the +9 scales of the Dragon King
Desirability
The scales of the Dragon King are +9 gold dragon scales with +50 MR. While you can get better AC by fully enchanting mundane gold dragon scales, this armour's MR bonus helps makes up for this, and finding the requisite scrolls of enchant armour to actually create a set with superior AC is a substantial and time-consuming investment. Any character that doesn't care much about EV or spellcasting, or is subject to considerable armour limitations (e.g. ogres and trolls), will find this armour incredibly useful.
History
- Prior to 0.19, this item was called the armour of the Dragon King.
