How do you wish?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Thinking I would be clever and correctly guess the new liquid with a wish command, I typed in "oil" and now I have an "Oil" mutation that I don't think does anything 

Oil is not the new liquid. I know this because I wished for a "Demon" and got....you should really just see for yourself. It might be a spoiler, I genuinely have no idea. The point is that I still have the older version, and this wish summoned somthing that had a flamethrower on it, with Oil in that flamethrower. He also drops an interesting item that can't be taken off.

How do you wish?

What man could not know how to [Ctrl+W]ish?

EDIT: Oh yeah, try wishing for "Salt Kraken". That's Fun.

[Aklyon]

The man who didn't read the entire command list.

[Darvi]

Eh, krakens are neutral.

[Darvi]

Ok, done with making the page. I guess pages for the individual Skill trees would be appropriate?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Eh, krakens are neutral.

That doesn't mean you can't attack them anyway. They do about 200 damage a turn, have high armor, and even higher HP. The corpse weighs 40,000 pounds and has a unique discription. I love the Hand-E-Nuke.

EDIT: I think all my screwing around is starting to break the game. I'm a True Human who has somehow gotten an unusable "Immunity" mutation, Adrenal Control, and an Evil Twin (whom I just killed).

EDIT2: And now I somehow have Level 11 Analytical Genius for no apparent reason.

[Mephisto]

For those of you who don't watch the How did you last die? thread. Hand-held nukes. I'll take five.

Spoiler: The Amaranthine Prism (click to show/hide)

When I first found it:
Amaranthine Prism
A starless, triangular prism of amaranth.
-1 Willpower
+1 Ego
"Huh, another floating nearby object. I think I'll try this on."

Later:
"Alright, I need to use my floating glowsphere now."
You cannot remove the Amaranthine Prism!
"Uhh....that's....not good..."

Now:
Amaranthine Prism
A starless, triangular prism of amaranth.
-14 Willpower
+14 Ego
"O_O  Oh shit."

Glass cannon mutants go!

The item is actually the goal of a quest from the goat in the mushroom village. He doesn't want you to equip it. I didn't think to save before handing it in, to see what happens if you do (but he probably attacks you). As it is, even with 28 ego (+6 modifier to esper powers) my cryo- and pyro-kinesis are so powerful that they frequently destroy items dropped by the enemies they kill. Sad panda face.

Thinking I would be clever and correctly guess the new liquid with a wish command, I typed in "oil" and now I have an "Oil" mutation that I don't think does anything 

The new liquid must be something else, since oil was already in. It is used as fuel for flamethrowers, though flamethrowers and oil both are so rare that I have only seen maybe 50 drams total across ~50 levels (not all of them the same character, the farthest I've gotten so far is level 28 and a new quest to destroy some plantation). Maybe they become more common as you move east. Now that I think of it, maybe you'll get a lot so you can burn down the plantation?

Added the start of the Argyve Questline to the wiki.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Gonna crosspost for sheepbiter here - To be honest, I don't think typing out the dialogue for the entire quest is necessary, for the longer quests this could become very tiresome to read through.

The layout I was thinking of was the quest summary first, which contained the ingame objective list, and a detailed walkthrough, which contained a more in depth run of the quest. Thoughts on this? The Biter of Sheep 16:09, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

I have encountered a Great Magma Crab. Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. Yes, I am still screaming in terror as I type this post.

Also, I found out somthing interesting. Apparently, because Caves of Qud tracks temperature, if you get too absurdly hot (as it, way, way past simply being on fire) you'll be instakilled by being Vaporized.

Acid isn't the new liquid, is it? I doubt it. I just died gloriously by trying to fill a waterskin with delicious acid. But I think I remember it from previous versions when I went underground.

Also, I found out somthing interesting. Apparently, because Caves of Qud tracks temperature, if you get too absurdly hot (as it, way, way past simply being on fire) you'll be instakilled by being Vaporized.

I found this out the hard way when I tried to burn my way to another screen of the underground with super duper flaming hands. Protip: don't touch a billion degrees hot steam.

EDIT: unormal I was trying to load a character file and I got

I am positive it saved just fine and the character was not bugged or anything. I had wished for a couple things if that matters, though.

[unormal]

I'll take a look, but wishing voids your game's warranty. 

[freeformschooler]

Ahaha, okay. The only things I had wished for were a "greatsword" which game me some sort of super sword and then something else that gave me a bat to fight and then kill. Thanks for responding though. I think I might still have the save file if you want it.
