The Acquirement lottery

[darkdrone]

Anguirel, in Sangband, ?Acq was dropped by a Master Rogue - cant remm the depth though ...

I picked up a scroll on my lvl 26 HE Mage while diving from lvl 20 to lvl 30. I didn`t Id it until I got down there and was pleasantly suprised when I saw what it was. I read it straight away and it gave me a Brigadine Armour of the Rohirrim.

My first scroll of Acquirement yielded Gondor. I don't think I've ever gotten anything memorable from one since . That character, the first I ever had who _should_ have been a winner (died to tapping too fast at dlvl ~80), had a number of lucky firsts.

First Ancient Dragon I ever killed yielded Ringil, around 1900'. First round vault I ever entered gave Belthronding and Barahir (about 2000'- I needed RPoison, so Barahir was useful, and I was a ranger so Belthronding was nice). First ever greater vault yielded a lot of useful artifacts, including Thorin (around 4200' EDIT: err, I mean 2200). I do remember that that vault almost killed me twice- twas the first time I ever killed Adunaphel, which was a near thing, and then for some reason I tried on some new artifact armor and gave up rDark right before an Ethereal Dragon popped through the wall. Kind of amazing that I remember all this- the dump is long lost. I guess you always remember your first good kit.

Wrong - I found my first PDSM ever - now I'm dead! Though the dead was stupid as always.
Besides the char was dead from the beginning because Bullroarer dropped the phial.
OTOH my paladin passed away without finding a single dungeon spellbook.

[Dragonboneman]

You're deader than A-line flares with pockets in the knees.

[Mondkalb]

I just got Holhenneth at dlvl 32.

[fyonn]

well, i just for my first scroll of acquirement in the current game, on level 77, and it netted me *another* copy of tensers... wowee :|

[Djabanete]

Glaive of Slay Human at depth 34...

I guess the scroll was dropped by a Hill Orc, so I shouldn't have expected much.

What's funny is that I actually used the damn thing.

[Geofferic]

Well, I have been playing V since before Ben Harrison ... but I just installed my first variant. *ducks*

So I don't know if these are things I can do in other games or not. Hehehe.

So far, Steamband seems ok and I'm looking forward to trying UnAngband some more now that I know how to leave the first town. *sheepish grin*

I really do wish something more was done with those daggers.

Keep them in your quiver and macro their activation --- in most variants they recharge in quiver. In some variants their brands are very valuable against non-resistant monsters, so you can swap them in from time to time, especially for Rogues and Assassins that value light weapons. The same for throwing at non-resistant monsters.

Uhm, oh, actually, am I in the V subforum? How did I get there?

I really do wish something more was done with those daggers. Like they could improve with clvl or something. I love hanging onto them. Usually the only thing in my house. Hehe.

You'd like ToME - the 'Thanc daggers are 'sentient' and gain levels and properties as you kill stuff with them (and a handful of other weapons)...

[Geofferic]

Narthanc? My favourite! Perfect for throwing!

I think the best thing I've ever received was Narthanc, and that ain't so good.
