Re: Best/Worst Artifacts
Gozag's new "platinum reserve" shop. The first three are useless to anyone at the point they have the money to afford them. The last one is pretty good, but probably still not worth 5430 gold. I added it to my shopping list in the vain hope I one day have that much spare gold, but I'll probably buy other items from cheaper shops normally.

Nope. I got to D12 and it is the only aux armour I have. Not a single cloak/helmet/barding. Also no amulets and just 1 ring (+1 of protection). This is not good with Ashenzari.

The ones I have found (gozags platinum reserves) just showed up near his altar without needing to be a member of his religion or to spend anything and likewise they all contained unobtainable and foolishly enchanted items.

The "Gozag's platinum reserve" shop is part of a Gozag altar vault, I think it always contains about 4 very highly priced artifacts. I once found one with the plutonium sword for about $10000.

I wish it were possible to specify only good randarts in a vault description, but alas.

The speed brand and damage basically helped me steamroll the whole game.
With haste I was attacking 4-5 times a turn for close to 30 damage steady.

A - the +5,+7 lajatang "Luyneuq" (weapon) {holy, Dex+3}.
You acquired it on level 8 of the Dungeon.
I got this for reading an undentified ?acquirement. Worshipping Xom, using staves.
EDIT: Died to a hydra that refused to be hit by inaccuracy bolts throughout at least 3 encounters. WTF.

Identified the +7 battleaxe "Puub" {vamp, rF+ rC+ Dex+3} (Okawaru gifted it to you on level 13 of the Dungeon)
Nice gift Oka! But I was I troll, you know?
the cursed +5 ring mail of Piuq (worn) {rF+ rC+ Dex+1 Int+2}
(You found it on level 9 of the Dungeon)
Really nice for my MfSu! Too bad I misspressed a key and I died on the vault staircase!

Whelp, I'm switching over from Axes.
I'm a Troglodite now, so I'm curious to see whether he'll be able to top that.

Re: Best/Worst Artifacts
Reasons to switch from Axes to Swords
1. You hit Lair with only a hand axe
2. You find the Plutonium Sword and don't have a holy brand battle or exec axe
I'd hold onto the sword for the rare instances I run into hydras, but I wouldn't train LB. Int means nothing to Troglodytes and the brand isn't worth the potential annoyance of Contam.

It's so you learn never to wield a weapon with Contam unless you don't ever plan on switching, especially since you could use an untrained flaming falchion and get the same effect without growing tentacles.
In other words the weapon is bad and he should be ashamed for even considering it. Tough love is needed at times.

Re: Best/Worst Artifacts
Elder responded that he'd use it as a weapon switch for hydras, which is generally bad advice because it has contamination. If you have a decent flaming axe, that'd be best. Using the great sword as a hydra-switch with 0 skill is dangerous as it's slow, and mutates you afterwards. Training the great sword and using it 100% of the time is reasonable (assuming you have the time/exp to train it). Possibly the confusion is over the changes to contam going from slow accumulation of glow to an immediate on unwield effect? Under the old system you'd be able to switch to it and switch out before getting to yellow glow, wouldn't you? I never really used old contam items.
After cerebov's question, elder seemed to say he was intending his advice to be bad so that teshi would learn a lesson the "hard" way? I'm as confused by this as cerebov is. It'd be easier to not give bad advice in the first place, if you knew it was bad. I give bad advice all the time because I just don't know I'm wrong

Not the best brand, but I'm already at min delay, and that should carry me for a while.
