BUC


Does wetting makes an **uncursed** blank scroll regardless previous BUC?

No it doesn't; it will make a scroll of whatever the BUC status of the unwetted scroll was. Diluting potions, however, will always produce uncursed potions of water (except for dipping in fountains, which always has a 1/30 chance of cursing the item outright, but that's a corner case) -71.163.250.187 23:59, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

On fountains and cursing

Unless I'm very much mistaken, dipping into fountains can only curse the dipped item; quaffing puts your entire inventory at risk, however. Which is why I've never understood why people refer to "fountain quaffing" as opposed to "fountain dipping"; both have the same chance of a wish, but the former can curse a lot more of your inventory.

I agree about the point with them drying up, but it is often more convenient not to have to drop a lot of your inventory; what I'll often do is create pools from one fountain, and return to it if necessary, but otherwise just dip directly in them. -Ion frigate 02:16, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
