I guess that's about as far as RNG can go in creating ultimate weapon. Combined with +3 blows Palantir it's just plain scary.

That is astoundingly good - Bladeturner-derived for sure. Which version are you playing? In the newer nightlies it should have had quite a power increment from all those slays, which makes it a little surprising that there was still enough power for two immunities ...

Pre-r2000, so latest restrictions don't apply. I've started this game almost two month ago and didn't want to change Angband binaries in the middle of it.

Ah, good. I'm pretty confident that such a gross weapon would not occur now then!

Would not occur at all, or the probability is vastly lower?

I doubt that it could occur at all now, because that combination of powers should have such a high rating that it can't be generated from any standart, even Bladeturner.

I found a new randart, it's not awesome due to its stats, but its overwhelming calculated artifact power. I was going through the generated artifact.spo for a while, and checking out the artifacts above 250-300 power. Of course there are the big ones like Grond and MICOM with powers over 10,000, and The One Ring at 50k some.

There was one artifact however, with a power of 4294967205... it was supremely terrible. (I'll post the stats when I'm on my laptop.)

(I know the actual power is -91, I'm assuming it's being cast as an unsigned int )

Yep, that's a %u in the print line which should be a %d. Will fix this.

Not a huge deal, unless someone wanted to make a parser or something.

I did find a great randart though, +9 speed boots with telepathy. Absolutely amazing since it allowed for major equipment reshuffles

Very nice - telepathy is rare on boots.

Now that's a pretty nice hat...

The Hard Leather Cap of Glithor [2,+21] (+2)
(dropped by a Paladin at 1700 feet (level 34))

+2 wisdom, charisma.
Provides resistance to poison.
Cannot be harmed by acid, electricity, fire, cold.
Sustains charisma.
Sustains your life force.  Grants telepathy.  Grants the ability to see invisible things.  

When activated, it hastens you for d75+75 turns.
Takes 182 to 338 turns to recharge.
Your chance of success is 87.0%

Obviously, it's the sustain charisma that I anticipate being most useful to my half-troll warrior.
