hacken	fooproof	'rustproof', 'corrodeproof', 'fireproof', and 'fixed' are synonymous within the game and any can be used successfully in a wish. Which word appears depends on the material of the item. All cloth, leather, wood, and plastic items are "fireproof", all iron items are "rustproof". Bronze plate mail is "corrodeproof" and only the crysknife is "fixed".
Thvor	fooproof	Wishing for "fireproof" metal items results in "rustproof" ones, etc.
SpeedEvil	luckstone	Normally your luck changes by one point every 600 turns towards 0. Luckstones control this. A cursed one stops it rising, blessed stops it falling, and an uncursed one does both.
SpeedEvil	luckstone	A cursed luckstone subtracts 3 luck, all others add 3. You can still lose/gain luck by other means. More than one luckstone does not add more luck.

Adeon	aligned_priest	Aligned priests are @. They are found in temples, in sanctum, in some quests and on the Astral Plane. Aligned priests are shock resistant. Their attacks are 4d10 + 1d4 + clerical spellcasting.
Trollops	aligned_priest	If you want to kill an aligned priest, you'd best do it at a distance, or if you really must melee him, converting the altar will get rid of the attacks from that god's wrath, while failed conversions don't anger the priest at all. Be sure to have a ring of free action or a source of MR, as they can paralyze you, which is pretty much a guaranteed (and preventable) death.

dasunt	gauntlets_of_dexterity	Sometimes abbreviated as GoD, these leather gauntlets add their enchantment to your dexterity.  Good choice for spellcasters.  If not enchanted, they will not auto-ID when worn.
dtype	sokoban	The top level of Sokoban is guaranteed to either contain a Bag of Holding or Amulet of Reflection (chosen at random), as well as a wand and a ring on each of the four levels, and two scrolls of earth on the bottom level.
paxed	sokoban	An upward-extending branch consisting of 4 levels; it is reached by a second upstair on the Dungeons of Doom located on the level immediately below the Oracle level.
greycat	sokoban	This special dungeon branch is optional but recommended, and is a good source of food and a decent exercise regimen for under-muscled characters.  Once you learn the correct pattern for pushing the boulders around, it's not hard.
Zealot	sokoban	A good Sokoban spoiler is located at http://www.steelypips.org/nethack/soko-331.html , if you're into that sort of thing. Alternatively, you can practice (without spoilers) at http://nhss.twonegatives.com/ , to avoid messing up irreversibly in the real game (there is no reset button).
mekkis	sokoban	In the sokoban branch, reading scrolls of earth, jumping, casting stone-to-flesh at a boulder, polymorphing a boulder, smashing a boulder, being pulled by a chain attached to a thrown iron ball, movement by Newton's Third Law and squeezing past a boulder will give a -1 penalty to luck.
ais523	sokoban	In 3.4.3, the prize was not random, but depended on the layout: entrance at top = bag of holding, entrance at bottom = amulet of reflection.

ekiM	drawbridge	Drawbridges are a type of terrain represented by the symbol "#" in the TTY interface. They can be found at the entrance to the castle and in Lord Surtur's lair. The castle drawbridge can be raised or lowered by playing the correct 5-note passtune on a tonal instrument. To do this, decline to improvise when asked.
ekiM	drawbridge	The tune can be divined by playing mastermind (gear = right note right position, tumbler = right note wrong position) or gifted as a prayer favor. Flipping the bridge will squish object or monsters on the "bridge up" and "bridge down" squares. Phasers will evade. Flying monsters may evade. Playing the passtune takes zero game-time. If you miss a flyer, try again.
ekiM	drawbridge	Drawbridges will be destroyed if hit by a wand of striking or a force bolt. This is usually fatal to anyone standing on the "bridge up" or "bridge down" squares at the time. For this reason one usually stands a "knight's move" away from the castle bridge while squishing the inhabitants, to avoid line-of-sight with soldiers.
ekiM	drawbridge	Mastermind solver : http://nethack.gridbug.de/mm.html
AceSevenFive	drawbridge	Warning: Opening drawbridges can be fatal.

Zauren	mimic	Word of warning: If your pet is of a level to fight mimics, do /not/ let them. This usually happens in shops. Mimics can kill a pet before it is damaged enough to stop auto-attacking, especially large ones.

Cyde	kraken	Krakens are a good choice to genocide if you don't know the B/U/C status of the scroll, because they are a good genocide choice anyway but if the scroll is cursed they are really easy to kill since they don't usually attack out of water.  Also, they give good experience.
tweek__	kraken	Dead easy to farm, if you have a reliable way to cast Turn Undead. Build a fortress out of boulders, engrave E under them, teleport in and reverse geno kraken. Once you have it set up, it's a matter of casting Turn Undead and meleeing them to death or casting a spell like MM or FoD.

bcode	mail_daemon	If you anger a mail daemon, it will not leave while you are next to it (and won't attack as it has no attacks). Step away and it'll disappear, though.
bcode	mail_daemon	Tame mail daemons will behave as any other monster and won't disappear. Because of their high monster MR of 127, you can only tame them by repeatedly using a magic trap while they are adjacent.

bcode	#nethack:dywypi?	"Do you want your possessions identified?", the first thing the game (in)famously asks you when you've died.
paxed	incubi	plural of incubus
paxed	identify	You can identify items by reading a scroll of identify (best blessed), casting identify -spell, or #sitting on a throne. (small chance)
paxed	identify	Scrolls of identify are easy to price-ID in shops, as they are the cheapest scroll.
fontp	identify	Blessed scroll has a 1/5 chance of IDing 1, 2, 3, 4, or all items. Positive luck guarantees at least 2. Uncursed has a 21/25 chance of IDing one item, and a 1/25 chance of each 2, 3, 4, and all items. Cursed only IDs one item.
anselmus	identify	You can also ID by price. See ??Clippy and tabs-343.txt.

BenUrban	leprechaunflict	Getting a leprechaun to repeatedly steal from a priest.
BenUrban	leprechaunflict	This is best done with a pet leprechaun, but it can be done with hostile leprechauns, and usually requires a ring of conflict.
raxvulpine	leprechaunflict	A leprechaun's attack will steal gold from its target. To repeatedly rebuy protection, put leprechauns -- tame means you can whistle them back -- in the same room as a priest, and then cause conflict. The leprechauns (if they don't die first) will steal zorkmids from the priest, and then teleport away.
raxvulpine	leprechaunflict	The Valley of the Dead is no-teleport, but getting a horde of leprechauns there may be tricky; try a cursed scroll of genocide and some source of taming.

konso	statue	Statues can be broken to get rocks, and sometimes a spellbook. Also, the statues of stoned monsters will contain their inventory.
konso	statue	If a player dies by stoning and leaves a bones file, there will be a statue of that person instead of a ghost on that level. That statue will contain all of that player's possessions.
konso	statue	Statues can be broken with a wand of striking, the spell 'force bolt' or with a pickaxe.
Stevie	statue	The exact chance for a suitable statue to be given a spellbook is (dlvl/2 - 1) in (dlvl/2 + 10) calculated on creation, so moving it before breaking won't help. The formula (which uses integer arithmetic) implies that only statues randomly created on levels below 3 (i.e. level 4 or deeper) can contain spellbooks.
Stevie[FP]	statue	Statues of the following monsters are considered 'verysmall', too small to hold a spellbook: All 'a' except giant beetles; acid blobs; chickatrices; homunculi and imps; leprechauns; sewer/giant/rabid/were-rats; cave spiders; centipedes; all 'x'; bats; garter snakes; all ':' except crocodile and salamander.
Stevie[FP]	statue	Furthermore, since containers resulting from a polymorph never have contents, trying to poly boulders for spellbooks is a waste of time.

tweek__	stinking_cloud	A cursed scroll will generate a cloud of radius 2 that will dissipate in d3+3 turns, with damage d4+5 until the last two turns of the cloud's life. Uncursed scrolls give radius 3, d3+5 cloud duration, and d8+5 damage (d4+5 damage during the last two turns). Blessed gives radius 4, d3+7 cloud duration, and d12+5 damage, d6+5 damage during last four turns, and d3+5 in last two rounds.
tweek__	stinking_cloud	Always identified when read ("You have found a scroll of stinking cloud!") and must be used at some spot that is visible to you that is (generally) five squares away or less. If used too far away, no effect ("You smell rotten eggs.")

nailbunny	zen	A conduct in which the player wears a blindfold or towel on the first turn of the game and only removes it to read the Book of the Dead. This conduct therefore requires one to start with either a blindfold or towel. Samurai and Rogues have a 20% chance of starting a blindfold, and Wizards have a 16% chance. Tourists have a 3.7% chance of starting with a towel.
nailbunny	zen	For classes that don't start with a blinding tool, acquiring one within the first 1000 turns is considered an acceptable substitute for some NetHackers.

mathx	drain_for_prot	A dangerous technique of getting to the VotD with a ton of loot (Ludios etc) and having a kindly wraith drain you back down to level 1, at which point you then turn your drain protection back on suddenly, kill the wraith and chat the VoD priest.
mathx	drain_for_prot	Suggested that you notch up your bedposts with a number of nurse encounters BEFORE trying this, so you have a healthy, say, 80HP at level 1. Added bonus: leveling back up with your probably-18-Con-by-now character gets you even more max hp. You also get to fix all those silly skill slot choices you made 30k turns ago. Used by mathx, et al.
mathx	drain_for_prot	It gets boring #ch<cr><space>400<cr>'ing each time you donate, so make a macro. Wield a creampie or a !o*Heal tho incase your macro messes up when something happens, cuz this one time, I, uh...</wiggum>

billnyeWRK	credit	When in a shop, any money dropped by you (or placed into containers on the floor of the shop) will add to your credit with that shopkeeper.  [You can check your available credit with the ($) command]
billnyeWRK	credit	When purchasing items, the game will ask whether you wish to use store credit first.  This method is preferable to straight payment because marauding creatures or your pets can pick up the stack of zorkmids and deliver it outside the shop, without affecting shop credit.
billnyeWRK	credit	Doing this intentionally is a great way to multiply your shop credit, to be able to afford those items your pets can't (or won't... useful cursed) steal for you.
billnyeWRK	credit	Note, however, that this is only useful for obtaining items rather than obtaining cash, as the multiplication involved is strictly "on the books"
billnyeWRK	credit	This method .can., however, be used to purchase an expensive uncursed spellbook or weapon, which can be repeately stolen and resold to bleed the shopkeeper dry of funds when you need the cold hard cash.

runcible	fell_onto_a_sink	Death from de-levitating by floating over a sink.  HP loss is d8 + (25-CON).  Abuses DEX.  If wielding a trice corpse, it will stone you like falling into other traps.  If a weapon or weapon-tool is on the sink, an additional d3 damage is applied and CON is abused.
paxed	delicatessen	A shop.  Sells and buys food, fruit juice, booze, water and ice boxes.

dasunt	alchemy	Dipping one or more potions into another to generate different potions.  For example, healing potions dipped into speed create diluted potions of extra healing.  Extra healing dipped into gain energy/level create diluted potions of full healing.
Zadir	alchemy	If you have a surplus of speed, gain energy or gain level potions, you can dip that surplus into the healing or extra healing potion instead, to convert that surplus into the better healing potion. Also, enlightenment into levitation (or vice versa) has a 2/3 chance of becoming gain level, to further your alchemy with.
SpeedEvil	alchemy	If you have (for example) two stacks of healing, one diluted, then to save a potion of speed, you can dilute the undiluted one with water, so that the potions are now in one stack, and can be dipped in one potion.
I3rian	alchemy	The potions resulting from alchemy are always created uncursed, unless you count #dipping into a potion of unholy/holy water alchemy.
jmr	alchemy	See also: http://www.steelypips.org/nethack/343/pot2-343.html
PsyMar	alchemy	Note that some of the seemingly "useless" alchemy formulas in the table, like speed+fruit juice = booze, are sometimes quite useful if their results are smoky in your game.  Also, while "sickness+fruit juice=sickness" seems useless, you could use it to turn 1 sickness and 10 fruit juice into 10 sickness, and if sickness is smoky... you get the idea.
PsyMar	alchemy	In rare cases, you may wish to alchemize for booze if you have reached the planes with no forgotten spells -- but don't bless the booze or it won't work.

paxed	decgraphics	Configuration option. Use DEC line-drawing characters.  Won't work for all terminals.
tweek__	decgraphics	If you use XTerm/RXVT/aterm/Eterm/etc. to play NetHack through NAO, and can't seem to get DECgraphics to display correctly, check out http://tweek.no-ip.org/stuff/lutRS13-ascii.bdf.bz2 for a 13-pt fixed-width Lucida font that (supposedly) works with DEC/IBM/whatever, and looks cool.
tweek__	decgraphics	To prepare - decompress the file ($ bunzip2 lutRS13-ascii.bdf.bz2), then use bdftopcf to compile the font ($ bdftopcf lutRS13-ascii.bdf > lutRS13-ascii.pcf), then gzip the resulting file ($ gzip lutRS13-ascii.pcf).
tweek__	decgraphics	To install - copy the gzipped, compiled PCF file into any font path specified in your XF86Config or xorg.conf file. I use /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/. Then cd to that path and use mkfontdir (# mkfontdir) to regenerate the path's fonts.dir listing, then use xset ($ xset fp rehash) to have X look for new fonts. (You could also restart X, but, meh.)
tweek__	decgraphics	To use - tell your favorite terminal emulator to use the font -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-13-125-75-75-m-80-ascii-0 (on many systems -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-ascii-0 will be enough). Most of these accept a command-line argument of -fn; for something more permanent, add an entry to .Xresources like Aterm*font: -*-lucida...
tweek__	decgraphics	Report any bugs, occurences of artifacts (annoying pixels that remain after redraws) or general ideas (I plan, for example, to round the corners off eventually) to tweek.20k@gmail.com

dasunt	eating_amulets	 All amulets except the Amulet of Yendor can be eaten, but only the Amulet of Magical Breathing is worth eating for a chance of gaining the intrinsic.  If you are desperate, amulets of ESP and amulets versus poison may give telepathy and poison resistance respectively.
dasunt	eating_amulets	Eating an amulet of strangulation may kill you.  Eating an amulet of change may toggle your gender, and eating an amulet of restful sleep may put you to sleep.
mathx	eating_amulets	Eating amulets (if your form allows, eg as X) gives intrins 1/5 of the time: change, ESP -> telepathy, breathing -> +unbreathing, sleep (1-20 turns every 1-100), strangulation -> 19/20 chance choking death, unchanging -> back to natural form, poison (res).'

greycat	luck	Luck affects many aspects of the game, but the most important is a straight bonus or penalty to your to-hit rolls.
umopepisdn	luck	Starting or restoring a game during a full moon will set your base luck to 1; Starting or restoring a game on Friday the 13th will set your base luck to -1.

Stevie[FP]	naming_artifacts	Two artifacts can be created by #naming their base types, Sting (an elven dagger) and Orcrist (an elven broadsword).
Stevie[FP]	naming_artifacts	If you try to give the name of an artifact to an object of the same type (e.g. "Excalibur" to a long sword), it will fail ('your finger slips').
Stevie[FP]	naming_artifacts	While a pointless exercise for weapons, you can abuse this 'feature' to help discern certain other object types:

Stevie	naming_artifacts	Note carefully that you have to NAME, not CALL the object -- answer YES when it asks "Name an individual object"?
Eidolos	naming_artifacts	In Slash'EM this abuse is more effective because there are many more artifacts. In this way, you can identify: bag of holding, speed boots, gauntlets of dexterity, cloak of displacement, helm of telepathy, and some other, Slash'EM-specific, items.

Eidolos	apply_testing	A relatively new movement in NetHack identification. You apply (that is, break) unknown wands to determine what they are. It's like engrave testing but for pros only.
Eidolos	apply_testing	Remember that you have to be strong enough to actually break the wand (a common problem for new wizards); you need at least 10 str. Also, be wary that every uncharged wand will give "But nothing else happens..." so apply-test them before you are tempted to zap their charges away.
Eidolos	apply_testing	Applying a wand of magic missile will give "You are caught in the magical blast!" and you take some damage unless you have MR.
Eidolos	apply_testing	Applying a wand of striking gives "A wall of force smashes down around you!"
Eidolos	apply_testing	Wands of fire, lightning, and cold create a ball of <element>. Great for the Fourth of July.
Eidolos	apply_testing	Applying a wand of digging is useful even to normies: it creates pits and holes on each square adjacent to you and under you.
Eidolos	apply_testing	Wands of teleport, sleep, cancellation, polymorph, make invisible, speed monster, and slow monster all create a magical blast, then act as if you zapped yourself and every adjacent square with the wand. So that minotaur will become fast, neat!
Eidolos	apply_testing	Applying a wand of undead turning will blast you magically (as usual) and then as an added bonus you shudder in dread. You also get the normal undead turning effect (so your lizard corpse revives).
Eidolos	apply_testing	Applying a wand of light will blind you, but it'll also act as if you zapped it.
Eidolos	apply_testing	The following wands give "But nothing else happens...": nothing, enlightenment, wishing, probing, opening, locking, and secret door detection. The last three have no effect even when standing adjacent to a (closed, open, secret) door.
Eidolos	apply_testing	Applying a wand of death will give "You are caught in the death field!" This will not automatically kill you (even if you are MRless), but it does quite a lot of damage, so watch out!
Eidolos	apply_testing	Applying a wand of create monster will summon a substantial horde even if the wand is at (0:1).

greycat	erinys	The Punisher of the Unfaithful.  Originally called Erinys... later called, Erinyes. Referred to as, "the mist-walking..." and, with fear and respect, "the kindly one". She would harass and injure her prey but not kill them.

