00:05 [hdf-us] [evil] splungetoo (Rog Dro Mal Cha) killed the Goblin King, on T:1980 (0:12:28) 00:13 [hdf-us] [evil] splungetoo (Rog Dro Mal Cha), 4157 points, T:3576, killed by a bone crossbow bolt 00:14 you get a short burst of intrinsic displacement. Great for crowded encounters 00:19 that's neat 00:23 <@Silken> first game of Evilhack, drank from a forge and died 00:23 <@Silken> would do again 00:27 <@Silken> got food poisoning and died 00:28 <@Silken> I have a feeling this is going to keep happening for a while 00:38 <@Loggers_VIII> forges are pretty great if you can stifle the urge to incinerate your throat 00:39 <@Loggers_VIII> even if you don't use them to make weapons and shit, they're good for dipping zombie corpses in 00:41 <@Silken> makes sense- I tried to use the forge but was told I needed a blacksmithing hammer 00:41 <@Silken> in my current run I got caught in a magical explosion and apparently gained quite a lot of maximum energy from that, which is nice 00:42 <@Loggers_VIII> ahh it's great when that happens, random magic trap effect 00:42 not as fun as the "It smells kinda funky in here!" one 00:42 <@Loggers_VIII> the blacksmith's hammer is always in a chest in a cell by the forge in goblin town - there's only one, so be careful with it if you wanna forge stuff 00:43 <@Loggers_VIII> tinklebear: is that the hallu version of "it smells like charred flesh"? 00:43 it's an alternate trap-destroying effect 00:43 it makes you hallucinate 00:44 for a while 00:44 longer than a black light, I think, and it seems like it's shorter than a violet fungus 00:45 <@Loggers_VIII> huh, i've never gotten this 00:45 <@Loggers_VIII> i mean, i've gotten the hallu thing. not the funky message 00:45 hm 00:46 interesting 00:47 I recently found out that there's a decent chance to bless things by forge dipping, if you have obtained good luck 00:48 I had not known this 00:48 best for metallic stuff (for fairly obvious reasons) 00:48 yeahbut you need positive luck, I think. otherise 00:48 *yeah 00:48 what did I document... 00:48 but you need the positive luck, or you're just tempting fate to blow up the forge 00:48 the article just needs recipe updates 00:48 <@Loggers_VIII> i wanna say it's like 6 luck 00:49 <@Loggers_VIII> (and above) 00:49 Yep 00:49 oh. yeah, maybe that 00:49 <@Silken> so I stepped in water and all my spellbooks and scrolls got erased 00:49 +6 luck 00:49 so, super good luck then 00:49 not unreasonable but takes some Work 00:49 <@Silken> I forgot that's what happens, haven't played nethack for a while 00:49 <@Loggers_VIII> i recommend adding paranoid confirmation for liquid to your config 00:49 any given "good luck" item means you're halfway there 00:50 <@Loggers_VIII> i forget the syntax. is it just OPTIONS=paranoid_confirmation:liquid ? 00:51 now all you need is some ink, @Silken 00:52 <@Loggers_VIII> hah, the evilhack dungeon sadly is going through quite the ink shortage as opposed to vanilla 00:52 heh 00:52 <@Silken> is there a difference in mechanics or just drop rates? 00:52 <@Loggers_VIII> magic markers just don't spawn randomlyl 00:52 <@Loggers_VIII> *randomly 00:52 <@Silken> does that mean there's a fixed number? 00:53 sometimes there is one in the goblin king's throne room chest 00:53 but not very often 00:53 you have a coin-flip chance of getting one from the top of sokoban, if you pick the door that has a magical tool 00:54 <@Silken> never mind, died to a swarm of pirahnas 00:54 <@Loggers_VIII> well, saying they don't generate randomly is a little misleading. they won't deathdrop, generate on the floor, and you can't get them from polypiling. there's small chances of them in multiple special levels, like the ice queen's realm, goblin town, the hidden dungeon, rodney's tower. and there's always one in the sanctum 00:54 <@Silken> makes sense. but does that mean that there's a maximum number you can get? 00:54 <@Loggers_VIII> and 50% chance of one in soko as tinklebear says 00:54 you can wish em 00:54 <@Loggers_VIII> not technically, you can wish for them 00:54 <@Silken> true 00:55 so in theory no but in practice you're not getting very many every game 00:55 but ideally you shouldn't need but so many either 00:55 <@Loggers_VIII> i wanna say the most you could get without a wish is six? 00:55 <@Loggers_VIII> that's like, never-gonna-happen odds though 00:56 <@Loggers_VIII> actually, seven 00:56 also the forge blessing is a 1/15 thing and doesn't do anything (besides usual effects) if you don't have the 6 luck 00:56 when you roll that, I mean 00:56 yeah. you need the luck 00:56 <@Loggers_VIII> goblin king, ice queen, vecna, sanctum, hidden dungeon, rodney, sokoban 00:56 forge exploding can only happen with negative luck 00:57 <@Loggers_VIII> worth noting is that the forge blessing thing only works on metallic items 00:57 yeah I mentioned 00:57 oh really, Umbire? zero luck won't explode it? 00:57 <@Loggers_VIII> so don't spend a billion years trying to bless a magic key 00:57 it might be 0 or less, it might be "below 0" 00:57 yeah, I don't know either 00:57 <@Loggers_VIII> it's below 0 i think 00:57 fountain.c says... 00:57 I mean I wrote it down as negative, but I'm double checking here 00:58 yep, below 0 00:58 <@Loggers_VIII> i believe at 0 and above, the lava just surges up and splashes on you instead 00:58 3d8 fire damage, yes 00:58 cool. thanks for checking 00:58 <@Loggers_VIII> i'm on fire today 00:58 :D 00:58 <@Loggers_VIII> eh? fire? eh? eh? 00:58 the forge article has majority of the mechanics accounted for, just the forging item recipes I have to deal with 00:58 since they diverged between hackem and evil 00:59 * Umbire rewards Loggers with a scroll of fire 00:59 <@Loggers_VIII> hell yeah 00:59 ... 00:59 <@Loggers_VIII> that sounds like a nightmare to document re: hackem/evil diverging on recipes 01:00 in practice not especially, I can prob. set aside some time to just 01:00 stare at each game's fountain.c for like 30 minutes 01:01 real issue is there's like 5000 different things I have to do that sorta thing for 01:01 I just got down the "Vlad stops vampire geno" thing along with slotting out an article for him, splitting Lifestealer properly, etc. etc. 01:02 JUST got down the hackem monster spell changes 01:02 <@Loggers_VIII> i wrote down all the evilhack forging recipes for some reason and it took me an embarrassingly long time 01:03 it's a lot of recipes 01:03 <@Loggers_VIII> you really should be able to select a page from the blacksmith's cookbook i think 01:03 heh, I still reread it 01:04 <@Silken> so there's a mace called Demonbane in a shop 01:04 <@Silken> not that I can presumably use it as a wizard anyway even if I managed to steal it (or pay 48k gold) 01:05 you can but you'll be restricted in the skill and it'll likely blast you 01:05 <@Loggers_VIII> yeah, wizards in evilhack aren't big on weapons 01:05 if it were me specifically I'd see about stealing it just because I could tbh 01:05 <@Loggers_VIII> force bolt is overpowered af so it doesn't matter much 01:06 <@Silken> I've noticed that, yes 01:06 <@Loggers_VIII> (early game, anyway) 01:06 <@Loggers_VIII> the pw cost scales with your skill in attack spells, so if you want to keep the cost at one point hold off advancing for a bit 01:09 if you know what you want to forge, then "/? name-of-item" tells you the recipe 01:10 and if you don't know what you want to forge, then why not page through the manual at random anyways? 