NetHack-PriceID

NetHack-PriceID 0.04

NetHack, the game of princes, has a large item-identification subgame. The quickest way to gauge how useful an item is is to "price identify" it. This involves trying to buy or sell the item in a store, which tells you its price. Item types (scrolls, potions, wands, etc) are each divided into about five price groups -- price IDing cuts down a large number of possible identities of an item.

The calculations for price IDing aren't that difficult, but making sure to get all the edge cases (such as trying to identify items while the shopkeeper is attacking you -- and charging you more money) can be twiddly.

This module also comes with a priceid script.
