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 :D That ring and the ring of immunity is going to be a nice combo.

[Grey]

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.

[Nezur]

I guess it is possible to squelch those messages with Sage.

I'm having a real difficulty with this actually. I'm a high elf archer and had to save the carpenter for the healing skill. Short of a wish..I don't think it is possible to get Herbalism...and I can't get enough herbs. Never know when the bush will wither away...just frustrating.

[Kato]

This is weird. I have two uncursed rings of damage in my inventory, but for some reason they aren't stacking. Any idea why that would be?

[Grey]

The surefire way without Herbalism is to pick only one bush to death. When it regrows pick it to death again. Every two regrowths pick one from the other 3 bushes too (though I recommend doing that before you pick your main bush to death, in case of accidents). Much slower than if you have herbalism of course, and you only get cursed herbs, but it still works.

Different modifiers on each.

[Kato]

Different modifiers on each.

Really? I didn't think that rings of damage came with different modifiers...

[warheart]

Well, must be that, there can't be other reason. Just try it, as they're uncursed.

[Kato]

Can't try it...for the first and only time in my life, Adom crashed not too long after I found that second ring of damage. :eek: eheheh

[bolverk]

Some time ago i found a weird scroll. I didn't read it, i just idenified it. It's an IBM Guild manual. What does it do?

[gut]

The IBM guild manual confuses you. To the best
of my memory, it can only be removed by a diety.
