    Default drake merchant gate closer

    While the stats even as drake (scroll) merchant are good the equipment and skills are not.
    I also didn't get much luck in the early game, where my price posession was a +0+6 cloak that burned up.

    I didn't have a better armour than +0+8 until casino and no decent weapons other than big punch.

    I did get a wish ring for khelavaster.

    Got crowned with messenger boots, nice with death save resist on boots.

    Digging ogre caves gave me a rediculous amount of knowledge crystals.

    After much grinding with little result I went for TOEF and then casino, there the luck swung in my favour.
    Crown of leadership, +15 PV red dragon armour, a good stack of water and the various slaying ammo was a really nice addition.

    After casino I did Ice queen and frost giants with a nice GGV for a wish ring (find weakness) and black longsword (that I never used).
    Got some nice strength increases thanks to food preservation.

    Somewhere down below I found my third wish ring (I think I got archery).

    D45 had a GUV with 10 emperor liches, I cleared the outer part and skipped the inside, item detection showed a mace and wooden shield, I could do w/o both.
    Mace was purifier according to FLG and would have been nice but no biggie, shield was crappy natures crap crap shield.

    Somewhere in UL I found a wand of wishing 3 charges!
    I got concentration, dodge and 2 potions of strength.

    I realised I also hadn't used potion of exchange with success yet so I did that for wish number 7 and got a girdle of giant strength.

    Checking inventory I had a blue dragon scale and a stack of 30 dragon slaying quarrels, so I decided to stomp blue dragon caves.
    Nothing exiting really happened so I killed Karmic wyrm after reward for exp and more reward.

    Read up some fireball on ud1.

    Got Crown of Havlor on D49.
    Used speed potion and wished for speed (hrm counted wrong on wishes this is one more than I thought I got since I saved wand with 0charges).

    The speed was nice since I had to clear a mixed tension room first on D50, surprisingly weak tension room.

    Interesting on D50 was that a hit from writhing mass not only halves your speed but also remove all magical speed boost so I did jellies and co at 50-60 speed while it slowly rose back up.

    Lesson learned, if I can do TOEF, go for it asap and worry after casino.

    (Not one bracer of resistance or regen, not one helm of mental stability.
    The good shops that you want early on came below casino.)
