Is this just really bad luck?

[Fendell Orcbane]

I'm currently playing a Dwarf Priest in Vanilla 3.2.0. Level 30ish (at dungeon level 41), and I've yet to find a single +speed item (other than the usual Rings of Teleportation and Escaping). No rings, no boots, nada. No artifacts at all either.

Since normal gameplay isn't enough, I've also crudely hacked generate.c to generate pits and vaults on every level. Even the vaults (well, the ones that I can take on at +0 speed) contain very few ego items, and not powerful ones. The best thing I've found so far is a Metal Cap of Telepathy - which is nice, but doesn't help me take on Uvatha the Horsemen when he makes an appearance.

Granted that I'm coming from T2, with artifacts falling out of traps and stuff, this seems a bit odd.

NB: I am playing with randarts on, maybe that has something to do with it?

I had to use hit and run tactics for quite awhile until I finally started to find some good items. Really I just dove as quick as I could until I found speed rings and items.

That's actually absolutely normal. You shouldn't be finding any speed items that early.
