We've done torchless, but what about Provision less?

[Heavyeatsandvich]

I was unable to find anyone who did this on youtube or google about anyone doing provision less runs; so i decided to attempt it to see how it goes but made some ground rules:


1:provisions not allowed expect anything that is considered found within the dungeon itself OR stuff you have found and then brought back to the hamlet (The Blood, The Cure).

2: not allowed to use provisions if we complete warrens quest and get bumper crop or get the town event for free.

3: all districts allowed, meaning granary is fine or getting mill to shut down hunger checks is fine.


wish me luck, any thoughts or ideas would be an nice read :).

Sounds interesting to try, and I don't want to say impossible since I haven't tried, but at least on Stygian/Bloodmoon it does, since time limit and DD3 needing so much provisions, you don't need shovels yea, otherwise you might do need some bandages/antivenoms + food for camps and hunger checks, also a perfect team most likely for it, to avoid so much variance, the dungeon's mechanic, and afflictions (which will be quite common with hunger checks and no food for those). Also the perfect team implies getting the best quirks possible and having them maxed out, but since you'll probs need to get rid of most of the first ones (too much stress and afflictions is way high investment of gold), and you'll have to spend more time farming new heroes.

You can always get lucky with dmg rolls and stuff and not get rolled by the dung's mechanic (trying to avoid spoilers for other players), but just the time limit and farming/preparing by itself make it seem impossible.

Other than that, I wish you luck with that, seems interesting but stressful tbh, so good luck.

it's been alot of fun so far, if i need to heal stress I wait for the All Saints Day and send in an healing decided team. If i'm aiming for somewhat of a smooth ride (minus food checks lol) I bring double crusader, Vestal, Jester to keep the torch high; or bring an Musketeer,Occ,Anti,Houndmaster for long runs.

?
dd3 can be insanely short if you know what your doing. it can be as little as 6 rooms.

Provisionless sounds basically fine to me, although if you want good success rates you'll end up stalling an enormous amount of time. Every time you take a shovel or food check it's going to be like 6-8 rounds of stalling to fix it. In other words, rather than hard mode, for the most part it's take-longer mode.

If you use four fasting seals you can still feast at camp, so that's an option.

I've also played around with some ideas, I either invest into an anti stress team OR Keep HP high and focus on raw damage; here is one such team for anti stress.


Arb/Vestal/Double Crusader - This team eats stress, good heals, and the torch always stays lit. I went through an long dungeon and had 7 hunger checks, Arb and Vestal both got lucky and received virtue checks; Vestal was my attention seeker with the stress dealers, she had 2 anti stress trinkets (gave her -45% stress), stacked with zealous speech for -60% stress; every other turn getting hit and getting only 8 stress was very strong. Arb could spam flare for light or use battlefield bandage for stronger heals, crusaders could both heal and stress heal, bulwark of faith either right at the start of a fight or right before i ended one; overall solid team for working without provisions, got away with a full inventory.
