Default Re: Item List: Most Used, Less Useful etc etc

supply items:
The cauldron gives 50 supply, while the bag only nets 25 points - and both add up, so it does make sense to forge one or two of them for your biggest armies.
Don't forget the Summer Sword (N-2, E-1), 50 supply for 10 gems.

'worthless' items:
Hunter's Knife
Berseker Pelt
Slave Collar
Ring of the Warrior
Flesh Eater


.. that's not much from a list of .. what .. 500 items ?
Some of the other may have only very special uses, but they do have them. Only those above are (IMHO) easily replaced by better ones from the same research level or have simply next to no effect.
