I had a really early (D10) trove the other day. Wanted 6 haste potions, I believe, which I had by midway through lair. Had a bunch of evocables (wands and rechargeables) and an evo manual.
Cool theme, led me to push into evo immediately, and while I thought at the time that the likeliest outcome was me feeling foolish about a splat I went on to win (BaHs^Hep, first Hs win).
I thought this one was a pretty good deal: cost was 4 scrolls of fog, which was fine with me because I never know how to use them properly. It was Desolation of Salt-themed so I couldn’t view everyting at once/ grab a screenshot. The trove contained:
the ring of Hasoraor {rPois Str +3 SH+5}
the amulet of Byagob {Reflect +Blink rC+ Str+3 SH+5}
Fog is great when a teleport drops you somewhere bad or you otherwise need to get some relief from ranged/smiting monsters. It does other things but is good cover for trying your luck with another teleport escape or just repositioning.
I didn’t check the books before picking them up, so all the listed spells were new for that character.
Overall quite a good trove, at an even better price.
Slimy rune is probably my favourite entry fee. It doesn’t take anything from you, and practically any character can get the rune. In addition, it encourages you to do Slime and get the loot from there as well.
In this case, the two useful manuals alone would’ve made me happy.
Fee: 2 scrolls of acquirement. Always a risk. Playing a DsEn of Nemelex.
a scroll of amnesia
a +4 ring of protection
883 gold pieces
a +1 rapier of protection
2 potions of lignification
the ring of Bavuak Teps {Ice rElec rPois Str-2 Stlth+}
the +1 helmet "Leuryl" {Str+6 Stlth-}
4 stones
the +0 helmet of the Grape {Fly rF- rCorr Stlth+}
a ring of Plog {Wiz *Slow rF+++ Str+7 Dex-2}
the amulet "Rymiu" {Reflect Harm SH+5}
a wand of flame (12)
2 curare-tipped darts
a Trismegistus Codex (Ignite Poison)
Unfortunately, gold is the only useful thing here. The amnesia scroll maybe as well. A huge disappointment.
