I know I already suggested this ( ;D ), but you could actually take the entire FAQ and use it to update the wiki, as well, since the wiki's adventure mode section is incomplete and unhelpful.

Should add Sturgeon to the list. They're like evil piranhas of death in adventure mode.

I updated the wiki with the new info, though It could use some editing by someone who really knows how to do wiki formating. I mixed my FAQ in with the existing info and tried to update or delete old things

Yeah, although they don't seem to be as prolific as carp.

It's funny, because real life sturgeons are, what, 15 FEET LONG.

Those things are like armored freshwater death sharks.

They're probably smaller in DF, though.

Eh, they can't be that bad and OH MY GOD THEY'RE HUGE.

That was nearly as bad as the time my dwarf got attacked by a lamprey and I googled to see what they looked like.  They are horrifyingly weird creatures.

yeah but sturgeons aren't actually dangerous, unless you hit them with a boat. Also, What about Olmmen?

Now that would be pretty awesome.  Carp aren't very dangerous at all - in fact there was a recent case in Britain of a huge carp who died.

He had been caught (and released) over 70 times.

I like olms. They're cute, if you can get past the whole eyeless thing.

Where I'm from they call lampreys something the equivalent of "sea vampires". Those things are horrifying.

Wait, are lampreys dangerous in Adventurer mode?

Not amazingly, but the image of a dwarf losing an eye to one...

On the fish discussion- Capr are actually bastards in rea life as well, at least in Australia. The European Carp survives so well in Aussie rivers, it's beating justabout everything else. The waterways used to be clear, but because carp are bottom-feeders, they're all brown now.

Argh, tough bastards they are. They're like the rats, only they can swim.

Rather dangerous, primarily in that they're aggressive so you'll be fighting something else and sea lamprey charges you.

Hey piecewise, I always have trouble getting other people to join my party unless I grind for xp in something. What's the best way to get more xp? Any tips on grinding?
