Uniques

Uniques

Last updated August 17, 1997

UNIQUES are items that only one person can have. If you have one UNIQUE, nobody else in Athas can have it. But that also means that if somebody has it in Athas, you can't have it. The interest is that UNIQUES transforms into mushrooms after a while, so everybody has a chance to get a UNIQUE one day.

As far as I know, 15 different UNIQUES can be found in Genie island, and 4 more can be found in other questing places. Here is a list of all the UNIQUES I know, and what they are used for. They are more or less classified by order of importance (in my humble opinion).

Metal El's Drinker Genie This sword (1-8 +2) drains HPs for opponents and adds them to you. You can't have more than 15 HPs over your max, BUT you can be cured if hit... THE most powerful weapon in the game.

Robe of the pockets Genie This is a robe where you can put items. If you put chest armors in, the AC cumulates, and you can "wear" them even if you are a preserver. You can't go under AC-10 though, and the "effects" of armors (such as Free Action) doesn't work. THE most powerful chest armor in the game.

Belt of Strength Genie Gives 24 Strength So cool.

Dragonsbane sword Genie No special ability, 1-8 +4 Another good weapon.

Boots of speed Genie Let you move 24, and 48 if hasted. No AC bonus nor more attacks/round, though. Useful to flee if dispeled.

Sling of Detonate Genie Well, casts Detonate! Usefull if you want to be hated around :-)

Helm of Intellect Fortress Genie Useful for non-psi, as it give you that discipline. Cool but I would wear a Helm with detect inv, rather.

Lyre of Flame Genie Casts the clerical spell "Flame strike" (6-48 HPs damage). Can be used in PvP.

Wand of Elementals Genie Summons a Greater Elemental (random sphere). Beware that you do NOT have XPs for the monsters that the Elemental will kill. Useful only if you don't like being alone.

Obsidian Chatka of Animal Affinity Genie Gives you Animal Affinity spell power, if your hands are free (1-10 damage, but considered as "2-handed"!). Very useless. Trade it quick.

Bone Gythka of Disease Genie Two-handed weapon (+3?) with Cause Disease. No interest. Trade it quick.

Staff of Dragonbreath Genie Causes 6-36 HPs of fire "Breath". A Dragon with 36 HPs? What a wuss! No interest. Trade it quick.

Dampening hat Genie Casts Synaptic Static I would wear a Helm with detect inv, rather.

Candelabra of Prayer Genie Well, it casts Prayers... No interest. Trade it quick.

Rod of Slow Genie Casts Slow No interest. Trade it quick.

Sandals of Free Action Undersands Gives you Free Action spell permanently. Useful little device.

Bloodletter Sword Under Tyr Metal sword 1-8 +4, cursed for AC (4 penalty) Not so interesting.

Necklace of Undead Control Clockwork Allows Undead control, but I could never make it work! No interest. Trade it quick.

Bone Mace of Silence Cromlin Bone mace (1-6 +2) that casts silence each time you hit. How useless.

Promere's hammer Underdark 2-handed hammer (1d10+3?) with Strength of One spell... Not very interesting

If you are kind, I can explain you how to trade UNIQUES.
