# User:Progo
Due to technical restrictions, this page's title is incorrect. The correct title is progo.
Hi, I am a bastard nethacker from icy Finland trying to achieve some goals such as ascending all 13 roles and so on...
It began on Oct. 2006. I made my first ascension with the classy fighters, barbarians. Since then I have moved and ascended valks, tourists, wizards, knights and samurais. I have ascended 10 times with some of the ascensions having conducts like wishless polypileless and that kind of stuff. Mostly done with RL luck, but anyways. I think my ultimate goal is to do every conduct and every role. Perhaps some more stupid ascension tricks as well, we'll see if I get bored to this ever.
My current target is to ascend a Caveman or an Arc. My cavemen seem to always get mattock early on and they can use them better than arcs, who still can get pick-axe to Expert which obviously should matter, but not. I'd love to try gnomish arc but I hate peaceful Mines. A lot of good'n'easy XP is wasted when you can't slaughter the peabags called gnomes.
Hiscores
My hiscore list (local). I try to update it whenever I do anything notable there. Nowadays I play a lot on NAO because I'm getting used to the lag which can be enormous at times.

Please have a look to my nethack site site. It may be down and sometimes very slow because of the connection (and location), but has some info, such as my YAAPs (most of them are in Finnish, unfortunately), but the recent ones are written in English (and with bad syntax).
My English isn't too great, so there sure are some grammar errors and such. |

# Vorpal jabberwock
The vorpal jabberwock is an unused monster in vanilla NetHack which has been implemented in SLASH'EM, GruntHack, UnNetHack, SpliceHack, and EvilHack.
In every incarnation, the vorpal jabberwock is a more powerful version of the regular jabberwock, appearing as J. Like the regular jabberwock, it is especially vulnerable to being beheaded by Vorpal Blade (and other methods of decapitation, depending on the variant).

A vorpal jabberwock:
can fly.

is carnivorous.
is normally generated hostile.

is strong.
can pick up weapons and food.
can be seen through infravision.
The vorpal jabberwock possesses multiple beheading attacks, each with a 5% chance of instantly beheading you on every successful hit (100% chance if you are polymorphed into a jabberwock or vorpal jabberwock yourself; 0% if you are currently headless or amorphous). Additionally, jabberwocks can grow up into vorpal jabberwocks.
UnNetHack
In UnNetHack, the vorpal jabberwock behaves very similarly to GruntHack's version, except that the chance of beheading is only 2.5% per hit, and canceling the vorpal jabberwock prevents it from beheading anything.
This page is a stub. Should you wish to do so, you can contribute by expanding this page.
A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:
"Please verify: beheading chance seems more like 20% and cancelling seems to not be possible"
EvilHack
In EvilHack, the vorpal jabberwock behaves very similarly to GruntHack's version. Additionally, it is one of the alternate forms the Wizard of Yendor may take on, monsters may use a wish for a figurine of a vorpal jabberwock, and they cannot be genocided.

Reference
SLASH'EM_0.0.7E7F2/monst.c#line2683
The SLASH'EM version of the vorpal jabberwock possesses no beheading attack, will not grow up from a regular jabberwock, does not generate in Gehennom, and is not especially vulnerable to being decapitated by Vorpal Blade.
SpliceHack
SpliceHack's vorpal jabberwock acts mostly like SLASH'EM's version, except that Vorpal Blade will still always decapitate it.
Encyclopedia entry
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
[ Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll ] |
# Forum:Can you wish for an altar
i was just reading about wishing and was wondering dose anebody know if you can wish for am alter???
Only in wizard mode, where you can wish for most dungeon features (lava, pools of water, fountains, etc). In a normal game, you can't. There's always a convertible altar in minetown; if you have a spare wish you can wish for a means to kill the priest if he's cross-aligned, such as a wand of death or a figurine of an Archon, and then convert the altar. -Ion frigate 02:32, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
Neither the wand of death or the figurine is absolutely failsafe, though; the figurine might not turn out tame, and the priest has a small chance of being generated with a cloak of magic resistance (which eliminates the wand of death -- I had a scary experience with the High Priest of Moloch resisting my death zaps once, but that's another story). The aligned priest page has information about converting temples (probably the best way is to use a scroll of earth to make a boulder fort, have reflection, and kill the priest from a distance). I don't do this, though, so don't take my advice too much. -- Slandor 16:44, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

# Kick
In NetHack, you can kick objects, monsters, and dungeon features using ctrl + d (or k, if the number_pad option is on). Kicking anything (an object, a monster, or a dungeon feature) makes noise that wakes up nearby monsters and attracts pets.
Some monsters kick as part of their attack sequence. If you are polymorphed into such a monster, you will kick enemies automatically when you attack them in melee - you can use the kick command if you only want to kick the enemy without using other attacks such as a pony's bite or a unicorn's headbutt.
Monks and Samurai get a bonus to kicking because of their martial arts training.

Restrictions on kicking
You can't kick if:
You are carrying too much (stressed or greater).
You are trapped in a pit, web, or bear trap.
One of your legs is wounded.
You are polymorphed into a reptile, a monster that is tiny or one that lacks legs (e.g. a slithy creature).
Trying to kick while underwater has a 50% chance of failing ("Your slow motion kick doesn't hit anything.")[1]
If you kick while levitating and hit something (a monster, a wall), you will hurtle in the opposite direction.
If you are riding, the only thing you can kick is your steed, and the game will ask you if you want to do so. Kicking your steed is one way to make it temporarily move faster, but at the cost of reducing its tameness.
Kicking objects
If you kick an object, it flies in the direction of kicking, possibly hitting the monsters, except the following:
Target
Effect
Pile of objects
Only the top object in pile is kicked.
Stack of gold
Scatters the gold pieces across surrounding tiles.[2]
Immobile objects (too heavy, against a wall, fixed in place)
May wound your leg for a short time, making you unable to kick and reducing your carrying capacity.
Heavy object
"Thump!" The object does not move. This has a chance of doing damage to you as if you kicked a wall. Whether the object is heavy or not, determined by it's weight, player's strength, and other factors (see #maximal distance below).
Fragile object
Causes it to shatter. If the object is a potion, you will inhale its vapors and experience their effects.
Locked container
May break the lock. This is also likely to break fragile items like potions inside it, ("You hear a muffled shatter.")
Mimic disguised as an object
Reveals the mimic.
Object embedded in a wall
May release the object ("The
<item> comes loose!") and deposit it on the floor where you are standing. This is an alternative to digging the object loose.
Cockatrice corpse
If you are not wearing boots, results in immediate stoning.
Kicking a cursed scroll of scare monster will not cause it to crumble, as picking it up would. This is one way to move scrolls that have become cursed.
Maximal distance
The distance the kicked object moves is S/2 - W/40[3], where S is the player's strength, W is the object's weight, with the following caveats:
If the player's strength is 18/01 to 18/31, S=18[4]
If the player's strength is 18/32 to 19 inclusively, S is effectively 20
Each of the following adds 1-3 to the kicking distance:
The object is in air (at Plane of Air) or on ice
The object is greased, and not underwater or in air
The player is a Samurai or Monk, wearing kicking boots, or polymorphed to a sasquatch.
If the object is under water, the distance is D/3 + 1, where D is the distance it would move otherwise.
The distance is from the player, so a distance of 1 or less means that the object does not move at all. In this case it is considered too heavy: the player receives a "Thump!" message and possibly wounds their legs.
Otherwise, the object moves the distance unless stopped by an obstacle.
Kicking dungeon features
A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:
"Per 3.6.3: "When players injure themselves kicking an altar, the relevant god's wrath is no longer ignored." This implies significant effects on anger, and the article should be updated accordingly."
Target
Effect
Empty space
Has a chance of abusing strength and wounding your leg. ("Dumb move! You strain a muscle.")
Closed door
May break the door, leaving an empty doorway. Breaking a shop door will anger the shopkeeper unless you immediately pay 400 zorkmids. The act of kicking exercises dexterity. Successfully breaking doors exercises strength.
Sink
May create a foocubus (always of the opposite gender), a black pudding, or a random ring. Only one of each can come from a given sink.
Altar
With a 1/3 probability, hurts you as if you were kicking a wall. Otherwise, if co-aligned, immediately reduces your wisdom by one point; if cross-aligned, reduces luck by one point.
Tree
May create some fruit (e.g. apples or pears), or a swarm of killer bees. Either event can only happen once per tree.
Throne
May knock loose some gold and gems (only once per throne) or send you to a lower dungeon level. If the throne has already produced gems and gold or your luck is negative, kicking may destroy it.
Wall
Does a small amount of damage to you ("Ouch! That hurts!") with a chance of hurting your leg.
Secret door
May reveal the door. "Crash! You kick open a secret door!" or "Crash! You uncover a secret door!" If your luck is low, this may be a faster way to make a suspected secret door appear than searching.
Kicking monsters
Kicking monsters can damage them.
The base kicking damage is based on your strength, constitution, dexterity and whether you are wearing kicking boots. The exact formula is
where is 5 if wearing kicking boots and 0 otherwise.
Usually, this will come up to 1d7 - 1d8 with kicking boots or 1d2 - 1d3 without.
If your kick is 'clumsy', this base damage is halved. (This is not quite the same thing as "Your clumsy kick does no damage", but related.) Kicks can be clumsy if you are:
Wearing bulky body armor (dragon scales and dragon scale mail are considered bulky, as is any form of body armor that weighs 350 or more; all other body armors are non-bulky)
Wearing a large shield, which is also considered bulky
Carrying a heavy load (more than 70% of your carrying capacity, with higher probability to be clumsy at 80%, and guaranteed at 90%)
Fumbling.
If you are a martial artist (monk or samurai), there is a random damage bonus between 0 and half your dexterity. This exercises the martial arts skill, but the skill level does not affect the amount of bonus damage.
If you are wearing blessed boots, you deal an additional 1d4 damage against demons and undead creatures.
The enchantment of your boots is added to the total damage amount, plus the enchantment of any rings of increase damage you are wearing or have eaten.
Thick-skinned monsters like dragons and mumakil take no base damage from a kick. Rings of increase damage, enchanted boots, and blessed boots will still cause their normal damage.[5]
If you attempt to kick a shade with unblessed boots, your foot will pass through it, doing no damage. You can only damage a shade by kicking if your boots are blessed, and even then the only damage comes from the 1d4 bonus versus undead.
If you are polymorphed into a sasquatch, you will get a bonus to kicking because you are (a) 'bigfoot'.
There is a +1 to hit bonus to kicking, even if you are unskilled in martial arts, so it may be a useful strategy for fighting a monster you are having trouble hitting (like a ghost).
Kicking a sleeping monster will wake it up. (As usual, the noise from kicking wakes up all sleeping monsters nearby.)
When levitating, kicking larger monsters will propel you farther, and very small monsters will be more difficult to hit.
With the right training or equipment, you can sometimes send smaller monsters reeling back a square—perhaps into a trap.
Limitations to kicking monsters
Kicking monsters can displace them to a random point adjacent to you, even if they couldn't normally reach that spot: "The monster jumps (or swoops, slides, etc.), nimbly avoiding your kick." This is more likely to happen if you are fumbling or burdened. It is also more likely to happen with flying monsters such as bats.
Kicking a cockatrice without wearing boots will result in stoning.
Kicking a pet is considered abuse.[6]

# Robe (SLASH'EM)
In SLASH'EM, robes in general are fairly different from their vanilla cousins. Firstly, they are no longer cloaks, but instead fill the body armor slot. Lighter even than leather armor, they do not interfere with spellcasting (as all other armors do in SLASH'EM, even dragon scale mail) or a monk's melee abilities or AC bonus (but will remove a doppelganger's AC bonus). Secondly, there are now magic robes, and all robes have a randomized appearance. Lastly, no robe provides any magic cancellation.
The randomized appearances for robes are red, orange, green and blue robes.
Contents
1 Robe
2 Robe of protection
3 Robe of weakness
3.1 Strategy
4 Robe of power
Robe
The most basic robe is simply a piece of armor. It is the only robe that can be distinguished by price, costing 25 zm instead of 50. It is also frequently found being worn by wraiths.

A robe of protection has a considerably higher base AC than other robes, but confers no special abilities. Its chief use is that it provides a decent amount of AC and does not interfere with spellcasting or a monk's martial arts abilities. Most characters will prefer a good mithril suit or dragon scale mail, but a monk or an early wizard might find one of these robes desirable.

A robe of weakness is not a desirable item to wear: it sets your strength to 3. Its effect will cancel if combined with gauntlets of power.
Strategy
Unfortunately, it is not possible to distinguish these robes from robes of power or protection through price identification. Moreover, these robes are usually generated cursed, so trying on random base-cost 50 robes is not a good idea. In general, one should use an altar to identify cursed robes to avoid these; 3 strength is a major handicap.
If you can get one that is not cursed, you can use it to make exercise of strength more effective.

