wow thanks for the info. i am crowned now and i have a really kool artifact weapon (some rune covered club thing) which has rendered me invincable so far :) and i also got a second blessed amulet of law ok next question: last time i played i got a artifact pickaxe from the dwarf dungeon which never broke and was really fast at mining (it was called hammerhead or something) i never found it this time round and i was wondering if there was any way for me to get a new one for my current character |

All artifact are generated randomly. They come witout guarantee (maybe all but one). My RL dumpyard: http://www.geocities.com/ceruleannebula/index.html |

Hammerhead is randomly generated (although I think dwarves may have a better chance of acquiring it via pre-/post-crowning than other races). |

Why hammerhead? Is it so diffiicult to fix your pickaxes? All it's other aspects except infinite digging suck. Ubi patria ibi bene! [Edited 1 time, last edit on 9/13/2005 at 16:05 (GMT -5) by Nchurmdaz] |

Dude, I'd take any artifact that crossed my path. even if it doesn't assist. you could get a reasonable ammount of gold. or assist with piety You die... |

It's a little harsh to say that hammerhead sucks! It's a single-handed weapon with decent damage, minor toughness bonus, and resistance to fire + stunning. Obviously not in the same league as TotRR, but certainly nowhere near as bad as half a dozen other artifacts I can think of! (Tome of Alsophocolus anyone?) |

The tome of Alsophocolus isn't that bad but used at times, like when a PC needs to get some corruptions (or wants to) |

You can get unlimited ore from it - and therefore unlimited smithing. Which is good. (Unlimited because you can always dig out ID level 1 again and again, if you somehow needed more after digging out say Ogre cave) With gemology you also get unlimited gems with Hammer. And that is pretty decent too (Krystals of knowledge, crystals of power/health, or just to sell them) If you get it as a first low-level precrown it should be a decent enough weapon to keep you alive till you get better. Read a "scroll of greater identify" on the club and you should learn more about it. And "humanoid" is a broad term...(Satan himself would be considered humanoid, I think) [Edited 1 time, last edit on 9/15/2005 at 04:48 (GMT -5) by Molach] |

(Satan himself would be considered humanoid, I think) Yeah, he is as much as a badass as our UlTiMaTe ChAoS GoD, so he should be the same... humanoid. My RL dumpyard: http://www.geocities.com/ceruleannebula/index.html |

Nate himself stated "before I got better artifact weapon". I told that all other statistics *except* infinite digging suck. It is a good artifact *pickaxe*. Do you often fight with a common pickaxe? Morio, you state that it is 'best for weaponsmiths'. So what? It's absolutely useless for monks on the other hand. Molach, I'd prefer getting 'Purifier' as a precrowning gift. Or even 'Grod' :D Ubi patria ibi bene! |

Agreed, few use common pickaxes. Many people fight with axes; and this is the weapon skill increased with pickaxes, isn't it? (I'm not quite sure, could also be maces) Anyway, what's the point of this discussion? You can't wish for random artifacts anyway, right? So, if you find one, or receive one per crowning, use it or not use it, you don't have any influence on which random artifacts you get in a game; only (sort of) how many, right? We *all* want to get the Artifact of Artifacts (I dunno, Vanquisher or Sun's Messenger or whatever your r/c-combo makes you yearn for). We also all have to stick with the ones we get. And even though I have played vor three years now, I'm still excited about *every* random artifact I find :D You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction? (123456789) 4 Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated. You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd! |

There's a suggestion somewere, that in order to get more vaults during play (and they are likely to contain artifacts) one should be cursed and/or doomed. That is, crown of science gains a new and exciting usage... Ubi patria ibi bene! |

|
Nate Registered user Last page view: 6793 days, 19 hours, 13 minutes and 49 seconds ago. |
I wear the crown of science anyway, dont worry about the negative effects of dooming when you hear all the time about positive effects of dooming like extra wilderness fights and stuff (also the + 9 learning and immunity to fire are pretty kool) |

AFAIR, the number of vaults is pre-generated upon char creation. What's inside is unknown, though. My RL dumpyard: http://www.geocities.com/ceruleannebula/index.html |

Nchurmdaz Registered user Goblin flash mobber Last page view: 5994 days, 18 hours, 4 minutes and 56 seconds ago. |
If this number was displayable at startup, I'd scum for max value :) I like vaults! Especially mixed ones - it's so exciting to see a bunch of Balors with a lvl 20 char :D Ubi patria ibi bene! |

You don't need a lot of vaults to see a bunch of balors with a level 15 char. It happened recently to one of mine after feeling threatened in the dwarven halls... The Great Wyrm of Order breathes light (more) - wow, you feel very smart! |

DH is another topic - it is quite possible to get there by level 10-12, and see almost anything. I'm talking about casual levels. Ubi patria ibi bene! |
