Notes

If you are a lawful character with an experience level of 5 or above, you can dip a normal long sword into a magic fountain (original NetHack fountain), and you have a 1/4 chance of being given the Excalibur by the Lady of the lake. The dipped long sword will turn into a rustproof +0 Excalibur.
