Talk:Bell of Opening

Using it to generate infinite nymphs

It seems you could generate as many nymphs as you liked with the cursed, uncharged Bell of Opening. Do nymphs get death drops? If so, this would seem to be very, very useful. Even if they don't, you could still get as many potions and mirrors as you wanted, useful for diluting or polypiling. Anybody know why this isn't mentioned, given that it seems to be at least as powerful as pudding farming? Granted, you have to complete the Quest first, but most pudding farmers would be experienced enough to do that anyway. -Ion frigate 03:10, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

From the Bell article: A cursed bell, however, has a 1/4 chance of summoning a nymph (she won't be carrying any items), unless any of the nymphs are genocided or extinct. - so I guess this won't work. 62.80.22.186 10:19, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Nymphs should still get death drops, but yeah they'll never carry any items when summoned. It's no where near as powerful as pudding farming due to the 25% chance of summoning a nymph, compared to 100% chance of a non-fatal iron blow splitting a pudding. As a minor addition, a ring of free action does NOT prevent the 33% chance of 2 turns paralysis. -- Qazmlpok 12:39, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