Why does this exist in the main namespace? It's just a list of names, with no real connection to NetHack. Better would be to put it under your user page. --paxed (talk) 06:46, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
All done now. I'm glad just to be able to post my theories somewhere. This wiki is an awesome resource. I guess your mileage may vary as to the perception of connections or otherwise. I'd respond by saying "this is your history". Thanks for commenting. Wikid (talk) 07:58, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
Thanks! I'm not opposed to people putting up their own stuff, if it is even tangentially NetHack related, as long as it doesn't "pollute" the main namespace - eg. Special:Random picks articles from there. --paxed (talk) 08:01, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
Aha! Thanks, I see what you mean about Special:Random, and confess I hadn't thought of it. I appreciate the namespace sensitivity. Nethack is complex enough already! Wikid (talk) 08:10, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
The "unusual hoon" actually exists in SLEX already and it's a grue :) I'm looking forward to seeing what all those other cool-sounding monsters could be though, because those names sound so alien that I have no idea what they're all about (never read the literature they're based on)! --Bluescreenofdeath (talk) 09:27, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
I'll have to go back to the source myself. It's about time I revisited it. Pretty much all I can remember is that deodands wore a leather harness. Also in Old English (and until 1846 in English law), deodand was an object that had been instrumental in killing someone. Wikid (talk) 09:42, 6 August 2019 (UTC) |

The game options affect the look and feel of the game.
They can be changed:
permanently in the configuration file at one of the following locations:
Windows (as of Nethack 3.6.2): .nethackrc located in %USERPROFILE%\NetHack\)
DOS and Windows (before 3.6.2): defaults.nh in the same directory as nethack.exe or nethackW.exe)
Unix (unix-based or unix-like systems, including macOS and Linux): ~/.nethackrc
pre-OSX-Mac and BeOS: NetHack Defaults
Amiga, Atari, OS/2 and VMS: NetHack.cnf
temporarily by using the in-game options screen, accessible by pressing shift + o in the game
each time the game is run, on the command line.
when the game is compiled.
There are two types of options, boolean and compound options. Boolean options toggle a setting on or off, while compound options take more diverse values.
Configuration file
Options are usually prefixed by 'OPTIONS=' on each line.
Name a boolean option in the configuration file to turn it on, and prefix it with 'no' or '!' to turn it off. Options can be combined into one line for brevity:
OPTIONS=boulder:0, color, autodig, !cmdassist, norest_on_space
For compound options, the option name and value are separated by a colon:
OPTIONS=catname:Mirri
The above two lines set boulder to 0, enable color and autodig, disable cmdassist and rest_on_space, and set your cat's name to Mirri.
Any line beginning with a '#' is a comment; i.e. the line is ignored.
Persistent options: Some options are marked persistent, and are saved and reloaded along with the game. Changing a persistent option in the configuration file applies only to new games.
If a configuration file does not exist, create a new one that's appropriate for your system with a text file editor. (For Mac macOS Terminal, use ~/.nethackrc instead of NetHack Defaults)
In-game
The in-game configuration menu is brought up by pressing shift + o. It is similar to an item selection menu, where you use alphabetic letters to select which options to change. Boolean options are toggled on or off, while you are prompted to enter new values for compound options.
Some options cannot be changed in-game.
Command line
You can also set options from the command line by setting the NETHACKOPTIONS environment variable. If the value starts with '\' or '/' or '@', it is considered to be a config file name. For example:
NETHACKOPTIONS=boulder:0, color, autodig
or
NETHACKOPTIONS=@/home/username/.nethackrc
Options
AUTOCOMPLETE
Enable or disable autocompletion when entering particular extended commands. Listing them in a comma-separated list enables, prefixing with ! disables. Example:
AUTOCOMPLETE=zap,!annotate
acoustics
Enable messages about what your character hears. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE.
align
Your starting alignment. Compound option, with possible values of lawful, neutral, chaotic, or random. The first letter may be given alone. Prefix with ! to exclude that alignment from being picked randomly. Cannot be set in-game. Example that excludes chaotic:
OPTIONS=align:!c
autodescribe
Automatically describe the terrain under cursor when asked to get a location on the map. The whatis_coord option controls whether the description includes map coordinates. It can be toggled by typing # while targeting.
autodig
Automatically dig, if you're wielding a digging tool and moving into a place that can be dug. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
autoopen
Walking into a door attempts to open it. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Persistent.
autopickup
Main article: Autopickup
Automatically pick up things onto which you move. See also pickup_types, pickup_burden, pickup_thrown, and Autopickup_exceptions. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game.
AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTION
Main article: Autopickup_exception
Autopickup exceptions allow you to specify particular expression matches for more nuanced autopickup usage. See the main article for usage information.
autoquiver
Automatically quiver some suitable weapon if your quiver empties when firing. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
BIND
Change the key bindings of special keys, menu accelerators, or extended commands. You can specify multiple bindings for a single command. The format is a comma-separated list, with colon-separated keybinding and command. A binding overrides an existing key usage. Example:
BIND=!:loot,^v:untrap,M-x:terrain
See Binding keys for a more detailed description and a list of bindable special commands.
blind
Start the character permanently blind. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Persistent.
bones
Allow saving and loading bones files. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Persistent.
boulder
Set the symbol used to display boulders. For example boulder:0
Compound option with default value of `. Can be set in-game.
Can also be defined using ASCII value, and without the OPTIONS prefix simply as
BOULDER=48
For example, BOULDER=64 would be equal to OPTIONS=boulder:@.
See also Custom map symbols#BOULDER
This option has been superseded by the SYMBOLS= format described in the symset option, though this method still functions.
catname
Set the name of your starting cat. Compound option, and it cannot be set within game. See also dogname and horsename. Example:
OPTIONS=catname:Whiskers
character
Synonym for role.
checkpoint
Save game state after each level change, for possible recovery after program crash. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game.
checkspace
Check free disk space before writing files to disk. You may have to turn this off if you have more than 2 GB free space on the partition used for your save and level files. A boolean option, defaults to on. Only applies when MFLOPPY was defined during compilation.
CHOOSE
Choose at random one of the comma-separated parameters as an active section name. Lines in other sections are ignored. This allows for a fine-tuned options set for particular roles. Example:
CHOOSE=char A,char B
[char A]
OPTIONS=role:arc,race:dwa,align:law,gender:fem
[char B]
OPTIONS=role:wiz,race:elf,align:cha,gender:mal
clicklook
Allows looking at things on the screen by navigating the mouse over them and clicking the right mouse button. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE.
cmdassist
NetHack provides some additional command assistance when it detects some anticipated mistakes. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game.
confirm
Have user confirm attacks on peaceful creatures. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
dark_room
Draw unseen (line-of-sight blocked) areas of lit rooms as if they were unlit. Boolean value, defaults to FALSE. Persistent.
disclose
Controls the prompts at the end of the game. Possible values are
i - disclose your inventory
a - disclose your attributes
v - summarize monsters you've killed
g - list genocided monsters

Each of those values can be preceded with a value that tells how it behaves. The possible values are
y - prompt, defaults to yes
n - prompt, defaults to no
+ - disclose without prompting
- - don't disclose, don't prompt
The listing of killed monsters can be sorted, so there are two additional choices for v:
? - prompt you and default to ask on the prompt;
# - disclose it without prompting, ask for sort order.
For example
OPTIONS=disclose:yi na +v -g -c -o
Persistent.

For backwards compatibility, number_pad without a value is synonymous to number_pad:1.
packorder
Sets the order of item classes shown in inventory. Compound option, takes a string of up to 14 characters, with default values of ")[%?+!=/(*`0_. Omitted types are filled in at the end from the previous order. Can be set in-game. Persistent.

all
turn on all of the above
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (NetHack 3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
This commit introduces paranoid_confirmation:swim, which will prevent you from walking onto water or lava unless you prefix the movement with m.
By default, the pray choice is enabled, the others disabled. To disable it without setting any of the other choices, use paranoid_confirmation:none. To keep it enabled while setting any of the others, include it in the list:
OPTIONS=paranoid_confirmation:attack pray Remove
perm_invent
Show permanent inventory window. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Not used on TTY. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
pettype
Sets your preferred pet type. A compound option, with possible value of cat, dog, or use none to start a game without a pet. Cannot be set in-game.
pickup_burden
Prompt for confirmation before picking up items that will push the character's encumbrance past a given level -- Unencumbered, Burdened, streSsed, straiNed, Overtaxed, or overLoaded. This will not prompt the player when picking up a loadstone.[1] Defaults to S. Persistent.
pickup_thrown
If this option is on and autopickup is also on, try to pick up things that you threw, even if they aren't in pickup_types or match an autopickup exception. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Persistent.
pickup_types
Specify the object types to be picked up when autopickup is on. Default is all to pick up all types. For example "pickup_types:?!/" would pick up all scrolls, potions and wands. Persistent.
pile_limit
When walking across a pile of objects on the floor, threshold at which the message "there are few/several/many objects here" is given instead of showing a popup list of those objects. A value of 0 means "no limit" (always list the objects); a value of 1 effectively means "never show the objects" since the pile size will always be at least that big; default value is 5. Persistent.
playmode
Values are normal, explore, or debug. Allows selection of explore mode (also known as discovery mode) or debug mode (also known as wizard mode) instead of normal play. Debug mode might only be allowed for someone logged in under a particular user name (on multi-user system) or it might be disabled entirely. Requesting it when not allowed or not possible results in explore mode instead. NAO has both Explore and Debug modes disabled entirely. Default is normal play.
pushweapon
If you wield something when you are already wielding something else, the old weapon is pushed into the alternate weapon slot. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
race
Set your character's race. A compound option, with possible values of human, elf, dwarf, gnome, orc, or random, with default of random. If you prefix a ! to the value, you can exclude that race from being picked randomly. Cannot be set in-game. Persistent.
rest_on_space

Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
role
Set your character's role. Can also be random. A compound option. See name option for an alternate method of specifying your role. Normally only the first letter of the value is examined, with r being the exception with Rogue, Ranger, and random values. If you prefix an option with !, you can exclude that role from being picked randomly. Cannot be set in-game. Persistent.
roguesymset
This option may be used to select one of the named symbol sets found within the symbols file to alter the symbols displayed on the screen on the rogue level.
rlecomp
When writing out a save file, perform a run length compression of the map. Not all ports support run length compression. It has no effect on reading an existing save file.
runmode
Set the screen updating interval for multi-turn actions, eg. running or traveling. Can be set in-game. Compound option with the following possible values:
Option
Description
teleport
update the map after movement has finished
run
update the map after every seven or so steps (default)
walk
update the map after each step
crawl
like walk, but pause briefly after each step
safe_pet
Prevents you from (knowingly) attacking your pet by moving into it. TRUE is the best setting as attacking a pet, should you wish to, is easily accomplished using the fight command. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game.
sanity_check
This option turns on debugging output, and is only available in wizard mode. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE.
scores
Control what part of hiscore list to show at the end of game. Compound option. Can be set in-game. Persistent. Accept the following options, separated by spaces:

Xa - show X scores around own score
Xt - show X scores from the top
For example:
OPTIONS=scores:10t 2a o
showexp
Displays the exact number of experience points next to your experience level on the status line. Useful for seeing how close you are to the next level, but it may increase the length of the status line a lot, pushing important notifications (like Hungry, Ill, FoodPois, etc.) off the end.
Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
showrace
Uses the symbol for your race instead of @. That's h for dwarves, o for orcs and G for gnomes. Elves are still @. This could be useful for reminding you not to genocide your racial glyph but is not widely used. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game.
showscore
Shows your approximate accumulated score on the bottom line. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game. Persistent. Only available if NetHack was compiled with SCORE_ON_BOTL.
silent
Stops your terminal's bell sounding. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
sortloot
Controls the sorting behavior of the pickup lists for inventory and #loot commands and some others. Persistent. The possible values are:
Option
Description
full
always sort the lists
loot
only sort the lists that don't use inventory letters, like with the #loot and pickup commands
none
show lists the traditional way without sorting
sortpack
Groups similar kinds of objects in your inventory. TRUE is highly recommended. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
SOUND
Main article: User sounds
Allows user-defined sound file to be played when a message is shown.
sparkle
Display sparkly effect for resisted magical attacks (e.g. a fire attack on a fire-resistant monster). It can be helpful to turn this off on the Plane of Fire, otherwise a dozen or more sparkles will occur per turn. See also timed_delay.
Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
standout
Uses standout mode (reverse video) for displaying "--More--". Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
status_updates
Allow updates to the status lines at the bottom of the screen (default true).
statushilites
Controls how many turns status hilite behaviors highlight the field. If negated or set to zero, disables status hiliting.
Only useful when you have status hilite rules configured; see the hilite_status option for more information.
statuslines
Allows you to choose whether your status bar has 2 or 3 lines. Can also be set during the game. Your user interface must support at least 25 rows, when using the value of 3. This is especially useful in Curses interface.
suppress_alert
Prevent alert notification messages about feature changes in a NetHack version and the previous versions. Compound option, accepts a string describing a NetHack version. Can be set in-game. Currently only one use, which is to prevent the quiver and quit-command changes:

SYMBOLS=S_boulder:0
SYMBOLS=S_golem:7
SYMBOLS=S_ghost:8
For a complete list of symbol names, please see the symset article.
time
Displays elapsed game time, in turns, on the status line. Very useful for estimating prayer timeouts, spell lifespan, and more. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
timed_delay
On TTY interfaces (unix and VMS), use a timer instead of sending extra screen output when attempting to pause for a display effect. On MSDOS without the termcap lib, chooses whether or not to pause for visual effect. See also sparkle.
Boolean option, defaults to TRUE if configured into the program. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
tombstone
Prints an ASCII tombstone when you die. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
toptenwin
Prints the top ten high scores in a window rather than stdout. This isn't very useful unless you are using a GUI version. Boolean option, defaults to FALSE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
travel
Enables the travel command. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
verbose
Chooses whether or not to display certain non-essential messages, such as doors being destroyed. Boolean option, defaults to TRUE. Can be set in-game. Persistent.
vt_tiledata
Main article: vt_tiledata
Boolean option. Turning it on will output extra information in the datastream in the form of escape code "ESC [ ... z", meant for graphical frontends. See also EbonHack.
whatis_coord
When using the / (what is) or ; (far look) commands to look around on the map with autodescribe on, display coordinates after the description. Also works in other situations where you are asked to pick a location.
The possible settings are:
c - compass ('east' or '3s' or '2n,4w')
f - full compass ('east' or '3south' or '2north,4west')
m - map
<x,y> (map column x=0 is not used)
s - screen [row,column] (row is offset to match tty usage)
n - none (no coordinates shown). Default.
The whatis_coord option is also used with the sub-commands m, M, o, and O when using /, where the 'none' setting is overridden with 'map'.
whatis_filter
When using the m, o, d, x or a keys to select a location on the map, allows filtering the possible targets. It can be set by typing " while targeting. It can be set to:
n - no filtering (default)
v - in view only
a - in same area only (e.g. same room or same corridor)
The area-filter tries to be slightly predictive; if you're standing on a doorway, it will consider the area on the side of the door you were last moving toward.
whatis_menu
When using the m, o, d, x or a keys to select a location on the map, uses a menu to pick a target. Otherwise, typing a lowercase letter will cycle through targets from nearest to furthest, and an uppercase letter from furthest to nearest. It can be toggled by typing ! while targeting. Boolean, default off.
whatis_moveskip
When selecting a location on the map, and using shifted movement keys or meta-digit keys to fast-move, instead of moving 8 units at a time, move by skipping the same glyphs. It can be toggled by typing * while targeting. Boolean, default off.
windowtype
Select which windowing system to use, such as tty or X11 (default depends on version). Cannot be set in-game. Example:
OPTIONS=windowtype:tty
wizkit
Wizard mode-only option. Specifies the path to a text file that contains a list of item names, one per line, up to a maximum of 128 lines. Each line is processed by the function that handles wishing.
For example, if you enter this path to a text file in your config:
WIZKIT=wizkit.txt
And the contents of wizkit.txt are:
blessed monster detection
ring of levitation
amulet of yendor
2 blessed genocide
Then your character start with those items in their inventory, in addition to the normal starting items.
zerocomp
When writing out a save file, perform zero-comp compression of the contents. Not all ports support zero-comp compression. It has no effect on reading an existing save file.
Window Port Customization Options

An arrow is a projectile that can be thrown but is best used with a bow.
Besides the standard arrow shown here, there are several other types:
elven arrow
orcish arrow
silver arrow
ya (samurai arrow)
It is easy to obtain a large supply of arrows by untrapping an arrow trap.
As with many projectiles, arrows may break and disappear when they hit a monster. See Projectile#Breakage for more information.

