I have finally did an ascent with the Wizard now. It was a lot more difficult. 2 deaths, and one ascent all the way to the second floor where I starved to death.
That is 3 of 5.
Laughed so hard when my staff, imbued with a wand of Frost, was enchanted with Fire 😜
This was a very difficult one to start. No decent armour or weapons until level 11. Starved to death twice (saved by Anch's). Healing potions didn't start showing up until later in the game. I did however find 7 potions of Experience! Eventually it all worked out and I was able to ascend with the Rogue. That completes 4 of the 5 classes now.
Because throughout the game the only other rings I obtained were a Ring of Wealth and a cursed Ring of Might. I used the Ring of Wealth for a while but decided a few extra points of damage were preferred in the lower levels. I did get a ton of wands though... just what every Fighter wants.
