The RNG handed me one of the unfortunate games of nethack where there aren't enough candles in Izchak's store. Up till now I've kept Wishless and Polyless conduct so I'd prefer to not wish or poly for the needed candles. I have 4 candles, and going through every level didn't seem to give me any others. The only other decent source of candles I can think of is from a pudding farm. I've already set up a farm, but several hundred puddings later I haven't gotten any more candles. Are there any other good options for getting the candles while keeping conduct, or are my options limited to "Farm puddings" and "break wishless"? -- [[User:Qazmlpok|Qazmlpok]] 04:07, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

 :::Also, why would throne farming be faster? I can see the appeal when you're after potions and scrolls, as those would be generated with the monster, but I can only get candles from death drops. If I'm only after death drops, why would confusing myself and potentially creating dragons be faster than creating 1 HP puddings? -- [[User:Qazmlpok|Qazmlpok]] 15:01, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
