 The '''crown of vainglory'''<ref>{{source ref|0.33.0|art-data.txt|1886}}</ref> is an overenchanted hat with a good [[ego]] and 2 extra ring slots. Many characters can greatly benefit from the ring slots - casters can stack [[ring of wizardry|wizardry]]/[[ring of intelligence|intelligence]], heavy melee characters can gain [[strength]]/[[slay]], and any character can appreciate +8 AC, +10 EV, or more resistances. The exact usefulness of this is reliant on the rings that are currently available, though.
-The Majesty property preventing you from leaving a new floor is also a huge liability: going downstairs to find a horde of powerful enemies or a dangerous entry [[vault]] is a common occurrence, and not being able to retreat up can put you in severe danger. This item's [[Fragile (ego)|^Fragile]] makes this almost impossible to circumvent, as trying to unequip it before entering a new floor will destroy the item. A strategy is to use this item as a temporary boon - equip it for one or however many floors, then unequip it before going down to a new floor.

 Stabbers are very likely to find the item undesirable regardless of the rings they have access to - the stealth penalty and loss of access to [[invisibility]] (and thus on-demand partial [[stabbing]]) will usually outweigh whatever upsides the crown may have for these characters.

-The inability to [[stair dance]] is also a huge liability: going downstairs to find a horde of powerful enemies or a dangerous entry [[vault]] is a common occurrence in the [[Dungeon]], and not being able to retreat easily can often result in wasted resources or unfortunate deaths. The item's self-destruction on unequip makes this downside mostly impossible to circumvent — you can't unequip it, go down a [[staircase]], then equip it again, lest you accept you won't able to use it anymore. Its qualities do make it usable as a temporary power boost, though, and competition for the item slot (such as from other [[unrand]] headgear or from [[randart|randarts]] with good [[ego|egos]]) means it's not a bad idea to treat the crown as a temporary boon.
