the list itself is moved down due to Quest Items / Elite Items preparations. Consequently, if no items are vetoed (or in a DERP), the Health Pendant will be the 1st, 9th, 23rd or 31st item in the list (depending on whether neither Quest Items or Elite Items are prepped; only Elite Items is prepped; only Quest Items is prepped; or both Elite and Quest items are prepped).

The below chart shows the five possible itemlists (depending on which item group preparations are taken):

[[File:Itemlist.PNG|center|646px]]

The logic is, each item retains its intrinsic ranking within its item group; if neither Quest or Elite Items are prepared, the default order followed is Basic Items, then Quest Items, then Elite Items; if either item group preparations is used, it places the given item group at the start of the list, which is then followed by Basic Items and then the remaining item group; if both item group preparations are used, the prep order sequence is followed, putting first the group in the lower prep slot; then the group in the higher prep slot; and finally the remaining Basic Items.

== D.E.R.P. relevance ==

The random seed for the Daily contains a pre-selected shop item index list. However, which items will actually appear in the shops can change completely in light of what preparations are selected by each player for the given daily. It is important to note that even if a player posts complete item spoilers about their run, another player will only get the same items if he takes the same preparations. Relevant preparations: 
* Preparations "Quest Items" and "Elite Items" will alter the item list and so the same index will yield a different item; 
* Taking any of the 38 possible shop items as preparations may shift some of the indexes, as the random seed's floating point numbers may be rounded differently if fewer (or more) items are available; 
* The {{i|Shop Scroll}} spawns an additional shop, again with a pre-determined item index; 
* Any preparation that impacts the starting area - prepared altars, the Smuggler Den subdungeon - may also change the location of the shops, so although it will not change the overall items available, it may change which items appear in which shops. 

In light of the above explanations on how the item lists are populated, it is therefor possible to predict the impact of some preparations on the available items. Some rules of thumb: 
* If you prepare the same *number* of shop items, you can predict with certainty how Quest/Elite Items impact the shop items, because then the item indexes are the same, only modified by the item group preparations, and the rank of the items prepared (which are removed from the list before generating the shop items). 
* If you prepare *fewer* shop items, some items may "slide up" (i.e. give you the previous item in the list instead). 
* If you prepare *more* shop items, some items may "slide down" (i.e. give you the next item in the list instead). 
* Any items that would be picked by an index, but are brought in as a preparation instead, will instead give the previous item (the one with one lower index). {verification needed}

== Vetoing Items ==

[[Bazaar]] offers the possibility to veto up to 7 shop items (tying 4 slots to completing all the [[Class Challenges]] of each main guild, and 3 additional slots can be purchased in the [[Bank]]). Any items vetoed will be removed from the initial item lists before the master list is assembled based on the item group preparations. This allows a degree of control over the relative position of each item within its item group list; combined with the item group preparations Elite/Quest Items, the chances of finding certain specific items can be greatly increased. Important to note that your kingdom's Veto slots (or unlock progress, for that matter) does not impact the item lists for D.E.R.P.s! The Dailies always use the full item list (i.e. everything unlocked, nothing vetoed).

If you want to increase the likelihood of finding specific items in your dungeon runs, on top of picking the right Bazaar preparation (Quest/Elite Items if you're looking for items belonging to those groups, or Shop Scroll if you're looking for Basic Items or a combination of items from different groups), vetoing higher-ranked items (i.e. those with lower indexes) helps the most. Vetoing lower-ranked items (i.e. those with higher indexes) may or may not help, depending on the relative initial position of the item you want; as a rule of thumb, if your item is among the top 2/3 of items (this is normally a given if you could pick the relevant item group preparation), then your chances also improve a bit if you veto lower-ranked items; however, items in the bottom 1/3 of the list will actually have their chances to be found *reduced*, if items below them are vetoed!

For example, let's say you want to increase your chances of finding the {{i|Vampiric Blade}} item in a fully-unlocked kingdom, assuming 8 stores. 
* Without any preparations or vetoes, you will have 27.2% chance to find it. 
* If you prepare Shop Scroll, the chance goes up to 30.6%. 
* If you prepare Quest Items, the chance increases to 33.9%. 
* On the other hand, if you prepare Elite Items, your chances diminish to 19.6%. 
So the optimal Bazaar preparation is Quest Items, which can boost your chances by 6.7%. Vetoing items:

D.E.R.P.

2016-01-02T19:33:51Z

Tinker: /* Preparation Effects unique to D.E.R.P. */

[[File:DERP_Selection.png|right|600px]]
The '''Daily Exploration Re-Enactment Program''' is a daily challenge complete with score metrics. It was introduced with the Enhanced Edition (beta testing began 10th March 2015, official release date 20th April 2015). The daily challenge resets at Midnight GMT.

== Accessing the D.E.R.P. ==

The D.E.R.P. becomes accessible by unlocking the [[Audit Zeppelin]] in a Kingdom. After the Audit Zeppelin is unlocked, it shows individual statistics, as well as allows access to the daily D.E.R.P. challenges and to the Leaderboard. The D.E.R.P. can also be accessed from the main splash screen without loading any of the kingdoms; any gold award received for completing the daily challenge will be added to the most recently played Kingdom's treasury. The daily challenge resets at midnight GMT, and although runs may be attempted even just before the cut-over, any run not finished and reported before midnight will mess up the results for the given day. Each D.E.R.P. can only be attempted once, and the game communicates with the Daily Servers when the daily is started; and when the daily is finished. If the connectivity fails, the server may not acknowledge completion of a given daily, or it may not allow the attempt altogether.

== D.E.R.P. Overview ==

D.E.R.P. selects a random map, and a random class/race combination; as well as offers four choices of preparations, each selectable from a set of three. The map can be any Normal or Hard map except for Tower of Gaan-Telet; the class/race combination can be anything (including monster classes; the Enhanced Edition Chemist and Rat Monarch classes; and the Goatperson is also playable this way, even though it is normally only available as part of the Goatperson DLC). The map The preparations can be almost anything that are available from fully upgraded kingdom buildings. What makes the preparations very unique is that some of the normal rules governing preparation choice do not apply. For example, it is often possible to prepare multiple preparations from the same building (that are mutually exclusive during normal dungeon runs). Items that are normally very rare in shops, such as {{i|Orb of Zot}}, are also significantly more common as daily preparations.

In addition to the level, class, race, and available preparations being seeded random, it is also the case that the random stores, glyphs, monsters, subdungeons, and altars are seeded random. This means that which gods you get is randomly decided for everyone once and for all when the D.E.R.P. is generated by the host server. If you read about someone else's run, your run will have the same gods, monsters, etc. The extra/removed glyph from more/fewer glyphs will be the same, the item swap from Quest/Elite Items will be the same, Conjunction will add the same god, and prepared altars will remove the same god (if the prepared god wasn't already present). A spoiler-free run will leave the player at a mild disadvantage, but every D.E.R.P. is winnable regardless and many players are eager to discuss their findings in the forums.

The D.E.R.P. resets at Midnight GMT. Any ongoing attempts that have not yet completed at this time are counted as losses.

== Preparation Effects unique to D.E.R.P.==
Because the D.E.R.P. allows combinations of preparations that are usually illegal, there are a number of unique interactions and approaches available to players here:

*Preparing both Extra Glyph and Fewer Glyphs will keep the number of glyphs at 5, however will increase their conversion value to 130 points. 
*Preparing multiple altars is possible, and each prepared altar will spawn relatively close to the starting location. Preparing four altars on a non-Crusader is possible; however, only three of the prepared altars will actually spawn in the dungeon. There is no way of knowing which one of the four prepared altars will not spawn. All prepared altars - even the one not showing up - will carry their normal preparations penalties. 
*The ability to prepare multiple altars means you can ensure there are more than one within close proximity to the dungeon entrance, allowing you to immediately desecrate one god to fuel another.
*Bet on Boss will work as normal; gold is carried out from the dungeon as normal, as well as the trophy values are awarded as normal. Note though that no items can be kept from a D.E.R.P. run. 
*It is sometimes possible to prepare non-lockerable items like the {{i|Dragon Heart}} or the {{i|Sticky Stick}}. 
*Individual potions are never available as preparations (though the Apothecary Bazaar preparation can be), however the Apothecary has an extended potion offering during the dailies, and it includes the three potions normally only available as preparations: {{i|Quicksilver Potion}}, {{i|Reflex Potion}} and {{i|Can of Whupaz}}. 
*Preparations that impact the shop item pool (namely, Quest/Elite Items, Shop Scroll, as well as any individual shop items prepared) can make the items available significantly different to different players, even though the same random seed is used for all runs. For more information on this check out the [[Shop Spawn]] page.

