Don&#8217;t panic and hit keys quickly (especially in combat). Take your time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you always have food to eat. Starvation can make you weak and even kill you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having a light source is essential. Running out is pretty much a death sentence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t fight in the middle of rooms where you can be easily surrounded. Try to draw monsters into doorways and corridors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rest often. Exploring while badly injured is just asking to get yourself killed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unless you are on a <a href=\"Feelings.html\">special<\/a> level, you lose nothing by retreating back up the stairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It may look like there are a lot of things (damage types and conditions) that you need to resist, but many of these won&#8217;t start being necessary until you get to harder\/deeper areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The difficulty of monsters around the entrance to a dungeon are a good indication of how hard the dungeon is going to be.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quaffing unidentified potions or reading unidentified scrolls is incredibly dangerous, but if you&#8217;re going to die anyway it might be worth a shot&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Farmer Maggot might moan a lot, but he&#8217;s also rather rich.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some quick hints to get you started&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":441,"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440\/revisions\/441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/angbandos.skarstech.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
