At my job, we have neither signal nor wifi in certain places (bathroom in the basement). So would appreciate tips on apps to kill five minutes.

    Once you get the hang of it, you can win like 95% of the games.

    In the first ten levels, starve yourself and only eat at 30% hp.
    Use corners and other obstacles to your advantage to get sneak-attacks. Don’t equip any unidentified equipment if possible - especially if it is suspiciously high level for the area. It is probably cursed. Save up your upgrade scrolls until you find some tier 4 or 5 weapons and armor. If you’re a mage, just dump them in your wand of fire from lvl 1 with no regrets.
    Learn how the bosses attack. The slime hits really hard after charging, so figure out how to dodge or get out of range.

      I one trick mage class. I always upgrade my staff as soon as I find a scroll. Once I feel comfortable I’ll then imbue my staff and continue to upgrade it.

      Is that a bad idea? I’ve always felt comfortable doing that because I know that my staff will always be my primary weapon.

      I’ve never beaten the game. Only got past the gnome king a handful of times.

        Mage is really a glass cannon. You should save some scrolls to invest in your armor too. I typically aim for the highest tier I can get to within my strength requirements with a few scrolls. Like if I am dominating and have 6 or so scrolls, I can upgrade Tier5 armor to fit at str 15 (18-6*0.5). Otherwise I will accept tier4 and in a pinch tier3. Usually you can find tier2 or tier3 that fit by the time you have the strength for them.
        Other tips:

        • I save almost all my scrolls of identify to turn into scroll of divination up until I know every single potion and ring. Convert your unneeded seeds and potions into alchemy energy.
        • Make big FU potions for the dwarven king fight. I do dragon blood and infernal brew to just light the arena on fire.
        • If you are lucky enough to find a Ring of Wealth early - put ALL of your scrolls of upgrade into it. Trust me. Might be difficult on the mage though.
