New memorable randarts

[gglibertine]

I killed Grishnakh, and all he dropped were two shovels and a ring of slow digestion. Five minutes later, a terrified yeek dropped this:

And no, I havent edited out any lines.

Wow, we need to have a competition with that as the starting equipment. and maybe 5 ?DD scrolls.

[Estie]

I didnt find this, but I have never seen a better piece of body armor:

Can anyone explain those numbers? From the character sheet Estie posted, the total melee damage of Estie's weapon including all bonuses from equipment is

13d8 + 72 = 130.5 average per blow.

7 blows makes 913.5 per round, not 1211.

So that's off a fair bit. But even more the slay undead version should only multiply the 13d8 so it should be:

(13*4.5*3 + 72)*7 = 1732.5 per round, not 2472.4.

What am I missing?

The original game calculation will include criticals, which make a MASSIVE difference on a 40lb weapon like a MoD. For a dagger, almost nothing.

Also they will inlclude the inherent + To Dam for a character with potentially 18/220 STR, which is also quite significant.

[Estie]

I buffed up before taking the snapshot, with heroism (spell), berserk strength (potion) and bless (which only affects to hit, not damage). Im not sure what exactly those do. I have since rolled a fresh randart set, but if someone really wants me to, I can reload the old one and post unbuffed numbers.

Edit: also the spells that cause weapons to slay evil and demons, from the last green book.

[drquicksilver]

Probably the other items the character is wearing, i.e. a =+15 dam and a "+5 Weaponmastery.

I'm also trying to wrap my head around it slays undead but does more damage to Demons, guessing that's a "disruption" thing?

No, the damage ring, weapon mastery amulet and all other EQ with combat bonuses on are included in the +72 shown on the character dump (as well as the bonus from high strength etc).

The demon damage being higher than the undead will be the priest/paladin spell you can cast which gives you a temporary off-weapon "slays demons powerfully" effect.

[thapper]

I think the damage calculation includes criticals and maybe something more as well?

i think you have a winner there.

[Grotug]

The Mace of Disruption of the balance of the game. that is ridiculous damage. You're literally doing 3X the damage I do in a good warrior game.

[Estie]

a) the Mace of Disruption of Gwinim (13d8) (+6,+18) <+1, +3>
Found lying on the floor in a vault at 4850 feet (level 97)

+1 strength.
+1 constitution.
+3 infravision.
+3 tunneling.
+1 attack speed.
Slays undead.
Cannot be harmed by Acid, Fire.
Speeds regeneration. Grants the ability to see invisible things.
Aggravates creatures nearby.

Combat info:
7.0 blows/round.
This weapon may benefit from one or more off-weapon brands or
slays.
Average damage/round: 3733.8 vs demons, 2472.4 vs undead, 1841.7
vs evil creatures, and 1211 vs. others.


Slaying evil (and demons) thanks to the spell and attempting to enchant it further doesnt seem to work - a few dozen casts only increased the initial +5 to +6.

It was found by a priest and there dont seem to be any items giving extra blows, so the numbers are not all that impressive.
