i've never had a problem watching the bugs multiply. i did it easily w/o food preservation. all you gotta do is clear all the rooms but the big one and just attack 6 or 7 at a time, eat the corpses then stand in sight of them and keep pressing ws. worked great for me i had all stats boosted, but only do it at a late level unless you can wish for emperor molochs or something. |

Perhaps this is a foolish question, but how do you get several stats to 99? From what I hear, you eat loads of bug corpses until your Dx is 99 and your Wi is 1, and then drink a potion of exchange. But doesn't that carry the risk that your St will go to 1 and you'll be crushed to death? |

yes it does, that's why you use several potions, blessed and uncursed. uncursed changes 4 stats and bls changes 2. as long as the stats don't move to willpower eat more corpses. |

I meant that if your St goes to 1, you'd probably be dead right away - no chance to drink any more potions. But I suppose you could hold the Fire Orb to prevent this, or even drop everything before you start drinking the potions of exchange. Even better, you could leave the bug temple after getting Dx to 99 and Wi to 1, do whatever else you want while training your Wi back up to 25 with morgia roots, then drink the potions of exchange, and go back to the bug temple once the 99 has been swapped out of Dx and Wi. That way you wouldn't be getting some stats to 1 while getting others to 99. If you were persistent, and had a high Food Preservation skill, you'd end up with every stat at 99 except for Wi which would be at 25. Sadly, I imagine that using the above strategy would generally be considered cheating, since in version 1.0.1 eating bug corpses will be made a lot less useful. |

IIRC blessed potion of exchange switches the greatest stat & least stat, eg: your Dx is 99 (greatest), and Wi 1 (least). you drink PoE, and after that you have Wi 99 ad Dx 1. Atleast until next killer bug ;) "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger" Lord of The Rings "Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will anger the cat lord" |

oops! I was wrong (very rare ;))))): Blessed will swap 6, uncursed 5, cursed 2 stats. "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger" Lord of The Rings "Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will anger the cat lord" |

Actually, it's the other way 'round. Blessed swaps 2, uncursed 5 and cursed 6. Locke Cole |

hehe, just got an idea. i've done it w/ claw bugs but haven't tried w/ the other flavors. play some music for a killer bug/greater claw bug, make it a pet, go somewhere and let it breed. pretty soon you'll have 3 loyal greater claw/killer bugs, and get 'em high level and you can kick some serious donkey. ivan.sourceforge.net |

Done that, had greater bugs as companions, BUT when they spawned others, the newborns(hostile) killed my pets :( Halaa puuta |

you can only have 3 companions, after that the spawnees are hostile/neutral. ivan.sourceforge.net |

What happens if you leave two loyal claw bugs in another place, then take the third and let it multiply? Will they be tame? Die Gedanken sind Frei |

Hmm...from a programmer's viewpoint, I BELIEVE (I am by no means certain) that they would be tame; I don't think TB would add in alot of extra code to check if you have more than three companions. If this works, you could build up an army of bugs (have one, let it spawn two, go up or down a level leaving two on that level, and repeat.) I'm not sure what would happen when you had more that three companions on one level; PRESUMABLY TB hasn't added in any code to check for that. If he has, the companions could look tame to you, but attack each other until they're down to three again. But again, I'm just theorizing on what TB has coded in. On second thought, it wouldn't be hard to check how many companions you have; just increase a variable by one whenever you get one, and reduce it when it dies. If anything, if it works, it's a bug that can be exploited. If not, I presume that someone found that bug and reported it to TB. btw, anyone else here a programmer? --- Hicpotboy ------ Hicpotboy --------- Less twitch, more mental itch - saying by me. |

as a lv21 hurthing wizzard w/ invisibility i was able to wipe the temple w/firebolt(+21-+24) the strength issue is solved by repeated strength of atlas spell. THEN use the potions of exchange+ some balance you end w/ Wi21 dex99 and a bunch of cool stuff girdle of carying saved me once too, overburdended! was not fun i lost 200 of 208 hps to one killer bug, but i teleported out in time...gotta be careful but its easy if you never melee and are invis.....corpse gen was never a problem |

I have a question waiting for answer. Is there a way to prevent the items from the statues getting cursed once you get them out. I remember that if the statues are being broken a message something like this will appear: "This act of pillaging makes you feel like a true hero". Does anyone know the way? |

No, IIRC they're always cursed so get a blessed scroll of uncursing ready. |
