<Though, you'll need a little more than 30 int IIRC... >

correct - I read it wrong, I think i need 40int.

so gloves should stay PF as well? PF def melts in acid, as my PF boots of agility +5 can attest :^(

I saw a broken Mjolak on GC6 I really wanted to fix and enchant, but at this point its too late. it is my favorite weapon though. I love pounding enemies with a heavily enchanted MJolak.

I have 30 int so I think i could harden saal from Mithril to octiron - is it worth it? I know I will lose some of the accostimization bonuses, but will the increase in damage offset it?

Cleared GC 6 and 7, waiting at the down staircase for GC 8. I decided to stick with Sall and the whip, I think going Dual with Sall and Vermis would make it non-stop dwarves and I dont need that right now. I seem to have near permanant tele control from blink dog corpses so its ok no for now.

some new questions:

1 - I have found no ?ochange material in this game and no wishes. Ive hardend my gloves/belt/cloak/boots to phoenix feather. My Int is now 30, can I harden them to Dragon hide, and is it worth the danger level trade off?

2- is there anyway to change the material other than a scroll? if my int is high enough will it harden the material past dragon hide? the wiki seems to say no.

3- I have 2 wands of cloning, a 1 shot and a 3 shot, and 1 scroll of charging. Can I Apply the 1 shot wand to get one last use out of like a wand of mirroring?

4- I seem to remember Elpuri having a special attack that damages wands, is this correct? I dont see anything on the wiki

5 - is there any guaranteed way to generate a momo slime? the last (and only time) I beat elpuri, a momo slime was generated and Elpuri got stuck in the goo and was helpless as I pounded him (her?) with wands. It made it rather simple.

6 - I live in NJ by the areas that were devestated by the flooding - try to keep us in your thoughts because there are a lot of people here without homes and winter is coming. If I ever get a moment I will post some photos, its like they were taken on the moon.

I hate getting excited about a character, becuase you know whats about to happen!

Seriously though, I fired up IVAN for the first time in an age the other day. without looking i created a new guy and named him Roland, and it brought me to GC 4! i must have had an old guy there i forgot about. I thought about it for a second and remembered I was trying to clear out Attnam using a ressurected hostile enner while poly'd into a ghost (I know it will work!)

Realizing quickly that I dont have the time to concentrate on such an obscure task (twins, with a 3rd on the way!!) I decided to go for a regular elpuri win (again
). Maxed out my equipment, wand o poly'd up some better stuff and set about defeating enner. cleared out CG5 and here is my question: i found Vermis (and a wand of cloning whoo hoo!) in a chest on GC 5 - i am currently wielding Sall'thuul and a whip of thievery. Would dual wielding Saal and Vermis push me over the top in terms of danger level? should i switch to Vermis and the whip? wearing octiron chainmail, helm o brilliance +5, an amulet of ESP, and phoinex feather boots of agitily +5.

Im not sure if its in the variants, but would anyone like to see random item drops in the game? Meaning the randomly generated monsters have a chance of having a wand or scroll or potion in their inventory? It is annoying that there are in effect a finite number of scrolls and wands in the game, it would be helpful if occasionally a slain kobold dropped a random scroll. Not that IVAN is designed to be helpful.

I would also like to see monsters of a certain level be able to use wands, it would make for a whole lot of new painful ways to die, and make equipment mangagment much more interesting.

In WM I ressurected enner, kicked him to make him hostil then polyd into achost to avoid damage. he took out most of the town. I was then able to finish off Petrus and win

is enner resurrectable in non-WM?

I think I am going to try an idea I have. Im wondering if I can conquer attnam with a resurrected enner while poly'd into a ghost. with the bones files i found I think I have enough stuff to pull it off. Ive done it in wizmode, but never had a charecter loaded with enough sway to pull it off, I think I am good with this one.

has this been done?

I rolled up another guy and Think I have a winner going. I have beaten it once (regular ending) and want to try one of the harder endings. Are they possible with natural limbs? My problem is that I dont have a lot of time to play to train stats so I think i would have to use material limbs. any suggestions for int trainint with sci talking that can be done quickly? Dulcis is in love with me, so I have been taiming every humanoid and talking with them, but kobolds and goblins dont sci talk.

I had just lost interest in the game. its been so long since there was a new version or news or discoveries, I forgot about it. I played it on a whim for the first time in like a year the other day and was reminded of how much fun it is. I would love to see an update to the main branch of the game with some extra stuff in it.

a character for the first time in a year (dead of course) killed by Genny in the UT. I had found turox some nice equip and a Cloak of Fire Res, but no healing, so I i decided to try to bulldoze my way in and died. had my Arm ripped off, replaced with steel!! but i got overwhelmed and dead. Left a nice bones though!

my faith in IVAN is renewed! I am goint to try to get someone to enner by 4/1
