Hellfire component
A hellfire component is a type of stackable chain-like item that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It has a default material of metal.
Generation
The bottom right chest inside a magic item vault guarded by a juggernaut, scrap titan or hellfire colossus has a 1⁄2 chance of containing a hellfire component.
Statues of colossal clockwork war-machines generated in the The Paths of Law have a 1⁄4 chance of containing 1–4 hellfire components. Additionally, the statue will contain another 1–8 statues of clockwork automatons that themselves have a 1⁄4 chance of containing 1–2 hellfire components. Each colossal clockwork war-machine statue effectively contains 0–20 hellfire components.
Upon death, hellfire colossuses leave behind 4–16 hellfire components.
Description
Applying a preservative engine with fewer than 8 charges allows it to be recharged with a hellfire component, setting its charges back to 8.
10 hellfire components can be applied to create a hellfire orb. When standing adjacent to a hellfire orb or hellfire colossus, a hellfire component can be applied to heal them for an amount equal to their monster level.
For clockwork automatons, one hellfire component is necessary to obtain the hellfire furnace upgrade. To obtain it, they must apply an upgrade kit and combine it with a hellfire component.