Using arrows
Although not necessary to throw or fire arrows, the best use of arrows is with an appropriate launcher.
The character must wield a bow and then throw arrows for them to be most effective. This process can be streamlined by quivering arrows and then using the fire command, but this is simply a convenience and is not necessary. However, crossbow bolts will not be fired from a wielded bow—they must be used with a crossbow instead.
The range for an arrow is when you are wielding a bow[1][2], and when you are not[3]:

Along with other cursed missile weapons or launchers, cursed arrows occasionally "slip from your hand" when you throw or fire them, and end up on the ground.
Since arrows are used with a bow, they are affected by bow skill.

Barbarian, Knight, Priest, Tourist

Multishot
The number of arrows shot at once depends on the character's bow skill. You will shoot 1 arrow at a time at unskilled or basic skill, up to 2 arrows at skilled, and up to 3 at expert. There is a +1 bonus to this counter for rangers, and an additional +1 for elven characters shooting elven arrows from an elven bow, orcish characters shooting orcish arrows from an orcish bow, and samurai shooting ya from a yumi. This means, for example, an elven ranger using elven arrows and an elven bow can fire up to 5 arrows at once.
Average damage calculation
The average damage calculations in the following table do not include bonuses from weapon skills or from using a blessed weapon against undead or demons. However, these bonuses apply per arrow, so they may cause far more damage than when attacking in melee.
The calculations for poisoned arrows assume the monster is not poison resistant.

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
[ The Arrow and the Song,

# The Computer Level
The Computer Level is a special level present in NetHack: The Next Generation, which has also been added to SlashTHEM.
The Computer Level is notable for its hostile computers, and for several items which in NHTNG are only generated on the level.
Contents
1 Layout
2 Items
2.1 Ring of timely backup
2.2 Scroll of root password detection
2.3 Amulet of data storage
2.4 Wand of bugging
Layout
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------||<...|.....................................................................||-+--|.....................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||..........................................................................||.....................................................................|--+-||.....................................................................|...>||--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The layout of the Computer Level is simple: a big room with the upstairs and downstairs in small enclosures in opposite corners.
Randomly located throughout the level are a PDP-9, PDP-11, VAX, and a Cray (all using the x symbol); a news daemon, a printer daemon, and a UNIX Kernel (all using the & symbol), and six bugs and two heisenbugs (all x).
At random locations on the ground are a ring of timely backup, a scroll of root password detection, amulet of data storage, and a wand of bugging.
In SlashTHEM there is a second variation of this level in which the designated computers and bugs are replaced by random monsters that use the x symbol, and the daemons and UNIX Kernel are replaced by random &. A third contains the original monsters as well as: a random I, two random sea monsters, and a number of boulders, eggs, scrolls, corpses, and other items.
Items
In NHTNG these items are only generated on the Computer Level, and are all (with the exception of the wand of bugging) nonfunctional, only displaying a humorous message when worn/read. They will disappear from your inventory if you leave the level with them.
In SlashTHEM these items may be randomly generated, do not disappear from your inventory, and have more serious implications for gameplay.

Putting on the ring of timely backup returns the message "You feel absolutely safe." This sense of security is misleading, as the ring does not affect you in any way, except occupying one of your ring slots.
In SlashTHEMmonsters can use the ring of timely backup to heal themselves, reducing its enchantment by one point each time.

Monster use
May be used defensively by monsters.
Reading the scroll of root password detection reveals the supposed "root password" of your computer: "xyzzy" if uncursed, "memalezu" if blessed, and "jsdfljfdsh" if cursed. This revelation does not impact your gameplay in any way, except using up a turn.
In SlashTHEM a monster that reads this scroll can levelport. Many unique monsters (including demon princes and lords) will be generated with this scroll, which they will use to escape the player if their health gets low.
XYZZY is also the random text label associated with this scroll in the code, though as the scroll appearance is randomized this will rarely be its actual appearance. "Xyzzy" is a reference to Colossal Cave Adventure, one of the first adventure video games. Entering the command "xyzzy" in a certain room of the cave sends the player immediately to another room some distance away, effectively serving as a shortcut. The word has been referenced in many games (and even some non-game programs) as an homage to this early game.

Putting on the amulet of data storage returns the message: "You feel full of knowledge." and taking it off will display "You feel intellectually poor." As ominous as this may sound, it does not affect you in any way.
In SlashTHEM (post version 0.7.0) the amulet slows spell memory loss to 2/3 of its usual rate and protects against the effects of amnesia, when worn by the player. This function is inspired by the Ring of Memory patch.

# Talk:Patching
Can someone please expand on this? As a windoze programmer I have never used patch and am trying to apply the vs2005 patch and it keeps failing and I do not understand why...
missing header for context diff at line 13 of patch
I assume you're speaking of this patch. I unpacked nethack's sources, and downloaded the vc2005-file in the source root directory, and typed
patch -p0 < vc2005
in the command line, which seems to work ok for me, but I'm on linux... Haven't tried compiling nethack with that patch either. --Paxed 14:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Using cygwin helps. I tried using a windows binary of patch, but that didn't work too well. I eventually installed cygwin and used that to apply a patch (menucolors) and it worked.Addps4cat 13:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

5 Thoughts on expanding this article, help for source-diving newbies
Now what?
Well everything went all right, except that none of the patches still took any effect. I concluded that they'd have no way of knowing where my SLASH'EM is, so I copy-pasted all them files to the source directory. Still no effect.
What did I do wrong?
What?
I'd like to use this moment to say: WHAT?! This instruction is completely incomprehensible!
"note: On MS-Windows, the patchfile must be a text file, i.e. CR-LF must be used as line endings. A file with LF may give the error: "Assertion failed, hunk, file patch.c, line 343," unless the option '--binary' is given."
What's the patchfile? What does CR-LF mean? What does "line ending" mean? What option "--binary"? What the hell is going on here? I know that the majority of NetHack players are Computer geeks, but you don't have to make it even harder for normal people than it already is!

How???
After I start "patch.exe -p1 < file", the only thing tat came out was this blank cmd screen.What went wrong??I'm am using Win7.--WillyPillow (talk) 09:54, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Windows 7 (and Vista) require administrative privileges to run any file with "patch" in the name, this breaks the "patch.exe -p1 < file" command. This works as a workaround:
1. Rename patch.exe to patsh.exe.
2. Then create patch.bat in the same directory containing the following command:
@patsh.exe %*

Thoughts on expanding this article, help for source-diving newbies
I'm considering applying "stub" to this article, because it seems like we can do a lot to expand it. I don't know enough about modifying the source code to do it myself. In particular, it seems like these two big areas aren't being considered in this article:
Patching on non-Windows operating systems
Building a diff file (thus creating, rather than applying a patch)
The second point is a big one because even though we have a page on diff I can't find any tutorials on how to use it, and when I tried using rdiff in cygwin it threw back an error because it's only useful for individual files and not directories. I'm understandably annoyed because this means rdiff is useless for larger projects.
For an open-source project, you'd think there would be a lot more documentation on modifying NetHack's source code. - Crawldragon (talk|nao|wiki) 16:55, 19 October 2014 (UTC) |
# End Game
For the stage in the game, see Ascension Run.
The End Game is the term NetHack uses to refer to the dungeon branch containing the Elemental Planes and the Astral Plane. The branch is internally referred to as the Elemental Planes, although the Astral Plane is considered separate from them.
To enter the End Game, you must take the up staircase on the the first floor of the dungeon or else quaff a cursed potion of gain level while holding the Amulet of Yendor. Once you enter this branch, you cannot return to the Dungeons of Doom. All of the Planes are no-teleport and have undiggable floors, so it is impossible to move backwards to an earlier plane or to return to any of the earlier dungeon branches.
The term "Endgame" also refers to the predecessor of the Astral Plane, present in the game from NetHack 3.0.0 to 3.0.10. |

A manticore:

is an animal.
can see invisible creatures.
is poisonous to eat.
is carnivorous.
is nasty.
is strong.
can be seen through infravision.
appears only in Gehennom.
cannot be tamed.
The manticore is a feline in dNetHack with multiple melee attacks, a poisonous sting, and a paralyzing ranged attack. Without free action or some other means of resistance, the manticore's ranged paralysis attack is not to be taken lightly, as a player could be quickly incapacitated and killed.
The manticore is a true monster, with a leonine torso and legs,
batlike wings, a man's head, a tail tipped with iron spikes, and
an appetite for human flesh.
The manticore stands 6 feet tall at the shoulder and measures 15
feet in length. It has a 25-foot wingspan. Each section of the
manticore closely resembles the creature it imitates. The leonine
torso has a tawny hide, the mane is a lion's brown-black color,
and the batlike wings are a dark brown with sparse hair. All
manticores have heads that resemble human males; the mane
resembles a heavy beard and long hair.
In combat, the manticore fires volleys of 1-6 tail spikes.
The spikes are coated in a paralyzing venom.

Generation
Hobgoblins are frequently found in throne rooms. They will be generated with an orcish helm 50% of the time, and they also have a 50% chance of receiving a weapon (either an scimitar or an orcish dagger with equal chance). [1]
Strategy
Hobgoblins are relatively weak and slow, and thus usually not a significant threat. As orcish monsters, they are especially useful as sacrifice fodder for orc characters to convert altars with, especially if a throne room occurs on the same floor.
Origin
Wikipedia has an article about:
Hobgoblin
The hobgoblin was originally a helpful spirit of the hearth in folklore once considered helpful, but the spread of Christianity gave it a reputation as a mischievous prankster.
NetHack hobgoblins are borrowed from the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, where the name is used to describe a larger kind of orc. In the preface of The Hobbit, he states that "Orc is not an English word. It occurs in one or two places but is usually translated goblin (or hobgoblin for the larger kinds)".
Encyclopedia entry
Hobgoblin. Used by the Puritans and in later times for
wicked goblin spirits, as in Bunyan's "Hobgoblin nor foul
friend", but its more correct use is for the friendly spirits
of the brownie type. In "A midsummer night's dream" a
fairy says to Shakespeare's Puck:
Those that Hobgoblin call you, and sweet Puck,
You do their work, and they shall have good luck:
Are you not he?
and obviously Puck would not wish to be called a hobgoblin
if that was an ill-omened word.
Hobgoblins are on the whole, good-humoured and ready to be
helpful, but fond of practical joking, and like most of the
fairies rather nasty people to annoy. Boggarts hover on the
verge of hobgoblindom. Bogles are just over the edge.
One Hob mentioned by Henderson, was Hob Headless who haunted
the road between Hurworth and Neasham, but could not cross
the little river Kent, which flowed into the Tess. He was
exorcised and laid under a large stone by the roadside for
ninety-nine years and a day. If anyone was so unwary as to
sit on that stone, he would be unable to quit it for ever.
The ninety-nine years is nearly up, so trouble may soon be
heard of on the road between Hurworth and Neasham.

# Talk:Mines' End
By 'E' at the end, to do you mean Elbereth, a monster with the letter E? Just wondering if this could be made clearer, maybe with a link.
I used a scroll of teleportation and it threw me one floor above. I think it should be mentioned... K00pa 14:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Cursed scrolls of teleportation will cause you to level teleport. This can put you any number of floors up (or down) the same branch of the dungeon you are in, with "zero" teleporting you around on the same level. It is not an effect unique to the level of Mine's End. -- Kalon 21:43, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
In the Mimic Of The Mines I found a barrow wight behind one of the secret doors. 89.161.1.116 12:35, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
Catacombs strategy
Is there a recommended strategy to get the luck and/or flintstones off the level teleport traps in the Catacombs? If you use autopickup exceptions, and you don't have "gray stones" as one of your always-pickups (which it seems like you shouldn't), without a CoMR or GDSM to block the effect of the traps, I am not sure how to do it. Delbow 03:48, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Jump into the trap. If you walk into a level porter, it gets destroyed. So any source of teleport control or MR will let you get to the stone without incident, otherwise you just need to run around the map some more. The real problem is that it isn't just flint stones and luck stones; you might get a load stone that you can't do a kick test for. A wand of teleportation will move the stone someplace where you can probably kick it (you might need a pickaxe) - this will also let you circumvent the trap itself, but you'll need to find the stone afterwards. A wand of cancellation will uncurse a potential loadstone before you pick it up, and anything else for removing a curse afterwards. Be sure to #name the stone if you pick up a load stone! -- Qazmlpok 04:02, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Undead Monsters in Catacombs
I've noticed that, aside from mentioning the 2 random V, there is no special mention of undead in the catacombs. I'm just working from many past experiences here, but aren't there a few others? Is monster generation biased towards undead? I won't add anything though because I don't know the exact nature. 108.196.206.15 02:38, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Encyclopedia entry
These giant amoeboid creatures look like nothing more than
puddles of slime, but they both live and move, feeding on
metal or wood as well as the occasional dungeon explorer to
supplement their diet.
But we were not on a station platform. We were on the track ahead
as the nightmare, plastic column of fetid black iridescence oozed
tightly onward through its fifteen-foot sinus, gathering unholy
speed and driving before it a spiral, re-thickening cloud of the
pallid abyss vapor. It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster
than any subway train -- a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic
bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes
forming and unforming as pustules of greenish light all over the
tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic
penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its
kind had swept so evilly free of all litter.

