A couple questions...

[Cyro Xero]

Hi, I'm new here and have been playing the game for about a month. I have a couple questions:
1. What are the stats of this "ring of lessor shadow" that everyone keeps talking about? Is it really worth spending what seems to be a month of playing time just to get one?

2. I've also read about the gargoyle cave for level grinding. Where exactly is the place and what's the recommended level to fight there?

Welcome to the forums,

1.

AC +25%, AD +4-7, BC +5%, Critical Skill 7 and it gives you shadow regeneration = +1 HP in every round

2. Head east in Vilegard and look carefully - bushes and trees in north side of the road.

You might get a RoLS from monsters in the gargoyle cave

happy hunting

Welcome to the boards!!!



nice swift response Sarumar, my friend!
just gonna add a little more for clarity...

the cave...

East of Fallhaven, the second town...
you will come to The Foaming Flask Tavern.
continue East down the main road...
you will come to a dead end with a cabin.
go back one screen (west, back the way you came)
you will find a hidden trail leading north...
this trail is blocked by a few monsters,
fight through them to reach "the gargoyle cave"

the ring...

in the back of the cave, there are a few rooms.
not caverns, but actual rooms...
you will find humanoid enemies in robes,
they have a one in ten thousand chance of dropping it (1:10,000)
one in four will drop a rock - so people keep track of their rocks
[a rough idea of how many you've killed - e.g. 25 rocks = 100 kills / roughly]

my opinion?

it's worth at least trying a few runs, you could get it in your first try.
it's NOT likely, but...

i snagged a GoLF on my first trip through the Crypt in a recent New Game

the lucky ones could get it in a few days of camping,
even a few weeks sounds pretty fortunate.
because the unlucky ones have been in that cave for months!

it really depends on how easily you get burnt out grinding / hunting / whatever we call it.
i think it's one of the strongest items in the game...

next to the RoL & some other secret stuff that hasn't been found yet

Welcome to the game and the forums. I like your name.
I would say level 20 or so for the gargoyle cave, although I was higher because I am a cautious player. Also, you do not list your stats, so I can't see your build. To add your stats to your signature go to the user control panel, edit profile, edit signature. For the format to use, see the Highscore list topic. I think it is in the General Game Discussion forum.

Sarumar, I find your English very variable. In some posts, it is very good. In others, I have trouble understanding what you are saying. On the whole, I do think it is improving.

i really struggle sometimes!!!
i feel better drawing things than writing them!



don't even ask me to explain why anything is proper,
or how to name parts of a sentence (past subject & predicate)



engrish can be difficult, even to nationals.
