Best/Worst Artifacts

[notcluie]

o - the +2 robe of Autotheism (worn) {Int+1 Slay+6}
i think this is the best thing ive ever got pre-temple except that one time i acquired fencer gloves and when i found bloodbane lying around d:4 but do unrands really count

[duvessa]

i found u're mom on d:4 once

[Arrhythmia]

i found u're mom on d:4 once

Was it in a shop? Because I sure know cluie's mom doesn't make me pay...

[nago]

  Code:

+7 faerie dragon armour {rF+ MR+}

The first non-shit fda I've ever looted (and probably i've killed about a couple of dozen of enchantress by now). And it's for a VsBe who like to stab people! Extremely awesome

[celem]

  Code:

the cursed ring "Tybeublu" (right hand) {Str+3 Dex+4 Slay+5 Stlth+}

From an Orc4 shop for my stabber.
Yus, thankyou very much. (Curse I added for Ash's benefit)

[Bloax]

  Code:

l - the +12 broad axe of Power (weapon) {chop, rF++ rC+ Int+1}

The actual weapon of Power.

[Lasty]

_H - the +9 broad axe of the Dwarven Hall {speed, +Rage rF++ rC+ Int+4}
Found on depths:5 on a char w/ no axe training.

[celem]

the cursed +10 morningstar of the Volcano {vamp, +Rage rElec rF+ Str+3 Stlth++}

As a follower of Ash I nearly went for it when it dropped off an Anubis guard on Tomb 1. Only the fact that I already retired my pain brands stopped me. (cant see vamp being stellar in extended)

[agenthree]

  Code:

 f - the +1 faerie dragon armour (worn) {MR++ Int+2 Dex+3 Slay+6 Stlth+}
   (You took it off the Enchantress on level 2 of the Depths)   
   
   It affects your intelligence (+2).
   It affects your dexterity (+3).
   It affects your accuracy and damage with ranged weapons and melee attacks
   (+6).
   It affects your resistance to hostile enchantments.
   It makes you more stealthy.

Basically all good, just on the low enchant side - but Slay+6 and boosts to Stealth, Int and Dex on my spriggan stabber/spellcaster? I'll take it.

[mopl]

  Code:

the +15 plate armour "Ziulapt" {Str+3 Dex+5}

  Code:

the +1 pair of gloves "Naihiull" {Slay+5 Stlth++}

[xentronium]

  Code:

U - the +2 pair of boots "Ledoorch" (worn) {MR+ rCorr Slay+5 SInv}.

Cost $950 in a gozag shop. Time to do slime I guess.

[mopl]

  Code:

the -13 pearl dragon armour of Okawaru's Hatred {rN+ MR+ Slay+3 Stlth++}

NOOOOOOO !!!!!

[Thalfon]

R - ring of Saimeir {Str+2 Slay+6 Regen}

Slaying and regen? Yes please.

[ManMan]

I present to you the gloves that make the Gauntlets of War look like crap:

  Code:

the +0 gloves of Light {+Blink rF+ MR++ Slay+6 SInv}

In fact, this character is so decked out with gear that I don't know what to acquire anymore.

[Count of Hearts]

So... I used the first Scroll of Disappointment on my MiBe today... I only had a +1 plate on so I decided I'd take a gamble and be disappointed with crap armour...

  Code:

M - +8 orange crystal plate armour {Archmagi, Int+3 Clar SustAb}

The scroll did not disappoint.

[Blomdor]

Recently, in a game that has since met an unfortunate end, I obtained the +4 Chain Mail of the Doge {Str+3 Int+2 Dex+1}.

Wow.

Such stats. So chain.

Very countdown.

Many plus.

[Thalfon]

  Code:

+8 scale mail of the Gusle {+Rage +Inv rElec} (You found it on level 1 of the Lair of Beasts)

I would later switch to some plate, but this was a very nice find at the time.

[xentronium]

  Code:

You finish putting on the +16 plate armour "Nukhyghi" {rF+ Curse}.

Oh noes, it's cursed!

