    just trying to point out the other types of merchants are decent too, thanks for the sarcasm. obviously being able to kill a hard guy at lvl 1 is neat, but definately not going to make the rest of the game easy.

    Orcish merchants e.g. start with an ordinary broadsword (recently, I picked the one with +3 hit modifier). Sometimes also, starting armor they possess is of higher quality (e.g. -1,+6).

    As for wand merchants - sometimes they have great starting set of wands, but sometimes a weak one.

    Finding a good shield improves merchants chances of going through the early game significantly.

    Speaking of merchants, potion merchant starting with invisibility isn't all bad either. Here's one with 94 turns.

    Here is also unexpectedly successful merchant. He crossed the UD and went back to Terinyo. I think it was thanks to ring of luck, that he had in starter pack.
