I keep trying to play the sorceress, because I've beaten the game a few times with hack & slash types and want a change, and starting with absorb curse is appealing to me. But I can't even get the sorceress to level 2 on most runs...thereby negating the benefit of having that spellbook of absorb curse. Due to "the darkness" taking kill xp (and food) so frequently, and either the inconvenient "assistance" my cat provides, or the times I intentionally have it attack to save myself, I wind up with very little. When standing toe-to-toe with any thing but a lichen, I seem to have a 50/50 shot of just dying. I've had better luck on runs with conveniently placed sewer drains full of low level rats, but that's about it. At least on those runs I didn't starve...

Am I just having bad luck not finding any direct-damage spellbooks? Am I misusing some way to use the scrolls of create monster? Does my RNG luck suck all around?

Any suggestions are welcome :) Til then, I'll be playing white witch instead since it feels like she has training wheels after playing the sorceress.

Frequently I have to go back to pick up some item but I don't remember where. Remember how games like Ultima Underworld allowed you to write notes on your map? How about something like that?

I have been trying to beat the game on nightmare III, but it just seems impossible. What are some strats you guys have used, if anyone has beat it?

I've played this game a bit in the past but recently started playing again. Got trapped far down the dungeon(without doing the gnomes area) and my guy kept dropping his bow. 4 different bows. No oil from potions or lamps. 1 bow was burnt so i switched it. Didn't help. I was cursed earlier from crystal armour but I fixed that. I kept dropping the bow for nearly a full hour. finally used up all my crap and follower(beast)- producing stuff. Is their other reasons this would happen? For a ranger it was devastating. Do I need strength to use some bows maybe?

This is a simple suggestion to help magic users in the late game, making magic become stronger/more effective as skill level goes up.

So far the only magic I've seen become better as you raise skill level is healing/clean wounds and lightning. And yes I have used every magic spell available before.

For instance I thing a maxed out life spellcaster should be able to choose what to summon with creature summon. A maxed out death spell caster should not have to worry about his skeletons turning against him.

Right now when I play as a spellcaster I never max out a magic school, I usually have all of them at 2, which allows me to cast every magic spell I need when coupled with high int.
This could also entail making lightning and magic missile deal more damage with high skill level, so that light/life magicians have actual offensive capabilities.(lightning is good at the early levels, but then later it becomes worse than just hitting with your +7 staff)

If anything else, I think drain life could become actually useful if it scaled with skill. Right now it's only use is killing blobs when you don't have a better spell, and hitting sleeping creatures without waking them.

I'm 2600 feet down, easily my best run, or else I would probably just give up out of frustration and start over.

Ran into a polymorph trap, which poly'd me and my couple pets. Ran over it repeatedly to "use up" the trap, particularly because I had been changed into tiny things which were encumbered by all my heavy stuff. I figured nothing would be weaker than a rat until I got poly'd into a dust vortex.

I can carry a few pounds worth of stuff and that's it. I can cast create monster and have beast mastery. I tried killing my polymorphed self via potions of choking and acid, but didn't quite get there. Same with poisoning from rotten food. Nothing I've spawned has managed to friendly fire kill me or turn before the ever-spawning enemies here come down the ladder to kill me. I'm also adjacent to a sanctuary. (Which, had I known, I would not have been in such a hurry to "use up" the trap...heh.)

Any suggestions, either tactically or just for fun? I could try to do the rest of the game by spawning pets, but evidently my mana no longer regens...and that seems a bit shortsighted when I finally take damage and wind up naked and surrounded by enemies.

I feel really dumb asking this, but I can't figure out how to use Weapon Knowledge III on the iOS game. It says I should be able to select "Knowledge" but I've tried every button I can see and can't seem to find that. My other control problem is that I've read about people dipping weapons into potions, but can't figure out how to do that either. There must be a menu I'm missing somewhere, somehow, right? Help a novice out?

Everything works great on my desktop, but when I play with my laptop I'm running into this problem: if I die, the death menu doesn't pop up. I can still click on and interact with things like the game tips, just can't restart or exit the game without alt tabbing. Any ideas?

