Best/Worst Artifacts

[Turukano]

The +5 Leather Armour of Death Resistance {Int+2 Slay+4 Stl-}, found in an actual game of magipi. This would be the best armour ever if only the name could be taken literally!

[Magipi]

From the same run:

  Code:

the ring "Reicriso" (right hand) {rF+ EV+3 Slay+6}

[Magipi]

  Code:

the ring "Inydy" (left hand) {rElec rF++ MP+9 Int+3 Stlth-}

That Stlth- ruins it a bit, but still a good ring.

  Code:

the +9 blowgun of Exquisite Torment {speed, rF+ MP+9 Int+2 Dex+2}

No comment.

[Sprucery]

First my HaWr of Dith got this:

  Code:

S - the +3 buckler of Shyuh {Int-4 Slay+6}
   (You took it off Norris on level 14 of the Dungeon) 

which was very good, but now this is better:

  Code:

Y - the +2 buckler of the Castellan (worn) {MR+ Int+5 Slay+5 SInv}
   (You found it on level 2 of the Depths)   

[Sprucery]

Almost immediately after that:

  Code:

Y - the +11 greatsling "Geocauti" (weapon) {freeze, rElec rC- Int+7 Stlth+}
   (You acquired it on level 2 of the Depths)

I'm wearing a cloak of rC+ so no problem there.

[mopl]

  Code:

the +6 shadow dragon armour of Lodghu {rElec rF- Int+12 Stlth++++}

A very atypic one !

[Sandman25]

I was analyzing DEMo highscore (version 0.13) and found this:

  Code:

the ring of Gosagh (left hand) {rF+ rC+ rN+ MR++ Acc+5 Dam+5}


I think I know how name for god of great artefacts was created

[argonaut]

  Code:

the +2 pair of gloves of Protective Custody {-Tele Regen+ MP+9}

Aptly named.

[byrel]

  Code:

+9 hammer of Desperation {crush, rC+}

My current hydra-smasher, since it cross-trains with axes.

[mopl]

  Code:

the +1 robe of Sin {rF+ rC+ SInv Stlth+}

This does make me want to Sin...

[argonaut]

  Code:

the +21 crystal plate armour of the Princeling {+Fly rCorr}

Sadly found on Shoals:2 by a str 12 MuCj.

[nago]

Go MuCj of Chei Go!

[emikaela]

  Code:

[Orc:4] 1401 gold  the +6 lajatang of the Chickpea {speed, rF+ rC+ rN+}


probably not worth switching from my double sword of freezing, but it's tempting...

[mopl]

  Code:

the +1 pair of gloves of the New World {rPois Regen+ Dex+8 Stlth-}

[mopl]

  Code:

the amulet of Propriety {rPois MR+++ Regen+ Str+4}

And for my Op...

  Code:

the +10 fire dragon armour "Luobas" {rF++ rC- MR+}
the +8 pearl dragon armour of the Duke {*Drain rN+ Int-2 Dex+9 Stlth+}

[argonaut]

  Code:

the +11 dagger of Invincibility {elec, *Contam rElec Str+5 Int+3}


[le_nerd]

  Code:

J - the ring of the Solstice (left hand) {rF++ rC++ EV+3}


Jeesh, and that on a char that can actually use the resistance.

[treerex5]

  Code:

A - the ring of No More Anxiety (right hand) {rF+++, rC+++, rMut}

[BugHunter]

Found by a SpEn^Dith:

  Code:

u - the +8 quarterstaff of Compound Interest (weapon) {freeze, rElec MR+ MP+9 Int+3}
   (You found it on level 11 of the Dungeon)

   It has been specially enchanted to freeze those struck by it, causing extra
   injury to most foes and up to half again as much damage against particularly
   susceptible opponents. It can also slow down cold-blooded creatures.

   It affects your intelligence (+3).
   It insulates you from electricity.
   It affects your resistance to hostile enchantments.
   It affects your magic capacity (+9).


Ok, so it's not so great for stabbity-stabbity, but still pretty nice to swap to if the victim wakes up. But I'm not sure it's worth spending the XP to level up staves, especially on a char like a SpEn that has so many other needs for XP.

[Turukano]

That's from an actual KoFi game of Vidiiot:

  Code:

ring of Upiorph {Wiz rElec rPois rC++ Int+2 SInv Stlth+}

[The Ferret]

  Code:

O - the +2 pair of gloves "Omiv" (worn) {MR+ Regen+ rCorr SInv}.

bought from a bazaar shop in Shoals

[BugHunter]

  Code:

v - +0 pair of gloves of Whack-A-Mole {+Fly Regen+} (curse)


Too bad I found this right after finding

  Code:

h - a +0 pair of boots of flying (worn)


These must be new, there is no wiki page for them. They appear to give full-time flying, with the ability to turn it off and on. Nice. No speed gain, though.

[xentronium]

  Code:

V - the amulet of the Sunfish (around neck) {rMut +Rage +Inv rElec rF+ rC+ rN+ MR+ Stlth+}.


This is probably the best amulet I've ever seen.
E: Amulet of the alchemist.

[wheals]

  Code:

h - a +0 pair of boots of flying (worn)

They used to be called boots of flight.

[Aethrus]

  Code:

V - the amulet of the Sunfish (around neck) {rMut +Rage +Inv rElec rF+ rC+ rN+ MR+ Stlth+}.


This is probably the best amulet I've ever seen.
E: Amulet of the alchemist.

No rCorr, 6/10 best I can do.

[Piginabag]

Search no further for GSC's;

+9 giant spiked club of Syqyach {speed, rPois rN+ MP+9 Dex+4}

from http://dobrazupa.org/morgue/penismunche ... 234405.txt

[njvack]

  Code:

You syqyach the yaktaur like a grape!!!

