Desirability

Faerie dragon scales[1] are a randomised artefact found only by killing the Enchantress. Its usefulness is entirely dependent on what the RNG decides to generate.

Don't overlook this armour until you've actually seen its properties. A set of +8 acid dragon scales with rF++, rElec, and Dex+10 is nothing to sneeze at. At the same time, heavy melee brutes will probably find this armour too light to wear.

History

  • In 0.34, the scales will be buffed: the enchantment will be +2 - +8 instead of 0 - +8, the HP/MP bonuses will be bigger and appear more often. Also, it will have a 10% chance to spawn with evokable Invisibility and will always provide a Hexes enhancer.
  • Prior to 0.19, faerie dragon scales were called faerie dragon armour and the item's base type was mottled dragon armour. Also, the HP bonus was -10 to +10 instead of -5 to +10.