== Other Challenges ==

Attempting to build a long streak is only one of the ways to compete in the daily; many players pursue other challenges over and above merely winning the dungeon. Here are some common exploits:

* Fastest Time 
* Most Experience 
* Least Experience (it's harder than it sounds...) 
* Most Damage Dealt 
* Most Piety 
* No Preparations 

It's possible to pursue a combination of these, producing an overall impressive entry even if you're not the best in any one category. Sometimes players do unique things that don't appear on the score-screen. If you do something cool, why not [http://www.qcfdesign.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3253 share it with the Desktop Dungeons community?]

== Strategy ==

Each D.E.R.P. can only be attempted once. Since the primary overall player ranking metric is the current win streak, a lot of players lean towards the "safe" options when playing. Since the D.E.R.P. never selects vicious dungeons or Gaan-Telet, none of the dungeons in rotations require exceptional endurance. As a result, reliability is favored over power, and short-term boosts are favored over long-term boosts.

=== Infamous Classes ===

The preparations system for D.E.R.P. is extremely double-edged. While you might get multiple Elite items or rare gems like {{i|Dragon Heart}}, the choice of preparations lacks reliability. For example, the {{c|Rat Monarch}}'s crucial {{i|Bear Mace}} is highly unlikely to spawn as a prep, and the only other possible source is a subdungeon. {{c|Monk}} can't depend on having {{i|Martyr Wraps}}, etc. Practicing some Purist runs would serve a D.E.R.P. player well.

If you're looking to maintain a win streak, practice some of the trickier classes. You can also cancel out of a D.E.R.P. on the preparation select page and return later, allowing some time for practice runs.

{{c|Goatperson}} - No goat is ever safe! Pick as many early-game preps as possible, and thank your lucky stars if you get to start out with {{i|Amulet of Yendor}}. Kill popcorn early and often for food, and leave a glyph or three on the ground for CP. Pay attention to god rotations and avoid punishments.

{{c|Rat Monarch}} - Practice this class without {{i|Bear Mace}}. Be ready to use gods to the fullest.

{{c|Chemist}} - Aside from being one of the newest classes, Health Form and Mana Form are devilishly tricky and turn end-game planning on its head. Be on the lookout for gods with refills; if there are none, you will want to achieve the highest XP level manageable with a level-up heal and some blackspace left over. Always remember that potions are largely expendable.

{{c|Vampire}} - Another sophisticated class. He depends greatly on blood cows and defensive stats.

=== General ===

'''Altars''' 
*Despite his sometimes debilitating random punishments, {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} is perhaps the best altar preparation / early worship deity (if available). The free {{s|WEYTWUT}} glyph offers a reliable way to de-clog the map; and the sheer power offered by his Boost Health/Mana boons help a lot with leveling; and the extra refills granted by Chaos Avatar and Last Chance help a lot during the boss fights. 
* {{g|Binlor Ironshield}} is an acceptable alternative to Jehora on cramped maps, especially [[Shifting Passages]] and [[The Labyrinth]]. While {{s|PISORF}} solves many problems, farming up {{s|ENDISWAL}} early is the safest bet, and the piety will easily earn itself back. On maps like [[Havendale Bridge]] and [[Berserker Camp]], though, the main bottleneck is indestructible and [[PISORF]]/[[ENDISWAL]] is unreliable. 
*{{g|The Earthmother}}, while being an excellent deity overall, will make you want to petrify plants and/or opponents. Be very careful not to wall yourself off by being over-zealous in pursuit of Earthmother piety. On mazelike maps like The Labyrinth or Shifting Passages just stay clear of her if possible. The Earthmother's Entanglement and Clearance boons are particularly helpful. 
* Although he offers no free glyph, the {{g|Glowing Guardian}} offers boons to boost Health and Mana like Jehora, as well as boons to refill; and perhaps most importantly, Humility helps with leveling and often makes reaching Level 11 stats possible, and it is one of most crucial boons for players aiming for the top of the XP leaderboard. 
* {{g|Taurog}} is a risky deity to worship full-time, since maps with a random boss have a chance to be physically resistant. On the other hand, he's always a safe piety farm, and Taurog's Sword can easily jump start a run if desired. Additional boons should wait for knowledge of all bosses to be safe, though, as the inventory slot and max MP losses will double-nerf your casting potential. The mean time is also great for clearing out Magic and Mana Burn enemies before joining Mystera or Undead before joining Dracul. 

'''Items''' 
* {{i|Namtar's Ward}} is a very safe preparation if available, the death protection it offers goes beyond its normal utility, and also helps prevent accidental losses ('misclicks'). It is also worth 100 CP when converted, which often outclasses lesser preparations options on its own. 
* The {{i|Amulet of Yendor}} can be very useful, helping to out-level monsters and take a lot of pressure off the leveling; alternatively, it can be preserved until the boss fight to trigger an extra mid-fight level-up. 
*Items that give you {{t|Slow Strike}} - like the {{i|Platemail}} or the {{i|Really Big Sword}} - should generally be avoided unless absolutely necessary. A lot of extra hazards are opened up by losing the first strike against lower-level opponents. 
*{{i|Patches}} is almost never worth it during a Daily. It can teleport the character into a very tight spot, either between tough monsters or even into completely walled-off areas. 

'''Other Preparations''' 
*Apothecary is a strong preparation in the dailies because the extended potion assortment can make up for the non-customizable potion kit. 
*Elite Items may be worth it just for the shot at having an Amulet of Yendor in store. If you manage to pair this with {{i|Translocation Seal}}, the item gained will likely be worth two preparation slots, especially if the alternative preparations are mediocre. 
*The Fireball Magnet preparation is extremely useful in the daily, as accessibility of the glyphs can be highly variable

=== Fastest Time ===

The default sorting order of the daily leaderboard is fastest time, making it one of the more competitive metrics.

* Your score is based on the time that the ''server'' receives confirmation of your victory, not the moment you slay the boss. As a result, you should finish the run the instant you land the killing blow to avoid racking up unnecessary extra time.
* Try to ramp up quickly, even if it means attacking sub-optimal monsters or using a potion early. While bonus experience is valuable and conserving resources is important, you need to weigh that against the time you spent looking for ideal victims.
* Be the proverbial tortoise, not the hare. If you click too quickly you're just likely to misclick and die. It's far more important to keep a steady pace and never stop.
* Always think and plan ahead. If you know what you're going to do, you won't waste time planning down the road.
* Skip subdungeons such as the [[Vegetarian Vampire]] that require careful consideration and planning.
* On easier difficulty dailies, the prime determinant of a good time is often how quickly you find the boss. Exploring the map swiftly is very important in these cases.
* Knowing exactly when to begin the boss battle can be very tricky. If you start too early you might undershoot it and fail to kill the boss, but if you keep leveling up you might be spending time for powers and abilities you don't need.

=== Most Experience ===

One of the most common challenges, Most Experience has a very different playstyle than fastest time. Where the former requires rapid exploration and targeting non-ideal enemies to keep pace, Most Experience requires you to carefully take your time and find the ideal enemies to maximize bonus experience. As a result, fast times usually perform poorly in the experience category and vice-versa. If you are pursuing one of these, you should decide which one before you begin the dungeon run.

* Earning bonus experience and finishing every monster in the dungeon are obviously important. Take your time to ramp up sensibly and find the ideal enemies.
* Obviously you want to kill every monster in the dungeon, if possible.
* Deity choice can be paramount to raising your experience earnings. The {{g|Glowing Guardian}} offers the Humility boon, reducing your level and increasing bonus experience. Both {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} and {{g|The Earthmother}} offer you ways to get bonus experience, with slow and petrification. {{g|Tikki Tooki}} offers Tikki's Edge, which over the long-term allows for lots of bonus experience. GG is best early and TT is good late in the run as long as you can farm a lot of piety while saving lots of popcorn. 
* {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} offers the chaos avatar boon which increases your level by one. Interestingly, if you are level 9 or below this does not count as experience earned, but if you're level 10 when you activate it then the bonus ''does'' count as experience earned. This makes Jehora a very powerful capstone for for most experience if you can manage it!
* If it's available, the {{s|ENDISWAL}} glyph is unmatched for its ability to boost your experience gain
* The {{i|Amulet of Yendor}} is a very good item to begin with, but if you're going for most experience there is almost never a situation you can be without it when it's available.
* Similarly, the {{i|Elite Items}} preparation could end up making Amulet of Yendor available for you. While it's not possible to know for sure, the items it grants are often very useful anyways so it's not a bad prep.

=== Most Damage ===

The third column, damage, has the fewest number of competitors. However, there are still a few who compete in this category and produce impressive scores.

* Try to level up while exploring as little as possible. You need as much healing as possible, so conserve blackspace.
* Once you're a decent level, begin fighting monsters but '''don't kill them''', simply leave and let them heal. Even better, if it's a {{m|Shade}} it will teleport away and lifesteal you later for overheal. A {{m|Vampire}} can also be knocked back into the unexplored territory to heal it.