01:10 I'm not personally arguing for this. just pointing out the logic 01:10 <@Silken> oh, hey, boots of speed 01:11 <@Silken> (different run) 01:11 <@Loggers_VIII> here's my logic: why can't my character flip to a page in the book they choose 01:12 very fair question 01:12 where is the table of contents 01:14 <@Loggers_VIII> I like viewing some sections (like ones for racial gear) all at once, since the recipes branch off from each other and i can see how to forge what i want and how to forge the components 01:15 <@Loggers_VIII> small gripe of course though 01:15 it's a totally fair point 01:15 it's why i still reread the manual 01:16 <@Loggers_VIII> it was when i was rereading the book many times as a drow ranger that i finally caved and wrote my own on some scrap paper :p 01:16 I mean, I know the recipes I use by heart, but I like to try to digest the bigger picture, slowly, little by little 01:17 <@Loggers_VIII> some of that drow stuff can take a while to be available cuz you need not only drow arrows but drow crossbow bolts too 01:17 (and actually, for my slow-digest purpose, the rando page-flip mechanic works well) 01:17 <@Loggers_VIII> i know most of the recipes aside from polearms because polearms are laaaaaaaaaame 01:18 hah. of course you would say that 01:18 you're just trying to goad me :D 01:18 but you get stacks of dark elven arrows but not the bolts? 01:19 I get bolts, but hardly any arrows 01:19 <@Loggers_VIII> as a ranger you start with a ton of arrows 01:19 ah. yeah 01:19 I see 01:19 I don't do ranger much 01:20 <@Loggers_VIII> some polearms actually do have my respect, but of course i don't ride so for me they are largely junk 01:20 <@Loggers_VIII> maybe i will play some more centaurs 01:21 <@Loggers_VIII> YANI: drow rangers have a chance to start with a hand crossbow and a stack of bolts, rather than a bow and arrows 01:22 I'll just play more rogues, and make sure I have bones turned on 01:24 I guess a ranger wants to make the short sword or something? 01:25 or are you just wanting a big stack of daggers? 01:25 <@Loggers_VIII> i want a good broadsword mostly 01:25 ah. i always forget the broadsword 01:25 I see 01:25 <@Loggers_VIII> daggers too though 01:26 <@Loggers_VIII> it kind of annoys me that i have to wait so long to get it, because it's not even that good :p 01:26 <@Loggers_VIII> i just think it's cool 01:26 heh, I know the feeling 01:27 <@Loggers_VIII> damn, it's late. time for me to go pass out 01:27 good night 01:27 past my bedtime too 01:28 good luck, @Silken 01:28 <@Loggers_VIII> night o/ 01:28 <@Silken> thank you! 01:28 \o 01:28 -!- tinklebear has left #evilhack 01:50 Almost all the polearm recipes involve spears 03:02 -!- mobileuser has joined #evilhack 03:25 [hdf-us] [evil] Merc (Rog Dro Mal Cha), 76 points, T:171, killed by a black pudding 04:20 [hdf-us] [evil] Koeranen (Ran Elf Fem Neu) chose an elven dagger to be named "Sting", on T:729 (0:03:03) 05:07 -!- Umbire has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 05:08 -!- Umbire has joined #evilhack 06:00 -!- mode/Hecubus [+Ziw] by Hecubus 06:00 -!- osmium.libera.chat changed the topic on #evilhack to: EvilHack: a NetHack variant ¤ https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack ¤ public irc logs available at hardfought.org ¤ version 0.9.0 available for public play on #hardfought ¤ see https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/EvilHack for gameplay information ¤ Bug tracker and future development ideas - https://www.hardfought.org/etherpad/p/EvilHack ¤ https://redd.it/1i8itv1 06:00 -!- mode/#evilhack [+v Hecubus] by ChanServ 06:11 -!- mobileuser has quit [Quit: Client closed] 06:33 -!- aosdict has joined #evilhack 06:54 -!- mobileuser has joined #evilhack 07:03 ab mobileuser 07:03 ab Umbire 07:03 the blasting thing from the other day was alignment record stuff, which hadn't come up since I'd been testing with everything not a draugr up to that point 07:04 also keolewa and to a lesser extent giantslayer has their evil stuff noted 07:06 bit more meat on harbinger to boot 07:08 heh yeah I saw the negative alignment thing in the irclog 07:16 anything you think urgently needs addressing?