Does a luckstone in a bag still function? For example, if I have found a cursed luckstone, in a bones file, say, can I stash it in a bag without penalty until i can uncurse it? Or would I have to drop it? Also, if someone could look into how luck timeout works, that would be awesome. Thanks! --Andronikus 21:18, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

You are now sysop!
Based on the decision in, NetHackWiki:Community Portal#Style guide on sidebar; More admins and bureaucrats?, you are now a "sysop" = "administrator". This gives you access to a few extra wiki features to help maintain the wiki. It is one way of thanking you for your contributions to NetHackWiki. If you need help with something, you could check w:Help:Administrators' how-to guide or you could ask me, ZeroOne, or Jayt. --Kernigh 02:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Super-HP Ascension
On NAO, you ascended as number 7 on the score list with 1007555/1007555 HP? How the heck do you do that? Fredil Yupigo 23:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm guessing Eidolos made a bot to farm puddings and pray. That does sort of abuse game mechanics and server bandwidth, which is why there's only one instance. --75.177.119.118 09:58, 22 February 2008
Actually it was the polyself bug. Eidolos is so naughty. ContraDuck 12:39, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Hehehe. I saw that ttyrec, why did he keep stoning and unstoning Medusa? Does that do anything at XL30? Fredil Yupigo 00:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
For a billion points in only a few hours. People like telling me they've found my corpses and statues (because I'm in the top ten high score list). Eidolos 02:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Echidna, Mother of Monsters
The goddess fierce Echidna who is half a nymph with glancing eyes and fair cheeks, and half again a huge snake,[1] great and awful, with speckled skin, eating raw flesh beneath the secret parts of the holy earth. And there she has a cave deep down under a hollow rock far from the deathless gods and mortal men. There, then, did the gods appoint her a glorious house to dwell in: and she keeps guard in Arima beneath the earth, grim Echidna, a nymph who dies not nor grows old all her days.
[ Theogony, by Hesiod]
Binding Ritual
Echidna can only be contacted in the Gnomish Mines.
Taboo
You must not throw or eat eggs.
Mark
Your legs become serpents' tails.

Racial benefits and restrictions
Clockwork Automata may be Archeologists, Binders, Knights, Monks, Priests, Samurai or Troubadours. (As androids, they can be Anachrononauts.) They are neutrally or lawfully aligned.
Clockwork automata do not recover HP normally, instead they must stand still ('.') and repair themselves. They will recover HP faster as they gain levels. They may also use potions or other magic to recover hp. Their stats can't be abused or exercised, but they can use potions of gain ability as normal.
Clockwork automata do not eat food, meaning that the ring of slow digestion has no effect. Rather, they must be wound up using any skeleton key. They are not able to do this themselves, instead they must either have one of their allies do it or pay another monster with hands to have it done. Each turn is worth 10 nutrition.
Clockwork automata can drink potions, and potions of oil provide some healing and nutrition. Blood potions may provide resistances.
Clockwork automata can adjust their clockspeed with the #monster command. High speed doubles the automaton's moves per turn, but increases nutrition loss by 4x. Low speed halves the automaton's moves per turn, but reduces normal nutrition use to 1/10 turns. Switching to high speed burns 10 nutrition, while switching to other speeds does not carry a nutrition penalty. Over-wound automata can't maintain low clockspeed, and under-wound automata can't maintain high speed.
Clockwork automata do not breathe and start out with resistance to stoning, poison and sickness. They gain shock res at XL5, cold res at XL10 and fire res at XL15.
Clockwork automatons may sacrifice with impunity (other than gifted pets). They're not specifically exempt from same-race sacrifice, but since all normally spawning clockwork monsters also don't leave corpses, it never becomes an issue.
Clockwork do not benefit from the normal effects of booze, including sanity restoration and your drunkenness counter.
Clockwork automatons interact differently with seduction attacks performed by foocubi and other monsters, with a different set of positive and negative effects that can occur afterward. For foocubi:
If your combined intelligence and charisma are lower than a randomly generated number between 1 and 34, you will either lose an experience level or have a single item stolen from you by the foocubus, with an equal probability of each.
Otherwise, there is a 1⁄5 chance of gaining a level from the encounter - the remaining 4⁄5 of the time, the foocubus will offer to wind you up if you are below half of your maximum nutrition.

Upgrades
Upgrades are not mutually exclusive: you can have one of each and some can be taken multiple times. Any upgrade action consumes an upgrade kit, and other components where applicable as noted below:
Phase engine: Walk through walls, at the cost of 10x nutrition consumption. Activate and deactivate via the #monster menu.
Requires: subethaic component
Stove upgrades: Gain the ability to eat or drink certain kinds of items, in combination with potions of water, to gain nutrition. If you do not drink water while using these upgrades, you will heat up instead of gaining nutrition, adding extra damage to your attacks, but potentially damaging your inventory and melting yourself.
Oil Stove: Gain nutrition from drinking potions of oil in combination with potions of water
Requires: nothing
Wood Stove: Gain nutrition from eating woody corpses or dried tins in combination with potions of water.
Requires: tinning kit
Hellfire Furnace: Gain nutrition from eating almost anything in combination with water, but only 1/10 the normal amount
Requires: hellfire component
Switch Upgrades: Alter how switching clockspeeds using the #monster command works.
Efficient Switch: Switching to high speed mode no longer consumes 10 nutrition
Requires: crossbow
Fast Switch: Switching speeds no longer costs a turn.
Requires: nothing
Armor Plating: Your natural AC bonus goes from 3 to 10.
Requires: archaic plate mail
Magic Furnace: Consume magic items to gain magic energy. Destroys the consumed item
Requires: disenchanter corpse
Scrap Maw: Eat rustable items to regain HP.
Requires: scrap
High Tension Spring: Increase your maximum nutrition by 2000. This upgrade can be take multiple times.
Requires: nothing

The Master Key of Thievery is the Rogue quest artifact. It is the prize for completing the Rogue quest, and is chaotic-aligned. Its base item type is a skeleton key.

Description
When carried, the Master Key of Thievery confers warning, teleport control and half physical damage. Using the Master Key of Thievery for unlocking always succeeds, and a Rogue carrying the Key has improved chances to disarm traps.[1] Invoking it removes all traps in a door or container.[2] When applied or invoked, the Master Key will speak a random rumor: the rumor will be true if the Key is blessed, false if cursed, and either if uncursed.
The Master Key of Thievery has additional effects when blessed (and/or uncursed for Rogues):[3] Locking or unlocking a trapped door or container with the Key automatically detects and offers to remove the trap, which is guaranteed to succeed;[4] monsters using the Key will untrap any door the monster is trying to open.[5] Additionally, untrapping doors and chests manually always succeeds as well.[6] Finally, wielding the Key without gloves will give you clues about adjacent traps of any kind (it will feel "warm" or "hot").[7]
Strategy
See also: Invoke § Optimum invocation schedule
Half physical damage is a rare property and is very useful, which makes the Master Key a good wish for a chaotic character, particularly considering its low weight. It should be wished for early, because artifact wishing depends on the number of artifacts in existence already—in fact, a chaotic character may want to hold back on sacrificing before their first wish, because an artifact wish is only guaranteed if there are 2 or fewer artifacts generated. Also be sure to be able to withstand the blasting damage; you need at least 41 HP (21 with magic resistance). Once the Key is in your inventory, you should avoid dropping it, since picking it up again will blast you another time. Keep a normal skeleton key or lockpick for mundane unlocking purposes, since applying the Master Key will also blast you.
As with all quest artifacts, cross-aligned characters can only pick up the Master Key via appropriate use of a helm of opposite alignment (or permanent conversion at an altar). This is usually not worth the trouble, since non-chaotic adventurers are better off with an artifact that grants magic resistance, and neutrals can obtain half physical damage from the Orb of Fate.
History
The Master Key of Thievery is introduced along with most of the other quest artifacts in NetHack 3.1.0.
The artifact's special effects when blessed were added in NetHack 3.6.1.
Encyclopedia entry
This skeleton key was fashioned in ages past and imbued with
a powerful magic which allows it to open any lock. When
carried, it grants its owner warning, teleport control, and
reduces all physical damage by half. Finally, when invoked,
it has the ability to disarm any trap.

# Hellish seal
+
Hellish seals (also commonly referred to as hell vaults) are a dungeon feature added in dNetHack. Being a feature of the floor, they do not block line of sight or otherwise obstruct the square. Indeed, the only way to interact with a hellish seal is to break it by digging downwards over the seal.
Hellish seals are generated as part of random level generation in random gehennom mazes. They are generated in small, closed 3x3 rooms found within larger rooms. A specific monster is sealed away within each hellish seal. The precise monster type can only be learned by breaking the seal, but the broad category can be learned by observing the statue placed on top of the seal.

Each hellish seal also contains a metallic chest containing between 9 and 36 (9d4) random magical items. Approximately 1/3rd of these items will be armor, 1/3rd of them will be weapons, and the remaining 1/3rd will be random magic items. Armor and weapons may be highly enchanted, may generate as artifacts, and may generate with object properties. It will likely be necessary to dig the chest out of the ground beneath the seal. The chest is always locked and trapped. |
# Golem (SLASH'EM)
SLASH'EM introduces numerous new golems, most of which are much more dangerous than their vanilla counterparts. This page covers those golems which are in SLASH'EM, but not in vanilla. SLASH'EM also introduces a unique golem, Frankenstein's Monster, covered on a separate page. Note that all golems in SLASH'EM are immune to drain life, including the attacks of Stormbringer.

Wax golems are typically seen in the early levels of SLASH'EM. Their attacks can destroy scrolls and potions, but otherwise they are not a huge threat. They drop wax candles when destroyed. This makes them potentially valuable as a non-conduct-violating source of candles in those games where Izchak's lighting store doesn't have enough.

Ruby golems are the first of SLASH'EM's highly dangerous gemstone golems. They do large amounts of physical damage, and resist most magical attacks. Fortunately, they are not very fast, and any player with speed can outrun them. They always drop rubies; in general, the gemstone golems are quite useful to identify valuable gems.

Steel golems are probably the largest threat of SLASH'EM's new golems. While they do slightly less damage than the crystal golem, they more than make up for it with their passive disenchant attack. They are sufficiently dangerous that it is difficult to use a junk weapon (such as a pick-axe) to destroy them, but they will generally be able to remove some enchantment from your main weapon if you attack them with it. Fortunately, they appear rarely enough that you should only need a couple of spare scrolls of enchant weapon or magic markers handy. They drop iron chains when destroyed.

Crystal golems do massive amounts of physical damage, and their random breath weapon can occasionally be a blast of disintegration, which can be unpleasant if you don't have reflection. They are best fought alone, if possible. Destroying them produces a pile of random valuable gems. Note that they have intrinsic magic resistance, in the same way that a gray dragon does.
Hit points
Like in Vanilla NetHack, golems in SLASH'EM are generated with a fixed number of hit points. However, even for golems that exist in Vanilla NetHack, that number of hit points is higher in SLASH'EM, as shown in the following table:

Strategy
All of the gemstone golems are highly dangerous; a crystal golem, in one-on-one combat with a character fully prepared for SLASH'EM's lategame, can still deal 120-150 damage before being destroyed. For this reason, they are all best fought alone if at all possible. Since they are all slower than a character in speed boots, this should not be too difficult. Stoning them is a valid option, as it will turn them into less-dangerous stone golems. The dropped gemstones can be quite useful, particularly for getting wishes from gypsies, which start appearing with some frequency around the same time. |

# Drowning
Drowning is a means of instantaneous death caused by being submerged in water when you are neither breathless nor amphibious.
Common forms of drowning are:
Stepping or falling into water when you have too much encumbrance to escape.
Falling into water with no adjacent, non-occupied land tile to escape to. This could be caused by a foocubus or nymph removing your boots of water walking, levitation, or ring of levitation.
Being pulled under water by a monster's drowning attack.
Less common forms of drowning include displacing a flying pet away from water onto the only dry land available:
| }} |x}} |@D} |x}} | }}
If the dragon D is a pet flying over water, then displacing it will likely prove fatal for our hero, who has no place to step back onto dry land. The more pets there are, the more confusing the situation is, and the more dangerous. Do not try to navigate Juiblex's swamp with a swarm of pet bees.
This link describes the tale of a player who was blanking potions on the Castle level by repeatedly walking into the moat while holding junk potions, and who drowned because a giant threw a boulder at him. Since the boulder suddenly occupied the only dry land tile adjacent to the water, YASD by drowning ensued.
If you can teleport, you will attempt to teleport away with a certain probability (before crawling out), provided you have sufficient energy. If you also have teleport control, you will always attempt to do so. However, it will not work on a no-teleport level.
As a side note, if you have teleportitis, random teleports will only place you in water if you are breathless or amphibious.

Artifacts in dNetHack can be divided into two broad categories: wishable and non-wishable. Wishable artifacts include those artifacts that can be given as divine gifts, including the vanilla crowning gifts but excluding new crowning gifts. Non-wishable artifacts include any, as well as any first gifts for race-specific role/race combinations (dwarf noble, drow shared, etc.). Artifacts belonging to late-game enemies like demon or devil lords are unwishable, as are any found on alignment quests.
Randomly found artifacts do not affect the odds of gifted or wished artifacts later. For the rules for wishing for artifacts, see dNetHack artifact wishing. (Spoilers!)
This page is currently being revised due to many updates changing artifact effects. Everything including and above the listed artifact has been revised and is accurate to the current version: Xiuhcoatl

At under 1/4 of your maximum health, deals an extra 2d12 blood damage, or an extra 1d12 at under 1/2 of your maximum health but above 1/4. This does not multiply the base damage or flat blood bonus, only the d12 extra, but does not require Bloodletter to be activated.

