the good news is, when you get to Remgard...

there better boots!!!
(and a few to choose from)


:D
Or if you don't want to go all the way to Remguard, I think the woodcutter's boots are still an upgrade from Vacor's.

Not enough patience to search forever for them with slowly increasing numbers, just thought this was interesting to share
Interesting. Are you sure you found 2 rings in the same drop, and not that you were fighting two monsters at the same time? In that case, it sounds like a bug.

Even if you have 100% chance of getting all drop items in a droplist, you should not get more than the maximum quantity that the droplist specifies - and the shadowgarg3 droplist only specifies max 1 ring drop. The evaluations for chance & quantity are two separate lines of code, which makes it sound even more strange that a high dropchance would affect the outcome of the quantity.

Oskar, I believe Cyracus meant that after 5 fights he had 2 rings in inventory... That would be a strange bug