I've got a wish from a smoky potion, and I never know what to use it on in Evilhack. I'm a wizard, who doesnt currently have any scrolls of enchant armor or charging. I do not have charging identified. I have a lot of blank scrolls. Thoughts on if I should go for dragon scale, or dragonhide gloves of something, or a cornuthaum, or any other recomendations? I'm currently in Fort 09:09 Ludios, with a hostile mind flayer waiting outside on the other side of the portal 09:11 if you are early and not sure what to do, there is always the dragonhide t-shirt of decay/esp/excellence 09:11 or the fireproof oilskin toque 09:11 if you want to just ignore the mind flayer 09:11 a fireproof oilskin toque is decent ascension gear 09:12 If I'm reading the wiki right as well, the first artifact I wish for always comes without its owner, right? 09:12 nope 09:12 no no no 09:13 do not wish for a quest artifact unless you are prepared for the wielder/wearer 09:13 and i would avoid wishing for a non-quest artifact until you've seen what your upper dungeon altars give you 09:13 ok, wiki may need to be updated: "The odds that a wished artifact will not come with its owner is also 1⁄X + 1, where X is the number of previous artifact wishes made." 09:14 what is your level, what is your gear? 09:14 ...and race 09:15 gnome , level 11, wizard, nothing great gear wise, got the amulet of magic resistance and a robe, then random armor. I do have a pet Golden Naga who is helping me out a lot. 09:16 what alignment? 09:16 dragonhide armor has been my go-to for various things, but I lost my last good character at the quest and the dark one's tentacles really did a number on me, so I am more wary of mind flayers right now. Neutral Alignment 09:17 [hdf-us] [evil] DragonSidedD (Mon Hum Mal Cha), 2859 points, T:2457, killed by a chameleon called Chris 09:17 in your place i'd probably do blessed +3 dragonhide speed boots if you think you can handle the mind flayer yourself at range, otherwise blessed +3 fixed oilskin toque 09:17 I'm pretty sure I cannot genocide mind flayers right now? or is that just 'h' with blessed I cannot do 09:17 you can genocide them 09:18 blessed will genocide 2 random monsters from h, not worth it at all 09:18 but personally i think that is a waste of genocide, if genocide is your only other option, get the oilskin toque 09:18 would a magic marker to mass produce enchant armor and a scroll of genocide be useful, or woudl you still recommend the toque? 09:18 ok 09:18 the toque will also make you immune to satyr pipes 09:19 and later, celestial dragon sonics 09:19 thats good too. yeah, never had that in regular nethack, lets try it out 09:19 my first genocide is normally beholders after tal'gath, unless i get it really early and use it on gel cubes 09:19 [hdf-us] [evil] coplate (Wiz Gno Fem Neu) made her first wish - "blessed fixed +3 oilskin toque", on T:21368 (3:48:20) 09:20 it is also a very good idea in the early dungeon to carry a scroll of genocide if you have one, in case you unexpectedly find yourself dying to a creeping mound, cube, etc 09:21 I'm going to go see if I can take care of that mind flayer, be back in a bit 09:21 good luck! 09:22 yep, easy peasy. he landed about 6 tentacle attacks on me though, thanks for the recomendation :-D 09:22 it is also nice because there can be player monster illithids and draugr you cant genocide who will both mess up your head without it 09:25 [hdf-us] [evil] xialg (Rog Hum Mal Cha), 902 points, T:1787, killed by a bugbear 09:27 [hdf-us] [evil] DragonSidedD (Mon Hum Mal Cha), 175 points, T:110, killed