[Rumbleguts]

randart +0 pearl dragon armour (rElec, rN, Slay+6, Stealth+)

A really great find for a Troll just lying there on Lair:2. Carried me to the end of a 3-runer

randart +5 boots (+Fly, +Rage, Slay+5)

Convenient evokables in an attractive package

[Phillip]

just gonna repost this here cause i came across it today



this is starting armour for an unlockable class in DC:PT

Whats DC:PT???

[Hirsch I]

Dungeon Crawl: Pizza Tornado, the best branch of Dungeon Crawl, free from evil devs, and with all the awesome ideas by Twelwe.

[mopl]

  Code:

Identified the +10 longbow of the Tent {speed, +Fly Str-7}

I didn't know that Str-7 was possible...

[Sar]

Now it is, 10 is maximum, -10 is minimum.

[Lasty]

Now it is, 10 is maximum, -10 is minimum.

Actually, that got scaled back to +-7 as the max/min. MarvinPA was talking about scaling it back further to +-6, but it doesn't look like that's happened yet.

[Sar]

RIP

[Thalfon]

  Code:

  8830 | D:7      | Reached skill level 6 in Staves
  9295 | D:7      | Bought an iridescent quarterstaff for 225 gold pieces
  9295 | D:7      | Identified the +9 quarterstaff of Doubt {crush, +Fly rElec rPois rF+ Int+3} (You bought it in a shop on level 7 of the Dungeon)

[mrpyro]

  Code:

53481 | Crypt:3  | Got a pitted jade ring
53483 | Crypt:3  | Identified the ring of the Raven {rElec rPois rF+ rC++ MR+ Str-2 Slay+6} (You took it off a deep elf death mage on level 3 of the Crypt)

[Siegurt]

  Code:

53481 | Crypt:3  | Got a pitted jade ring
53483 | Crypt:3  | Identified the ring of the Raven {rElec rPois rF+ rC++ MR+ Str-2 Slay+6} (You took it off a deep elf death mage on level 3 of the Crypt)

Str-2 ???? that's gotta be junk, just pitch it.

[mopl]

  Code:

+1 shield "Hualozo" {+Blink rElec rCorr MP+9 Str+3 Dex-3 Stlth-}

[rockygargoyle]

  Code:

the ring of the King {rElec MP+5 EV+4 Int+5 Dex+4 SInv}

[mopl]

  Code:

the amulet of Suicidal Tendencies (around neck) {Gourm rF++ rC+ MR++ SInv Stlth+}

Excellent name, but inappropriate !

[starless]

  Code:

the +8 triple crossbow of Dithmenos' Reproof {speed, rPois+ Dex+4 Stlth+}

[dornbeast]

  Code:

the cursed +2 mace of Strategic Superiority {flame, Noisy Dex+2 Int-3 Stlth+}.

Make up your mind, will you? Am I sneaking, or not?

[celem]

  Code:

the amulet of Gihemiuq {Ward rPois+ rC+ rN+ Str+3 Int-5}

Dropped from Minotaur in Lab, Oh, thats awesome! No...no wait, Int malus will break my SpEn, thats terrible.

Then I found the other half of the set on the stair behind him..

  Code:

the ring "Niadiny" {rF+ rC- HP+9 Str+5 Int+5 SInv}

Also slightly crappy (though less so) in its own way, but paired up these matched well and also gives as much Str as I have naturally again.

Combined, its an awesome artifact, even as is I love that ring..

[Thalfon]

  Code:

 53740 | Spider:4 | Identified the ring "Groul" {rPois- rF- rC- rN+ MR+ Str+4 Dex+6} (You acquired it on level 4 of the Spider Nest)

Scroll of disappointment indeed. I didn't even realize rPois- on equipment was a thing.

[wheals]

We added specifically so that you could be disappointed by that particular scroll.

