A common question is this: how do you become as overpowered as possible? Of course, on of the very nice things about IVAN is that no matter how strong you are, somebody out there can whoop you, but there is an acceptable general equipment. While weapons are too much of a hot topic to argue about, A perfect loadout will probably have the following(excluding the obvious idea of high stats and highly enchanted valpurium/GEF/psypher gear):

Multiple Permanent Status Effects, especially ESP, Infravision, Polycontrol, Telecontrol, and Haste (see status effects for how to get them), A Cloak of Flying, An Amulet of Life Saving(or as many as you fancy), A Belt of Regeneration, Gauntlets of strength/dexterity (the latter more preferable), Boots of strength/agility (the latter more preferable), A copy of all your gear, some form of teleportation and a lot of it (wands preferred), Some form forms of fire, electricity , and magic resistance (can be your rings), (Antidote Liquid/Panacea/ A happy Seges), Scrolls of repair/ A happy Loriacatus, Some form of bravery (horn of bravery preferable), quick healing (Horn of Healing/Happy Seges preferable), some form of invisibility (Happy Cleptia/Wands Preferable), food (Troll Blood preferable), good allies (think permanent angels, Ivan, Vladimir, elite guards, necromancers, mages, mystic frogs, mistresses, resurrected named enemies, kamikaze dwarves ['''careful!'''])