by falling down a mine shaft 09:36 [hdf-us] [evil] splungetoo (Rog Dro Mal Cha), 12917 points, T:8006, killed by a wolf, while being terrified of a ghost 09:47 Welp, a beholder just cast it's stoning gaze at me and my pet. I have a blessed magic lamp I *might* be able to use before it becomes permanent. I prayed too recently becuase I couldn't be bothered to go back to the pile of food 09:48 [hdf-us] [evil] DragonSidedD (Mon Hum Mal Cha) killed the Goblin King, on T:2741 (0:20:27) 09:48 wow, really early for beholders! guess you dont have warning... how many rounds do you have? no lizard in open inventory? no blindfold? 09:49 the lamp is just as likely to puff and not give you a wish before you are stoned so it is a really bad option 09:49 I have a towel on now, I just forgot about beholders in evilhack. 09:49 no acid, not lizard 09:49 so you have already used a single round? 09:50 "You meet the beholder's lethargic gaze. You slow down." 09:50 then you used the blindfod? 09:50 "The invisible golden naga's extremities are stiffening." 09:50 The invisible golden naga's extremities are stiffening. 09:50 yeah your naga is toast, ignore him 09:50 yeah, then I used the blindfold 09:51 so you have a single turn left i think before your limbs are petrified 09:51 ok, so the lethargic gaze is not the same as the stoning gaze? 09:51 ohhhh, you just got slowed? hahaha 09:51 then you are cool 09:51 just kill the bastard blindfolded 09:51 phew! 09:51 sorry, wasnt paying enough attention :-) 09:52 no, I wasnt either! 09:52 can always unstone the naga at a later date 09:52 I thought I was on the first round of the paralysis 09:52 i thought you werent that low in the dungeon, beholder may be a chameleon 09:52 or the result of a poly trap 09:53 i often dont see a single beholder until after the castle 09:53 I've found Magic Eyes? before in th Ludios, but I dont remember about beholders. 09:53 magic eyes are much earlier 09:53 [hdf-us] [evil] DragonSidedD (Mon Hum Mal Cha) eschewed atheism, by dropping a hexagonal amulet on an altar, on T:3504 (0:25:36) 09:53 warning is super-critical for gel cubes, creeping mounds, beholders 09:54 OK, lets see if I can avenge my boy 09:54 i have never encountered a beholder before getting lizard corpses unless it was because of a shapechanger or poly trap 09:55 wand of death to the rescue, I'm sorry Naga, I have to abandon you here and run away! 09:57 once you are blindfolded beholders arent that dangerous, wouldnt spend a death charge on one 09:57 he was in a massive throng of monsters, and I just wanted to end him :-) 09:58 I'm going to go back up and collect some more useful stuff 09:58 Thanks again for the help 09:58 my pleasure! 10:02 sweet 10:03 been running errands and stuff all morning, finally able to sit down and check irc :P 10:08 nothing to behold here 10:10 [hdf-eu] [evil] Kaizo (Wiz Ith Fem Cha) murdered her faithful pseudodragon, on T:16 (0:00:07) 10:14 [hdf-us] [evil] xialg (Rog Hum Mal Cha) killed the Goblin King, on T:3778 (0:32:30) 10:23 krm26 hah 10:26 -!- malor_ has quit [Quit: Leaving...] 10:27 -!- malor has joined #evilhack 10:29 -!- qt has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds] 10:33 [hdf-us] [evil] coplate (Wiz Gno Fem Neu) had Magicbane bestowed upon her by Thoth, on T:25926 (5:02:07) 10:34 -!- qt has joined #evilhack 10:35 a wish and a forge away from the staff of the archmagi coplate! 10:37 [hdf-us] [evil] xialg (Rog Hum Mal Cha) chose an elven dagger to be named "Sting", on T:5828 (0:55:40) 10:40 any thoughts on trading the magic lamp for that staff? since it gives off light.

