    Ridiculously good shopping trips

    You bought a Draught of the Ents for 6000 gold
    You have a Draught of the Ents (e).
    You bought a Potion of Healing for 2400 gold.
    You have 4 potions of Healing (g).
    You bought a Nickel Rod for 15000 gold.
    You have a Rod of Teleport Other (p).


    For the record - a Draught of the Ents is criminally underpriced.
    But please don't fix that

    What does draught of the ents do? I thought it just restored some Constitution and strength but didn't even provide nourishment. I usually just leave them on the dungeon floor... I'm worried I might have been a fool now

      I didnt test if it nourishes...I just assumed it would. Otherwise nothing special, just permanently raises str + con by 1.

        It feeds you up to 60% full, and raises your STR and CON (restoring them first if they needed it).

          That's all? It does not increase you height?

            It does make you a bit more stocky, and your pants fit tighter.

                Draught of the Ents should be about 50,000 gold in the black market.

                    I've been lobbying awhile now for this effect.

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.”

                      If it did increase your height, should drinking enough eventually turn a Hobbit into a Human???

                        which gets me thinking: what would be really cool is a super rare item that would boost your max con cap and max strength cap.

                          You mean the internal cap? Otherwise it makes no difference since neither of them has any effect above 18/200 as I know (HP and blows max there).

                            I guess what I mean is the starting race base of the stat. So for example, Half Trolls are hard to max out their dexterity because they have a -4 Race penalty. Consuming the super rare thing I'm suggesting would increase this base to -3 (and maybe cap out at 0).

                              The armoury just had a Pair of Iron Shod Boots of Elvenkind [4,+4] <+1, +9>

                              +1 stealth, +9 speed

                              Wow. Fortunately I have plenty of gold to buy them.
