// Wishing for enough potions of ultra healing and quickling blood to achieve
// 10 000 HPs and speed is *tedious*

// XP was scummed by wishing for AKWs in the SMC and cornering them into
// a tight passage before killing them with bouncing magic missiles. At around
// 700 million XP, even a level 100+ AKW was only worth 3-5 million XP. So I
// switched to greater molochs which are *much* worse because they can see
// invisible. Level 50+ greater molochs can easily inflict 10 000 points of
// damage in a single turn with speed reduced to 10 via slow monster,
// overburdened, etc.

Height: 6'3" Weight: 167 pounds Scars: 43
Age: 31 (grown-up)

YOUR HISTORY:
Your parents belong to the lower class. They were honest
hard-working people, who did everything to enable you to live a
comfortable and fine life. They were not very successful.
As a child your parents cared a lot for you. Despite all
circumstances you enjoyed a happy and fine childhood.
In your youth you worked a lot to become rich and famous later.
Consequently you rarely had enough time to play with other kids of your
age.
As a young adult you left your home because of trouble with your
parents. They opposed your plans for the future without understanding your
wishes. Thus you decided to live on your own. You wandered through the
country for many years, growing older and wiser and learning many things.
You decided to become a Wizard.

Good job! I particularly like "He cheated Death 156 times."

Which version is it that has the book caster talents and lets you wish for grand mastery?

Some guy: Level 100+ greater molochs in the SMC are mad! I died so many times - I just kept on equipping AoLSs and waited for the turns where the GMs wouldn't obliterate me in one go!

Warlord: 30K is the maximum spell memory possible.

I think that wishing for "dagger marks" grants it. The amount you get depends on your literacy. I don't remember axactly how, but IIRC, I once counted that, and the result was you need about 120-150 'dagger marks' wishes to achieve all the GMs. I may be wrong of course, so don't blame me if this isn't correct.
The rust monster touches your blessed Trident of the Red Rooster. Nothing happens. You laugh at the monster's pitiful attempt.

Ashandarei: Yes, that was it, IIRC. Though it is only useful in 1.1.x since in 1.0.0 that wish only gives one mark to all skills and thus would take tens of thousands of wishes to get all grand mastered.

Warlord: I can confirm Ashandarei's suggestion. Wishing for "dagger marks" with learning at 99 raised marks in everything by approx. 500 marks. So assuming you maintain high learning, you could achieve grandmastery in everything with approx. 100 wishes (which is pretty darn quick - approx. 10-15 min.) Obviously this could be done more quickly with a non-magic user class that requires less weapon marks.

Depend on which is your wishing engine. Book wishing 100 times continually is just more than torment. Np with ring wish engine though.

WOW!!!
im thinking a new standard has been set.
the definition of 'winning' has been set.
Gozer well done... i have been playing for years and never come close, how many hrs did you spend on that game? i spent 130 hrs w/ a friend beating ultima5... and i think we were 3rd or 4th to do it... this eclipses that by far WELL Done!!! a PURE ARCHMAGE.... ok go get some sun and a girl!!!!

LOL. Thanks for the compliments raven1. However, while I am really happy and proud of my victory, calling it a new definition of winning may be a bit of an over-statement! :p

Obviously I am not the first person to achieve an arch-mage victory, and the only thing that really separated me from others (based on a quick glance through the HOF) is achieving the XP limit - and even that wasn't really that difficult!

How many hours? Phew! It got spread out over months. Just reaching the point where I could book cast wish was half my playing time (i.e., the time that it normally took to finish the game was about half my total odyssey). The most tedious and time consuming part was achieving 10 000 HPs by wishing for approx. 5000 potions of ultra healing. That required approx. 2500 wishes and (at approx. 10 seconds a wish) that equates to at least 7 hours of non-stop book casting! And *that* doesn't even include wishing for enough water to bless them all, or the SoCRs necessary to keep cleansing corruption (I used the orb of mana for my wish engine - much better than using an altar).

If someone were really insane and just played non-stop then they could probably achieve it in about 24 hours or so - but I would hate to think of the mental trauma involved if there was a power cut!

Anyway, I am gonna take a short break from ADOM now. I have two more challenges that I want to complete: setting the record for highest score ever (I have some ideas on how to do that) as well as finishing Eternium Man (part of me doesn't believe that it is possible - but the new talent system does open up some possibilities).

Gozer: one could use the ?oRep abuse to instantly bless the lot. For those who don't know what this means:

Reading a *blessed* scroll of repair not only fixes an item or a pile of items but also blesses them. Also, a cursed scroll of repair breaks an item or pile of items. I tested this on 1.0.0 and don't know whether it works on 1.1.x, but it goes like this:

Have a pile of potions, say something like 56 potions of healing. Read a cursed scroll of repair and select the pile of potions. Now you will have a heap of 56 broken potions of healing (whoa). Next, read a blessed scroll of repair and select the pile - et voilá - a heap of 56 blessed potions of healing for the price of 2 ?oRep.

neat trick, i had always made (the SOLIDLY) logical assumtion that if a potion was BROKEN ect.ect. it was gone ala falling down the rift
if its broken its gone...
but after reading posts about rustproof or water proofing water resistant blankets and water proofing Potions of water.
this is a shit happens kinda thing, you plan on rust proofing something and a cat does the 'keyboard waltz' and poof some new tweeks are found..."the Peniciline Syndrome"
i think there are still lots of things in adom that haven been figured or decoded by dedicated cheaters, there are more tricks there.
but the potions, thats not even a bug, thats just dumbass luck, and should be fixed....
but for now this dumbass will use it!
thnx