BEHiker57W	sudokuban	You have to push the boulders with numbers around them in such a way that no number appears in the same row, column or box, and doing so wins you a fake amulet.
paxed	invocation	To get to Moloch's Sanctum, you have to perform this.  You'll need The Candelabrum of Invocation (plus 7 candles), The Bell of Opening and The Book of Dead.
dasunt	invocation	The normal procedure is to get the Bell of Opening and Candelabrum, find the vibrating square, make sure you are ready to ascend, whack the wizard, then perform the invocation.
jilles	invocation	The exact procedure is to stand on the vibrating square, light the Candelabrum (7 candles must be attached), ring the Bell (these first two may be done in any order), and read the Book.

But they are fast, they can teleport and are able to steal your gold. So always have some means of either securing your cash or killing them quickly.
billnye	leprechaun	They can only teleport if they steal gold from you, or from the floor at your feet.  They can't teleport after stealing gold that's lying on the ground away from you.  So either drop your gold and *step away from it* or stash it away in a sack before fighting them.

Zadir	potion_of_speed	When quaffed, makes you "very fast" for 40-49 (more) turns if cursed, 100-109 (more) turns if uncursed, and 160-169 (more) turns if blessed. Heals wounded legs, but does -not- grant any additional speed if this happens.
tsuteiuQ	shield	There are seven types of shields in the game. The small shield, orcish (red-eyed), and Uruk-hai (white-handed) shield all drop AC by one. The elven (blue and green), dwarvish roundshield (large round), large, and shield of reflection (polished) all drop AC by 2. The shield of reflection is made of silver, the small and elven shields are wood, the rest are iron.
nornagon	you_feel_like_sitting_in_a_corner	see {sitting_in_a_corner}
Dentarthur	steed	Potential steeds include all CDJqu and ki-rin.
jilles	followers	Monsters which follow you across staircases, level teleports, trapdoors etc. are the Wizard of Yendor, angry shopkeepers, gremlins, stalkers, salamanders, ghosts, shades, mercenaries (soldiers etc. and watchmen/captains), Croesus, all quest nemeses, all zombies (Z except ghoul, skeleton), all i, t, A, T, &, V, W, and pets.
_bryce	followers	Sleeping followers will not follow. Remember this if you have stealth and are trying to use levelporting to lure wraiths from a graveyard. Monsters with the Amulet of Yendor won't follow across levels. Monsters other than the Wizard of Yendor and shopkeepers won't follow if they're fleeing unless you have the Amulet of Yendor.
Eidolos	followers	Note that liches are NOT followers, but they will escape up stairs if you are nearby and they are deeply hurt. (They're very sensitive, you know.)
paxed	#adjust	Extended command.  Adjust inventory letters.  Most useful when the fixinv option is on.
greycat	wombat	The wombat lives across the seas, / Among the far Antipodes. / He may exist on nuts and berries, / Or then again, on missionaries; / His distant habitat precludes / Conclusive knowledge of his moods. / But I would not engage the wombat / In any form of mortal combat.
Zealot	wombat	Slang for a character which is mostly combat oriented, like Barbarians and Valkyries. The opposite of a wizard.  "Combat wombat".
paxed	#invoke	Extended command.  Invoke an object's special powers. Only quest artifacts have invokable powers.
Eidolos	#invoke	Invoking before the timeout expires adds 3d10 more turns. You'll still get blasted, if applicable. Successful invocation sets the timeout to rnz(100) turns. You can get within less than a turn of the optimal strategy by trying to #invoke once every 78 turns.
Greentryst	this_tastes_like_dandelion_wine	You quaffed a potion of booze while hallucinating.
scorchgeek	mimic_of_the_mines	see {mines'_end}
blindcoder	terminal_freeze	If your terminal freezes, you might have hit Ctrl-S. Try Ctrl-Q to unfreeze the terminal.
Mucknert	quest	Each character class has a unique Quest.  The entrance to the Quest level is a hidden portal 6 or 7 levels below the Oracle level (between DL 11 and 16).  While you can enter the Quest before level 14, your guild leader will not allow you to attempt it until you've reached experience level 14.  You must complete it by defeating your quest nemesis, thus obtaining an essential artifact, in order to win the game.
Poeir	quest	You get two artifacts from the Quest:  One essential, one brimming with special abilities.
OliverKlozoff	quest	<dasunt> Tourist quest is your reward for getting to the quest portal.
avian	quest	Have the quest artifact in your main inventory when you #chat with the quest leader after completing the quest.
paxed	magic_cancellation	Magic cancellation lowers the chance of success of the following special melee attacks against you: fire, cold, electricity, sleep, poison, paralysis, level drain, lycanthropy, teleport, energy drain, slime, sticking to mimics, intrinsic speed stealing (shades/skeletons), and disenchanting.  It does NOT affect the success probability of ray or gaze attacks, nor does it prevent monsters cursing your equipment.
konso	magic_cancellation	There are four levels of magic cancellation: 0 (no cancellation), 1 (~33% chance), 2 (~65% chance) and 3 (~98% chance)
tsuteiuQ	magic_cancellation	See "mc1", "mc2", and "mc3" for more details.
DainDwarf	magic_cancellation	Magic cancellation does not stack, instead it uses the greatest magic cancellation item you have equipped. For example, having a cornuthaum and an alchemy smock equipped results in MC2.
Stevie	cancellable_monsters	see {cancelable monsters}
paxed	tyr	The lawful god of the Valkyrie pantheon.
Tjr	tyr	Different from the person Tjr.
Hellzon	lemming	A train of people asking Rodney about the same thing in succession.
PsyMar	lemming	A supporter of (insert your least favorite politician here.)
PsyMar	lemming	Oddly enough, not a hallucinated monster, despite the popularity of the game Lemmings.

dasunt	riding_boots	Either the unidentified elven, kicking, fumble, levitation, jumping, speed or water walking boots. When worn, they provide a  10% bonus to the chance to successfully saddle a steed (not cumulative with riding gloves). Does not apply if they happen to be fumbling boots.
paxed	alignment	"Alignment" refers to your standing with your god.
paxed	alignment	Its initial value is 0 for character classes CPTVW, and 10 for character classes ABHKMRoRaS.
Stevie-O	alignment	Its maximum value starts at 10 and is increased by 1 every 200 turns (so at T:199, max align is 10, at T:200 max align is 11).
Eidolos	alignment	Since alignment is a signed 32-bit integer, the minimum alignment is -2,147,483,648. There seems to be some over/underflow protection (so you can't have +2bil alignment).
Eidolos	alignment	The exact formula for maximum alignment is (10+turns/200). In the spoilers, this number is called L. For example, killing your quest leader sets your alignment to -L/2.
Stevie-O	alignment	To do the quest you must have align >= 20, which means you absolutely cannot possibly do the quest before turn 2000, no matter how many wraith corpses you eat or !oGL you quaff.
Problem	alignment	For enlightenment messages (Such as You are Devoutly Aligned) and more info, see: http://www.steelypips.org/nethack/pray.html
Stevko	scroll_turns_to_dust_as_you_pick_it_up	see {scare_monster}
PsyMar	spetum	A pole-arm.  Unidentified appearance is forked polearm.  1+1d6 vs. small monsters, 2d6 vs large.
paxed	summoning_storm	Archons, Titans and Liches can cause a kind of cascade, summoning other monsters, which will keep summoning others.
dasunt	unlocking_tools	Lock picks and keys can lock or unlock items, while credit cards can only unlock.
dasunt	unlocking_tools	Credit cards have the smallest chance of working, skeleton keys have the best chance of working for all classes except rogues. (Rogues with 18+ str have a better chance with lock picks.)  Using any of the three exercizes dexterity.
dasunt	unlocking_tools	If you 'fail' unlocking an object, you will automatically retry next turn, until you either pick the lock or 50 turns go by.
jilles	unlocking_tools	A cursed tool has only half the chance of succeeding (so the process will take longer).
quipyowert	you_feel_a_strange_vibration	You are standing on the vibrating square
joshk	field_of_force	Some bits of your armor nearly got destroyed by a magic creature, but you have MR, so it's still there.
kerio	adeon	Deliciously finnish.
scorchgeek	adeon	Caused genodeen to become inaccessible to the general web at its former domain. Some people say he sucks because of this.

nooodl	beehive	Frequency: 1/5, DL 10+.

Stevie	protection_from_shape_changers	info { price: 100; weight: 3; charged: no }
dtriscuit	protection_from_shape_changers	does not protect you from contracting lycanthropy by eating a werefoo corpse.
Elliott	protection_from_shape_changers	Prevents werefoo from summoning ('But none comes.')
scorchgeek	protection_from_shape_changers	Useful on the rogue quest due to all the chameleons, and anytime in the early game to prevent seeing an arch-lich where you shouldn't.
DrSunglass	mrtifact	Lawful quest artifacts that confer magic resistance when carried: the Orb of Detection (archeologist), the Sceptre of Might (caveman), the Magic Mirror of Merlin (knight). Neutral quest artifacts that confer magic resistance when carried: the Eyes of the Overworld (monk), the Platinum Yendorian Express Card (tourist), the Eye of the Aethiopica (wizard). No chaotic quest artifacts confer magic resistance.

blackcustard	#nethack:"?	Amulet.
Stevie-O	scepter_pounded_in_judgement	There's a throne room on the level.
itsblah	food_consumption	Normally you consume 1 point per turn for normal food consumption, but having slow digestion or polymorphing into a monster that does not eat will get rid of this.
dasunt	food_consumption	Spell casting, using #monster, and laying eggs will all increase hunger.
itsblah	food_consumption	Wizards with enough Int consume less or no food for casting spells. 14 or less = same consumption, 15 = 1/2 consumption, 16 = 1/4 consumption, 17 or more = no comsumption
paxed	food_consumption	Worn rings and amulets, fighting, heavy encumbrance, regeneration and conflict increase food consumption.
itsblah	food_consumption	Rings of slow digestion still cause ring hunger when worn, and two rings of slow digestion will actually make you hungry faster.
paxed	putty	If you really must use windows, grab PuTTY from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Zealot	putty	PuTTY has a "nethack" numpad mode which dupes the number pad to hjklyubn. Crazy. All versions of NetHack played nowadays (including NAO and even vanilla 3.4.3) have better numpad support natively, so you shouldn't use it.
dasunt	piece_of_cloth	Either the unidentified cloak of displacement, unidentified cloak of invisibility, unidentified cloak of magic resistance, or the unidentified cloak of protection.

Eidolos	body_armor	What follows is the (base AC reduction/weight) of each type of body armor, ripped shamelessly from the Guidebook and source code:

Eidolos	body_armor	Monks wearing any of the above will suffer a -20 to-hit penalty, will not deal staggering blows, and will lose their weaponless to-hit bonus (2 + xplev / 3). 
scorchgeek	body_armor	No, body armor does not include cloaks, shirts, boots, shields, gloves, or helmets. Monks can wear those just fine.
nooodl	cav_skills	Basic: dagger, pickaxe, morning star, attack spells, unicorn horn. Skilled: knife, axe, flail, hammer, polearms, javelin, trident, bow, matter spells. Expert: club, mace, quarterstaff, spear, sling, boomerang. Master: bare handed combat.

GreyKnight	covetous_monsters	None of these creatures can be tamed. They will attempt to steal any items they covet from you, and will pick them up if found on the ground.
Zadir	destroy_old_game	The bane of an online nethack session. As long as you don't press "y", the game is probably recoverable. Ask paxed nicely and he might help you with this.
SpeedEvil	system_shock	A polymorph can fail and result in a system shock. The chance is (20 - CON) out of 20. So with 18 con, 2/20. It costs 1d30 hit points and your CON is abused. "You shudder for a moment." Polymorph control protects you from system shock.

jilles	master_lich	Arch-liches and high-level master liches can cast touch of death.
jilles	master_lich	They like waking up all monsters on the level ("You feel monsters are aware of your presence.")
SpeedEvil	master_lich	Arch and master liches (both represented as a purple 'L') have MR 90, which basically means they are highly resistant to many spells. 
Anden	master_lich	Be careful -- in Gehennom, their summon nasties spell might summon a demon lord.
Hacken	brainlessness	A mindflayer's tentacle attack may lower intelligence. If your base intelligence goes below 3, you die. A dunce cap will lock it at 6, keeping you safe. A ring of sustain ability will also protect you. However, nothing will protect you from forgetting levels and items.

Jafet	cockatrice	One of the most interesting (read: dangerous) monsters in NetHack. Coming into contact with one, or hearing its hissing, may cause delayed stoning death ("You are slowing down.") or instant stoning death ("You turn to stone.") to players and monsters.
Jafet	cockatrice	You have two turns to eat lizard meat or acidic food, or quaff a potion of acid, or #pray. You lose any intrinsic speed. Carry lizard corpses for this. During a new moon, hissing attacks always succeed unless you carry lizard corpses.
Jafet	cockatrice	There are 47 cockatrice-related ways to be petrified. Of these, only 13 involve a live cockatrice. Touching a cockatrice corpse in any way can be immediately fatal. When you eat or are hit by a cockatrice egg, delayed stoning begins.
Jafet	cockatrice	Instantly die to a corpse! Get hit by a monster wielding one; fall downstairs, on a sink or in a pit while wielding one; try to eat one (beware inventory slots like 'e', 'n', 'y'); kick one without boots; or without wearing gloves: pick up, wield, bag or unbag, tin, #offer, or feel on the floor while blind. And More.
Jafet	cockatrice	Instantly kill monsters! Tame cockatrices, conflict cockatrices, wield a corpse, throw eggs, or polymorph into one and let monsters hit you. There is no delayed stoning for monsters; non-resistant monsters are killed right away.
scorchgeek	cockatrice	Genociding c can save you from some of these deaths. However, since the corpses are so useful in a tight or congested spot, it's often not a good idea. Note that if you wish for a corpse with c genocided, you'll get a random corpse instead.

tsuteiuQ	protection	Once you reach 9 points of protection (AC:1), additional donation attempts only have a 1/(protection) chance of giving you another point of protection, up to a maximum of 20 points of protection (AC:-10)
darB	protection	Additional protection may also be gained from #praying.  This comes in one-point increments with no limit (beyond the hard limit of AC wrapping at -128)
eswald	protection	You can lose protection by: 1) praying when it is unsafe to pray; 2) attempting an egregiously offensive sacrifice; 3) killing a coaligned priest; 4) putting on or removing a helm of opposite alignment; or 5) getting hit by a gremlin at night.

SpeedEvil	some_armor	This function determines which item of armor will be affected by enchant/destroy armor,
SpeedEvil	some_armor	monsters casting destroy armor, or disenchanters hitting your armor.
SpeedEvil	some_armor	First, the game picks the outer body armor (of cloak, main armor, shirt), if any.
SpeedEvil	some_armor	Then, for each slot of helm, gloves, footwear and shield, if it has not picked an item, that slot gets picked. If it has a pick, then the new slot has 1/4 chance of being picked instead.

scorchgeek	polymorph	See 'polyself' for information on polymorphing yourself.
Stevie	polymorph	Zapping a wand of polymorph (or casting the spell) at an object or stack of objects will change them into new, randomly chosen objects of the same class (i.e. weapons -> weapons, armor -> armor).

SpeedEvil	polymorph	See also ?? system_shock, ?? polyself_bug
SpeedEvil	quaff_test	How to ID potions, with no ID scrolls. There are of course risks, but these can be minimised.
SpeedEvil	quaff_test	First, apply a potion. This will find oil.
SpeedEvil	quaff_test	Next, dip an arrow, or other projectile into the potion. This will poison the arrow, if the potion is sickness, and ID it. If the arrows are already poisoned and the coating wears off, it's some sort of healing potion.
SpeedEvil	quaff_test	If the arrow turns into something else at this step, you've found polymorph.
Eidolos	quaff_test	Dip a unicorn horn into the potion. If it clears, it is hallucination, blindness or confusion. Dipping a horn can also make sickness turn into fruit juice, but we've already covered that.
SpeedEvil	quaff_test	Now, the remaining nasties are sleeping, paralysis, and to a lesser extent levitation.
SpeedEvil	quaff_test	If you have a few hundred turns of food, you can safely test levitation, but paralysis and sleeping are best tested in a closet with elbereth engraved.
SpeedEvil	quaff_test	Clear potions are always water, smoky potions in addition to their normal effect may give a wish (see {smoky_potion}) and milky may yield ghosts.
SpeedEvil	quaff_test	Also, see help entries on 'potion' and 'nymph'
PsyMar	quaff_test	Note that the effects of sleeping potions can be countered by sleep resistance or free action, so if you have one of the two and sleeping is the only 'nasty' potion remaining, you can go ahead and quaff test.
TheShrewdDude	loud_splash	The sound you get when striking (or force-bolting) down the drawbridge, while blind.
TheShrewdDude	loud_splash	"You hear a loud *SPLASH!*"
pak21	your_vision_flattens	You would have just finished hallucinating, but Grayswandir prevented you hallucinating in the first place.
Mucknert	altar	Commonly used for #offering fresh corpses (usually not of your own race), #praying for certain favors, 'd'ropping items to get hold of their cursed/uncursed/blessed status. You can raise your luck with it, get non-quest artifacts, get crowned, obtain spellbooks and many many more with those, too.
Poeir	altar	#offer a corpse on an altar to raise your alignment.  If you sacrifice on a noncoaligned altar with positive alignment, there's a chance (yourLevel+2)/(yourLevel+8) you'll convert the altar to be coaligned, but if you have a negative alignment, there's a chance your alignment will change (making the game unwinnable if done before the Quest).
Poeir	altar	See http://www.steelypips.org/nethack/pray.html for complete praying spoiler.
Poeir	altar	Attempting to engrave or sit on top of one is a good way to get a -1 luck penalty, or a -1 wisdom penalty if the altar is co-aligned.
zezozose	altar	Luck has no effect on your chances of converting an altar, but it will affect your chances of being confronted by a minion of the god of the altar you converted (or tried to).
zezozose	altar	If your alignment is negative when you try to convert an altar, you will be converted to the altar's god instead.
zezozose	altar	Failing to convert an altar incurs a -1 luck penalty.
zezozose	altar	Being converted to the altar's god incurs a -3 luck penalty.
AnMaster	altar	Kicking an altar is also a bad idea.

