'''Fixed''' is a keyword that you may use when [[wish|wishing]] for an item, such as in the case of '+2 blessed fixed [[gauntlets of power]]'.

'''Fixed''' is a term used as a synonym for any form of [[erosion]]-proofing in ''[[NetHack]]''. It is generally used when [[wishing]] for erodeproofed items - the game uses only one bit for "erodeproof" or "fixed" status, they are all internally equivalent. Another equivalent term is "[[foo]]proof", which the game's parser will not recognize.

'Fixed' is a general term used to indicate an item that has been rustproofed, fireproofed, corrodeproofed, or rotproofed, depending upon which is applicable to the item, to prevent [[erosion]]. When used in a [[wish]], the game will substitute in its place the term that fits the item, thus relieving the casual player from trying to remember which material the item is made of. 'Fooproof' is a similar term that also means protection from all the kinds of erosion, but the game does not recognize it.

Internally, the game uses the same bit for each type of erosion proofing and fixedness, which is why the wishing code is so lax in accepting synonyms.

Fixed is a term used as a synonym for any form of erosion-proofing in NetHack. It is generally used when wishing for erodeproofed items - the game uses only one bit for "erodeproof" or "fixed" status, they are all internally equivalent. Another equivalent term is "fooproof", which the game's parser will not recognize.

The term "fixed" is also used to refer to crysknives - a fixed crysknife will revert to a worm tooth when dropped only 10% of the time.