I'd probably think about it now if i had a wish 13:25 actually i'd wish for polymorph i think 13:25 and i go for the tool a lot in soko if i don't have a BoH 13:25 I pick tool every time 13:25 you wish for markers a lot? 13:25 even if I have BoH 13:25 yeah 13:25 I think it 13:26 it's just that i changed my playstyle SO much because of the lack of markers, that i have learned to play without them 13:26 they were a HUGE part of my game in vanilla 13:26 that makes sense 13:26 cuz you can poly unihorns etc. 13:27 I probably would make about half my wishes for markers, if it weren't that sometimes you really want "that one thing", you know 13:27 right 13:27 i'm just starting to play again (girlfriend left) so i've barely played with the new wand of wishing system 13:28 I used to skip Vecna, and won't now! 13:28 heh 13:28 [hdf-us] [evil] Merc (Rog Dro Mal Cha), 1561 points, T:4184, killed by a giant ant 13:28 i would just do the graveyard and the level under usually 13:28 actually I haven't been to the castle since the change 13:29 I'm probably going to continue skipping Vecna, but yeah I have considered it 13:29 like you say, once you get used to doing without something... 13:30 oh so you skipped too? 13:30 I thought I was the only one 13:30 Vecna? yeah. every time 13:30 not for me 13:30 see? that's why he put the wand there... 13:30 hehe 13:30 you don't like my branch eh? 13:31 lol 13:31 I don't want to die 13:31 [hdf-us] [evil] dbanethacker (Val Hum Fem Neu), 752 points, T:1502, killed by a flind 13:31 right lol 13:31 but do you do crazy conducts in evil? 13:31 sure. because they are fun 13:31 [hdf-us] [evil] DragonSidedD (Mon Hum Mal Cha) acquired the luckstone from Mines' End, on T:5795 (0:49:58) 13:31 exciting 13:31 oh for sure 13:32 but... doing a super risky side quest? 13:32 nah 13:32 [hdf-us] [evil] DragonSidedD (Mon Hum Mal Cha) hit with a wielded weapon for the first time, on T:5824 (0:50:21) 13:32 i have weaponless going, and pretty much always try to get it (cuz i always play monk) 13:32 sure 13:32 but i don't really do any others 13:32 i just try to ascend 13:32 (not die) 13:33 I like playing with pets, but i usually don't have the patience.. I'm trying to get better at that 13:33 [hdf-us] [evil] bouquet (Sam Hum Fem Law) killed the Goblin King, on T:1526 (0:10:17) 13:33 i have some cats and a green u right now that i'm trying to find 13:33 I like Titans though 13:33 :D 13:34 I do like how they bop around 13:34 here, there, now over there "Boop de boop de do" 13:34 [hdf-us] [evil] bouquet (Sam Hum Fem Law), 1519 points, T:1612, killed by a giant bat 13:34 they're just sorta scatting the whole time 13:36 anyway, side quests I need to ask myself, is the risk worth the reward? 13:37 and with no MR, the reward would have to be pretty damn big to make Vecna a worthwhile bet 13:37 I only kill vecna so I can geno arch liches 13:37 heh 13:38 yeah, I kind of like fighting the purple L 13:38 so personally, no appeal there 13:39 but that is a good rationale for sure 13:41 also.... maybe I kind of like the fact that there are spaces in the dungeon that are still mysterious to me 13:41 places I haven't explored yet 13:42 that's probably part of it 13:44 when you freeze lava, the ground stays lit 13:45 I had not noticed that before 13:45 I just hate monsters that can summon swarm. 13:46 purple L and vampire mage. 13:46 yeah, those are tough customers! 13:47 V mage are worse, I think ... they are quite a bit faster than the L 13:48 although they seem to be much less tanky, thankfully 13:53 [hdf-us] [evil] dbanethacker (Val Hum Fem Neu), 1495 points, T:2365, killed by a rothe 13:54 hm. I just realised: the speed difference ... isn't as important if you are immune to ToD 13:55 [hdf-us] [evil] bouquet (Sam Hum Fem Law) killed Gollum, on T:1547 (0:08:32) 13:56 [hdf-us] [evil] bouquet (Sam Hum Fem Law), 1606 points, T:1917, killed by a bolt of cold 13:56 :( 13:57 !lastgame bouquet 13:57 tinklebear: [hdf-us] https://www.hardfought.org/userdata/b/bouquet/evilhack/dumplog/1744220821.evil.html 13:58 I'm just zoomin' around hoping for a lucky start. 