Set item drop in Hell question

[ldw]

Do you mean using "players n"? I was not too sure I could survive with that enabled. I am 5-10 levels below many of the monsters I am fighting, according to the charts.

Many of the dungeons are very perilous for my character, if as if often the case, I run into 6-10 monsters and they are cold immune and one other immunity.

You could be somewhat cheesy and enable 'players n' to decrease the no-drop chance for a boss only just before the boss-area, e.g at stairs to Andariel's lair etc. (I think the effect is taken as you enter a new area).
This of course assumes you can kill the boss in 'players n' whatever n may be.

This also affects drops from chests. There is lots of chests in certain areas.
They may not drop that great but better a nice rare or somesuch than a no-drop roll.

If you character is too weak you may want to slum nightmare for a while to pick up items (unless you are playing all-clear-no-slums-allowed rules :) )
