Best/Worst Artifacts

[ZoFy]

  Code:

-9-9 ring of Painful Death {Dam-20, Int-5, Str-5, Dex-5}

The first one is awesome, the second one doesn't deserve mention/

The second one would've been worth mentioning as the worst ring ever if it could actually generate in the game. That poster was just exaggerating.

[treerex5]

You're probably right.

[treerex5]

  Code:

the amulet "Doge" {Cons +Blink +Inv rC+ Str-1 Dam+4}

Weird, just found a ring with the same name

  Code:

the cursed ring of the Doge {rPois rF+ rC+}

[duvessa]

That's because "of the Doge" was actually added recently as a predefined artefact name.

[treerex5]

I did not know that...

What's the funniest randart that you've ever seen?

[duvessa]

  Code:

r - the +1,+4 morningstar "Dragonslayer" {slay orc, rC+}

[Sprucery]

  Code:

r - the +1,+4 morningstar "Dragonslayer" {slay orc, rC+}

The perfect weapon for killing those pesky multi-headed orcish ice dragons!

[Sandman25]

the +7,+7 crossbow of Okawaru's Favour (weapon) {penet, rF+ MR++}
(Okawaru gifted it to you on level 6 of the Lair of Beasts)

[prospero14]

l - the +4,+11 executioner's axe of the Blowfly (weapon) {chop, rF+ rC+ rN+ MR++}

In sprint as a troll berserker.

[Sandman25]

l - the +4,+11 executioner's axe of the Blowfly (weapon) {chop, rF+ rC+ rN+ MR++}

In sprint as a troll berserker.

It should have been called "Bloworboffire"

[MDvedh]

  Code:

You finish putting on the +10 scale mail of the Shore {+Inv +Fly rPois Str-1 Acc+6 Dam+5}.
_You feel weaker.

LOL
All those awesome qualities = Well worth that -1 Str

[Silk]

the +11 crystal plate armour of the Archfiend (worn) {+Blink Dam+5}
(Okawaru gifted it to you on level 17 of the Dungeon)

And this, kids, is why we worship Okawaru.

[defen]

u - the +4 ring mail "Suucs" {MR++}
(Okawaru gifted it to you on level 5 of the Spider Nest)

Which does indeed suck for a GrGl wearing

the +14 crystal plate armour of Luifed (worn) {Int+3 SInv}
(You bought it in a shop on level 5 of the Dungeon)

[Sandman25]

Did you have a chance to join Trog before you saw the CPA?

[mopl]

Nice boots

  Code:

-4 pair of boots "Crays" {Int-3 Acc-3}

[Abominae]

Just acquired this in early Lair:
C - the cursed +10,+10 cutlass "Soasky" (weapon) {elec, Contam +Blink +Rage +Inv +Fly rF+ rN+ Stlth--}

Good thing I only had 6 points in Maces.

[earLOBe]

The +5, +11 Demon Trident "Killer Klown's Foe" {Pain, rPois, rF+, rC+, SInv}

I'm even using polearms!

...but I'm a troglodyte.

[mopl]

The +5, +11 Demon Trident "Killer Klown's Foe" {Pain, rPois, rF+, rC+, SInv}

I'm even using polearms!

...but I'm a troglodyte.

Yes, what's the problem ? Cannot train Necromancy... The weapon is good anyway...

  Code:

-10 ring mail of the Saviour {Dex+2 Dam+5} (Okawaru gifted it to you on level 14 of the Dungeon)

Wait... Dam+5 !!

[earLOBe]

The +5, +11 Demon Trident "Killer Klown's Foe" {Pain, rPois, rF+, rC+, SInv}

...but I'm a troglodyte.

