I think more artifacts are needed. But ones that are useful to anyone despite what weapon or whatever they specialise in. Like food for example?

Quickling fruit
When consumed gives +20 Speed and +2 Dexterity.
Found in the quickling tree.

Ancient brew
If consumed gives the equivelent of two uncursed PoGA 2 Learning and gives 4 random spells.
Gained from the old crone.

Golden Apple
Removes 40% of your curruption. Removes all unnatural aging.
Gained from the druid by doing some risky quest.

Tell me more ideas!

How about...
Phoenix Wand
Infinite charges
When zapped, fires a random spell

If you chat with some random wizard-type creature
(Dark sage etc.) that is non-hostile, you would get pretty dangerous quest and Phoenix Wand as reward. Could be interesting to zap it towards Andor Drakon and cast Bless or Cure Critical Wounds on him :)

Kayaman: Oh stop it ! Even avoiding harming cats is troublesome enough. If one had to also had to avoid harming dogs (jackals ? Wolves ?) it would be quite ridiculous. What next ?

Girdle of the Rat Lord ?
Boots of Kobold god ?
etc.

<ring>
Angelic Band [-5,-15](-5, -5) {-5 St} {+5 Ch} {+5 Ap} (+2 Wi) -50% corruption, draws character toward alignment of law.

The game is already imbalanced because of the superpowerful artifacts (Vanguisher for example). I think that some artifacts should go be erased from the game.

Yes Runemaster, you apolagised for that already.
But anyway, I agree with you to a certain extent, it does unbalance the game and bring too much of the element of luck (will I get the Vanquisher this game or not??), but to erase all of them would make the game less interesting!

good pts all around.

how about this one (serious suggestion):

Spear of the King's Hunt [+4,+0] (3d8+10) {+3 DEX} {+2 ST} (+15 speed)
*spear (duh)
*25% chance of scoreing instakills on all animals
*kills always leave blessed corpses

or this one (not serious suggestion, but something i'd love to have none-the-less):

Shard of the Creator's Beltknife [+20,+5] (12d12+50) {+20 all attributes} (+200 speed)
*twohanded sword
*90% chance of scoreing instakills on any creature
*grants all good intrins.(permanantly) xcept invis
*draws char's allignment towards N= (IMO the Creator isn't L+ is he?)
*forgives all cat kills perm.
*prevents char from developing any neg. intrinsics (incl. confusion, stun, blind, etc.)
*prevents satiation loss
*constantly increases piety level (basicly like sacing 100 gold to your god per turn)

now wouldn't that be one mighty sword? just imagine what the Creator's Broadsword would be like...

Would you like your next char. to start with the Creator's Broadsword?? =-)

Some items could give you basic information about some spells. for example these:

Cap of apperentice wizard [+0, +1] {+5Ma}

*Learn to use all bolts (except death ray)
*25% chance to dodge spells

Cap of master wizard [+2, +2] {+10Ma}

*Learn all "ball" spells
*35% chance to dodge spells

that'd be kinda hard to work... how abt this: those are the same, but the App. Wiz cap gives +300 to all bolts, but they don't regen (unless you dip the cap in a PoRM or some such); same w/ Cap of the Master Wiz. only you get 400 castings.

Great, all I'd have to do is find the cap, put it on and learn all the spells then put my other better helmet on. Free spells are always a good thing!

Wand of shop creation (10 charges)
* Destroys anything that is in it's way of construction
* If it's blessed in creates a casino shop
* If it's uncursed it creates a normal shop
* If it's cursed then you create a shop that thinks you've just robbed it.

Wouldn't it be funny if you destroyed the chaos gate or Andor Drakon just by creating a food shop it's place. =)

I like the first three artifacts Sengoku mentioned - but I'd change the Golden apple to the SILVER APPLE.

SILVER APPLES by BABYLON WHORES:

The earth becomes gold / And gold earth / A promise inhaled / With the breath of our birth / We chase the dragon / Trip the lights / Burning our eyes / On marvelous sights

We are there (once awake) / Once asleep (never more) / Can we open the door

And in the end / We kiss the ones / Sleeping next to us / With the lips of a snake / Heart full of Hell / Fearing that they would wake / So fragile they could break

The silver apples of our truth / Green and gold of bygone youth / Haunting us each day to / Return anew / And day by day the thing inside / Grows and devours us alive / Just as sure as we will die / Just as sure as we will die


You make my life and times

Hmmm, so in short what these "Silver" apples do? I gathered that they grant sleep resistance - then it makes you die???

No only joking, very good poem but I don't really understand it but then that's what makes it very good I guess.

How about the
Warhammer of the Dwarven Kindrel <useless stats>
useless, but when you smith with it, you don't need an ingot, and your weapon will improve instantly.

the only good suggestion is dwarven kindrel...

"Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will anger the cat lord"

Some weapon artifact that half of its damage would by-pass armor and another half would work normally. Would be nice, for killing armored mice:)

magic lamp. 'U'sing it results in a djinni that gives you three wishes instead of one. It could be a reward for an extremely difficult quest.

Stop!Stop!
ADOM has enough artifacts as it is.Has anyone here even seen all the artifacts.
The dwarven kindrel would be a nice addition though.
The lamp's not too bad either but it would be too powerful unless its really difficult to get

Can anyone tell me what happened to silver key?
Have found that one in a long time.

Artificer's Hammer (3d6+3 damage)
allows you to improve items by adding a random pre-/suffix to the item. given by doing some very hard quest for the weaponsmith in dwarftown.
