Hi!
I got 3 scrolls of acquirement on D1 and I believe it was not possible before. Do I remember it wrong or is it a bug? I am on webtiles trunk.

This was part of a series of commits by Hellmonk, aimed at making early D more exciting. It wasn't possible before, but anything goes now!

And that's a quote from the above mentioned link:

I think so too.

I had found crystal plate armours and gold dragon armours in D1 before these changes. Acquirement is not so good that it makes startscumming issue worse.

Also, D:1 acquirements often aren't that good, as a lot of rather ordinary items are still unfound.

For the record I took gold from 2 of the acquirements and it allowed me to buy dragon king armour (the best possible armour for Pa) before orc. Easy win.

I'm sure it helped that you found dragon king armour in a shop before Orc; but congrats!
