Ulfang and Ulfast (or whatever they are called) always come together. Nothing strange in it.
Also, the order of the bonuses is (accuracy, damage). You were told (or remembered) wrong.--
Dive fast, die young, leave a high-CHA corpse.Comment

There's a new one - emperor wight. Steering clear.
Two more uniques, Sangayahando and Angamaite, but running out of arrows.Comment

Why is a damage ring showing no more damage from arrows? Is that only melee?Comment

I got a second scroll of acquirement. When are those good to use?Comment

Found a rod of recall. Wonder if it's safe to take that instead of scrolls. If it gets destroyed...Comment

Some people save them to read deep, but I think conventional wisdom is to read ?Acquirement immediately. You can hope for something that will improve your @ right now, rather than risk the scroll being burned up, producing something deeper that is useless because by then @ has found so much great stuff, or, worst of all, scroll being worthless because @ has died and always wondering, "if I'd just read that acquirement scroll earlier, maybe I'd have gotten lucky."“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school.

Rod of Recall is a special rod, it is immune to fire and electrical damage, i.e., it can't be destroyed. However, like anything in @'s pack, it can be stolen until @ DEX is high enough to prevent stealing, so be careful around other thieves. Getting stranded deep in the dungeon because your rogue's rod of recall was stolen would be kind of poetic though.

Scrolls of Acquirement will drop good treasure native to your depth (plus the usual dice rolls) so i figure it's better to read at DL20 rather than DL19 (and so on - the "native to" list tends to go in -5 and -10 increments). If you hold on to them too long, they become useless, so unless you got lucky and found one on DL5 or so, read them right away, assuming you already are deep enough to get artifact drops.

It is A GOOD IDEA to carry 2-3 rods of recall, in case A) you accidentally zap yours unintentionally but want to stay on the level, or B) you recall to the dungeon and find yourself immediately in a certain-death situation."i can take this dracolich"Comment

I tend to read them straight away but usually it's because I have a full pack. I'd say if you lack Free Action or Rpois read it. Getting them will count more then a better item laterComment

Never read acquirement in town. Otherwise, any time after dl 20 is OK. And no: damage bonus on other equipment does not apply to bows.Comment
