Talk:Sting

Actually, mrivan claims that he regularly names Sting when playing Ranger, and a brief discussion on IRC yielded some insights into the approach... I might edit later.--GreyKnight 12:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

In some older games, I named Sting for some experiments; then I started playing elven Rangers in vanilla without Sting. I recently learned that blade artifacts like Sting are good for prying open the locks on chests; artifacts will break only 1% as often. (lock.c#line148) I am on break from vanilla, but I have started naming Sting and Orcrist in both NetHack brass and SLASH'EM; in brass it helps me kill orcs, while in SLASH'EM it stops shops from selling them. --Kernigh 19:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
