Freaking treasure troves and asking for ridiculous stuff.

Well, you could do lots of mega-zigs.

This is the sort of trove where I'd like to see the contents in the game-end dump. No way I'd ever pay that, but inquiring minds want to know!

Generally if you have 10+ pots of heal wounds, you dont need them. It happens.

Usually the best way to deal with this kind of trove is to pretend it doesn't exist.

If you find an early /HW your stack of HW should grow fairly fast.

That's true. Still, I would estimate that I don't even find 14 !HW in a typical 3-rune game...

An AK could probably scum in the Abyss a looong time and get them. I had to abyss scum for days to get a much-needed cure mut potion once or twice. You tend to get a lot of other stuff in that time.

No Ziggurats available? Scumming Abyss for !curemut seems ...paradoxal? How did you manage to not get more mutated in the process?

I found an amulet of RMut after my worst malmut. I rejected all healing at the time, so I didn't want to go in a ziggurat. I used Leave Abyss ability or just made quick in and outs if a portal back was near where I was when entering the Abyss.

Regular 3 rune game: https://crawl.project357.org/morgue/zzx ... 093430.txt

8 potions of heal wounds in inventory. 10 more were given to a trove. 1 was quaffed.

I just splatted a DsGl of Mahk who had the powered by death mut. 18 pot of HW, not counting the 2 or 3 I used in Shoals5, and I didnt even have a wand. Man... I cant believe that Ice Fiend frosted me that fast :(

It happens! It's just about being patient and keeping it in the back of your mind. Treasure Coves are far from mandatory, though they do brush shoulders with fun, I feel your pain.
