[net.games.hack] exploiting bugs

Wrest the last charge out of a wand of wishing and use it to get another
wand of wishing.  Chances are the new wand will be "used up," but if it
isn't you get three new charges and if it is you can wrest the final charge
out of it to ask for another wand of wishing and repeat the process.  If
your keyboard has auto-repeat it is handy to get exactly 26 items in your
pack and make the wand of wishing the last one; then you just hold down
the z key until you get your final charge.  Spell carefully...

Want lots of amulets?  Run a studly character down to get his/her first
amulet and then gather all sorts of useful emergency weapons on your way
up to level 1.  Drop a few rations of food and all your emergency weapons
at level 2 and run up to level 1.  Get on another terminal and start a
new character (preferably a cave-man) and go to level 2.  Pick up all
the good stuff and name it appropriately before you forget.  Run like
hell as deep as you can get easily (i.e. the first maze).  Save your
game and run your original character (who you are playing on a different
terminal) down to a maze level and get another amulet, then run it up
to level 25 and switch to another terminal and unsave your second
character and save it again.  Woila!  When your original character
descends you get more mazes!
