Getting into the mining business... how?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.adom (More info?)

Something i always like doing in games is construction. Building
buildings or digging a hole...
I've made several weapon smiths with the intention to get all the
necessary items and skills, yet it takes so long they usually succumb
to probability; and thus the RNG's unforgiving nature.

So, does anyone have any hints as to how to quickly establish a
mining-type character?
As well, is there any chance of any other class aside from a
Weaponsmith becomming a miner/smithy? mainly because my fighters last
to level 15, and the others... well, they dont last that long.

Chose a race/class combo that starts with mining (take a look at the
guidebook). Metallurgy is nice as well. Smithing can be bought from the
Smith in Dwarftown, there is also a guaranteed forge there.
However the big problem is getting an anvil. IIRC there is one guaranteed
in Darkforge, however this is not a place you should go to with a
low-level charactar. Best way to get one is probably the UD or the ID (it
has a danger level of one, so you can stay on the first level untill one
appears, however the chances for this to happen are REALLY small).
Also pick axes can be hard to find. If you have one, bless it immediatly.

Just one minor addition - I will usually attempt some smithing with
ANY character if they find the dwarven pick axe hammerhead. Unlimited
ore mining with no broken pickaxes? Yes please
