Re: Set armour training min skill to avoid disadvantages

You can do this by setting your armour skill target to 27 (there's no breakpoint where you can entirely get rid of the spellcasting penalty from armour).

Re: Unrandarts in Bazaars

That's not the reason that unrandarts don't appear in the Abyss (and in fact, if you leave an unrand in the Abyss it'll be marked as "lost in Abyss" and become eligible to generate in the Abyss again until you find it again and pick it back up).

Re: weird sewer vault

It's a weird quirk of the way the vault (sewer_co_cracked_pipes) is built - there are multiple paths between each of those corridors and one of them gets picked at random to be accessible when the vault generates. The other paths still exist but can't be reached (unless you have Shatter online someh...

Highlighting the relevant summons/summoner when a monster is x'ed over has been a (very) longstanding plan, it's certainly a good idea but the related display code is unsurprisingly fairly complicated. Patches welcome to speed up the process!

Taking actions other than attacking makes berserk expire very quickly, and you in fact took two steps before actually reaching Mennas and starting to attack (and then made something like 4 attacks before berserk expired, so not a particularly unusual result).

They're not especially rare at all, you presumably just reach that point in the game less often.
