What's an SC item? Pendant of Luck?Frost Brand? How do you know to what use the items are put?
And ya, some of them demon banes and the bell of cleansing mght be helpful for when the demons inevitably decide to persecute peaceful atlantis...

Using the amazing power of logic, one can easily determine if some item is to be used on an SC.

I got that Fenrir's Belt after I crushed independent Lamia province. ´That guy also got a cool Heroic Abilty.. Keh Keh.

Oh, I also forgot to tell what I want for my forging services. Money is cool and so are gems (all types are welcomed).

Yum! Nine Dark Knowledges, 0 sites found.

[Valandil]

I got five gems out of one level 2 mage searching a water province. Ice Isle and two lame 1 gem sites.

Well, my awake rainbow pretender has searched 6 Forest/Mountain provinces and found... 4 sites (one of which doesn't produce gems.

I'm especially ticked I spent 27 gems on dark knowledge because I could have gotten 50~90 undead. That and its a miserable day at work.

Freakin miserable. I've got a freaking enchantment bonus site, and could have had hordes of undead. Nine casts of Dark Knowledge with zero results is not what I planned for. I maybe found one site, and that was with manual searching. I think I made a mistake in 'radar'-ing for sites this early. I should have just sent out searchers. I could spare the Reborn (D2) mages, since I have a cadre of Sauromancers with Skull Mentors handling my research load. But the inconvenience of moving those searchers, plus the thought I would find SOMETHING, plus the auto-remote search flaws, and I thought to take a shortcut. My mistake.

You think that is bad? Trying casting voice of tiamat a few times and only finding one fire site.

Hmm. The Frogs seem to be out of room to expand, and their octopus god can't leave the water. First person to send me an amulet of the fish gets its cost back, plus insurance that the octopus won't attack them first.
