Guard Farming

I don't know if anyone has tried this before, but here is a fun way you can farm without any puddings. To do this, enter a vault, wait for a guard to get in, wait until he turns hostile, then kill him. Guards can carry some nice wands and scrolls, but be careful, killing a guard while they are still peaceful carries an alignment penalty which and mess up your record pretty bad.

Wouldn't vault guards go extinct if you stayed there indefinitely? Also what tunnel, if any does the guard generate behind him on appearance?- this is handy information to know if you are going to use your wands--PeterGFin 17:23, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Vault.c, line 226 and Source:Makemon.c#makemon look much like guard creation increments the born counter, but does not respect extinction. -Tjr 17:51, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

The extinctionist spoiler confirms this. -Tjr 17:55, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Merge with Vault?

Currently this page has rather a lot of overlap with vault. Given that guards never appear outside of vaults, perhaps this page would be better as a section of that page, with redundant information eliminated? -Ion frigate 09:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
