Bro. The main thing that has been killing me is the goddamn giant killer dwarf built robot. Any tips or advice?

Yea I sometimes start using scrolls in demon halls, but that's a bit late sometimes.
If you got off too long, it might mean burning through your other resources faster until you do.
Something that I also do sometimes is throw extra items down pits so I can pick them back up on the next level or maybe eventually sell them.
Everything from level 1 to the Imp's store is usually picked clean. Although, once you commit to upgrading an item it becomes less useful to haul things.
A neat trick I got from someone else here is to pile a bunch of your unidentified stuff and throw a bomb at it. Upgraded items will be OK, but lvl 0 items will be destroyed.
Now it may or may not be cursed, but now you know they're at least +1, which has been more helpful than I initially thought it would be.
Kinda saves on id and remove curse scrolls in a roundabout way, because you only bother with the better gear.
Some curses are gagne breaking, others aren't as bad, and if it's an item you're going to dump upgrade scrolls into anyway there's no need to uncurse them, the upgrades will eventually wipe the curse.
Ha! I have the ring of wealth this run and I just tossed like 5 scale armors down to the next level. I would never have thought to do that on my own, or at least not for awhile.
Also... if your start tossing stuff down... make sure you at least pick it back up once, even if you don't want it anymore.
Tossed items can land atop other items and kinda hide them. Sucks to miss a key, upgrade, potion, etc because it's underneath some junk you tossed.
If you tossed it and don't want it anymore, at least pick it back up momentarily to confirm there's nothing underneath.
I want them to sell. I was just out of bag space, and didn't want to run 3 floors up to the next shop.
That's a great idea to toss the gear down to a lower level! So much better than just leaving it behind, selling, or hauling around with full bags.
I didn't know upgrades would eventually wipe a curse! Dude, that's awesome. Do you know what level that happens, or is it random?
Thanks for the tips!

If you're gonna dump a bunch of scrolls in it, you're pretty much guaranteed to uncurse.
That's great to know. Dude! I'm having such a great warrior run right now. I have plate armor that came with a +2 and I found a glaive early. I just happened to get the brimstone enchantment along with the blazing enchantment and the two together have amazing synergy, especially with the blooming wand I found. Both weapon and armor are +6 at floor 17. Oh, and I have the sandals of nature at +7, which also has great synergy with the wand. The wand doubles as a way to stop the stupid warlocks and geomancers from nuking me when I get caught out in the open, and let's me close the distance without them getting line of sight on me. Idk if I'll win this run, but I'm pretty close! I have 5 healing potions and a lot of shielding, so I'm hopeful.
Wewt! I won. That was my first win with a warrior. This is an amazing seed if you want to check it out, and it dropped a ring of wealth really early.