=== Least Experience ===

An unofficial challenge, sorting by least experience is difficult to read since losing runs may be sorted above winning runs (and obviously suiciding at the 1st level is unimpressive). However, there are a small number of players who sometimes do compete for this metric, and it's surprisingly difficult to get. Least experience requires absolute minimalism, taking down the boss at a low level. Because many of their approaches are similar, it is possible to pursue both low experience and fast time simultaneously. Least experience is usually regarded as redundant with least damage, since with few exceptions gaining experience requires dealing damage to monsters.

One of the biggest challenges with a least experience run is that the boss(es) will award a large amount of bonus experience for having killed them. Using deity boons to increase your level can counter-act this, as the level increase provided by {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}} and {{g|Dracul}} ''do not'' count towards your total XP earned. This allows you to earn less bonus experience from killing the boss, making these gods absolutely mandatory for a lowest experience score.

Sometimes on particularly easy dailies players will achieve the absolute theoretical minimum possible experience. This, intriguingly, makes lowest experience the only metric where it's realistically possible to hit the theoretical "best" possible score. Below is a description of how to get the lowest possible experience in order to compete. The amount may vary depending on whether Dracul, Jehora Jeheyu, or both are present in the dungeon. The numbers are also slightly different for a {{c|Fighter}} due to the class having a modified XP table.

==== One Boss ====

This is the simplest case. You should always kill exactly 15 XP worth of monsters to reach 3rd level before slaying the boss. If Jehora Jeheyu and/or Dracul are available then activate Chaos Avatar and/or Blood Curse before killing the boss to reduce the bonus experience. If neither are available this results in a minimum value of 69. If only one is available you will end with 57 experience. If both are available you will end with 47 experience.

This approach is the same for the Fighter, but with slightly different values due to his different progression tables. You only require 13 experience rather than 15 to reach 3rd level, but you also gain 1 extra experience point when killing the boss. As a result, the Fighter's minimum experience is exactly 1 point lower than for the other classes in every case presented here.

==== Two Bosses ====

In this case, your approach differs slightly based on the deity availability.

If neither Dracul nor Jehora Jeheyu are present, then the lowest possible experience is 99. You must kill exactly 30 XP worth of monsters to reach 4th level before slaying the first boss. This earns you 42 experience for a total of 72, making you 5th level. Slay 3 XP worth of monsters to reach 75 experience and the 6th level, then slay the boss for 24 experience, totaling 99.

If either Dracul or Jehora Jeheyu are present, then the lowest possible experience is 86. Again, kill 30 XP worth of monsters to reach 4th level then activate your boon to reach 5th level. Slaying the boss will grant you 32 experience, raising you to 6th level with change. Then kill the second boss for 24 experience.

If both deities are present, then the lowest possible experience is 71. Kill exactly 5 XP worth of monsters to reach 2nd level, then activate both boons to promote to 4th level. Slaying the boss will grant you 42 experience, taking you to 6th level, then slaying the second boss awards 24 experience.

The approach with the Fighter is very similar regardless of which deities are available. Gain 13 experience to reach 3rd level. Activate any boons available to increase your level prior to fighting the first boss. Regardless of which combination (if any) of boons you used you will end up as a 6th level character after killing the first boss and should proceed to immediately slay the second boss. If neither god is available then this results in a minimum possible experience of 93, if only one is available your minimum is 81, and if both are available and used the minimum is 71.

==== Three Bosses ====

If neither JJ nor Dracul are available, then the lowest possible experience is 123. This works almost identically to the 2-boss scenario. Slay 6 additional XP worth of monsters after killing the second boss (reaching 7th level) then slay the final boss for 18 experience, totally 123.

== Infamous D.E.R.P.'s ==

Every D.E.R.P. to date has been winnable, with at least some players winning. However, a few have been notorious for their high difficulty or deadly traps.

'''March 14th 2015 - Half-Dragon in Magma Mines'''
The Half-Dragon runs into a problem with the magic-immune boss in this dungeon. His regular attack deals magic damage, and his only way to deal physical damage is with knockback. Normally this is only an inconvenience, but if the boss happens to be cornered by impassible tiles he can't be knocked back into anything, and knocking things into him can't deal a killing blow! While people who prepared Taurog were able to force him to move due to his cowardly trait, and some people figured out that the WHUPAZ potion can be used to deliver 1 point of damage after he has been sufficiently weakened to finish him, most people were faced with a situation that couldn't be won by any conventional means.

'''May 14th 2015 - Rat Monarch in Shifting Passages'''
The second highest mortality rate of any D.E.R.P. to date, only 8 players won this difficult dungeon. The randomized boss was Bleaty, which proved difficult for the Rat Monarch to actually land a hit against. Part of the difficulty was that the Enhanced Edition was relatively new, so players had not yet had much time to become accustomed to the Rat Monarch and Shifting Passages is one of the most difficult dungeons in rotation.

'''September 3rd 2015 - Goatperson in Rock Garden'''
The highest mortality rate of any D.E.R.P. to date, only 7 players won this difficult dungeon. There were very few monsters close to the entrance, however each corridor was blocked by plants. Initial piety generation was very difficult. Since Earthmother was one of the (non-replacable) altars, most players had to endure at least one of her punishments for clearing one of the corridors; players who did not prep the Wicked Guitar had to endure another. Most players simply starved to death on this one. Those few players who have won this DERP are believed to have read the spoilers posted on the qcfdesign forums.

Tinker: re-wrote parts to improve usefulness

{{stub}}

This page elaborates the algorithm used to populate the [[Items|Item]] shops. It can get a bit mathsy, though understanding the algorithm can help also to understand (and possibly improve) the odds of finding certain items. Also, for the [[D.E.R.P.]] challenges there is an additional consideration: given the uniform daily seed given to all players, the item spoilers sometimes posted on the [http://www.qcfdesign.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3|"qcfdesign forums"] can be used to predict how certain preparations will impact the shops' item pools. For new players, this page is probably a bit too much.

== The Algorithm ==

The shop algorithm in a nutshell is:

1. Start with a list of all potential items. 
2. If quest or elite preparations are chosen, then move those items to the front of the list. 
3. Remove prepared inventory items from the list. 
4. Let the length of the list now be n. 
5. Generate a random number in the interval [0, n^2). 
6. Take the square root of that number, round down, and subtract from n-1.This is the index of the chosen item. 
7. Remove the chosen item from the list. 
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for each additional shop. 

For normal dungeon runs, the potential item list is created by adding basic items, then unlocked quest items, then elite items.

For the DERPs, the potential item list contains all items (as would be the case for a kingdom which has unlocked every item, and does not veto any), and follows the same logic as non-Daily runs, i.e. basic items are still at the start, and elite items at the end. For a given DERP seed and a given length n, the generated random numbers will be identical, but the chosen items depend on the order of the list as affected by preparations, as well as any shop items picked for any preparations. If both quest and elite preparations are chosen, then whichever was last in the available preparations will be at the front of the list.

== The Item Lists ==

Each of the three item lists follow a specific sequence. So for example, the 8 basic items have an intrinsic ranking that gives their relative position within the "Basic Items" list; this intrinsic ranking never changes. So if the {{i|Health Pendant}} is always the first item on the Basic Items list, it will remain so even if the list itself is moved down due to Quest Items / Elite Items preparations. Consequently, if no items are vetoed (or in a DERP), the Health Pendant will be the 1st, 9th, 23rd or 31st item in the list (depending on whether neither Quest Items or Elite Items are prepped; only Elite Items is prepped; only Quest Items is prepped; or both Elite and Quest items are prepped).

The below chart shows the five possible itemlists (depending on which item group preparations are taken):

[[File:Itemlist.PNG|center|646px]]

The logic is, each item retains its intrinsic ranking within its item group; if neither Quest or Elite Items are prepared, the default order followed is Basic Items, then Quest Items, then Elite Items; if either item group preparations is used, it places the given item group at the start of the list, which is then followed by Basic Items and then the remaining item group; if both item group preparations are used, the prep order sequence is followed, putting first the group in the lower prep slot; then the group in the higher prep slot; and finally the remaining Basic Items.

== D.E.R.P. relevance ==

The random seed for the Daily contains a pre-selected shop item index list. However, which items will actually appear in the shops can change completely in light of what preparations are selected by each player for the given daily. It is important to note that even if a player posts complete item spoilers about their run, another player will only get the same items if he takes the same preparations. Relevant preparations: 
* Preparations "Quest Items" and "Elite Items" will alter the item list and so the same index will yield a different item; 
* Taking any of the 38 possible shop items as preparations may shift some of the indexes, as the random seed's floating point numbers may be rounded differently if fewer (or more) items are available; 
* The {{i|Shop Scroll}} spawns an additional shop, again with a pre-determined item index; 
* Any preparation that impacts the starting area - prepared altars, the Smuggler Den subdungeon - may also change the location of the shops, so although it will not change the overall items available, it may change which items appear in which shops. 

In light of the above explanations on how the item lists are populated, it is therefor possible to predict the impact of some preparations on the available items. Some rules of thumb: 
* If you prepare the same *number* of shop items, you can predict with certainty how Quest/Elite Items impact the shop items, because then the item indexes are the same, only modified by the item group preparations, and the rank of the items prepared (which are removed from the list before generating the shop items). 
* If you prepare *fewer* shop items, some items may "slide down" (i.e. give you the next item in the list instead). 
* If you prepare *more* shop items, some items may "slide up" (i.e. give you the previous item in the list instead). 