Can't get necromancy for the brand - the enchantments and resistances are good but I preferred antimagic/freezing bardiches. Doesn't matter anyway because I got marked in the Depths, at which point a mob opened a door next to me, I was immediately paralyzed by a sphinx and murderized by Frances, a hydra and some others before I got a turn. Nothing like some good old save-or-die fun

[b4rR31_r0l1]

  Code:

The cloak of Somewhere Else {rF++ rN+ Str+2}

That moment when you realize you are a Djinni... ;_;

[rjrrt]

this one really sucks....

17520 | D:10 | Got a pitted cloak
17524 | D:10 | Identified the -1 cloak of the Vacuum {Dex+3} (You acquired it on level 10 of the Dungeon)

[Tedronai]

One of the best swords I've come across so far:

  Code:

 g - the +7,+6 claymore "Lifebane" (weapon) {vamp, rElec rF++ MR+}
   (Trog gifted it to you in an ice cave)   
   
   It inflicts no extra harm, but heals its wielder somewhat when it strikes a
   living foe.
   
   It greatly protects you from fire.
   It insulates you from electricity.
   It affects your resistance to hostile enchantments.


[stickyfingers]

It's cursed, so obviously must be bad:

  Code:

 94646 | Lair:6   | Identified the cursed +0,+3 bardiche of Gub Fap {speed, +Blink MR++ Dex+2} (You found it on level 6 of the Pits of Slime)

[duvessa]

  Code:

 94646 | Lair:6   | Identified the cursed +0,+3 bardiche of Gub Fap {speed, +Blink MR++ Dex+2} (You found it on level 6 of the Pits of Slime)

your username makes this one

[Maverick535]

r - the cursed sabre of the Ass (weapon) {slice, Int -1 Stlth}

[stickyfingers]

If you get stickyfingers from gub fap, then I believe your technique is suboptimal.

[I want to believe]

The +8, +10 mace "Finn" {crush, *Rage rC+}

Apparently crawl makes pop-culture references now.

[bryanpeddy]

While a Human Skald of Fedhas, having dumped a lot into Axes and none into Short blades, I find:

The +7, +9 sabre "Waudeb" (venom, +blink, rF++, MR+, Str+2)

*sigh*

[tasonir]

the +14 crystal plate armour of Luifed (worn) {Int+3 SInv}
(You bought it in a shop on level 5 of the Dungeon)

The int makes that total caster gear, start memorizing magic! I have two contributions myself, from the same game:

b - the +9,+9 longbow "Blumaa" {venom, Noisy rC+ Str+1}
(You bought it in a shop in a bazaar)

M - the +2,+8 bastard sword "Broces" {freeze, rPois rF+ rC+ MR++}
(Okawaru gifted it to you on level 8 of the Lair of Beasts)

Really only the bastard sword (formerly double sword) qualifies as "best", but it's making me consider using 1h/shield and I hate to invest in shields and bows during the same game. Choices, choices

[Bloax]

  Code:

The ring of Egalitarianism {Hunger rElec rC++ rN+ Acc+2 Dam+5}

Now that's a good ring.

[cerebovssquire]

  Code:

The ring of Egalitarianism {Hunger rElec rC++ rN+ Acc+2 Dam+5}

Now that's a good ring.

all monsters are equal in death

[nicolae]

  Code:

The ring of Egalitarianism {Hunger rElec rC++ rN+ Acc+2 Dam+5}

Now that's a good ring.

all monsters are equal in death

except Boris

[njvack]

  Code:

 Your +7,+4 great sword of electrocution stops crackling.
 You feel a brief urge to hack something to bits.
 You feel a build-up of mutagenic energy.
 It is briefly surrounded by a scintillating aura of random colours.
_g - the +7,+11 great sword of Sorghawk (weapon) {chaos, Contam +Rage rC+}


Of course it was from Xom.

[pratamawirya]

  Code:

the +9,+9 glaive of Fropof {antimagic, +Blink +Rage rElec rC+ MR+ Int+2 SInv}

This thing is loaded.

