"mixed blessing" items and speed question

[GreyWolf]

I have recently started playing again and I am fascinated by some of the "mixed blessing" items. Many (ring of open wounds, etc) seem fairly useless but one Im finding pretty often early on is Ring of Teleportation. The +2 speed early on is great, not a full turn but I can get in the occasional extra movement spot or extra blow. Also the random teleport can be pretty useful for getting around the dungeon, as long as I remember to take the ring off when im resting or want to stay somewhere!

On a related note any other sources of speed boost I should look for pre dungeon level 50? i don't have haste self yet and speed potions in the shops are rare.

Found my favorite angband tagline of late: "It points at you, screaming the word DIE! You resist the effects!"
