making patterns where there should be none

you spit in the face of random numbers, of chaos
Best item found near the start of the game?

Wow. TWO scrolls of charging, 1 SOCM, 1 wand of mirroring, 1 thunder hammer, a horn of bravery, and a dragon hide cloak of fire resistance. All in UT 2.
And a meteoric steel chain mail, boots of agility, gauntlets of strength (neither pair was broken), and a pre-enchanted nymph hair whip +2
To top it all off, in UT3 I ran into a Bones file. Not the best items, but there was another scroll of charging.

Start playing loteries or go to casino Capri, just hurry up while it still works

Noooooo!!! The same character was up to 35 Dex without any training, had dual whips of thievery +12, still had 2 scrolls of charging and a wand of cloning with 3 charges. Was kicking ass but only had 54 HP and died instantly from a hattifattener's lightning bolt
And he's in UT2, there's no way I'll ever come across his bones.

Feb 9, 2011, 11:27 pm
Did he, in fact, leave a bones?
Feb 10, 2011, 9:05 am
UT1 is the no-bones zone, not UT2. I've had a fair number of UT2 bones levels in my game, so have no fear about not getting access to the stuff again!
Feb 10, 2011, 11:34 am
Well, if I ever did come across his Bones, there's no way I'd be powerful enough that early in the game to kill his ghost.
Feb 10, 2011, 1:04 pm
Wands of lightning, perhaps? Or wands of striking/polymorph (on you, not the ghost).

I can't remember where the worst item list is, but this fella was carrying a very unfortunate weapon:

It's the crazy finds thread. It was originally meant to be for both the best and worst, but perhaps I should just rename it since we have this for best items and nobody can find the other one.
Oct 28, 2011, 5:54 am
So where do I find the severed groin of a mistress whip champion?
Oct 28, 2011, 6:28 am
=D I think only zombies can drop groins, unfortunately.
Oct 28, 2011, 7:17 am
Yes I believe so. Something to do with their body parts rotting if memory serves.
Oct 28, 2011, 9:57 am
Nice find. I've been trying to make that happen for years.

I've found ommel bone plate mail and two-handed scimitar.
Aug 4, 2015, 8:09 am
Be careful with that ommel bone plate mail though. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is..
SPOILER ALERT. Click here to see text.

in this case because the bone will eventually rot, probably at an inconvenient time

also it will boost the danger level of the enemies you encounter, which combined with your totally innacurate weapon will probably speed your demise. find a friend who likes to eat bones and give the armor to them.

Casually entering UT4 while polymorphed into an orc, when I find this:
(Note: I had a wand of cloning and needless to say, cloned this beauty.)

While generating characters to see if bones ghosts look okay, found an arcanite chain mail and a pair of broken mithril boots of kicking in UT2.

Scroll of wishing in a room with Atavus's altar in UT2
I may have squandered it on a whip of thievery. Also found an oil lamp on UT3 but didn't get a chance to try it
Unfortunately Genetrix broke my whip of thievery. That was the only weapon in my inventory. I was then surrounded by the blue carnivorous plants with nothing to fight with (and no Loricatus to pray to). I was able to pull a scroll of teleportation out of my inventory and read it, but then took the wrong path back to the UT2 staircase. I turned around to take the correct path but got surrounded again and killed

I found an Atavus altar with a scroll of wishing in UT2 (or maybe 3) today, too! I'm saving it for later. Will probably use it for a socm or wand of cloning, but I have mirroring already.

Uhhh holy crap. I'll be so mad if this character dies. All in UT1!!

Damn, that's some luck! Now all you have to do is not blow it. Careful with that grenade.

Went really well at first. I also found a can of ommel cerumen and a bottle of ommel urine and after cloning got up to ~25 arm and leg strength, 30 int. I challenged Richel Decos and stupidly didn't have a wand of teleportation out... could've beat him too
And at that point I had another wand of cloning, scroll of charging, multiple socm.. ouch.

Jan 31, 9:01 pm
Wait what? You're telling me you lost that awesome starting char to Richel Decos?
Jan 31, 9:14 pm
Yeah this one hurts. I had:
- permanent telecontrol
- amulet of magic breath
- helmet of brilliance, telepathy
- belt of levitation
- ring of invisibility
- ring of magic resistance
- cloak of fire resistance
- lyre of charm, horn of fear, magic whistle
- Mjolak
- Astr & LStr 25+
- Int 30
- Charisma 25
- Perception 28
- low agility but leg strength was so high, I was not burdened and was planning to train it
- 1 wand of cloning, 1 scroll of charging, 3 socm, 4 sohm, several wand of polymorph
- can of floating eye flesh - planned to clone
I had been playing much more patiently for once and avoided some narrow misses. There was an early kobold with dwarven steel plate armor and he nearly killed me because I couldn't hurt him (at that point Mjolak wasn't repaired yet), fortunately a wand of striking took him out.
And I could've so easily beaten Richel Decos, but I got greedy. The other issue was I never found any good boots, and one of them was destroyed by dark frog blood so I challenged him with an unprotected leg
