−	I just found a wand of wishing on level 2 as an Elven Ranger.

	:One thing I don't see in your list is a source of [[poison resistance]]. Sure, that may seem like a silly thing to waste a wish on, given that it's pretty easy to acquire once you have a [[unihorn]], but remember that you're on DL 1 and have a crapload of wishes. Having kitted yourself out to take care of most other sources of [[instadeath]], it would be pretty damn annoying for your game to end in ''"The poison was deadly..."'' In your situation, a [[tin]] or two of [[green dragon]] meat might not be such a bad choice for a wish.

	:Another thing you should probably wish for is a [[ring of slow digestion]]: You'd be surprised how little food the dungeon can sometimes throw at you in the early levels, and it's nice to be able to reserve your prayers exclusively for times when you're actually in danger, as opposed to just needing food. Just mind your satiation level and make sure you take the ring off once you hit Satiated, so as to not abuse Dexterity and risk choking.		:Another thing you should probably wish for is a [[ring of slow digestion]]: You'd be surprised how little food the dungeon can sometimes throw at you in the early levels, and it's nice to be able to reserve your prayers exclusively for times when you're actually in danger, as opposed to just needing food.

	:Lastly, you don't have 11 wishes, you have 13. After you exhaust those two wands, you can [[wrest]] the last charge from them. This is best done by putting yourself in a safe place (a burned Elbereth square works well), setting the drained wand to 'z', and holding that key down. The chance is 1/121 per turn so you'll generally get it in under 200 or so. So definitely add slow digestion to the wish list, and maybe also a [[ring of free action]] or a [[ring of conflict]]. -[[User:Ion frigate\|Ion frigate]] ([[User talk:Ion frigate\|talk]]) 15:26, 30 August 2012 (UTC)		:Lastly, you don't have 11 wishes, you have 13.
