Scales of the Dragon King

Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A suit of armour created from the enchanted scales of a once-mighty king of dragons. In his time, titans and lesser dragons struggled with him in vain — but as with all things, even he was eventually cast down and undone. Of his life and deeds, this is all that remains.

Desirability

The scales of the Dragon King are +9 gold dragon scales with an extra helping of willpower. Any character that doesn't care much about encumbrance will greatly appreciate this armour. While you can get better AC by enchanting a mundane set of GDS, using this artefact saves scrolls of enchant armour for other purposes. The willpower helps, too.
