Oh, I had also found Storm Bow and the Sword of Jihad in my game. At first I thought "no", but then I found Amulet of Four Winds...

Same game.
- Code:
the +7 great sword "Sarcophage" (weapon) {god gift, distort, rElec rPois Str+5 Int-2}
(Trog gifted it to you on level 3 of the Elven Halls)
Probably the best distortion artefact I've seen (I am fragile TeBe without rElec and it increased my EV by 3) and still I have mixed feelings about it since I had +7 antimagic triple sword at min delay.

Aww yeah, no one is hexing this handsome son of a god tonight!

Yeah it's a great sword (pun intended) but personally I think I'd just unwield it, banished or not, and use the AM triple sword.
@Sar: Well of course! I'm sure you quivered it because you were just about to throw it in lava.

In a recent game, these badasses took me to victory pretty easily:
- Code:
a - the +11 hand crossbow of the Jester (weapon) {elec, rC+}
(You bought it in a shop on level 12 of the Dungeon)
b - the +12 hand crossbow of Purpose {venom, *Corrode rN++ MR+}
(You found it on level 2 of the Depths)
In my current game, Trog gave me this thing in Lair:
- Code:
a - the +13 triple sword "Puide" (weapon) {slice, Int+4 Dex+4}

Yes, after clearing Elf I got my first wand of tele so I bought a scroll of identify, identified it, unwieded the great sword and re-explored elf 3 again. As I found later one of those teleported elves was wearing macabre.. It proves that distortion is bad no matter how much damage it deals. And I wonder what I lost to those 3+ elves who got banished.

Hmmm, let's see,
a glittering golden ring looks pretty:
- Code:
M - the ring of Hunaes (right hand) {rF+ rC+ MP+9 Int+5}
I guess it will impress the Hunaes...
This is on a caster, but at the end of the vaults, with glaciate already online.
Although there was an interesting find much earlier:
- Code:
L - the +6 dagger of Pakellas's Pride {holy, +Inv rPois MP+9 Dex+3}
Makes any character into a decent stabber. I was mostly going polearms, but was still able to single-shot stab a sleeping Lich...

Not actually the worst artifact I've ever seen, but as a god gift from Oka for a MiFi, combined with the name... the -7 pair of gloves of Okawaru's Hope {Int+6}

I guess we can put "Not sure if *Slow makes it worth it in postend, but I guess I'll find out! It doesn't seem to trigger too often." in last famous words thread. Or should it be "I will, it's too cool to pass."?

the +9 hand axe "Vusyed" {pain, MR+ Dex+4}
(You found it on level 9 of the Dungeon)
In the hands of one skilled in necromantic magic, it inflicts extra damage
on living creatures.
It affects your dexterity (+4).
It affects your resistance to hostile enchantments.
Simple and super effective for a dwarf!
Useful all the way into Zot (at least against anything living)!
Great speed-damage even without Necromancy in the Dungeon.
And found it while doing the speed rush banner to D:15. Total godsend.
