I just had something strange happen in my game.  I drank a potion of object detection (I didn't BUC test it, so I don't know if it was cursed or not).  The potion showed a bunch of gems and coins inside the walls, plus a few items in rooms I already explored.  When I went back to those rooms the items disappeared, and when I dug out to the gems and gold they also disappeared.  There were no other monsters on the level, so I'm not entirely sure where these items went, unless a cursed potion creates "ghost" images of items that aren't really there.  --[[User:MadDawg2552|MadDawg2552]] 20:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

* Just to clarify: did you dig a pit in the locations where the items were located? This is a common problem with detection, specifically with gold and gems in rock. Additionally, remember that monster inventories show up too, so a wandering monster with a helmet will appear as a helmet in a room, and then the helmet will disappear when you sight the room. -- [[User:Kalon|Kalon]] 22:19, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Blessed Effect?

The blessed effect is stated as "You know the appearance of all objects on that level (and in your inventory) as if you had seen them." Can someone please explain the meaning of this? Is it just that the farlook command ([;]) reports it as seen, or am I missing something? -- Kalon 07:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Cursed Effect?

I just had something strange happen in my game. I drank a potion of object detection (I didn't BUC test it, so I don't know if it was cursed or not). The potion showed a bunch of gems and coins inside the walls, plus a few items in rooms I already explored. When I went back to those rooms the items disappeared, and when I dug out to the gems and gold they also disappeared. There were no other monsters on the level, so I'm not entirely sure where these items went, unless a cursed potion creates "ghost" images of items that aren't really there. --MadDawg2552 20:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
