Considering It was just before I got the Silver rune as my second rune, yes. he also gave me this after I finished clearing V:5 as dress armor: +0 robe of Honour {Int+2}.

The worst artefact ever provided how much I paid for it and that I already had +2 CPA and spell-less character. Now I see what is fishing everybody on the internet is afraid of.

  Code:
 72690 | Depths:5 | Bought a slimy pearl dragon armour for 4657 gold pieces
 72690 | Depths:5 | Identified the cursed +0 pearl dragon armour of the Fisher {rN+ Str+2 Int+2 Dex+2, rN+} (You bought it in a shop on level 5 of the Depths)

Quite possibly the most apropos randart ever, from dcss reddit:

A cloak, found on a quickblade.
Does this mean that the quickblade was under the cloak, or that the char was using a quick blade? I'm leaning towards the latter.

I means the character was already using a quickblade. +5 slaying with a quickblade is HUGE, and he is a bezerker so the -5 int doesn’t really matter.

the ring of Xerar (right hand) {rElec rPois Str+4 Dex+4}
the ring of Xuim (left hand) {Contam rPois rN++ Str+3 Int+4}
the ring of Liberty {+Fly MR- Int+6 Dex+6}
the ring of Xom's Bemusement {+Blink rC+ MP+9 Int+3}


If only I were an octopode, all in 1 run on a VSFi who also has a ring of the octopus king he hasnt id'd yet and has dropped 4 other viable but inferior artifact rings.

Also fond of his other pieces right now;

  Code:
the +4 chain mail "Vehupt" (worn) {Regen+ Str+2 Int+5}
the amulet "Iklyejido" (around neck) {+Rage rF++}
the +1 cloak of Broken Taboos (worn) {+Inv MR+ Str+3 SInv}


Wicked selection of evocables to go with the evocations manual he found.

Also
  Code:
S - +0 pair of boots "Ypyden" {rPois rF+ rN+ rCorr}

Really useful set of resists to have on a boot slot, +0 I can live with for that package.

It changed to max +12 in 0.16, along with the other randart generation changes. +12 is quite rare.

the +5 mottled dragon armour of Goosus {rF- rC+ Regen+ rCorr Dex+4}


Found it in a shop on Orc:1. Sadly I'm a MfTm; who; even more hilariously; worships Ru and has sacrificed Durability.

I'm still probobly going to wear this whereever I don't expect much Fire and will go Blade Handing as my Transmuation of Choice. This thing seems tailored to Slime.

But it's awesome because it's Randart Dragon Armor. Also even with Armor 0 the +Dex more than counteracts the EV penalty; and the spellcasting penalty is not large enough to hinder me.

Now tell me thats not awesome. 2071 gold from Snake:1, and cheap at half the price. MfGl who was wearing +8 Chain {-cast Regen+ Str+3}, immediate trade-up. (guess he's training Armour forever, fair 'nuff)

I just love Regen on my body armour slot, and this is quite possibly the sexiest thing I've had drop yet...

Didn't check the leather, but checking the plate armour we find

Identified the +9 lajatang of Huocs {flame, rElec MR- Int-5 Dex+2} (Okawaru gifted it to you on level 10 of the Dungeon)

My character's int? Exactly 5. Went brainless wield-IDing it. Still ended up using it for a little while after finding an rF int+2 ring. Had to abandon it for staff of earth to meet a challenge requirement :)

Well, negative AC is better than zero because you lost less AC. I suspect you are a caster so probably wearing it for rF+ and sInv is not that bad.

Isn't faith really really good for a Qazlal char? You can just nuke most mutators with your smite-targeted invocations.