Stevie-O	puddingbane	Usually a highly rusted iron helmet or skeleton key/lock pick, used to split brown and black puddings in order to farm them. The name is a joke based on the many crap monster-specific artifacts such as Dragonbane, Trollsbane, etc.
Elliott	puddingbane	You should use an orcish dagger or a scalpel (knife if you can't find a scalpel) not a key, whichever you are unskilled in. Engrave it to -3, and the damage done when rusted should be 1 per hit. With a non-weapon, damage will be 1 + str bonus per hit.
billnye	puddingbane	the drawback to using a weapon instead of a tool is that your altar prayers (you are farming an altar, right?) will occasionally result in the weapon being repaired.
azgor	puddingbane	You can solve this problem by switching to your alternate weapon before praying.  It's a good idea to have a proper weapon handy anyway just in case something nasty sneaks up on you.
azgor	puddingbane	Unarmed combat while wearing iron gloves or an iron ring will not split puddings.  However, you can split puddings with these items if you wield them.  (iron wands work too when wielded)

jdorje	demogorgon	Only chaotic demons (Orcus, Juiblex and Yeenoghu, of which Orcus is the most effective) may gate in Demogorgon, although he can be also be summoned by high-level spellcasters (eg Rodney)
Babamus	demogorgon	If you want to kill him a lot of times, take care of the black dragons before they disintegrate him.

GreyKnight	fountaineering	see {fountain quaffing}
dtype	magic_lamp	#rub a blessed one for an 80% chance of a wish (from a djinni). Otherwise they make a great permanent light source, which is actually often preferable in endgame when you don't need more wishes. Uncursed and cursed magic lamps provide the permanent light, but don't #rub them if you want a wish.
dtype	magic_lamp	The easist way to ID a magic lamp is by the high price (50-100 versus 5-15 for oil). You can also light it and see if it goes out within a couple thousand turns. If an unID'd lamp is already blessed, it doesn't hurt to #rub it anyway.
Eidolos	magic_lamp	Cancelling a magic lamp gives an uncursed magic lamp.

SpeedEvil	erosion	Erosion is the general term for bad things that can happen to stuff, to make them less effective.
SpeedEvil	erosion	Iron rusts, cloth and leather burn and rot, wood burns.
SpeedEvil	erosion	With armour, each level of erosion reduces the base armour class by 1. For example, an elven cloak has a base AC of 1.
SpeedEvil	erosion	The first attack takes this to 0, but subseqent attacks don't reduce it below zero.
SpeedEvil	erosion	Enchantment still affects AC - a +2 rotted elven cloak gives you 2AC.
Midnyt	erosion	Blessed armour is less likely to erode, and grease protects totally (until it is worn off).
SpeedEvil	erosion	Armor can be erosion proofed by reading a cursed scroll of destroy armor while confused, or by reading a non-cursed scroll of enchant armor while confused (the latter repairs any damage).
ledneh	erosion	Weapons which are eroded suffer a damage penalty equal to the highest damage level. So a rusted, thoroughly corroded weapon will suffer a -3 damage modifier, not a -4.

dasunt	black_opal	A rare hard black gem worth 2500 zorkmids.
dasunt	black_opal	In the main dungeon, black opals usually won't be seen above dungeon level 13.
paxed	unicorn	White unicorns are lawful, gray are neutral and black are chaotic.  Coaligned unicorns are generated peaceful.
Mucknert	unicorn	Speed 24 (2x your normal), AC 2, attack 1d12 + 1d6. Very dangerous, but they stay out of melee range and direct line of fire, usually a knight's move away. May teleport to keep away from you, on levels where teleportation is allowed.
tsuteiuQ	unicorn	Move next to a unicorn to fight it. Back off if you cannot win. Polearms work. Ranged attacks work if you are very fast, or in a no-teleport hallway. Unicorns cannot see you if you are invisible. Bounce ray attacks (sleep, magic missile, etc.) off walls to attack them when they are not in a direct line of fire.
Mucknert	unicorn	Always leaves corpse; usually leaves uncursed +0 unicorn horn. Safe to eat; may grant poison resistance. If killed after being revived or polymorphed, only 1/20 chance of leaving horn. Can undead turn corpse repeatedly for horns (magical tool polyfodder). You do not get a horn from breaking a unicorn statue.
joshk	unicorn	They collect gems, unless tame. Throw a gem (even rocks) at one to make peaceful. If a co-aligned unicorn "gratefully accepts", the gem was valuable and you gain luck; otherwise it "graciously accepts". UnIDed gems: +1 luck; #named gems: +2; IDed gems: +5. If cross-aligned, randomly increases or decreases your luck, with no way of telling.
Stevie	unicorn	Killing co-aligned unicorns is -5 luck. Be wary in sokoban. Sacrifice cross-aligned unicorns on your altar for +5 alignment; or on their gods' altars to reduce your god's anger (and increase theirs). Sacrifice co-aligned unicorns on your altar to anger *your* god; or on another altar to permanently convert your alignment and perhaps lose the game.
paxed	valley_of_the_dead	A level right below the castle, acting as a gateway between Dungeons of Doom and Gehennom. Note: the Valley of the Dead is included in Gehennom. This means don't pray in it!

Jmadman311	valley_of_the_dead	There will always be an unaligned altar to Moloch and a priest(ess) of Moloch on the left edge of the map.  This altar can be used to determine B/U/C status of items and gold can be donated to the priest for protection/clairvoyance/etc. without any penalties.

dtype	vibrating_square	A single square on the bottom (before the invocation) level of Gehennom, which gives a message about a strange vibration. You cannot dig down from this level. 
dtype	vibrating_square	On this square you must light up, ring up, and read Rodney's book in order to open a stairwell to Moloch's sanctum, the home of the Amulet.
greycat	vibrating_square	As searching for this square can be quite time-consuming, it's recommended that you find the square (and mark it!) before you kill Rodney.  This saves you from having to deal with him during your search.
Zadir	vibrating_square	"It is in a corridor (not a wall), at least five squares from the side of the map, at least four squares from the top or bottom of the map, not within a circle of eleven squares radius around the upstair, not in a straight line with the upstair, and not on the same square as a trap." (http://www.spod-central.org/~psmith/nh/gazetteer/vs.html)
Patashu	vibrating_square	If you're having trouble, try this; drop 1 gold piece on every square the vibrating square is NOT on. It will never move so by deduction you will eventually find it.
nooodl	vibrating_square	The vibrating square level is somewhere on Dlvls 44 to 52.
paxed	potion_of_oil	You can apply a potion of oil to light it.  Throw a lit potion to cause a small fireball.

Arthur`	potion_of_oil	"This tastes like castor oil!" The potion was cursed, and you've just abused wisdom
scorchgeek	polyself	Polymorphing yourself is a somewhat rare but fairly useful tactic. To use polyself effectively, you need a source of polymorph (wand, ring, spell), and a ring of polymorph control. (You can gain control as an intrinsic by eating the ring, in some cases.)
scorchgeek	polyself	Good all-around choices (all of which can wield weapons and wear armor), include arch-lich (poor touch attack, but has regeneration and is strong), master mind flayer (flies, eats brains for loads of damage), vampire lord (flies and has regeneration, and can drain levels), Aleax (gets two weapon attacks).
scorchgeek	polyself	Air elementals make you extremely fast, but are otherwise poor forms; titans are both fairly fast and good fighters, but destroy armor.
scorchgeek	polyself	Xorns can eat metal, allowing you to gain some ring properties as intrinsics; they can also phase through walls, making it a popular choice for finishing the rogue quest. Gelatinous cubes can eat wooden rings. Both will break armor.
scorchgeek	polyself	Female dragons can lay eggs, making it easy to gain new pets, and black dragons have a powerful disintegration breath (#monster), that instakills every monster in the game that it hits besides the Riders and black dragons. Note that dragons will break your armor.
scorchgeek	polyself	You can also polymorph yourself into your own race; this also happens 1/5 of the time even with polymorph control, and will change your attributes randomly and cure a variety of ailments. Polymorphing into your own race does not break polyselfless conduct.
scorchgeek	polyself	If your hp drops below positive while in a polymorphed form, you will revert to your normal form. However, if you are wearing an amulet of unchanging you will die instead. Note that deaths other than losing HP will also still kill you.
scorchgeek	polyself	Attributes are saved when you polymorph, and return to their original values when you revert (except wisdom).
scorchgeek	polyself	See 'edible rings' for a list of edible rings.  See 'eating amulets' for information about eating amulets.

runcible	shatters_from_the_force_of_your_blow	You may sometimes shatter your opponent's weapon if you are wielding a two-handed weapon, or are a Samurai wielding a katana with nothing in your off-hand. Your skill with your weapon must be skilled or better. The chance depends upon your weapon's erosion and the ability of your opponent's weapon to resist; it is about 2.5% under the best circumstances. This attack also causes the monster to flee for 2d3 (more) turns.
Thvor	wand_store	Wand stores are run by shopkeepers named: Yr Wyddgrug, Trallwng, Mallwyd, Pontarfynach, Rhaeader, Llandrindod, Llanfair-ym-muallt, Y-Fenni, Maesteg, Rhydaman, Beddgelert, Curig, Llanrwst, Llanerchymedd, Caergybi, Nairn, Turriff, Inverurie, Braemar, Lochnagar, Kerloch, Beinn a Ghlo, Drumnadrochit, Morven, Uist, Storr, Sgurr na Ciche, Cannich, Gairloch, Kyleakin, and Dunvegan.
joshk	rustproof	To rustproof your armor, read an uncursed/blessed enchant armor while confused, and a random piece of armor will be rustproofed. Take off everything else! A cursed destroy armor while confused works as well.

dtype	grease	Greased metal items are unlikely to rust, greased helms help prevent mind flayer attacks, and greased sacks are good for waterproofing against items inside. Just (a)pply grease to items to slather it on.
dasunt	grease	A greased robe, cloak, or wrapping prevents an eel's grabbing attack (can be worn off), and if you aren't wearing one of those, greased armor will do the same.
jilles	grease	After it has protected an item, the grease may wear off. (1/3 chance)
itsblah	grease	Grease is not always effective when used on cursed armor, and may not help to stop grabbing attacks, prevent flayings, or stop erosion.
itsblah	grease	Grease can cause items to slip when thrown, and allows you to kick the item farther than it normally can go (1-3 squares)
Stevie[FP]	grease	Avoid greasing items while standing on the downstairs, because if the grease is cursed, it will get on your fingers and cause you to drop your weapon.
Cyde	grease	Even if a piece of armor is already rustproof, if you tangle with a rust monster the grease will dissolve.  This applies to other corrosive attacks.  So always check to make sure that the layer of grease is intact.
Stevie[FP]	grease	You can also use a noncursed can of grease to untrap a squeaky board.

greycat	monk	The Monk is a mystic warrior who can cast a few spells.  They require a unique playing style, focusing on martial arts (weaponless combat, in which they can achieve Grand Mastery) and no body armor.  They also suffer an alignment penalty if they eat meat.
greycat	monk	To compensate for the penalties, they also gain a huge number of intrinsics as they gain experience levels.  They start with speed, sleep resistance, and see invis.  They gain poison resistance, stealth, warning, searching, fire/cold/shock resistance, and teleport control by level 17. Also, they exercise wisdom while weak.
paxed	monk	Monk rank titles: Candidate (xplvl 1-2), Novice (3-5), Initiate (6-9), Student of Stones (10-13), Student of Waters (14-17), Student of Metals (18-21), Student of Winds (22-25), Student of Fire (26-29), Master (30)

rawrmage	#*:!attack	see {#nethack:!attack}
paxed	gray_stone	One of luckstone, loadstone, touchstone or flint.
greycat	gray_stone	Try kicking it while it's on the ground; if it's loadstone, it won't move (Thump!).  Then pick it up and try to apply it to a iron object; if it goes "scritch, scritch", it's a touchstone.  Otherwise, it's either flint or luck.
glimz	gray_stone	If you are VERY strong and have kicking boots you may succeed in kicking a loadstone a small distance.
jilles	gray_stone	Samurai and Monks may be able to kick a loadstone without kicking boots.
tsuteiuQ	gray_stone	If you kick a gray stone in a corner (i.e. against a wall), it will ALWAYS go "Thump!", so either dig away the wall behind it or teleport it somewhere else.
Stevie	gray_stone	If you see a gray stone in a shop that costs 1, it's either a loadstone or a flint stone.
SpeedEvil	gray_stone	A luckstone cannot be *individually* named "Heart of Ahriman"; your hand will slip. That use of #name is a bug, so some players may say it is cheating.
BenUrban	gray_stone	Luckstones have a base price of 60 zm; touchstones, 45 zm; flint and loadstones have a base price of 1 zm.

tsuteiuQ	brown_pudding	Their attack will rot any 'organic' armor you are wearing (i.e. anything leather or cloth or wood), and attacking one with anything made of iron will cause it to split in half.
tsuteiuQ	brown_pudding	Unlike their black cousins, brown puddings do ZERO damage when they bite, making them an optimal choice for pudding farming with a poor AC. (see 'pudding farming').
tsuteiuQ	brown_pudding	Eating a brown pudding corpse may grant you cold resistance, poison resistance, or shock resistance, but its corpse is acidic!
Stevie	brown_pudding	Level 5, speed 3, AC 8. 11% chance of cold resistance, 11% of poison resistance, 11% of shock resistance and 67% of nothing.
Zeffrin	brown_pudding	Eaten: brown pudding   Nutr: 250 V   Effects: Acidic     Intrinsic: Cold: 11%, Shock: 11%, Poison: 11%

Nodey	microscopic_space_fleet	From Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (both book and game), in which aliens invaded earth, but due to a discrepency in size, the fleet was eaten by a small dog.
Nodey	microscopic_space_fleet	Appears as a hallucinated monster in NetHack. Also referenced to in the Infocom game, the packaging of which included an official copy [ http://infocom.elsewhere.org/gallery/hhgttg/space-fleet.jpg ].
Mucknert	tinning_kit	Tinning kits make tins, out of monster corpses (usually on the ground).  Blessed tinning kits make blessed tins.
Mucknert	tinning_kit	You are not able to tin the the corpses of wraiths.
paxed	tinning_kit	Tinning makes poisonous and tainted corpses, such as zombies, safe to eat, to the extent that the b/u/c of the tin would indicate.
CydeWeys	tinning_kit	Weighs 100.
nesta	tinning_kit	Tins have the same chance of giving an intrinsic as the equivalent corpse
Zauren	tinning_kit	Blessed tins open in one round without a tool, by the way.
Dentarthur	teleport_away	Level 6 escape spell, 600z, works like a wand of teleportation.  You can also ^T to cast this spell at yourself.

Gaulgath	pun	NetHack is filled with puns. Such as going over a sink while wearing levitation boots. You will "SINK" to the ground.
Eidolos	dangerous_winds	To get killed by "dangerous winds", you must be wearing a ring of levitation, fall into a pit in Sokoban, and remove the ring of levitation; you will take d2 damage from having the winds causing you to fall over.
_AtH	stiffen_briefly	"You stiffen briefly."  Cleric casts Paralyze on you, but you resist because of free action or magic resistance.  You are frozen for one turn.
dtype	gentoo	An otherwise good compile-from-source distribution that, in its nethack package, fails to create the necessary /var/games/nethack/save directory. Someone really should file this as a bug.
Shachaf	gentoo	To compile the non-graphical version of nethack, add "games-roguelike/nethack -X" to /etc/portage/package.use.

