I tried to help a ranger get a dirk off Dvinn (I already had mine, as did
the enchanter I usually group with). We fought Dvinn 7 times, and he had a
heart 3 times, dark elf parts the other 4. No Dirk. Suffice to say the
ranger was a little perturbed. Of course he had no idea on the stats of the
dirk at the time, he was actually only killing him for his heart.
