I wonder how archer of lvl 22 could spent a wish? Khelavaster saved,
scroll of danger and PoCR already found. Have not intrinsic acid, cold
and shock resistances (lost in Darkforge's pools ). Have no acid
resistance sources (except rings).

Maybe giant boar skull? Currently I have a list ordered with
"priority":
- Food preservation -- will give some chances in scumming for
immunities (slugs, dragons)
- crown of lightning (since there is no good headgear in ADOM this is
very good source of very important immunity)
- girdle of giant strength (just cool -- I have 36 St already)
- bracers of resistance
- whip of the snake (I wonder how it feels to fight with two such
whips)
- slaughtering whip

Something else? Maybe ask for potions of education hoping for lady
Luck?

Currently I am very troubled with absence of acid resistance. But
Alertness=100 and Dex=36 give a good chance to avoid blasts. Fighting
Emperor Lich was a piece of cake All of his spells missed

Bye.
Sincerely yours, Mike.

Well, personally I'm a huge fan of whips of the snake - they can do a huge
amount of damage when trained up, and the boosts to Dex and speed are nice
in themself. Just don't bring them into the ToEF without a couple of
blessed rings of ice...

Other than that, eternium tower shields and eternium plate mails can be very
handy - the latter especially so for an archer who can wield two and still
fire off killer shots.

Otherwise, well, wishes aren't really as great as they're made to be,
sometimes... You might want to keep it till towards the end of the game,
when you will probably need more SoCRs... But personally I always have a
"live for the present" attitude - especially with ADOM when you might
actually die the next minute. That makes an AoLS quite valuable somtimes...

Have you done the tower of eternal flame yet? If you haven't, i'd
recommend either 1) rings of elemental mastery (for the fire and ice
immunity
or 2) rings of ice. I say this purely because your an archer, and
archers find the tower very very hard, as all your ammo burns up.
Having two blessed rings of ice means you won't lose anything at all. A
very good bonus to your chances of surviving.