Dentarthurdent_	you_feel_weaker	You just lost some Strength due to a monster's poisonous attack.
Dentarthurdent_	you_feel_weaker	You can restore the lost Str points by applying a non-cursed unicorn horn (may take several tries); quaffing a potion of restore ability (sometimes if uncursed, always if blessed); casting a spell of restore ability (best if Skilled or Expert, otherwise it may take several tries); or praying (especially if Overtaxed or worse).
Stevie[FP]	hooa	see {Helm of Opposite Alignment}
Eidolos	medusa_farming	A very quick way to get a lot of points. Eidolos has farmed Medusa with just pasting for a billion points in two and a half hours.
Eidolos	medusa_farming	You let Medusa stone herself with reflection, then cast stone to flesh, wait, repeat. Very easily bottable if you can prevent other monsters from ambling over.
Eidolos	medusa_farming	Each Medusa kill gives approximately 2724 points. This means 368 kills nets you a million points.
workimer	medusa_farming	When done farming Medusa, do not forget the basics of how to ascend.  (see !hsn eidolos for details [addendum by Eidolos: it was a damn polypiling accident!])

greycat	mosquitoes	"You hear mosquitoes!" means you're on a muddy-water level.  Watch out for pools of water and eels.
paxed	mail	Configuration option.  Enable mail delivery during the game.
Eidolos	mail	If you're watching someone on NAO, you can send them mail by hitting m. This requires that you log in, though.
Eidolos	mail	If someone receives multiple scrolls of mail, it will list all of the messages on the first read. The rest will be all gibberish.
paxed	g	Command: 'g'  Run in direction until something interesting is seen.
paxed	g	Command: 'G'  Run in direction until something interesting is seen, except branching corridors aren't considered interesting.
dasunt	g	Monster: 'g'  Gremlins and (winged) gargoyles.
dasunt	g	Monster: 'G'  Gnoses, er, gnomes.  In addition to the regular 'gnome', there are gnome lords, wizards, and kings.
Mucknert	poison_resistance	To avoid an annoying kind of insta-death, you should get this one as soon as possible. The safe ways are playing an orc, barbarian, healer, monk from XL 3, tourist from XL 20, or by eating one of the corpses listed below (eater beware: some may be unsafe to eat for other reasons).
itsblah	poison_resistance	Other safe ways include crowning, wearing a ring of poison resistance, amulet versus poison, an alchemy smock, green dragon scale (mail), or by polymorphing into the many monsters that have poison resistance.
Eidolos	poison_resistance	Non-poisonous corpses that can give PR: Master Kaen 100%, nurse 73%, golden naga 67%, black naga 53%, cockatrice 33%, quivering blob 33%, chickatrice 27%, unicorn 27%, Wizard of Yendor 25%, black pudding 22%, black|golden|guardian naga hatchling 20%, pyrolisk 20%, quasit 20%, red naga 20%, shrieker 20%, violet fungus 20%

Eidolos	deathrobin	The goal of DeathRobin is to get as many unique deaths as possible. DeathRobin has some unique NAO deaths (like "killed by dangerous winds" and "killed by leg damage from being pulled out of a bear trap").
Eidolos	deathrobin	As usual with the robins, the password is "robin". If there's a game in progress, please don't screw it up (for suitable values of "screw it up", obviously).
SpeedEvil	deathrobin	Please name a weapon or something with what death you're going for if you leave it.
Tjr	deathrobin	No player has these helpless messages yet: being scared stiff (falling Magicbane), gazing into a mirror (floating eye polyself), pretending to be a pile of gold (eat mimic), scared by rattling (chat skeleton), ringing a bell (it must be cursed and summon a nymph for a chance at this).
dasunt	cornuthaum	Its unidentified appearance is 'conical hat', which it shares with the dunce cap.  When worn by wizards, it results in clairvoyance and +1 to charisma.  When worn by non-wizards, it blocks clairvoyance and drops charisma by 1.
jilles	cornuthaum	Cornuthaums can be enchanted at +5 or below by wizards without being vaporized. Thus its maximum safe enchantment is +7. It weighs 4 and costs 80. It also provides MC2, even if you are not a wizard.
_bryce	cornuthaum	Apparently, the name "Cornuthaum" for a wizard's pointy hat was made up by the developers, as the word does not appear in the (large, multivolume) Oxford English Dictionary. It is apparently derived from the prefix "cornu-", meaning a horn, and the same "thaum" as is found in "thaumaturgy" and is of Greek origin. (In short, "cornuthaum" means "miracle horn".) Thus, it is likely pronounced "kor-nuu-thoum"

Special level messages include the tones of courtly conversation, a sceptre pounded in judgment and someone shouting "Off with his/her head!"  The placed monsters are (in order of difficulty, determined by level depth): Dragons, Giants, Trolls, Centaurs, Orcs, bugbears, hobgoblins, Gnomes or Kobolds.
aero2600	throne_room	Sounds that may indicate a throne room on the level include "You hear the tones of courtly conversation.", "You hear a sceptre pounded in judgment.", "Someone shouts "Off with <his/her> head!", "You hear Queen Beruthiel's cats!" (hallucinating).
nooodl	throne_room	Frequency: 1/6, DL 5+.
ekiM	boulder	A dungeon feature, blocking your way. An integral part of the "rolling boulder" trap. Can be pushed around if there's nothing behind it, exercising strength. You can slip past one if you have very little in inventory. Can also be destroyed with a force bolt spell, wand of striking, or pickaxe, yielding a pile of rocks.
ekiM	boulder	Configuration option.  Set the character used to display boulders.  Set this to 0, for example, when doing sokoban.
Snipufin	boulder	Boulders are so heavy, that only H are capable of lifting them.
browncustard	boulder	If you push a boulder onto the stairs and throw objects, except for rocks, such that they land on its square (e.g. gold), the boulder will eventually fall down (3% chance per object). This can occasionally be useful.
browncustard	boulder	Wishing for a boulder while standing on the downstairs may also cause it to fall.

michagogo	80_zm_scroll	Enchant armor or remove curse
paxed	spellbook	Symbol '+', each spellbook has one spell in it.  You can read the spell, and you memorize it for 20k turns, barring memory loss.  Spellbooks fade after the 3rd reading.
joshk	spellbook	If you do forget spells, they'll either give you Conf or Stun status ailments. Use wisely with scrolls of enchantment. ;)
paxed	spellbook	The base price of a spellbook is 100*level of spell.
Stevie	spellbook	Failure to learn the spell often comes with a nasty backfire, causing you to suddenly teleport and/or be paralyzed for many turns. High-level spellbooks can wake monsters (level 2), blind you (level 3), disintegrate your gold (4), confuse you (5), poison you (6), or explode (7). Books that don't explode often disintegrate afterwards.
Stevie	spellbook	Cursed spellbooks ALWAYS fail, while blessed spellbooks NEVER fail. No exceptions. (On a related note, spellbook gifts from prayer are always blessed.)
HanClinto	spellbook	The failure rate is 1 - ((INT + 4 + (experience_level/2) - (2 * spellbook_level)) / 20) where the 4 is 6 when wearing lenses. Reading capability based on WIS is merely a rumor.

joshk	master_kaen	Master Kaen is the Monk quest nemesis. He's extremely tough, hits HARD, and you won't even see him once you reach his level until he starts whacking you.
jilles	master_kaen	To beat him "straight", have at least about 300 hp, good ac and a good weapon.
jilles	master_kaen	Levitating or walking over the lava may be useful.
jilles	master_kaen	Spells or wands of sleep may be effective, but they will often miss or Master Kaen will resist them (due to his -11 or -12 AC).
jilles	master_kaen	If you're not wearing body armor and have free action, hitting him with a potion of paralysis may be a good idea.
SpeedEvil	master_kaen	Drain life works surprisingly well. You need not stand on the stairs up for this spell to kill him. It's better to stand on the downstair so you can temporarily flee. Engrave Elbereth on the other side of the stairs so you can heal without molestation by xorns or earth elementals.
Eidolos	master_kaen	Rast recommends (and Eidolos approves of) using a scroll of earth in addition to the drain life technique.
Mumbo	master_kaen	Fireball and Cone of Cold also work wonders, but boulder fort will still be useful to keep Kaen away from you and prevent fireball from hitting you if you care.
runcible	master_kaen	A boulder fort in his lair is the easiest/safest method; upon arrival in his level burn E, do something to wake him up (zapping a wand of light [can confirm this will always awaken him], tin whistle, possibly other wands), he will port over, read blessed or uncursed earth and next turn he will pop outside the fort.
runcible	master_kaen	This will expose you to at most one turn in melee distance.  Often he'll port over and drink a potion or other silliness.  From inside the fort you can use anything that doesn't need to go through MR to kill him (drain life, cold, fire, throwing rocks, etc).
scorchgeek	master_kaen	Another method is to polymorph yourself into a black dragon and #monster to disintegrate him. Contrary to popular belief, this will not destroy the Eyes of the Overworld.

If uncursed, there is no effect beyond a random message.  If cursed, corpses in your inventory will be revived, eggs will be rejuvenated, and some undead will be summoned.

tsuteiuQ	black_pudding	Their bite will corrode any iron or bronze armor you are wearing, and they also corrode iron weapons used to attack them. Attacking a black pudding in melee with iron will split it into two puddings, if its hp is at least 2.
tsuteiuQ	black_pudding	These are significantly more dangerous than brown puddings, as they have twice as many hitpoints and do 3d8 damage per attack (while brown puddings do not inflict any damage). However, a sufficiently low armor class makes black pudding farming a safe and profitable activity (see 'pudding farming'); plus, they're a lot easier to create than brown puddings.
tsuteiuQ	black_pudding	Eating a black pudding corpse may grant you cold resistance, poison resistance, or shock resistance.

dasunt	rider	You'll see the first three riders on the astral plane. Death drains hps, Famine makes you hungry, Pestilence makes you sick. All three are & symbols, all are resistant to almost everything, and eating their corpses is instantly fatal. The fourth rider is not as obvious, but if you look at the source, chat with one of the riders, or try to tin one of the riders, you'll figure it out. (Big hint: He or she's shown by a @)
greycat	rider	The three riders have no distance attacks, but are quite potent in melee.  They are best killed with magic missiles, or thrown/fired traditional missiles, or wand/finger of death (except for Death).

_AtH	eating_pet	There is nothing special about eating a corpse of your pet.  Eating d and f can give you aggravate monster intrinsic as usual corpses do.
BlastHardcheese	eating_pet	However, sacrificing the corpse of a pet that died while tame will anger your god.
dtype	homunculus	Attempted pluralization is futile. The homunculus corpse is poisonous, but the animal itself isn't terribly difficult to kill even for early adventurers.
paxed	homunculus	It's "Homunculi", they are minor demons and have a bite that can put you to sleep.
itsblah	homunculus	Has a very small chance of giving poison resistance and a very small chance of giving sleep resistance.
mddd	homunculus	It is ITSELF poisonous though so it's a pretty awful way to pick it up unless you have extrinsic poison resistance.
Zeffrin	homunculus	Eaten: homunculus   Nutr: 100   Effects: Poisonous     Intrinsic: Sleep: 7%, Poison: 7%

greycat	unicorn_horn	The horn of the unicorn is an effective remedy for a wide variety of ailments, including food poisoning, blindness, confusion, stunning, hallucination, illness, and reduced statistics.  A blessed one is more efficient (which is important when haste is of utmost importance). Enchantment gives no bonus.
n1ffo	unicorn_horn	The unicorn horn has a natural +1 to-hit when used as a weapon, and does d12 damage to both small and large creatures. Unfortunately it's a two-handed weapon.
dasunt	unicorn_horn	Good polypile fodder, since it is relatively common and is a 'magical tool'.
greycat	unicorn_horn	A cursed unicorn horn will inflict a malady upon you (including possibly confusion); If you use it to confuse yourself, just be sure you have a non-cursed one handy to cure deadly ailments.
Eidolos	unicorn_horn	Dipping a unicorn horn into a potion of blindness, confusion, or hallucination will make the potion into uncursed water. Dipping a horn into sickness will make fruit juice (cursed if the horn is cursed).

firippu	gas_spore	When this monster dies (if you or another monster kills it) it generates a 3x3 explosion.  If you are the perp, it angers peaceful monsters.

Cyde	magic_trap	9/20: "You are momentarily blinded by a flash of light!" (If already blind, "You hear a deafening roar!"; if blinding resistant (Sunsword, poly), "You see a flash of light!".) Blinds for 9+d5 turns, creates d4 monsters around you.
Cyde	magic_trap	1/20: Same as fire trap ("A tower of flame erupts from the floor!". If not fire resistant, lose 2d4 HP, max HP is reduced by a number between 0 and the HP you lost.  Chance of armour being damaged and flammables in inventory being burnt/boiled.)
Cyde	magic_trap	1/20: "You feel charismatic!" Gain 1 CHA, and tame the monsters immediately around you, and this form of taming can't be resisted.
Cyde	magic_trap	1/20: "You feel like someone is helping you." (If hallucinating, "You feel in touch with the Universal Oneness.") Acts as uncursed scroll of remove curse; uncurse loadstones, worn and wielded items. Remove ball and chain if being punished.
Cyde	magic_trap	2/20: Nothing happens, and does it quietly.
Cyde	magic_trap	6/20: Nothing happens, and any of a number of random messages may be displayed.

Eidolos	ipbt	A "high-tech ttyrec player"; ipbt allows you to rewind, and go directly to specific frames, and so on.
Eidolos	ipbt	Only downside is ipbt requires a lot of preprocessing time for a ttyrec, so it's handy to keep an ordinary ttyrec player (like jilles' playttyrec) around as well.

valcaron	leash	You may leash your pet and it will attack co-aligned creatures without those creatures turning against you.

rebo123	leash	Note that this will never reduce the tameness below 1, so choking a pet with a cursed leash will never make it go wild. Unbreathing pets will not take damage, but still suffer the tameness penalty.
joshk	ochre_jelly	You are splashed by the ochre jelly's acid! Watch out! It can really hurt you, so try to attack it from a distance. It can also engulf you once in a while

SpeedEvil	scroll_of_taming	"Natural" pets (horses, dogs, and cats) are initially tamed with a tameness of 10; other creatures start with a tameness of 5. This is important to note, for creatures that don't eat.
stumbly	scroll_of_taming	Scrolls of taming operate with an effective level of 9, as opposed to spells of charm monster which use actual player level.  d(100 + (level) - (monster level)) is compared to monster MR to determine success.

ylmson	you_feel_vaguely_nervous	see {vaguely_nervous}
scorchgeek	engrave_wresting	A technique to wrest the last charge out of a wand of wishing. It is better than simply zapping it normally because it uses no time on the clock.
scorchgeek	engrave_wresting	Simply attempt to engrave with the wand, and cancel if you don't wrest the wish. Lather, rinse, repeat.
scorchgeek	engrave_wresting	This process can be accelerated by levitating, #adjusting the wand to E, and holding down the E key--that way, you don't have to cancel if the wand doesn't wrest, you just get "You can't reach the floor!" This is sometimes known as "levitation wresting".
scorchgeek	engrave_wresting	Note that this is bug C343-246, "Engraving with an empty wand handles time wrong," and is marked as fixed in next release. For this reason, some players consider this trick to be abusive.
paxed	war	"Who do you think you are, War?"
dasunt	war	"Yes... But War does not preserve its enemies..."

paxed	castle	This is the lowest level of the dungeons of doom, located between the 25th and 29th levels.
paxed	castle	The level is no-teleport, and cannot leave bones. It counts as a graveyard level.
paxed	castle	Do *not* fill all the trapdoors on this level, because you need to get deeper, and you cannot dig holes in the floor. If you do fill the holes by mistake, you can still levport down from the castle to get below.
Zadir	castle	If you have any musical instrument, you can play a little game of "mastermind" to open the drawbridge. Stand next to the moat and align yourself with the drawbridge, then (a)pply the instrument and choose (n) for improvisation. You'll be prompted to enter a 5 letter combination (A-G), and for every right letter in the wrong space, you hear a tumbler click, and for every right letter in the right space, a gear turns.
aristotle73	castle	Do not fight while standing on the drawbridge.  It is possible for the drawbridge to be destroyed and cause instant death to the player. Casting force bolt while standing on the drawbridge destroys it.
SpeedEvil	castle	A simple tune strategy is to try aaaaa, bbbbb, ... ggggg - and write down the number of gears per note. You now know how many of each note is in the tune.
SpeedEvil	castle	Now - for each position, try playing each note in turn that it could be, padding the rest with x - till you get gears grinding indicating you've found that note.
SpeedEvil	castle	repeat for each position - only trying notes that you have not eliminated.
SpeedEvil	castle	This is not optimal - but will lead to the right tune in at most 26 moves
Calamarain	castle	In one corner of the castle, there is a chest containing a wand of wishing. The four storerooms contain armour, weapons, gems and food. Check the armour/weapons before wishing - you might find what you need in there and save a wish.
ekiM	alignment_myths	Killing a peaceful in one turn DOES NOT incur special penalty. that's killing them without ANGERING them, something different. --- Chaotics killing an always-peaceful (shk,watch,priest) still get at least -16 alignment from it.

threeletter	magic_bane	If Magicbane were intelligent, it would be insulted.
dasunt	pestilence	Nasty fellow that's found on the astral plane.  Attack makes you sick.  Resistant to almost everything, but he is vulnerable to death rays, so make sure you're packing heat.
Eidolos	pestilence	His attack can also stun you, and does quite a lot of damage. In many minds, the baddest of the three Riders.
PsyMar	pestilence	Alternatively, just have a couple good melee weapons, and you may take him out in one or two rounds, as he has rather low HP.  You should still have a blessed unicorn horn, though.
lorimer	pestilence	Consider killing Pestilence _before_ curing yourself with the horn, as he can just keep making you ill and doing damage at the same time.  The sickness won't kill you instantly, so you've got some room to work.

Patashu	while_helpless	A catch-all suffix for death messages, encapsulating a number of situations under which you can not take a turn. It does NOT include things that prevent movement but not turn taking, e.g. bear traps.

ais523	monster_alignment	For coaligned monsters when none of the above conditions apply: there's a 1 in (alignment+15) chance, and an independent 1 in (2+monster alignment) chance, that they're hostile, otherwise peaceful.

AceSevenFive	scroll_of_wishing	Slash'EM Extended item. Allows you to wish for an item.
lorimer	+2_or_+3	The short answer: It depends.  You have 60% chance of getting +3, and 80% chance of getting +2.
lorimer	+2_or_+3	If you are wishing for something where the special properties of the item itself are worth more than the + (silver or grey dragon scale mail, for example), then go with +3.
lorimer	+2_or_+3	If you are wishing for something where the + is the whole point of the thing (gauntlets of dexterity or a helm of brilliance), you should go with +2.
lorimer	+2_or_+3	The pure math says that +3 will come out slightly ahead in the long run, but there is no "long run" in NetHack, just a series of individual events.  Beyond this, you must make your own decision.
lorimer	assbanes	All the artifact weapons that god may throw at your feet that, due to only doing double damage against a specific, small class of monsters, are next to worthless

Stevie[FP]	warhorse	To top it all off, they're herbivores, so they won't eat most corpses that grant intrinsics.
Stevie[FP]	warhorse	(The downside to this is, they tend to have very low tameness, so if you leave them stranded on another level, they become untame and usually end up hostile when you return.)
Zeffrin	warhorse	Eaten: warhorse   Nutr: 350

SpeedEvil	nutrition	Normally you use a unit every turn, some things use more. Each worn ring or amulet, or carrying the AoY uses an extra unit per 20 turns. Having the hunger, conflict or regeneration intrinsic (unless regeneration/conflict is from an artefact), being Stressed or worse, use one unit each every 2 turns.
SpeedEvil	nutrition	If you begin eating anything unsatiated, you are guaranteed to be able to finish it without choking, even if this takes you beyond 2000 nutrition. Eating anything at all in the meantime means you may choke.
SpeedEvil	nutrition	If you are unbreathing (amulet of magical breathing, or in a non-breathing form) choking will just make you vomit. Otherwise you have a 1/20 chance of vomiting anyway—else you die (AoLS will save you). Choking will happen if you eat anything while your nutrition is over 2000.
SpeedEvil	nutrition	A ring of slow digestion eliminates normal food usage (but still causes ring hunger), so you use food at 1/20 the normal rate wearing only =SD. Sleeping reduces normal food usage to about 1/10th of its normal value.

