  Code:

the cursed +2 pair of gloves "Klys" (worn) {rF+ MR++ Slay+3 SInv}

Which are extremely nice.
But because slaying isn't never enough, in the same game I've also got:

the cursed +2 leather armour of the Lost Blessings (worn) {Int+2 Slay+5
Curse}
the cursed +0 hat "Saases" (worn) {+Inv Dex+2 Slay+6}

[mopl]

  Code:

+10 plate armour of Dim Light {+Rage rElec rF+}

  Code:

the +7 shield of the Lute {Spirit, +Blink +Inv rElec Str+1 Slay+2}

[Sprucery]

  Code:

Wear which item? (? for menu, Esc to quit)
You start putting on your armour.
You continue putting on your polished chain mail. x8
You finish putting on the +10 chain mail of the Lute {rF+ rN+}.

This on D:3. The funny thing is, after winning a HaBe I started a new game (KoAK) in 0.14 and stupidly failed to notice that 0.15 for OS X was already out. AC 22 on D:3 makes me think I should streak this one. Now let's see if the desire to play 0.15 makes me splat this one anyway...

since when is save compatibility breaking from single version differences

[Sprucery]

There are some pretty huge differences between the versions (weight, item destruction, some items, monsters and deities) so I automatically assumed that there's no hope for save compatibility... Of course it would be awesome if this was not the case.

*tests*
It is awesome, then. (Seriously, those changes are not major. Removals of item or monster types may be a little more major, but I think they are just automatically removed from inventory/level if the type is invalid.)

+9 whip of Reason {vamp, rF+} on my VSGl^Makhleb

They are not removed. Their description is gone and replaced with an error message. I updated to 0.15 and was still wearing an amulet of conservation and had darts in inventory. I even killed a rat with the darts. The amulet still had its tile but the darts had a question mark as the tile (possibly branded darts, I dropped them all).

Well, at least my KoAK felt the weight of the chain mail lifted from his shoulders :) Now I just hope nothing crashes the game, at least I got rid of the nonexistent items.

It seems lately I'm getting lots of sweet goods

  Code:

+5 ring mail "Arroch" {rElec rF+ rC++ MR++}.


[and into]

Not particularly good for my character, but noteworthy:

cursed +0 chain mail of Untruth {+Blink +Rage +Inv +Fly rElec rF+ MR+ Int-2 SInv}

I think I'm gonna wear it for a while just because I've never had that many evocable abilities on one item.

[TeshiAlair]

_o - the ring "Jupniome" {+Rage +Fly rC++ rN+ Str+3 Stlth+}

Six Blessings ? I can see only 5 of them...

Sure?

1. AC+5
2. rPois

4. MR+
5. MR+
6. sInv

[Tiktacy]

  Code:

N - the cursed +3 whip of tedric's Destruction {elec, rC++ Dex+2 Int+2}

Is this a name that just uses your characters "[Name]'s Destruction" as the item title or is this just a huge coincidence?

The former. Randart name generation has a chance to include char_name in certain stock phrases.

+23 crystal plate armour of the Dwarven Hall {rPois}

[nago]

!!!
And that char was very diesel too!

I found the character by looking at the best AC+EV section of 0.15 tournament (it was first yesterday). Surpassed by Gr in +14 CPA today.

[Zooty]

The +4 leather armour of Submission {rF+ rC++ rN+ MR++ Slay+4 Curse}.

I'd say that's a bargain for 168 gold.

[Hirsch I]

The +4 leather armour of Submission {rF+ rC++ rN+ MR++ Slay+4 Curse}.

I'd say that's a bargain for 168 gold.

I would sell my soul for that.

Cheap soul.

[Sporkman]

The +12 Greatsword of Disintegration {distort, rElec Dex+1}

Found in the Elven Halls. Damn. The only problem is that distort is scary as hell to unwield... and I'm using shields on this run. Still, +12 is certainly tempting!

[mopl]

  Code:

 27641 | Snake:4  | Bought the +14 plate armour of the Special Orbs {rF+ Int+1 Slay+3 SInv} for 1762 gold pieces

[Lasty]

K - ring of the King {rC++ AC+4 Slay+5, =R}

On my VSAr that is just a little late for Nemelex's Choice. Better do extended, I guess.

