Best item

Ah, fond memories of the great Wishing war of long ago, where all the nations of the land were Wishing for Frost Brands. Those were the days!

Wish is bugged, and removes all other instances of the wished-for item even if the item in question ISN'T unique. I can see a massive dis-armanent campaign going on. "NO MORE FROST BRANDS! NO MORE DWARVEN HAMMERS! NO MORE STARSHINE SKULLCAPS!"

Ekhem, you mean there is an exploit that if I wish for dwarven hammer every dwarven hammer in the game disappears and no one can forge it?

New ones can be forged, but that's still a bug and a nasty exploit.
Actually, I'll go check if it's already in the shortlist, and report it if it isn't. It's been there for a long, long time... I encountered it when I started using 1-gem Wish for all my tests, and noticed I can't get two Swords of Swiftness at the same time without forging.

I was just making a wee bit of a joke with my post. Are you serious? If so, it sounds like a pretty good case for being added to the bug list.

Rlyeh can haz wish? I stol yur Amulets of Antimagix.

Actually, it seems like I never tested it properly. It removes ONE existing instance of that item, so I can't wish for two Frost Brands or whatever in my test games, but if I forge 5 of them, only one will disappear when I Wish for it.

I tested wishing for a Blood Stone. It removes one Blood Stone from each nation, not every Blood Stone from every nation. Still, it's a bit buggy.

Edit: Like Endo said...

[Endoperez]

Nasty for something like Rings of Wizardry. Thankfully it's cheaper to have that S9 mage forge a RoW instead of wishing for one, and in most cases to empower him/wish for magic than to wish for boosters.

That's going into the shortlist right now...

EDIT: Does it work so that it removes one instance of the item from all other nations except the nation doing the wishing?

[Sombre]

I think it removes one from the nation casting wish too.

[LDiCesare]

It makes sense to remove one item if it already exists, though. Easier for the desire demon to bring you one than forge it themselves (if anyone played the pnp Stormbringer game, that was how wishes were handled there). Too bad it takes one from all nations.