== Vetoing Items ==

[[Bazaar]] offers the possibility to veto up to 7 shop items (tying 4 slots to completing all the [[Class Challenges]] of each main guild, and 3 additional slots can be purchased in the [[Bank]]). Any items vetoed will be removed from the initial item lists before the master list is assembled based on the item group preparations. This allows a degree of control over the relative position of each item within its item group list; combined with the item group preparations Elite/Quest Items, the chances of finding certain specific items can be greatly increased. Important to note that your kingdom's Veto slots (or unlock progress, for that matter) does not impact the item lists for D.E.R.P.s! The Dailies always use the full item list (i.e. everything unlocked, nothing vetoed).

If you want to increase the likelihood of finding specific items in your dungeon runs, on top of picking the right Bazaar preparation (Quest/Elite Items if you're looking for items belonging to those groups, or Shop Scroll if you're looking for Basic Items or a combination of items from different groups), vetoing higher-ranked items (i.e. those with lower indexes) helps the most. Vetoing lower-ranked items (i.e. those with higher indexes) may or may not help, depending on the relative initial position of the item you want; as a rule of thumb, if your item is among the top 2/3 of items (this is normally a given if you could pick the relevant item group preparation), then your chances also improve a bit if you veto lower-ranked items; however, items in the bottom 1/3 of the list will actually have their chances to be found *reduced*, if items below them are vetoed!

For example, let's say you want to increase your chances of finding the {{i|Vampiric Blade}} item in a fully-unlocked kingdom, assuming 8 stores. 
* Without any preparations or vetoes, you will have 27.2% chance to find it. 
* If you prepare Shop Scroll, the chance goes up to 30.6%. 
* If you prepare Quest Items, the chance increases to 33.9%. 
* On the other hand, if you prepare Elite Items, your chances diminish to 19.6%. 
So the optimal Bazaar preparation is Quest Items, which can boost your chances by 6.7%. Vetoing items: 
* If you prepare Quest Items and veto the higher-ranked five Quest Items (Fire Heart, Hero's Helm, Battlemage Ring, Venom Dagger, Whurrgarbl), your chances go up to 42.6%; adding two more vetos (to reduce number of items) also helps, getting you 45%. 
* If you want to play purist, you can still veto items to help your odds. In this case, vetoing as many as possible Basic Items and/or some of the five quest items mentioned above helps the most. You get a 38.7% chance this way if you veto 7 items, so actually better than just with quest items prep without any vetoes. 

=== Selective Unlocks ===

You may choose not to unlock certain items in your kingdom. These items will then never appear in shops, however, this may improve the chances of finding other items. A word of advice: do not do this for your first kingdom; every single shop item is good for something (and outright awesome for some specific runs), and learning to use each item greatly improves your skill as a Desktop Dungeons player. It can be, however, a fun way to "rig" the shop pool of a subsequent / alternative kingdom, greatly improving the odds of certain items.

Unlocking Elite Items is tied to the Bazaar upgrade and happens in a batch; and doing so also gives 2 extra shops and opens up the Quest/Elite Items preparations (as well as the possibility to have veto slots at all). Add to this that due to the square-root formula used to populate the shops, Elite Items will normally appear very infrequently, the net result is, that there is virtually no benefit in not upgrading Bazaar to Level 3 as soon as possible.

That said, since Quest Items can be unlocked individually, there is a lot of leeway to exercise selective unlocks by picking & choosing which quests you do. To illustrate the impact on probabilities, let's assume that in an alternate kingdom you only have a single Quest Item unlocked, the {{i|Vampiric Blade}}. Assuming Level 3 Bazaar and 8 shops, the odds to find it in a shop is: 
* You have a base 52% chance to find it in store. 
* Preparing Quest Items improves the chance to 72%. 
* Having some items vetoed (maximum 3 is possible without the other class challenges) helps a bit, pushing chances up to 81.6% if you have prepped Quest Items. 
* If you play purist, vetoing 3 Basic Items gives you 69.8% chance (almost as good as the Quest Items prep). 

Needless to say, as different builds/maps/runs require different items, and it is very true that no item is overall weak, it is very difficult to use selective unlocking for anything other than a refreshing experience. Even though individual item chances can be increased this way, it pretty much commits the whole kingdom to this specific "rig", whereas a fully upgraded kingdom can use a combination of 1) re-shuffled veto slots, 2) proper item group preparation, and 3) lots of available gold being able to fuel many attempts, to eventually guarantee finding the right item(s) for any run.

Also, needless to say, there are very few maps/challenges in Desktop Dungeons that would even require the player to think about rigging shops. Everything can be won in the game without ever worrying about this.

Subdungeons

2015-12-22T16:30:12Z

Tinker: /* Non-repeatable Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 [[gold]] piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

HORRIBLENESS: 8/10 - not as bad as being afflicted with CONSTANT GOATS (see pg 34)

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Tinker:

Chemist

2015-12-16T22:13:41Z

Tinker: /* Class Features */

== Class Features ==

'''ADDITIVES''': Start with BYSSEPS, which can be cast for stacking bonus damage, but the mana cost doubles each cast. Furthermore, each casting of BYSSEPS gives +1 base damage on top of the normal +30% attack bonus.

'''PRESERVATIVES''': Extra potion shops.

'''COLOURANTS''': Potions have strange side effects. Health and Mana potions only restore 10% of your health instead of the usual 40%. Drinking a health or mana potion puts you in a form with double regeneration based on that potions type, but will also prevent you from regenerating the other. Your form resets to normal on level up (or when you drink any potion).

== Unlocking ==

The Chemist class requires the Enhanced Edition of Desktop Dungeons.
You will find him in a medium sized sub dungeon surrounded by lava. Contains a passive creature called "A What?" which when talked to, simply says it wants you to retrieve something. A meatman of your current level is in the subdungeon and a few walls. Breaking/Mining/Destroying the walls will uncover an unidentified rock item. Pick it up and return it to "A What?" to complete the subdungeon. As a reward, this subdungeon unlocks the Chemist class for future play.

== Races ==

=== Orc ===
The Chemist can acquire a huge damage bonus very easily, even at level 1, so the Orc Chemist is a no-brainer. Convert items early on to easily kill high-level foes.

=== Goblin ===
The Chemist can't use health and mana potions to spike damage against a boss, so mid-fight level ups are very important. Still, the Orc is probably more useful.

Avoid taking the Gnome or Halfling, because their extra potions won't help much against the boss.

== Strategy ==

Like the Warlord, the Chemist's bonuses are almost completely defined by one glyph, {{s|BYSSEPS}}. Spending six mana gives you a 60% bonus to your next attack, and if you spend another 8 mana you can make that 90%. Since all this mana can be recovered before combat starts, you can easily score higher-level kills against low-health monsters to level up. You can use it again for a second hit if you haven't found another damage glyph. Just be mindful of your blackspace consumption, and be careful not to waste your charged-up hit clearing popcorn out of your way. Consider killing some lower level enemies right after leveling up just to use up some of your spare health.

BYSSEPS stacking isn't quite as effective against bosses, though you should still use it for the first hit. Hopefully you'll get there with enough untouched popcorn for a mid-fight level up.

Ideal glyphs for the Chemist are those which allow him to land two hits against an enemy he could otherwise only hit once; {{s|WEYTWUT}}, {{s|GETINDARE}} and {{s|CYDSTEPP}} (though again, beware your blackspace consumption). {{s|IMAWAL}} is also good since you want to score high-level kills early on. Any items which boost your health or base damage are valuable, especially early on. The {{i|Trisword}} and {{i|Alchemist Scroll}} are particularly good since your potions aren't very useful when killing the boss.

Speaking of which, Colourants is usually a weakness in disguise. Your health and mana potions are almost useless for spiking damage, and without good planning the alternate forms are a hinderance. Once your health or mana is regenerated to full the other one still won't regenerate at all, and the only way to get rid of it besides leveling up is to spend another potion to switch to the other form. Health form is almost useless since the Chemist has nothing else that boosts regen fighting without spending mana. Mana form is a little more useful since the Chemist often wants to pump a lot of mana into BYSSEPS (and possibly CYDSTEPP) while his health is already full, but even then you should only use potions for the last big monster you kill before leveling up. Don't be afraid to just convert them to please deities or spend them early to power up items. Other potions, most notably the {{i|Schadenfreude Potion}}, still work as normal, and you'll be able to pick up extras thanks to Preservatives.

== Deities ==

{{g|Binlor Ironshield}}: Unlike for everyone else, the {{t|Might}} from Stone Form stacks with the might from your glyph, and does so without raising the BYSSEPS glyph's cost; this turns {{s|PISORF}} into an extra layer of might for only 4 mana on top of its damage abilities. Stone Skin is also great for surviving extra hits to score high-level kills or finish off a boss, and PISORF gets enemies out of your path without wasting your might. Since you have no natural resistances there's no need to keep your piety above zero; just cast PISORF or ENDISWALL a couple times whenever you want to buy a boon.

