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.
Only train Long Blades and Fighting for weapon skills.
Never wear gold dragon scales. Only wear any other types of dragon scales for body armour as soon as you either reach XL25, or enter Zot, whichever comes first. If you die before either of those things happen, be wearing dragon scales at the time of your death.
Train Invocations to skill level 18 before XL27.
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.
Don't enter any rune branches, other than Pandemonium and the Abyss. Win with 5 Pan runes. (The Abyssal rune can be picked up but you don't need to do so.)
Have 3 weapons of holy wrath, enchanted to at least +3, in your inventory. Artefacts count.
Bonus challenges are worth one star each, similar to banners in Crawl tournaments. Small mistakes will usually be forgiven.
The main way to score points. +5 points each, and can be done in any order.