CaptainFwiffo	you_are_slowing_down	You are turning to stone because of an encounter with a cockatrice or chickatrice.  You've got very little time to stop the stoning process.
CaptainFwiffo	you_are_slowing_down	A spell of stone-to-flesh is the most straightforward cure.  Short of that, the most popular remedy is a lizard corpse.  A potion of acid, any acidic monster corpse, or blessed tin of an acidic monster will also work.  The tin must be blessed - non-blessed tins take too long to open without tin opener, and you don't have enough time to wield one.
CaptainFwiffo	you_are_slowing_down	If you have a chance of running into a cockatrice or chickatrice, you should carry one of these cures in your main inventory.  You probably won't have time to get it out of your bag.
CaptainFwiffo	you_are_slowing_down	Suitable corpses or tins include acid blobs, baby and adult yellow dragons, black nagas, black naga hatchlings, black and brown puddings, gelatinous cubes, gray oozes, green molds, green slimes, ochre jellies and spotted jellies.  Eating a green slime or tin of green slime creates a whole new problem, but will indeed cure stoning and buy you a few turns.
CaptainFwiffo	you_are_slowing_down	Several of these represent vegan or vegetarian alternatives to lizard corpses.
billnye	you_are_slowing_down	See {new_moon} for a reason why you might want to keep a lizard corpse in your inventory when the moon is new.

mathx	you_are_slowing_down	Eating a partly eaten corpse of anything that stops stoning will work just as well. You may be interrupted eating your lizard corpse the first time; it's still good for another limbering.
SpeedEvil	fog_cloud	A cloud. Engulfs you, and can occasionally kill a level 1 char, if they don't fight back. Handy place to rest from higher level monsters.

chlorine	engrave_testing	If you get the message "The engraving on the floor vanishes!", the wand is either make invisible, teleportation, or cancellation. You can further ID by zapping an item and a monster. If nothing appears to happen, it's canc. If both disappear, it's tele. Otherwise, the monster will disappear (or fade), so it's make invis.
nornagon	engrave_testing	A wand of cold will erase an existing burned-in engraving ("The engraving on the floor vanishes!"), then "A few ice cubes drop from the wand"
nornagon	engrave_testing	If the engraving changes substantially (it'll be obvious), then the wand is polymorph. "The bugs on the floor speed up!" means you have a wand of speed monster.
nornagon	engrave_testing	If the wand "unsuccessfully fights your attempt to write", that's a wand of striking you're packing. This is a pun on the word "striking". The message is used in the sense of "I'm going on strike." A wand of magic missile will make the floor "riddled by bullet holes!"
nornagon	engrave_testing	Engraving with a wand of wishing, light, enlightenment or create monster will auto-identify and have the same effect as zapping the wand.
nornagon	engrave_testing	If you get no message, See {e_nomsg} for your options
nornagon	engrave_testing	One can also tell if a gem is hard or soft by engraving with it. Be careful, engraving with a gem takes a long time - 1 letter per turn!
nornagon	engrave_testing	Hard gems are always valuable (good for throwing to unicorns), while soft gems can be either. Remember, shopkeepers won't pay you full price for unid'd gems, even if you know they're valuable!
Eidolos	engrave_testing	In the off chance you're playing illiterate, you can still engrave test -- but only engrave a single 'x' or 'X'.
Eidolos	engrave_testing	Wands of digging, fire, and lightning will autoid before you write with the wand. You'll probably want to write Elbereth, especially if the wand is fire or lightning.

dtype	nurse	In a practice known as 'nurse dancing', players reverse genocide nurses (often in sokoban), strip of armor and weapons, and stand still getting healed by nurses to increase max hit points.
_Q	nurse	On each nurse heal, there is a 1/7 chance of point of maxhp, given your current maxhp < (5*clvl + [2*clvl]d10), which means only 50% efficiency at 450hp at clvl 30, deteriorating fast. Regardless of that check, there is then a 1/13 chance of the nurse teleporting away.
SpeedEvil	nurse	Eating nurse meat heals you to maximum hit points and has about a 73% chance of giving poison resistance.
PsyMar	nurse	Nurses will not hurt healers with weapons or armor, but will not heal them either unless they strip.  (line 1422, mhitu.c)

Jafet	mjollnir	If you use Mjollnir, expect to collect fewer wands and rings from your vanquished opponents.
Arthur_	mjollnir	Mojo (as it's often called) can be thrown at monsters if you have Strength of 25 (gauntlets of power). In addition, if you're a Valkyrie, it has a 99% chance of returning to your hand afterward. If it doesn't return, there is a 0.5% chance it will land at your feet, and a 0.5% chance it will hit you!

Nodey	arch-lichen	Arch-lichens are small creatures, very fast, and can do up to 6x9d12 with their numerous touches of death. They are not genocidable, do not respect Elbereth, and cannot be shielded from by #praying invulnerability. Attempting to eat the corpse of an Arch-lichen will cause the server to seek the nearest bones file and polymorph you indefinitely into that individual.
Nodey	arch-lichen	They have AC -78, MR100, and have intrinsic reflection. They are capable of casting the Groping of Death. When not Groping, its attacks brings swift retribution unmatched by even the Riders. Along with disenchantment ability, arch-lichens are THE most formidable monsters in the NetHack bestiary.
lament	arch-lichen	Arch-lichens multiply when hit by any weapon or beam, with the new lichen having twice the HP of the old one. They are also capable of summoning demons and insects. They will teleport next to you, even from a different dungeon level, including ones you haven't visited, when the time is "appropriate".
Nodey	arch-lichen	Arch-lichens, or Fwagglebrapo in Quenya, are a deadly race of...  things. They were first fwapped into creation by the omnipotent RNG for the sole purpose of executing overtly lucky adventurers. In Its omnipotence, however, the RNG discovered that he had made a creature that even He cannot kill. Naturally, it follows that no divine intervention can protect an adventurer from the wrath of an arch-lichen.
Nodey	arch-lichen	Really bad and rudimentary patch by Nodey at http://sfcalc.sourceforge.net/nethack-3.4.3-arch-lichen.diff ; Windows console compiles for said patch http://sfcalc.sourceforge.net/nethack-3.4.3-arch-lichen.zip

Arthur_	drum	Both items cost 25 zorkmids, so price identification is not available to tell them apart. In addition a drum of earthquake with no charges behaves exactly like a leather drum.
Arthur`	artifacts	see {artifact}
I3rian	skill_slots	The number of slots required to attain levels of skill are: 1 for unskilled to basic, 2 for basic to skilled, and 3 for skilled to expert.
Duke-	skill_slots	For martial arts, bare-handed combat, and riding skills this is different: it takes 1 slot to advance unskilled to basic and basic to skilled, 2 for skilled to expert and expert to master, and 3 for master to grand master.

CronoCloud	menucolors	NetHack on NAO currently uses GNU regex, not POSIX.
CronoCloud	menucolors	Many players on NAO use Eidolos's menucolors settings, and he encourages others to use them, that's why he has version numbers and dates.  http://alt.org/nethack/userdata/Eidolos/Eidolos.nh343rc

CydeWeys	dragon_scale_mail	All dragon scale mails cost 900 except for black, silver, and gray, which cost 1200.

Zealot	excalibur	There is a 1/6 chance of your longsword being turned into Excalibur regardless of class, so if you're lawful, keep #dipping.

itsblah	excalibur	When your long sword is transformed into Excalibur, it is blessed, repaired of all damage, and rustproofed. It also keeps its enchantment.
CydeWeys	excalibur	Has +d5 to hit vs. a regular longsword and +d10 to damage.
Eidolos	excalibur	Don't dip for Excalibur in Minetown. It _will_ dry up the fountain which will annoy the guards (even if you're nonlawful). You get no trickle warning.
scorchgeek	excalibur	Also, don't try dipping a katana--only an actual longsword works. Dipping your katana will just happily summon water demons and grant you a thoroughly rusty katana.

joshk	mind_flayer	ACHTUNG! These fellows will easily lock on to you if you're near them and you are telepathic. When they strike, they will eat your brain. They strike several times in one turn, and when you get flayed you will forget random dungeon levels and item identifications permanently.
joshk	mind_flayer	Your helmet helps prevent flaying, especially if greased. Usually, you should polymorph these badass dudes, or have them get acquainted with a wand of death or a trice corpse.
joshk	mind_flayer	Eating their corpses may raise INT ("Yum! This is real brain food! You feel smart!")
Stevie	mind_flayer	Oh yeah, mind flayers are base level 9, speed 12, AC 5, MR 90, and have 3 brainsucking attacks; MMFs are base level 13, AC 0, and have 5 brainsucking attacks. Both can fly.
SpeedEvil	mind_flayer	They respect Elbereth, and if you find yourself next to one with no option, you can finger engrave Elbereth for 70% or better chance of survival.
_bryce	mind_flayer	By the time you run into them, you should have a unicorn horn. This will fix the int drain after the battle - but it won't help with forgotten items.
Calamarain	mind_flayer	In the words of Brave Sir Robin... "Run away! Run away!"
Zeffrin	mind_flayer	Eaten: mind flayer   Nutr: 400   Effects:   Intelligence: 50%   Intrinsic: Telepathy: (if no Intelligence gain)

SpeedEvil	fountain	Quaffing from most fountains will (9/30) do nothing or give you a little nutrition. It's less likely (1/30) to enlighten you, make you vomit, poison you,  curse some stuff, grant you see-invisible, detect monsters, create a gem, scare monsters, overflow to nearby squares, summon snakes, a nymph or a water demon. Water demons may grant a wish (see ?? water demon)
SpeedEvil	fountain	There is a 1/3 chance quaffing will dry up the fountain.
SpeedEvil	fountain	Dipping an item into the fountain has no effect most of the time, but will occasionally uncurse items (4/30), and 1/30 chance of most of the bad effects under quaffing.
SpeedEvil	fountain	1/7th of fountains are magic. Quaffing a magic fountain with positive luck has a 3/10 chance of refreshing you (small amount of nutrition) and a 7/10 chance of having the same effect as a blessed potion of restore ability and a uncursed potion of gain ability. (if luck >4, then a blessed potion of gain ability.) After this effect the fountain is now not magic.
SpeedEvil	fountain	Digging on a fountain square will cause the fountain to overflow, which makes pools of water up to several squares away, but never under you.  This can be a good way to get unlimited water with which to blank scrolls, dilute potions, or accidentally drown Izchak.  Don't do it in minetown.
marginoferror	fountain	Fountains in minetown will give you a warning before they're about to expire.  If you use them after that, the fountain will disappear and the watch will attack you.

GreyKnight	punishment	In vanilla, iron balls have an inventory category all to themselves (titled "Iron Balls", symbol "0")

SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	I could probably have got out of this - but I decided to skip it - and zapped /oDig downwards. This was a mistake. I fell two levels, found the upstairs, and emerged next to medusa. Fortunately, she was asleep. Unfortunately, I had no means of crossing water. Fortunately, a blindfold was one thing I had.
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	I put the blindfold on, and then stabbed her with a silver saber till she died. This was the medusa with the little fort over to the right, with the titan in it. I killed everything around the island that I could reach, and got screwed over majorly by disenchanters taking me to AC-8
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	I still had no means of crossing water - so I seized the opportunity of a pudding, to setup a small black pudding farm. I'd been at this some 5000 turns, when something woke the titan. Oops.
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	Of course, this rotted some of my armour, taking me to -5.
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	So, down I go into the mazes - boy are those fun with 85hp and -5AC, with only distance attack drain life. I scour the couple of levels down to the castle for any means of crossing water, magical instrument,
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	or means of breaking the drawbridge, with no luck, for another 5000 turns, before hitting the castle. Having no means of doing anything, I shot the waterlife with drain life in the hope that something random would generate while I was, but nothing, so I head back up.
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	I spend another 8000 turns or so - my drain life is about to time out - tooling around the couple of levels open to me, barely avoiding death, but getting small items that _may_ help me, till I finally find a /oDeath, with which to try to take back my farm with.
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	I head up, and see a green elf on telepathy, which is handy as my existing hat could do with replacing. I go over to get a new hat.
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	"You meet medusas gaze" --More-- "You turn to stone.".
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	I just sat there incredulous for quite a while. It wasn't the fact that I'd died. It wasn't even that it had taken so long. It was just that I was on the verge of being able to get back to my farm, and get some way to cross water, and proceed.
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	Of course, much later, I realise that she'd read a cursed scroll of teleport, while I was preoccupied with not dying to a black dragon, and I'd somehow missed her when going down.
SpeedEvil	speedevil's_ranger	I never dig down below level 17 or so now.

greycat	healer	The Healer is a very difficult class to play, since the gentle arts of medicine are not conducive to survival in the Dungeons of Doom.  Healers are neutral, and may achieve Expert skill in knives (but only Skilled in daggers), quarterstaves, darts and unicorn horns.
paxed	healer	Healers start out with poison resistance and a spellbook of stone to flesh, so starving is not a problem once you get to Exp:3.  They get intrinsic warning at Exp:15.
dasunt	healer	Stronger than a tourist in the early game, but their lack of #twoweapon skill makes them weaker in the mid and end game.
dasunt	healer	Healers will start out with 1001 to 2000 zorkmids, a scalpel, +1 leather gloves, 5 to 10 apples, wand of sleep, spellbooks of healing, extra healing and stone to flesh, a stethoscope, and a low (4%) chance of an oil lamp.

ekiM	confusion	Confusion is a status effect that affects your ability to move around and stops you doing many things. Not as bad as stunning, still a nuisance.

PsyMar	astral_plane	WARNING: Using the ; command to find an altar is an "aligned altar" does *not* mean it is the *same* alignment as you, just that it *has* an alignment (i.e. is not an altar to Moloch).  You must stand on the altar and press : to find out the alignment of the altar.  This is not a bug.
Nomi	you_have_a_strange_forbidding_feeling	Cross-aligned temple. If you convert the altar the priest will kill you. No exceptions.

Nodey	strength	Strength (St:) affects your fighting ability (to-hit and damage), carrying capacity, throwing/kicking distance, chances of opening doors, bashing doors or chests. It has a strange scale: 3-18, then 18/01-18/99, followed by 18/**, then 19-25 (gauntlets of power or str rings with 18/**).
Nodey	strength	Dwarves and humans can reach 18/** strength natively. Gnomes and orcs are capable of 18/50, and elves just 18. However, gauntlets of power can override these racial limitations.
Nodey	strength	To-hit bonus in the format of [Strength]=(bonus): [3-5]=(-2). [6-7]=(-1). [8-16]=(+0). [17-18/50]=(+1). [18/51-18/99]=(+2). [18/**-25]=(+3).
Nodey	strength	Damage bonus in the format of [Strength]=(bonus): [3-5]=(-1). [6-15]=(+0). [16-17]=(+1). [18]=(+2); [18/01-18/75]=(+3). [18/76-18/90]=(+4). [18/91-18/99]=(+5). [18/**-25]=(+6).
Nodey	strength	Carrying capacity = ([(Strength + Constitution)/2]+1)*50, capped at 1000.  Strength "carrying points" for this purpose are computed thus: 3-18, 22-25 counts as themselves.  18/01 - 18/31 counts as 19.  18/32 to 18/81 counts as 20.  18/82 to 21 counts as 21.
Nodey	strength	Raised (directly) by: quaffing potions of gain ability, eating royal jelly, giant corpses, tins of spinach (1 point each). Gauntlets of power (at any enchantment) directly raises strength to 25, past racial limitations.
Nodey	strength	Exercised by: attacking monsters; quaffing healing/extra healing; kicking doors; throwing iron balls or boulders; pushing boulders; failing to open doors; hit by nurse; "restored to health" after *cubus; enchant armor without armor; being "stressed" or "strained"; regenerating; hit by electricity or fire as iron golem.
Nodey	strength	Abused by: weak from hunger; kicking stairs, ladder, wall, space, trapped door, or when levitating; damaged by explosion; strangled, choked, crushed, digested, pummeled, damaged by acid; xan prick; *cubus exhaustion; break out of armor; destroy armor without armor; rock and pit traps; force-bolt or magic missile self; lose grip on iron ball; divided as pudding.
Nodey	strength	Strength is not exercised by being burdened, but by being stressed or higher.  This is generally a bad way to do it as ABUSES dexterity, and leads to much death.

dasunt	bot	Although other roguelikes have had bots that could play them (most famously, angband), nobody has managed to make a bot that can ascend in nethack yet.
Nodey	bot	However, many attempts have been made. Actively developed bots include Sartak et al's TAEB and canidae et al's saiph. See their respective Rodney entries for more details.
Nodey	bot	Most NetHack bots use the valkyrie role for its simplicity.

ledneh	flickers_for_a_moment,_then_dies	Assuming you just tried to (a)pply a lamp to turn it on, this probably means it's cursed. Cursed lamps have a chance to not activate.
ekiM	flickers_for_a_moment,_then_dies	On the plus side, if you were (a)pplying a lamp then it's somewhat likely to be magic! Now to find some holy water...
dasunt	eucalyptus_leaf	Eat to cure sickness or vomiting.  Apply for the same effect as a whistle.  When blessed and applied, the leaf will act as a magic whistle, and have a one in 49 chance of unblessing the leaf.

