Cruentus just granted me "The ancient Katana named Muramasa", which probably is an LIVAN exclusive item since I can't find anything about it on the wiki.

Every now and then I get the message "Your Murmasa's life-draining energies swallow x".
Is this a live draining effect, a instadeath-procc or something completely different?
Can't say if it is one of the first two since I've been fighting some weak enemys lately.

And is there anything interesting within the cathedral catacombs?
Or ist it just vodka and enemies to train stats/skill up?
And I've found a empty grave at the end of it.
Is there maybe a random chance for something to be generated in it?

Press shift+o and select the item you want to offer.

Any advice on pets?
Which one to get and how to handle it.

Thank you for your answers.
Another unlucky game but I made it further than before.

After exploring a good share of GC1 i found a fountain and decided to drink it dry, since I was being lucky with wells this game, which unfortunately resulted in me getting sucked down to GC7, where I tried to fight my way back to the top.
At GC6 I finally discovered what kamikaze dwarfs look like.
Unfortunately this one was standing right next to me.
I got severely injured by the initial blast, but would have probably survived due to my two fire resistance rings, but unfotunately a lightning wand exploded (normally I would have had it in a chest, but mine still was at GC1).

Don't drink from fountains, if you're not ready to face the consequences.
That's what I've learned this game.

So I've been playing Nethack and Elona before, but I never finished them and lost interest.
But a week or so this game got recommended to me at the Dwarf Fortress forum and it's been great fun that far.

Well but I have some questions, so that I can finally advance beyond GC 1.
I'm using the LIVAN version by the way.

About danger level:
So basically I should stay with the crappiest equipment I can find (like AV 1-2) and keep some good and heavily enchanted equipment for boss fights, do I understand it right?

What about weapons?
Do the different types have different danger levels?
Like a two handed sword and an axe.

Is it worth geting proficient in a wider range of weapons or should I stick with one?

What about statboosting consumables.
Using them right away will raise my danger level, so is it worth it?
Or should I stash them away until I have some equipment?

About Searching:
Do you have a 100% chance when searching, or is it RNG dependent if you find anything?
Because I've got blown up by mines several times now and I can't seem to find any levitation items.
Fire resistance too would be an option, but I'm not sure how much I would need to survive a blast.

In Nethack first priority was getting you Ascension Kit together (basically a bunch of item essential for beating the game, if you are unfamiliar with Nethack).
Is there something like this in IVAN/LIVAN or can you beat the game with any combination

I would appreciate any further advice and general tipps you could offer (but I strictly refuse doing anything heavily OOC like removing all my equipment before entering a new dungeon level.)
If some other questions occur to me, I'll write them down here too.
