I enchanted my gloves and my shield both from +3 to +5 and have now
the uncursed large barded +6 Soulmirror (being worn) {224}
a blessed greased +5 dragonhide cloak (being worn) {35}
a blessed large +5 dragonhide pair of gloves (being worn) {46}
a blessed large barded rustproof greased +5 helm of drain resistance
(being worn) {60}
a blessed large +5 gray dragon scale shield (being worn) {150}
a blessed large barded +5 Hawaiian shirt (being worn) {10}
But the damage reduction did not increase, it's still (unchanged)
Head Armor: 10
Upper Body Armor: 11-26
Lower Body Armor: 11-23
Hand Armor: 11
You have no feet; shots hit lower body.
Is it meaningless [in notnotdNethack] to enchant armor further at
