Little-known facts about rust:
This armor will never rust: leather armor, studded leather armor, elven
cloak, shield, pair of gloves.
A rust monster will not affect armor that is -1 or lower. You can keep
on your -1 helmet without fearing rusties; it won't add to your armor
class but will help against falling rocks in the maze.
When you read a scroll of enchant armor while confused, your armor will
become rustproof ("Your %s glows silver for a moment."). If you read a
scroll of destroy armor while confused, your armor will not be
destroyed, but will lose its rustproofing ("Your %s glows purple for a
moment.") However, armor which will never rust (listed above) will
continue to never rust.
You can also rustproof a weapon by reading a scroll of enchant weapon
while confused. A scroll of damage weapon, read while confused,
removes the rustproofing. A rustproofed weapon cannot be corroded when
used against an acid blob.

rustproof? I tried it and nothing rusted after I did, but
there were no messages such as those that occur in the case of
ineffectual poison."
