| INTRODUCTION | [3]
==============
Welcome to the Dredmorian Archives, a catalog of all that exists in the
depths of the dungeon.
I'd like to introduce myself as Spinnah. As of writing this
introduction, Dungeons of Dredmor was released but a few days ago. After the
game managed to addict me for many hours, and after I promptly got many of my
friends addicted, I decided this would be the first game I would write a FAQ
for. I am not claiming to be the best player at this game, I'm anything but
that. But I do love to know everything there is to know about a game, which I
think qualifies me to write this.
Now lets cover what you will and won't find in this guide. You will not learn
how to play or beat the game with this guide. This is not a walkthrough.
Considering that the game is randomly generated, a walkthrough would be
quite hard to properly write. If you want to learn to play the game, Dungeons
of Dredmor includes numerous tutorials, all of which are very helpful.
You will instead learn what you can fight, what you can fight that which you
fight with, and all the wonderful items you can find in this game. Obviously,
there is a lot to find and fight in this game, so please bear with me when
I say that this guide will not be finished for quite some time. But I will
do my best to keep this guide regularly updated as I gather new information.
If you would like to contribute to this guide in some way, please see the
"Contributing FAQ" section [12] for details.
In addition, Gaslamp Gaming will at some point in the future be releasing
regular updates to the game that may change existing objects in the game or
that will add new things. As before, I will do my best to keep up with these
updates.
Note: This guide is written for Dwarvish Moderation. I cannot be sure how
things change at different difficulty levels.

| SHRINES | [4]
=========
There are three main shrines in the Dungeons of Dredmor: The Shrine of the
Lutefisk God, The Anvil of Krong, and The Shrine of Inconsequentia, the
Goddess of Pointless Sidequests. You will randomly stumble upon these shrines
as you progress through the dungeon, with each one having the chance to help
or hurt you. So which god you should you pray to and why? Let us find out.
=============================
The Shine of the Lutefisk God [4.1]
=============================
You will find Lutefisk shrines in large rooms that look in my opinion like
an octopus. Upon clicking on the shrine, you will be informed about how much
Lutefisk you have tithed to the great Lutefisk God. Upon tithing enough
pieces of Lutefisk, you will be granted a rare item. The more you tithe, the
better chance you have of getting a rarer item.
The minimum about of Lutefisk required to receive an item is 5. Once you have
received your item, the shrine will break and become unusable. Therefor, it is
in your best interest to save up as many Lutefisk as possible and donate them
all at once to hopefully receive the best item.
There are two ways to gather Lutefisk. The first is to simply find them
randomly, like any other item. From what I can tell, they're pretty rare.
The second and arguably easier way is to find a Horadric Lutefisk Cube. If
you don't know what a Horadric Cube is, shame on you. Go play Diablo 2
this very second before you continue reading. Moving on, placing an item
in the HLC will turn it into a piece of Lutefisk. The cube itself is rare,
but once you have one, you can easily stack up on Lutefisk.

| STATS | [6]
=======
So you have just made your character, and now you want to know how he's going
to perform. Stats are the answer to that. The game has quite a lot of them,
split between primary and secondary stats. Like the game explains, it's not
really necessary to know what all of them do, just that you want bigger
numbers as opposed to smaller numbers. Your stats increase as you level up,
and as you get better equipment. If you are curious though what all of the
various colored icons do, read on!
==========
Primary Stats [6.1]
==========
=Burliness: Burliness is the primary attribute of the warrior and pertains to
getting into trouble, hitting ones head on other people, and getting hit by
large objects/limbs/pseudopods. It affects hitpoints, melee power, and block
chance.
=Sagacity: Sagacity is the primary attribute of the wizard, and is mostly
about being a know-it-all. It affects mana points and magic power.
=Nimbleness: Nimbleness is the primary attribute of the rogue and is the
quality of swiftness, grace, and not getting hit by things. It affects dodge
chance, sneakiness, enemy dodge reduction, and counter-attack chance.
Nimbleness is pretty great.
=Caddishness: Caddishness is the primary attribute of the pirate and revolves
around not caring about the feelings of others. It affects critical hit and
counter-attack chance.
=Savvy: Savvy is the primary attribute of the bard and involves being clever
while avoiding trouble. It affects magical haywire chance and sneakiness.
=Stubbornness: Stubbornness is the primary attribute of the monk and enhances
self-righteousness and the ability to ingore mean things other people say
about you. It affects magical resistance and block chance.

Secondary Stats [6.2]

| SKILLS | [7]
========
Skills are how you accomplish anything in this game. Sure, you can just click
on everything, but what good is that? Shoot a fireball, dodge a trap, work
with your hands, be exciting! When choosing your character, you can pick 7
skills to shape who you want to be. These also directly influence the "title"
your character gets when leveling up. When you level up, you get one skill
point which can be spent upgrading any skill tree. Skills are broken up into
three categories, warrior, rogue, and wizard. The next few sections will show
you all the skills and their respective trees.

| MONSTERS | [8]
==========
This game wouldn't be very hard if all you had to do was walk around and
gather loot. Thankfully, there are monsters there to make your life miserable.
They come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and some are even unique. I will
be organizing the monsters by the floor they appear on naturally. Unique
monsters, from things such as evil chests and quests, may appear on a
differnt floor than normal. Monsters will be listed by the highest floor they
appear on, so if a monster appears on floor one and two, I will only list it
on floor one.

topic is not around for whatever reason. But please do not clog up
the board!

the correct stats so that I may fix it.
