Potions of booze are the most OP item in the early game. Trouble at home is actually a secret BFG room.

They do. They do poison damage even. Potions of blindness do darkness damage. Potions of sleep and slow - you get the idea.

As above though, booze is the undisputed king of thrown items.

What about mushrooms of Hallcuniation. They don't auto destry, but when I manually destroy them I don't get the 'A' option to add them to the auto destroy list

It is just that auto-destroy is set to kill almost all of those

Scrolls of darkness are classified as worthless but staffs of darkness are not

Possibly because they can be 'eaten' by Golems and the like?

Arguably true, you do after all! It's just on the @ rather then the |

Some monsters and artifacts (often Japanese ones, or ones added by Japanese maintainers) don't have descriptions. Gwarl (with the help of kobold and MITZE) is working on adding them for Composband I think, and I may look into stealing their descriptions if they do, though I think filling in missing body/possessor information is a higher priority than the missing descriptions.

I just played a berseker, he was slaughtering everything until there was a summoning situation, surrounded by foes I used earthquake again and again, no square within a radius of 1 from my character was effected, and I'm pretty sure no square within a radius of 2 of my character was effected, I must have done at least 10 earthquakes, it was on a normal Angband level, or has earthquake always been like that, and I'm thinking of destruction

Destruction is guaranteed to hit every square (though not guaranteed to turn every square into a wall, or to eliminate the monsters in them), while earthquake only hits 15% of squares, so it can easily miss the squares you're imost nterested in through sheer bad luck. Also, monsters hit by earthquakes can try to move to adjacent empty squares instead of being embedded in the rock; they will still take damage if successful, but not very much by late-game standards.

The earthquake code is very similar to Vanilla's, so I don't think it's changed much lately.

Was there an Ohmu in the area? Ohmu surround themselves with death molds, it can look like the molds are multiplying if you don't realize it's the Ohmu.

While I don't want to speak categorically, to the best of my knowledge, this is already the case on both points. That is, to the best of my knowledge, special feelings already are caused by unIDed artifacts only, as you desire.

I have encountered one situation where I simply could not find the artifact in question, so there may be some strange edge cases. (I may have just been unobservant, of course.)

Just as a reminder, and without assuming that you definitely don't know these things, I'd like to point out that:

* quest levels have the same light blue feeling color as special-feeling levels. (Ctrl-F will show you the real feeling in this case.)
* feelings are not checked nonstop, so it can take a little while from the time when you find the un-IDed artifact until the time when the feeling changes.
