PCs can exploit certain game mechanics to get unlimited wishes

This is not technically a bug per se, but it is an exploit that is sufficiently bad that it may be worth consideration to be remedied. Essentially, a PC can exploit various game mechanics to get an unlimited supply of wishes, given a fairly small set of starting items. The setup looks like this:

  • Gather 19 identical rings (probably generated via gremlin bombing or similar techniques; finding 19 rings of any single type during an entire game is actually pretty low), and a handful of potions of exchange
  • Bless the potions and dip the rings into them at sufficiently high danger level (8 or more) to generate rings of djinni summoning. Since 19 rings can be dipped at once, a lucky PC can end up with 19 wishes from this alone.
  • The probability of getting a ring of djinni summoning is about 5% on the optimal level. If you wish for potions of exchange, you get an average of 3, so converting all wishes into potions (minus a few holy waters) gives ~57 PoEX. The odds of being able to get more RoDS is pretty high at this point, and there's a good likelihood of having excess PoEX as well. Once the PC builds up a critical mass of PoEX, they can effectively generate an infinite number of wishes through repeated dippings of the same set of rings (or, equivalently they can wish for more rings of various types and dip these to build up a larger pile of RoDS).
