The '''jane's guide to treasure''' is a [[Scrolls|scroll]] in the Omega 0.90.4 remake. It appears as a bright-yellow {{Omega glyph|?|color=yellow|label=question mark}} until its shuffled inscription is identified. Its cursed appearance is ''Jane's guide to treasure''.
'''Jane's guide to treasure''' reveals every item name in one randomly chosen item category. Its identified name is unchanged by BUC state.


== Generation and appearance ==
== Effects and interactions ==
Once item generation has selected the scroll class, it chooses uniformly among all 24 scroll IDs and copies the selected definition. The class definitions are neutral by default. Thirty unidentified inscriptions are shuffled at game initialization, so the visible label does not reliably identify this type between games.
 
== Data and mechanics ==
The definition has base value 50, item level 2, weight 5, fragility 1, and the COMMON flag. The base value is the definition value, not a promised shop price. Reading is unavailable while blind or afraid; cancelling the inventory prompt spends no scroll, while successful dispatch normally consumes one.

Use the guide early enough that a random category still contains many unknown types. Its value falls as normal identification fills the catalog, but it can still expose a whole class without touching individual inventory objects.

Jane's guide to treasure reveals every item name in one randomly chosen item category. Its identified name is unchanged by BUC state.

Effects and interactions

BUC stateResult
BlessedReveals every item name in one randomly chosen category.
UncursedReveals every item name in one randomly chosen category.
CursedReveals every item name in one randomly chosen category.

Reading chooses one of six categories: armor, weapons, sticks, rings, scrolls, or potions. Every item name in that category becomes recognizable, and a menu displays the names.

The guide identifies itself before choosing the category. BUC state does not change the result.

Strategy

Use the guide early enough that a random category still contains many unknown types. Its value falls as normal identification fills the catalog, but it can still expose a whole class without touching individual inventory objects.
