Long Sting is a random artifact in adom. It has base stats of (+4, 7d3) [+4, +0], and a variety of helpful other bonuses. It has a stellar to-hit rating and actually deals more damage if thrown, but doesn't return, so you can't throw it more than once per fight.

Desirability

While it is a nice enough weapon, there are likely to be other weapons with better melee damage before long. A regular eternium spear for instance is definitely superior, and can be used with a shield.

Guaranteed/Common sources

Long Sting can be granted by Precrowning, or found randomly like most loot. As an artifact, it cannot be wished for, however random loot generation methods will work. It is a possible crowning gift for Fighters and Farmers.
