Desirability

The scales of the Dragon King[1] are +9 gold dragon scales with an extra helping of willpower. Any character that doesn't care much about encumbrance will greatly appreciate this armour. While you can get better AC by enchanting a mundane set of GDS, using this artefact saves scrolls of enchant armour for other purposes. The willpower helps, too.
