    Hi,

    I've made it to level 50 (thanks in part to some sound advice regarding equipment), so I should be thinking about endgame equipment now, I
    guess?

    Not really. Endgame is part attitude, and mostly dungeon depth.
    Things will change a lot if you go through the next 10 levels at
    your current descent speed.

    All you really need is 700 hp and 0% fail, and you had those long ago.
    Well, sustain int and sustain con are helpful too, but those come with
    Nenya.

    I've killed 88 uniques (including Gothmog), and I gather it's worth
    trying to pick off the rest so Sauron/Morgoth don't summon them? Beyond

    The uniques you really need to kill are those with PASS_WALL or KILL_WALL. Other than those, teleport other generally does the trick.

    that, I guess I want to cover the resistance bases (especially darkness, nether, disenchant), and stockpile as many !life/*Heal*/heal as I can,
    and get speed up to at least +30? I figure I'm going to be using mana

    Speed +20 is generally enough unless you get very unlucky, since you'll
    be hasted except on the turn it runs out or if you get slowed and can't
    hide. Speed +30 before haste is recommended, but I rarely have it and
    I don't think instakill from lower speed has ever been what killed me.

    j) 22 Potions of Healing
    k) a Potion of *Healing*
    It can be thrown at creatures with damaging effect.

    l) a Potion of Life
    It can be thrown at creatures with damaging effect.

    You are a bit short of the big heals.

    m) 20 Potions of Restore Mana

    That's plenty.

    [Home Inventory]

    a) a Book of Magic Spells [Tenser's Transformations]
    Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.

    b) 11 Mushrooms of Vigor
    c) 25 Potions of Healing
    d) 21 Potions of *Healing*
    It can be thrown at creatures with damaging effect.

    e) 3 Potions of Life
    It can be thrown at creatures with damaging effect.

    Oops, I confused personal with home. :) I see you have plenty. I guess
    if you haven't fought the big fights you might use a lot more than I
    would, so it wouldn't hurt to stockpile a few more, but don't take any
    risks to do so.

    So long as you are wielding Nenya,

    You should be carrying all the heals you are collecting that you have
    stashed at home. That will save you 3 slots at home, and most likely
    you will find more so you have to devote an inventory slot to each of
    them on most remaining trips.
