 However, Whisperfeet is not intelligent and does not resist curses - be sure to re-bless them when necessary even if you have another luck item (e.g., [[the Heart of Ahriman]] or [[the Orb of Fate]]), since luckstone effects stack. Whisperfeet is also fairly unremarkable as an artifact wish, with stealth being the only hard property to replace: along with the usual guaranteed luckstone in [[Mines' End]], a pair guaranteed speed boots appears in [[the Spider Caves]].

-==Effect==
+==Generation==
-While carried, Whisperfeet acts as a [[luckstone]]. When worn, it additionally confers [[stealth]] in addition to its other properties (i.e., very fast [[speed]] and any effects intrinsic to their [[Randomized appearance (SLASH'EM)|randomized appearance]]).
+In addition to random generation, Whisperfeet is the guaranteed first [[sacrifice gift]] for [[Tourist]]s.

-Whisperfeet is a decent sacrifice gift for neutral characters, and Tourists in particular may consider them worth hanging around the first altar they come across in order to sacrifice for it. The relatively early Luck and speed can be a powerful aid in combat, and the stealth helps them avoid waking [[nymph (monster class)|nymphs]] and other sleeping monsters, especially given the much more troublesome nymphs that can generate in SLASH'EM and its variants. However, Whisperfeet is not intelligent and thus does not resist curses - be sure to re-bless them when necessary even if you have another luck item (e.g., as [[the Heart of Ahriman]] or [[the Orb of Fate]]), since luckstone effects stack.

+As a later-game item, Whisperfeet will let characters save 10 [[aum]] by not having to carry a separate luckstone, a nice benefit.  Whisperfeet is fairly unremarkable as an artifact wish, however; characters in search of speed can find guaranteed speed boots in [[the Spider Caves]], and there is of course a guaranteed luckstone in the [[Gnomish Mines]].  The stealth is less easily replaceable, but stealth and a 10 aum weight reduction is not worth an artifact wish.
