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

[Ragnarok-X]

Ice Sword, the Cauldron and the Summer Sword are my favourites.

rod of the phoenix is one of my Favorites also love the elemental armor

Well, I thought it might be fun to put just one level in every magic path, then equip my mage with rings of sorcery and wizardry, a staff of elemental mastery and a robe of the magi, before sending him off to find every magic site possible (except the holy ones, of course). I used all the spare points to pump up his Dominion (because he couldn't leave the lab until he'd researched construction 6).

As Pythium I had to take Air2 in order to manufacture all the items - can anybody do it without needing a level 2 path?

Also, why do two identical miscellaneous items not stack when two identical one-handed items do? Or is it only magic bonuses that don't stack? (I made two rings of wizardry but that was a waste - would two thistle maces stack?)

- Lucky Coin (5S) : 0 encumbrance sheild w/luck
- Sword of Swiftness (10W): 1h so can use shield, decent damage, 2 attacks
- Ice sword (5W): good damage, sometimes freezes opponents
- Boots of Quickness (10W): quickness!
- Horn of Valor (5N): gives standard +20, I think
- Owl Quill (5A)/Lightless Lantern (5F)/Skull Mentor (10D): bonus, upkeep-free, research
- Endless Bag of Wine (5N): indispensable +25 supply
- Bracers of Protection (5E): 0 encumberance +2 bonus armor
- * Dragon Scale Mail (10*): 1 encumberance, 15 prot, plus a 75% * resistance (* = Fire/water/nature)
- Black Steel Helmet (5E): 0 encumberance, 3 prot helm, great for mages early on.
- Longbow of Accuracy (5A): 14 dam, prec 30!, 45 range

[Nargel Primus]

1 item that had me ROFL when I first read it
in the manual and still gets me when forging
is the concept of a Barrel of Air. Hoot mon!

[DLC]

that blood armor is nice for 40 slaves, there's nothing like a extra +5 mr and 1 extra bloodmagic to protect your bloodhunters from magic and hunt more efficiently at the same time.

[Nagot Gick Fel]

I'm quite fond of Spell Foci and Rune Smashers on mages who have to cast resistable spells.
