[YACD][V] mage again
Matthew Vernon
Well, I've been diving (by my standards!), and have again hit
inventory limit (and an unwillingness to abandon artifacts!). Should
Carlammas replace my regen amulet? I find regen quite routinely
useful, and I'm not sure +2 CON is worth writing home about. I'd be
inclined to sell most of the bottom of my invetory (except the seeker
bolts), and Galadriel, Isildur, the robe of elvenkind, the leather
scale mail, and Thengel.
Thanks for the ongoing help :-)

you get some speed and 550 HP. Trickery gets you to +7, which may be
enough; and +4 CON may get you to 550HP.

With blindness/confusion/sound covered, you only really need these for
HP recovery. Pretty soon, you may want to stick to carrying Healing

Leave in home, but you'll likely never wear; odds are CON, Speed, or
Elven rings will be more useful throughout.

Dump ... +2 CON from an amulet is sometimes useful, but I don't think
it will be here.

Wear this. +3 speed alone is probably worth it alone at this point,
freeing up a ring for +4 CON is more valuable that Carlammas will ever
be as well.

Sell this, of course.

A likely candidate to get rid off ... not really better than an amulet

I would wear this instead of the agility gloves if you swap your other
Free Action sources; +4 dex isn't that important. Cambeleg/Fingolfin
would solve your handwear issues nicely.

CON is a big deal, even 2 points of it.
One thing to consider is how often you need all 300 SP. Could you get by with
225? That depends upon your playstyle. You could get regen from Paurhach.
If you run out of mana, you can read a scroll or two to reset.
If you run out of hp ...

That would let you wear a con ring instead of =rPoison.

+4 is better than +2.

You'll never use it, and if somehow you want it, you will find another.

IMO one artifact light is enough. Choose one and toss the rest.

The body armor slot is too valuable for just rNether.

Others beat that.

Not uncommonly, actually. I never manage to hang on to a stockpile of
!restoremana, especially when faced with uniques.
Thanks for your comments :)
