What the heck is "Varda"?

It's what gets inscribed on the ground when you lay a rune of protection

I see what you did there. Nice sneaky Nethack reference.

Sorry, I probably got the name wrong. The ring with +2 to all stats, +5 speed, ESP, lightning immunity, and activation to heal 1000 HP. I *think* it starts with V.

I think you're thinking of Vilya

That B Vilya--my last winner had it. Nice ring :-) I think I still prefer Narya for the fire immunity but I don't recall the boosts...

Also I wish the activation on Vilya would be more liberal (Lower % fail) for maxed characters with good intelligence. A heal spell with fail >20% is too dangerous to use, and Vilya is *way* over 20% fail even for max characters...

Ha that's funny. My paladins of course can't wear The One Ring.

What the heck is "Varda"? is that a new artifact to the game? I never heard of it. My PDSM character had Vilya but used a Holy Avenger Scythe of Slicing over all the artifacts he found, close 2nd being the Lance of the Eorlingas.

Current character just gave away Taratol to the weapon smith--I now recognize it as something not really worth keeping... the only immunities that really matter are acid and fire. I have Thorin again this game which is nice. Would be cool to find Narya.

...And I got Narya, nice. Hmm, might be just some more consumables and a better speed ring, then a date with the big M
