I suggest you wish for `a +3 crysknife' (not more than +3) and `a +3 elven cloak'. If you think that you are going to escape the dungeon, wish for `a diamond'. It's a lot of points. Michiel Huisjes.

Dead cockatrices decay, so I would not recommend you wish for one... also, they don't hit too well. A crysknife and a plate mail are good combinations. For the remaining wish, a ring of teleport control or a ring of conflict is a good choice. Thomas.

So, what do you do with a dead cockatrice anyway? jbs

If you wield a coc. don't throw away a real weapon. -- Jon M. Allingham (201)386-3466 AT&T Bell Laboratories-WH "Beam me up Scotty, no intelligent life down here!"

Dear Gabby - I noticed that if you do a "/" on "w", it says that the teeth of a long worm can be made into a crysknife. I moved a worm I killed and picked up a +2 wormtooth. How do I go about making it into a crysknife? Do I need more than one tooth, or what? Signed, wondering.
