i don't know about the most recent patch, but i know a bard who wears the
mithril chest. i guess i will have to ask him if he still can. i am not
sure about the black enamelled chest. and i thought the bone dirks were
always rogue only, but as i said i am not sure. its ok, rubicite looks
besy anyway =)
