For boots there is standart Feanor which beats that any day. Any other armor-part of the equipment list + amulet and "it's broken".

Here's a few choice artifacts from a recent character:

Code:

the Long Bow of Istarinam (x5) (+12,+14) <+2>

---------------------------------------------

+2 strength, shooting speed, shooting power.

+10% to searching.

Provides resistance to acid, fire, disenchantment.

Provides protection from fear.

Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.

Feather Falling.  Grants the ability to see invisible things.



When aimed, it creates a frost ball with damage 50.

Takes 65 to 72 turns to recharge.





Min Level 56, Max Level 127, Generation chance 1, Power 359, 4.0 lbs

Based on Eönwë.

Never found that one. Somewhat low plusses, but +2 shots and +2 power...

Code:

the Red Dragon Scale Mail of Aiqueth (-2,+5) [24,+29] <+4, +1>

--------------------------------------------------------------

+4 strength, constitution, stealth, infravision, tunneling.

Provides resistance to acid, lightning, fire, cold, poison, light, dark, sound,

shards, chaos, disenchantment.

Provides protection from fear, blindness, confusion.

Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.

Sustains strength.

Slows your metabolism.  Prevents paralysis.  Sustains your life force.

Radius 1 light.



When activated, it brands bolts with fire, in an unbalanced fashion.

Takes 205 to 325 turns to recharge.





Min Level 100, Max Level 127, Generation chance 1, Power 792, 14.4 lbs

Based on Bladeturner.

Never found this either. Loads of resists, p* (except pStun), etc. and a little bit of extra damage.

Code:

the Set of Gauntlets of Glachirme [3,+21] <+4, +1>

--------------------------------------------------

+4 strength, intelligence, infravision.

Provides immunity to fire, cold.

Provides resistance to lightning, sound, nexus.

Provides protection from fear.

Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.

Sustains intelligence, wisdom.

Slows your metabolism.  Prevents paralysis.

Radius 1 light.



When activated, it confuses all non-unique creatures within line of sight.

Takes 82 to 100 turns to recharge.





Min Level 56, Max Level 127, Generation chance 12, Power 356, 2.5 lbs

Based on Gondricam.

Way better than Gondricam, IMO. Two immunities in a glove slot can be very handy, even though ImmFire was actually covered by an über-ring in my equipment setup (see below).

Code:

the Ring of Power 'Elkornur' [+1] <+3, +1>

------------------------------------------

+3 strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution, stealth, speed.

Provides immunity to fire.

Provides resistance to acid, cold, light, dark, nether.

Provides protection from fear, blindness, confusion, stunning.

Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.

Sustains dexterity.

Slows your metabolism.  Feather Falling.  Speeds regeneration.  Prevents

paralysis.  Sustains your life force.  Grants the ability to see invisible

things.

Radius 1 light.



When activated, it attempts to magically enhance a piece of armour with high

chance of success.  Also gives a chance to break a curse.

Takes 123 to 165 turns to recharge.





Min Level 99, Max Level 127, Generation chance 1, Power 658, 0.2 lbs

Based on Vilya.

Quite amazing ring -- stats, p* (including pStun). The only thing missing is ESP and I guess it could theoretically have had a slightly higher PVAL.

While randomized Bladeturner and Deathwreaker can turn into insane things, they have this issue of resisting actually getting found in game.
I have come to prefer the smaller jewels, like for example this sweety that instantly made my struggling paladins life easy:

Code:

the Full Plate Armour of Ndilos (-3) [62,+9] <+9>

-------------------------------------------------

+9 stealth, speed.

Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.





Min Level 60, Max Level 127, Generation chance 20, Power 393, 36.0 lbs

Based on Celeborn.

Body Armor of Speed is always welcome, and getting about 8 times more stealthy is a pleasant side-bonus. It'll make covering resists a bit trickier though.

Code:

the Pair of Leather Boots of Varad [2,+18] <+7>

     

     +7 constitution, speed.

     Provides resistance to fire.

     Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.

     

     When activated, it restores your experience.

Are you playing a variant? I've never seen such data...

It is Vanilla with the birth option "randomize some of the artifacts" turned on. You can print out the artifact file at death/retirement (and keep the same artifacts for your next character with another birth option if you so desire).

Not a bad drop from Wormie at way past his natural depth:

Code:

the Cloak of Nilad [1,+16] <+3>

     Dropped by Wormtongue, Agent of Saruman at 2550 feet (level 51).

     

     +3 strength, wisdom, speed.

     Provides resistance to acid, nether, disenchantment.

     Provides protection from confusion.

     Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.

     Grants telepathy.  

     

     When activated, it teleports you five levels down.

     Takes 341 to 459 turns to recharge at your current speed.

     Your chance of success is 91.4%

I've never seen Deep Descent on a randart before. Neat!

Sometimes great randarts are entirely situational. I'm currently trying to shovel my way to victory for about the hundredth time (only harming anyone with the standard shovel bought from the shop). These gloves are great...

Code:

u) the Set of Gauntlets of Valindil [3,+9]

     Found lying on the floor of a special room at 3950 feet (level

     79).

     

     Provides resistance to acid, lightning, fire, cold, poison, light,

     dark, sound, chaos.

     Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.

     Sustains wisdom.

     Prevents paralysis.  

     

     When activated, it heals 500 hit points, heals cut damage, and

     cures stunning.

     Takes 228 to 280 turns to recharge at your current speed.

     Your chance of success is 89.9%

But for this character, these gloves are amazing...

Code:

k) the Set of Leather Gloves of Varverog [1,+20] <+2>

     Dropped by Hoarmurath of Dir at 3700 feet (level 74).

     

     +2 attack speed.

     +10% to searching.

     Provides resistance to lightning, cold, shards.

     Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.

     Sustains dexterity.

     Prevents paralysis.  Sustains your life force.  

     

     When activated, it magically renders you well-fed, curing any

     gastrointestinal problems.

     Takes 114 to 126 turns to recharge at your current speed.

     Your chance of success is 87.9%
