Generated gear enchantment level range?

[artinuis]

Sorry if this question is answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it explained or asked.
What are the maximum enchantment levels (+X,+X) on normal (non-magical) weapons that are spawned on the dungeon floor? In all my games, I don't think I've ever seen anything with (+3) on either slot, at least not in the early game.
My question comes about from wondering whether a new character should even bother to equip/check normal-quality daggers when it starts with a (+2,+2) dagger.

  Code:

<Sequell> 12 club[1/3]: redrum the Skirmisher (L3 DrCK), worshipper of Makhleb, slain by Ijyb (a +6,+12 club) on D:2 on 2010-08-19, with 120 points after 1033 turns and 0:04:06.

I'm not sure about clubs (since they probably have different rules) but for regular weapons a +12 weapon would be guaranteed to be glowing (or runed etc.)

I'm not sure what the max enchantment is on a not-glowing item but I would not bother checking non-glowing daggers if you have a +2 dagger (but even a +2 dagger is only barely better than a short sword).

[duvessa]

clubs are never glowing/runed I think, which is why ijyb and erolcha can get +12 ones that aren't glowing/runed (also, the ijyb one happened in an old version where high enchantment didn't guarantee glowing/runed (nowadays +4 or higher guarantees glowing/runed (except on clubs)))

I found +10, +6 cutlass on Eustachio once

I believe I once found a +4 ring mail, which was not glowing. I could be mistaken. I know for sure +3 can happen without glowing.

I'm not sure I've ever seen better than +2+2 generated as a non-glowing weapon. From what duvessa said it seems you could find a +3+3 non-glowing weapon, but I would guess it's pretty unlikely, and you're more likely to just find a lot of cursed -1-1 daggers instead... I wouldn't bother equip checking other non-glow weapons if I already had +2+2.

This seems like a design flaw to me, since it encourages players to equip all floor loot as long as they have spare ?rc. Maybe there should be a "fine" category below glowing/runed that includes unbranded weapons with enchant bonuses.

So you don't think it is good design to give people options?

[duvessa]

IMO equipment other than jewellery should just be pre-identified on the floor. It would also be great to not have to avoid every enemy with a glowing weapon.

Ashenzari reasons.
