ZAPM items

From NetHackWiki
(Redirected from ZAPM Item Prices)
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This page gives a list of items found in ZAPM and some minimal information about them, including base prices.

In ZAPM, price offered is not influenced by charisma—you can't charm a robot, after all. Selling prices are always 110 of base prices, and buying prices are always base prices.

Unlike NetHack, any type of shop will buy any item. So you can price-ID your canisters in a computer shop, for instance.

The ZAPM items do not necessarily behave exactly like the "NetHack analogs" given below.

Floppy disks

Floppy disks appear as ? and are roughly analogous to NetHack's scrolls. They are unusable without a computer. If the computer is buggy, it may eat the disks. Like NetHack, some floppy disks have different effects according to "BUC" status and if the hero is confused.

Under normal circumstances there is a chance of the "license expiring" and the disk disappearing; otherwise it stays in inventory and may be reused.

Floppy disk Cost NetHack analog Effects While confused
bug detection 25 If buggy, reveals itself to be buggy; if debugged, reveals items in inventory which are buggy; if optimized, reveals bugginess status of every item in inventory. Reveals insects on the level.
spam 25 Scams you out of up to 1000 buckazoids if you have at least 50. Unless it's buggy, it prompts first and you can deny.
identify 25 scroll of identify Identifies objects in inventory (1–5 if optimized).
blank floppy disk 50 scroll of blank paper Requires programming skill to "write". Successfully creates a random disk (no programming skill needed).
object detection 50 potion of object detection Detects objects on the level.
lifeform detection 50 potion of monster detection If buggy, detects yourself; if nonbuggy, detects lifeforms on the level. If buggy, gives YAFM; if nonbuggy, detects droids on the level.
mapping 50 scroll of magic mapping Maps the level. Reveals traps on the level.
diagnostics 50 potion of enlightenment Gives information about the hero's status.
debugging 100 scroll of remove curse If your computer is buggy, it is debugged. Otherwise, if the disk is buggy or debugged, it debugs wielded and worn items; if optimized, you pick an item to debug if bugged, or optimize if debugged. If buggy, debugs itself; if debugged, optimizes itself; if optimized, debugs every buggy item in pack.
enhance armor 100 scroll of enchant armor If buggy, "enhances" worn armor by −1 with no minimum; if debugged, debugs worn armor and enhances it by +1, to a maximum of +3; if optimized, optimizes worn armor and enhances it—possibly by several points—to a maximum of +5. Fooproofs worn armor and repairs damage.
enhance weapon 100 scroll of enchant weapon If buggy, "enhances" wielded weapon by −1 with no minimum; if debugged, debugs wielded weapon and enhances it by +1, to a maximum of +3; if optimized, optimizes wielded weapon and enhances it—possibly by several points—to a maximum of +5. Fooproofs wielded weapon and repairs damage.
enhance implant 100 scroll of charging (for rings) If buggy, "enhances" installed implant by −1 with no minimum; if debugged, enhances installed implant by +1, to a maximum of +3; if optimized, enhances installed implant—possibly by several points—to a maximum of +5.
transportation 100 scroll of teleportation If buggy, teleports you unsafely, possibly resulting in instant death; if debugged, teleports you relatively safely; if optimized, you make a controlled teleport. Same as normal, but will never give a controlled teleport.
hypnosis 100 potion of sleep If you are not blind, you fall asleep for 10d12 (buggy), 6d10 (debugged), or 4d6 (optimized) turns.
hacking 300 Attempts to "crack" a floppy disk, which if successful gives unlimited usage with a risk of summoning a lawyer (L). Cracking requires excessive leveling (25+), programming skill, intelligence, and luck.

Canisters

Canisters appear as ! and are roughly equivalent to NetHack's potions. However, canisters have no effect when thrown. Some may be applied as well as quaffed. If you have a canister of super glue stuck to your tongue, you are unable to quaff anything.

All canisters worth 50 buckazoids have positive effects. Also, any canister costing 75 buckazoids will help you with alien impregnation.