[Sandman25]

the amulet "Procueq" {rMut rPois rF++ Str+3 SInv}
(You found it on level 5 of the Vaults)

[mopl]

  Code:

 n - the ring of Karghov (on tentacle) {+Blink rElec rN+ MR++ AC+3}
   (You took it off a deep elf sorcerer on level 3 of the Elven Halls) 

Was playing an Octopode who had not found any Blink spell before Elf...

  Code:

 g - the +2 hat of Xeigaimi (worn) {rElec rPois Str+1 SInv Stlth}
   (You found it on level 2 of the Orcish Mines) 

  Code:

 a - the -2,+10 executioner's axe of the Five Deaths (weapon) {antimagic, rC++}
   (Trog gifted it to you on level 1 of the Orcish Mines)

My LOBe appreciates this gift...

[Viashino_wizard]

  Code:

Z - the +9,+8 falchion of Purpose (weapon) {slice, +Blink, rElec rF+}
       (You found it on level 8 of Dungeon)

Not bad for being less then halfway through the dungeon.

[Maverick535]

since we don't have a Best/Worst God gifts thread, I'm putting this here.

A robe {god gift}

You shouldn't have, Okawaru.

[mopl]

Sure this one is no artefact, but I should mention it :

  Code:

E - a +1 crystal plate armour of cold resistance

Of course, I'm a spellcaster...

[Xion350]

  Code:

  3717 | D:4      | Bought a smoking cutlass for 171 gold pieces
  3718 | D:4      | Identified the +8,+10 cutlass of the Trees {holy, *Tele Str+2 Dex+1} (You bought it in a shop on level 4 of the Dungeon)

I gleefully equipped it, and wondered why I was teleporting around. Looked at my mutation list, nothing. Then I remembered the teleport bit on the cutlass. It teleports me like every 5 steps it seems. I called it the best and worst artifact that I've found this early on.

... Still worth it though.

Actually since I made this character into a stabber it works quite well for hit and run. Whenever the teleport part wants to yoink me to another part of the dungeon. Crossing my little spriggan fingers for Stasis at some point.

[tompliss]

Isn't the teleport part silent ?
I mean, if it is, it's nearly better for stabbing without having to sneak !

[Bloax]

  Code:

a - the +11,+11 demon blade of the Ghost (weapon) {elec, +Blink}

A very, very polished demon blade.
dck you cheater

[Mattchew]

Spectating I just saw a guy get artifact ring mail +3 rElec rF++ rC++ rN+ MR++ Int -1. I didn't even know that was possible.

[mopl]

It's been a while, but here is what I found today :

  Code:

P - cursed ring of Kizxuot {Hunger rF+ rC+ MR+ Str+3 Dex+3}

And too bad I'm not strong enough to wear this :

  Code:

r - the +4 ice dragon armour of Gaar {rElec rF- rC++ Acc+6 Dam+2}

[Sprucery]

Not very useful Slime loot:

  Code:

170577 | Slime:6  | Identified the amulet of Shruti {Inacc Hunger}

Better Slime loot:

  Code:

170672 | Slime:6  | Identified the amulet "Xaosimeu" {rMut Str+4 Dex+2 Int+4}

[Sandman25]

v - the +7,+8 crossbow "Uddoujul" {velocity, rElec rF+}
(You found it on level 6 of the Lair of Beasts)

[nago]

  Code:

+5 buckler "Vuoth" {rElec rC+ Dam+3}

With a DsTm - why bh is so good!

[Yermak]

  Code:

7 things, total cost 4514 gp [a-z: travel ?/!: change action]

    e - [D:5] the ring of Uxi Pryery {rF+ rC+ Acc+4 Dam+4} (725 gp)
    f - [D:5] the amulet of Suspected Treachery {Faith Str+4 Dex+2 Dam+5} (945 gp)
    g - [D:5] the amulet of Pniduken {rMut rF++ rC+} (1197 gp)

You have 244 gp

Quite lucky floor.

[Amnesiac]

  Code:

 h - a +2 robe of resistance (worn)
You took it off Jessica on level 2 of the Dungeon.
