It does feel wrong though. It feels that Wyrms should have a bit better drops, but for game balance point of view just ordinary item drop works fine.
Internal debate goes a bit like this:
- I want more!!!
- You have speed +32, weapon that makes 600+ damage, AC 200+, HP 1000+ and all the consumables and resistances you wanted. You don't need more.
- I WANT MORE!!! "Need" is not an issue here.Comment

No idea if it has been reported before, but in the latest comp I've found arrows of acid that I wanted to keep for Sauron, so I inscribed them @f9 so they end up in slot j. The quiver is made of slots a-g and j. When I generate a chardump, slot j is not mentioned.PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment

“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

I think I found a bug in the blows calculation. I had 3.8 blows and I watched my combat carefully for quite a while and never saw four blows even though it seems like I should have gotten four blows 80% of the time. Unless partial blows does not work like I think it does.
Also if you try to sell stuff to the magic shop to recharge it seems it only accepts certain staves and no wands, our at least not any of the ones I had. This may be working as designed but it also gives the message about viewing equipment or quiver which is probably not right and if you hit / for equipment it shows a blank screen.My first winner: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=10138Comment

It doesn't work the way you think it does. It costs you 1/3.8 turns worth of time to make a single melee attack, and when you attack you attack as many times as possible without using more than a full turn's worth of time. You will never see 4 blows in a single attack because that would use more time than is allowed; however, each time you attack (and get 3 blows) you use somewhat less than a full turn's worth of time. It's like having a speed advantage over your opponent.Comment

There is a bit of a reason, because magic attacks can hit more than one monster, and it's also harder to distinguish whether it's the player that did it. For example if the player casts Stinking Cloud on a pack of hounds, and then they all breathe, there's magic effects being flung about everywhere, and picking out the player ones might not make a lot of sense - and also be difficult to code. I'll have a bit more of a look and a think.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In 3.5.1, and earlier versions, experience drain from The One Ring could be recovered with Restore Life Levels the same as any other experience drains. Once restored, the level indicator and experience indicators were both green until The One did another drain. Has this been changed in 4.0?“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school.

OK, you're right - but there is another possibility. Did you ever activate the One? Because one of the effects is to permanently lose 1/4 of your current experience and one point off each of your stats.
On closer inspection, I think that is what happened - your STR, DEX and CON are all 18/90.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Update 4be6192 fixes:- Bad quiver and home listings in character dumps
- Use numbers for quiver labels
- Have the item menu in the home include the drop option - it was meant to work for shops too, will have to go back and fix that
- Maybe fix the bonus update problem
- Make random effects do the correct damage (this was making things like Multi-hued DSM breaths really weak)
- Stop OSX port crashing on resizing the main window to too small a value (thanks myshkin)
- Make the OSX port remember window sizes (myshkin again)
- Add boost percentage to descriptions of attack devices
My feeling is that there are no real showstoppers left. I need to do a trap knowledge screen, update documentation and have a look at bad tile redrawing, and will look at the few remaining bugs, but I'm hoping to release in about a week.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
