If you mod the game so you can eat bone, doing so will make you feel like a hippy...

Now using that and eating ommel bone...

System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.
Ivan find mounting on ass funny.

..would basically be like giving yourself a second means of across-the-board stat-gains (the first being the holy banana), as this is exactly how it works when you are polymorphed into a dog.

Wait, so if you throw a dog at your puppy, his stats will be boosted?

A regular bone? No. Items made out of ommel bone or ommel tooth, on the other hand..

I recall someone tried once to see if feeding ommel bone chests to wolves would make them better pets; I think their verdict was that it wasn't, but I can't recall details.

You are referring to this thread. The verdict was otherwise, and that someone mentioned in post 3 would be me. Also, throwing something of ommel bone/tooth at anything is not recommended unless it's a weapon and you are positive it'll kill it. If you want to feed it to a pet, let it eat it off the ground unless you want to sever ties with it, if you want to tame a canine a plain old bone is recommended.

Does anyone know how much faster it is to run while levitating than it is to run normally (and how much faster running is versus walking)? The game says "very fast" when you run while levitating but that isn't really very informative and I've wondered sometimes what that actually meant. I think maybe running is twice as fast as walking but I don't recall where I got that impression and can't speak to its veracity in any case so I thought I might as well ask about that too.

Hmmm... what would you use as a benchmark? How long it takes for a certain monster to move?

Tried it, but I didn't find any visibe difference in the time taken to run 10 squares on the world map with or without levitation. Both ways the time was 30 minutes with 10 agility.
With 10 agility you can run a maximum of 34 squares in a dungeon in 5 minutes both with or without levitation. With 20 agility the amount is 37 squares in 5 minutes, no difference with or without levitation.

I'd say levitation does not affect the speed at which you run.

Hm, strange that the 'very fast' has no apparent speed effect. Now I wonder what it was meant for.

The way I see it, "flying" implies that you are airborne and moving fast, and "floating" or "drifting" implies you are moving slowly or remaining stationary whilst airborne ("X the human is floating here). So "walking" as such whilst flying would be "flying". Hence, "flying very fast" implies that you are "running" while airborne.

System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.

Ok, so I noticed that wishing for containers (preferably large chests) can get the player random stuff, but I was unable to tell if char int or wis or parameters like time or dungeon depth have any impact of quality of items generated inside of the chest. I am missing something or there is no way to incrase chance of getting niffy stuff that way?

I believe its more like the chests you get from Atavus, where you get random stuff, indepenndent from your stats.

I might be wrong, but it seems like Legifer may polymorph nearby pets if you sacrifice him.
Or my pet-goblin ate a magic mushroom, while I wasn't watching.

Here's one: just how much stuff can the different size chests (and the 1 lockbox size) contain?

I'm not sure wether the limit is by items or weight, nor what the exact limits are. Went to make a page about chests on the wiki and realized "oops, I need to know this".

It is limited by weight of the items contained. I have also checked that material of the container have no impact on how much stuff it can hold.

Small strong box - 4000g
Small chest - 8000g
Chest - 80000g
Large chest - 800000g
