0.29.1 seed w/ early Wyrmbane, Punk, ?acq, and more, plus great Ds muts.

Seed: 18334199546629406935, v0.29.1

Wyrmbane on Maggie (D:10), Punk (Lair:1), ?acq in an early Bailey and another one somewhere in middle Dungeon or Lair. Also a +7 artifact shortbow, decent artifact ring w/ rPois and rF+, and a robe of the Archmagi all pre-Lair.

Also, excellent Ds mutations, especially for a caster or hybrid: mana shield, powered by death, rugged brown scales, robust, antennae.

Additionally, a lot of spell books in Lair and early Dungeon; some of the better spells found: BVC, Statue Form, Summon Forest, Summon Mana Viper, Blink, Mephitic Cloud, Iron Shot, Passwall, etc.

How is punk?

Is it end game viable?

Yes, I think so, the acid brand is very good. I've used it in other runs and it holds up reasonably well all the way through 15 runes. A highly enchanted hand xbow with a good brand might be better, but Punk is hard to beat in the category of one-handed ranged weapons.

These are literally the ideal megaziging muts, I'm gonna have to go for a megazig on this seed. Augmentation could replace robust but both are great. This is kinda nuts.

Yeah, IIRC I did something like 14 zigs w/ this seed before I just got bored and decided to go for the end. Probably could've kept going indefinitely. As you said, Aug could've been even better, since you can get robust from mut pots, and w/ zigs (and/or Pan scumming) you have an infinite supply, so you can play mut roulette until you have an optimal set. That said, w/ enhancers, high INT, and maxed skills, spell power was at 100% anyway, so Aug would've really only been good for the slaying bonus while silenced. Antennae also isn't the most useful body slot facet for zigs, but that's a minor thing.