Grognor	eucalyptus_leaf	Considered vegan food. Weighs 1 and gives 30 nutrition.

itsblah	loadstone	If you end up with one, you can uncurse it to drop it. Beware, as it recurses when you get rid of it!
SpeedEvil	loadstone	A slightly odder way to remove it is to zap yourself with stone-to-flesh. Remove all other stone items from inventory first.
ekiM	pray_for_maxhp	When low HP is cured by prayer, not only are you restored to maximum HP, characters with low maximum HP (maxHP <= 5*(level+2)) will receive an additional 1d5 maximum HP at the end of the prayer. This can be useful for weedy characters in the early game to get their maximum HP up. Be careful though!
ekiM	pray_for_maxhp	For this to work, have your HP < = 5 (or < 1/7 max HP, rounded down), have prayer timeout of less than 200, have non-negative luck, unangry God, and have positive aligment. CPTVW start with 0 alignment so should whack a cross-aligned monster first. Everyone starts with 300 prayer timeout so wait until turn 102. Try throwing non-weapons in the air to get your HP down.
mathx	unable_to_swing_your_leg_over	You can't mount your pet diagonally through a doorway.
scwizard	silver_dagger	d4/d3 damage, +2 to hit, made out of silver. Very rare and only useful against vampires and demons (and marginal, even then).

dasunt	wooden_harp	Also known as the koto, wooden harps make nearby nymphs peaceful (if you have enough dexterity and experience) and exercise dexterity.
Arthur	wooden_harp	Nymphs will be made peaceful if you are not confused and your experience level + a random number between 0 and your dexterity is at least 26.
TjrWiz	wooden_harp	In short, they are only good for the drawbridge, and quite heavy for that (30 units, compared to 18 for a tooled horn or 10 for a bugle).

dasunt	eyes_of_the_overworld	The Eyes of the Overworld is the monk quest artifact. A pair of lenses that, if carried, provides magic resistance, and if worn, provides X-ray vision and prevents stunning by Archons' radiant gaze.  #invoke for enlightenment.  It's normally a neutral artifact, but will be adjusted for the monk's starting alignment.
SpeedEvil	eyes_of_the_overworld	This vision lets you see every square that would be illuminated by a magic lamp, even if there are walls in the way.
greycat	fountain_gambit	A playing style in which you quaff from or #dip into fountains with your low-level character.  The potential reward of a wish is considered by some players enough to overcome the far-more-likely outcome of death by water moccasin or hostile water demon.  Since it's only a low-level character, if you die you didn't lose much; but if you get a wish, you gain enormously.
HiSPeed	fountain_gambit	Doing the fountain gambit with a wizard has a chance of surviving thanks to force bolt and continous level ups (including hp + pw increase).
rast	fountain_gambit	Other players dislike this practice and compare it to #quitting and restarting until a blessed magic lamp is generated in the first room.
rast	fountain_gambit	The expected value of 100 first-level fountains is two wishes, eight hostile water demons, ten groups of snakes, and ten nymphs.  Lower down in the dungeon you will get less wishes and more hostile water demons.

Nodey	dexterity	Dwarves are blessed with a racial max of 20 dexterity, while all other races have a cap of 18. This can be overridden by gauntlets of dexterity, which adds its enchantment to the dexterity (unlike gauntlets of power, which instantly set strength 25 regardless of enchantment).

Intrinsically blind monsters will still respect Elbereth.

Wrongskian	elbereth	You have the following chances of messing up each letter if you have a status problem: blind (1/11), confused (1/7), stunned (1/4), or hallucinating (1/2).

greycat	tsurugi_of_muramasa	A honkin' big sword that can bisect humanoid-sized monsters, or do extra damage vs. big ones, but which is quite silly for a two-weapon combat specialist like the Samurai (whose quest artifact this is).
greycat	tsurugi_of_muramasa	Exact damage is 1d16+d8 vs. small, 1d8+2d6+1d8 vs. large.  Each hit has a 5% chance of instantly killing small creatures (or ones engulfing you), or double damage vs. large ones.
greycat	tsurugi_of_muramasa	It also acts as a luckstone.
Azeral	tsurugi_of_muramasa	As is the case for Vorpal Blade, artifact weapons that are thrown upward are explicitly disallowed from rolling 1 (or 20) on the attack roll, so you cannot bisect yourself this way. Sorry.

lorimer	mumak_resistance	An unusually high amount of HP (200+) combined with low AC (-20 or better), such that meleeing a mumak would leave the player with only a few scratches.
lorimer	mumak_resistance	Also considered the short version of "enough physical toughness so that plain HP loss to combat is very unlikely to be the cause of death without also extreme carelessness."

billnye	e_nomsg	Charged wands of locking, nothing, opening, probing, and undead turning give no message when engraved, as does secret door detection when there are no seekrits around.
SpeedEvil	e_nomsg	These wands are all fairly easy, though tedious to ID. Wands of locking, opening, probing, undead turning and nothing all request a direction when zapped. Secret door detection does not.
scorchgeek	e_nomsg	Zapping the wand at yourself identifies probing and undead turning ("You shudder in dread."); if you get no direction prompt, it was secret door detection.
scorchgeek	e_nomsg	If you have a open/locked chest, then put it in front of a door that's the other way, and zap at it. Locking will lock/close doors, opening will unlock/open doors/chests. If you get no result from the lock/open test and have zapped it at yourself already, it's a wand of nothing.
jeremya	e_nomsg	Careful: if there was nothing on the ground when you engraved, your "no message" wand could be polymorph. E-test again!

tsuteiuQ	curse	"The monster points at you and curses" - The curse described here is a verbal curse, resulting from the monster being unable to correctly cast a spell. This is equivalent to getting "You fail to cast the spell correctly".

greycat	troll	Other ways of preventing a troll's reanimation (besides tinning and/or eating) include drowning it in water (or lava), luring it to the Rogue level (no corpses!), disintegrating it, sacrificing its corpse, polymorphing it (either in T or % form), putting its corpse in a cursed bag of holding and looting it until the corpse vanishes, putting its corpse into a bag of holding (1/40 chance of failure), or stuffing its corpse into a locked container; cancellation does not work.

Poeir	armor_class	Armor class affects the chance of your being hit.  The lower it is, the harder it is for an opponent to hit you.  Ways to lower your armor class are to wear nondamaged armor with a nonnegative enchantment, buying protection from a priest (for 400*xp_level to 600*xp_level-1 zorkmids), getting protection from your god (by #praying at an altar with high enough luck and telepathy, speed, and stealth), or casting the protection spell.
Poeir	armor_class	You can also improve your armor class by wearing a ring of protection.
greycat	armor_class	Other ways of not getting hit (besides AC) are invisibility and displacement.
Grunt	armor_class	Armor affects monster's to-hit roll against you - the value of your AC is added to their to-hit roll, unless your AC is less than zero, in which case a random number between 0 and your armor class is added to their to-hit.
Grunt	armor_class	Further, if your AC is less than zero, a random number between 0 and  its magnitude is subtracted from any physical damage dealt.  Non-physical attacks still deal normal damage.
Glammie	turns_into_a_pretzel	"Your mind turns into a pretzel!" - you have been confused by sitting on a throne.  This is plain old regular confusion.

scorchgeek	werefoo	Ignore Elbereth when in @ form, but not in creature form.
scorchgeek	werefoo	A werefoo's bite can cause the usually undesirable lycanthropy, turning you into a werefoo; see {lycanthropy}.

scorchgeek	werefoo	Quaffing has the same effect on you, if you are a lycanthrope.
scorchgeek	werefoo	Eating a lycanthrope's corpse will inflict lycanthropy and counts as cannibalism if you are human.

SpeedEvil	drown	Drowning can happen two ways. Being dragged in, or falling into the water in some way.
SpeedEvil	drown	Being dragged in by a ; can be prevented by the following means:
SpeedEvil	drown	Wearing a non-cursed greased cloak/suit (whichever is outermost) (100%, but 1/3 chance that the grease will wear off each time)
SpeedEvil	drown	Wearing a non-cursed oilskin cloak (100% guaranteed protection) (cursed outermost greased/oilskin item is only 2/3 chance of protection)
SpeedEvil	drown	Cancelling the ; in question (works 100% UNLESS you are already grabbed, or if you polyself into a grabber such as a rope golem or owlbear and attack said ;)
SpeedEvil	drown	Polyselfing into a monster that 'sticks' completely prevents you from being grabbed, 100%. (large/giant mimic; lichen; violet F; couatl; python; giant/electric  eel; kraken; guardian naga; owlbear; carnivorous ape; rope golem; pit fiend; salamander)
SpeedEvil	drown	You basically can't usually drown if you walk into the water, apart from unusual circumstances, as you can crawl out.
SpeedEvil	drown	Having very low str, or cursed loadstones for example. If you are too heavily loaded to get out, you will drop stuff.
SpeedEvil	drown	If you have the ability to teleport at will, you will attampt to teleport when you fall in, but this may fail on non-teleport levels, or if you have insufficient Pw.
SpeedEvil	drown	Finally, if you are non-breathing due to Magical Breathing (or Strangulation - a temporary solution), or polyselfed into (earth/water E; any ;, b, e, j, m, v, y, F, L, M, P, V, W, X, or Z; or a newt or crocodile) being dragged in works just like walking in - you arrive on the bottom of the water, and can only see water squares next to you, not land, and can pick up items that have fallen in the water.
Cyde	drown	If you manage to get into the water far from land (losing your levitation, waterwalking or flying source), you can't climb out and may drown.
SpeedEvil	drown	Managing to get into the water so that you are not next to land - by jumping or losing your levitation or flying source is another one.
b_jonas	monster_mr	see {monster-mr}
Zadir	increase_damage	A way you can determine your intrinsic damage bonus is to use a means of probing a monster's health, hitting that monster with a non-weapon item (like a comestible) and subtracting 1 + your strength damage bonus from the total damage. The strength damage bonus is 3-5 = -1; 6-15 = 0; 16-17 = 1; 18 = 2; 18/01-18/75 = 3; 18/76-18/90 = 4; 18/91-18/99 = 5; 18/100 or higher = 6.

nooodl	archrobin	A RoundRobin account for players who can ascend reliably. Don't mess up the ascension rate.
paxed	gremlin	Little green g that multiplies in water.  Especially dangerous during night, as it has a high chance of stealing intrinsics when it hits (this is NOT blocked by magic cancellation). Their corpses are poisonous.
Poeir	gremlin	Level 5, difficulty 8, speed 12, AC 2, 25% magic resistance, deals 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d4 + steals intrinsic damage (if night).  This is the only way to lose aggravate monster.
Babamus	gremlin	It is night from 22:00 to 05:59.
Rapidfire	gremlin	These little buggers are chaotic, and thus (if randomly generated) will be peaceful to chaotics with positive alignment.
Rapidfire	gremlin	Therefore, they won't try to steal your intrinsics. Yet another reason to play Chaotic. :)
Zeffrin	gremlin	Eaten: gremlin   Nutr: 20   Effects: Poisonous     Intrinsic: Poison: 33%
blackcustard	gremlin	If an invisible gremlin splits, both new gremlins will be invisible. If a named gremlin splits, both new gremlins will share the name. If a shape changer temporarily assuming gremlin form splits, both new gremlins will be shape changers.
blackcustard	gremlin	Gremlins can use their intrinsic stealing ability on other monsters, producing the messages "The gremlin chuckles" and "You hear laughter" (if the gremlin was out of your sight). HOWEVER, the gremlin cannot actually steal an intrinsic from another monster.
blackcustard	gremlin	They can however destroy clay golems with that attack, producing the same messages. (If you are polymorphed into one, your clay golem form will be destroyed.)
blackcustard	gremlin	Gremlins are hurt by light, for instance from breaking a wand of light or applying an expensive camera.

joshk	orb_of_fate	You can only pick it up if you're Neutral or a Valkyrie.
_Q	orb_of_fate	Otherwise known as the Orb of Weight, due to its mass (150).  That's as much as 3 spellbooks, 30 scrolls, or 15,000 zorkmids.  And you don't get the benefits if it's in your bag of holding.  But it's often worth it.

scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	Naming and calling are frequently confused among new players--they even use the same command (#name). If you get them confused, you'll do a lot of things you didn't intend to.
scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	Naming an object (#name y, or #name b on NAO) will affix a name to just that particular object.
scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	Use this to make a note about an item's BUC status, make a note of resistances or special levels, write how many times you've read a spellbook, mark how many charges of a wand you've used, etc.
scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	Calling (#name n or #name c on NAO) affixes a name to all items with the given appearance.
scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	Use this to affix a name to a type of object once you know its identity or mark the time that you last read a spellbook.
scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	Say you had a "ruby ring" that you had determined was a blessed ring of conflict. You would call (#name n) it "conflict", then name (#name y) it "blessed." The end result would be "a ring called conflict named blessed."
scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	None of this should be confused with the call command (C, or Ca on NAO), which assigns a unique name to a pet or monster.
scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	On NAO, the traditional keys have been patched: pressing C now opens the #name menu, with choices a, b, and c. However, the vanilla keystrokes still work fine (with the exception of C; you must use Ca for that).
scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	For a few more examples of applications for both naming and calling, see https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Name.
scorchgeek	naming_and_calling	To remove the name on an object, set its name to a space.

dtype	genocide	Scrolls of genocide remove monsters (uncursed) or classes of monsters (blessed) from the game. Cursed scrolls summon a group of monsters. Be careful not to genocide yourself! This is easier to do than you might think; be sure not to genocide h for mind flayers if a dwarf, and note that spelling "master mind flayer" "master mindflayer" will kill you if a monk. Also be careful since genociding a monster CANNOT be undone. Ever.
dtype	genocide	Popular genocides include 'L' (lich class) ';' (eel class, instakillers) 'h' (includes mind flayers, DO NOT class-genocide if you are a dwarf) 'R' (disenchanters) 'H' (giants/minotaurs, but giants are good for STR) 'c' (cockatrices/pyrolisks) and 'D' (dragons, but not if you need their resists).

Zealot	genocide	If you are confused, an uncursed scroll genocides *your* role, and a cursed scroll sends in monsters of your role. Blessed scrolls work as normal.

Patashu	tin	Tins are sources of food which carry a random variety of meat in them (or, occasionally, spinach). Uncursed tins will take a while to open unless you are wielding a tin opener, blessed tins will open instantly and cursed tins will occasionally explode and otherwise reduce nutrition but still convey intristics (always rotten).
Patashu	tin	All tins, once opened, are consumed in one turn. Depending on how they were made (fried, pickeled, soup, etc) they will have an amount of nutrition between 20 and 100. Pureed tins have 500 nutrition, rotten tins have -50, tins made by a tinning kit will always have 50 nutrition.
Patashu	tin	Deep fried or french fried tins will make your hands slippery for 15 turns or until cleaned by a towel. This will make you drop your weapon, and if in a shop you will not be able to pick it back up without paying.
Patashu	tin	Tins of spinach will provide 600 nutrition and increase (or decrease if cursed) strength equivalent to eating a giant corpse, see {giant}. "This makes you feel like popeye!"
Patashu	tin	Tins can be made by a tinning kit of any monster that leaves a corpse with positive nutrition. The tin will have a buc status identical to the tinning kit and always have 'homemade' food inside it (50 nutrition).
Patashu	tin	Eating from a tin will give you intristics in the same way eating from the corpse will, with the same probabilities and the bonus that it will only take one turn and not fill you immensely like dragons/giants would.
Patashu	tin	Finally, tins can never contain a monster with 0 nutrition or no corpse, which means no tinning wraiths/wishing for wraith tins, sorry folks. (Slash'em has an exception to this rule in one branch.)
scorchgeek	tin	Tins weigh 10 units each, half the weight of a food ration.

tsuteiuQ	unholy_water	Cursed water. Dip items in unholy water to curse them. Create unholy water by #pray-ing on a cross-aligned altar (not in Gehennom). This will upset your god, however, so you will lose any divine protection you may have.

CydeWeys	holy_water	Quaffing a potion of holy water will cure lycanthropy, but be careful, it will also do 2d6 damage and abuse constitution if chaotic.
Hacken	holy_water	Confused blessed remove curse has a 25% chance to curse, and a 25% chance to bless, uncursed objects in your inventory, including uncursed water.
anselmus	holy_water	To make holy or unholy water, 1) Name a stack of water and drop it. 2) Pick up one (using 'n1,'), rename, and repeat until you have about 8 or so. 3) Drop all other uncursed items ('D -> U'). 4) Confuse yourself and read a blessed ?RC.

dtype	wish	Allows you to obtain most items in the game. You can wish for, but will not receive items which produce wishes (wand of wishing or magic lamp; you *can* wish for smoky potions, though). If your luck is negative, a wish is likely to fail. If you have reason to believe it may be (cursed luckstone, sokoban mishaps, friday the 13th, etc.), save it for later.
casmith789	wish	Good first wishes include "blessed figurine of an Archon" (for a pacifist), "blessed greased +3 grey dragon scale mail" (for a character without MR), "blessed greased +3 silver dragon scale mail" (for a character without reflection), "blessed greased fixed +3 speed boots" (for a character with MR & reflection). +2 or +3 is personal preference.
dtype	wish	If from a wand of wishing, and you haven't id'd charging scrolls, the first wish should _always_ be "2 blessed greased scrolls of charging", or a magic marker to write the scrolls of charging (for the wand) if you've id'd charging, but don't have any or are are wizard with high luck, in which case you can probably write the scroll even when unidentified.
greycat	wish	If you wish for an artifact, the artifact may not be created ("For a moment, you feel something in your hands, but it disappears!"). This will happen 100% of the time if it's your own quest artifact. Otherwise the chance to successfully wish for the artifact is 2/(n+1) where n is the number of artifacts already existing in the game.
greycat	wish	Wishing for another class's quest artifact will blast you for 4d10 damage (2d10 with magic resistance; you also get blasted when you use such an item), so you fountain gamblers may not survive such a wish. You cannot wish for any artifact guaranteed to be found in the game (i.e. your quest artifact, any of the invocation items, or the Amulet of Yendor.)

