Has the RNG lost its mind?

[Chud]

Alas, the RNG isn't liking me in my current game, at least to some extent. CL26 at DL26, after 767k game turns, and not a single artifact to be seen yet. (Randarts game.) Ah well, maybe it's just saving the good ones for me...

Artifacts get muck more common with depth, so it's no surprise if they don't show up before DL 30 or even 40. That said, 750k turns at DL 26 is pretty slow, so maybe the RNG is Not Amused.

And after one more million turns, you will find out you enabled birth_no_artifacts for your character

hehe I did actually check that just to be sure. Yes, I do tend to play a little on the slow side, most of the time.

It doesn't completely hate me though - I found a robe of permanence with rPoison, and a pair of boots of speed +2, so it's not all bad.

...Roughly what would you say were the odds of getting both Kelek's and Wrath of God as drops from perfectly ordinary monsters (a mature MHD and a stone giant respectively) at dungeon level 40/2000'?

(The correct answer, of course, being "actually pretty high, because you're playing a warrior".)

Oh, and this is also the same game where I got a pair of randart boots with +11 speed from Lagduf on dungeon level 5.

Funny. Just a few days ago, i found both these books in the same dungeon level (around 2500') on the floor. First mage book i found, second priest book (had already seen Purifications). At least i was a rogue, so it was worth a bit of experience.

At least a million-to-one... which of course happens all the time. #pratchett #twoflower #rincewind.

Found in Black Market:

a Sling of Buckland (x4) (+10,+12) <+4, +1, +2>
+4 Dexterity.
+1 Shooting speed.
+2 Shooting power.

Tempted to buy just because, but I'm currently a level 35 Ranger with a pretty good artifact bow. Seems a waste to just let it go though.
