Best/Worst Artifacts

[WingedEspeon]

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}.

[Sandman25]

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)


[The Ferret]

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

  Code:

N - the +3 mace "Hulk" {crush, +Rage Str+4}.

[Eyesburn]

+10 blowgun of Absolution (weapon) {evade, rF+ rC+ MR+ MP+9 Int-3}

[WingedEspeon]

+2 cloak "Jaentucs" {rCorr Int-5 Slay+5}
Found on a quickblade using DsBe

[treerex5]

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.

[WingedEspeon]

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.

[ajon]

the +1 leather arrmour of Boycoh (rC+ rCorr Str+3 Int-5) on d4... not bad except I am playing HeFE...

[celem]

  Code:

the ring "Foreug" {+Blink rN+ Str+6 Slay+3}
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.

[ajon]

+1 leather armour of bad decisions (MP-9 Int+4) is aptly named on a Fire Elementalist.

[ajon]

Seems like an active night. +10 quarterstaff of Light (crush +Inv Str+2 Dex+3) I was going to go longer blades but as I am on d5 only... I think I should switch. HE apt isn't bad either.

[celem]

Another run, another awesome ring.

  Code:

the ring "Kurch" (right claw) {rN+ Str-4 Dex+12 Slay+3 Stlth-}.

On a monstrous UC DsGl w Nightstalker.

[nago]

Wtf isn't +- 9 the max stat bonus possible?

[Hirsch I]

not anymore. it was changed back in 0.15, IIRC.

[celem]

  Code:

the cursed -7 pair of gloves of Visagh {rN+}

Dont think i've ever needed rN that badly.

[Lasty]

not anymore. it was changed back in 0.15, IIRC.

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

[raikaria]

  Code:

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.

[Pteriforever]

Lots of super nice stuff, all while promoting equal opportunity too

Found this as a level 8 DrSu.

[celem]

  Code:

The +16 gold dragon armour of Music {rPois rF+ rC+ Regen+ rCorr Str+2 Dex+3}

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...

[duvessa]

thats not awesome

[celem]

You are a mean, mean person Duvessa. But its OK, I've been here long enough that I knew this.

[xentronium]

  Code:

You finish putting on the -7 cloak of Fyuhe {rN+ Dex+3}.

[WalrusKing]

d - a distressingly furry plate armour

mere tiles from

g - a steaming leather armour

is it just me or is it getting hot in here?

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

d - +10 plate armour of Hopscotch {rC++ Str+2}

Man, this GrEE is going to take those vault guards to all sorts of strange and confusing places.

[ajon]

Scroll of Acquirement... sometimes I think you hate me. On my DEWz, +15 Maxwell's patent armour.

[Pteriforever]

Why does there need to be rC-? WHYYYYY??!!??!

[Sar]

~interesting decisions~

[Hirsch I]

Why does there need to be rC-? WHYYYYY??!!??!

because it preaches Defense by Offense.

[WingedEspeon]

the -7 crystal plate armour "Edabrup" {rF- rN++ Regen+ Int-2}
-7 and rF-. Nuff said. Although for some reason I don't think it was cursed.

[xentronium]

  Code:

A - the ring "Cucojapumy" (right hand) {+Fly Str-2 Int+12 Dex+3 Slay+2}.

+12 int is unusual.

[celem]

  Code:

Bought the amulet "Heon" {rCorr rC+ Int+10 Dex+3 Stlth-} for 838 gold pieces

[WingedEspeon]

the ring of Trog's Benevolence {-Cast +Fly rC+ MR++}
Found on a MfBe
The name is so fitting

[nago]

  Code:

+4 mottled dragon armour of the Bells {Contam MP+9 Str+3 Slay+6}

I guess my NaIE has to retire Ozo's armour

[Sandman25]

  Code:

+5 cloak of the Bells {MR++ Dex+2}

Very nice for species with low MR who cannot wear boots/gloves.

[xentronium]

  Code:

e - the ring of Rienkuy (right claw) {+/*Tele Slay+5}

God damn it.

[celem]

  Code:

y - +3 troll leather armour of Poreajyu {rF+ rC+ Regen+ Str+4 Dex+3}

Nice set of resists on a TLA artifact, actually turned down Moon Troll Leather when it dropped to keep the above.

[Rast]

  Code:

A - the ring "Cucojapumy" (right hand) {+Fly Str-2 Int+12 Dex+3 Slay+2}.

+12 int is unusual.

Yes, but -2 Str. How will you deal with that?

[xentronium]

  Code:

c -  124 gold   the cursed +0 robe "Damn" {Dex+2}


Damn.

[tasonir]

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

[Elystan]

Putting this one here because I couldn't decide whether it was awesome or terrible (found very early in my game):

the -3 leather armour "Khai" (worn) {rF+ rC+ rN+ Str+3 Slay+5 SInv}

[Rast]

I'd wear it with a slinger.

[cerealjynx]

As a TrCK, from scroll of acquirement: _You finish putting on the -5 cloak of Good Intentions {rElec rPois Slay-4 SInv}.

[xentronium]

As a TrCK, from scroll of acquirement: _You finish putting on the -5 cloak of Good Intentions {rElec rPois Slay-4 SInv}.

I'd hate to see the cloak of Bad Intentions.

[Elystan]

Artifact generation hates me lately, just got a cloak similar to that.

-6 cloak of Lesmyb {rF+ Slay-2 SInv Curse}

Wear ID'd cursed without any remove curse in inventory, I now have negative AC

[Sandman25]

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.

[Elystan]

Finally something nice!

the +4 robe of Night {+Inv MR+ SInv Stlth+}

I mean as robes go that's excellent. And also well named!

[Sar]

It's a fixedart. It reduces los. Very very good.

[Sandman25]

  Code:

Identified the amulet of the Six Moons {Faith rPois rF+ MR+ Int+3} (You acquired it on level 2 of the Vaults)

I am Op
Also the amulet has wrong name, there should be Five Moons

[Sprucery]

Is there something bad in getting that amulet as Op?

[Sandman25]

Is there something bad in getting that amulet as Op?

Yes, my Op already has rF+, rPois and MR++++, has an empty ring slot and acquirement gave an amulet of Faith (I need my amulet slot for rCorr and rMut)

[Sar]

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