The scale armor was augmented for evasion; not even the scorpions could hit me. I waltzed through the demon halls without worries.

I also had a RoW +1 and a robber's armband, and at some point had more than 10,000 gold. I had never had more than 3,000 before. Overall, I collected almost 21,000 gold; all my previous wins hovered around 14,000.

There are three (!) stones of enchantment, not even in hidden rooms. And five experience potions!

Ascended with a score of 242,000, my best yet.

Seed: BSC-DPD-VGR

I have yet to ascend without the HoP, upgraded WoR, or the chalice. Before augmenting your scale, did you just survive on food drops and huntress dew?

Yes, just food drops, potions of healing and dew. This particular seed has an ample supply of food as well. In general, I used to struggle with food management, but lately I've improved this aspect of the game and seldom run out of food. Some ideas:

  • Make sure to move diagonally when possible to save one turn.
  • Convert all mistery meats to edible meat.
  • Get the small rations from the shops.
  • Imbue the blandfruit with a seed of icecap or firebloom. Besides serving as a thrown weapon, they leave some food behind. It lasts for a long time!
  • Try not to go back and forth through a level -- minimize the amount of turns you spend moving.
  • The potions of honeyed healing (healing potion + shattered honeypot) also provide a bit of satiety.

Great tips, thanks! I almost always toss the bland fruit for space.
