    Question about Level Feelings

    I've been searching for the answer to this, but can't find it definitively.

    If I enter a level and I get a good feeling, like "There are good treasures here,"
    will that feeling change once I've acquired all of the aforementioned good treasures? Or is the feeling an attribute that is assigned to the floor as the time it is generated, never to be changed again?

    I've had a couple of early floors now that had "superb treasures" feelings, and I scoured them high and low, not finding anything particularly superb. And yet, the feeling remained, even when I'd stripped the place as best as I could.

    I know that the feelings are relative to dungeon depth and can be misleading... I was just hoping that I could "feel" when I'd picked up / killed all the stuff that triggered the feeling in the first place.

    Thanks!

    No - the feeling is, as you suspected, assigned when the level is generated, and does not change. An early "superb" feeling might be nothing more remarkable than a slightly out-of-depth staff, or something big like a Maul with half-decent plusses.
