Elven boots are a type of magical boots that appear in NetHack. They are made of leather and have a randomized appearance when unidentified.
Generation
Elven characters start the game with knowledge of the pair of elven boots' appearance.[1]
In addition to random generation, general shops and used armor dealerships sell elven boots.
Non-undead elves that are not generated with an elven leather helm have a 1⁄4 chance of being generated with elven boots.[2]
Description
While worn, elven boots grant 1 base AC and confer stealth. Wearing or removing the boots will auto-identify them if you do not have any other source of stealth.
Strategy
Elven boots can be a useful source of stealth for the Sokoban zoo and other special rooms a character may encounter.
Elven boots and elven cloaks, are among the lightest and most common magical armor and can be safely enchanted to +7, making them ideal for polypiling.
History
Elven boots first appear in NetHack 3.0.0.
Messages
- You walk very quietly.
- You put on elven boots and did not already have stealth; the boots are auto-identified.
- You sure are noisy.
- You removed a worn set of elven boots and did not already have stealth; the boots are auto-identified.
