Forum:Making a pet unicorn stronger
Revision as of 21:28, 22 April 2011 by Ion frigate (talk | contribs)
I have a pet unicorn (on my own machine) and it seems to be capped out at level 6 and 48 hp. Considering that it is a herbavore and avoids wraith corpses, is there any way I can get this beast a bit stronger? I want to ride it through the endgame if I can (I will genocide black dragons just to avoid my saddle being destroyed), but 48 hp seems far too weak for that.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated! --Aarnott 17:35, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- None, so far as I know. As you said, it won't eat wraith corpses; neither will it drink potions of gain level, or swallow wraiths whole, or any of the other means of gaining levels. If you're playing SLASH'EM, you could zap it with a wand of (extra) healing. That will give it one extra max hp per zap, so with blessed charging can add probably 40+ hp before the wand explodes.
- Otherwise, check out the riding page for other good monsters to ride in the end game. Ki-rin are the best, but they require either a wish, being lawful, or the ability to brave extreme danger to tame. Plus, if you're not a knight, you'll have to tame it again after mounting it five times. A good all-around mount is a mountain centaur: they're almost as fast as unicorns, but can eat anything, will wear a shield and/or amulet (which will protect against black dragons), and are not particularly hard to find and/or tame. -Ion frigate 21:28, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
