Fast as "not eating"?

Monk FAQ says: "Some players even choose to fast. This challenge is beyond the author's present knowledge. Note that in 3.4.1, Monks exercise wisdom by fasting."

What does it mean? Is it foodless or something else?

It means remaining hungry or weak from hunger, in the in-game status message sense of hungry. -Tjr 11:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Monster with speed of 24 who can pick up iron ball?

According to Monsters (by speed), the fastest monster with arms (who could pick up an iron ball) is the Mountain Centaur, with base speed 20. I haven't done the math, but is this still faster than being an air elemental? --OssianGrr (talk) 16:57, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
