A sphere of crystal, carried in place of a shield. Magic scintillates within its interior.

Orbs are a piece of equipment you can carry in your off-hand. Unlike shields, they provide no defensive value, but come with one of several unique egos:

  • Energy - Refunds MP on 20% of successful casts, and 100% of miscasts, but increases miscast rate.
  • Guile - Reduces willpower of both the wielder and their targets
  • Light - Surrounds the wielder with a 3-tile halo
  • Mayhem - May send enemies into a frenzy
  • Wrath - Has a 20% of inducing berserk rage when the wielder attacks

Orbs will always spawn with one of the egos listed above. Randart orbs will always spawn with one of these egos.

History

  • In 0.34, new orb egos: Attunement, Glass, Mesmerism, Pyromania, and Stardust will be introduced. Light will be removed from orbs, while Guile and Energy will now scale with Evocations.
  • Prior to 0.30, orbs could not appear as randarts. Also, three unrand orbs were introduced in this version (all formely staff unrands).
  • Equippable orbs were added in 0.28.