[Sandman25]

Found before Temple with a melee character.
-5 helmet with Slaying+5, MR++, rPois, and sInv.
I really needed AC and thus kept wearing +1 helmet

[TeshiAlair]

melee character

How desperately did you need AC? The +5 slaying would wreck any early enemy, and MR++, rPois, sInv counter the two hardest threats early game, namely unlucky poison and orc wizards.

[Lasty]

. . . and MR++ counters hexes from Sigmund/Grinder/orc wizards.

[and into]

+6 AC also helps a lot against orc wizards, sigmund, grinder... Even with MR++ and +5 Slay I don't think I'd take a -6 (-7 with one more enchant armor scroll) hit to AC. Maybe like a late game gargoyle decked out in crystal plate with absurd AC or whatever could enjoy that trade off, but in the early game especially I think you would be shooting yourself in the foot.

[Sandman25]

The character is dead. It was the luckiest VSWn so far, it visited Abyss and even taught me how TSO's wraith looks like (all before reaching Lair).

Edit. wrath, lol.

[Sandman25]

  Code:

the +9 executioner's axe of the Head {speed, Str+1}
   (You found it on level 12 of the Dungeon)   

Probably I will switch very late game despite having 20 levels in Long Blades. Cleaving is great in Pan/Hell.

[Sandman25]

  Code:

the +14 crystal plate armour of Dead (worn) {rElec rN+ SInv}

Found on Cerebov's level. I did use it vs Cerebov (AC 53, EV 11) and probably will use it for Gehenna but otherwise I prefer to use +5 IDA (AC 36, EV 25) which allows me to have Haste, Deflect Missiles, Phased Phift, Stone Skin.

  Code:

You drop the -17 crystal plate armour "Pnyaluah" {rC+}

You drop the -17 crystal plate armour "Pnyaluah" {rC+}

Why drop it? Didn't you really need an rC+ swap item? ;)

[TeshiAlair]

Had ring of Ice plus the innate DD ice envelope...as an IE

Died from being a moron and forgetting to swap my -Tele but rCorr amulet back in after killing TRJ.

[Sandman25]

Reason to do Crypt

  Code:

the ring of Fun (left hand) {+Inv rPois rF++ rN+ Dex+2, =R}
   (You found it on level 3 of the Crypt)

[mopl]

  Code:

  l - amulet "Ebref" {rMut rF+ rC+ SInv}
  j - ring of Guupnitz {rC+ MR++ Dex+1 Regen}

[Sprucery]

  Code:

 e - the +10 greatsling "Profat" {velocity, rPois}
   (You found it on level 3 of the Elven Halls)   


[scorpionwarrior]

O - Jism's Guide on Transformation
(You found it on level 3 of the Crypt)

[Sar]

  Code:

w - ring "Ydos" {rElec rF+ rC+ rN+ Dex+1 SInv}

[xentronium]

  Code:

 H - the cursed +13 ice dragon armour of Ghio (worn) {rElec rF- rC++}
   (You found it in a bailey)   

Found it in a D9 bailey with a DsCK, felt invulnerable briefly thereafter, then died in the abyss to a hellephant at XL 11.

[asdu]

  Code:

a - +5 pair of gloves of the Lost Places {Slay+4}

A Gauntlets of War prototype.
Strangely enough, prior to finding these, I was wearing another pair of randart gloves with +4 slaying (and MR++), but they had -1 enchantment. I was idly wondering what gloves I would have switched those out for, and whther I would have actually found a pair of gloves that made me consider switching, pretty sure that, in the end, I would have stuck with them all the way through. Not long after that, I found these in a shop.

  Code:

+23 crystal plate armour of the Dwarven Hall {rPois}


from here

I had no idea such a thing was even possible.

[asdu]

Same game as last post:

  Code:

q - +10 lajatang of a labyrinth {antimagic, +Blink rF+ MR++ Dex+3}

I'm a vine stalker T_T

[xentronium]

v - the ring of Faev (right hand) {+Rage rF++ rC+ MR+}

This ring is my faev.

Cell phone jammer is an interesting and helpful device when we don’t want to be bothered by the cell phone noise. I just bought myself a 4G Signal Jammer the other day, it is working great and BTW, it’s legal here in my country.

c - a jammer.

Evoke it for silence. Interesting and helpful device when we don't want to be bothered by liches.
