Just wondering, which equipment type is, in your opinion, the worst? I'm thinking that if I'm going to use the anvil of Krong at all, I should probably use it exclusively on the first piece of equipment in a category I find, and I should probably pick a type that won't have high-scaling alternatives late-game. What do you guys think?
I'm on the pants band wagon. But if you do all your damage by melee, you'll probably want a kilt from floor 4. In that case, I'd imbue Gloves instead, as you probably won't get a noteworthy upgrade till floor 10 or so (unless you mostly use thrown weapons, then the upgrade hits around floor 7). Third choice would be Amulet, but for that wait till you get the Cybertronic Amulet which is hard coded to show up on floor 3 most games, and probably won't be replaced until about floor 10.
Pants or Belt. You really don't need the heavy armor belt if you already have heavy armor pants, helmet and torso stuff. Good shoes spawn so rarely that you might think about Kronging them, if you don't have either of the first two (I killed Dredmor in a pair of seriously magicked clogs once.) Unless your heart is set on those pointy black velvet boots.
I found some cutoff that are +2 to dodge. I like the pun, but it would be funnier if it were jock strap.
That was the premise I was going on. Pants, still pants. As for sleeves, crappy items... but probably because I don't get the joke/reference(s).
Nope. Nowhere in this thread it's written that the type of equipment we point has to have a slot. And thus, some decided to have fun...
Amulets. Easily. Time Lord's Scarf and Cybertronic Amulet are pretty much the only unenchanted amulets worth getting, from what I've seen.
Time Lord's Scarf is not unenchanted. There are only 4 "unenchanted" amulets at the moment, and they're Ankh, Cybertronic, Spiked Collar, and Steel Plate Gorget Everything else, including the Time Lord's Scarf, will spawn with random stats; it's just that the Time Lord's Scarf also has a hardcoded stat buff (the 10 and 1 ) to go with the ilevel 15 and floor-based random stats. So yeah....pants, gloves, or belt would be my call - you do realize Krong is gonna love you like Ike loved Tina, right?
