New memorable randarts

[Ugramoth]

Dafug? I don't remember Tolkien mentioning any genius shovel maker, yet here I am, fretting over which shovel to use:

Shovel of Machaure (3d2) (+12,+21) [+20] <+1>
Found lying on the floor at 2100 feet

+1 light
Slays dragons (powerfully), demons (powerfully), undead, trolls, animals, evil creatures.
Branded with weak acid.
Provides resistance to acid, fire, cold, sound.
Provides protection from fear.
Sustains dexterity.
Grants telepathy. Grants the ability to see invisible things. Prevents paralysis.

[Ugramoth]

RNG gods are being nice

So mage of the Two Mighty Shovels has to wield option 1 for stun resistance and could not use 2 for telepathy. Therefore, he has to rely on puny helm of telepathy instead of artifact helm with stat bonuses...
"Oh thanks Smaug, just what I needed!":
Hard Leather Cap 'Telwin' [2, +11] <+1, +3>
Dropped by Smaug the golden at 2400 feet.

+1 strength
+3 intelligence
+3 wisdom
+1 light
Provides resistance to fire, dark.
Cannot be harmed by acid.
Feather Falling. Grants telepathy. Grants the ability to see invisible things.

Well, still lacking key resistances of sound and shards and has to wear stupid ring of resist poison...
"OK, this will do!":
Band of Haleb <+3, +5, +2, +1>
Found lying on the floor in a vault at 2450

+3 strength
+5 intelligence
+2 dexterity
+1 light
Provides immunity to lightning.
Provides resistance to poison, dark, sound, shards.
Provides protection from fear.
Cannot be harmed by lightning.
Slows your metabolism. Prevents paralysis.

When activated, it creates a large frost ball with damage 200.

[Thraalbee]

My rogue suddenly got a lot stealthier! (2x iirc)

h) the Fur Cloak of Wildo [3,+16] <+3, +6, +1>
Dropped by Bill the Stone Troll at 1850 feet (level 37)

+3 intelligence.
+6 stealth.
+1 light.
Cannot be harmed by acid, fire.

[Sigh. 30seconds later dead to a pack of gravity hounds...]

[kandrc]

Just found. I didn't know it was that kind of dungeon!

the Zweihander of Dildo (3d6) (+14,+11) <+2>
Taken from a chest found at 2500 feet (level 50)

A sword designed for two hands.

+2 speed.
Slays undead (powerfully), demons (powerfully).

Speed regeneration.

This one wins the game! Let the jokes begin.

On a more serious note, it looks like the 's' verb ending is missing in "Speed regeneration." Bug?

[Therem Harth]

Not the first one either. Last item of Dildo IIRC was a mattock with bonuses to tunneling and constitution.

Edit: here we go!

Transposition error, all mine.

d) The Heavy Crossbow of Doliel (x4) (+14,+10) (+4)
    It provides light (radius 1).  It increases your strength, 
    intelligence, wisdom, dexterity and constitution by 4.  It fires
    missiles excessively fast.  It cannot be harmed by acid, cold,
    lightning or fire.

[Egavactip]

Just picked this one up right now.

Mace of Disruption of Caldir (10d8) (+5, +12) <+2>
+2 constitution
Slays evil creates, undead
Cannot be harmed by acid, fire.

5.0 blows/round.
With +3 STR and +0 DEX you would get 5.2 blows
Average damage/round: 770 vs evil creatures, 1046.5 vs. undead, and 493 vs. others.

Clears rubble in 1.4 turns, magma veins in 3.2 turns, quartz veins in 6.9 turns, and granite in 17 turns.

My character has strength of 18/190 right now, so +3 strength to get even more doesn't seem achievable, but 770 vs evil seems like as nice as an endgame weapon as I've ever seen.

[Egavactip]

Just got an elven ring, allowing me to make some swaps, so now damage is 841.6 vs. evil.

[Egavactip]

Sauron just dropped the One Ring. This character has gotten all the gots to get. Elven ring, RoS +17, awesome weapon, now the One Ring...

[Egavactip]

If anybody cares, the character, having won, is now on the ladder: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=22353

+36 shooter

b) the Short Bow of Amaramarm (x3) (+18,+36) <+6, +1>

+6 strength.
+1 shooting power.
+1 light.
Provides protection from fear.
Cannot be harmed by acid, fire.

[Derakon]

"Am a ram arm" sounds pretty good; with that bow I bet you could punch through doors with your fists.

[Adam]

Not the strongest item but on level 23 (including 2 DD) it's quite an improvement. Narya without iFire.
Perfect for my mage who does not need wisdom or dexterity.
