    memorable Maggot drops

    We have the memorable rabndart thread, but none for the early goodies from town I believe.

    So here goes:

    Main Gauche of Extra Attacks (1d5) (+1,+3) <+2>

    first game of new 3.5 dev frozen version, dropped for my halftroll warrior who gets 5.4 blows with it, doing 54.4 damage per turn.
    Lets see how the RNG decides to strike back.

    I remember getting a Holy Avenger dagger from him once. Not as much damage as your Extra Attacks, but a lot of other useful properties.

      Bow of extra shots. I think it was short bow though, so not anything extraordinary. I got that HA dagger from Battle-scarred vet once, playing priest (+4) to WIS to boost already high starting WIS was great.

            A Dwarven priest that was getting off to a bit of a slow start just got a (+5, +6) Warhammer of Frost from Maggot after recalling to the town after the first time. He also found a rod of identify sitting on the floor on level 4. Really weird game so far.

              Mentioned this in another thread, but I recently got a character level 1 Holy Avenger Longsword +9 +9 from Maggot. I ended up winning that game handily.

                  You have got to be joking. That's almost a game-winner out of the gate!

                      Maggot just dropped a Helm of Beauty. Worthless, but memorable. I thought Charisma had been done away with. What is a Helm of Beauty still doing in Vanilla 3.5? I guess the Amulet of Adornment needed company.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

                        That's odd; I just checked the edit files, and the Beauty ego has no allocation line, so it should be impossible to generate. I guess maybe there's some bug that means that even items with no allocation lines can potentially be generated in the town?

                        There's also a comment above it saying "Remove post-3.5" which suggests that it's only present for backwards compatibility with old savefiles or something similar.

                          Farmer Maggot recently dropped this randart for my PosChengband Blue-Mage at clvl 1:
                          The Lucerne Hammer 'Freezing Point' (2d5) (+11,+11) (+2)
                          My best try at PosChengband 7.0.0's nightmare-mode on Angband.live:
                          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwAR0WOphUA

                          If I'm offline I'm probably in the middle of maintaining Gentoo or something-Linux or other.

                            I finally got tired of listening to the Maggot, and afterwards, pulled a pair of Leather Boots of Stability off his feet.
                            They've been splashed a few times, so they're down to [2,+2], but they started at +6. A bit lightweight, but I haven't found anything better, and the Nexus resistance has been... useful

                              Does he have a chance to spawn while you're already in the town? Or is it that he's either there when you enter or not at all? i.e. can I scum in town for him?
