Post any artifact you've recently found which kind of sucks but has a cool name.
I'll begin with this one:

the +5, +9 hand axe of Trog's Brutal Revenge (god gift, flame, rElec, Int -4}

In terms of gameplay I'd say Alpha Centauri with the expansion.
In terms of storyline Planescape Torment.
And Fallout 2 might be one of the best games ever created.

I don't really care about 3d games... which is 99% of the games nowadays.

There is no Okawaru altar anywhere on levels 1-10, could it be in the Orc Mines?

ANSWER: No. It was on Level 9, well hidden.

The first time I've seen anything like this ...
It was on Webtiles 0.9, btw.

When you win the game, does inventory matter for your final score (in 0.9 and 0.10)

To ALWAYS obtain rods from Acquirement, wear any item which prevents spellcasting or worship Trog.
(And select e - Staff obviously)

1. Don't underestimate spiny frogs, even if you've killed a ton already. 2. Mara is ridiculously dangerous I HATE THOSE THINGS. Spiny Frogs. I hate them. I thought Black Mambas were bad at first but really, not even close. I had a bout against Mara once, and she was a riddle to take down, but even ...

[url=http://www.gitorious.org/crawl/crawl/commit/eb71eb6f778cc1bedcda4273de0b9c5b4c8b350e]I've actually seen a lot of people thinking that (for example) a -1, +5 whip is the same as a +0, +0 demon whip. Offtopic but could you explain the difference. I've been playing for 2 years now and always thou...

I have had a string of bad luck with armour acquirement lately. Like, cripplingly awful stuff, -4 boots with damage penalties and the like. On the other hand, I just found the Sword of Power on the floor of Lair:8, and it's already at +11/+11, so... mustn't grumble eh :) Honestly I can't remember t...

What brand would be more effective against the rune guardians in Hell and Pan: antimagic or vorpal?

In my current game, I got my first Acquirement scroll on dungeon level 8 or 9. Got Gold from it, about 3K+. With the money I was able to buy PDA, randart gloves, another piece of armour, some enchant armour scrolls and a new scroll of Acquirement for 650 and still had some gold left. I'm curious - ...

This was my first win on the Webtiles server. Unfortunately I can't retrieve the char dump (it says not found) but this was one of the strongest characters I've ever played with. Incredibly powerful in the endgame with about AC 35 and EV 35, full resistances, maxed out Long Blades, Fighting, Armour ...

Yay it's back!

Webtiles seem to be down since yesterday. Can anyone confirm that?

In my online game: Louise, Mara, Rocca, Nikola and Norris on the same level.

You spend a moment contemplating the meaning of unlife.

Didn't help much against a zerking Rupert with a mace of Holy Wrath ...

3 rings of protection of fire for my Mummy Beserker.

Of course after retrieving all runes but the 4 Pandemonium ones I died miserably in a Zig

Oh, really? I've been playing 0.9 for a few days and this is my first sword-wielding character. Having said that, I don't recall seeing katanas lying around in my previous games either, so you might be right.

Is it worth wearing a Ring of regeneration?
Does wearing a ring of hunger speed your metabolism further than what you already have (lightning fast metabolism mutation)
Does a Ring of sustenance offset an item with 'Hunger'?

Are you playing 0.8?

In my last game (0.8), I've had my Int drop well below 0 and that did not affect my character. Have there been any changes to stat death?

The "gloom/silence" vault was also really nice. For a non-caster that is

From my experience you start glowing the longer you wear them. You won't be in trouble for just trying them on. So it might be wise to keep them for special occasions or wear them with rMut (which is still risky) Bear in mind that mutations you get from glowing are determined to be bad mutations 4 o...

All bracers in the game are "bracers of archery" and only they have the "archery" property.

Yes, sorry, Divine Shield.
You already have Shields skill starting as Paladin so when you switch to a 2-hander you still benefit from it.

I just encountered a vault guarded by a lot of iron golems. I had to dispatch all of them and clear the way into the vault. There, in the middle of the room was lying the ring of robustness.

Wearing a ring of regeneration will help a lot, and avoiding fighting too many enemies at once, especially ranged attackers.
Summon Divine Warrior when necessary :>

I think I skipped the level for a while and then came back to finish them little by little. I was playing an Air Elementalist so I had to lure them in the corridors where I could multizap them with lightning bolts. It happened with this character who escaped to tell the tale :) https://crawl.develz....

I've encountered it filled with Draconians on Level 25.

Yes, thankfully.

Chei should be a good option, I think, for a HE Warper. You can get to 40+ Int really quickly (no hunger from spells)
Never tried it though.

Or you can play as a backstabber with controlled blink.

So stupid ...
I thought hey, let's pop in the Zig, clear a few floors, get some nice items and then come back finish Cerebov.
It's strange that Zigs in Pandemonim don't behave like the ones in the Dungeon.

It was just a staircase in the middle of nowhere I guess :>

I was on the Cerebov level in Pan. Tried to fight him but had to run away. I got into a Zig on the same level, but when I came out of it I was on a different Pan level!
Is Cerebov's level lost now?

After going to hell and back (literally) trying to find some good resistance armour for my Troll Paladin (to avoid swapping rings back and forth) I finally found what I needed in a Zig:

the +5 cap "Shyahai" {rF++ rC+}

What's wrong about a weapon having a Latin name?
