[net.games.rogue] AMULET & STILL KEEP ON GOING DOWN?

ksl@hou2e.UUCP (K.LIU) (08/26/84)

How come EVERYONE says: I dropped the amulet before going down again.

The QUESTION is why?

In SuperRogue 7.0, I took the amulet at level 30, and still kept
on going down, all the way to level 83!  So why does everyone
drop the amulet?

In 5.2 and 5.3, if you wish to accumulate a lot of useful magic
before facing pre-hasted, superbly armored monsters below level 29,
a strategy is to climb back up to level 1 then go back down again.
If the amulet is carried during subsequent trips down, levels
encountered are devoid of treasure.  So, the amulet should be dropped
at level 1 before beginning new descents.  I have never played
Super-Rogue, much as I'd like to (we don't have one here!)
