Faerie dragon armour

Version 0.21: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

An enchanted suit of armour created from the scales of a rare breed of dragon, now thought to be extinct. This prized relic is now one of the last proofs that the vividly coloured faerie dragons ever existed.

A faerie dragon armour

+X acid dragon scales (ranges from +2 to +7)
rCorr
1d3 random properties

These random properties are selected much like the properties on randart armour, though they are weighted toward being positive, and certain properties have adjusted likelihoods of occurring. The following properties are more likely to appear than average (5% chance of any given property being from this list):

• HP bonus (-10 to +11)
• MP bonus (+1 to +11)
• Clarity

The following properties almost never occur:

• +Rage
• *RAGE
• -CAST
• *TELE
• MUT+
• Int+
• Regen+

Desirability

Found only by killing the Enchantress, a suit of faerie dragon armour's usefulness is entirely dependent on what the RNG decides to generate. As a mundane +6 mottled dragon armour is already a very effective piece of equipment, however, it doesn't take terribly much to make this item worth considering. If you should happen to encounter the Enchantress in a given game, don't overlook this armour until you've actually seen what properties it has to offer. A +7 mottled dragon armour with clarity, rF++, and rElec is nothing to sneeze at.

History

Prior to 0.19, its base type was mottled dragon armour.
