I'm playing a troll barbarian now, to see how well I do without any magic. So far it's going well, I've had way more food than I need and way more carrying capacity than I'm used to. I got the potion of literacy from the dwarf, drank it and went to about 50 literacy, read a blessed scroll of identify, and my wands don't say how many charges they have. Also, when I eat a fortune cookie I can't read it. Is there anything I can do to see the number of charges in my wands, or am I stuck with it like this forever? I have 4 learning and 8 mana currently, if that matters. I realize this is a rare situation, so I'm not really expecting someone to know why this is happening. But I might get lucky.

I think you need a minimum of 6 or 7 learning in order to know how many charges a wand has. "Your alternatives are locked, wisehead!" |

Thanks, that gives me hope. I'd have 6 learning already from a potion, but I figured I'd get 25 from crystals of knowledge first. But it's hard training gemology and mining with almost no level advancements... and only one pick that costs 10500 to fix... The following is a real Adom message: The homunculus hits you.

Instead of digging with a pick axe you could let monsters dig through walls for you. Rooms with ants are particularly good at this. Gems can be generated this way (along with rocks and ore) and it will train gemology too. It costs a lot to repair a pick but maybe you have a scroll of repair somewhere in your inventory.

also you should bless the pick axe, iirc this helps it from breaking so often "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |
