Quote:I've recently started doing runs for Magic elixirs, it started mainly because I wanted teleport. But when I'm doing runs and find books I use them if I can, I know I'm just accumulating spells which I will rarely use other than out of boredom or the occasional running monster. I was wondering does anyone else who plays a warrior do this.
In the beginning I was going to focus on teleport, town portal, healing, and firewall... but it seems now I just read what ever I find. So mainly I was curious if anyone else does this, I'm not really wasting my time because it is just as I find them.
That spells accumulating thing is not just about warriors. Most of the sorcs or rogues probably never use lot of learned spells. But for me it has sense to have maxed my spells. You never know when you will need to cast a flamewave .... :-) Afterall, throwing books away when you can read them is nothing more than waisting.
My warriors carry Dreamflange + 3 wizardry jewels in inventory as long as there is a chance to read some book. Up to +120 magic (lets count 110) can along with your basic Magic, helm (RC/of stars/of sorcery) and plate grant you magic value around 180. It can save you few Enchanted trips, what is something I really appreciate. For just 6 rooms of your inventory....
As for spells I recommend to use with "classic" warrior, its fireball, chainlightning, teleport, healing. In lvls with lightning immune monsters -> basically 16 (sorry for not counting you, Jim and Diablo) -> change chain for SC. FireWall works nice for lvls 1-12, but for hell I would use FireBall unless your magic ToHit is poor. In that case, FW can be a choice.
