memorable randarts

[Jay]

There are some powerful artifacts that aggravate in 3.5.1 but definitely not all. Apparently the algorithm used to create randarts then used standarts as a basis, and the spoiler file references this. So, you end up with things like this:

the Adamantite Plate Mail of Daith (-4) [80,+16] <+4>
-----------------------------------------------------
+4 strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution.
Provides resistance to acid, lightning, fire, cold, poison, light, dark, sound,
nexus, nether, chaos, disenchantment.
Provides protection from fear.
Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.
Speeds regeneration. Grants the ability to see invisible things.

When activated, it restores both intelligence and manapoints to maximum.
Takes 164 to 240 turns to recharge.


Min Level 100, Max Level 127, Generation chance 1, Power 775, 42.0 lbs
Based on Bladeturner.

Or this:

the Pair of Iron Shod Boots of Faratanor [4,+18] <+13>
------------------------------------------------------
+13 wisdom, speed.
Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.


Min Level 65, Max Level 127, Generation chance 2, Power 434, 3.5 lbs
Based on Razorback.

+13 wisdom! Quite a boost to your saving throw even if you're not playing a priest/paladin.

I play the old version too, though not because, but despite the randarts. The single p-value isnt so bad, in my opinion, the rule that makes all high value artifacts aggravate is, though. A typical game of old Angband with randarts enabled plays out in 2 phases: phase 1 which is almost a no-artifact game plus phial followed by the short phase of boss fights where I equip all the aggravating good items I collected.

Edit: 3.5.1 already did away with aggravation

[Jay]

Found a copy of vanilla 3.5.1 on an old hard drive and played a couple games. Randarts were wild back then. Found a pair of boots that were +7 STR, WIS, and speed, for example. Here's the character on the ladder (the boots are in the house).

[Estie]

Grats. Havent had a good speed ring in a while, I guess they favour your games now.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's a thing

Nice! You can make a macro for its activation for when a monster is running from low health: Aa

undead, trolls, orcs, and creatures not resistant to cold, 570 vs
evil creatures, creatures not resistant to poison, and animals,

I don't know how a random dragon kid on 2150' got ahold of this thing but I sure ain't complaining

My rogue found this and with FI from a helmet enjoyed elemental immunity. I was looking forward to killing Ancalagon but the sly drake stayed in hiding. Even though I found a sword that did more lightning damage, I never ended up using it because the mace was just too convenient. Dangerous monsters were dealt with using either the xbow or wands.

Kobold ranger lvl 32 (drank an early !exp) cleared a minor vault on dlvl 38 to find this:

If anyone wants to try and improve the randart generator, please feel free.

Power 1056 and it doesn't even aggravate... I thought there was a test for high power randarts. Is this broken?

According to the commit history, there was a change 16 years ago to limit aggravation to random artifacts that are powerful enough (originally that was if the target power was greater than 90; at some point it was changed to be if the target power was greater than AGGR_POWER which is 300). That change did not require aggravation on those artifacts: whether or not aggravation is added is conditioned by the frequency of aggravation in the standard artifact set. For aggravation and some of the other stuff that can be added in try_supercharge(), the current handling of the frequencies is suspect (see https://github.com/angband/angband/issues/5984 ), but the change proposed in that issue would only boost the chance of getting aggravation in try_supercharge() from 8/139 to 13/139 for a weapon with a target power greater than 300 (that change would also boost the chance the weapon would get aggravation in add_ability()).

A couple months ago I spotted a ridiculous MoD in the randart set of one of my toons. I started playing with that set; many deceased @s who spent ages on dlvl 100 later I finally found it. To give an idea of how hard it is to find this weapon, all of my ~5 toons had The One long before they died.

WHAT THE FUCK

[PowerWyrm]

Power 1k weapons exist fairly often, however normally they are something like a whip 4d3 with a long list of slays and resists. While they may be good endgame weapons even so, its not "broken" because a) chances are there is some power 300 weapon thats better and b) you never find them. The thing thats "broken" is the power function; I suspect it adds where it should multiply, that is high base damage times extra blows.
This thing should be power value 10k.

Agreed. Randart weapons that are outright better than Grond and don't even aggravate should not happen. This totally imbalances the game. Unless we add a modifier that allows casting speed reduction to be able to cast multiple spells per round. Being able to do 2500 vs evil in melee and only 400 with spells makes no sense...

[Voentorg]

The Battle Axe “Gunion” certainly packs a punch with its impressive array of properties!
Overall, the Battle Axe “Gunion” is a formidable weapon, especially against dragons, demons, and undead. The combination of slays and brands makes it versatile in various situations. Plus, the additional resistances and effects provide excellent utility.