<target's level="">/10 to <target's level="">/10 - 4. This will never add time.
While wielded and active, invoking it again or applying it will slam Bloodletter down. This shakes off the blood on it, ending the active effect but causing a 6d6 rotten blood damage explosion of radius 1 centered on the player, hitting you and all adjacent squares.

War-helm of the Dreaming
chaotic intelligent Madmen-favoring faceless helm
chaotic crowning gift for Madmen
Grants magical breathing and nightmares when worn
Nightmares blocks the effects of clear thoughts from any source, but reduces your sanity penalty to 1/5 of what it should be - so having 80 sanity becomes 96, 60 becomes 92, and 0 becomes 80. This affects the effects of madnesses as well as their chances to trigger.
It also attempts to apply the effects of your madnesses to all monsters around you, doing similar effects to the ones you would suffer. This chance is rolled once per turn for any monster that can see you. To trigger, a normal madness effect roll is made but based on your actual sanity instead of your Nightmare-aware sanity, and so is a linear roll comparing a d100 against your sanity. If this passes, then you next roll 2d<your level=""> against the monster's level, and if your roll is higher than their monster level then they are affected by any and all madnesses you have. The practicality of this depends on the madnesses being applied.

Star-emperor's Ring
unaligned intelligent elf-favoring Madmen-favoring ring of wishes
Found on the Stranger for Elf Madmen only
Always spawns with 2 stars
Can be used to make an additional artifact wish, separate from any other artifacts used or unlocked
Allows you to summon up to 2 constellation pets. These pets are summoned just like from candles of invocation, but have the constellation monster template applied. This template makes them insubstantial, mindless, unholy-hating, silent, and grants them all resistances and the ability to fly. It also boosts their speed by 4 movement points, or the minimum of 12 (normal speed), and removes any natural armor bonuses they may have had. Only two constellations can ever be summoned, they are loyal so don't count as pet cap and will never traitor, and summoning them does not use up any of the stars on the ring. It is an entirely separate counter.
While worn, turns your bare-handed attacks into 4d8 starlight rapier attacks, which do not get any skill or bare-handed bonuses. It also attempts to make automatic starlight rapier attacks against adjacent hostile monsters once per turn. These automatic attacks will not trigger enemy contact-requiring passive effects and deal 4d4 damage. Each monster around you has a 66% chance to be attacked, and up to level/10 attacks are performed per monster.
While worn, also grants a bonus level/10 DR to your head slot.

# Farming
Farming is a general gaming term used to define any kind of repetitive behavior designed for a specific benefit, usually in the form of better loot or an increased level and stats. Opinions on the practice vary widely, from being a common and accepted practice to being discouraged as against the spirit of the game.
In a game like NetHack, some of these opinions are more polarized than usual, due to the age of the game as well as the ways in which some of the more common methods of farming can trivialize much of the gameplay (e.g., by removing most of the challenge from assembling an ascension kit). However, there are still elements of the game that can pose a significant threat to all but the most dedicated farmers, and players electing to farm for a given purpose must weigh the amount of time and resources spent in return for the desired reward(s).

Changes to farming in NetHack
The types of farming possible in NetHack are many and varied; major changes made by the DevTeam in the transition from NetHack 3.4.3 to 3.6.0 were designed to address certain exploits and other methods that certain kinds of farming were reliant on. These changes limited the benefits that can be derived from most of them - and in a couple of cases, rendering them completely useless. For example, many farming methods rely upon cloned monsters; in 3.6.0, a bitfield labeled mcloned is added that tracks how the monster was generated; among other things, this prevents the splitting of monsters if the split monster is rendered extinct (though the splitting itself does not respect extinction).[1][2]
List of current farming methods
The methods listed in this section are usable in current versions, though they may undergo significant changes as the game is updated.
Altar scumming
Main article: Altar farming
Hanging around an altar and sacrificing anything that comes along is a natural part of many legitimate games of NetHack, but some feel that taking this to extremes is scumming, particularly when combined with any of the other applicable farming methods detailed below.
Gremlin farming
That's a lot of gremlins...
While gremlins normally stop dividing once their hit point maximum falls to 1, it's possible to induce them to divide indefinitely by using a ring of conflict. This works because whenever a monster kills something, such as another gremlin, its hit point maximum is increased, which allows it to divide again.[3] Since on average a gremlin gains more than one maximum hit point when it kills another gremlin, more gremlins can easily be created provided they are given enough time to heal and divide. As indicated previously, gremlin division also does not respect extinction.
Gremlins will not death drop most items due to their size, but can still drop valuables such as gems, rings, and even the normally-rare magic marker. Cloned monsters in 3.6.0 and later versions cannot leave death drops at all and give diminishing experience returns;[4][5] gremlin farming is thus much less effective for loot, but still viable as they leave corpses that can be used for sacrificing.
To "breed" gremlins effectively, the following steps are advisable:
Use an open, watery level. You need lots of pools for the gremlins to divide in, and an open area for conflict to be most effective.
Try to keep the level clear of other monsters and traps. Remember that fully divided gremlins only have one hit point, and therefore die very easily.
Don't keep the ring of conflict on all the time. Instead, only put it on for one turn, take it off again immediately, and wait several turns for the surviving gremlins to fully heal and divide before putting it on again. This also keeps you less hungry and the gremlins less vulnerable to attacks by other monsters.
Don't do this at night. Even if you stand on Elbereth or a scroll of scare monster, the gremlins will still sometimes hit you when you wear conflict, risking your intrinsics in the process.
Medusa farming
Characters with a source of reflection or a mirror and the stone to flesh spell can easily stone and revive Medusa as many times as they like. No death drops are generated this way, but it does provide an easy source of experience points.
This trick has also been nerfed in NetHack 3.6.0, as repeatedly killing a revived monster eventually starts yielding diminishing XP rewards.
Quest farming
Giant farming
If you are playing as a Valkyrie, you can hang out on the home level of your quest and kill giants for strength gain and death drops. This can be done easily by waiting in the building with the Norn using the numeric prefix command and then venturing out to kill and consume a giant when you become hungry.
Throne looting
#Looting a throne while confused will generate a throne room monster and give it a fraction of your gold if no chest is on the level; a forgotten spell is a reliable, unlimited source of confusion. If throne monsters are rendered extinct, ordinary random monsters are generated instead. In 3.6.0 and later versions, creating a monster now has a 10% chance of marking the throne as "looted", which will prevent it from any new monsters; additionally, confused looting now consumes a turn. Throne looting is thus still possible, but is no longer farmable to anywhere near the same extent.
Werecreature farming
Since werecreatures in their animal form can summon animals when attacking you, they can be used as a inexhaustible monster source. A reasonably safe farm is somewhat tedious to set up, but it can be a viable (and conduct-proof) alternative to the usual monster creation methods, since it has not yet been nerfed as of 3.6.1.
.| .| .|# .|d .+# .+` .| .|
A farm made out of a closet
The main idea is to trap the werecreature in a locked space connected diagonally to a door. Since monsters cannot move diagonally through a doorway, but can attack, you can easily "switch" the monster creation process by moving in and out of the doorway. You can use an existing closet as the base -- simply dig a square to the side, trap the monster there, and block the original closet square with a boulder. If you have a wand of locking, you can construct the farm in pretty much any room (including near an altar).
Luring the werecreature into the trap can be troublesome. The easiest way is to temporarily tame it, but illiterates may find it difficult. Since werecreatures are not followers, moving them between levels without taming is also difficult. (You can get them to fall down holes, or kill them and undead turn their corpse.)
Once in place, you just need to endure its attacks. You will inevitably be infected by lycanthropy, so you need some way of managing it: either Werebane, an amulet of unchanging, or a ring of polymorph control (make sure to turn paranoid_confirmation:Were-change on if using the ring). It helps to have a means of curing it, as well (like prayer). Anyway, after a few turns of attacking you the monster will summon help, after which you should step aside and deal with them.
Summoned monsters can be used for most usual purposes (food, death drops, sacrifice, etc.) but note that being infected with lycanthropy makes eating them cannibalism and reduces the chance of a prayer boon, because your god will prioritize fixing the lycanthropy first. If you have Werebane, however, this is not a concern.
All three kinds of werecreatures can be used, but wererats summon rats which have poisonous attacks and rarely leave corpses, and werewolves can summon winter wolves whose rays of cold can cause unwanted destruction (like the death of the original werewolf). If you can deal with them, however, they can give cold resistance (but mind the cannibalism penalty). Wolves leave corpses very often but are tougher in general, making werejackals an optimal choice for low-level characters.
Overall, it's a tedious and somewhat situational strategy, but if you're sacrificing for a powerful artifact and have gotten Werebane instead, it can be considered.
Wraith farming
First, retrieve the Book of the Dead. This works best if you refrain from killing the Wizard of Yendor, because then he won't randomly appear until you perform the Invocation Ritual. Reading the cursed Book can summon wraiths (as well as other undead, including liches, so genocide what you cannot deal with). However, it also marks the current level as a graveyard. This means that you should lead wraiths to another (nongraveyard) level before killing them for their corpses. Recall that eating a wraith corpse at experience level 30 will still increase your maximum HP and power.
Vault guard farming
Since guards generate without limit, it is possible to farm guards by entering a vault and killing guards. You can summon guards if you are inside a vault by blowing a cursed tin whistle (which you can obtain from the first guard that comes). Killing the guards yourself will subject you to a murder penalty (if you are not chaotic) and decrease your alignment record (for killing a peaceful monster, regardless of your alignment). If have a helm of opposite alignment and are or can become chaotic, you can avoid the murder penalty and reset your alignment record when you are done farming by putting on or removing the helm.
You can also have a strong pet kill guards for you to avoid penalties, but you will not receive death drops this way, limiting spoils to the offensive items, defensive items, and miscellaneous items that guards may generate with. You may want to use the menu_search key binding (default :) to search for items when you are in the pick up menu to avoid scrolling through a list of the dead guards' junk weapons and armor.
List of deprecated methods
Due to the major divergence between versions, the following methods detailed below are either mostly inapplicable to current versions, or else severely reduced in effectiveness. They are still applicable to 3.4.3 at latest, as well as many variants based on pre-3.6 versions; changes made from the 3.6 series forward and their effects on the strategy are noted where appropriate.
Kraken farming
In 3.4.3, kraken can be killed trivially when on dry land, and their corpses can be revived using undead turning. This means you can continue killing the same monsters near-indefinitely, racking up a very high score with very little effort. To get the most out of such farming, you can trap kraken by digging walls in the following pattern:
# # # # # # # ## # ; ; ; ; ; ; # ; ; ; ; ; ; ## ; ; ; ; ; ; # ; ; ; ; ; ; # ## # # # # # # #
This allows a farmer to repeatedly cast undead turning and finger of death along the diagonals with copy-and-paste - kraken are huge monsters, and so cannot squeeze diagonally between walls.
3.6.0 and later versions make this strategy vastly more dangerous, if not impossible - kraken will no longer revive while on land, and leaving them in water puts the player at risk of instadeath by drowning attack.
Pudding farming
Main article: Pudding farming
In 3.4.3, a common tactic was to advance your character to the point where they could easily defeat black puddings, then carefully use weak weapons to divide them without killing them; this allowed players to "farm" by killing as many puddings as they wish for death dropped items, and their corpses can be sacrificed for a variety of benefits. Players can continue this process (and even automate it) until they possess thousands of hit points, maximum AC, and hundreds of wands of wishing—at a point where a player is considering this and has the means to do so, the only primary obstacle is the amount of effort they are willing to dedicate (which ironically proved an effective deterrent).
3.6.0's changes rendered this method of farming completely ineffective by removing the majority of its benefits. One such major change is the mcloned bitfield that tracks cloned monsters, used to prevent them from leaving death drops of any kind. Another such change is the addition of globs, which replace regular corpses as the remains of black puddings; these are left behind in a special method similar to golems, and thus puddings can no longer provide any death drops or sacrifice material.
Throne farming
Throne farming was once perhaps the fastest way in the game to generate lots of monsters, and the only method available without breaking any conducts; monster generation would also not use up a turn or risk any damage to the throne, allowing indefinite farming for whatever items you desire (from dragon scales to convert into mail to various potions, wands and scrolls. This is no longer possible as of 3.6.0, since confused looting now uses up a turn and has a 10% change of marking the throne as "looted", preventing further monster generation from that throne.
For 3.4.3, earlier versions and some variants based on them, undiggable no-teleport levels work best to prevent monsters from ruining your setup; at most, you will only have to use up one charge from a wand of teleportation to send a troublesome monster off. Each quest home level generates the quest leader on a suitable throne - you can make them wander away if you move adjacent on a free turn, and then say no to the "really attack?" prompt. You might want to engrave concentric circles of Elbereth (as done when farming dragon scales and/or use a boulder fort to protect yourself from ranged attacks. Illiterate conduct players can get a monster to read the scroll of earth, then stand on a scroll of scare monster and confuse themselves, using a cursed unicorn horn if they did not start with a spell to forget.
At this point, the only threat left is the potential of sickness; the chance of dying to terminal illness can be almost completely removed by polymorphing into a ghoul to gain sickness resistance beforehand, or applying a preferably-blessed unicorn horn to cure it. Unattended copy-paste farming is only possible if you confuse yourself with an expired spell or are permanently a ghoul; setting menustyle=traditional in your config file can make the paste script execute the spellcasting faster.
Death farming
This is only borderline scumming, as any character capable of doing it is more than capable of ascending. The goal might be to gain large numbers of exotic items to ascend with, to gain billions of points, or (most commonly) to impress onlookers.
Eat rings of increase damage until you have a high enough intrinsic damage bonus to kill Death in one hit (+60 should work).
Clear the Astral plane of all distractions.
Increase your polearm proficiency to skilled.
Trap Death in a corner on the Astral plane, like so:
----|&j.|j`@|jj.
In this example, Death is trapped between blue jellies and a boulder. He cannot move, but you can hit him with a polearm while he is in line of sight. Once he's dead (in one hit), attempt to push the boulder over his corpse. This will revive him. You can then repeat the procedure. You can work out the exact sequence of key strokes used in a complete cycle of this process (in this case, for example, "aahy.jyk"), and copy this line a few thousand times in a text editor, then paste the whole lot into the NetHack interface.
The result will be many thousand death-dropped items and a very high score. If the number of death-dropped items exceeds 32,767 on the same square, the game will probably crash,[6] so periodically checking Death's square and redistributing the items (possibly by teleporting them away, or polymorphing them together) is necessary. This is because the number of items present on a square is stored in a signed short when the items are listed.
This method no longer works as of 3.6.0, because Riders can displace other monsters; thus, the jelly fort will not work to contain Death. It is still possible to kill Death (or other Riders) arbitrarily many times, but not with this method of automation. Additionally, revived monsters give diminishing experience points and score, down to 1⁄64 of the base value, which means that it will take much longer to achieve billions of points.

