...you jerks. I can only assume this was added in response to the "Zorkmids are worthless" Thread. 9.5 million Zorkmids my ass. =P
Not one of those insane things, but I did find a Time Lord Scarf in a level 3 fountain once. That was pretty awesome
Finding one of those in a fountain in the second room I open in a new game is still one of the best things that ever happened to me in this game
I found one in a shop earlier for about 10,125,000. I found two, but the selling price was small in comparison (about 3,000,000). Not much use as I'm finishing up floor 13 and have all the best gear I could find so far.
From picking a bunch up earlier my character was able to end the game comfortably with 36,000,000 Zorkmids.
Yeah, I remember finding those, and they're nice. That one Brax has for sale is actually a bit weaker than the one I currently have, but still. I found 2 of mine in mysterious portals. While they can spawn monsters from all over, sometimes you get lucky. And only run into one arch-diggle, which surprisingly is not that dangerous.
I suppose it could be worse; I'd actually found 2 or 3 Crownstars before seeing that one in the shop, which took a little bit of the sting away. But still. Jerks. =p Edit: Good lord, they get worse... ...just shy of 13 million Zorkmids...
At that point I'd just do a smash and grab. Smash Brax(es) and collectors, grab loot. I loved doing that in NetHack to shopkeepers. Low on zorkmids? Chaotic? Got mag resist/reflect? Kick ass and take expensive things.
The worst part is that I totally planned to do that on, say, Floor 14 - if only for the achievement(s) - and then I completely forgot to because I was so focused on not dying before getting Lord Dredmor down.
