- Play smart, you can usually tell most of what is in a room from the doorway, if there are many monsters and few changes to get loot, close the door and move on. Fight for loot or to get to the stairs. - Picking a spell to learn that enhances your speed or allows you to escape quickly is your best bet, you will be mobbed or need to escape quickly to prevent death. - If you have to drink a potion, drink one of the highest number that you own, regeneration potions drop the most often. - Using scrolls and potions wantonly during a tough fight is a bad idea. Identification scrolls are rare and you never have enough. My strategy is use one once in a while on a "lab rat" yes just like a weak dungeon character like a rat. Note the effects for potions because doing this doesn't identify them but you'll still know if a potion is useful/dangerous. When tossing potions be a least one square away from your target to prevent it affecting you too. - Never throw your only weapon down a well. Your weapon is really the most important thing in the game. - When enemies have ZZZ's above their head they are sleeping and have not noticed you yet. Approaching them will usually wake them up, so instead use a ranged attack, you get significant attack bonus for this called Raid, so an otherwise useless dart could greatly injure or kill a sleeping beast. - Save and go back to wells of healing and campsites, do NOT use these in good health and stamina, they are quite rare. - Meat + freeze trap = frozen meat, which is always edible. - Keep higher tier items that you cannot wear for odd wells, throw them in for a same tier item that not only could be even better but that you might be able to wear. Sell same tier items you don't need. - If you disturb a grave a powerful ghost may appear, it will usually kill you. Instead of letting that happen, activate a speed spell and run, close the door behind you and never come back. Ghosts can't open doors or move through them, which is good. If that changes in the future, just don't touch gravestones.
