I found a wand of polymorph in the attnam shop. One of my favorite items to get early. Anyone else have a favorite?

and that thread is from 2008 - so maybe having people reiterate their positions may be good for the forum. Just saying.

Date is pretty irrelevant in a forum so inactive. One of the biggest threads on the forum is from 2007 and I do not see anyone complaining about that one.

Heck man I've even lost track of threads from only a couple of months ago.
My favourite early game find has got to be a wand of teleportation.

Bone files.
Especially UT2 bone file with an unused lamp and Varmis. My most stupid death ever, but paid of for the lucky finder.

wand cloning or mirroring
a wish
mellis and segis (school food/removes foul liquid from your veins)
ring of polycontrol = drinking from fountains = rings stats boosts and wishes

OK, I reconsidered and decided that wand of polymorph is the single most bestest item you can ever find early.
Today, I found it on UT1 and decided to polypile some random trash. On the first try, I got huge amount of food and some holy books, but most importantly bronze pickaxe, so I could dig down walls of the room and polypile the sticks. The wand turned out to have five charges, and the third one got me an oil lamp with a wish, so I wished for an amulet of elemental protection.
In the end, I got one wish, a pickaxe, a runed ommel hair whip, a broken iron thunder hammer, a cloak of invisibility, a single gauntlet of strength +1, two carrots, some food and healing liquid, some scrolls and wands, including wand of teleportation for Jenny, plus holy book of Loricatus so I could easily fix the hammer. Polypiling is awsome.
Also, even with that amount of luck, I still haven't died of RNG backlash. I'm expecting it every second now.

I agree about the wand of poly being a great early game find. I actually think early game wishes are sort of a waste, because i always hold onto them until i clear down to GC4 to see what I need.

I like polypiling too, especially for the carrots. Seems like carrots are generated pretty commonly, they just get eaten up so quickly by the other monsters. Usually after polypiling I end up with ~40 perception, which is awesome
