[BILLD@BOLTON] I hope the line eater gets this one. Well fellow rogues, here I am. After playing many games of rogue I don't seem to be getting the hang of it. Some questions. 1) What is the "A felling of loss" scroll. 2) Are their any real requirements that you should posses before taking on the more difficult levels. 3) How are the "enchanted" armors and weapons to be found. I've looked far and wide and cannot find anything better than "+1,+1 long sword" and "+1 Splint Mail [6]". I hear of people getting weapons >+6 and armor with equally high ratings. HOW!!! 4) Does each level posses certain items that you should obtain prior to decending. (Somewhat linked with #2). 5) Is their a real "winning" strategy that I've missed. If so, please tell me. I'm tired of struggling down to level ~10 only to be wiped out on the first real nasty I run across. I know how to use most of the wands, sticks, potions, and scrolls. And I'd like to make an observation. If your stuck in a random number generator drought, try backing-off and hitting again. Most of the time this works real well for me.
