Scales of the Dragon King
Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
| A suit of armour created from the enchanted scales of a once-mighty king of dragons. In his time, titans and lesser dragons struggled with him in vain — but as with all things, even he was eventually cast down and undone. Of his life and deeds, this is all that remains. |
the +9 scales of the Dragon King
Desirability
The scales of the Dragon King[1] are +9 gold dragon scales with an extra helping of willpower. While you can get better AC by fully enchanting mundane gold dragon scales, this armour's will bonus helps makes up for this. It also saves finding the requisite scrolls of enchant armour to enchant gold dragon scales anyway, which could be used for other items like a shield. 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.