# Talk:Xorn
If the Xorn is unbreathing, what stops it from walking through water? --66.23.133.52 19:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
The article is wrong. A quick test in Wizard mode indicates Xorns can indeed walk through water. I'll fix it now. Djao 22:04, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Note that he doesn't walk through water, but over the water. (He can't reach bottom) 84.47.46.87 05:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
How come then that Xorns cannot cross the water in the castle level? Because that is what I witnessed in every game of mine. I'm confused now. Azzkikr 10:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Variants
They are great! If you haven't tried variants, you might be surprised how easy most of them are to play; they don't require a whole new skillset. In fact, many of them are less frustrating to play than Vanilla, because they give you a yes/no prompt before allowing you to do something foolish.
Here are some fun things you can try if you want to sample a variant!
FIQhack
did you forget something? well then, press ctrl + c to watch a replay of your most recent actions... WITHOUT LEAVING THE GAME! or, press ctrl + f to search for objects on the floor (or glyphs/features). it searches the whole dungeon for that thing you lost! Dungeonwide search is, as far as i know, completely unique to FIQhack, and extremely helpful.
as you play, you'll start to notice that the UI is trying to help you, instead of getting in your way. select an item from your inventory to see every possible way you can interact with that item!
try a monk! thanks to FIQhack's power regen formulas, you can actually use your starting spells regularly!
Also fun: play a gnome tourist, and try to do the protection racket. Much more fun than doing the racket as a healer! And you'll be pleasantly surprised what a tourist can see in the shops.
UnNetHack
most variants change game balance quite a bit. UN likes to stick pretty closely to vanilla's "balance" (as much as nethack can claim to be any kind of balanced - perhaps "difficulty level" is a more accurate term).
As such, you can play UN pretty much the same way you'd play vanilla, but you'll find more varied terrain, more useable artifact gifts, and some neat little QoL features tucked here and there in the game.
While you can't use early wishes (if you get early wishes) to wish for a standard DSM, you'll find that the Black market (UnNetHack) is very well stocked and can supply several of the things you might otherwise have wished for.
Fourk
valkyries have intrinsic flying. very convenient, very cool, very fun.
a sylph healer starts with a magic harp. if you were to say, use a fountain or a smoky potion to wish for a PYEC, then you can get a nice little army of pals to fight for ya!
Fourk has some of the UI features from fiqhack, including the in-game replay.
dnethack
A dwarf anachrononaut can gun down a shopkeeper with just their starting machine gun. Go have fun in minetown! Generally, any anachrononaut will start the game with something fun and powerful: drow have vicious unarmed strikes and some magical powers (press ctrl + f), incantifiers have a lightsaber, elves have reflection, etc...
If you play other races and roles, especially binders you might have other kinds of supernatural powers, press ctrl + g to check, and ctrl + w to draw a ward. (Wards replace Elbereth in DNH)
Splicehack
a dragonmaster's starting pet can usually take out most shopkeepers by itself, especially shopkeepers that spawn in early Dungeon floors.
you can not only play the ever-popular vampires and convicts, but there's some really neat original ideas: angels, infernals, cartomancers, and dancers! And merfolk are just solid, they stand well alongside normal races but have their own nice twists. more info here: Roles_and_races_(SpliceHack)
note that right now, changelings and lycanthropes are pretty painful to play, but they have big changes coming in the 0.8.0 release.
If you think you have to "master" vanilla first, you're missing out! Suggestion: after you get 1 vanilla win, win 1 game in each variant you're interested in, instead of forcing yourself to win every single vanilla role first. (Due to ascension kit requirements, all vanilla roles play extremely similar anyways!) |

Generation
Sunsword can be received as a sacrifice gift by lawful characters. Angels and Aleaxes have a 5% chance of their normal starting erodeproof long sword being Sunsword; Archons generated normally have a 50% chance of generating with either Sunsword or Demonbane, with a rustproof long sword replacing either artifact if it was already generated.
Description
Sunsword has +1d5 to-hit and does double damage against undead, and prevents blinding from lights while wielded. It also acts as a light source when wielded, with a radius centered around the wielder based on its beatitude: 3 if blessed, 2 if uncursed, and 1 if cursed. It will unlight when unwielded.[1] The light from Sunsword repels gremlins and adds +1d8 damage when hitting them with Sunsword.[2]
Strategy
Sunsword's use as a light source is generally considered more important than its damage bonus, though it is a viable choice in the absence of a better artifact weapon. Sunsword does hit a far wider range of monsters than most Bane-style artifacts - liches and the stronger vampires are among the strongest (and most relevant) targets, and become relatively more common when passing through the Valley of the Dead and into Gehennom. Priests face many undead on their quest, making the double damage especially useful for them in theory.
However, since obtaining it as a sacrifice gift unrestricts the long sword skill, Excalibur becomes available and will almost always supercede Sunsword as the primary weapon. Players attempting the genocide-less conduct may still find Sunsword especially useful against liches.

History
Sunsword first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
In NetHack 3.4.3 and previous versions, including some variants based on them, the light range does not depend on beatitude and always has a radius of 2; a magic lamp was often preferred as a light source in these versions. Sunsword was also ineffective against shades, who are undead but heavily resist damage from non-silver weapons.
In NetHack 3.6.0, the effects of beatitude on the light radius is introduced, and Sunsword was adjusted so that its bonus damage against undead overrode shades' resistance to non-silver damage. The light's additional effects on gremlins were added in NetHack 3.6.2.

Variants
NetHack: The Next Generation
In NetHack: The Next Generation, Sunsword can be requested from Duri at The Forge for 7000zm.
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, Sunsword is easier to obtain, particular;y for lawfuls - Priests and Undead Slayers receive it as their second guaranteed sacrifice gift, and lawful characters can also receive A minions as sacrifice gifts that are likely to be generated carrying it. Minion gifts are not affected by previous gifts as with artifacts - once a minion with Sunsword generates, it can be easily and safely disarmed with a bullwhip.
Furthermore, it has a much wider use case due to the addition of far more dangerous undead such as spellcasting vampire mages and ghoul mages, fast and hard-hitting gugs, and regenerating troll mummies. Sunsword competes for usage with the Holy Spear of Light, an artifact silver spear with a similar, weaker bonus against undead (which is incidentally the Undead Slayer's first sacrifice gift) - though it does not act as a light source, it can damage demons due to being made of silver and can be invoked to permanently illuminate an area around the player, damaging undead caught in the burst of light.
SLASH'EM also makes it possible to twoweapon artifacts, though Sunsword will only provide light if wielded in the primary hand.
dNetHack
In dNetHack, Sunsword additionally deals double damage to demons, petrifies trolls and gremlins, and may also blind struck enemies. It now uses (and trains) the higher of the two between short swords and long sword skills, which makes it effective even for roles that are restricted in long swords.
FIQHack
In FIQHack, Sunsword blocks blindness, much like The Eyes of the Overworld. Its double damage is replaced by a +1d20 damage bonus.
SpliceHack
In SpliceHack, Sunsword is made of crystal gemstone, and its base item is chosen at random from one-handed swords, including the long sword.
EvilHack
In EvilHack, Sunsword is also made of crystal, and has a chance to completely destroy any undead that it hits. Additionally, killing zombies while wielding Sunsword causes their corpses to evaporate, preventing their revival.
Sunsword can be forged together with Demonbane to create the Hammer of the Gods, an artifact silver heavy war hammer that retains Sunsword's bonuses and warning versus undead and its ability to emit light while wielded.
SlashTHEM
In SlashTHEM, in addition to retaining SLASH'EM details, the Forge from NetHack: The Next Generation is added - Sunsword can be requested from Duri for 7000zm as before.

This article is about NetHack's deities. For the item known as “GoD”, see gauntlets of dexterity.
In NetHack, the role of your adventurer determines the pantheon of gods that appear during the game. Each role's pantheon contains one lawful, one neutral, and one chaotic god; there is no functional difference in gameplay between gods of different alignments outside of which one you serve and which ones oppose you. These divine pantheons are listed as follows:
Lawful
Neutral
Chaotic
Archaeologist
Quetzalcoatl
Camaxtli
Huhetotl
Barbarian
Mitra
Crom

Caveman
Anu

Your task is to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor for the god of your alignment - to ascend and win the game, you must sacrifice the amulet at your god's high altar, and you can sometimes #pray to your god in times of need. The pantheon for a priest(ess) is randomly selected from another single role; if a priest's lawful god is Blind Io, the neutral god is always going to be The Lady.

Unaligned gods
The unaligned god is always Moloch, who holds dominion over prayers and altars in Gehennom.
Of the other "unaligned" gods, Marduk is described in the introductory text as the Creator, from whom Moloch stole the Amulet of Yendor. Elbereth is the name of an elf-goddess that can be #engraved to frighten most monsters, not including humans or elves.
Atheist conduct tries to avoid actions directly involving the gods and other aspects of religion.
Origin
The NetHack pantheons (and related quests) for each role are derived from a mix of real-world and fictional sources:
Archeologist: Aztec mythology
Barbarian: Robert E. Howard's Conan mythos
Caveman: Mesopotamian mythology
Healer: Greek mythology
Knight: Celtic mythology
Monk: Chinese mythology
Ranger: Roman mythology
Rogue: Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser mythos
Samurai: Japanese mythology
Tourist: Terry Pratchett's Discworld mythos
Valkyrie: Norse mythology
Wizard: Egyptian mythology
Other deities
Marduk: Babylonian mythology
Moloch: Ammonite mythology (in the Bible in the form "Molech," q.v. 1 Kings 11:7; Moloch is the Greek form of the Hebrew מֹּֽלֶךְ found in LXX in 2 Kings 23:10)
Elbereth: J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth mythos

Encyclopaedia entry
Goddesses and Gods operate in ones, threesomes, or whole
pantheons of nine or more (see Religion). Most of them claim
to have made the world, and this is indeed a likely claim in
the case of threesomes or pantheons: Fantasyland does have
the air of having been made by a committee. But all Goddesses
and Gods, whether they say they made the world or not, have
very detailed short-term plans for it which they are determined
to carry out. Consequently they tend to push people into the
required actions by the use of coincidence or Prophecy, or just
by narrowing down your available choices of what to do next:
if a deity is pushing you, things will go miserably badly until
there is only one choice left to you.

Balam, the Last Sacrifice
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?
[Psalm 22]
Binding Ritual
Balam's seal must be drawn on an icy square. You must wield a weapon when addressing Balam.
Taboo
You must not sacrifice intelligent creatures.
Mark
Freezing water leaks from deep wounds in your wrists, ankles, and neck.
Detection
Balam's mark can be seen at a distance, and is harder to disguise up close.
Disguise
Distance: Wear a cloak or torso armor.
Close: Additionally wear gloves and boots.
Immunity
You gain half spell damage.
Skill
Balam grants skill in whips.
Active Powers
Icy Glare: Deals 5 dice of ice damage to the first target in the indicated direction, and half damage to all targets in a ~90 degree wedge centered on the chosen direction. Blinds you for 5 turns. Also freezes water in the wedge. This power's range is 1 square/2 levels.
Balam's Anointing: Makes a touch attack (requiring a to-hit roll) against a single adjacent creature. Target takes 5 dice of cold damage. A target with a head and without thick skin may be killed outright (10% chance). A target with a head, eyes, and thick skin instead takes double damage and is blinded. Otherwise, this power has no extra effect.
Passive Powers
Balam's Martyrdom: When you have negative AC, you roll twice for effective AC and use the lower result. |
# Non-teleport level
"A mysterious force prevents you from teleporting!"
A non-teleport level is any level that prevents all forms of self-teleportation within the same level, whether from the scroll of teleportation, teleportitis, or any other such method. There are generally no restrictions on level teleporting or branchporting with the Eye of the Aethiopica. However, you cannot levelport from Sokoban, or in the quest without your quest leader's permission. And you cannot leave the End Game in any other way than the portals.
On a non-teleport level, you will not be able to escape the monsters by teleporting yourself, but neither will the monsters escape from you. Thus you might need to change from your usual strategy.
Even in 3.4.3, monsters have to learn teleport restrictions through personal experience. Monsters frequently waste one scroll of teleportation trying to escape you. Nymphs, nurses and foocubi will still try to teleport away from you, but will always fail. Once an individual monster has attempted teleportation by such methods, or stepped on a teleport trap, on a non-teleport level, it does not do so again.[1][2][3] Such a wised-up monster will also try not to wander onto any teleport trap (except to escape),[4] and has a 75% chance of escaping traps it walks onto.[5]
On non-teleport levels, you can still teleport monsters and items; the only restrictions on teleporting are that creatures (including the player) cannot teleport themselves, and the quantum mechanic's teleport attack does not work. Therefore, a wand of teleportation is an incredibly effective defense in high-density levels such as Moloch's Sanctum and the Astral Plane.
Covetous monsters will still be able to warp to the up-staircase. Covetous monsters include master and arch-liches, Quest nemeses, and named demons. Many levels where master liches tend to appear, such as demon lairs, are non-teleport. If you have telepathy, you can easily see where such monsters are warping. However, even if you have teleport control, you will not be able to follow them by teleporting. You will have to walk to the up staircase and endure injury while the monster warps and heals. Once you can reach the up staircase, stand on it to block it. This tactic does not work on the Astral Plane—covetous monsters will simply teleport to retreat a few spaces.
If you are engulfed on a non-teleport level, you cannot escape by teleporting yourself; however, if you teleport the engulfing monster, you will stay put and the monster will be teleported away. This is in contrast to regular levels, where you go with the engulfing monster.
List of non-teleport levels
All of Sokoban
The Quest home level
The Rogue and Samurai Quest goal levels
Fort Ludios
Medusa's Island
The Castle
The Valley of the Dead
Demon lairs (Asmodeus, Baalzebub, Juiblex, and Orcus)
All of Vlad's Tower
The Gehennom levels with wizard towers
Moloch's Sanctum
The Endgame
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (NetHack 3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
Demon lairs are no longer non-teleport, but demon lords and princes suppress the teleportation of you or any monster that isn't a demon lord or prince, in Gehennom.
SLASH'EM
In addition, the following SLASH'EM levels are also no-teleport:
Grund's Stronghold
The Lawful Quest
The black market
The Yeoman quest nemesis level
The additional demon lairs (Yeenoghu, Geryon, Dispater, and Demogorgon)
However, teleportation is allowed in the Valley of the Dead.

