Forum:Magic whistles via polypile
I sometimes play pacifists as I like the challenge and not actively killing anything in terms of role-playing. However, several of them have a hard time finding a whistle before the castle, whereas all of my regular characters typically find 4 or 5 before the castle. I cannot help but be paranoid and think their is RNG programming against my Conduct.
Does a tool have to be magical to get a magic whistle via polypile? I have zapped 100's of items at this point, via a wand, and have yet to receive any. I have yet to encounter many unicorns due to my low level. I always use stacks of six in rows of 7.
The guidebook states: "As magic whistles are fairly common magical tools, it is a good idea to collect them. You can then try to polypile your surplus ones into magic markers."
