Sorry for not putting spoiler lines my last reply on this quest. So while I
am still in shock at the value of this little item, the question I now put
to all you higher level bards than I is;
Do I keep it, or sell it and go on a crazy buying spree with the money?
I am an 11th lvl bard, currently using a Mino Axe, wearing a mix of leather,
ring and banded armor. The only magical items that I have beside the crown
is a pair of cuttthroat rings, and a goblin totem that gives me an extra
5hp. On the down side I only have a natural STR of 80 so even now I am
getting pretty close to being encumbered just by wearing some of the heavier
armor pieces.
I am interested to hear what some of the more experienced bards recommend.
thanks in advance,
Bernwyn
