About an extra 30% chance of an item drop, according to some testing I did
before.
As for archers in the tower, a ring of ice certainly helps immensely.
Crossbows also burn less, especially if blessed. Another option is thrown
rocks - train it up a lot and they do a lot of damage. They still burn in
the tower eventually, but it's easy to bring in enough that you won't run
out. Swamp hydras are good to train them against, since they give 5 marks
per hit. The Wyrm can be difficult to kill with just rocks, but using
potions of blindness (or cursed potions of invisibility) helps disable hit
quite a bit.
Another option is to get crowned (if you're not already) in the hope of an
artifact missile weapon (Sun's Messenger and Far Slayer are awesome,
Whirlwind can be surprisingly effective too).
