	There are 3 shops. The first one is with weapons, rings, there can be also a scarf, an amulet (0.33 version), and there is a chance for there to be some special artifacts like slippery slippers, hat of the bear spirit, orange crystal plate armour. The second ~~ship~~ is with books, wands, manual, talismans (often an artifact talisman). The last one is with darts, potions, scrolls.		There are 3 shops.

The second shop is with books, wands, manual, talismans (often an artifact talisman). The last one is with darts, potions, scrolls.

	The items are generally chaos themed and considered "risky" (for example slick slippers, hat of the bear spirit, or potions like berserk, ambrosia), but generally very cheap for how strong they are and it's not uncommon to find amazing artifacts for less than 1000 gold. Scrolls of immolation can cost 24 gold each, 3 potions of berserk cost 90 gold, and wands go for like ~171 gold for ~13 charges of wand of warping. I don't remember the exact prices for all of these items, but they are in the ballpark.

	Chaos knight (CK) is considered a challenging start. You start with a god, but that god is Xom, a chaotic and unpredictable god capable of both granting you aid and making your situation worse. Chaos knight may seem like just a challenge start, a background somebody would pick only for a challenge, or to get their greater player title. Many have given up on Xom from the get-go, splatting dozens of CKs switching god as soon as possible. But there is a lot that can be said about Xom mechanics and the rather complex experience of having Xom as your god. In this guide you will find everything you should know about Xom in general, and about CK start in particular, everything you should know so that you can get the most out of a CK, or any character worshipping Xom for that matter.

			In 0.34 you can't rejoin the same god when you are under penance except for the 3 good gods, so altar-assisted Xom scumming doesn't work there.

	If you abandon a god you are put under penance. However, if you then rejoin the same god you will no longer be under penance, and your piety will be reset to the starting value. This can be exploited with Xom, since unlike with other gods, Xom piety doesn't start at 0, it starts in the middle, displayed as value 4 out of 7.		If you abandon a god you are put under penance.

	Altar-assisted Xom scumming is most useful when type 1 Xom scumming. If you find a Xom altar early on in the game before you reach level 9, then resetting your piety at an altar when it reaches one of the 3 lowest values will increase the number of positive Xom actions, and ideally you would be doing it.

	Here is how player clones work: They are basically like player ghosts except that if you are living they are living, if you are undead they are undead, they are not always insubstantial undead, unless you are an insubstantial undead. This means that things like curare can work on them.

This means that things like curare can work on them.

			Clones can be dismissed with Yara's Violent Unravelling just like regular Xom summons, so if you have Yara's Violent Unravelling, then it's much easier to safely use the spells listed here without risking your clones killing you with your own spells.