This means, among other things, that you'll always end up at the deepest part of the Dungeons when you branchport in.

Eidolos	crassworm's_hotel	To check out: zap a wand of opening, polymorph your pet, teleport yourself or your pet, cast knock, ring the charged Bell of Opening, put on a ring of slow digestion, cast charm monster or read scroll of taming, or kill your pet.
Crassworm	crassworm's_hotel	When inside, external monsters can't harm you or your engulfer, and normal monsters can't summon others. You can nudge your room around by applying a magic whistle, although this only moves it a few random squares at a time.
Crassworm	crassworm's_hotel	Any items you drop while inside go into the engulfer's inventory and remain accessible on the 'floor' until you get out. Items left inside remain in the engulfer's inventory, which it can hold or drop at random like with any other pet carrying things.
Calamarain	crassworm's_hotel	A lesser form of this is to be engulfed by a fire/energy vortex while you are resistant to fire/lightning. You can heal in here, and have as many turns breathing room as you like before you kill the vortex.

tsuteiuQ	pudding_farming	A somewhat abusive technique for getting large amounts of items and corpses for sacrificing.
tsuteiuQ	pudding_farming	Step 1: Locate a level which has both a sink and an altar. Step 2: Clear a sufficiently large area for your farm and light it up. Step 3: Kick the sink to create a black pudding, then attack it with a dull knife to split it into many more puddings. Let them heal, and repeat the process. Step 4: Lure the puddings toward your altar and kill them with the dull knife, allowing them to split even more. Step 5: Profit! Sacrifice the corpses for artifacts/prayers and collect the items they leave behind, polypiling whatever you don't need.
tsuteiuQ	pudding_farming	If you can't find a sink, you can reverse-genocide black/brown puddings, bring a corpse from another level and revive it using a wand/spell of Turn Undead, or simply wait until one shows up. You can also lure puddings down holes, if there's a sink above a usable altar. If you can't find a pudding, you can also polymorph yourself into one and wait for a monster wielding a metallic weapon to hit you.
Elliott	pudding_farming	Brown puddings are nice because they don't hit for damage. Black puddings are nice because they always leave corpses (browns don't always), and your god likes them more.
Elliott	pudding_farming	You might want to consider zapping the starting pudding with a wand of speed monster; they'll move onto your altar faster.
Rapidfire	pudding_farming	Chaotics get 166% more prayer timeout reduction than other alignments, and are more efficient at pudding farming.
PsyMar	pudding_farming	"The DevTeam has arranged an immediate and savage punishment for pudding farming.  It's called pudding farming." -- Jove, on RGRN

zezozose	demon_mapping	Useful tip: Use a stethoscope to avoid killing him.
Eidolos	demon_mapping	One of the problems with this technique is you sometimes have to deal with arch-liches and other demon princes. The way to handle them is to wait on the >, wait for them to show up next to you, then go down. Asmodeus will remain on the above level, but now you're (hopefully) on the < with the other baddy.
Eidolos	demon_mapping	While you do this you might like to walk from > to < with a pick-axe in hand. You were going to make a path between stairs anyway, right?
Eidolos	demon_mapping	Asmodeus is probably the best demon lord to guide you to the stairs. Baalzebub's stunning gets incredibly annoying after the second or third level.
Eidolos	demon_mapping	One of the problems with this technique is it can be difficult to find Vlad's Tower. To find Vlad's you can buy clairvoyance from the Valley priest or use your very short supply of magic mapping scrolls. Or walk around like a real man!

Eidolos	rogue_quest	There are separate compartments in the rogue quest. There's one with the <, the one with the Master Assassin, the one with the $ lake, and another one with no notable features. You may land in a compartment that has neither nemesis nor < so you'll need a reliable way to leave.

paxed	protection_racket	A way of playing the beginning game, where you'll try to reach the Minetown while still being on experience level 1, so you can buy protection from the priest cheaply.
dasunt	protection_racket	Probably one of the better ways of dying, but some classes tend to be better at pulling this off then others.  Healers, with their potions and high amount of starting money is a good example.
Zadir	protection_racket	There is a way to do this later on in the game, with a means of draining your own level (Wraiths are ok for this, but pile on the armor so they don't do much damage, important since you'll have low health afterwards, and remove ALL your magic cancellation so that they can still drain your level), and at least 3200 gold (the most needed for 9 levels of AC at XL 1). Bring your level drain tool, or lure the wraith..he
Zadir	protection_racket	to the nearest priest, make a safe spot (Burned Elbereth or a dropped scare monster scroll), and either throw the drain level tool <, or let the wraith hit you, while keeping a careful eye on your health. Wraiths do 1d6 damage AFTER the level drain, so keep that in mind and have full health before each drain at levels under 5.
Zadir	protection_racket	Ideally, you'll want to have the safe square next to the altar that the priest is roaming around, and the temple walls intact, so try to either kill any nearby burrowers before starting (usually dwarves, if this is in minetown), or patch any holes with boulders, to prevent monster interference.
Zadir	protection_racket	If you want to do it right away, try choosing dwarf or gnome for your starting race, then the majority of gnomes and dwarves that spawn in the mine will be peaceful, easing your descent to minetown.
browncustard	protection_racket	< Muad> "I gave money to the Church! Yay!" *kills indiscriminately*
PsyMar	protection_racket	Hope it's not a dead-priest bones when you get there.
Oracle_of_Delphi	protection_racket	Also hope the temple hasn't been converted.
nailbunny	cursed_weapon	If the weapon a character is wielded is cursed, it will be welded to the chatacter's hand(s).
nailbunny	cursed_weapon	Characters will be unable to wear or remove gloves or rings with a cursed one-handed weapon. A cursed two-handed weapon is even more debilitating -- characters cannot (a)pply bags or #loot containers until the weapon is removed or uncursed.
nailbunny	cursed_weapon	In addition to techniques that will uncurse any item, a weapon can be uncursed by a non-cursed scroll of enchant weapon.
nailbunny	cursed_weapon	Less traditional methods to remove it include allowing a nymph or monkey to steal it.

Nexos	klunk	Sound you hear when you use a wand of locking on a large box/chest
ekiM	plate_mail	Iron body armor, AC7, MC2, weight 450, cost 600. Called "tanko" for Samurai games. Cumbersome, but a big AC boost.

Eidolos	eidolos'_library	Wizards always start with a blessed spellbook of force bolt. If you also start with a wand of polymorph, you can poly the spellbook and read it. Repeat a few times to greatly expand your starting repertoire.
Eidolos	eidolos'_library	You can also polymorph your second book at the same time, but you run a greater risk of shuddering, and it's really only worthwhile if the second book is blessed (so you are guaranteed to learn the spells). You shouldn't be tempted to poly your pet at the same time. You can kill your pet with a bad polymorph (so wait a bit first)
Eidolos	eidolos'_library	The big criticism of this technique is that after you forget the spells you're in trouble. My response is thus: better to start with the spell and forget it than to never have learned it at all (especially in the first 20k turns when the going is tough for wizards). If you really need the spell, you can write the book with the marker (guaranteed to work since you have ID'd the book)
dasunt	chaotic_artifact_weapons	Grimtooth, Orcrist, Sting and Stormbringer are the chaotic artifact weapons.  You can get all of them by #offering.

ihope	potion_of_water	See {water}
dasunt	elemental_planes	In order of appearance:  Earth, air, fire, water and finally astral.
dasunt	elemental_planes	In order to get to the first elemental plane (earth) you must have the real amulet of Yendor and ascend the stairs or quaff a cursed !oGL on dlvl 1.  Make sure you have everything you need.  There is NO RETURN to the main dungeon.  Make sure you have the amulet and it is not a fake.
dasunt	elemental_planes	To get from one plane to another, you must locate the hidden portals on each level.  The amulet of Yendor, if worn or wielded, will give clues to the portal's location, otherwise, crystal balls or cursed/confused ?oGD will work just as well (if not better).
Dartonias	elemental_planes	Good things to have include a way to dig (earth) and a method of levitation (to move around in air). Also, Air Elementals are particularly nasty, see {air_elemental}.
Sgep	elemental_planes	If you don't have the Amulet in your possession (i.e. stolen), and you step on the portal, nothing will happen, so don't worry about it.

dasunt	boots	There are ten types of boots in the game.  Low boots (walking shoes), high boots (jackboots) and iron shoes (hard shoes) have the same appearance each game.  Elven, kicking, fumble, levitation, jumping, speed and water walking boots have their unidentified descriptions randomized per game:  mud, buckled, riding, snow, hiking, combat, and jungle boots.
greycat	boots	All of the randomized boots are organic (can rot from brown P attack) except for kicking boots, which are metal.
Zealot	boots	Elven and kicking boots are cheap; base price 8. Fumbling and levitation boots are 30 zorkmids, and almost always cursed. Speed, water walking, and jumping boots are 50 zorkmids, and do their job just as well if cursed.
HanClinto	boots	The randomized descriptions of the boots can also give other effects. For instance, boots with the un-id'd description of "snow boots" will keep you from slipping and making noise while on ice, and "riding boots" give you a riding bonus.
Masque	you_feel_warm	A message received when gaining the cold resistance intrinsic via level gain (XL 13 as a monk, valks start with this at XL 1.)
paxed	teleportitis	A malady which causes you to teleport randomly.  You want teleport control too.
dasunt	teleportitis	When the teleportitis player shops, he or she should first #chat with the shopkeeper to find the price of an item, drop that amount of zorkmids (d n $ where n is the number of zorkmids), then pick up the item.
matthewmodern	teleportitis	commonly given from eating leprechauns, tengu, nymphs.
Eidolos	teleportitis	Hitting ^t (that's ctrl+t) will force teleportation if you're of sufficient level. Handy for escaping air elementals, energy vortices, being surrounded by black dragons, etc. This will burn up nutrition. You also cannot force teleportation if you're too burdened or hungry. None of this applies to random teleportation.

Eidolos	medusa's_island	Both Medusa's variants can be jumped across (unless your only source of jumping is from being a knight)
Eidolos	medusa's_island	Dig down if you cannot cross water yet. You can either come right back up and get the levitation boots from Perseus (maybe), wish for a means with the castle wand, or go down to Vlad's and get the water walking boots (if you are able to cross the moat).
nooodl	medusa's_island	You can fall past Medusa from a trap door or hole on the level above.

Sartak	remove_curse	You can wield virtually any cursed item and use this spell to uncurse it. Except for casting + 2-handed weapons.
Eidolos	remove_curse	When a blessed scroll of remove curse is read while confused, each uncursed item in your main inventory has a chance of becoming blessed or cursed. This is probably the safest way to make unholy water.

bcode	t2000timings.txt	The guide to the last few turns of the NetHack TAS. The latest plans are always available at <http://nethack4.org/latest/nethack-tas-tools/t2000timings.txt>.
Calamarain	calamarain	Reasonably experienced NetHack player, and author of the Angband webcomic "Tales from the Pit"
Calamarain	calamarain	Tales from the Pit is found at http://angband.calamarain.net/
n1ffo	telepathy	Telepathy will allow you to see monsters that have minds anywhere on the level, as long as you are blind.
itsblah	telepathy	Telepathy from an item (worn amulet, worn helm, artifact) is also known as extrinsic telepathy, and it works on nearby monsters even while not blind.
paxed	telepathy	The easiest way to gain telepathy is to eat a floating eye corpse.
bcode	#updatestatus	see {botl_updates}
scorchgeek	you_are_guarded	You have MC2.
raxvulpine	troll_farming	If you want to collect lots of deathdrops without having people harsh on you for farming puddings, try troll farming! Trolls can death-drop items each time they regenerate, and so you can get a lot of loot from a troll if you're patient.
raxvulpine	troll_farming	If you have carnivorous pets, they will eat the troll corpses, and there goes the family farm, so be sure to keep your cats and dogs locked away. If the troll is too high-level for you, use Stormy or the Staff to drain them down.
raxvulpine	troll_farming	If the troll isn't coming back to life quick enough for you, No Problem! Zap it with a wand of undead turning. For maximum efficiency, line up a few troll corpses for this.
raxvulpine	troll_farming	The best place to do this is likely the barbarian quest, where there are a lot of trolls just waiting to be looted, but anywhere you can reverse gencoide trolls is a fine place to get started.

Eidolos	keystone_kops	see {kops}
Violist	you_hear_a_low_buzzing	There is a beehive somewhere on the level.
TheShrewdDude	you_hear_a_low_buzzing	You may also recieve this message if you've kicked a tree too many times, when bees would have appeared.
Cheapy	scroll_of_teleportation	Blessed one lets you choose (if you don't have TC) if you want to teleport. Uncursed teleports you to a random position on the same level. Cursed allows for level teleporting (very useful).
Cheapy	scroll_of_teleportation	If you have teleport control, you can choose where to teleport with all three forms of the scroll.
Cheapy	scroll_of_teleportation	When carrying the Amulet of Yendor, you have a 1/3 chance of not teleporting in case of a blessed or uncursed scroll. You will NOT be allowed to level teleport with a cursed scroll while carrying the Amulet of Yendor.
Eidolos	scroll_of_teleportation	If you found a scroll in a corridor, chances are pretty good it's teleportation (unless a monster drops it or something).
merlincorey	scroll_of_teleportation	Confused is like cursed (level teleport) except there is a chance that the teleport may be random, regardless of teleport control
bcode	cav	see {caveman}
dasunt	food_appraisal	After reading a blessed scroll of food detection or casting the spell of detect food at skilled or better, you'll be warned if the food you are about to eat is tainted, will petrify, slime, be rotten, break Monk's vegetarian conduct, be acidic, be rustproof (if you are a rust monster) break vegan, or break vegetarian conduct (in that order).
SheeEttin	food_appraisal	Only lasts until you receive a warning.
lorimer	undead	Undead do extra damage during the midnight hour (ie. when the server's clock reads 00:XX:XX).
lorimer	undead	This damage comes in the form of an extra set of damage rolls:  ie, a mummy that does 3d4 per hit will actually do 3d4 + 3d4 per hit
dasunt	black_onyx_ring	An unidentified ring.  Cannot be eaten by any monster.

scwizard	deliberately_meeting_medusa's_gaze	How to be petrified by deliberately meeting Medusa's gaze
scwizard	deliberately_meeting_medusa's_gaze	Step 1: Dig down past Medusa's lair (keep track of what level it's on)
scwizard	deliberately_meeting_medusa's_gaze	Step 2: Gather the following items: Blessed amulet of life saving, ring of polymorph control, wand of polymorph, ring of stealth (if you don't have it intrinsically), boots of speed. Put on or wear all the items mentioned above.
scwizard	deliberately_meeting_medusa's_gaze	Step 3: On the upstairs leading to Medusa's lair polymorph into an umber hulk
scwizard	deliberately_meeting_medusa's_gaze	Step 4: Go upstairs, Medusa should be alseep and you should not be stone. If medusa is awake then you messed up.
scwizard	deliberately_meeting_medusa's_gaze	Step 5: Attack Medusa, you'll turn to stone but your amulet should save you. It should then be your turn.
scwizard	deliberately_meeting_medusa's_gaze	Step 6: #monster
scwizard	deliberately_meeting_medusa's_gaze	Step 7: Your gaze confuses Medusa! Gazing at the awake Medusa is not a very good idea. You turn to stone...
jilles	extinctionist	A style of play in which one attempts to extinct or genocide as many monsters as possible.
jilles	extinctionist	Usually done with the create monster spell. The Eye of the Aethiopica is very useful for the fast energy regeneration.
jilles	extinctionist	This takes very long.

