rec.games.roguelike.angband looking glass
As of March 31 2008, my ISP's USENET feed provider ceased to exist (buyout by another company). Since that date, I no longer have any access to the USENET. Therefore, I am forced to discontinue r.g.r.a frontend on Angband.oook.cz website.
If anyone is in the position to arrange for a non-binary, free of charge feed, I would be very glad.

+3 Con would be nice, but +10 to speed is even nicer especially that he

Ringil, it is Caspanion. For late game where speed is needed Ringil is
very good, but for stat-gain char Caspanion is better.

Can he use Ringil depends how good HP he has now. If he needs +3 to CON
in order to get above instant death then he needs Hammerhand or Balli.
Maybe both. But with Ringil waiting and Caspanion in arsenal he can now
just search for good RoCON and use Ringil slightly later.

From what I have seen Combination is: Ringil, Caspanion, some shield,
Colannon, Crown of Magi, Cammithrim and whatever there is for boots.
If that magi is +3 then you have both ringslots free for RoCON.
Caspanion + Magi is +4 - +6 to int.
