A great deal of my characters still don't get past Minetown even though I
have ascended several times (9 of them in 3.4.3)..
Are you always going to the Mines as soon as you find the entrance?
Not always, but often.
Have you tried first going further down the main dungeon and maybe solving
Sokoban before exploring the Mines?
Sometimes, but usually get those pesky @'s killed before finding sokoban...
....I'll start focusing on the sokoban run.