# Eel
The eels are sea monsters; they are comprised of the giant eel and electric eel. The kraken is sometimes categorised with them as well. They are referred to as a group by virtue of the drowning attack they share.
Encyclopaedia entry
The behaviour of eels in fresh water extends the air of mystery surrounding them. They move freely into muddy, silty bottoms of lakes, lying buried in the daylight hours in summer. [...] Eels are voracious carnivores, feeding mainly at night and consuming a wide variety of fishes and invertebrate creatures. Contrary to earlier thinking, eels seek living rather than dead creatures and are not habitual eaters of carrion.

Effects
Reading an uncursed scroll of food detection detects and reveals the location of all comestibles on the level, including those on the ground and in monster inventories; if blessed, you additionally acquire the food appraisal intrinsic. If the scroll is cursed, or you are confused regardless of the BUC-status of the scroll, you will detect potions instead. Detecting either food or potions using this scroll will auto-identify it.
Strategy
The most obvious use is to efficiently track down food if you are hungry and/or short on comestibles; remember that the scroll will display all comestibles, including corpses that are tainted from age, poisoned, or otherwise harmful (e.g. petrification from a footrice corpse). Unless you have food appraisal (e.g. from a blessed scroll), you will not get any warning before eating such a corpse, so do not chow down carelessly. The food appraisal intrinsic from the scroll is also useful to prevent breaking conducts; however, it will only warn you once before the intrinsic is lost and will need to be reapplied.
The potion-detecting capability of cursed and/or confused readings of the scroll have a niche application for finding useful potions, such as smoky potions or a potion of gain level, before a monster can grab it, or else kill a monster before they can use it; this functionality can be duplicated by other means, however.
Once you learn the spell of detect food or are at a point where food is not much of a concern anymore, this scroll is a good candidate for blanking.

# Deferred and defunct features (SlashTHEM)
SlashTHEM was once a variant of Slash'EM Extended v75 - from the v0.8.0 release up until v0.9.3 and 0.9.4, a "Great Cleanup" occurred that either reverted or removed many of those features in order to bring the game much closer to vanilla SLASH'EM, though with some influence from earlier versions of Slash'EM Extended remaining, and subsequently iterate from that point. Some of these removed and reverted features from Slash'EM Extended still remain in the code in a partial form - these deferred and defunct features for SlashTHEM are listed below.
For the sake of brevity, this article will focus on features that still have code in the most recent post-"Great Cleanup" version; as of October 5th, 2022, the latest version of SlashTHEM is v0.9.7.

Quests and artifacts
These racial quests and artifacts from SLASH 6, as well as their associated monsters, were originally deferred in SLASH'EM and removed at some point during SlashTHEM's lifespan; they were reintroduced in commit c1f38b8 and slated for possible future use. SlashTHEM currently has a Lunatic role that acts as a successor to the lycanthrope starting race - as Lunatics use the lycanthrope's racial quest, their quest artifact, leader, guardians, and nemesis are all unchanged.
All the listed features below are defunct unless marked otherwise.

Starting races
While many of the starting races from Slash'EM Extended were cut, some still have remnants of code left behind, and some others that are present in SlashTHEM were renamed and still retain some of their previous traits.
Asgardian
The Asgardian was a playable race that, among other things, had a 30% chance to gain a random intrinsic the first time they reached a given experience level.
Gigant
Main article: Giant (starting race)#SlashTHEM
The gigant was a starting race that corresponded to playable giants; they were renamed to "giant" in SlashTHEM v0.9.3-0.9.4.
Ogro
Main article: Ogre (starting race)
The ogro was a starting race that corresponded to playable ogres; they were renamed to "ogre" in SlashTHEM v0.9.3-0.9.4.
Trollor
Main article: Troll (starting race)
The trollor was a starting race that corresponded to playable trolls; they were renamed to "troll" in SlashTHEM v0.9.3-0.9.4.
Starting roles
While many roles were removed, some roles previously in Slash'EM Extended are still present in the code of SlashTHEM; two roles in particular were deferred pending a complete rewrite, according to comments by the developer.[1][2] Quest nemeses and other monsters tied to some of these roles can be found within the code of monst.c as well.
Goff
The Goff was a role derived from My Immortal, an infamous Harry Potter fanfiction known for its convoluted narrative and constant digressions, and commonly cited as one of the worst works of fanfiction ever written; the work has also been speculated to be a satire or elaborate "troll" hoax. The work's author self-identified as "Tara Gilesbie" - this name was used for the Goff quest nemesis, T, who still exists within the code of monst.c in SlashTHEM.[3]
Psion
The Psion was a role that does not seem to be related to the Psions of ZAPM, and is slated for a potential rewrite in the future.[2]
The data of monst.c contains entries for the Psion quest leader and quest nemesis: the leader is the Psi Master, @, and the nemesis is Master Sabrina, @.[4][5] Master Sabrina may be based on Sabrina, a Psychic-type Gym Leader from the Pokémon franchise.
Pokemon
The Pokemon was a role with a signature poke ball technique that it could use to try and tame monsters, and is slated for a potential rewrite in the future.[1] The poke ball technique had an increased chance of working on monsters with the M3_PETTY and M3_POKEMON tags, both of which are also unused in SlashTHEM, and references to the technique exist in the role's deferred data and a few other files within the game.
The data of monst.c contains entries for the Pokemon quest leader and quest nemesis, as well as the quest guardians: the leader is Dr. Wusiji, @, the nemesis is Ho-Oh, B, and the guardians are Pokemon trainers, @.[6][7][8]
In the Pokémon franchise, Pokémon trainers are people who catch the eponymous monsters to collect them and/or battle alongside them; the poke ball technique is meant to simulate the Poké Balls used to catch and store Pokémon. Ho-Oh is based on the legendary Pokémon of the same name from the franchise, while Dr. Wusiji is the name used for Professor Elm in Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal, a bootleg of one of the games infamous for its poor translation job.
Zyborg
The Zyborg was a role that gained random techniques from leveling up, among other traits. Their quest nemesis is Master Brain, @, who still exists within the code of monst.c, and is based on the Masterbrain from Fallout 3.[9]
Techniques
Of the techniques that were introduced in Slash'EM Extended, only a handful remain. Four of them - appraisal, booze, create ammo and world fall - are still listed among the defined techniques inherited from Slash'EM Extended in include/tech.h, with a reminder to possibly remove them at some point. However, the booze technique is still actively used, and serves as the signature technique of the Drunk role - the others are among the unused techniques listed below.
Appraisal
Appraisal is a technique that was available to nearly every race; unlike create ammo and worldfall, the functions of the technique were preserved, but are not used by any race or role in SlashTHEM.
Using this technique would allow you to determine the enchantment value or amount of charges for your currently wielded item. Its main use was for weapons, though their enchantment could also be determined via the weapon practice technique on occasion; upon appraising a weapon, there would be a 200-turn timeout, and if used on something other than a weapon, it would take about 2000 turns instead. This timeout would still apply if the wielded item could not have an enchantment value or any amount charges (e.g. potions), or if the enchantment or charge amount was already known.
Create ammo
Create ammo is a a technique that was available to a few roles, including the Pokemon. The technique would add (techlevel+1) bullets to the inventory, unless it was full; every individual bullet had its own chance of being blessed, cursed or having a random positive or negative enchantment. After use, the player would have to wait a random time in order to use it again; the timeout was usually around 500 turns.
Invoke deity
Invoke deity is a commented-out technique that was available to nearly every race; when used, it would hurt or heal you based on your alignment record. A positive alignment record resulted in healing and decreased timeout for prayer, while a negative alignment record resulted in taking damage and increased prayer timeout - if you alignment record was exactly zero, nothing happened. Using this technique broke atheist conduct, and had a timeout of about 3000 turns; negative effects would not (further) anger your god.
World fall
World fall is a technique that was available to a few roles, including the Pokemon. The technique would kill all monsters on the current level, hostile and otherwise, with a level is lower than the technique's level; unique monsters and quest nemeses were immune. The cooldown length was a random number of turns, but usually it would take at least 10,000 turns to recharge.

# NetHackWiki:Next version pool 3.4.3
After NetHack 3.4.3 had been released in December 2003 it took 12 years for the next version to come out. The DevTeam traditionally provides no schedule other than "when it's ready", so people began to pass the time by speculating wildly. In September 2014 some work-in-progress code was leaked, firing up a fresh round of discussions. The long awaited birth of NetHack 3.6.0 finally happened on December 7, 2015 (of course allowing new speculation to commence). This page documents people's guesses over the years:

August -- Axlexk - 15 years after the last release, after the DevTeam announces their official support for another group to take over the true, non-variant production of the game, and in the next year, NetHack's remaining faithful supporters will spend the next year coding frantically, somberly, and joyously.

Never
Someone ought to say it. The DevTeam has made one hell of a great game, and I think they're done. Whatever comes after NetHack will come from a different direction entirely.--Ckbryant 16:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree. I guess they are working on something way too big for them, and either someone else will preemt them or the remaining fan base will be too diehard conservative to accept their work when / if it is released. There should be a wiki page "currently visible development" that tracks all of the variants and how playable they are, together with a note the Devteam hasn't delivered since 2004 (but a hell of a game until then). -Tjr 16:23, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
I agree as well... I don't think they are going to release anything new. I've moved on to Dwarf Fortress personally... Magma flood anyone?
Sign me up for "never", too; at this point, with 3.4.3 having been released in *2003*, more than six years ago, it seems increasingly unlikely to me there'll ever be any more releases: otherwise, I'd at least have expected a 3.4.4 bugfix release that'd take care of things like the astral call bug. My personal guess would be that the dev team, one by one, will move on to other things, and the current trunk will perish in some private repo somewhere without anyone ever seeing it. ...but hey, on the upside, if this turns out to not be true, I can only be positively surprised. :) -- Schnee 22:22, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
I must agree as well, probably never. Although, it remains to be seen if something like Linley's Dungeon Crawl -> Stone Soup will happen. Probably not, but it's not impossible. -Ion frigate 07:41, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Time to let Vanilla go. UnNetHack and SporkHack are in active development and are not shy about providing access to the latest code (as opposed to the "dev team" that wouldn't even release bug fixes, even though they have 468 bugs marked as "fixed").
Let's consider the possibility that, since TDTTOE, they are counting on the eventuality of the unofficial development community producing enough useable ideas and even new content to suddenly swoop down from on high and incorporate it into the next version- unless they all die of old age first, in which case not only do we not get a next official version, but we'll have to change the acronym to TDTTOAE. EvilM00s 0954 CST, 17 August 2012
Almost ten years without releasing even bugfixes? It is safe to assume that vanilia is dead - fortunately there is still UnNetHack and other active variants Bulwersator (talk) 17:41, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
It seems highly unlikely. The news about leaked versions from 21 Sep 2014 just confirms that they still exist, but they're being as obscure about releasing new versions as ever. And even if there was a new version, how much different from 3.4.3. could it really be? If there were any major changes I'd probably just port them over to Slash'EM Extended and continue playing that. :) --Bluescreenofdeath (talk) 10:57, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
No offense, but that's rather conceited of you (and I mean that in the best possible way). I mean, in a purely objective sense, the exact same features will be completely different in Slash'EM Extended and in NetHack. Basically what I'm saying is that even if you ported over the features exactly as they appeared in NetHack next version, they would play differently because everything else is different.
209.151.236.12 19:19, 10 February 2015 (UTC)Elronnd
Already
What if they released it on some obscure website no one here knows about? 22:30, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
They'd have announced it in RGRN.
Not even! They would have announced it on nethack.org!! |
# User:Quantum Immortal
I guess I should do what most people do on their userpage here...
I started playing nethack relatively recently.
I didn't like the explore mode much. I learned the game by cheating as hell by savescuming, that was the first ascension.
After the learning curve, I normally ascended: Valkyrie, samurai, wizard, barbarian, tourist. In deed, The Heart of Ahriman was a worthless peace of crap B[ .
I almost ascended an archaeologist, but the day I changed keyboard, I made a typo near the end of Gehemon and put everything in the bag of Holding. Including my +7 Graywandir, orb of detection and .... my wand of cancellation O_O . I just quit it :( .
Now I just started with SLASH'EM. I first ascended a savescumed neutral dopleganger valkyrie. I normally ascended a lawful human valkyrie. Right now I'm at the castle as a chaotic human Wizard. I'll probably ascend him too. |

# Cold resistance
Cold resistance is a fairly important resistance to have. It will protect against most cold attacks and reduce slipping on ice. However, most cold attacks will still freeze potions, destroying them.
Cold resistance is fairly easy to obtain through eating corpses. White dragons provide cold resistance, as do most "cold" monsters, like blue jellies and winter wolves. The Valkyrie starts out with intrinsic cold resistance, being from the frigid Northlands, and Monks get cold resistance at XL 13; any character may gain resistance by crowning. Extrinsic sources of cold resistance include white dragon scales, white dragon scale mail, and the ring of cold resistance, as well as Frost Brand when wielded.
Monsters that are resistant to cold but not to fire are considered vulnerable to fire and take double damage from fireballs[1] and 7 more points of damage from rays of fire.[2] This never applies to your character, even while polymorphed.

