Tomes

I carry tomes of both until Cain is rescued, then only a tome of TP. I don't carry ID because I have a very simple system to determine what I carry back to ID:

Any +skills item (wand, scepter, staff) that actually has a skill bonus, or is rare or magical. Plain vanilla "white" items with no +skills, I leave where they drop, unless I lose my marbles and decide I want to waste an imbue. =P

Any magical or rare heavy armor.

Any ring or ammy. Always the chance of something good, or at least sellable.

Any exceptional throwing weapon (knives, axes, spears, etc). Generally a good price for a small inventory space.

Most other things are decided on the basis of, "do I have the inventory room, and might this be any good?" If there are ID scrolls lying around I'll use them, but I hate to waste 2 inventory spaces carting an ID tome around.

EDIT: P.S. I also carry a full tome of TP for another reason: when dealing with bosses with MR or Stone Skin (if I'm, respectively, a mage-type or melee-type character), or who can do boatloads of damage (the Heffer comes to mind), I'm not above porting to Jamella for some instant life/mana restore a few dozen times in a row. Considering that Hephaesto's curse takes so long to wear off, and the amount of experience I'd lose if he hits my sorcie 2x in a row is so high, I think it's worth blowing hundreds on scroll after scroll for some cheezy Jamella runs. =P
