| − | == Early Game ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Engrave-test and use [[wand]]s ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A wand can be useful as soon as you find it, even without checking for cursedness.
| |
| − | | |
| − | First, engrave [[Elbereth]] on the ground with your fingertip. Then engrave with the wand, choosing "add to engraving" rather than "erase and engrave from scratch". This will formally identify some wands and informally identify many more wands. See [[Wand#Engrave-identification]] for complete information.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After you engrave-test a wand, type-name it something appropriate.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Use your wands early and often. A wand has a certain fixed power; both you and the monsters get stronger as time goes on, so wands get less useful over time. In a normal game most players find dozens more wands than they will ever use. Just be careful not to hurt yourself with ray rebounds.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are fortunate enough to engrave with a [[wand of wishing]], then wish for [[scroll of charging|3 blessed scrolls of charging]] so that you can recharge the wand. After that, take care of the essential trinity: poison resistance, magic resistance, and reflection. After that, wish for anything you want. A game with an early wand of wishing is nearly always ascendable.

| − | === Buy [[protection]] ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Use a [[bag]] ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Start using a [[bag]] as soon as you can. A bag protects items from damage and theft.
| |
| − | | |
| − | First use your [[pet]] or an altar to curse-test the bag. If the bag is cursed, then you have to price-id it. A bag that sells for $1 is a [[sack]] and you can safely use it even if it is cursed. A unidentified bag that sells for more than $1 is not safe to use if it is cursed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you find a noncursed bag, put it on the ground and loot it. If the bag is a [[bag of tricks]], it will bite you for 1d10 damage. You cannot use a [[bag of tricks]] to keep your items in, although you can use it for other things later.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Set up a [[stash]] ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Set up a [[stash]] as soon as you find a [[large box]] or a [[chest]] that you can open. Bring your unidentified items to your stash. You can protect your stash by rolling a [[boulder]] on it when you are not using it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can have more than one stash. Later on, after you have a noncursed [[bag of holding]], you can consolidate stashes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Dig behind [[iron bars]] ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you see iron bars, and you have a digging tool, then dig around the bars. You will find a scroll behind the bars. There may be other items along with the scroll. The scroll (or one of the scrolls) is a [[scroll of teleportation]], a very handy [[escape item]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Pray strategically ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Your [[prayer timeout]] is usually about 800 to 1000 turns. (As with many NetHack features, the exact formula is complicated.) Whenever you pray, use the [[name]] command to name one of your individual objects, such as a key, with the turn number that you prayed on. I use the notation [pray:1234] to mark the turn number. Later on, when you get in a jam, you can check the turn counter to decided whether to pray or whether to try another tactic.