Canister Cost NetHack analog Effects
beer 5 potion of booze Confuses you for 2d50 turns, cures fright, and grants fear immunity while character stays confused.
super glue 5 Sticks to your tongue, causing a −4 charisma penalty until it falls off. If charisma falls below 1, you die by embarrassment. Apply to repair items or robots.
Nano-Cola 5 potion of gain energy Temporarily boosts charisma by 1d6 points (used for mutant powers).
water 5 uncursed potion of water Contains water, which does nothing. (There is no equivalent of NetHack's holy and unholy water.)
Rad-Away 50 Reduces hero's radiation contamination by 100–300 rads
restoration 50 potion of restore ability Restores hero's lost abilities, maybe partially. (There is no unicorn horn equivalent in ZAPM.)
healing 50 potion of healing Restores up to 4d8 hit points. If this would bring health over maximum, the maximum is raised by 1d3 points. Cures sickening, stunning, confusion, and soreness. Closes brain incision.
liquid nitrogen 75 Deals 4d6 freezing damage and aborts alien baby. This canister cannot be destroyed by freezing damage.
napalm 75 scroll of fire Deals 4d6 burning damage and aborts alien baby.
universal solvent 100 potion of acid Deals 2d6 corrosive damage and aborts alien baby. Can be applied to dissolve a glued canister.
Speed 100 potion of speed Speeds up hero for 4d20 (buggy), 12d20 (debugged), or 20d20 (optimized) turns. Cures hosing.
Poison 100 potion of sickness Deals 1d3 poison damage and aborts alien baby.
Plasma 100 Deals 4d6 electrical damage and aborts alien baby.
mutagen 200 Exposure to a great deal of radiation. Gain random mutant power. This item is radioactive, so unless you're protected you should stash unidentified canisters as quickly as possible. Easily identified with a geiger counter.
full healing 200 potion of full healing Restores up to 4d8 hit points. If this would bring your HP above maximum, your maximum is raised by 2d6 points. Cures sickening, stunning, confusion and soreness. Closes brain incision.
gain ability 200 potion of gain ability Gain +1 to one random ability if debugged, or +1 to all abilities if optimized.
spice 200 You fold space, teleporting immediately. Chances for transportation death are equal to debugged transportation floppy disk.
brain cylinder 1000 mind flayer corpse Gain +1 intelligence, to a maximum of 25.
antimatter 1000 You die instantly.

Armor

ZAPM has five armor slots: jumpsuit, body armor, helmet, belt, and goggles.

Armor class works differently than NetHack. 10 is still the base, but the value is increased with worn armor, so equipping something with armor class 1 results in character AC of 11. As in NetHack, armor can be enhanced (enchanted), and enhancement may be negative.

Powered armor carries its own weight, so it is effectively weightless when worn (but not when carried).

Although belts have randomized appearance, the shield belt is the only type currently implemented.

Psionic modifier affects the chance of mutant power use. This is analogous to NetHack's metal armor spellcasting penalty.

Bionic implants

Roughly analogous to NetHack's rings, ZAPM allows you to have five implants in your skull. You can also have implants in your ear and eye.

Implant Location Cost Psionic modifier Effects
health monitor cranium 300 −15% Grants low hit point warning, colors hit points display. Purely UI effect.
radiation processor cranium 300 −15% Reduces radiation contamination over time. Does not stack.
poison resistor cranium 300 −15% Grants 10 points of poison resistance, and the effect stacks, but 10 points is enough to negate all poison damage in the game. Very important to have.
babel fish ear 300 0% Grants translation intrinsic.
cerebral coprocessor cranium 300 −15% Affects intelligence by its enhancement. Stacks.
reflex coordinator cranium 300 −15% Affects agility by its enhancement. Stacks.
adrenaline generator cranium 300 −15% Affects strength by its enhancement. Stacks.

Eye of the BOFH eye 1000 0% Grants night vision, allows free passage through retina scanner door. Unique item.

Ray guns

Applying an empty ray gun fills it from a canister, giving the gun 2d6 charges. (Bugginess and fuel type do not matter.) If a canister is not listed here, it will ruin a ray gun.

Empty ray guns cost 200 buckazoids, disintegration costs 2000, and all others cost 800. All ray guns appear as "[color] ray gun" when unidentified. They auto-identify upon use.

Ray gun Loaded with Zap effect Notes
empty ray gun nothing
freeze ray gun canister of liquid nitrogen 4d8 freezing damage
heat ray gun canister of napalm 4d8 burning damage
gamma ray gun canister of mutagen 4d8 radiological damage Not effective against bots, programs, or radioactive vermin. This item is radioactive, so don't carry around when unprotected.
gauss ray gun canister of plasma 4d8 magnetic damage Only effective against robots or programs. Acts like cancellation on items.
healing ray gun canister of (full) healing 4d8 healing "damage" Angers monsters as if you attacked them. A canister of full healing is not any better than regular healing.
poison ray gun canister of poison 1d4 poison damage to hero, twice this amount to monsters
restoration ray gun canister of restoration 4d8 restoring "damage" Damage does not matter—it always triggers regular restoration effect
stasis ray gun canister of super glue 1d6 paralyzing damage By far best use for your canister of super glue.
transporter ray gun canister of spice melange transports everything it hits
disintegration ray gun canister of antimatter disintegration ray destroys almost everything on its path Rough equivalent to a black dragon's disintegration breath.
