The Species, Background, and God choices are all mandatory. You must be worshipping one of the gods listed above before entering Lair, Orcish Mines, the Vaults or Depths, unless this isn't possible in which case you must worship them as soon as you can. Don't use faded altars (except in challenges where you can choose any god), and don't do anything to lose your religion unless otherwise specified.

NOTE: Except for Beogh, Ignis, Jiyva and Lugonu, an altar for the other gods will ALWAYS show up by D:10.

Cosplay conduct points

1. Lich

Collect at least 6 runes, over as many games as you require. They don't need to be obtained in the same game or consecutive games, and they don't need to be different runes. Points will be applied to your best game. If you win the game, you earn these points automatically.

If you play offline, you may need to post multiple morgues. If you play online, linking your best morgue and your player page is enough.

2. Armour

Don't wear heavy armour (ER of 5 or more) while you have a shield equipped. You can alternate between having a shield and wearing heavy armour as much as you want, as long as you don't have both at the same time.

3. Magic

Have at least 2 of the following spells memorized, with fail rates of 10% or less: Orb of Destruction, Ozocubu's Refrigeration, Bombard.

You can have LCS instead of Bombard, and/or MCC instead of Ozocubu's Refrigeration, but they still need to be 10% fail or less.

Note that if you worship Ru, certain sacrifices (magic schools) can make it impossible to fulfill this conduct.

Conducts are worth +5 points each, to a maximum of half your score from milestones, rounded down. (So if you achieve 4 milestones (20 points) you can earn up to 10 points from conduct bonuses.) Small mistakes in following conducts will usually be forgiven.

Bonus challenges

1. Master of Life and Death

Reach level 27 in Fighting and any magic school, including Spellcasting.

2. Antique Collector