dtype	nao	nethack.alt.org abbreviation for the supremely lazy.
Zeffrin	kop_sergeant	Eaten: Kop Sergeant   Nutr: 200   Effects: Human
paxed	magic_marker	Apply a magic marker to write on a scroll of blank paper or on a blank spellbook.
paxed	magic_marker	You can write unknown scrolls by description (ie, XIXAXA as opposed to "identify"); wizards have 1 in 3, other classes 1 in 15 chance of succeeding.  Writing unknown spellbooks by appearance (ie, "silver spellbook" as opposed to "polymorph") is not possible.
greycat	magic_marker	Bless/curse status of the resulting scroll/spellbook is the sum of the b/u/c status of both the marker and the medium (if <0, cursed; if 0, uncursed; if >0, blessed, assuming cursed = -1, uncursed = 0, and blessed = +1).
peabrain	magic_marker	They are generated with 30 - 99 charges, and can only be recharged once. An uncursed scroll of charging will add 10 - 20 charges, and then bring the marker to a minimum of 50 charges. Blessed scrolls of charging add 15 - 30, and then set the charge to 50 if below 50, or 75 if between 51 and 75.
paxed	magic_marker	The number of charges used in writing a spellbook is a random number between LVL*5 and LVL*10-1, where LVL is the spell's level.
Eidolos	magic_marker	The number of charges used in writing a scroll or book is a random number between X/2 and X-1. See {ink} for the values of X. If you have less than X/2 charges, you won't even attempt to write the scroll.
Babamus	magic_marker	Your chance to write unknown spellbooks increases with your luck to a maximum of about 98% for wizards and 32% for other classes.
PsyMar	magic_marker	"The pen is mightier than the sword."
Eidolos	magic_marker	You can write (scribble) Elbereth on the ground with a magic marker. This is a semi-permanent engraving, just like a wand of digging or athame. Every two letters uses one charge, so Elbereth takes only four charges.
Zeffrin	elf-lord	Eaten: elf-lord   Nutr: 350   Effects: Elf     Intrinsic: Sleep: 53%
dasunt	wire_ring	An unidentified ring.  *CAN* be eaten by rock moles, rust monsters, and xorns.
Zeffrin	attendant	Eaten: attendant   Nutr: 400   Effects: Human
billnye	you_feel_wide_awake	 Whatever you just ate gave you sleep resistance.  Wear it in good health.
paxed	throne	Usually found in a throne room.  The usual thing to do with it is to #sit on it until it vanishes. You can also kick gems loose from them. Sitting on a throne has a 33% chance of giving a special effect, which is one of the following, all equally likely:
tsuteiuQ	throne	1 - Decrease a random stat by 4-7 points and take 1-10 damage || 2 - Increase a random stat by 1 || 3 - Electric shock, 1-30 damage (1-6 if resistant), abuse CON
tsuteiuQ	throne	4 - Fully heal, gain 4 max HP if less than 5 below max, cure blindness+sickness+wounded legs || 5 - Lose gold (including gold rings) from inventory || 6 - Receive a wish (or increase luck if it was too low)
tsuteiuQ	throne	7 - Summon several throne room monsters || 8 - Uncursed genocide || 9 - If positive luck, become blinded for 100-350 turns, else randomly curse items.
tsuteiuQ	throne	10 - Gain see invisible intrinsic if you don't have it already and luck is non-negative, else magic mapping || 11 - Aggravate monsters if luck is negative, else teleport.
tsuteiuQ	throne	12 - Identify 1-4 (or all) items || 13 - Make confused for 7-23 turns.
tsuteiuQ	throne	Thrones have a 33% chance of vanishing each time you sit on them UNLESS you were teleported elsewhere. If you are not unlucky, the probability of getting a wish from a throne before it disappears is approximately 7.4952% (give or take a few hundred-thousandths of a percent).  See also http://www.steelypips.org/nethack/343/thrn-343.html
jeremya	throne	Before you #sit, bag your gold and get out any items you want ID'd. If you have negative luck, drop unicorn horn and gold in the next square and get ready to remove curse. Also, you might want to have more than 30hp.
Cheapy|	dx	see {dexterity}

Eidolos	dig_to_victory	see {dig for victory}
tsuteiuQ	spinach	Very nourishing (600 nutrition) and healthy stuff. Eating a tin of spinach raises your STR, but watch your hunger status lest you choke on such a nutritious meal.
itsblah	spinach	Note that a cursed tin of spinach (tin contains some decaying green substance) will decrease STR instead. Strength loss or gain is equivalent to eating a giant corpse, see {giant}.
scwizard	spinach	Watch out, giant man-eating tins of spinach have claimed over 500 lives on NAO.
dasunt	elven_armour	The elven mithril coat, elven leather helm, elven cloak (faded pall), elven shield (blue and green shield) and elven boots (random appearance) are pieces of elven armor in the game.  Unlike normal armour that can only be enchanted at +3 or below without chance of vaporization, elven armour can be enchanted at +5 or below without being vaporized.  Thus, with a little luck, elven armour can be enchanted to +7.
dasunt	silver_dragon_scale_mail	Silver dragon scale mail drops AC by 9 and provides reflection while not hindering spell casting.  Many AKs include this piece of armor.
dasunt	silver_dragon_scale_mail	"Blessed greased +2 silver dragon scale mail" is a great wish for many characters.  The 'greased' part may save your life if you aren't wearing a robe and are walking by water.
dasunt	silver_dragon_scale_mail	Does NOT provide magic cancellation.
CydeWeys	silver_dragon_scale_mail	Weighs 40 and does not hinder spellcasting.

greycat	mars	The chaotic god of rangers.
Violist	frosty	See {frost_brand}
dtype	werebane	One of many joke monster-specific artifact weapons that is just an obstacle in the way of a good weapon.
itsblah	werebane	Also unrestricts you in silver saber if you got it as a gift, so it isn't a total waste.
Stevie[FP]	werebane	When wielded, protects you from being infected ("You feel feverish.") from a werefoo's bite.
teabing	werebane	Usually considered to be less useful than a non-artifact silver saber, since those can be #twoweaponed in your offhand. Nonaligned.
Hellzon	werebane	Does double damage and gets +1d5 to hit versus werecreatures.
nooodl	sam_skills	Basic: dagger, scimitar, saber, quarterstaff, spear, javelin. Skilled: knife, broad sword, flail, polearms, lance, attack spells, cleric spells, riding. Expert: short sword, long sword, two handed sword, bow, shuriken, two weapon combat. Master: martial arts.

paxed	default_rc	https://alt.org/nethack/default.nh360rc
TSC	slow_digestion	Just what it sounds like; your normal nutrition consumption (1 per turn) is prevented.  Good if you're trying to offer lots of corpses.
Eidolos	slow_digestion	With two rings of slow digestion, you can go indefinitely without losing any nutrition. The hunger of each ring hand is calculated on different turns. Wear both rings. A turn before the left ring hunger is calculated, remove the left ring. Wait. Put the left ring back on. Same for the right. Repeat.
Eidolos	slow_digestion	When turn mod 20 == 4, your left hand hunger is calculated. When turn mod 20 == 12, your right hand hunger is calculated. x mod y == z means the remainder of x/y is z.
Eidolos	slow_digestion	While wearing a ring of slow digestion, you still consume a point of nutrition every 20 turns (from the ring hunger). You still face the normal nutrition penalties of other rings, amulets, spellcasting, jumping, etc.
Eidolos	slow_digestion	A fringe benefit of wearing a ring of slow digestion is that corporeal monsters that swallow you (such as purple worms and trappers) will immediately spit you out. You can even abuse this to identify =oSD.

greycat	teleport_control	The cure for "you feel jumpy".  You can get intrinsic teleport control by eating a tengu corpse (17% chance) or the Wizard of Yendor's corpse (20% chance), or you can wear a ring of teleport control.  High-level wizards and monks (XL 17) get it automatically.
Stevie[FP]	teleport_control	Rings of teleport control have a base cost of 300 zorkmids.

tenco	rope_golem	Don't let 'em rope you!
dasunt	orcish_helm	Its unidentified appearance is 'iron skull cap'.  Often the first helmet you see in the game.  Will drop AC by one, but the dwarvish iron helm has double the AC and is almost as easy to find.
dasunt	hooded_cloak	see {dwarvish cloak}
blindy	blindcoder	Managed to get a royally ass-kicking Wiz-Elf-Mal-Cha killed on the Plane of Air by forgetting to bring a ring of conflict.

blindcoder	blindcoder	If I were a NetHack monster, I would be a unicorn. Most people are only after one thing - I try to maintain a quiet and respectful distance until I feel sure that I can trust someone.
koitsu	vrock	Weakest of the common demons.  They have a human body, but sport the claws, neck, and head of a vulture.  AD&D states they can detect invisible objects, and occasionally summon another vrock; particularly fond of stones/gems.
Cheapy_	vrock	And now for a more useful entry... Diff: 11 Base Level: 8 Base XP: 173 Speed: 12 AC: 0 MR: 50% Attacks: 1d4/1d4/1d8/1d8/1d6

greycat	mercury	The lawful god of the ranger pantheon.
paxed	#nethack:$act_kills_$self	$CHOICE(I shall return.|I'll be back.)
aosdict	evil_patch_idea	An evil idea for a patch.
aosdict	evil_patch_idea	Usually not something that makes the game unwinnable, but makes it much more annoying.
LarienTelrunya	evil_patch_idea	Evil Patch ideas were originally not meant to be implemented, their purpose was to serve as a graveyard for bad ideas. Little did anyone expect SLEX would come along and deliberately try to implement as many of them as possible.
Poeir	wand_of_probing	Fires a beam.  Reveals the location (if invisible), status and inventory of a monster it hits.  Lists contents of objects it hits.  Directed at self gives your status and indicates the appearance of any object in your inventory you have not yet seen.
TruePika	#nethack:?oid?	Scroll of identify
paxed	extmenu	Configuration option. Does extended commands interface pop up a menu?
ais523	elbereth_3.6.1	Compared to NetHack 3.4.3, Elbereth works like this: a) it only works if it's the only text on the square; b) it only works when you're standing on it; c) it disappears (with an alignment penalty) if you take a hostile action towards a monster while standing on it; d) it doesn't work in Gehennom or the Planes
DrSunglass	drsunglass	Notable for having an entry in Rodney's learndb.
tsuteiuQ	queasy_feeling	"You have a queasy feeling for a moment, then it passes." - Your pet trapper/lurker/purple worm just died attempting to swallow Death, Pestilence, or Famine.
dasunt	hawaiian_shirt	Made of cloth, offers no AC drop if unenchanted, and will cause shopkeepers to exploit you if not hidden under armor!  Yah!  (Also the default starting armour for a tourist.)
CydeWeys	hawaiian_shirt	Costs 2 zorkmids and weighs 5.
sjdevnull	hawaiian_shirt	You don't need to bother fireproofing them, as the base AC is 0 to start with.
ZeroOne	k-ration	Food. Weight: 10. Nutrition: 400. Takes 1 turn to consume. Does not break vegan conduct.
jilles	brigit	The neutral goddess of the Knight pantheon.

paxed	menu_invert_all	Configuration option.  Menu character accelerator to invert all items in a menu.  Default '@'.
Patashu	phasing	Allows you to enter and exit almost all walls, pits and prevents death by drawbridge. Only earth elementals, xorns, ghosts and shades have this intristic, the former two being the only polyable ones.
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	The following monsters can be made far less dangerous by either a wand or the spell of cancellation:
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	Chickatrices and cockatrices (MR 30) cannot stone you with their hissing attack but touching the trice (or corpse) still petrifies.
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	Ghouls (MR 0), shades (MR 0), cubes (MR 0), eyes (MR 10), and guardian nagas (MR 50) cannot use their paralysis attacks.
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	Rust monsters and disenchanters (both MR 0) lose their special abilities.
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	Nymphs (MR 30) become plain nymphs and cannot steal things.
itsblah	cancelable_monsters	Spellcasters (MR varies) lose the ability to cast spells. Especially useful on certain quest nemeses, since most of them have a low MR.
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	All standard dragons (D, MR 20) lose their breath ability ("<monster> coughs").
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	Demons (most &, of varying MR) can't do their bring-in-some-friends routine once cancelled.
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	Similarly, werefoo can't summon help if you cancel them; additionally, they get stuck in whatever form they were in when cancelled.
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	Xans (red x) can't prick and injure your legs.
Stevie	cancelable_monsters	Green slimes (P, MR 0!) cannot slime you by touching you (although their corpses are just as deadly to eat).
BenUrban	cancelable_monsters	Foocubi get a "severe headache" and won't have sex anymore.

tweek__	ibmgraphics	If you use XTerm/RXVT/aterm/Eterm/etc. to play NetHack through NAO, and can't seem to get IBMgraphics to display correctly, check out http://tweek.no-ip.org/stuff/lutRS13-ascii.bdf.bz2 for a 13-pt fixed-width Lucida font that (supposedly) works with DEC/IBM/whatever, and looks cool.
tweek__	ibmgraphics	To prepare - decompress the file ($ bunzip2 lutRS13-ascii.bdf.bz2), then use bdftopcf to compile the font ($ bdftopcf lutRS13-ascii.bdf > lutRS13-ascii.pcf), then gzip the resulting file ($ gzip lutRS13-ascii.pcf).
tweek__	ibmgraphics	To install - copy the gzipped, compiled PCF file into any font path specified in your XF86Config or xorg.conf file. I use /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/. Then cd to that path and use mkfontdir (# mkfontdir) to regenerate the path's fonts.dir listing, then use xset ($ xset fp rehash) to have X look for new fonts. (You could also restart X, but, meh.)
tweek__	ibmgraphics	To use - tell your favorite terminal emulator to use the font -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-13-125-75-75-m-80-ascii-0 (on many systems -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-ascii-0 will be enough). Most of these accept a command-line argument of -fn; for something more permanent, add an entry to .Xresources like Aterm*font: -*-lucida...

tweek__	ibmgraphics	If you use Windows, use PuTTY as a telnet client (google for it). Type in 'nethack.alt.org' under 'Host Name (or IP address)' and check 'Telnet', then hit 'Open' to connect. To have PuTTY translate IBMgraphics characters correctly, tell it to use code page 437 (on the left side, under Window -> Translation, change 'Use font encoding' to 'CP437'). You can save these settings by going back to 'Session', clicking 'Default Settings' and hi

BenUrban	encumbrance	Encumbrance level is determined by your current carrying capacity (see {carrying_capacity}) and how much weight you're carrying beyond that capacity.
BenUrban	encumbrance	The formula is cap = (wt*2 / wc) + 1, where wc is your capacity, and wt is your extra weight.
BenUrban	encumbrance	If the result is 0 or less, you are unencumbered; between 0 and 1, you are burdened; between 1 and 2, you are stressed; between 2 and 3, you are strained; between 3 and 4, you are overtaxed; above 4, you are overloaded.
BenUrban	encumbrance	Thus, if your carrying capacity is 1000 (the maximum), you would be burdened at 1000, stressed at 1500, strained at 2000, overtaxed at 2500, and overloaded at 3000.
workimer	encumbrance	The practical aspect of all this is: encumbrance affects your movement rate and how often you get to act.  If you have a value greater than 0, put some things down or you're going to die.

dasunt	gloves	There are four types of gloves in the game:  leather gloves (yugake), gauntlets of dexterity, gauntlets of fumbling, and gauntlets of power.  Their unidentified descriptions are randomized per game:  old gloves, padded gloves, riding gloves, fencing gloves.
dasunt	gloves	To identify gloves, use these guidelines:  Leather gloves are common, tend to be dropped by certain NPCs, and cost far less then the other types.  Gauntlets of fumbling tend to be cursed, if they are not, wearing them should give a clue.  Gauntlets of power auto-identify when worn.  Which leaves gauntlets of dexterity as the last possibility - they will auto-identify if enchanted.
Zealot	gloves	Leather gloves cost 8 zorkmids; the others cost 50 zorkmids.
greycat	gloves	Gauntlets of power are metal, and will therefore rust and increase spell failure probabilities; the others are non-metallic.  For spellcasters, gauntlets of dexterity are the gloves of choice.
ihope	gloves	Gauntlets of power weigh 30; the others weigh 10.

cjfp	stealing_from_shops	Stealing items from shops is a quick way to get money and items early in the game.
Violist	stealing_from_shops	If you teleport out of the shop with anything of value, the Kops will arrive to help the shopkeeper kill you. The safe way to steal is to get your pet to pick up items and then move them out of the shop.
cjfp	stealing_from_shops	Shopkeepers have a finite amount of gold.  You want to get all of it.  Plus their items.  Preferably without angering them.
cjfp	stealing_from_shops	To do this, gather up some money outside of a shop.  Enter the shop (with or without your pet).  Drop all of your money by the door.  The shopkeeper will give you credit.  Buy all the items you can.  Drop all of the items in your inventory that the shopkeeper will pay you for (even if they weren't originally in the shop).  Drop the new money on top of the old coins.  Wait for your pet to steal it.  
cjfp	stealing_from_shops	Repeat until the shopkeeper is offering you credit instead of coins, and then use credit to buy everything you want from the store.  It helps if you buy all the cheap items so your pet doesn't waste time stealing those instead of the coins.
cjfp	stealing_from_shops	Stupid move of the day: Dropping gold on the entrance of a shop, then your kitten reverse-steals it and you have REVERSE CREDIT
_bryce	stealing_from_shops	More brute force methods include using a wand of digging downwards (> key) and teleportation. Either will anger the shk and summon Kops.
_bryce	stealing_from_shops	The teleportation has the disadvantage that your pet will not accompany you, but the shk is powerless to prevent your escape with the loot. With digging, on the other hand, you can keep an adjacent pet, but the shk will "leap and grab your backpack" if you aren't more than five squares away.
_bryce	stealing_from_shops	The ultimate brute force is to simply kill the shk; they are powerful compared to an early character, however, so lots of planning is called for. It is also impractical for low-level characters without magic resistance, since shk usually have /oMagic Missile or Striking.
_bryce	stealing_from_shops	Provided you refrain from throwing the shopkeeper's stuff, a shk will stand in front of the door if you are invisible. Combining this with magic resistance, you can stand at a distance and whack on the shk with ranged attacks for an extended period.
_bryce	stealing_from_shops	Make sure your invisibility doesn't wear off...
_bryce	stealing_from_shops	Finally, remember they deserve it, for cheating you out of gems and killing you with their mimic allies.
_bryce	stealing_from_shops	Beware, sometimes a shk may have a /oL. Magic resistance will not protect you from this.
__bryce	stealing_from_shops	Additionally, shopkeepers will follow you through holes.
__bryce	stealing_from_shops	Shopkeepers are quite well equipped to deal with traps, and catching them in bear traps does not appear to work.
moussambani	stealing_from_shops	However, never, NEVER, kill Izchak.
_bryce	stealing_from_shops	It's not nice and is frowned upon by the community.

Poeir	how_to_annoy_people_in_one_easy_step	Like the time I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days.  So I tied an onion to my belt, as was the style at the time.  Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them; "Give me five bees for a quarter!" you'd say.

billnye	how_to_annoy_people_in_one_easy_step	Now, where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, as was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, because of the war, all you could get was those big yellow ones...

Violist	how_to_annoy_people_in_one_easy_step	But the yellow ones stank so much, we had to put those clothespins over our noses when we went into town. 'course, that didn't help the eyes, but you were crying anyways because of all these people with clothespins on their noses. But I was laughing so hard I went right by the shoestore, which in the old days was called a footstore. We often called it Footsore because the boots were so awful.