{{g|Glowing Guardian}}, {{g|Dracul}}, {{g|Jehora Jeheyu}}: Since your potions won't do you much good against the boss, the health and mana restoration boons from these deities are especially valuable. Converting your potions for piety, Jehora's early boons and to avoid their dislikes isn't a big loss. Cleansing from the Glowing Guardian can also let you apply your great physical might into kills against magic-resistant enemies (especially high level wraiths); combine it with fireballs rather than going for a second hit.

{{g|The Earthmother}}: The Chemist is very good at killing monsters 2-3 levels above him for bonus XP. Entanglement makes this even easier and {{s|IMAWAL}} increases the payout (at the cost of even more blackspace), making the Earthmother an obvious choice. Later, Clearance is good against the bosses for all the reasons mentioned for the above deities.

{{g|Tikki Tooki}}: Since the Chemist likes to kill high level enemies in 2-3 hits and can afford to ignore a lot of popcorn, you shouldn't have much trouble gaining piety with Tikki Tooki and most of his boons will be pretty useful. Reflexes is especially good since health potions are otherwise nearly useless, though the second hit from the Reflex potion won't have any levels of might.

{{g|Mystera Annur}}: The only boons she offers that a Chemist would want are Magic and Refreshement, and even those aren't ideal unless the boss is very resistant to physical damage. Still, you'll be spending lots of mana as you explore so piety gain is easy.

The only god who is really bad is {{g|Taurog}}, since repeated use of BYSSEPS will upset him a lot. Skullpicker is not enough to make up for that.

Subdungeons

2015-12-16T21:55:15Z

Tinker: /* Repeatable Regular Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 [[gold]] piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

Though this gorgon has never been sighted, adventurers are advised to stay away from regions of densely-clustered signposts, especially if they happen to contain any warnings about gorgons.

|The Adventurer's Cookbook
Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

Entry #427: Common Farm Goat
Four-legged, barely-domesticated animal occasionally bred for its milk and meat. Distinguishing traits include medium to long horns (both males and females), prominent 'beards' and short, upward-pointing tails.

Entry #428: Common Dungeon Goat
Four-legged, recently wild animal sought after as a trophy kill. Distinguishing traits include hatred-filled eyes, natural magic resistance and a tendency to seek out and murder adventurers.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

HORRIBLENESS: 8/10 - not as bad as being afflicted with CONSTANT GOATS (see pg 34)

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Tinker:

Is the no subdungeon thing true for any version? There are subdungeons on the iOS and web versions.

"The Cursed Shade drops the Dragon Soul item when slain"

I've tested the Cursed Oasis in Enhanced Edition with two classes, and the Cursed Shade no longer drops the Dragon Soul item when slain. Also, the Dragon Soul appears red, not purple.

Re: there used to be a bug during Enhanced Edition development, where some of the palette-swap items showed reverted colors. This was fixed in one of the later patches. I recommend making sure your game can receive update patches (whether steam or gog version) to get the latest patched version of the game. (Also I just did a quick CO run to test, and the Cursed Shade dropped the proper Dragon Soul... This might be a version thing too, or it may be somehow linked to whether you have the item unlocked or not, because in previous version this was actually one of the ways to unlock Dragon Soul.)

Tinker: /* Unlisted Items */

{{TOC right}}
 

There are a total of 117 items in Desktop Dungeons. Out of these, 74 are lockerable using the Guild's lockers, and as such can be taken into dungeon runs as an extra preparation. The in-game Codex lists 112 items (5 of the items do not have a Codex entry). Note that the codex erroneously tracks progression against 114 items, so a fully explored kingdom will list 112/114 items in the codex. Kingdoms started before March 2015 will most likely only list 109/114 items, as the release of the Enhanced Edition wiped all previous Codex entries, and three of the items are tied to early-game quests that can only be encountered during the beginner quests.

There are up to 38 items that can show up in the dungeon shops. These items belong to one of three shop item groups:
* all 8 Basic Items are available as soon as Bazaar is unlocked, and remain to be the most frequently encountered item type even later on;
* the 22 Quest Items only become available once they are individually unlocked through their respective quests, and are normally rarer than the Basic Items;
* the 8 Elite Items become available as a batch once Bazaar is upgraded to Level 3, though normally remain quite rare finds.

Bazaar offers preparations that can alter the chances of each item group showing up in the shops.

For more information on the shop algorithm, check out the [[Shop Spawn]] page.

These '''8''' items are available in shops once you find the Gate Scroll and build the first level of Bazaar in your kingdom. They can be put in your Guild Locker.

== Elite ==

The Following '''8''' items become available in shops after you upgrade the Bazaar building in your kingdom to lvl 3. You can increase the odds of finding them in shops by using the "Elite Items" preparation. They can be placed in your Guild Locker after a run, and some can be found in various subdungeons, taken out and lockered "out of order".

= Items Found In Dungeons =

== Subdungeon Items ==

These items are most often found in subdungeons and class challenge runs, and are not available for purchase in shops on regular runs. They come in two main categories, ones you can put in your Guild Locker and then use as preparations, and ones you can't. Some we're still unclear on in that regard, so feel free to contribute to that investigation.

== Dungeon Boss Rewards ==

The following 6 items can be obtained by defeating tough bosses, and generally can't be found in dungeons otherwise. The Sensation Stone is a bit of an exception, in that it's obtained by killing an optional mini-boss and one can be found in the Tower of Gaan'Telet, but it's somewhat similar to the others. They can all be put into the Guild Locker.

== God Items with Codex Entries ==

These 5 items can only be obtained by worshiping Taurog (4) and Glowing Guardian (1). Glowing Guardian can change the prayer beads, but the activated form doesn't have a codex entry, and none of these items can be put in a guild locker.

= Conversion Fodder =
Sometimes, players will want to obtain large amounts of conversion points to better leverage their racial bonus. There are many items well-known as "conversion fodder" that are relatively cheap and effective choices for this purpose. Generally speaking, conversion fodder items are considered to be those which offer more than 3 CP for every 1 GP spent. The following items are all considered conversion fodder:

{{i|Bloody Sigil}} (5.6 CP / GP) 
This double-edged item is good for low-level characters, but quickly becomes excess baggage for a high-level character. Fortunately, it has a great conversion value and is worth buying for no other purpose than to immediately convert it.

{{i|Gloves of Midas}} (4.5 CP / GP) 
In addition to offering a superb conversion ratio, this item can also be used to ''earn'' additional gold which can be used to purchase even more stuff. As a result, it is highly prized.

{{i|Rock Heart}} (4.3 CP / GP) 
The Rock Heart is a great tool for anyone with knockback damage, the {{s|PISORF}} glyph or the {{s|ENDISWAL}} glyph. Once you're done with it, you can convert it for a windfall. For those without the ability to crush walls, it's still worthwhile just for conversion points.

{{i|Viper Ward}} & {{i|Soul Orb}} (4.06 CP / GP) 
These superb items grant you immunity to dangerous afflictions, consume only a small item slot, and convert for large amounts of CP when you're done. They're one of the best conversion-fodder buys around.

{{i|Balanced Dagger}} (3.67 CP / GP) 
A very niche item, usually relegated to vicious-difficulty dungeons where higher-level kills are impractical or for players without ''mad level-catapult skills'' like the pros have. However, in other scenarios it makes a good conversion fodder item. With its small size, you can carry it around and use it for what it's worth, then convert it when you're done.

{{i|Troll Heart}} (3.44 CP / GP) 
The troll heart will slowly accrue bonus HP as you level up, and can be converted afterwards without losing those hit points. Given its high CP value, this is often a great deal.

{{i|Crystal ball}} (3.33 CP / GP) 
Given enough gold, the crystal ball can provide you several good mana spikes and can be converted afterward for good conversion value.

{{i|Venom Dagger}} (3.12 CP / GP) 
A consolation prize for those seeking conversion points, the venom sword offers a reasonable amount for a reasonable price. The item itself isn't very useful otherwise, though.

{{i|Alchemist Scroll}} (3.07 CP / GP) 
The rules for items like these can be confusing at times, but the alchemist scroll's bonus HP do not disappear when you convert it, meaning this item can be picked up on the cheap, used sparingly, then converted later without much risk.

{{stub}}

This page elaborates the algorithm used to populate the [[Items]] shops. It can get a bit mathsy, though understanding the algorithm can help also to understand the odds of finding certain items; also, should it be needed, it can help with improving the odds of finding certain items. For new players, this page is probably a bit too much.