13:58 [hdf-us] [evil] Merc (Rog Dro Mal Cha), 188 points, T:1316, killed by a gold arrow 13:58 so much death in the goblin king zone, too bad no bones there 13:58 heh 13:59 it'd be cool if those bones could be randomly found in the main dungeon. The body will have a note from the goblin king "...let this be a warning..." 13:59 like a gangster dumped a body outside a shop as a warning 14:00 columbian necktie 14:01 "There is a mutilated human corpse here." 14:03 so it would be a named corpse, but not a grave (since they did not die on that square) 14:04 I guess the note would be a scroll of mail 14:04 on top of the corpse 14:05 In the past when a chest is getting looted at the castle you see a message that you heard someone rummaging or something like that.. Do you guys know if it gives a message when they are looting the magic chest too? 14:05 I expect it does, rebatelo, but can't tell you for certain 14:05 I imagine I've heard it, though 14:06 well, obviously it SHOULD 14:06 I'm pretty sure I have 14:06 k tx 14:07 the way to make absolutely certain would be to go back to sokoban, where the chest is right next to the stairs 14:07 but I wouldn't want to make that trip 14:10 [hdf-us] [evil] bouquet (Sam Hum Fem Law) killed the Goblin King, on T:1716 (0:09:52) 14:12 [hdf-us] [evil] DragonSidedD (Mon Hum Mal Cha) polymorphed his first object, on T:9617 (1:24:58) 14:17 [hdf-us] [evil] DragonSidedD (Mon Hum Mal Cha) changed form for the first time, becoming an imp, on T:10569 (1:29:51) 14:19 [hdf-us] [evil] DragonSidedD (Mon Hum Mal Cha), 23081 points, T:10815, suffocated by a water elemental 14:23 what do you mean? go there and let a monster loot it and see? i mean, it's not gonna help me now 14:23 I'm just curious if i missed a message (VERY possible) or if it doesn't give a message like normal chests 14:24 and if that's the case whether it's intentional or an oversight. But like i've lost items before by accidentally leaving it unlocked in soko and then going to Ludios and I don't think i noticed right away as it was happening 14:24 but i am guilty of carelessly missing messages all the time 14:25 damn cat ate my wraith 14:26 I mean, go there and see if it's locked. and then, if it is not locked, lock it 14:27 to keep it from getting looted while you storm the castle 14:28 but it seems like a kind of extreme measure, unless you have strong suspicion it's unlocked 14:29 but I don't know. maybe travel is easy and you have loads of food or something 14:29 OTOH, if you're only hunting down where your missing book has already gone off to, then yeah I guess it's not useful 14:30 the point about soko is just that it's the one location where you are sure to get to the chest before a monster can 14:35 yeah i used to always keep my stash under a boulder in soko 14:36 i'm still getting used to having using the chest, and I don't always get the magic key right off the bat so i will still keep my stash there. But that's actually a problem (for me) because it's SO easy to leave that box unlocked cuz it IS so safe 14:37 and then you get to Ludios and if you don't notice right away it sucks . I'm pretty sure that was the whole point of making it like that. It's even in the release notes I think, and I think it's fun even though I've gotten screwed a few times. It's Evil... 14:38 just wondering if you have to notice and far look the chest and go oh snap it's unlocked (which is what I've done) 14:38 [hdf-us] [evil] bouquet (Sam Hum Fem Law) rejected atheism by offering a rock gnome corpse on an altar of Amaterasu Omikami, on T:4557 (0:38:06) 14:38 because I'm leaning the other way- I don't think it does give the messages like it does normal