    Some Wow items from a 9-9 2800 ft vault

    Minor upgrade to my Ring of Resist Poison:

    c) the Band 'Eolion' <+2, +5, +6, +3>
    Found lying on the floor in a vault at 2800 feet (level 56)

    +2 strength.
    +5 intelligence.
    +6 dexterity.
    +3 shooting speed.
    Provides resistance to Acid, Poison, Sound, Nexus.
    Provides protection from confusion.
    Cannot be harmed by Lightning.
    Feather Falling. Prevents paralysis.

    When activated, it heals 1000 hit points.
    Takes 248 to 334 turns to recharge at your current speed.
    Your chance of success is 93.9%

    Slightly better than my Elven Armor rBase rShards:

    g) Power Dragon Scale Mail (-3) [60,+16] (charging)
    Found lying on the floor at 2800 feet (level 56)

    Provides resistance to Acid, Lightning, Fire, Cold, Poison, Light,
    Dark, Sound, Shards, Chaos, Disenchantment.
    Provides protection from confusion.

    Note that +3 shooting speed is now actually +30% so that's not that "wow" anymore...

      Wouldn't that be the equivalent to a level 30 ranger? That's fairly wow. Coupled with a sling of power and some branded ammo then it's a very powerful boost.

        +3 shooting speed is very nice to have in a ring, playing a ranger.
        However, compared to old shooting speed, +3 shots per turn, this is barely a noticeable bonus

          Well - I had this:

          b) the Heavy Crossbow 'Arost' (x6) (+13,+21) <+1, +4, +2>
          Found lying on the floor in a vault at 2400 feet (level 48)

          +1 strength.
          +4 infravision.
          +2 shooting power.
          +1 light.
          Cannot be harmed by Acid, Fire.
          Prevents paralysis.

          So some of my better ammo did this:


          2) 24 Bolts of Flame (1d5) (+18,+14)
          Branded with fire.

          Combat info:
          When fired, hits targets up to 180 feet away.
          Average damage/round: 466.8 vs creatures not resistant to fire and
          311.2 vs. others.
          20% chance of breaking upon contact.

          3) 24 Seeker Bolts (4d5) (+9,+10)
          Combat info:
          When fired, hits targets up to 180 feet away.
          Average damage/round: 348.7.
          20% chance of breaking upon contact.

          5) 16 Mithril Bolts (3d5) (+3,+7)
          Cannot be harmed by Acid.

          Combat info:
          When fired, hits targets up to 180 feet away.
          Average damage/round: 297.1.
          20% chance of breaking upon contact.



          This all became moot when I got hit by nether 3 times on the same turn (the only thing I didn't resist.) But I was being careless so YASD, because my armor gave me overconfidence.

            That sucks, it's literally the only thing your armour doesn't resist. I think I'd have made the same error
