Say I'm going into battle and I know that I want to get all items with a cold resistance. Or with a poison resistance. Right now, I'm just sifting through items one by one.

I've been thinking of putting items into a database or something, but thought I'd ask people here if they have the same problem and how they deal with it.

Most of us don't shift items that much during battle. You try to get the best items for a general situation and minimize swapping. Besides you still have to watch your weight for encumberance.

What I carry with are the potions, wands, and scrolls for extra spell power. I have them for the major fights.

Edit - there used to be an item database at the top of the forum, but the link needs to be fixed since the account is gone.

To the OP: The biggest resistance comes from armor.
Example, a suit armor with AC 30 will also add 15% resist fire/cold/energy, just from its AC. So most items with magical properties that increase resistance can be discarded of once you have decent armor.

As for that file that lists items, I've downloaded it to my HD (v 0.9) If the original author has somehow lost his file, and wands it back, I could upload it...

I mean, I remember reading somewhere he said he lost it...

Hunh. If anybody can tell me where that list went, I'll get on fixing it.

Slarty made the list but used his university account to post it. Since he graduated, they probably closed it out.

I graduated in 05, actually; they kept the account around for a year. I indeed do not have the original file anymore.

SevenMass, if you want to post it somewhere else, you have my blessing.

Well, here it is: av4items.htm
Unaltered.

It could use an update, adding some more item locations etc.

Or maybe someone can make a new file, using the data from this file as a basis to start from.

I won't promise it will stay up for long. (though it may very well stay up for long)
