The Tavern

This is one kick-ass hat. It's got everything.

u - the cursed +1 cap "Ryimoc" (worn) {rElec rF+ rC++ Dam+4}
(You found it on level 3 of the Lair of Beasts)
It affects your damage-dealing abilities (+4).
It protects you from fire.
It greatly protects you from cold.
It insulates you from electricity.
It has a curse placed upon it.

It's downright dapper too. Shows up as a little black bowler hat when I wear it. :lol:

I submit for your evaluation the ring "Arimyonk" {CTele, +Blink, +Inv, rElec, Stlth++} which I found on Lair 5. With a kenku air elementalist, no less. I didn't really expect to find something so early that would make me consider taking off my other randart ring with +4 slaying.

I have no excuse for not winning this game now, but I suppose we'll see if it plays out that way.

Now with even more vampirism:

the +11,+3 war axe "rafa's Foe" {vamp, vamp, rF+ rC+ Int+2}

Good grief.

Urm....what's your other other ring, that's better than a randart ring with +4 slaying??

Oh, just a non-special vanilla ring of poison resistance. Slaying wasn't as useful against the three thousand elephants infesting the bottom few levels of Lair as Poisonous Cloud, and I hadn't gotten any decent alternative attacks from Sif Muna yet. So I judged not killing myself with my own clouds as being higher priority than the slaying bonus.

How could that possible? :?:

I just found Zonguldrok and the Dragon King in the same vault at the bottom of Crypt 8-)

I tried using both of them at once straight away (with STR 20, Armour 8 and Long Blades 0) and it didn't go so well... I don't care so much about Zonguldrok, awesome though it is, but I must get the King working. Can anyone give me a quick heads-up on what I should be doing?

I made myself a Swamp Dragon armour to get started (swapping out my randart leathers)...

You need strength 27 to eliminate the strength penalty, which applies to accuracy as well as spell success. Armor skill will have a smaller effect, but you'll need so much that you'll probably finish the game before you max that out. Spellcasting of any sort will be basically impossible no matter what.

OK, never mind then... it *is* very shiny though.

At the opposite end of the awesomeness spectrum, I just turned up the following in Elf:5:

the +0 leather armour of Nihilism {rF+}.

Well I'm really glad I waded through all those Blademasters, Master Archers, Demonologists, Death Mages and their assorted little mates for that :lol:

My laster character found the Sword of Zonguldrok on d4. Awesome sword, was planning on using it (zombies be damned) but then found the +11,+11 morningstar "Eos" on d6.. Also, did you know you get both the xp for defeating them the first time and then the xp for destorying the resulting zombie?

My artifact of the day:

Code:: i - the ring of The Shining One's Envy (left hand) {rN+ MR Str+2 Dex+4} (You found it on level 7 of the Elven Halls)

It really satisfyingly ties my ensemble together - I'd been waiting for an extra pip of rN so that I could retain rN+++ whilst wielding this:

Code:: q - the +1,+1 long sword "Skiema" {elec, rElec EV+5 Dex+2 Int+2} (You found it on level 1 of the Swamp)

My other stuff:

Code:: d - the +5 helmet "Kiemm" (worn) {Int+2 Stlth++} (You acquired it on level 1 of the Shoals) J - the +3 robe of the Butterfly (worn) {rN+ MR EV+5 Int-1} (You bought it in a shop on level 4 of the Shoals) G - the +1 pair of gloves of Esimn (worn) {EV+6 Dex+4 Int+1} (You found it on level 7 of the Elven Halls)

Buffed, I'm up to EV 56, and that extra dexterity and MR has pushed me up to extraordinarily stealthy/uncannily resistant.

I got this in my last game:

Code:: 16759 | D:12 | Identified the cursed bow "Owneg" {frost, +Inv rElec rPois Str+4 SInv} (You found it on level 12 of the Dungeon)

as well as this which is similar:

Code:: 70857 | Crypt:3 | Identified the cursed mace of Evisceration {freeze, rElec rPois rF+ AC-2 Int+2} (You found it on level 3 of the Crypt)

eventually I used the mace for the rF+

I was playing a spellcaster so I was only interested in the resistances

Good Lord. Lookit the stats on this thing. And it's branded with speed.

