"These are a few of my favorite things..."

That might be some Judy Garland song, not sure, but as for DomII, these are some of the items which I just *love* to forge

- Rainbow armor. It's dirt cheap for what it is. I *love* to give my mages +MR AND reinvigoration, plus it offers protection to those shirt-wearers without much encumberance. Rainbow armor rocks.

- Lucky Shield. It's so darn simple and so nice.

- Sceptre of Command. A really useful item from the Bargain Basement.

I am purposefully not listing the ultra-groovy items, because we all know how much the gatestone and amon hotep rock. But what are some of your favorite items which are of a less spectacular variety?

I'd like some tips on Items Less Used But Ones I Have Previously Ignored, Me Git.

Thanks much

Well, Endless Bags of Wine and Enormous Cauldrons of Broth are immensely helpful in most situations...and anything which increases reinvigoration (Girdle of Might, Amulet of...I forget, etc.)

I also quite like Elemental Armor.

Dragon Helm. cheap, available early, gives another way to attack especially for commander types you have just standing at the back.

Bows. Same reasoning for stand-back commanders.

Boots of Flying or whatever they are. I tend to use it to move mages and commanders quickly. Mostly they put on the boots, fly to some front-line lab, take off the boots so the next guy can use them. but also not bad for making cheap "attack the rear" commanders

The Summer Sword. Like a Cauldron but better & cheaper.

For some reason, I really like forging Ivy Crowns and trying to make vine ogre armies as large as I can.

I also tried the Nethgul Last night for the first time. That seems like a fun item and worked really well in a couple battles for me.

Black Steel Fullplate, Bracers of Protection :-)

The only reason i have earth gems.

And those Boots of Trampeling, when i am playing Jontunheim :-D

I do not use any items that boost my spellcasting abilities
