ignoring lights
i was thinking, what if you have a randart set with randart torches, and you set your game to ignore torches .. that means the artifact would not be visible, right? generally, when i find a lantern, i immediately set my torches to squelch. but, that means i'll never see any artifact torch, unless i walk over it, or not even that ?

That's right--unless you can squelch all except artifact.

i'm sorry, something is not right here.
if i ignore "every cloak except artifacts" then i still see cloaks; once i walk over them, if they are not an artifact, they disappear. if i ignore "every torch except artifacts", ALL the torches disappear.

Looking at the code, artifact torches should not ever be ignored - even if you set torches to be ignored in the main ignore list. Have you ever come across a case where they are?

well, i can't tell, can i ?
it just seems weird that, with artifact lights being the most common, and almost every set of randarts generating a torch or lantern randart, i never seem to find any after the ignore is set on. im gonna do a quick testing.

To add my own anecdote to Sky's, I've never found an artifact torch, and I've only found one artifact lantern, in many games since they were added.

All right, bug found - and it's not at all as expected. There was an error in choosing the kinds for objects to base randarts on which meant the first of any type never got chosen, namely:
Well done all, glad to find that one ![]()

I was previously off by one in the other direction - so no Arkenstones, etc
