What to wish for?

[Tarrenel]

-Blessed Scrolls of Charging, so that you can use one to recharge a wishing wand/s later.

-Dexterity gloves

-Blessed Potions of Gain Level. Nice both for the ability to upgrade your stats/abilities and for the fact that they give increased, full health when you drink them. Great for when you think you're about to die.

Lots of other stuff can be useful depending on your build and playstyle, but those are the first 3 that come to mind. If you're already at level 10 or 11 or so I'd go for the Gain Level potions, because gaining XP at that point is a slow process and also for their use as last-second saviors. Just my preference/opinion. Good luck. :)

Yeah your class/playstyle makes a huge difference. For me, I always play Strong characters, so barbarian/valkyrie, sometimes hunter.

I'm assuming you're already pretty far if you have +3 speedboots & dragon armor. If I were in your position, I'd have already gone with whatever the RNG granted me for a weapon and started building up my related weapon skill.

Best you can get for a weapon is a +3, and hopefully you already have a +3 weapon at that point. You could get the unique one(s), but I prefer non-uniques because you're able to get them up to +8 with a ring effect built in.

Gauntlets of Dex/Power are a great choice like hotblack said. Any of the rare items with a special effect built in could be good. Cloak of Fortification(?) is cool, the one you can only get by wishing. Helm of ESP isn't as uncommon, but still very useful.

Perhaps there's something the game just is not giving you, like a wand of cancelation? A wish can fill a gap like that.

If there's not something in particular you can think of, bag of holding is good, or a Midas Bag is even better.

at this point I would wish for ring of teleport controll or cloak of magic resist (if u buff it it gives u magic+ fire immunity) or helm of brilliance if your character has low int, but ring of teleport controll is the best thing ever, better then any boots weapon or armor

Depending on how close to the boss he is. If he's within a few levels I'd forego the ring, personally, since one of the rewards will grant the same benefit, freeing up the ring slot, but if he's got a ways to go yet it would definitely come in handy.

the last few lvls are the hardest, being able to just teleport yourself away from death or just to the boss and all the way back up is the best thing you could ever have. and I'm not sure what do you mean when u say that one of the rewwards grants the same thing, uless you mean to wish for it with a wand of wishing after killing the dragon

[Tarrenel]

How deep is this dungeon? Im at 2800 feet. I am playing a knight lvl 14. I havent done the Roman fort area, should I clear that out at this level?

[!Supreme Grand Wizard Yoodiv]

The Romans are just annoying, I don't ever do it. MAYBE after I get the amulet of waz and am on my way back up.

[Tarrenel]

This is by far the best run I have had. I now have 2 silver dragons as pets

The end-game reward, the Amulet, grants teleportation control, thus making the ring redundant when you recieve the Amulet.

My thoughts: only go in the Fort if you're prepared to die in a hail of arrows at any moment. It is *very* easy to be overwhelmed there, even with the most powerful of characters, so if you go in stay on your toes and take things extremely slowly. Don't rush anything, don't take anything for granted, and have a way to teleport to safety in an instant.

They also spawn quickly, lots of roamin' Romans.

Off topic but my grandmother told me that her mom used to warn her about "foreign boys" when my grandmother was a teen. When she asked her mom what she meant, her mother told her to watch out for those with "Roman hands and Russian fingers."

The roman fort is nasty, but definately doable once you can either soak the damage (health bar at least half way across the screen), high amor (over the top high armor - it's not that arrows do heavy damage, it's that there's so many of them raining down on you), things to get them not to shoot you (single-pull or morph them or freeze them or give them a different target or ... you get the idea, don't get hit).

High health regen or healing spell (plus mana regen) is helpful and almost makes it easy mode (with high health bar).

I've only gotten owned there once and I hadn't yet gotten my health bar pumped nor did I have my healing spell yet. I pretty much only play the blue mage, and once I get my health bar pumped, fort is easy.

If you like staves (or just want to do a run with staves because, why not...), the fort boss always drops the unique staff. With a high staff skill and near-constant double-haste, that staff is sick. Careful what gem you put on it.

Although it can be fun (for a short while) to have a staff imbued with a firestone. Make sure you have fire resist first. :)

How about something to shore up what you're deficient in.

Having encumberance issues? 3 bags of holding (can nest them for increased weight reduction, but annoying to manage items)

Low stats? potions of increase ability

The holy triad of scrolls - enchant armor, enchant weapon, charging

Missing ink or feathers? those

Extra rings of regen or stats for forging

Can never have too many wands of cancellation

cloak of displacement is a goodie

caster missing your favorite spell? get that spellbook

non-caster want to do casting? blessed specticles

I've never tried wishing for food, but there are "special" food that give you innate abilities (fire/cold/poison resist, tp control, esp, ...)

Have 20 blue portal stones and no orange? get some

blue mushroom of power, I think it's called.. pick it up then drop it, she casts lighting on your enemies and heals you, but she has very low hp

red hot poker

If you haven't comleted a dungeon yet don't even think about going into Fort Ludos. It's harder than getting the amulet and not necessary.

Be careful! I died many many times getting careless because I thought my character was so hard I wasn't paying anough attention.