L - the +8,+11 sling of Beogh's Delight (weapon) {speed, +Blink rN+}
(You found it on level 7 of Tartarus)

The +27 -1 knife of accuracy. Base damage: 4. Just what the hell is the use of this thing?

ghend wrote:The +27 -1 knife of accuracy. Base damage: 4. Just what the hell is the use of this thing?

Slicing those bread and meat rations just right to make the perfect sandwich.

ghend wrote:The +27 -1 knife of accuracy. Base damage: 4. Just what the hell is the use of this thing? :P

It's the only weapon suitable for turning blowfish corpses into fugu rations instead of a combination potion of paralysis, strong poison, and decay.

My current super invincible and never will die Draconian Transmuter has a Recvim a +6 cloak with Rf+, Rpoison, Relect, RC+ and Rage. I worship Che so I have to be careful about rage.

:oops:

If it's evokable rage, you're fine. Just don't evoke it. If it's berserkitis, use clarity or stasis to negate the problem.

WOOT !

I just found the unrandart ring of the Mage ( Wiz, MR, Int +3), and not with a berserker, so life is good.

10 turns later, I spot a sleeping Rupert... X E !

After gifting my HaBe ridiculous quantities of bullets and a nice randart sling (the "Sling of Sloth (of velocity)" :lol:

), Trog finally notices that I also have a lot of skill in Short Blades:

Code:: R - the -1,-4 dagger "Uwutus" {god gift, venom, Dex+2} (Trog gifted it to you on level 7 of the Lair of Beasts)

I think this latest from a scroll of acquirement is a new low:

The -7 pair of gloves 'Tiugir' {rC+ curse}

Oh, good.

the +12, +6 sabre of Purpose {pain, +Rage}

Pain and rage will give you purpose all right.

Yesterday Okawaru gave me a -2 cap, today i found +5 armor of the dragon king in D:6. And my current character is DECj. Makes my evasion go -18 :cry:

First post yea

Code:: u - the Elemental Staff {protect, Hunger Noisy rF++ rC++ MR} Accuracy rating: +6 Damage rating: 7 Base attack delay: 120% It protects the one who wields it against injury (+5 to AC). It greatly protects you from fire. It greatly protects you from cold. It increases your resistance to enchantments. It makes noises. It speeds your metabolism. This weapon falls into the 'Staves' category. It is a two handed weapon. This powerful staff used to belong to the leader of the Guild of Five Elements. It weighs around 18.0 aum. This ancient artefact cannot be changed by magic or mundane means.

Too bad I'm playing a SpEn

wow... two unrands in a row... both from a trove

Code:: E - the Spriggan's Knife (weapon) {MR EV+4 Dex+4 Stlth++} A dainty little knife. Accuracy rating: +5 Damage rating: 3 Base attack delay: 100% It affects your evasion (+4). It affects your dexterity (+4). It increases your resistance to enchantments. It makes you much more stealthy. This weapon falls into the 'Short Blades' category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is best used by the dexterous. This knife was made by Spriggans, or for Spriggans, or possibly from Spriggans. Anyway, it's in some way associated with those fey folk. It weighs around 1.0 aum. This ancient artefact cannot be changed by magic or mundane means.

Sometimes I love how mean this game is.

Code:: y - the -5 robe of the Ecumenical Temple {rElec MR Int+1 Dam+4 SInv} (You found it on level 4 of the Dungeon) It affects your intelligence (+1). It affects your damage-dealing abilities (+4). It insulates you from electricity. It increases your resistance to enchantments. It enhances your eyesight.

Oh, good.

Seriously, I am seeing some very high double-negative randarts lately. Got -5 boots with Stlth++ and a few other goodies that I deleted a few days back. Tons of double-negative armor. I feel like something has gone wrong with trunk.

Wow, I'm glad this thread existed to make me check over my inventory! I knew that I had some nice jewelery this game, but I only just realized that this looks like a fun combination:
M - the amulet "Kuz Phoph" (around neck) {Spirit Acc+2 Dam+2 Stlth--}
f - the ring "Yteit" {rElec rF+ Str+2 MP+9}
On the other hand: T - a +4,+5 ring of slaying (left hand)

This gives me 43 extra HP on a HO-Pr, going the heavy armor route, with no magic. :-)

I had been wearing G - the ring "Mustruig" (right hand) {+Blink rElec Int+4 Dam+3 Stlth--} figuring the damage bonus went quite nicely with the slaying.
Does anyone know how Str+2 compares to Dam+3 for an axe-wielder?

