{{Spoiler}}

== Getting a wish ==
There are several ways to obtain a wish, including:
* Reading a [[Scrolls|scroll of wishing]].
* Rubbing an [[Light source|oil lamp]].
* Drinking from a [[Fountains|fountain]]. * Using the (X) command in wizmode, through which you will gain 5 scrolls of wishing.
* Using (X) command on wizmode
== What to wish for ==
[[IVAN ]] has a lot of many useful items , but the following are extremely useful good and rare enough to be a good idea for a wish. The data is accurate prime candidates for v0.50wishing.
''WIP!'' === Equipment === * A magical [[Scroll of Change Materialweapon]]: This Way more powerful than normal weapons. Some grant [[Status Effects]], other have special effects on hitting a foe. It is sometimes wiser to wish for a great way broken weapon instead of an intact one, since the game often generates better [[materials]] for broken items to compensate the need of improving your gear and limbsrepairing. Which ** Note that since [[materialsRelease 0.50.9]], [[artifact]] you s are no longer wishable. You can still wish for depends on your a number of magical weapons, though.** Good candidates for wishing are: [[Axe of Sharpness]], [[Banshee sickle]], [[Chilling axe]], [[intelligenceFlaming sword]]; thus you may wish to , [[polymorphRune sword]] to a more intelligent , [[Monsters|monsterScythe of terror]] before using this. Good materials include eg. , [[Phoenix FeatherTaiaha]], [[MithrilThunder hammer]] and , [[OctironWhip of thievery]].
* [[Scrolls|Scroll of TamingBeast claw]]: There is nothing like a good A rare weapon using [[Pets|petUnarmed Combat]] but do not try skill, you might want to wish for it if you plan to use this on a quest monsterunarmed for the whole game.
* A good [[Wands|Wand of Cloninghelmet]]: These by themselves are not usefulHelmet of brilliance, 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 helmet of five items. Note that certain items like wands of cloningpiercing perception, scrolls of wishing or scrolls helmet 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, telepathy are probably the clone will be born without any equipment and only four items under it will be copiedbest picks.
* [[Wands|Wand of ResurrectionAcid Shield]]: 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.
* [[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 mages [[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: Randomly prompts you to pick a [[material]] to detect. Very handy. * Ring of Unchanging: If you acquired a powerful polymorph form (eg. from prayer to [[Scabies]]), this ring allows you to retain it indefinitely.
* [[Amulets|Amulet of Life Saving]]: Basically gives you a second life. That's a *lot*.
* [[Amulets|Amulet of Elemental Protection]]: Grants resistance to all [[damage|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]]: Immunity to gases *and* swimming! * [[Amulets|Amulet of Phasing]]: Walk through walls freely! Note however that this amulet is temporary and will eventually disappear. Thus it should only be wished if you really need to be able to outrun and outmaneuver any monster for a while. * [[Amulets|Amulet of Disease Immunity]]: [[Leprosy]] shall scare you no more! * [[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]]: Obliterates almost any foe in a single *KABOOM*. === 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. * [[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 [[Container|strongbox]], because if it explodes in your inventory, you're in BIG trouble. 
* [[Musical Instrument|Magical Whistle]]: Handling more than two pets is almost impossible without this.
* [[:Category:ArtifactsMusical Instrument|Artefact weaponLyre of Charm]] or : * A magical [[thunder hammerhorn]]: Way more powerful than normal weapons. Some also grants various [[Character|magical effects]]. It is sometimes wiser to wish for a broken weapon instead Either horn of an intact onehealing, 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 or horn of theseplenty. Those wishable include:**[[Mjolak]]**[[Turox]]**[[Saal'Thul]]**[[Vermis]]
* [[Holy Banana of Oily OrpivSol Stone]]: 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.
* [[Body armor|Armor Large and Mysterious Saga of Great Healththe Pantheon]]: 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 Celestial Monograph of LevitationSolicitus]]: 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.
