L6 SpEn finds +5 Armor of Dragon King (MR) - Advice?

[XuaXua]

I can wear this 110aum armor with a rating of 11 and an EV of -9, but holy crap.

I mean, I guess if I was a SpBe like I normally play, I'd be happy, but I'm suspecting I need to stash this somewhere and sacrifice it to Nemelex for piety when I start worshiping him / can find his damn altar, right?

Man, I've never seen this thing before.

You do the same thing my most recent spriggan did after finding the sword Sword of the Doom Knight last night, and that every member of our proud race does when he or she comes across some perfect, but unwearable, artefact.

You take a moment to cry at it's unattainable beauty. And then you move on.

If you're feeling petty, sure, you can feed it to Neme. She'll appreciate it. Personally, I like to collect unrandarts for my ascension though.

[XuaXua]

Found an artefact ring of rpois +1 Str on the same level, so at least it was easier hauling it to the temple, which was coincidentally right on the next floor next to the stairs (I dropped a lot of stuff to carry that thing around).

Temple wasn't corrupted and had Nemelex; the only bad thing is that it is filled with annoying electric eels and big fish who, even after full exploration, make me stumble around ascairt.

Sacrificing the armor for piety (and pettiness)...

8-D HOLY SHIT. 8-D

AHAHHAHAHAAHHAHA.

I went straight from 1-star to a 5-star worshiper.

You see here the +5 armorur of the Dragon King {MR}.
You offer a prayer to Nemelex Xobeh.
You can now peek at two random cards from a deck.
You can now choose one out of three cards.
You can now mark four cards in a dec.
You can now order the top five cards of a deck, losing the rest.
Nemelex Xobeh grants you a gift!
Something appears at your feet!
The +5 armour of the Dragon King {MR} glows with a rainbow of weird colours and disappears.
A symbol of Escape coalesces before you, then vanishes.
Nemelex Xobeh is exalted by your worship.
d - a plain deck of cards {god gift}

Possible BUG NOTE:
Looking at the log in full screen (am playing near-trunk 0.80.0-a0-5951), the first character of most log lines is an underscore character '_' when it should probably be blank.

[XuaXua]

Probably going to get decks of escape for the rest of the game. Welcome to the abyss, XuaXua.

[XuaXua]

Ugh.

I just found the +9 armour of the Dragon King with my first Spriggan... TRANSMUTER in forever.

D6. Worshipping DITH as opposed to Nemelex (last time).

21 AC, -16 EV.

5 Str (reduced; out of 7)

QUAFF...

21 AV, -10 EV with 7 Str.

... AND SKULLCRUSHER IN THE NEXT ROOM OVER. FUCK YOU RNG.

[Sar]

time to go Jiyva

[XuaXua]

time to go Jiyva

Let's see if the altar isn't only on Slime 6. I just found the E. temple the next room over from Skullcrusher.

Also, I thought slimes don't eat artefacts.

[Sar]

They don't; I meant that Jiyva can shit your stats to Strength, letting you wear that armour.
Wasn't exactly a serious suggestion, though.

[XuaXua]

It's OK, this one didn't make it either.

[tasonir]

Dragon king armor isn't that good, really. And it's certainly not worth wearing if you aren't anywhere near the strength requirement.

This is probably the wrong place for this, but how about raising the enchantment to either 12 or maybe 15? Then it'd actually be better than a plain GDA.

[duvessa]

its already better than a plain gda because it doesnt require 10 enchant armour scrolls that you dont have

[and into]

Basically the only time I've worn GDA is when I have found Armor of the Dragon King, actually. That or an early GDA in a shop with some +s already on it, which is about as rare as finding ADK.

[Sandman25]

I tried wearing plate armour with XL 1 DEWz and the character almost died to quokka because of misses. I suspect accuracy penalty from GDA can be relevant here too, at least before training some fighting/weapon/armour.

[TehDruid]

Spriggan of jiyva with GDA? I think I just found my next ridiculous assignment for an ascension.

Well, if you think about it, it's way easier than winning a Xom MuCK...