The shop algorithm in a nutshell is:

1. Start with a list of all potential items. 
2. If quest or elite preparations are chosen, then move those items to the front of the list. 
3. Remove prepared inventory items from the list. 
4. Let the length of the list now be n. 
5. Generate a random number in the range 0 to n^2. 
6. Take the square root of that number, round down, and subtract from n-1.This is the index of the chosen item. 
7. Remove the chosen item from the list. 
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for each additional shop. 

For normal dungeon runs, the potential item list is created by adding basic items, then unlocked quest items, then elite items.

For the DERPs, the potential item list is a fixed list containing all items, but the basic items are still at the start, and elite items at the end. For a given DERP seed and a given length n, the generated random numbers will be identical, but the chosen items depend on the order of the list as affected by preparations. If both quest and elite preparations are chosen, then whichever was last in the available preparations will be at the front of the list.

Items

2015-12-06T19:27:15Z

Tinker: wrote an overview section

{{TOC right}}
 

There are a total of 117 items in Desktop Dungeons. Out of these, 74 are lockerable using the Guild's lockers, and as such can be taken into dungeon runs as an extra preparation. The in-game Codex lists 112 items (5 of the items do not have a Codex entry). Note that the codex erroneously tracks progression against 114 items, so a fully explored kingdom will list 112/114 items in the codex. Kingdoms started before March 2015 will most likely only list 109/114 items, as the release of the Enhanced Edition wiped all previous Codex entries, and three of the items are tied to early-game quests that can only be encountered during the beginner quests.

There are up to 38 items that can show up in the dungeon shops. These items belong to one of three shop item groups:
* all 8 Basic Items are available as soon as Bazaar is unlocked, and remain to be the most frequently encountered item type even later on;
* the 22 Quest Items only become available once they are individually unlocked through their respective quests, and are normally rarer than the Basic Items;
* the 8 Elite Items become available as a batch once Bazaar is upgraded to Level 3, though normally remain quite rare finds.

Bazaar offers preparations that can alter the chances of each item group showing up in the shops.

For more information on the shop algorithm, check out the [[Shop Spawn]] page.

= Items Available in Shops =

== Basic ==

These '''8''' items are available in shops once you find the Gate Scroll and build the first level of Bazaar in your kingdom. They can be put in your Guild Locker.

The following '''22''' items are available in the shops once you unlock them by completing either their respective quests present on the Adventuring Map, their associated Puzzle Packs, or their respective Silver Class Challenges. You can increase your chance of finding them in shops afterwards using the "Quest Items" preparation from the Lvl 2 Bazaar building.

== Elite ==

The Following '''8''' items become available in shops after you upgrade the Bazaar building in your kingdom to lvl 3. You can increase the odds of finding them in shops by using the "Elite Items" preparation. They can be placed in your Guild Locker after a run, and some can be found in various subdungeons, taken out and lockered "out of order".

== Subdungeon Items ==

These items are most often found in subdungeons and class challenge runs, and are not available for purchase in shops on regular runs. They come in two main categories, ones you can put in your Guild Locker and then use as preparations, and ones you can't. Some we're still unclear on in that regard, so feel free to contribute to that investigation.

== Dungeon Boss Rewards ==

The following 6 items can be obtained by defeating tough bosses, and generally can't be found in dungeons otherwise. The Sensation Stone is a bit of an exception, in that it's obtained by killing an optional mini-boss and one can be found in the Tower of Gaan'Telet, but it's somewhat similar to the others. They can all be put into the Guild Locker.

= Conversion Fodder =
Sometimes, players will want to obtain large amounts of conversion points to better leverage their racial bonus. There are many items well-known as "conversion fodder" that are relatively cheap and effective choices for this purpose. Generally speaking, conversion fodder items are considered to be those which offer more than 3 CP for every 1 GP spent. The following items are all considered conversion fodder:

{{i|Bloody Sigil}} (5.6 CP / GP) 
This double-edged item is good for low-level characters, but quickly becomes excess baggage for a high-level character. Fortunately, it has a great conversion value and is worth buying for no other purpose than to immediately convert it.

{{i|Gloves of Midas}} (4.5 CP / GP) 
In addition to offering a superb conversion ratio, this item can also be used to ''earn'' additional gold which can be used to purchase even more stuff. As a result, it is highly prized.

{{i|Rock Heart}} (4.3 CP / GP) 
The Rock Heart is a great tool for anyone with knockback damage, the {{s|PISORF}} glyph or the {{s|ENDISWAL}} glyph. Once you're done with it, you can convert it for a windfall. For those without the ability to crush walls, it's still worthwhile just for conversion points.

{{i|Viper Ward}} & {{i|Soul Orb}} (4.06 CP / GP) 
These superb items grant you immunity to dangerous afflictions, consume only a small item slot, and convert for large amounts of CP when you're done. They're one of the best conversion-fodder buys around.

{{i|Balanced Dagger}} (3.67 CP / GP) 
A very niche item, usually relegated to vicious-difficulty dungeons where higher-level kills are impractical or for players without ''mad level-catapult skills'' like the pros have. However, in other scenarios it makes a good conversion fodder item. With its small size, you can carry it around and use it for what it's worth, then convert it when you're done.

{{i|Troll Heart}} (3.44 CP / GP) 
The troll heart will slowly accrue bonus HP as you level up, and can be converted afterwards without losing those hit points. Given its high CP value, this is often a great deal.

{{i|Crystal ball}} (3.33 CP / GP) 
Given enough gold, the crystal ball can provide you several good mana spikes and can be converted afterward for good conversion value.

{{i|Venom Dagger}} (3.12 CP / GP) 
A consolation prize for those seeking conversion points, the venom sword offers a reasonable amount for a reasonable price. The item itself isn't very useful otherwise, though.

{{i|Alchemist Scroll}} (3.07 CP / GP) 
The rules for items like these can be confusing at times, but the alchemist scroll's bonus HP do not disappear when you convert it, meaning this item can be picked up on the cheap, used sparingly, then converted later without much risk.

Vicious Gaan-Telet

2015-12-02T20:19:48Z

Tinker: re-wrote parts to improve usefulness

__NOTOC__

[[File:Gaan-talet.JPG|frame]]

Vicious Gaan-Talet is the ultimate dungeon in Desktop Dungeons. It is a souped-up version of the [[Tower of Gaan-Telet]], and is unlocked by completing the [[#Oh, Horatio!|Oh, Horatio!]] quest.

== Overview ==

The exterior of Gaan-Talet contains the shops, glyphs, and boosters of a normal dungeon. There are no altars (on the outside), and there is no normal subdungeon, although the Smuggler's Den will appear if you prep it. Ordinary monsters from level 1-7 appear on the outside; there are no level 8+ monsters or bosses on the outside. The inside of the tower begins revealed.

To complete Gaan-Talet, you must enter a series of special subdungeons inside the tower. Once all enemies in each level are defeated, the next becomes available.

=== Monsters ===

The dungeon will host all unlocked basic monsters (as well as some special monsters, see below). Monster difficulty on the courtyard (main map) is 100%.

The towers get progressively more difficult, each having a cumulative +10% difficulty. i.e. first tower is +10%, second is +20%, all the way to +90% in tower 9 of Vicious Gaan-Telet.

If you prepare the Vicious Token, it will overwrite all of these monster stat bonuses with the usual +60% Attack / +100% Health, making the courtyard and the earlier towers significantly more difficult; but later towers not necessarily so. Horatio only gets the attack boost, his health remains unaltered even with the Vicious Token.

=== Boss ===

The final boss is the {{m|Goat}}-shaped '''Horatio the Immortal'''. Despite his form, he does a relatively modest 75 damage; however, he has 5000 HP, Physical and Magical restances of 50%, and Berserks at 50%.

== Special Rules ==

The stairs to the first tower subdungeon are accessible from the start. However, in order for the stairs of the next tower to be revealed, all five monsters must be defeated in the previous tower.

Each of the nine altars are accessible once the stairs to its respective tower is revealed. Any altars prepared (or granted by the Martyr ability) appear in the courtyard as an extra copy of the given altar. Furthermore, a special copy of the currently worshipped altar spawns close to the tower entrance. So it is possible to have up to three copies of the same altar. Any deities not yet unlocked will not spawn an altar (their tower will still show up, just without the altar).

=== Subdungeons ===

Unlike the Hard version of the dungeon, the Vicious version has all 9 towers; and each must be cleared to access the tenth tower where Horatio resides.

Each subdungeon is a small level, initially unexplored, containing several tough monsters (one of which is exotic), an altar, and a exotic, useful item. This means that every unlocked altar will eventually be available. To make life even harder, most levels will give you some kind of penalty when you first enter. (A few, including the first, do not.) You can travel freely between the current subdungeon, previous subdungeons, and the exterior.

The first, second, and third subdungeons contain monsters of level 8, 9, and 10, respectively. The 10th level monsters are not bosses, simply scaled-up monsters (for instance, the 10th level Goo Blob has Physical Resistance of only 50%, not 75%). Subdungeons 4-9 also have 10th-level monsters; on each level, the monsters get a progressively larger Health and Attack bonus.