# Keystone Kop
Wikipedia has an article about:
Keystone Cops
The K Keystone Kop monster class comprises human law enforcers of various ranks. While they are each not very difficult to eliminate on their own, their numbers are quite intimidating, and they can block your path long enough for more dangerous monsters to catch up with you.
There are four kinds of Kops: Keystone Kops, Kop Sergeants, Kop Lieutenants and Kop Kaptains. Keystone Kops will not become extinct after 120 of each kind have been created,[1] though they are genocidable.
Unlike other humans, the Keystone Kop is a valid polyform, and they also respect Elbereth (but only when occupied by the player); although their symbol is K, they are considered human for all other purposes, including sacrificing.

Kops are not randomly generated, and normally only appear when you overtly steal from a shop. If you step outside but remain near the shop, one swarm is created around you; if you teleport a long distance away or leave the level, one swarm is created around the shopkeeper and another around the down stairs. Each swarm consists of a number of ordinary Kops equal to the dungeon level plus d5, 1⁄3+1 that many sergeants, 1⁄6 that many lieutenants, and 1⁄12 that many kaptains, rounded down in all cases. If the shopkeeper is pacified by any means, any remaining Kops are removed from the level, along with their inventories, including anything they may have picked up.
The Tourist quest goal level generates several Kops in a "police station" in the left half of the level.
Each Kop has a 1⁄3 chance to receive a club or rubber hose (with equal probability) and a 1⁄4 chance to receive 3 to 4 cream pies. Kops never generate with an offensive item, defensive item, miscellaneous item, or gold, and never leave death drops.

Strategy
The Kops are a very good source of experience and cream pies.
One minor strategy with shopkeepers is to steal a gold piece from the shop and leave for a distant corner of the dungeon; this will summon a slew of Kops and their equipment, followed by the shopkeeper. After slaughtering the Kops, pay or pacify the shopkeeper. Note that Kops that evaporate in this way don't leave death drops. Warning! If you angered him by something else than stealing, it will take at least 1000 gold to pacify him; make sure you have that much cash.
Another option, if you are strong enough to deal with a mass of Kops but do not want to face an angry shopkeeper, is to push a boulder onto the doorway of the shop before you steal.
Origin
NetHack's Kops got their name from the Keystone Cops, an incompetent bunch of policemen featured in a series of films from 1912 to 1917.
Variants
Convict patch
In the Convict patch, and variants that integrate it, the Convict quest locate level has some Kops.
UnNetHack
In UnNetHack, when a Kop is killed, there is a 1/5 chance that another is summoned near the stairs and a 1/5 chance that one appears on a random part of the level. In addition, the Kops can no longer be genocided.

SpliceHack 1.1.0 L2562
SpliceHack adds a new Kop, the Korrupt Kop. It is exactly like the Kop Lieutenant, except that it can sometimes be randomly generated.
Encyclopedia entry
The Kops are a brilliant concept. To take a gaggle of inept
policemen and display them over and over again in a series of
riotously funny physical punishments plays equally well to the
peanut gallery and the expensive box seats. People hate cops.
Even people who have never had anything to do with cops hate
them. Of course, we count on them to keep order and to protect
us when we need protecting, and we love them on television shows
in which they have nerves of steel and hearts of gold, but in
the abstract, as a nation, collectively we hate them. They are
too much like high school principals. We're very happy to see
their pants fall down, and they look good to us with pie on
their faces. The Keystone Kops turn up--and they get punished
for it, as they crash into each other, fall down, and suffer
indignity after indignity. Here is pure movie satisfaction.
The Kops are very skillfully presented. The comic originality
and timing in one of their chase scenes requires imagination
to think up, talent to execute, understanding of the medium,
and, of course, raw courage to perform. The Kops are madmen
presented as incompetents, and they're madmen rushing around
in modern machines. What's more, the machines they were operating
in their routines were newly invented and not yet experienced
by the average moviegoer. (In the early days of automobiles,
it was reported that there were only two cars registered in all
of Kansas City, and they ran into each other. There is both
poetry and philosophy in this fact, but most of all, there is
humor. Sennett got the humor.)

# User:Umbire the Phantom/Warrior
This is a revision draft for the article on the Warrior role. If you could help me fill this out, I'd highly appreciate it!
The Warrior is a role that appears in SlashTHEM. They are a pure fighting-class derived from the Knight, though without their jumping ability and less emphasis on offensive spellcasting and mounted combat - the polearms, lance and spellcasting skills outside of divination spells are restricted to them. They also lack the Knight's jumping ability.
Warriors can be any race or alignment.

Rank titles
The status line shows you to be one of the following ranks when you reach the specified experience level:

XL 10-13: Legionnaire
XL 14-17: Crusader
XL 18-21: Baron/ess
XL 22-25: Count/ess
XL 26-29: Duke/Duchess
XL 30: Patriarch/Matriarch
Strategy
The Warrior is a combat-oriented role whose high physical stats allow them to utilize a wide array of melee and ranged weapons. However, they lack any combat spellcasting skills, with their skillset focused more on divination and body spells, and they do not learn any techniques outside of those naturally learned by a particular character's race.
Origin
The Warrior is based on the Gauntlet role with the same name. If the Warrior is weak from hunger, the game will display "Warrior needs food, badly!", which is a reference to Gauntlet's low health warning.

Description
Casting the spell grants temporary intrinsic phasing, allowing you to pass through solid walls and other objects for anywhere between 50 and 149 turns before they become solid again; if you are in a solid object when the phasing wears off, you will be stuck there unless you can dig yourself out, pray, or cast the spell again.
Strategy
Be careful when you cast passwall without enough power to cast it (or, alternatively, dig) again, or at least a pickaxe or mattock to dig yourself out of a wall with; you may find yourself stuck waiting to power up again for a while, leaving yourself open to other phasing monsters such as xorns. On the other hand, if you find yourself being pummeled and there are no such monsters nearby, you can stick yourself in a wall while you wait to heal.
Messages
You feel a little more solid.
Your temporary phasing ability has worn off.

# Talk:Wand of digging
What happens when it's cursed? --24.195.160.124 23:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
As with any wand, there's a chance that it may explode, but if it doesn't, there's no effect on its operation.--Ray Chason 04:08, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Should we include that when you zap it at a closed door, the message "The door is razed!" is produced? Aeronflux 22:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Range
Shouldn't there be information about its range here? According to other spoilers (based on Dylan O'Donnels work, I think) the range is 8..25 in open space while doors and walls count as 3 and roch as 2.
I'm always wondering how many /oDig do I need for the Earth plane and I end up taking too many. Also there are some other effects not mentioned here when zapping downwards when standing on some special things (fountains, sinks, thrones, drawbridge/proticullis, etc) Kynde 07:06, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
Effect on xorns
I remember noticing in SLASH'EM that wands of digging halve the hit points of xorns (with a message about digging a hole through the xorn). Can someone with wizard mode check if this is true for vanilla as well? I don't have access to it right now. -Ion frigate 23:53, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
No effect whatsoever. As an aside, I believe WoD will have the same effect on an earth elemental in SLASH'EM. Besides ghosts, does anything else phase through walls? It might affect them too. -- Qazmlpok 01:53, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Finding it in the source code at Source:SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2/mondata.h#line206, it looks like thick-skinned monsters that can pass through walls are affected, as well as statue gargoyles and stone golems. The only other phasing monsters in SLASH'EM are shades and shadows I believe, neither of which are thick-skinned.
As a sidenote, wands of digging will also vaporize boulders in SLASH'EM. This carries the typical -1 luck penalty in Sokoban. I think I'll go ahead and add all this to the article. -Ion frigate 04:14, 17 November 2010 (UTC) |

# Deferred and defunct features (SlashTHEM)
SlashTHEM was once a variant of Slash'EM Extended v75 - from the v0.8.0 release up until v0.9.3 and 0.9.4, a "Great Cleanup" occurred that either reverted or removed many of those features in order to bring the game much closer to vanilla SLASH'EM, though with some influence from earlier versions of Slash'EM Extended remaining, and subsequently iterate from that point. Some of these removed and reverted features from Slash'EM Extended still remain in the code in a partial form - these deferred and defunct features for SlashTHEM are listed below.
For the sake of brevity, this article will focus on features that still have code in the most recent post-"Great Cleanup" version; as of October 5th, 2022, the latest version of SlashTHEM is v0.9.7.

Quests and artifacts
These racial quests and artifacts from SLASH 6, as well as their associated monsters, were originally deferred in SLASH'EM and removed at some point during SlashTHEM's lifespan; they were reintroduced in commit c1f38b8 and slated for possible future use. SlashTHEM currently has a Lunatic role that acts as a successor to the lycanthrope starting race - as Lunatics use the lycanthrope's racial quest, their quest artifact, leader, guardians, and nemesis are all unchanged.

Starting races
While many of the starting races from Slash'EM Extended were cut, some still have remnants of code left behind, and some others that are present in SlashTHEM were renamed and still retain some of their previous traits.
Asgardian
The Asgardian was a playable race that, among other things, had a 30% chance to gain a random intrinsic the first time they reached a given experience level.
Gigant
Main article: Giant (starting race)#SlashTHEM
The gigant was a starting race that corresponded to playable giants; they were renamed to "giant" in SlashTHEM v0.9.3-0.9.4.
Ogro
Main article: Ogre (starting race)
The ogro was a starting race that corresponded to playable ogres; they were renamed to "ogre" in SlashTHEM v0.9.3-0.9.4.
Trollor
Main article: Troll (starting race)
The trollor was a starting race that corresponded to playable trolls; they were renamed to "troll" in SlashTHEM v0.9.3-0.9.4.
Starting roles
While many roles were removed, some roles previously in Slash'EM Extended are still present in the code of SlashTHEM; two roles in particular were deferred pending a complete rewrite, according to comments by the developer.[1][2] Quest nemeses and other monsters tied to some of these roles can be found within the code of monst.c as well.
Goff
The Goff was a role derived from My Immortal, an infamous Harry Potter fanfiction known for its convoluted narrative and constant digressions, and commonly cited as one of the worst works of fanfiction ever written; the work has also been speculated to be a satire or elaborate "troll" hoax. The work's author self-identified as "Tara Gilesbie" - this name was used for the Goff quest nemesis, T, who still exists within the code of monst.c in SlashTHEM.[3]
Psion
The Psion was a role that does not seem to be related to the Psions of ZAPM, and is slated for a potential rewrite in the future.[2]
The data of monst.c contains entries for the Psion quest leader and quest nemesis: the leader is the Psi Master, @, and the nemesis is Master Sabrina, @.[4][5] Master Sabrina may be based on Sabrina, a Psychic-type Gym Leader from the Pokémon franchise.
Pokemon
The Pokemon was a role with a signature poke ball technique that it could use to try and tame monsters, and is slated for a potential rewrite in the future.[1] The poke ball technique had an increased chance of working on monsters with the M3_PETTY and M3_POKEMON tags, both of which are also unused in SlashTHEM, and references to the technique exist in the role's deferred data and a few other files within the game.
The data of monst.c contains entries for the Pokemon quest leader and quest nemesis, as well as the quest guardians: the leader is Dr. Wusiji, @, the nemesis is Ho-Oh, B, and the guardians are Pokemon trainers, @.[6][7][8]
In the Pokémon franchise, Pokémon trainers are people who catch the eponymous monsters to collect them and/or battle alongside them; the poke ball technique is meant to simulate the Poké Balls used to catch and store Pokémon. Ho-Oh is based on the legendary Pokémon of the same name from the franchise, while Dr. Wusiji is the name used for Professor Elm in Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal, a bootleg of one of the games infamous for its poor translation job.
Zyborg
The Zyborg was a role that gained random techniques from leveling up, among other traits. Their quest nemesis is Master Brain, @, who still exists within the code of monst.c, and is based on the Masterbrain from Fallout 3.[9]
Techniques
Of the techniques that were introduced in Slash'EM Extended, only a handful remain. Four of them - appraisal, booze, create ammo and world fall - are still listed among the defined techniques inherited from Slash'EM Extended in include/tech.h, with a reminder to possibly remove them at some point. However, the booze technique is still actively used, and serves as the signature technique of the Drunk role - the others are among the unused techniques listed below.
Appraisal
Appraisal is a technique that was available to nearly every race; unlike create ammo and worldfall, the functions of the technique were preserved, but are not used by any race or role in SlashTHEM.
Using this technique would allow you to determine the enchantment value or amount of charges for your currently wielded item. Its main use was for weapons, though their enchantment could also be determined via the weapon practice technique on occasion; upon appraising a weapon, there would be a 200-turn timeout, and if used on something other than a weapon, it would take about 2000 turns instead. This timeout would still apply if the wielded item could not have an enchantment value or any amount charges (e.g. potions), or if the enchantment or charge amount was already known.
Create ammo
Create ammo is a a technique that was available to a few roles, including the Pokemon. The technique would add (techlevel+1) bullets to the inventory, unless it was full; every individual bullet had its own chance of being blessed, cursed or having a random positive or negative enchantment. After use, the player would have to wait a random time in order to use it again; the timeout was usually around 500 turns.
Invoke deity
Invoke deity is a commented-out technique that was available to nearly every race; when used, it would hurt or heal you based on your alignment record. A positive alignment record resulted in healing and decreased timeout for prayer, while a negative alignment record resulted in taking damage and increased prayer timeout - if you alignment record was exactly zero, nothing happened. Using this technique broke atheist conduct, and had a timeout of about 3000 turns; negative effects would not (further) anger your god.
World fall
World fall is a technique that was available to a few roles, including the Pokemon. The technique would kill all monsters on the current level, hostile and otherwise, with a level is lower than the technique's level; unique monsters and quest nemeses were immune. The cooldown length was a random number of turns, but usually it would take at least 10,000 turns to recharge.
