Okawaru sneaky-buff??
I was running a v0.12 centaur hunter of Oka. Getting my arrow-gifts, doing my thing, etc. Hit about lvl14 before I was like: ehhhh...let's try a polearm-focused hunter and see how that goes. Getting bows to 24 seems to be sort of excessive.
So, rather than killing him off, I started a new Centaur in v0.13. Okawaru is SHOWERING me with gifts. I'm getting gifts so fast that I might not even need to pick up another basic arrow again. I'm getting gifts so fast that I feel like a spoilt pretty-girl getting hit on by a poor lovestruck dope. I'm getting gifts so fast that you'd think I was sucking Oka's **** in the middle of Weapons'R'Us. I'm.... you get the idea.
The really *TELLING* part is that I'm getting this all WITHOUT an amulet of faith! My gift rate is easily 2-3x better than it was in v0.12... WITH that amulet! This culminated in a moment where i used a berserk pot to kill off 3 deathyaks and a hydra and got two gifts WITHIN FIVE TURNS of each other!! So. . .no gift timeout on arrow gifts? Or all gifts? Or . . .what?
To say "I'm happy" would be an understatement. This makes playing an archer so much more fun for me. But I can't figure whether or not this is a glitch. I know Sif Muna used to operate on a "no gift timeout" basis. That's why on one floor of Zot you'd get 2-3 gifts sometimes. Has this concept been expanded to Oka? To all gift-gods? What am I missing?
