Crabs are tough - I’m not a top tier player, but I’m not aware of a killer strategy like for some of the mobs. I do find that a small amount of upgrades makes a big difference in the early game, though. I’ll usually choose the item from the ghost that I can use the soonest (lowest tier) unless I’ve already found an equivalent.

Don’t be afraid to spend an upgrade or two early - many players will advise you not to “waste” upgrades on early equipment, but most games you don’t need every upgrade on your end game equipment to win. If playing as mage, dump an upgrade into your staff right away; you’ll retain that upgrade, even if you imbue a higher upgraded staff.

Likewise, don’t hoard health potions, seeds, etc. - they’re no use to you if you’re dead. All items are useful - if you’re not using an item (seed, stone, etc.) , figure out how you can add to your gameplay.

For dwarven halls (after 3rd boss), have a way of dealing with ranged enemies; either a way to quickly close the gap (e.g., hourglass, chains) or a way to blind them (e.g., darts, wand of prismatic light).

Good luck!

Can’t think about Phillies right now - too bummed

How do you find yourself dying? Are you starving? Or is there a particular enemy that’s giving you trouble?

I’ll add my vote for this feature request

I prefer to split upgrades - I find there tends to be diminishing returns when I pour too many scrolls into any one item.

+5/6 plate is OK for me for most runs (depends on exact circumstances); after all, armor only protects against physical attacks. Using the rest on weapon/wand/rings can make it so you can avoid taking hits in the first place.

I have a Cuecat! One of my early programming projects.

Firstly, welcome! I hope you stick around for awhile.

If you’re on mobile, your app may have theme options, too. I just checked on Voyager, and there is a toggle for Dark Mode (on by default on my install). Turning it off gives black-on-white.

Yes, I often do this intentionally to move down gear that I intend to sell.

A yard is 3 feet, so a cubic yard is 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet

UNUSED KEY!!!

Sorry, that’s all I can see

Serious salvia flashbacks from that headline image.

To add to the other reply: it’s just a splash of vinegar in a pot of boiling water.

In January 1783, Price returned to his laboratory in Guildford, ostensibly to start production of the miraculous powders. In fact, he set about the distillation of laurel water (which contained hydrogen cyanide, commonly known as prussic acid). He wrote his will at the same time, but it was another six months before he returned to London to invite members of the Royal Society to witness the experiment on 3 August in his laboratory in Guildford.

Despite the claimed successes of his initial demonstrations and the furor they had caused, only three members turned up in Guildford on the appointed day. Although clearly disappointed by the poor turnout, Price welcomed the three men and then, stepping to one side, ended his life by drinking the flask of laurel water he had prepared. The three men immediately noticed a change in his appearance, but before they could do anything, Price had died of cyanide poisoning.

Not only that, but they are the same species (different cultivars): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea

Did you also know there’s no talking crab in the original story by Hans Christian Andersen? Since we’re being faithful to the original.

Who tf cares about Hunter Biden?

While it doesn’t contradict what you’re saying, apparently ”the provisions of his parole required him to surrender any electronic devices and passcodes." Wtf
