Thanks everyone for the info. I think I better wait a few levels
before heading inside. Pity really as the boots and the vambraces are
the last parts I need and I look a bit daft wandering around in bronze
boots and upper arms and blue everywhere else!
Speaking of daft, although I've got the Lambent helm I've stopped
wearing it because of how silly I look! It's a bit of a downer to a
girl when she joins a group only to have a paladin wander up to her
and tell her how bad her helmet looks on her!! Maybe they only come
in size huge for a wood elf, but it's awful! So I'm keeping it for my
snapshot when I've got the full set, but until then I'll be searching
out a decent alternative to the helm that's fairly easily obtainable
(or very very cheap!)