[Piginabag]

I have also stumbled across Octopode Unreasons, the armor

the +14 pearl dragon armour "Nuev Qie" {rPois rN+ Slay+3}

[byrel]

the +10 trident of Certain Death (weapon) {flame, rElec rF+ rN+ Stlth+}
(You found it on level 8 of the Dungeon)

[xentronium]

  Code:

x - the -9 chain mail of the Ban (worn) {+Rage}.

I see why this was banned.

[tedric]

  Code:

l - the +8 gold dragon armour "Voikergh" {rPois rF+ rC+ MP+9 Str+2 Dex+3}

Acquired on a TrMo^Chei who was already wearing a vanilla GDA and just bought an amulet of guardian spirit on O:4

E: ...and who now can afford the AC hit to wear the Hat of the Alchemist that's been taking up inventory space since L:2

[MainiacJoe]

  Code:

+5 faerie dragon armour {rC+ MR+ Int+3 Dex+5}

On a MfGl that was using +5 ring mail {rC+ Str-3 Dex+4 Slay+3} so it still gives me the rC+ I need, and gives up Slay+3 to get +2AC, +2EV, MR+, Str+3, Dex+1, and Int+3!

[WildSam]

  Code:

the +7 triple crossbow of Lein (weapon) {velocity, rElec rPois Int+2}.
Okawaru gifted it to you on level 3 of the Lair of Beasts.

As bonus ignite blood reached final level around Lair 2. Never got Hellfire on crossbow-using character, but I guess it's same feel. Every tab pressed is some guy on edge of los getting erased while setting aflame everything around. Like some rocket launcher - very satisfactory.
Got banished pretty soon and it feels like DoomRL: running, demons, explosions and guts everywhere.

[WingedEspeon]

  Code:

the ring of the Unkillable {+Fly rF+ rN+ Str+6}


Obviously better than mere death resistance.

On a side note I was carrying a regular rF ring as my only source of fire resistance. this is obviously better.

[WingedEspeon]

  Code:

the +9 gold dragon armour "Teshuir" {rPois rF+ rC+ Regen+ Dex+3 Slay-6}


It looks good until you see the Slay-6. Fortunatly I have a trove looking for a +2 or better GDA.

[Sprucery]

  Code:

 q - the +12 giant spiked club "Kihitad" (weapon) {speed, rPois}
   (Okawaru gifted it to you on level 1 of the Lair of Beasts)

This is probably the best weapon I've ever had.

[WingedEspeon]

  Code:

ring of Xom's Entertainment {rPois MR+++ Int-3 Dex+2 Stlth+}


Sadly it was not gifted by Xom.

[Rast]

  Code:

A - the ring of No More Anxiety (right hand) {rF+++, rC+++, rMut}

rMut can appear on rings now?

[prozacelf]

It's not really among the best or worst I've found, but it needs to be commemorated somewhere:

Found tha +0 leathar armour o' Fun an' Games {rPois rN+++ Str-3 Int-3}.

Imagine all the wacky good times you can get up to in *that*, people!

[WingedEspeon]

  Code:

+10 rapier of Exoneration {vamp, rPois rC++ Int-3 Stlth+}


pretty darn good as I found it on a HaAs that is a murdain stabber(needles and nets).

[Siegurt]

  Code:

the +5 cloak "Sampouti" (worn) {rC++ MR+}


[tedric]

  Code:

the +9 gold dragon armour "Teshuir" {rPois rF+ rC+ Regen+ Dex+3 Slay-6}


It looks good until you see the Slay-6. Fortunatly I have a trove looking for a +2 or better GDA.

Do troves accept artefacts? I thought it had to be the specific item asked for, which in this case would mean a vanilla GDA enchanted to exactly +2.

They accept any superset of the requested item so the requirements listed are the minimum (it may have additional brands/enchantments/artifact attirbutes, etc.)

They accept any superset of the requested item so the requirements listed are the minimum (it may have additional brands/enchantments/artifact attirbutes, etc.)

That is in fact what led to plain "dragon armour" being renamed "fire dragon armour". People assumed a trove wanting a "+2 dragon armour" would accept a +2 steam dragon armour because "steam dragon armour" sounds like a specific kind of "dragon armour". The monsters themselves weren't renamed until a year and a half later.

[WingedEspeon]

  Code:

The cursed +0 boots of Divine Compulsion {rF+++, rC-, int+3}


Tengue unreasons.

[Lasty]

  Code:

A - the ring of No More Anxiety (right hand) {rF+++, rC+++, rMut}

rMut can appear on rings now?

No. That entry might be a poorly transcribed amulet.

[WingedEspeon]

  Code:

the +1 ring mail of Indecent Exposure {MR++}


Not that unusual, but the description before it was identified was "distressingly furry"

from the same run

  Code:

the +10 blowgun of Vengeance {evade, rC+ MP-9 Int+4}


and

  Code:

the +12 ice dragon armour "Webokov" {rF- rC++ rN+++ Regen+ Int-3}


[Sprucery]

  Code:

s - the +12 hunting sling "Xyiwuxt" (weapon) {velocity, rPois rF+ rC++ Str+2 Int-5}
   (You found it on level 5 of the Dungeon)

This on my TrMo, on a streak as well. Leaves me with Int:1 though.

[MainiacJoe]

  Code:

+0 cloak of the Armoured One {rElec rPois rC+ MP-9 Str+2}

No bad on a HaHu. But +0 on a cloak of the "Armoured One"?

[Sprucery]

  Code:

+0 cloak of the Armoured One {rElec rPois rC+ MP-9 Str+2}

No bad on a HaHu. But +0 on a cloak of the "Armoured One"?

Well, obviously the Armoured One already has high enough AC so the cloak doesn't matter.
