suggestions for entering level 86 or deeper?

I noticed that a lot of weapons, etc are listed as possibly having hidden powers. I found out info about the weapons on this site. But because they may be hidden-does that mean I have to use *identify* scrolls to activate those hidden powers. I've used self-knowledge potions and assumed that would mean I have all the abilities the items have.

That's exactly what it means. But the need for ?*Identify* was removed in 3.0.10.
Independent from wether the powers are known or not, they work. So yes, everything you learn by Self Knowledge works, but some artifacts have activations you cannot use until you *ID*.

yikes.....have a lot of *identity* scrolls to get before I really am at full potential with what I have so far.

All activations are currently available after ordinary id.

It's a terrible name. Does *ID* mean boldface emphasis on ordinary ID, or refer to the rarer scroll? Who knows. That's why I generally refer to it as *ID, removing the second *. If that scroll is kept in the game, its name needs to change.
