Best random Item in the Game

[Qbert]

I'm just a newbie and only just kicked off AP (bought the package wanted to get through TL first) ... but I was pretty surprised to see that the very first vendor in my game had a 150k artifact reducing red dragon leadership req by 20%.

Naturally I haven't come across a single red dragon yet.

Also picked up last night what i've dubbed the "Psycho-spidey" shield.... +9 attack, +9 defense, +1 speed to all Spiders and all their attacks crit if I remember right.

Oh yeah, that spider item is insane... for spiders. Sadly only the fire spiders are at all good (though I have gotten some decent use out of them, one of my favorite early game Mystic Eggs).

I beg to differ Back in my russian KBAP days I used poisonous spiders with a warrior against dragons just for the fun of it (along with Royal snakes and Lake Dragonflies) and they simply beat the crap out of the dragons, because of their lack of poison resistance. It took some resurrecting with paladins and phantom afterwards, but it was fun seeing a bunch of dragons losing to such simple troops

With Eviln, undead spiders are a lot better.

Yea I found this item late in the game . The problem I have is finding spiders I could only find 2000 undead spiders and not very many of the other sort. But crise they kick ass (I'm playing warrior on impossible). Even worse I have black knights (just picked them up after finishing reha (only thing left is serrata and the final fight). Just wanted to see how this shield worked and like well whatever

The thing is that even before I found the shield warrior on impossible had already become incredibly easy just using normal critters like paladin and royal snakes. I have to admit that it was a bit rough from level 10 to 25. Hum... trying to decide if I should continue with the mage on impossible; it stalled out around level 12 so I started this game.

Oh well. Warriors are definitly >>> easier than mages; at least on impossible.

Are spiders considered "animals"? For purposes of Voice of the Dragon and the (I think blue) Pet dragon?

The Fishing Net is my all time fav.
