In notDnethack I'm still puzzled about the armor, whether its
artifact armor or ordinary one. For example...

On the quest home level I got from (own and other's) death-drops
an uncursed +0 set of black dragon scales {150}
a blessed +0 blue dragon scale mail {150}
I see that both weigh the same, and the dragon mail and scales
both _worsen_ my AC by 1 and 3 points respectively.

(My race is incapable of eating, and I wonder where from I'll
get my desired many types of resistancies. Shall I try to get
crowned? - If that works here.)

The Beastmaster's Duster, a jacket, that I had worn provides
better AC protection than the dragon scales and dragon mail.

I have a lot of artifact shields but here the +0 white dragon
scale shield is a lot better in protection. Shall I replace
The Shield of the All-Seeing by it? Or shall I wear Aegis, an
artifact shield that I recently obtained?

Similar with gauntlets. I wear the +4 Godhands but I've also
got the Wrappings of the Sacred Fist.

And lately I found and identified a +0 morganite dwarvish helm
with no visible effects when worn; what sort of helm is that?
Is it worth replacing the +0 golden tiara of telepathy or the
mundane rustproof +5 orcish helm?
