    I didn't notice any Toughness drain either, but since I tend to eat a crapton of swamp hydra and hill orc corpses, it's a bit hard for me to tell. Given gr3ybird's comment though, I'm going to guess...
  2. Randomly (or so it seems) permanently losing base Willpower?

    During the game, when pulling up my character information, I noticed that my base Willpower has dropped from its previous score of 26 to 23. I definitely didn't see any stat loss messages, and I...

    I tried several variations, like 3333 at a time, 5555 at a time, 8888 at a time, 20k at a time, and 80k + 20k, in addition to the whole amount at once.

    But I think I figured it out. I imagine it...
  4. Can't convert altar, despite offering 100k gold?

    I converted the Dwarftown altar to Chaotic, used it for a bit, and now am trying to get it back to Neutral. I noticed it was behaving oddly, so I made a backup for experimenting purposes and started...

    Reordering Skill List?

    Hello,

    I was wondering if I manually could re-order the list of skills. I'm aware you can quick-mark them, but I prefer to be able to be able to access skills I can't or won't quick-mark in two...
  6. Pick Pockets idea I thought of, which is probably no longer needed

    I wrote all this up, then I noticed that the feature was already implemented, but I didn't want this to be a complete waste :-/

    Make Pick Pockets a selectable fighting style (perhaps in the same...

    If you have been carrying around a huge rock for some reason, you can drop it on the anthole and the hole will stop generating monsters until the rock breaks, though huge rocks are quite rare during...

    General tips:
    There are some wilderness encounters that you should always try to evade in the early game, and should attempt to escape from immediately if ambushed. For me, these are the lone...

    Hmm, I just did some reading, and it seems that the Dwarven Graveyard level has the same DL as BUGWIL, but without the background corruption. Wouldn't that make the graveyard a much better place for...

    Update: I just remembered that a mysterious force would prevent you from kicking an object if you are inside a shop, so I tried it, and the pile of two uncursed hats slid to the east. Presumably, if...

    Wand of destruction?

    I've seen many references to this item, several saying that it supposedly simplifies the fight on D:50. What exactly does it do? In all the mentions of this item, I found not one explanation of how...
  15. Questions regarding D:48-50 and Chaos Gate mechanics

    According to the guidebook, it is not possible to travel up from D:48 after unlocking D:49. Yet most of the YAVP normal victory screenshots I find show the player in the wilderness leaving the...
  16. Traveling Mad Minstrel trick: best location for lightning lizards?

    Shopkeeper not providing services?

    Improving Darkforge yields?

    I recently had a very disappointing trip to Darkforge: no metal/hide armor of any kind (just clothes, robes, and leather), and no eternium weapons. This may have been because I was at a fairly low...