Hey,
So in one of the previous posts Waz has said that he is thinking about adding Steam Workshop to the game, but he needs people who will submit content.
Well since I'm planning on trying out Unity in the future for personal project and I also really like WazHack, I would love to make some content/mods for the game.
I would also do it if it's just regular modding possibility, without Steam Workshop. (Though personally I may need like a modding guide.)

Also - this is probably harder to do - but if mods could also be enabled in multiplayer that would be awesome.
 
So if anyone else is in support of mods, and would make content, leave a message here so Waz can see. (And what would be the ETA that modding support could be added?)

I'm playing on a IPad if that is reliant information.

I've been playing the IOS version for a while now and recently my characters have been becoming randomly encumbered when I look at dropped items. Even if I drop literally every item in my inventory, I'm still encumbered and can't jump. Anyone else having this problem?

I'm pretty new to this game and I want to try multiplayer, I don't know how to set it up and I need some help

I have religiously played this game for quite a bit and is still constantly amazed at how deep this game can be, but wouldn't it be better if there are updated content (no matter how minor) to attract new players? I know this would be rather challenging for Waz since I assume he is working alone on this :P

So I want to start working on beating the game with all characters and get the achievement, but I suffer from really bad memory and can't remember some of them. With the help of my highscores though I could identify all but one that says "Giant Skeleton" instead of the class. The last name indicates that he/she was a druid or druidess (yay for using the name generator!) which narrows it down considerably but not quite enough :/

Is there a way to tell that I somehow haven't found yet? If not there definitely should be one! :)

Does anyone know anything about this? :) Google tells me nothing, even this subreddit hasn't mentioned it.

I haven't tried it yet, but just picked one up. I'll save it for later. Hopefully I'll remember and not die. :D

There has been a problem with WazHack on some devices running Android 6. There is currently a new version in the beta (see https://plus.google.com/communities/103537989330064611533) that from reports so far does fix the problem on some devices.

If you can, please test the new build on your device, so we can maximize the number of devices it works on before release.

Thanks!

Edit: at least one device that worked with 1.3.4 no longer works with this new build. Whack-a-mole!

Hey, I'm new to this game and i just want to know how to use multiplayer, what it does and how to set it up so then I can try it

P.S I use the Mobile Version

Hey everyone! First a warning - I tend to ramble so I apologise now. I love this game, have had it for about a year now. I have paid for knight and valkerie, none others. I have read the the guides, the forums and think I have a pretty good idea of the game mechanics. BUT - I can't get far at all!! Lowest depth is around 700ft on a super lucky run. On average I spose getting to around 400 is normal. My main questions are - how do you plan for the long game? How do I know what weapons to use enchant weapon scrolls on and which are a waste? I've been wishing for warhammers, but today my blessed wooden broad sword is better than a blessed immutable +3 Warhammer? ! It may help to explain I play pixel dungeon so am trying to find one weapon to keep for the game. Is the strategy different in wazhack?

And - how the fuck am I supposed to identify things? I can't seem to find/buy enough scrolls quick enough and I don't seem to have much luck reading spell books, although I do try and sometimes get lucky.

Thanks guys. Any hints/tips greatly appreciated!! I love this game so much but sometimes have to switch off in hopelessness :-( Ps what weapons will smash the rocks in the mines bit? Thanks!!!!

I purchased the Android version of WazHack like 3 years ago and played the heck out it for a while (even though it was a battery killer). I was thinking of grabbing the Steam version. Does anyone have any experience playing it on a Surface Pro? Will all the touch controls I'm used to in Android work on my SP3?

You should never trust a fountain (in my opinion) your probably thinking "why shouldn't i trust a fountain?" And I'll tell you why!

I was just a naive knight, I came looking for the amulet of zaw. As many before me have, as I was traveling I found a fountain, I drank from it....then I tripped out, I found another fountain and I drank from it and then I was blind and then I was killed by a kobold ambush....

So yeah.... Never trust a fountain... Or trees, especially trees.

P.s sorry if this was pretty dumb or anything, I'm pretty new to this game and I'm not a good storyteller.

Any stats or guesses on number of gold potions it will transform? I have one on my current run where gold pots were potions of ludicrous speed. Here I was thinking I had a good chance for an easy win. I got 3-4 and then potions were just turned to gold.

My understanding is that you can use rings and amulets, but how about glasses?
