Just Five Questions... :)

[Darth Nepharious]

Hi there, folks!

Some questions here which would like to be answered: :)

1) What could the best wishes be for a (human) Barbarian (neutral; level 12-16)? I got one wish at Dlvl #7, and the first thing I thought was "a blessed figurine of an Archon" (I realized now that a Solar might be a better pet). Dear Crom sent me a wonderful Cleaver (blessed, rustproof, +2) before, so I didn't know what kind of wish to ask for. Now I got a blessed magic lamp and there's a possibility to get another wish, so I'd like to ask for one *real* good and not waste it (although Mr. Archon ain't a bad fella, after all; he's a kind sidekick and very recommendable).

2) I've got some Dragon scales: how do I set them to make an armour, and how many I need to make it?

3) How could I turn a weapon/armour into a rust/fireproof one? A (blessed, uncursed) Can of Grease could make the miracle?

4) I got the Eye of the Beholder... but I think it's not so very useful for a Barbarian, despite some invokations it worked... well, just fine. What could I do with this artifact? Is it good to sacrifice to your god (though it's cursed)? Are Shopkeepers interested on this item? Any idea? (No, I don't wanna eat it, pals) ;)

5) How to convert an altar for your god (i.e., Temple of Moloch's)? What kind of benefits could get from this action (beside luck, I guess)?

Thanks for your help!
Greetings from Spain.

http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~eva/nethack/spoilerlist.html
is a good source of nethack/slash'em spoilers (where you can find answer  
to most of your questions).
And http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~eva/slashem/index.html
will give the Slash'em-specific stuff.

Dragon scale mail is usually good but since you already have dragon  
scales...
If you don't have a magic whistle (to go with an uberpowerful pet...),  
several potions of gain level might help.
If you don't have a BoH, the Wallet of Perseus is nice.
You can go for some other big nasty artefact weapon. Frost/Fire brand are  
often considered good (and #twoweaponing both can be quite funny).
Otherwise, read the wishing spoiler, read the Slash'em artefacts list.

That's actually 2 questions :-)
You need to enchant them. More in the spoilers... (or at the Oracle, iirc).
One is sufficient, but you may want to chose the colour.

By slightly misreading a scroll that already affect it. More in the  
spoilers (and at Oracel, again).

Nothing else. Do not invoke it too often, that might be bad (see spoilers).

By #offering something on it. See spoilers for details. I'm not sure you  
can convert Moloch's altar, however.