boxes 14:39 it would be easy enough to test (but I'm not going to do it now!!) 14:39 heh 14:39 i could go unlock it in ludios and come back to the castle and see if it gives messages as they loot it lol 14:39 :D 14:39 but yeah no 14:39 i've had them loot and get the castle wand more than once 14:40 oof 14:40 although it was a long time ago one of the early versions 14:40 oh yeah and one time they wished up an archon figurine 14:40 it got REAL bad 14:40 hah 14:40 I had to skiip the castle for a while 14:41 it's funny the wishes they will make 14:41 there's like a whole list 14:41 (well, it's funny when it isn't happening to you) 14:41 probably funnier then, yeah 14:42 I was wondering what kind of delicious food an orc captain might wish for.. 14:42 ...but then I remembered that most monsters won't eat unless they're tame.. 14:43 ...or need an emergency cure 14:43 which is a little weird, because soldiers lug around those K/C-rations 14:44 i was thinking early wishes are a LOT more valuable these days with the new wand thing 14:44 i had a couple lamps in my other game early, but like fountain wishes and smoky potions etc. 14:44 are huge now 14:45 huger than they were? 14:45 well, i dunno 14:45 if you don't get any early wishes you get 2 wishes from the wand instead of 6? 14:45 might get the wrest 14:45 I know it wasn't always 6 14:45 right 7 14:46 but it wasn't 2 14:46 I've gotten the wrest twice now, on the (1:X) castle wand 14:46 2 for 2 tries 14:46 man, I don't think i ever have since it changed 14:46 :( 14:46 i never count on it 14:46 sure. wise 14:47 but early wishes are survival-enhancers, right? 14:47 or critical game-progression type items 14:47 yeah 14:47 when I said early wish I guess I meant any wish pre-castle 14:47 not necessarily like DL 2 or wahtever 14:47 ah I see 14:48 i mean, sometimes i'm wishless when i get to the castle 14:48 sure. most of the time, I imagine 14:48 at least, I usually am 14:48 and now you have to decide 2 things to wish for.. So finding random stuff on the ground or bones or whatever is huge too f 14:49 (not like it wasn't before but you know) 14:49 yeah, I get you 14:49 are you going to do vecna now/ 14:49 ? 14:49 hehe 14:49 I really don't see the point, given my situation 14:49 i'm gonna be pissed when i die there 14:49 because i have no strat at all!! 14:49 I think i've killed him once 14:50 maybe twice 14:50 but i never try like you 14:50 like, you'd go there for the extra wishes? 14:50 yeah i think i'm gonna have to 14:50 where is the other wand? there is a third right? 14:50 no idea 14:50 don't know 14:50 hehe i'm gonna look it up 14:51 cool 14:52 I mean, I've got a marker (0:28), I've got my amulet of unchanging, and if there's anything I'm missing that I still want (telecontrol, free action) it'll probably turn up randomly or on an NPC at some point 14:53 oh i didn't mean this game 14:53 I've used up the castle wand, so if I need an emergency wish I'm kinda screwed 14:53 I meant in general 14:53 oh, I see. yeah, but this game right now is pretty typical for me 14:53 right on 14:54 two or three wishes works out pretty well, I think 14:54 but then again, I've only gotten to the planes three times... 14:54 oh wow we have similar stats 14:54 i'm in the valley too -29ac 14:54 heh, cool 14:55 you have like 5x the PW i have though :( 14:55 the magic chest is a container. if a monster loots any container and you can see them do it or close enough to hear it, you'll get the rummaging feedback 14:55 cool 14:55 thanks! 14:55 "close enough to hear it" <-- good to know 14:56 just couldn't remember and wasn't going to test at the castle! 14:56 yeah, knights get a lot of Pw 14:56 i'm missing some spellbooks and just didn't know if i lost or if monster looted the chest 14:56 i might start playing knights.
