memorable randarts

b) the Heavy Crossbow of Rhungor (x7) (+12,+25) <+4, +3>
Found lying on the floor in a vault at 2100 feet (level 42)

+4 shooting speed.
+3 shooting power.
Branded with acid.
Provides resistance to acid.
Cannot be harmed by acid, fire.

After I found this, I basically killed all uniques as soon as I encountered them.

My best bolts:

8) 17 Mithril Bolts of Holy Might (3d5) (+24,+16)
Slays undead, demons, evil creatures.
Cannot be harmed by acid.

Combat info:

resistant to acid, 1429.2 vs evil creatures, and 1111.8 vs.
others.
20% chance of breaking upon contact.

Another bonkers launcher!! What version of Angband are you playing? I have been playing 4.25 in search of elite launchers but cannot find any broken artifact launchers. My last game I found an artifact sling X4 +7 damage with demon slay and +20 shots (so +2 shots by the old system). Even that humble sling was devastating with shots that do not break. (I did find tons of really good shots, though).

At the time I posted, I had a ring granting fire immunity, and I carried the 3 other immunities all the time, swapping as needed. Later I pickup up a usuable weapon with elec immunity, and swapped back and forth acid and cold.

YW. In 3.0.9b the damage isnt shown yet; however, it is higher than in current angband since more modifiers get multiplied. I forgot the exact formula.
Given that a seeker arrow of frost did very close to 50% damage to a lesser balrog, the damage with those can easily be estimated by looking up the hp of lesser balrogs: 1760 according to monster.txt, so the damage should be around 900 per shot or 2700 per round.

Thanks! Yeah, it's also fun to show how much damage those arrows of slay evil are doing per turn. I'm pretty sure they must've been doing over 1500 damage!

Thanks Estie! Now if you could please make a video with that X5 (+35, +49) launcher.

EDIT: I hope you don't mind me showing its details here:

The Short Bow 'Moringbar' (x2) (+35,+49) (+3)
It increases your intelligence by 3. It increases your shooting
power by 3. It provides immunity to lightning and cold. It
provides resistance to acid, light, dark, confusion, nexus, and
nether. It sustains your strength, intelligence, and charisma. It
slows your metabolism, makes you fall like a feather, and speeds
your regeneration. It grants you immunity to paralysis and the
ability to see invisible things, but it also aggravates creatures
around you. It cannot be harmed by the elements.

Is this character still alive? If so, might you be interested in making a screenrecording of you going around whomping on greater dragons and greater demons?

The initial fumblings are due to the fact that caps lock was turned on, from my setting up the capture. Also I havent played Angband recently and wasnt "warm", but @ can kill demons allright
Edit: Oh, and I can upload the save file and/or the randart seed if anyone wants to play around or somehow use the randart set on the server.