The monsters in the subdungeons are - similarly to bosses - immune to the instant kill effects of Slayer Wand, IMAWAL or the Glowing Guardan's Absolution boon.

=== Penalties ===

These will occur in a random order when you first enter each subdungeon.

*The subdungeon is completely revealed when you enter, providing no exploration healing.
*All monsters in this subdungeon gain {{t|No Experience}}.
*All monsters in this subdungeon gain {{t|Bloodless}} (Lifesteal doesn't work, and they don't leave a blood pool.)
*All monsters in this subdungeon gain {{t|First Strike}}.
*All monsters in this subdungeon gain {{t|Retaliate: Fireball}}.
*You are afflicted with {{t|Poisoned}}, {{t|Mana Burned}} and one stack each of {{t|Weakened}} and {{t|Corrosion}}.
*You gain three stacks of {{t|Cursed}}.

There are also (up to) three subdungeons that do not give any penalty. So there are a possible 10 penalty events (the 7 penalties and 3 no penalty results), and one is chosen for each tower. Which means that in a lucky case, one of the penalties listed above will not be encountered. The first subdungeon will always have a "no penalty" event.

=== Exotic Monsters and Items ===

Again, these will occur in a random order; however, the monsters and items are linked.

*Goblin Miner (Knockback, Mana burn) with 2 Wall Crushers. The Wall Crushers may be used to break edge walls to give access to 1-2 extra tiles, or may be converted for 25 CP each.
*Dancing Sword (1 Death Protection/level, Blink) with the sword "Penance". Penance grants 2 base attack and 1 base mana, but grants a penalty of 1 base attack and mana if you convert it from inventory. Converting right from the ground does not induce the penalty.
*Burn Viper (Blink, Mana burn) with a Cracked Amulet (when consumed, 5 XP).
*Golden Statue (1 damage only, but has No XP, a lot of hit points, Weakening Blow, and Corrodes) with the Long Rant (when consumed, afflicts 3 stacks of Corroded on all enemies on the level).
*Gelatinous Thing (Retaliate: Fireball) with Nom Nom (when consumed, poisons you but acts as a health booster).
*Bridge Troll(50% Physical and Magic Resist, Fast Regen, Berserk at 50%) with a Sensation Stone (convert for 150 CP). The Bridge Troll is one of the more difficult monsters, but it drops a second Sensation Stone, making this a mixed blessing level.
*Dragon Elite (50% Magic Resist, Poisonous, Curse Bearer) with a Compression Seal
*Illusion (50% Physical Resist, Weakening Blow, Retaliate: Fireball) with the Ritual Scroll (when consumed, +1 Mana and +5% Physical and Magic Resist, but 3 stacks of Cursed).
*Immortal Yin (no XP) with Yang's Sword (small, +3 damage, consume for a level of Death Protection). This is one of the best pairings to find, because Yin is not difficult and the item is small provides a good power boost.

== Strategy ==

Although Vicious Gaan-Telet is similar to its hard version, it requires a unique strategy. Vicious Gaan-Telet has a number of challanges unique to this map, and a successful strategy will have an answer to all of these: 
* There is a shortage of blackspace. An average tower will have maybe 40 black tiles, and require you to defeat five very tough monsters. 
* The monsters in later towers can deal very high damage. For example, a tower 9 Warlock will deal 192 damage. 
* You will be afflicted several times with {{t|Poisoned}}, {{t|Mana Burned}}, {{t|Weakened}}, {{t|Corrosion}} and {{t|Cursed}}. 
* The final boss is very durable - without bypassing its 50% resistances, it takes 10 000 points of damage to kill it. 

So all things considered, Vicious Gaan-Telet is an endurance run that requires you to be able to defeat lots of very tough monsters with very limited resrouces and several malicious afflictions. So most successful builds will have high {{t|physical resist}}; {{t|sanguine}}; and high damage.

=== Race ===

The recommended races are {{r|Human}} or {{r|Orc}}. These races allow you to boost your damage, which is essential to reducing the number of hits you need to take from monsters. {{r|Dwarves}} can also work for some builds, though are generally more difficult to play. Unfortunately the other races don't have much to offer in this endurance environment.

=== Class ===

The easiest class to beat Vicious Gaan-Telet with is the {{c|Vampire}}. Other good picks include the {{c|Crusader}} who can ignore a lot of the malicious afflictions; and the {{c|Rogue}} whose {{t|Dodge}} and {{t|First Strike}} trait make her surprisingly efficient in melee.

=== Worship ===

The best deities to worship in Vicious Gaan-Telet are: 
*{{g|Taurog}} is a surprisingly good initial deity, because his boons can provide both resistances and bonus damage. 
*{{g|Glowing Guardian}} offers bonus damage and health through Humility (and is often worth converting through just for that one boon); though he also offers Cleansing and Protection, a few shots of which can help a lot in dealing with mana burn / poison and giving a little extra help for a level-up. 
*{{g|Dracul}} is arguably the single best deity for Vicious Gaan-Telet, offering both Sanguine and resistances. While his quirkiness makes him better to convert into late-game to reap his many benefits, he is the most critical of the deities. 
*{{g|The Pactmaker}} offers Body Pact to round up resistances as needed, though it is more expensive than either Tarog's or Dracul's boons. Only get it when you will not lose much Piety on it (resistances are capped). 

A successful VGT run can easily use all four of these deities (for example, starting in Taurog for his resistance/damage boosts; then tripping through Glowing Guardian for Humility; then ending up in Dracul for Blood Shield and Blood Tithe; and taking Body Pact when needed for extra resists).

An honorable mentions is {{g|Binlor Ironshield}}, who can function as a generous source of piety, and can therefor be used in conjunction with the Pactmaker to build a high level of resistances. This is the recommended approach for the {{c|Rat Monarch}}, who finds it difficult to keep a lot of resistance-increasing items in their inventory.

=== Shop Items ===

Some items to keep an eye out for in Vicious Gaan-Telet: 
*{{i|Soul Orb}} is really useful to avoid Mana Burn. 
*{{i|Viper Ward}} is only needed if you don't have HALPMEH. But in that case it can be very useful. 
*{{i|Tower Shield}} can give much-coveted physical resistance, and can help get close to the resist cap. 
*{{i|Platemail}} is a good item to increase durability, though bear in mind that damage reduction happens before resistances are considered. 
*{{i|Vampiric Blade}} gives you a layer of Lifesteal without having to sacrafice maximum resistances. 
*{{i|Martyr Wraps}} helps immensely with the boss fight. 
*{{i|Stone Sigil}} can give a steady piety flow thanks to the large number of monsters available. 
*{{i|Troll Heart}}, if purchased early, can give a bit of extra help, and then a bit of extra CP when converted at L10. 
*{{i|Gloves of Midas}} can help earn more gold to purchase more conversion fodder. 
*{{i|Dragon Soul}} extends the amount of spells the character can cast. 
*Anything that increases damage - like the {{i|Fine Sword}}, {{i|Hero's Helm}} or the {{i|Badge of Honour}} - is worth a consideration. 

Other than these, items that give a good conversion value can become useful purchases.

=== Preparations ===

'''Alchemist''' 
*{{i|Compression Seal}} is recommended as inventory space can become very tight. 

'''Bazaar''' 
*The extra Apothecaries preparation is a prudent safeguard against the many afflictions of VGT. 
*Quest Items may be worth it for some builds as most of the items that are really good for VGT belong to this group. 

'''Blacksmith''' 
*{{i|Perseverance Badge}} gives damage bonus for a small slot item, and is arguably the best blacksmith preparation for VGT. 
*{{i|Bear Mace}} takes up more space and its use is more conditional, however the damage bonus it gives is also greater. 
*{{i|Really Big Sword}} is a reliable way to pierce Horatio's resistances, however not all builds can afford the drawback of having slow strike.

'''Church''' 
*{{g|Taurog}} is a good starting deity for most general strategies. 
*{{g|Glowing Guardian}} is a good alternative for more glyph-dependent builds, especially those that start with high resists.
*{{g|The Earthmother}} can be worth in some cases because preparing her altar means two separate altars will be present on the map, and both can be desecrated. 

'''Guild''' 
*{{i|Dragon Shield}} is the most commonly used preparation thanks to the huge resistance bonus it gives. 
*{{i|Platemail}} is a good alternative for those builds who don't mind having slow strike. 
*{{i|Draining Blade}} is an interesting choice; although it requires an immediate corrosion clear, it leaves open the possibility of finding a Vampiric Blade, which together give the character two levels of Lifesteal without having to compromise on resistances. 

'''Mage Tower''' 
*Extra Attack Boosters is almost always the best preparation. Some specific builds may benefit from one of the other two boosters, though. 

'''Thieves Guild''' 
*{{i|Patches}} introduces a degree of randomness that is not welcome, however the benefits it gives can be huge, so most runs will risk taking him. 
*An alternative can be Black Market, given how money can buy at least more conversion points. 
*Builds relying heavily on blackspace may benefit from Smuggler Den instead. 

