Full:Goblin (race)
The goblin is a race in Desktop Dungeons, unlocked after finding it in a sub dungeon and giving it 20 gold. You must survive the dungeon after finding it. Back in the kingdom, you must pay more gold to upgrade their building and be able to use them.
The goblin gets +5 experience points for every 85 conversion points.
Strategy
The goblin takes advantage of classes that gain level-dependent bonuses (e.g.: monk and assassin).
Monk: When using a monk, the player will take advantage of the monk's high regeneration. The player should try to reach level 10 by worshiping a god that has an experience-giving boon, such as Jehora Jeheyu or Dracul. Avoid worshiping Tikki Tooki, unless there are many low-level monsters in the map.
Another good choice for a god is Taurog, but be careful: if you worship him, it will be difficult to convert to another god, because he will reduce your mana and fill up your inventory slots.
Before starting the boss battle(s), make sure you are about to level up. Then, use all your HP and MP and convert a glyph. You will gain a level, recovering your HP and MP. Start fighting the boss again, but this time, whenever you run out of HP, explore some tiles. This works best when you have a high level.