(this may be the only occasion that a post by a non-twelwe person calls for )

[Thalfon]

Hah, well if that's the case it was a brilliant choice. I know better than to acquire jewellery normally, but I had two of the major wands, a nice lajatang, fully enchanted ego aux armour, and I was trying to do Spider without rPois and figured, what the heck, maybe I'd net an rPois ring and make the fights and chunk minigame less irritating (or at least get Slaying or AC or something nice). Nope!

Ended up finding a staff of poison I could use to eat though lol.

[nago]

From my current DDNe

the +8 executioner's axe "Eziorroc" {antimagic, rElec}

the +10 plate armour of Valour (worn) {Dex+3 Slay+3}.

Too bad he chose staves as weapon, that exec axe is so good

[Sandman25]

  Code:

the +7 chain mail "Chegeupn" (worn) {MP+9}
   (You found it on level 4 of the Dungeon)   

Damn, I wanted to play my MiWz as hybrid. Now I will have to join Chei instead of Ash or Vehumet

Edit. Hooray, I can be hybrid again:

  Code:

the +7 faerie dragon armour (worn) {rF++ rN+ Slay+4}


Especially great since I had to use ring of fire when needed rF+. Enchantress and all her band died to 5 invocations of Slouch, feels almost like cheating.

Edit2.

  Code:

-2 pair of boots of the Engineer {rF+ MR+ Slay+4 Stlth+}
(You acquired it on level 5 of the Vaults)   

It was better than my +2 boots of stealth since the artefact allowed to replace ring of protection from magic with +5 ring of evasion.

[Bloax]

smelly gloves

  Code:

_You finish putting on the +2 pair of gloves "Butt" {Contam Int+4 Slay+6 Stlth+}.

are very smelly

[Skrybe]

And they're contaminated too.

[MrRokkomies]

the +4 hat of Zeishoe (worn) {rElec SInv}
(You acquired it on level 5 of the Dungeon)

I was playing an OpTm.

[mopl]

  Code:

+8 plate armour of Cheibriados' Hope {rN+ Slay+5 SInv}.

I love this name !

[Sandman25]

  Code:

the amulet of Zaul (around neck) {rMut rC+ rN+ MR+ HP+9 Int-4}
   (You acquired it on level 2 of the Depths)   


Int penalty means nothing, I am Fo in Maxwell's armour. The acquirement scroll was bought for 2080 gold.

[Gakhan]

on my only/last win a MiFi, carried me through all 15 runes - +11 gold dragon armour of Filth {rPois rF+ rC+ Str+4 Int+3} and +2 hat of the Alchemist {rElec rF+ rC+ MR+} and +2 pair of fencer's gloves {EV+3 Dex+6 Slay+2} and ring of Ydghorir {+Blink rF+ rC+ rN+ Str+4}

[celem]

  Code:

You finish putting on the +2 pair of boots "Hiaju" {Str+11}.
_Enter note: woah...

Didnt someone just say the cap is 10? and that it was going to shrink? This was in trunk webtiles today.

On the floor D:6, not a vault, dropped for DEWz who can probably stop leveling Str, not sure those will ever come off.

[duvessa]

Randart generation has changed quite a bit. Properties "stack" now. For example, I believe randarts will no longer roll an "rF++" property; if you see an item with rF++ it's because it rolled rF+ for two of its properties. It's the same with stats, if the "same" randart had generated in an older version you would have gotten several other properties instead. So it shouldn't really be a buff to randarts.

This isn't quite right; when it chooses certain type of properties (stats, non-boolean resists), it has a chance of going on to apply that property again, potentially repeatedly (so rF+++ can generate now). This costs multiple properties, as you described.

The rest is right.

[xentronium]

  Code:

You drop the ring of Fedhas' Anger {-Tele rElec rF+ rC+ rN+ MR+ MP+9 Str+3 Dex-2}.

[Sandman25]

The worst artefact which I ever used in Lair1-8 and Orc1-4.

  Code:

-3 ring mail of Phuaxuci {rF+ MP+9 Str+2 SInv}


For FE with -3 spellcasting aptitude it was really great, I casted Inner Flame and didn't care if the monster died adjacent to me.