'''Witch''' 
*{{i|Burn Salve}} and {{i|Fortitude Tonic}} are very useful given the amount of afflictions present in VGT. 
*{{i|Can of Whuppaz}} shortens the boss fight considerably. 
*{{i|Schadenfreude Potion}} will almost always be useful, though the basic Health and Mana potions should also not be underestimated for their ability to clear Poison/Mana Burn. 

=== Glyphs ===

Most glyphs will end up being converted thanks to the shortage of inventory space, and the need for extra damage. There are some glyphs that can be very useful, though, and picking the right glyphs to keep can mean the difference between victory and defeat. 
*{{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} is an effective way to round up damage and finish a monster; and it is especially useful against the Dancing Blade. It is recommended to keep it at least until that monster is defeated. 
*{{s|HALPMEH}} greatly extends melee potential, and can also cure Poison. One of the best glyphs to keep until converting into Dracul. 
*{{s|GETINDARE}} is a really effective way to finish monsters, and is a great way to conserve resources. Excellent glyph. 
*{{s|BYSSEPS}} is not very useful during most of the run, but can be very effective in stripping Horatio's resistances. It is often worthwhile to keep it on the floor, and pick it up for the boss fight. 
*{{s|CYDSTEPP}} is a bit expensive, but can be very useful to land a killing blow. 
*{{s|WONAFYT}} is a bit counterintuitive, but especially on the bigger tower maps it can be a good way to conserve blackspace. 
Most other glyphs can be converted on sight. Keep in mind though that different characters may also find some other glyphs useful. Builds relying heavily on Knockback would benefit from keeping {{s|WEYTWUT}}; builds that require lots of blackspace could access a few extra tiles with {{s|LEMMISI}}; etc.

Subdungeons

2015-11-29T21:00:19Z

Tinker: /* Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 [[gold]] piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

The creature perished, and her body felt a sudden pureness again ..."

Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Subdungeons

Tinker: /* Non-repeatable Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 gold piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

|The Adventurer's Cookbook
Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

HORRIBLENESS: 8/10 - not as bad as being afflicted with CONSTANT GOATS (see pg 34)

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Subdungeons

2015-10-31T10:04:51Z

Tinker: /* Repeatable Regular Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 gold piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

The creature perished, and her body felt a sudden pureness again ..."

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

HORRIBLENESS: 8/10 - not as bad as being afflicted with CONSTANT GOATS (see pg 34)

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Subdungeons

Tinker: /* Non-repeatable Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

Killing the last form spawns the altar of Tikki Tooki; touch it to immediately start worshiping (and unlock) him.

|Prerequisite: having unlocked any other deity. Subdungeon is a giant room with an altar in the middle. If you touch the Altar it will disappear and grant you a Pact (also triggering it once for an immediate effect). Touch the altar after having unlocked all other deities to unlock the Pactmaker.

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 gold piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

|The Adventurer's Cookbook
Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

|Horrible Fates: A Cautionary Almanac for Adventurers

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

HORRIBLENESS: 8/10 - not as bad as being afflicted with CONSTANT GOATS (see pg 34)

LIKELIHOOD: 1/10 - getting killed by such a spirit is always possible, but it's believed that no living being today remembers the ritual to create new ones.

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Subdungeons

Tinker: /* Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 gold piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

|Legend of the Signboard Gorgon:

In these lands, rumours persist of a particularly odd gorgon who turns adventurers into helpful dungeon signboards instead of stone.

Though this gorgon has never been sighted, adventurers are advised to stay away from regions of densely-clustered signposts, especially if they happen to contain any warnings about gorgons.

|The Adventurer's Cookbook
Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

Entry #427: Common Farm Goat
Four-legged, barely-domesticated animal occasionally bred for its milk and meat. Distinguishing traits include medium to long horns (both males and females), prominent 'beards' and short, upward-pointing tails.

Entry #428: Common Dungeon Goat
Four-legged, recently wild animal sought after as a trophy kill. Distinguishing traits include hatred-filled eyes, natural magic resistance and a tendency to seek out and murder adventurers.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

HORRIBLENESS: 8/10 - not as bad as being afflicted with CONSTANT GOATS (see pg 34)

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Tinker: /* Non-repeatable Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 gold piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

|The Adventurer's Cookbook
Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

|Horrible Fates: A Cautionary Almanac for Adventurers

Entry: ANIMATED ARMOURS
Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

HORRIBLENESS: 8/10 - not as bad as being afflicted with CONSTANT GOATS (see pg 34)

LIKELIHOOD: 1/10 - getting killed by such a spirit is always possible, but it's believed that no living being today remembers the ritual to create new ones.

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.

Subdungeons

Tinker: /* Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons */

Subdungeons are smaller versions of a level dungeon. They usually contain some sort of power up hidden behind a puzzle or an enemy. Some subdungeons provide quest chain advancement instead of a powerup, these subdungeons will be not appear anymore once you have advanced the quest chain.

==Non-repeatable Subdungeons==
These subdungeons may appear instead of the regular Subdungeon. However, they each only do so until completed once. Completing these subdungeons normally unlocks some game element (Race, Altar, Class or other progression).

== Repeatable Regular Subdungeons ==

These are the regular subdungeons that spawn on most maps. Most subdungeons are tied to a specific region (North/West/South/East/Central), and can only appear there. Some subdungeons seem to appear more often than others, which suggests that they also have a set rarity weight. Regular subdungeons always have their entrances spawn on accessible tiles (i.e. on corridors / in chambers).

== Repeatable Signpost Subdungeons ==

About 25% of the time, the subdungeon will be a "signpost" subdungeon. These are 5x5 unexplored subdungeons with the entrance in the center. They always contain a signpost and at least 5 gold piles, and also often contain monsters or items. The possible signpost text depends on the region that the main dungeon is in: center, north, east, south, or west. For a given signpost text, the same monsters or items will always spawn (although the reverse is not true: some monsters and items are shared between signposts). The positions of the signposts, monsters, items, and gold piles are all random. The tile color is fixed based on the region.

Chapter 3: Edible Adversaries

Meat Men: Due to their frequent appearance in most standard dungeons (and their inherently delicious-sounding names), Meat Men are common go-to beasts for any dungeoneer who wants to eat on the go. As with any meal that potentially fights back, it's best to try find one that you can easily kill. Even when a suitably weak Meat Man cannot be found, however, it's still possible for adventurers to exchange blows with a slightly stronger foe and win the battle if they take time halfway through to recover from some of their wounds. This is because Meat Men are extremely, well, MEATY, but don't generally put out enough damage to force enemies into a lengthy retreat.

|Embarrassing Adventurer Problems #6: Goblin Itch

Though not always as dangerous as some of the realm's more exotic creatures, goblins can still be a nuisance to any adventurer. We've all heard the reports of some poor schmuck clearing out a low-leveled nest of the creatures, only to accidentally stub their toe and meet an untimely end because they were too clumsy to notice their waning health.

Nothing short of an assassin's blade can outdo the alacrity with which these creatures strike, but magically slowing them down before attacking can yield favourable results and a more valuable kill.

Although common necromancy allows the reanimation and binding of a corpse to the summoner's will, sometimes the physical body won't suffice. Knowledgeable priests can, with great difficulty, bind a soul instead. Ancient cult leaders would use the remains of former Heroes, valuing their prowess and the irony of their servitude.

CHAPTER 6 - IMPROBABLE BEASTS

It is easy to assume that a story told is a story true, and while many fantastic creatures are known to have existed in ancient times, I have no reason to believe that the creatures known as "spiders" have ever been anything but a tale to frighten children.

Old books refer to them as spindly horrors with eight legs and eight eyes, fangs that drip venom and a body that can produce fine, magical thread.

Of all the fanciful stories I've heard in my time, this one certainly has to be the most exotic. The mere suggestion that such an abomination would exist seems absurd.

|Hello,

I know we haven't always gotten along, but I thought I'd leave you a message to say that some of your really, really, really distant cousins have returned via the Exile's Path.

Now, I don't hold any great love for your kind in general, so I naturally tried to wipe these ones out the moment I found them - which doesn't technically break any promises, so don't go whining to mommy.

Unfortunately, it has been a less than completely effective measure (you're quite a tenacious bunch, I'll grant you that) and they've secretly re-established themselves in the midst of my complacency. My bad, I know! :)

Now, I understand that there's some ancient feuds and oaths and whatnot blahblahblahdontcare, so basically I know YOU don't want these folks hanging around either. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. They've settled, they've grown and they're probably coming for you. I think it's in our best interests to co-operate, yeah?

Temporary friendship? ;)

== Secret (Repeatable) Subdungeons ==

A lot of maps have a second, hidden "secret" subdungeon. Accessing the stairs of these secret subdungeons requires breaking walls (sometimes only a single wall tile, but sometimes two or more wall tiles). Finding the location of these subs can also be difficult without LEMMISI or BLUDTUPOWA, and often involves systemic search with a careful eye out for telltale wall edges within otherwise contiguous walls.
