    Angband 4.0 dev 99051b4

    @ has wielded an unidentified Tortoiseshell Amulet, but when attempting to identify it, is informed, "You have nothing to identify." Samuelson.zip

    EDIT: NEVERMIND. It was me being an idiot. In the heat of battle, the item got dropped and I hadn't noticed. So, duh, of course there was nothing to identify.

      Just a dumb question, but I've been wondering. Why is it that in 4.0 the town stairs are always in the exact same spot on the Northern edge of town? In 3.5.1 the town stairs was random in its location.

        The idea is that the town is at the base of Thangorodrim, and the staircase is the gate of Angband - hence also all the lava and rubble and randomly placed shops.

          It's a cult classic.

            Maybe I'm imagining it, but it seems to me that items "ignored" while in town take a long time to be dropped from the pack, whilst items "ignored" in the dungeon drop right away.

              Only on shops. Nick explained it up thread somewhere. It requires a trigger to activate the ignoring process, such as picking up an item, dropping an item or hitting K twice.

                I guess my point was that the triggering process doesn't seem to be happening in the town, but does immediately when in the dungeon. In town, I can ignore an item, pick up another item, and the ignored item is still in the pack. In the dungeon, when I ignore an item, it is dropped right away.

                  If this behaviour is happening in your home, then that is expected. If it's happening in the town outside your home and shops, that's not expected.
