Examining Items

[The Metro Gnome]

You know, with maxxed metallurgy and woodcraft, you will be able to make composite items. Composite long bow, just use wooden sticks and some iron ingots. Beats any other bow, except sun's messenger of course. And obviously pickaxes, with wooden handle and iron head.

Where does it say that in the improved guidebook? (the only reason i use that code-dived junk is because it's easier to use)

It's under the section "gullible".

Brings to mind a funny post from back in the brinkster days.
Someone mentioned a theory about why drakes took damage
in the ToEF's. They then mentioned that with woodcrafting at
100, a player should be able to fashion a cork and 'U'se it, as
a means of preventing said damage. They didn't suggest that
the cork was to go in the drakes mouth.

Is there any way to examine an item, e.g. to find out what kind of material my Bracers of Defense are made from?

A certain class power of the Weaponsmith can do that on sight. Unfortunately it comes pretty late for any real use and is sort of silly (the si is adamantium, but can't be melted; same with the Chaos Orbs =/)

Make sure, if your'e a drakeling, that you never fart in the ToEF. Make sure you get your woodcrafting skill up, and fashion a cork out of a wooden stick, then hit (u) to use it. Save one for the library too.

Or maybe that's why they get the speed boost, they're like rocket-propelled reptiles. Metabolism indeed.
