Maxwell's patent armour[1] is great for melee Formicids... for other characters, it means losing the ability to blink or teleport, two of the strongest escape options in the game. Other than -Tele, it's a very strong armour, with high enchantment, the ever-useful willpower, and 2 rare resistances. For non-Formicids, it can see merit if you have great god abilities to get you out of trouble, such as Zin's Sanctuary.
As an artefact with -Tele, it can see use in Zot:5. Getting teleported into the Orb chamber is one of the most dangerous things that can happen in Zot:5, and -Tele prevents just that. Also, it prevents dispersal traps from blinking you, which is a nice bonus. Remember to remove -Tele before picking up the Orb, though. (It can also be used in other branch ends, such as Elf:3, if so desired. Use this armour for exploring everything outside the end vault, then switch when tackling the vault.)

- Prior to 0.15, Maxwell's patent armour offered the preservation ego instead of fire and cold resistance.
