Good finds on D:1

[gdami1]

A Pearl Dragon hide... I didn't have time enough to enchant it

[diviton]

Found a Staff of Summoning on D:1 for my MuSu. It's funny because that thing really helped. I probably splatted 20+ MuSu's without ever making it past the Lair, but on the playthrough that got me that Staff of Summoning on D:1, I took that character to my first 15 rune victory.

[gdami1]

My CiP MiBe found a +6 ring of AC and a +3 ring of AC

It DOES help

Myself.

[Grimm]

Were you looking for yourself? That makes a difference.

[Jabberwocky]

I once had a shirt with a pattern that was uncomfortably close to dazzle camouflage. It prevented me from finding out where various parts of my body were.

I was looking for someone else entirely so the find was a surprising one.

[BlackSheep]

Perhaps by looking for someone else, you became someone else?

New item for Crawl Tavern Bingo:

Grimm points out that someone has previously said the same thing.

[Jabberwocky]

Of course Grimm himself is well known for repeating certain catchphrases.

Yes that's called a running joke, what whippersnappers today know as a "meme", though that's a debased usage.

The hegemonic exercise of power indirectly, based on surveillance, knowledge, and control over discourse. I see you are a student of Foucault, Grimm.

Excellent use of linking there professor.

I say we string 'im up and use him to demonstrate the teachings of that other Foucault.

No! You know it's bad luck to lynch a Scotsman.

I'll admit that my usual practice is to leave forums once the death threats start.

[Jabberwocky]

That sounds thoroughly reasonable.

I found fire dragon armor on D:1 before. And guess what? I was playing a Draconian (I think. It could have been an octopode. I know I couldn't wear it at all)

Here's something cool though. Not exactly D:1, but still...

Xom can be pretty cool...at times. Once, he gave me a bottled Efreet and I killed myself with it

My current character is a plaything of Xom, and so far, amongst various good things (like confusing all my enemies when they confuse me, to giving me the evolution mutation), the latest thing was that he gave me a 'minor favor', which happened to be the equivalent of a potion of experience. At D:7 (In the Orcish Mines)!

It helps that my amulet of stasis prevents him from teleporting me all over the place

EDIT: And THEN I found a Grand Grimore at D:3 :O

[yandayixia]

Mountain Dwarf Assassin

I do not have room for a stealthy, creeping Mountain Dwarf in my brain.

Me neither.....

All right, not a good sight...

[yandayixia]

2 potions of experience on D1!!!!!!!

[Stormfox]

Mountain Dwarf Assassin

I do not have room for a stealthy, creeping Mountain Dwarf in my brain.

Me neither..... :?

All right, not a good sight... ;)

Oh, come now. When was the last time you saw a mountain dwarf at all, much less an assassin? Shows just how stealthy they are these days.

[yandayixia]

Good ONE!!!!

So you mean that you would also want a Mountain Troll to be a thief? That's actually a good idea!!! NOT

[boztakang]

Best find on D:1 was a ring of slaying back when I was new at the game. I died a few levels later.

Ditto. I swear my SpEn found a +8 +8 ring of slaying. I think it was D:1 but it may have been as deep as D:4. Yes, it died later. I was too new to the game to realize it was might be the single strongest item ever generated by the RNG!

I'm near certain i found the ring on D1, though it could possibly have been 2...

I think the very next game after that one started in a vault with an "orb of Zot" and 3 "runes" behind a transparent wall - and ended approximately 200 turns later when i got one-shot electrocuted by a kobold from full health, still on level 1. I secretly consider this to be the fastest "speed run" ever, and steadfastly refuse to be dissuaded from that belief by the fact that the Orb was clearly fake, or even by the wee niggling detail that I didn't technically get out alive.

[Serfuzz]

A gold dragon hide. Needless to say, my character died before finding an enchantment scroll.

[Sporkman]

Just recently found a +0,+7 Orcish Short Sword of Protection on D:1.

(Sadly, I was mucking about with the new features of Trunk in WizMode at the time.)

[estrael]

I just found both a short sword and a dagger of speed on D1.
Needless to say, I'm currently trying out a Draconian Wizard.

[Jabberwocky]

+6 ring of dexterity.

[midknight129]

Really Crawl? Of all the Spriggans and Orcs and Kobolds and Elves and Humans and whatnot I've run... you spawn a Cloak of Poison Resistance on D1 for my vampire enchanter? Scumbag RNG...

[Sandman25]

Not D1 find, but it is ridiculous to be at D6 with 11 Scrolls of Identify and that is after identifying everything possible (7 potions and an amulet)

[tcjsavannah]

Six-charge Wand of Heal Wounds. Needless to say that character met a quick and untimely end thanks to Eustacio's hordes of summons.

[Sandman25]

+5 ring of Protection. After almost dying to Kobold with exploding darts - I had 4 hp and still in LOS so I quaffed the only (unknown) potion which luckily turned out potion of curing.

[prozacelf]

Not D:1, but I just found Storm Dragon Armor on D:2. Of course it was on an imp, but a good stab got rid of him. A fat lot of good it'll do my VpEn too.....

[gorbeh]

mummy monk-troll leather armour on d1
draconian warper-bardiche (i dunno if it was d1 or d2)
draconian forgotwhat-pearl dragon armour (d1 or d2,cant remember
BUT
octopode forgotwhat-+6 ring of protection d1

[daggaz]

A few things Ive found to be incredibly useful on D1 or D2, not necessarily found in the same game:

8 darts of dispersal
4 curare needles
2 needles of paralysis
a dagger of venom/draining/electricity (+ whatever + whatever)
an uncursed sling (dropped by a goblin) and 16 sling bullets (same goblin)
2 potions of cure wounds

and this one time??
a potion of speed AND a wand of frost. Fuck. Yes.

Boots of running on d:1. Nice. They came with an extra +1 armour too!

D1 running is possibly the sweetest RNG moment there is.

[Lafaros]

The very first boots of running I ever found was a pair on D:1. I didn't even know they existed.

It was a life-changing moment.
