The Acquirement lottery

[Dragonboneman]

We've been discussing Scrolls of Acquirement a little of late and it's got me wondering - what is the best/worst item ever received from one of these? To me, they're a bit like Angband's lottery tickets - you have a brief feeling of hope when you get one, almost always followed by disappointment.
My best ever scroll produced Anarion. Needless to say death followed swiftly. Several tie for the worst by giving me weapons of slay foo. How about you? Ever get something truly amazing/dismal?

[Djabanete]

In my current Entro game, Acquirement in the early 40's produced Isildur.

That's probably the best it's ever done for me. I've gotten my share of Lucerne hammers of Slay Animal.

This is the best I remember, playing Un:

Found another acq scroll, and got my wow *YES* item. Those randart boots are godly compared to the rest of my kit, offering several important resists. It's the first item to give res confu!!

l) The Pair of Metal Shod Boots of Daegas [6,+18] (+2)
It modifies constitution and stealth. It provides resistance to acid,
poison, fear, powerful confusion, shards and disenchantment. It
protects you from the effects of poison, cuts and confusion. It gives
its wielder regeneration.

Worst ever was in FAA - I got a randart helm and was understandably excited - a scroll of *ID* revealed that its powers were:

RLight


That was it - not even the +1 to light radius that I would have got from a Helm of Light...

[Daven_26d1]

Worst I ever got was a bare dagger, but I didn't really understand the scrolls at the time.

Best was probably Bard at around lvl 50-60, in Sang.

Got my best from ?Aquirement just now: got Thranduil at L39. Literally a minute ago.

[HallucinationMushroom]

Best: Soulkeeper

Most hilarious: The gloves of fire and ice which provided, of course, lightning and acid resist.

[Paffa]

I've gotten *many* shields/armours of resist acid/lightning/fire/cold. Totally and utterly useless at the point ?Acquirement can even be found.

Can't remember the best one.. But I don't count too much on those scrolls.

[Djabanete]

Score! Elven Cloak of Freezing (+4 stealth) from a ?Acq, dropped by a Ghost on level 33.
(This is Entro.)

Oooh, nice! What's one of them? I haven't played Entro much.

[Djabanete]

It's basically what it says on the box
+4 to stealth, cold aura, resist cold.
(Cold aura makes it so that when a monster hits you in melee, it suffers some cold damage; somewhat useful ability for a fighter-type like me.)

[Geofferic]

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

Narthanc? My favourite! Perfect for throwing!

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.
