I'm with you on the ID minigame, but Sokoban is very skippable: winning it gives you one of two valuable items, but it's not the only chance to get them. And I've ascended every class without ever once pudding farming. Your overall point stands, though.
- CydeWeys 4y agoYour chance of ascension definitely increases if you learn how to do Sokoban well, though. It's a pretty simple way to get an excellent reward that definitely helps you substantially. The Sokoban levels are also a good source of randomly spawned items at depths that aren't too deep. I'd always do the mines and Sokoban before going too deep in the main dungeons, as without getting geared up well enough first you would quickly start encountering monsters at lower levels that would pose serious problems. Going through all the low-depth branches first kits you out with more gear (and more experience points), without risking running out of food which is what might happen if you only stuck on the main branch and farmed those levels for EXP.
