    Default spear of spoiler

    Some of you may remember that the spear of raw steel was an alleged third artifact reward from Kherab, but it didn't seem obtainable (presumably people knew of it from reading strings in the binaries), he stops at the second quest. You can read about at the old adom guidebook here.

    It seems someone went to the trouble of drawing art for this spear, you can see it in docs/items.html in the game directory. Why would they do that?

    So now I'm wondering, has it been in the game all along? Unavailable due to a bug, or just noone figured it out? Or is it planned for the near future? (Maybe his third quest could be to slay the ice queen?-- who incidentally utters a similar message when she runs out of quests).

    Well, it was in the game since 1.1.1. Either it was drawn simply because it was in the list of files, or we'll get a quest for it.
    It's also pretty damn awesome as a weapon.
    I like my women like my ADOM loot - hunted as treasure and in extra quantity.

    Hot damn, if it wasn't for the chaos essence, that would have been the best one handed pole arm in the game.
    Damage is in the range of mithril/orcish spear of dev and all the extra things make it all the more attractive.
    I think with Khelly saved and scrolls from mystic, even that chaos essence isn't such a big issue.
    Too bad it would take some highly chaotic quests to get it but for a CK, it's a dream come true.
