Note that certain items like wands of cloning, scrolls of wishing or scrolls of charging cannot be cloned because this could be abused. It is therefore sometimes wise to drop more than five items in pile in case the game doesn't allow some to be cloned. If you have a powerful pet like [[Ivan]] or a [[mammoth]], you may lure it above the items so it will be cloned, too. You can also stand on the item pile and zap yourself, in which case you will be copied along with the stack. Note that when cloning a pet or yourself, the clone will be born without any equipment and only four items under it will be copied.

Wishing is an opportunity to be granted any item of the player's choice.

Getting a wish

There are several ways to obtain a wish, including:

  • Using (X) command in wizmode

What to wish for

IVAN has a lot of items but the following are extremely useful and rare enough to be a good idea for a wish. The data is accurate for v0.50.

  • Scroll of Taming: There is nothing like a good pet but do not try to use this on any quest monster.
  • Wand of Cloning: These by themselves are not useful, but if you do have some other useful item to clone, this is worth its weight in gold. With one charge you can clone a pile of five items. Note that certain items like wands of cloning, scrolls of wishing or scrolls of charging cannot be cloned because this could be abused. It is therefore sometimes wise to drop more than five items in pile in case the game doesn't allow some to be cloned. If you have a powerful pet like Ivan or a mammoth, you may lure it above the items so it will be cloned, too. You can also stand on the item pile and zap yourself, in which case you will be copied along with the stack. Note that when cloning a pet or yourself, the clone will be born without any equipment and only four items under it will be copied.
  • Wand of Ressurection: If you have managed to get a unique monster as a pet, this may be extremely useful. It may also be used to quickly replace lost limbs.
  • Cloak or Ring of Invisibility: Invisibility is a great tactical advantage, but it also causes much more dangerous monsters to be generated.
  • Ring of Polymorph Control: Very useful if you happen to have a way of polymorphing. Note that being very powerful may cause tough monsters like Dark Mages to spawn, which is not nice if you encounter them after you have returned to your original form.
  • Magical Whistle: Handling more than two pets is almost impossible without this.
  • Artifact weapon or thunder hammer: Way more powerful than normal weapons. Some also grants various magical effects. It is sometimes wiser to wish for a broken weapon instead of an intact one, since the game often generates better materials for broken items to compensate the need of repairing. Note that not all artefacts are wishable, so you may be forced to wish for a different item if you pick one of these. Those wishable include:
  • Holy Banana of Oily Orpiv: Has terrific explosive power which can aid you in boss battles. Also trains all attributes when eaten. Be sure to store this in a hard container like strongbox, because if it explodes in your inventory, you're in BIG trouble.
  • Armor of Great Health: If you have scrolls of enchant armor, this gives a huge boost to your HPs. Again, a broken one may have a better material, but usually you want to use a scroll of change material for this one, anyway.
  • Belt of Levitation: You're flying as long as you have this equipped. Makes you tougher to hit and nearly immune to bear traps and mines. Make sure something doesn't step on a mine if you're near one, though; you can still be hit by the blast.
