New memorable randarts

[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.

[Ed_47569]

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.

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

[Grotug]

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

[Estie]

Now _this_ I found:

the Cutlass of Regol (1d8) (+6,+7)

And no, I havent edited out any lines.

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

giants and orcs, 42.3 vs animals, evil creatures, and creatures

[Pete Mack]

To be fair, a terrified yeek *is* more dangerous than Grishnak.

[bdgamer]

Still fairly early, but already picked up a couple of good randarts with my new rogue...

The first found off of... A terrified yeek, of course!

that's a real winner

[Ugramoth]

Yet another HE mage winner. One thing I did not find is this

the Shining Dragon Scale Mail of Morin (-2) [32,+40] <+3, +2, +4>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A suit of scales shining like a beacon of Light even as it greedily sucks the
energy away from everything that glows into Dark insatiate.

+3 strength.
+2 dexterity.
+4 constitution.
+3 stealth.
+4 infravision.
It brands your melee attacks with weak lightning.
Provides immunity to Acid.
Provides resistance to Lightning, Fire, Cold, Poison, Light, Dark, Shards,
Nether, Chaos, Disenchantment.
Provides protection from blindness, confusion.
Slows your metabolism. Prevents paralysis. Sustains your life force.

When activated, it allows you to breathe balance for 250 damage.
Takes 196 to 288 turns to recharge.
Your chance of success is 98.2%


Min Level 100, Max Level 127, Generation chance 11, Power 851, 18.0 lbs
Random dragon armor of power 851.

No speed or telepathy but just about anything else.

This I *did* find:

the Ring of Ellon <+3, +2>
--------------------------
+3 strength.
+2 intelligence.
+2 tunneling.
+3 movement speed.
Provides resistance to Acid, Cold, Light, Dark, Shards, Nether.
Cannot be harmed by Lightning.

When activated, it creates a lightning bolt (that always beams) with damage
6d6.

Your chance of success is 99.0%


Min Level 43, Max Level 127, Generation chance 15, Power 257, 0.2 lbs
Random ring of power 257.

May not seem much but found that early on and that movement +3 is just insane, for mage especially. Could run circles around death quasit and rain bolts on it.

[MITZE]

FAA randart; actually kind of hard to fit in because speed is hard to accumulate, but maybe with two good rings?

[bdgamer]

Didn't find this, but might be the most amazing artifact armor I have seen.

the Multi-Hued Dragon Scale Mail of Ardoren (-2) [45,+21] <+2, +3, +12>

A suit of scales that throbs with angry energies; it takes all your energy to

to-dam.

Your chance of success is 97.5%


Min Level 98, Max Level 127, Generation chance 6, Power 701, 21.0 lbs

[gglibertine]

I'd have liked to have found this, since I might not be dead now:


the Maul of Belent (5d4) (+18,+16) [+6] <+3, +2>

Takes 123 to 165 turns to recharge.
Your chance of success is 89.9%

[Ugramoth]

Worst level ever

Got 'something worthwhile' feeling on DL18. Good! Early artifact!
Turned out to be this:

Cloack 'Eluil' [1, -14] <-4> {cursed}:
Found on the floor at 900 feet.

It makes you vulnerable to fire but resistant to cold
It paralyses you every now and then.
-4 Intelligence
Feather falling

Activates for 6d8 frost bolt

Later, found a chest. Hopefully there is at least something useful inside.
A ring! Nice!... Or not:

Band of Vathimbar [-22] {cursed}

It periodically turns your skin to stone
It paralyses you every now and then.

Sustains strength, constitution.
Aggravates creatures nearby.

[Pete Mack]

I dunno. I still think Beruthiel and Mormegil are worse. It'd be very hard to top -10 speed.
