Guide: Magic Path Booster Guide

[Gregstrom]

You note in the guide that Armour of Twisting Thorns can't be removed. I don't think this is always the case, but the exception is rather limited: AFAIK transforming pretenders whose alternate form has no torso slot can transform and lose the armour that way - I believe that if they transform in a province with a lab, then the armour goes into storage.

This probably isn't any use with a Rainbow pretender, anyway.

[Aethyr]

I always thought that items which could not be equipped on the new (transformed) form were "lost". Is this incorrect?

[Gregstrom]

I haven't done any thorough testing, so it's entirely possible I just had a spare suit in my labs.

It isn't lost if the transformation happens in a province with a lab (as in transformation as a map order, not as in battle).

Great recipient for the thorn armour are Llamia Queens. They usually have nature and blood and can transform into serpents to put the armour back into a lab.

Normally, yes. But not if you are in a province with a lab.

May be worth noting, if something as esoteric as removing cursed boosters by transforming is worth putting in the guide at all, that it's not just transforming pretenders.
I'm thinking specifically of Jotunheim's Skratti, who might have some use for an extra blood booster. And Gygja's can make them, too. Which is most convenient.
