Desirability
The trident of the Octopus King[1] is a solid early-game weapon, as it carries a decent brand, two useful resistances, and a high enchantment. Unfortunately, its damage output is a little low for the late game, especially considering the amount of poison resistance later on. It might be a decent swap item if you suddenly find yourself in dire need of electricity or poison resistance.
Although it's unlikely to make a major difference, each ring of the Octopus King you wear while wielding this trident increases its enchantment by +2, up to a theoretical (but extraordinarily unlikely) maximum of +24[2].
This artefact is more likely to spawn in the early game, where it is more likely to be useful.
History
