I'm shocked, shocked, that the dev who rewrote large chunks of the randart code is "finding" amazing randarts.

TrFi of Oka means I had UC 23 (base 12 + 5 from heroism + 6 from claws) and regular shield without attack penalty (SH is my highest defense of course). I was lazy to do fsim but I suspect my UC was comparable to "min-delayed" greatmace and with finesse I was overkilling anything anyway.

  Code:
 38656 | Depths:3 | Got distressingly furry shadow dragon scales
 38657 | Depths:3 | Identified the +14 shadow dragon scales of the Lonely Blessings {+Blink Stlth++++} (You found it on level 3 of the Depths)


Found this in a vault guarded by a Tzitzimitl, along with the unrand Ring of Shadows. That plus a boots with Stlth+ gives me two pips short of full Stealth, plus the Umbra. This is on a DDHu with an executioner's axe and a melee focused build. It's perfect timing because I had every intention of just a three rune run but now I'm very much tempted to go for fifteen. Being able to run away and not be chased is pretty nice. EDIT: Ended up not going for fifteen.

EDIT 2: Found this in my GnFE game.

  Code:
the +7 mace "Givai" {drain, *Rage +Rage +Inv +Fly}

F - the +10 dagger "Ustes" (weapon) {holy, rF+ rN+}

(You bought it in a shop on level 5 of the Dungeon) --- for 133 gold (maybe Gozag helped?)

It has been blessed by the Shining One to cause great damage to the undead

It protects you from fire.
It protects you from negative energy.

G - a +7 blowgun
(bought from the same shop on D:5 for 104 gold)


I - the ring "Ukukoall" (right hand) {rC+ rN+ Slay+5 Stlth-}

(You found it on level 6 of the Dungeon)

It affects your accuracy and damage with ranged weapons and melee attacks

It protects you from cold.
It protects you from negative energy.

Same game, found in this pretty cool vault of a fortress of giants separated from the rest of the dungeon by lava. Since I am GrEE it was no trouble to reach:

  Code:
amulet of Quarrel {Reflect +Inv SH+5}


It has saved my bacon loads of times since I found it. I dunno it feels like it's an unrand but I couldn't find it in any lists.

If the item description says

then it's a randart. If it is a custom text, then it's an unrand.

I hear ya Sandman.

  Code:
the +0 pair of boots of Okawaru's Displeasure {rPois} (Okawaru gifted it to you on level 3 of the Vaults)

I think Okawaru was upset that I haven't used a single one of his god gifts all game. (Because they've all sucked like woah.)

Same game, both from scrolls of acquirement that were surprisingly nice for once:

  Code:
the +8 eveningstar of Gluttony {elec, rN+ Int+4} (You acquired it on level 6 of the Lair of Beasts)
the amulet "Guzirr" {Gourm MP+9 Str+5} (You acquired it on level 3 of the Elven Halls)


Seriously like, so much better. Although that amulet isn't the BEST ever, but it's better than any others I'd found all game. Including the undrand Amulet of the Air. (I'd use it if it didn't have bloody inaccuracy...)

the ring of Zenuog {MR+++ EV+2}

Playing a DEFE, now at level 15, clearing out the mines. This is what I found in the shops:

  Code:
the cursed scarf "Laveten" {INT+5 SInv}
the +9 quarterstaff of misery {speed rN+ Str+4}


The scarf came for 355 bucks, the staff for slightly above 1000. And I have my staves skill already trained up to 9, as I was hoping for a good elemental staff, which I did not find so far. I'm certainly not going to do anything about the curse on the scarf.

The labyrinth, also found on Orc 2, gave me pearl dragon scales on top of everything else. I am dearly tempted to invest some points into armour to make my glass cannon a lot less brittle.

Edit: I should stop bragging here about my equipment. Whenever I do that, I die within a few hundred turns. This time I got splattered by my own ghost on entering the Swamp, with a well-placed Iron Shot.
