'''Wishing''' is an opportunity to gain any single [[item]] of the [[player]]'s choosing.
== Getting a wish ==
* Drinking from a [[Fountains|fountain]].
* Using the (X) command in wizmode, thorugh through which you will gain 5 scrolls of wishing.
== What to wish for ==
[[IVAN ]] has many useful items, but the following are good and rare enough to be a prime candidate candidates for wishing. ''WIP!''
=== Equipment ===
* Either an A magical [[:Category:Artifacts|artifact weapon]] or a [[thunder hammer]]: Way more powerful than normal weapons. Some also grants various grant [[Status Effects|magical effects]], other have special effects on hitting a foe. 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 since [[Release 0.50.9]], [[artifact]]s are no longer wishable, so you may be forced to . You can still wish for a different item if you pick one number of thesemagical weapons, though. Those wishable include:**Good candidates for wishing are: [[Axe of Sharpness]], [[Banshee sickle]], [[Chilling axe]], [[Flaming sword]], [[Rune sword]], [[Scythe of terror]], [[Taiaha]], [[Thunder hammer]], [[MjolakWhip of thievery]] **[[TuroxBeast claw]]: A rare weapon using [[Unarmed Combat]]skill, you might want to wish for it if you plan to use unarmed for the whole game. **A good [[Saal'Thulhelmet]]: Helmet of brilliance, helmet of piercing perception, or helmet of telepathy are probably the best picks. **[[VermisAcid Shield]]
* [[Cloak]] or [[Ring]] of [[Invisibility]]: Invisibility is a great tactical advantage, but it also causes much more dangerous monsters to be generated.
* [[Rings|Ring]] of [[Infravision]] * [[Ring]] of [[Polymorph|Polymorph Control]]: Very useful if you happen to have a way of polymorphing[[polymorph]]ing. Note that being very powerful may cause tough monsters like [[Dark Mage]]s to spawn, which is not nice if you encounter them after you have returned to your original form. * [[Ring]] of [[Teleport|Teleport Control]] * Ring of Detection * Ring of Unchanging
* [[Amulets|Amulet of Life Saving]]: Basically gives you a second life. That's a *lot*.
* [[Amulets|Amulet of Elemental Protection]]: Grants resistance to all elements. As you can be easily obliterated by any [[Trap#Landmine|mine]] in the [[Gloomy Caves]], this may save your life.
* [[Amulets|Amulet of Magic Breath]]:
* [[Amulets|Amulet of Phasing]]:
* [[Amulets|Amulet of Disease Immunity]]:
* [[Body armor|Armor of Great Health]]: If you have scrolls of enchant armor, this gives a huge boost to your [[HP]]s. Again, a broken one may have a better material, but usually you want to use a scroll of change material for this one, anyway.
* [[Belts|Belt of Levitation]] or [[Cloaks|Cloak of Flying]]: You're flying as long as you have this equipped. Makes you tougher to hit and nearly immune to [[Trap|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. * [[Tools#Pickaxes|Pickaxe]]: Your source of unlimited digging. [[Polypiling]] for one may be better, though. * [[Holy Handgrenade of Antioch]]
=== Magic Items ===
* [[Scroll of Change Material]]: This is a great way of improving your gear and limbs. Which [[materials]] you can wish for depends on your [[intelligence]]; thus you may wish to [[polymorph]] to a more intelligent [[Monsters|monster]] before using this. Good materials include eg. [[Phoenix Feather]], [[Mithril]] and [[Octiron]].
* [[Scrolls|Scroll of Body Switch]]: Switch bodies with a powerful monster and get all their abilities!
* [[Scrolls|Scroll of Taming]]: There is nothing like good [[pets]] but do not try to use this on any quest monster.
* [[Scrolls|Scroll of Immolation]]: You will be able to send a fireball even through walls with this scroll. Sadly, it only works once per scroll, so it's best paired with a [[Wand of Cloning]].
* [[Scrolls|Scroll of Charging]]: If you have a good [[wand]] and want it recharged for further use.
* [[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 Polymorph]]: Especially early in a game, you can use this wand for [[polypiling]] to quickly gather resources.
* [[Wand of Resurrection]]: 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.
* [[Musical Instrument|Magical Whistle]]: Handling more than two pets is almost impossible without this.
* [[Musical Instrument|Lyre of Charm]]:
* A magical [[horn]]: Either horn of healing, or horn of plenty.
* [[Sol Stone]]
* [[Large and Mysterious Saga of the Pantheon]]
* [[Celestial Monograph of Solicitus]]
== What not to wish for ==
* Money: You get [[Valuables|50 million roubles]] which sells for just 2 gold pieces.
* [[Banana|Gun]] or [[Carrot|Bazooka]]
