Silver items never generate in Gehennom, except for non-weapon-and-armor items which are base silver such as the silver wand.

Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, a chaotic artifact silver war hammer which references the Beatles song. Its powers and details have not been specified.

There should be silver crossbow bolts so people who want to use a crossbow can still get silver damage.

If you have a silver non-reflection shield, a towel, and grease, you can turn it into a shield of reflection by polishing it.

It’s harder to force the lock on chests or large boxes made of metal, and increases the chance your weapon breaks. Additionally, the material of the weapon used to force the lock affects the result, if it’s used to pry rather than bash:

• Iron and metal behave as normal.
• Mithril is stronger than iron, and breaks less.
• Copper is slightly weaker than iron, and breaks a little more often.
• Softer metals, such as silver and gold, break less often but tend to bend. A “bent” weapon doesn’t actually become bent internally; it just loses a lot of enchantment.
• Wood is about as good as copper.
• Glass almost always breaks, and can break even if used to bash open a lock.

A monster that, similar to leprechauns, steals items made out of silver, and only items made out of silver.

Incorporeal monsters like ghosts and shades are only hit with blessed objects, artifacts, magical attacks, etc 50% of the time they would have otherwise. The only items that are guaranteed to hit (assuming you make the to-hit roll) are those made of either silver or bone.

Crude (orcish) items should never generate with valuable metals (gold, silver, platinum, mithril) as their material.

When a silver item would randomly generate within Gehennom, try to reroll its materials (possibly multiple times) so that it’s less likely to be silver. This is because the inhabitants of Gehennom would likely have tried to get rid of all the local silver. Additionally, demons should never receive silver items in their starting inventory.

Engraving with a blade made of softer metals such as gold or silver should dull it faster than an iron blade.

Hitting monsters that have a passive shock attack with something made of copper, silver, or gold increases the amount of shock damage.

New artifact The Silver Shoes, silver low boots that levelport you when invoked. They are the shoes worn by Dorothy in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Silver objects are corrodeable but not, of course, rustable.

Ghosts cannot be touched with most items, or the player’s body, similar to shades (probably blessed + silver objects would suffice; though silver does not sear them like it does shades). They don’t need to have an amazing AC anymore because of this.
