Great for training and for dying. The things have a nasty tendency of polymorphing into invisible, levitating octiron golems.

I believe one of them will cure leprosy.

REMINDER TO SELF: Code in bows (increase thrown arrow damage) and ethereality item.

I never have time to drink the potions. They take so much time to chug down that by the time I've finished drinking enough to heal me, I'm dead.

You can't. Also the only exception to the "one item per wish" rule are boots and gauntlets. If you wish for a "boot of strength" you'll get two.

Nice one Erno.

No, that means it won't do it. Period. It's like trying to wish for Justifier or Neerc se'Ulb, or some such. Though does it do that for any materials?

This is true. However the ability to utterly rape gangs of enemies would probably be invaluable on the Big Room level, and probably would help with clearing out all the smaller frogs if/when you get to Elpuri. Just make sure to wield something else in the minefield.

To be honest I haven't gotten to use Turox that much -- I usually find it broken and die before fixing it, or die shortly after I start using the thing. The one time I DID use it I had it paired with Neerc se'Ulb, and I ended up dropping it for a second Neerc because that mace is badass.

Adamant does more damage mainly due to it's hugely high density. I haven't run any tests but I imagine the difference is far less exaggerated on smaller weapons, like daggers and short swords.

Octiron is pretty boss too though.
