So stoked to have my first win in just over 150 attempts. I made a post on Reddit thanking the community for being so helpful but figured I’d start interacting on Lemmy since that’s where things have migrated to. Thank you everyone!

    is this a +1 weapon/armor?

    If you find a str 12 weapon but only have 11 str…
    Without going into cursed items, a +1 weapon would in fact only require 11 str. Don’t wanna spend a scroll to identify it, just equip it (hopefully it isn’t cursed). If your can still surprise attack, then you have enough str for it, which means it’s at least +1.

    My favourite way to do this is to throw the item on an explosive trap or put it on a ground and throw a bomb on it. Upgraded items to not get destroyed. Then the worst thing that still can happen is that it is cursed.

      Nice.
      I do like selling everything though, but it can come in handy. Pretty good if you have several items but only one scroll of remove curse. Do unupgraded cursed items get destroyed?
      Can probably do multiple items with the same trap/bomb too.
      Reminds me of how I cook a whole stack of meat with a single fire/ice seed. Drop the stack, plant the seed on top, walk away, throw whatever back on the seed. If you have nothing that’s not flammable, throw one meat away before dropping the stack so you have a spare one for the throw.

        Yes, works with multiple items and cursed items get destroyed if unupgraded. So you are right, the best way is to stack it all and throw the bomb or place it all around an explosive trap.
