    Nice. I recently had a game (and win!) that started off with Farmer Maggot at level 1 dropping a Holy Avenger Longsword (+9, +9).

      After a minute of stairscumming 50/100ft, I get hit by a poisoning critter. Thinking it's a good time to quaff those unid potions in the inventory, hoping for neutralize poison:

      Your eyes begin to tingle!
      You have no more Indigo Potions of Infravision.
      Wow! You feel very strong!
      Wow! You feel very smart!
      Wow! You feel very wise!
      Wow! You feel very dextrous!
      Wow! You feel very healthy!
      You have no more Metallic Red Potions of Augmentation.
      In a recent game, I got a potion of experience at 50ft...

        NewAngband (>= 3.5) is awesome isn't it?

        I really love the increased variability in drops -- you never quite know what you're going to get, but it's going to be fun finding out! Right?

          DAT Farmer Maggot.

          Playing NPP port on my phone, got a Robe of Permanence [+2, 28] at dlvl 1 on one of my successive descends (not enough money for a Recall yet)

            I think I'll just quaff this !Enlightment before recalling...

            Playing a Half-Troll Warrior, I found Deathwreaker late in the game. Being I was virtually aggravating everything due to horrible stealth the entire game, I promptly wielded and destroyed Angmar and Sauron. Dropped down the stairs to dl100 and was going to recall to town to pick up consumables stored at home for the ultimate fight with Morgoth. Thought, "I'll just quaff this !Enlightenment before recalling...." Wow! The One Ring! Is it close? Can I get to it before Morgoth comes down on me? Yep! Managed to break into a vault, grab that little trinket and escape. The final fight was very, very easy!

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.”

              SAngband, going down to DL17 from 16 with a nearly full inventory with my Dark Elf halberdier (because CHALLENGE!) to escape from magic mushroom fuckery. In short order, found three ego items (Ball and Chain of Troll slaying +3 +2, Morningstar of Poisoning +3 +4, Soft Leather Boots of Earthquakes +2) and a horde of orcs leading up to Ufthak of Cirith Ungol. Who then gave a Brigandine Armour +1 and nothing else. WHY RNG WHY.

                My most recent game (consequently a winning game!) got me Eowyn off of Wormtongue on dlvl 4, and Holhonneth on dlvl 10. Made for a pretty easy early-mid game.
