Miscellaneous Information

Here is a bunch of cool Wizardry info sent to me by Ben Danielson:

Getting items after killing tough monsters was probably my favorite part of the game.  So here are the treasure types of the toughest monsters in the game.  (WERDNA is his own treasure type)  Getting those Silver Gloves or Ring of Pro Undead was always great, but after a little research I found out which monsters could have the best items.
 
 
Monsters of  Treasure Type 17
This consists of 10-2000  GP
100% chance of having item 17-32
50% chance of having item 33-51
15% chance of having item 52-79
Fire Giant
Gorgons
Level 8 Bishops
Level 8 Fighter
Level 10 Mage
Thief
Master Ninja
Will O Wisp
Bleeb
 
Monsters of Treasure Type 18: 
This consists of 10-4000 GP 
70% chance of having item 33-51 
25% chance of having item 52-79 
5% chance of having item 79-92 
Frost Giant
Fire Dragon
High Priest
High Wizard
Master Thief
Hatamoto
Vampire
Greater Demon
Poison Giant
Dragon Zombie
 
 
Monsters of Treasure Type 19: 
This consists of 10-4000 GP 
100% chance of having item 33-51 
50% chance of having item 52-79 
15% chance of having item 78-91
Raver Lord
High Master
Conehead
Fleck
Slime
Arch Mage
Maelifics
Vampire Lord

As you can see you need to get a monster with a 18 or 19 to have any chance
at the really good items.....ie Lords Garb, Murasma Blade, Ring of Healing,
+3 Plate, etc....But the funny thing is that to get an item 92 (Ring Pro
Undead) you need to get an 18 monster, a treasure type 19 only went up to
91.

93 Deadly Ring Cursed...-3 Regeneration NA
94 Werdna's Amulet Cast Malor
Regeneration +5
Evil only
Pro all but Enchanted
Resist all... 
Special:  Heal all HP		 +10
 

As you can see Werdnas amulet is the most powerful item...but it doesn't
really do you much good...although you can get it, then teleport back to
level 9 and adventure for a while with it....once you go up to the city
with it you lose all your items etc....so it doesn't do that much good

Otherwise the Lords garb is the best....that +10 AC and regen and the
protections make it the best item IMHO.  Obviously the best weapon is the
murasma blade.
 
I think that the Dragon slayer, were slayer, and mage masher all did extra
damage against Dragons or weres or mages....I dont have it in my notes but
this only makes sense.
