the +9 armour of the Dragon King
Desirability
The armour of the Dragon King is a +9 gold dragon armour with +50 MR. While you can get better AC by fully enchanting a mundane gold dragon armour, this armour's MR bonus helps makes up for this, and finding the requisite scrolls of enchant armour to actually create a superior AC suit is substantial and time-consuming investment. Any character that doesn't care much about EV or spellcasting, or is subject to considerable armour limitations (e.g. ogres and trolls), will find this armour incredibly useful.
History
- Prior to 0.16, this armour's flavor stated: "A long time ago, a mighty golden dragon seized the rulership of all dragons in his part of the world. Yet his reign didn't last long, stopped by a single puny human who then made this armour from the dragon's hide."
- This armour's encumbrance rating (along with all gold dragon armour in general) has eased from -27 (prior to 0.14), and -25 (prior to 0.16), to its present rating of -23.
