summoning AKW

[Guest]

Hello

I wonder what if I will use RoDS for Ancient Karmic Wyrm summoning?
Being lvl22 archer with ring of immunity I am quite confident I could
defeat him (maybe try to summon him in DH2 or SMC? ). It will give
me significant experience boost and will allow me to feel myself more
confident in ToF.

After I kill him -- what will happen with quest for Ancient Blue Wyrm?
Will AKW be hostile when I will encounter him or not?

Bye.
Sincerely yours, Mike.

Yes, he will, usually. He's the most powerful dragon in the game,
generally speaking, so prepare in every way possible. Slaying arrows
are almost mandatory for you to have a chance at defeating him.

I don't quite see the point, personally. I mean, whatever level you are the
monsters generated will be equivalent to that level. Equipment is more
valuable, I think, and is something you can keep throughout the game -
unlike experience which won't count for anything after you hit level 50...

Just my two cents...

Water dragon is more deadly.

Yes, I understand... I was trying to say: will I be able to complete
quest for Ancient Blue Wyrm necessary for UltraEnding if I kill wish'ed
AKW before I ever meet real one?

Bye.
Sincerely yours, Michael.

Erm.... no. Nowhere near. For the level you might fight it at, yes, but nobody
expects you to fight an AKW at level 2x normally. Water dragon, yes, AKW, no.

The theory that the water dragon is more deadly I guess might come from the
fact that it will quite easily shred you in melee. I would think the same goes
for the AKW though, if anyone would ever dare to melee it, despite the karmic
nature.

Maybe you're right, but

it can pee... breath at you, I mean. To kill both dragons, you need
teleport or 7LB and slaying ammo. For water one, one needs also better
LOS, darkness is not good, because it runs away or berferks.

You can still get skill increases from experience until you hit the
100M-1 EXP limit. If you've had a round of good luck with potions of
education, that could be an significant factor.

The spoilers misses you.

The spoiler hits you but does not manage to harm you.

The spoiler punches through your armour and hits you!

You feel corrupted!

Your cranium suddenly enlarges...

By the end of the game what skills you haven't already gotten to 100 don't
have that much of an affect. I mean, really, other than Healing and
Literacy, and a few individual ones dependant on class or playstyle (Necro,
2WC), there's not that many skills which have a dramatic effect on the game.
A lot of skills can be trained with certain trainers, and further potions of
Education can increase skills themselves. So... yeah, still don't see the
point personally. If he's that worried about skills wishing for PoE is a
little bit easier than AKW...
