Holy f***ing moly!!!

p) an Emerald Ring of Speed <+23>
Found lying on the floor in a vault at 4450 feet (level 89)

+23 speed.




Current comp character (194). And that was like 30 seconds after finding boots of Feanor. @_@

You are so dead

You are so The Flash.

I think that's a new record for biggest speed ring ever found on these forums. Congrats! Don't waste it.

"I'll just swap out the speed ring for this fight..."
"Oh look, he's summoned a Colbran..."
"Oh crap."

*Ahem*. Joint record: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=10456

(... but, actually IIRC someone mentioned a +24 in the thread when I posted about it. Not sure if that was ever posted anywhere, though.)

A third +23, back when NPP was just Vanilla with a couple patches.

49 base speed I see. That is fast enough for ToME Void

[Estie]

My best one is only 22

Grats

The funny thing is... I never equipped the ring with that character. Feanor + Aglarang + trickery amulet to get over +20 base speed, using a pair of INT/CON rings to get both stats to 18/200 (for half-troll mage).

Years ago, I also found a +23 speed ring:

Seems like its some weird artifact of the RNG, since my *second* biggest ring ever is +16

[Sky]

crap .. i came here to brag about my RoS +18, dropped by a summon on DL73.

Wow, I thought my +15 was good.

[Avenger]

I think the maximum + depends on the variant.

MAngband used to have(and maybe still does, I'm not sure) some kind of infinite generation process, with each step becoming progressively rarer. There was a player who had dual +18s, which were obscene.

In current TomeNET, to the best of my knowledge at least, Speed rings are capped at +15, and they're super rare... my best at the moment is an 11, and I haven't found anything bigger then a +9 the entire time I've been back, within the last month or so.

That 23 must have been on the infinite process, but the odds have to be astronomical against it. The RNG must have taken pity on you in your quest to win without egos, lol.

Bet you won't try that over on TomeNET, though

I confirm that MAngband uses the same process as Angband, and someone also found a +23 speed ring not long ago (and died minutes afterwards heh). Rings of Speed in TomeNET use the same process, but the code puts a hardcoded cap of +15 (and rarity is 3 instead of 1).
