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 state | Result |
|---|---|
| Blessed | Reveals every item name in one randomly chosen category. |
| Uncursed | Reveals every item name in one randomly chosen category. |
| Cursed | Reveals 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.
