(Yes, not getting shafted is very nice. But shafts aren't as bad these days, and I wouldn't say avoiding shafts automatically makes these the best boots ever) |
(→Desirability: there are only 3 traps. also good randart boots are already fairly rare, and there's only 1 other unrand) |

| These sturdy boots were created by an artificer who lived high up on a remote mountain peak, as protection against the mountain's near-constant avalanches, rockslides, and snowstorms. No force short of translocations magic will budge the wearer from their position. |
The +3 mountain boots
+3 boots
rC+
Immunity to shafts and involuntary movement (such as trample, Wind Blast, or Harpoon Shot).
No effect on translocations (e.g. dispersal, banishment).
Desirability
Even as just +3 boots with rC+, the mountain boots[1] provide more protection than any non-artefact boots. They also render the wearer immune to shafts, one of the deadliest effects that you might encounter. The ability to stair dance around trampling enemies like elephants or rockslimes is a welcome bonus. A great pair of randart boots might be better (especially in places where you can't be shafted), but these boots are still great where disrupting enemies are common.
History
- The mountain boots were introduced in 0.29.
