 ==About me==
-I've started Nethack, gotten frustrated, and stopped many many times, but now I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. I've yet to ascend, but my current character (a [[Valkyrie]]) is the furthest along so far. At character level 23, she's got all the important intrinsics and most of an ascension kit put together. The hardest part so far was [[Fort Ludios]]; one stupid soldier was waiting in the lobby, and when he blew his bugle every single enemy dogpiled in the big room waiting for me. I impaled [[Vlad the Impaler|Vlad]], marked the [[vibrating square]], and stole the amulet... can I make it through the [[Planes]]?

 * I've died within the first turn from trying to mount a steed and failing
 * I've died within 10 turns of starting from eating a poisonous corpse
 * I died once from stepping on a [[fire trap]] with a full inventory of scrolls and potions. Went out in a blaze of glory!
 * After being bitten by a [[wererat]] once, I had my back to an immovable boulder with just a few HP left. At that moment, the RNG decided to turn me into a rodent and I was able to slip past the huge rock to freedom. Of course, without any equipment I didn't last long...

 ==Important things to remember==
-* Set autopickup for these items: $"=/!?+ (that's money, amulets, rings, wands, potions, scrolls, and spellbooks). Press @ to turn OFF autopickup before you enter a store. (The Windows port of Nethack doesn't have the defaults set intelligently. Uncomment the line in defaults.sh with OPTIONS=autopickup.)
+* Set autopickup for these items: $"=/!?+ (that's money, amulets, rings, wands, potions, scrolls, and spellbooks). This isn't just handy, but it also saves you a turn.

 * You can't carry everything with you. Everything weighs you down, including money. Find a box somewhere, move it to a convenient spot, burn [[Elbereth]] underneath it, and put your stuff in it. Lock the box with a key if possible.
 * Always always always test any equipment for [[BUC|curses]] ''before'' you try it on. Yes, shopkeepers will stock cursed goods. No, they won't let you have it for free even if the item is welded to your skin.

 * [[Aggravate monster|Don't eat cats, kittens, dogs, or puppies]]. If it could have been a form of your starting pet, it's probably not good to eat it.
 * Unless you're Chaotic, [[murder|avoid killing shopkeepers (even angry ones) or other formerly peaceful humans]]. The luck penalty is unfortunate, but regaining telepathy is the real pain.

 * A [[wand of fire]]. Assuming you're not confused, you can burn [[Elbereth]] into the ground permanently within a single turn, with no chance of failure. Handy for protecting stashes or yourself.
 * A [[magic marker]]. If you find one, keep it. Trust me.
