So I just cleared the castle with my Valkyrie and got the wand of wishing. However, I'm having trouble deciding what to wish for (aside from a magic marker). Currently I have an amulet of reflection and no source of magic resistance, so I was considering getting a GDSM; however, this would make me lose MC3 from my elven mithril-coat. The other options I've considered are:

  • SDSM and cloak of magic resistance, replace "oR with "oLS (upside: have MC3 and life saving, downside: uses up two wishes)
  • only cloak of magic resistance (upside: have MC3, use only 1 wish, downside: worse AC)
  • GDSM and cloak of protection (upside: have MC3, better AC, downside: uses up two wishes)

Any advice on which would be the best option (or whether there are any that I've overlooked)? Am I overestimating the importance of MC3? I guess I shouldn't be so concerned with conserving wishes when I'll probably cark it before I have a chance to wish for anything else, but still. Erinne (talk) 15:16, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
