I cast socm on a large chest for the ommel cerumen. *holds out hands for slapping*.

In my defense though, I didn't know it was considered cheating until capristo told me yesterday in a previous post. That being said, I'm going to keep using this game. I feel since it was unintentional it only leaves a minor footnote on my chars history. I try to never cheat in a game until I get through it at least once properly, or am bored with it and sure I'll never play again, but I'll make exceptions if it was accidental or through ignorance.

Excellent tips too, just what I was looking for. Thanks everyone.

I've finally gotten some items that I never seem to get all in one game. I'm on GC4 and I have the following:

3x wand of poly
1x wand of mirror
1x wand of cloning
1x or more of everything else I think.

1x scroll of wishing
2x socm
6x soea
5x soew
2x sohm
2x scroll of charging
1x scroll of taming
1x scroll of golem creation
3x repair
a tele and detect material.. and that's all I can remember right now.

arcanite helm +1
arcanite plate +3
amulet of life saving
nymph cloak
levitation belt
iron mace +1 (my ommel tooth mace rotted on me.. heh)
octiron shield +2
lots of rings. Using a searching and fire resistance right now.
gauntlets of str +2
dragon hide boots +1
And an ommel armor I've been holding on to for some reason.

The furthest I've ever gotten is one level past enner beast, and I'm on GC4 now. What should I do to make sure my char has a good shot of going really far this time? I don't know how many charges the wands of cloning/mirror have, but with the 2 charging scrolls, I figure I can create a mountain of scrolls. Should I clone/mirror the scrolls and go buckwild boosting my equipment up? or should I socm body parts? I have over 50 int/wis. I'm thinking of wishing up an amulet of esp, and then creating mass soea/soew/sohm scrolls to try and make every item super powerful. But I'm worried that will backfire and just make super strong monsters start appearing, I've only got 64hp. I've been thinking about this all day, lol, I don't want to mess up. Is there anything essential I should do? Or just shut up, stop thinking, and play the game?

I figured I should post this in this forum since it will contain spoilers. I have a few questions:

1. What does horn of Bravery do?
2. My ommel tooth mace has flies around it. Is it going to decay on me? Is there anything I can do to save it if so?
3. When doing the polypiling trick, do the items you stack have any effect on what items you get? ie., do granite rocks give better results than gniess rocks?
4. I read somewhere something about breaking wands. Is that correct? How do you do it? What does it do?
5. I know you can socm chests into ommel cerumen for huge int/wis boosts, but what do I use for the other ommel stuff? (sweat, tears, snot and urine?) I tried to use a socm scroll on some potions and cans to change into that stuff, but it wouldn't let me.
6. I'm about to enter enner beasts level, normally I tele to him, slow, then zap em with everything I got. But I don't have anything for tele control this time around, any tips on how to survive if I can't tele to him?
