Orbs are a piece of equipment you can carry in your off-hand. Unlike shields, they provide no defensive value, but come with one of several unique egos:
- Energy - Provides two sources of passive channeling
- Guile - Reduces willpower of both the wielder and their targets
- Light - Surrounds the wielder with a 3-tile halo
- Mayhem - May send enemies into a frenzy
- Wrath - Has a 20% of inducing berserk rage when the wielder attacks
Orbs will always spawn with one of the egos listed above. Randart orbs will always spawn with one of these egos.
History
- Prior to 0.30, orbs could not appear as randarts. Also, three unrand orbs were introduced in this version (all formely staff unrands).
- Equippable orbs were added in 0.28.
