I found a nice shield of preservation and I'm at +9 speed. I've been using ranged attacks to do a lot of work. It kind of backfired on me when I attacked a player ghost (lich) and it ended up summoning neither hounds...I had to run which sucked because I was in a nice vault. I have a feeling that not running from vaults can get people killed more often than not. One thing that I'm finally getting through my head is that sooner or later I'll be able to handle the stuff that makes me run so I shouldn't try to get every good vault I see.

That Unlight cloak sure comesin handy...I'm skipping Tol in hounds again and going straight for Angband.

I'm kinda juggling my gear around looking for a perfect set up. I almost got overwhelmed by a bile dragon pit, but I managed to not get greedy and just teleport lvl.

45% RCold is a little scary.

i think that
i could win with this character...I might not even need anymore speed items. But if Morgoth were able to double move me it would be all over ...But in any case I still have a few dangerous unigues to knockout...

I took the tarrasque down no problem, usually he does a ton of damage and I'm all scared that he might kill me...this time I just shot him up with acid and lighting arrows. BTW archery is definitely the way to go with a ranger. Also set items definitely are great if you can find them all. Right now I'm rocking the Messinger of Ulmo set and it pretty much takes care of all my needs. I'm tempted to just kill M, the only thing holding me back is that I haven't found any Mass genocide scrolls yet and I'm not at 30+ speed without a speed boost.

Hmm, I'm still looking for more speed....If this weren't my first ranger on the verge of winning I'd just say fuck it and got for it...but as it is Morgoth nearly killed me in one shot when I tested the waters so to speak...I'd hate to see what would happen if he double moved me...

Finally! I found a ring of Speed that put me at 31+ speed. Orginally I went at Morgoth with The Trident of Ulmo since I could get 77 hps per hit with it...more than enough to take Morgoth out, but it just took one raw chaos ball to convince me to get the Axe of Durin instead, which made the battle that much slower...I tried to keep to areas that had rubble so that I could avoid area effect damage if at all possible. but I found that keeping Morgoth close was the best thing to do since his earthquake effect was helpful in keeping his summons away. I had to use spells to teleport nasties like Sauron away, since Morgoth drained my teleport others wand really quickly. A lot could have gone wrong with this battle but I kept a cool head and used phase doors when it made sense and quaffed potions of *healing * and Life when phasing would have left me exposed, which was quite often the case.
This last game confirmed that speed kills more than anything. I found myself getting a lot of free rounds off of Morgoth when I was hasted and most of his summons never got to attack me even if I didn't Genocide them as soon as they showed up. Holding out for speed was a good move on my part. Hell I was hoping that either Ringil or Feanor or even +10 speed boots would show up, but that speed ring was enough to give me a victory over Morgoth.It was still a hard fight because of the low damage...but it was one that I could win.
I would have died if this were an ironman style game btw. I never would have had enough resources to win. God bless LostTemplar...I don't know how he does it!

Nice work. Did he nether storm at all?

Well, if you ever try to kill Morgoth not in melee you will find it much easyer. I normally prefer 200 dmg/round at range over 450 in melee with my warriors when fighting Morgoth. Only once I have killed him in melee with a warrior, and it was not ironman, so lots of genocides and *healing* was used. Assassin or rogue with mana burn should definitely melee. And speed is by far the best thing, but for me +15 permanent is enough. even +12 may work with fury.

Btw my first winner killed Morgoth by shooting him in open space, genociding summons, and staff of winding him away, it was fun. About 25 summonings and no single attack spell.

Hmm, I think that I will see if I have a saved version of this character on my external harddrive that isn't too low level and see how your method works out : )