I don't think I'll use this unless I'm running away:
The ring of the Orange Skies {rF+ rC++ MR Dam-3}

I'm a short-blade berzerker. I don't think buying that $1200 manual of long blades would make the ring worthwhile.

Same game:
The cursed +0 dragon armour of a Thousand Hells {+Lev rPois Dam-6}
I'd love rF, rPois, and Levitate, but it doesn't make up for Dam-6. And I spent $2k on it in an antique shop, leaving me with $100.
Thet leaves me short to buy the prize I find on the next level I enter:
The +3 chain mail of Tapp {rElec rPois Dam+3 SInv}

First artifact I ever found was I believe the Mace Of Ambiquity?

Anyways, it screeched, gurgled, screamed, and told me stories of its previous owners demise while screaming that it would stop talking if I didnt leave it

I thought it was pretty nice

I'm running a Kobold Berserker of Trog. He gave me a little gift:

+11 Morningstar 'EOS' (God gift, -TELE, rElec, Elec)

On a Berserker with 15 in Maces and Flails. Muha-ha-haaaa-ha-ha-ha.

Code:: the -3 cloak of Misanthropy (worn) {Str-3 Dex+1}

Exactly what I was looking for with that scroll of acquirement.

Edit: Another scroll of acquirement, with the same character. I understand not getting what you want from a scroll of acquirement, but you'd think I could at least get something I'd ever want to use. (OK, I'm complaining unfairly; on D:7 I acquired a randart rElec rF+ Dex+4 swamp dragon armour I've been using all game.)

Code:: the +0 cloak of the Dungeon {Dex-2 Dam-1}

I'm in ave from that name and corresponding stats

the ring of Fun (right hand) {rElec rPois rC+ MR Acc+4 Dam+2}

Ring "Cha Proi": rElec, rF+, Acc+3, Dmg+5, SInv.
Found it on lvl 22(?) of a Ziggurat

the cursed -1 robe of Folly {-CAST, Int-5, Curse}

Found this early on; too bad I didn't want to use it so I could switch to a bow and died having never used it.

the +2,+8 executioner's axe of the Pit {vamp, +Inv}

+10, +6 mithril axe "Arga"
Speed Brand
+2 Strength
+30 Magic resistance
A beautiful mithril axe, probably lost by some dwarven hero.

Hundreds of MDFi and I've never seen this till now.

I am happy.

I will kill.

Knitting with a mithril axe can be dangerous for your health.

Points taken. I found it on about D 4, so I was pretty chuffed. Slew many a foe before putting too much faith in my amulet of warding and getting demonised on Orc 4. Why do both orc sorcerers AND orc high priests have summoning?

galehar wrote:Knitting with a mithril axe can be dangerous for your health.

Isn't that how dwarves make chainmail?

OK, so I found the fixedart Blowgun of the Assassin. Which was nice, caused me to train Throwing, and took down some stuff. Until shortly after that, my Necromancer found this:

The +5 blowgun "Riosaih" {speed, +Inv rElec rN+ Stlth+}

Whee!

*ptuiptuiptui*

On my current OgTr:
the +2 cloak "Osoklutin" (worn) {+Blink rElec Str+1 Dex-1 Int+1 Acc+3 Dam+3 SInv}

the +1 pair of gloves of Jyberash (worn) {rF++ Dex-4}
(You found it on level 2 of the Lair of Beasts)
It affects your dexterity (-4).
It greatly protects you from fire.

- -

Say it aloud - sounds like both "gibberish" and my original interpretation, "diaper rash".

My Demonspawn Warper of Oka just found

Code:: a - the ring "Gradiapa" (left hand) {cTele +Rage +Inv rPois Acc+3 SInv}

on level 2 of the Lair. That's as close to an instawin artefact as I've ever seen. I can only assume this means that I'm going to die horribly to a miscast.

my kobold Abysal knight just found a +9+7 saber of slicing with 2 levels of fire resistance and another resistance.

Of course it came with the hidden brand of Overconfidence and he died trying to take on the bailey at level 8
