Usage fee

From Wikihack

Need details of messages and charges for various categories of item: This page is a stub. You could probably expand this page should you wish to do so.

If you use an item with limited uses in a shop before paying for it and in the presence of a shopkeeper, you will be charged a usage fee[1]. This includes items with charges, spellbooks and non-permanent light sources.

[edit] Messages associated with usage fees

  • "This is no free library, cad!" - spellbooks
  • "That will cost you (n) zorkmids (Yendorian Fuel Tax)." - potions of oil
  • "Usage fee, (n) zorkmids."; - anything else

Each of these messages has a one-in-three chance of being prefaced with "Hey!" or "Ahem."
