Items Questions

[Kato]

I invite anyone to use this thread to ask about items they don't know about. Not sure what it does or it's meaning? Not sure on a good way to find a certain item? Ask here and I'm sure someone can help.

As for me...I do have a question. I just acquired an "uncursed ring of the clear mind". Never seen that one before...just what does it do?

Edit: Nevermind...I realized I had a scroll of greater identify. Protects against confusion attacks. Nifty.

It grants confusion resistance. This is extremely helpful in certain boss fights, especially if you have low willpower.

Which I do. Willpower is a 7 That ring and the ring of immunity is going to be a nice combo.

You'll definitely want to use herbs to get your Willpower higher then because not even a ring of the clear mind wil be enough against some bosses.

I found the mighty artefact Scroll of Cure Blindness. How and where do I use it, meaow?

[spectre]

You don't. It's a joke item. TB is one cruel German (-:

However, if you're really desperate for finding a use for them, dipping them into plain uncursed water yields a blank scroll, upon which you an write with a writing set.

I found out that they're useless on D49 too - they're too light to propel you along the ice. Same with herbs and some potions.

Here's an item question for discussion:

Phase Dagger vs *Weapon* of Penetration.

Is there any major differences between a phase dagger and a weapon with the suffix 'of penetration'?

[Jonas]

most notably damage and weapon type, also you can get higher metals of penetration which are not as easily destroyed as phaseblades.

[Grey]

Phase daggers also give an annoying message every time you hit an enemy with them, whilst penetration weapons just do the job without spamming the screen with long messages. A higher metal weapon of penetration is infinitely preferable to a phase dagger, especially if it's in a weapon type you've been specialising more in like polearms.
