Random Items? Or fixed upon first encounter?
 

Hey, my first question and first post here :P

I'm at the NPC Zombie in the graveyard ( Noric I think his name was. ) and I read you can get some okay/good items from him when you kill him. I don't seem to be lucky as I got a Flame Necklace ( +15% fire damage spells ) which doesn't seem to be much use to a warrior. So I tried reloading and killing him again....same item. So I tried reloading, leaving the area, fighting a few battles, then returned and killed him again....Flame Necklace. I've tried this a few times, and I'm assuming I'm stuck with this useless item. ( In fact it's so useless I'm considering starting over. ) Does anyone know if I'm just really unlucky, or if it's determined the first time I spoke to him?

Also I'm only on normal, but I've not found many good items at all, is it a good idea to kill the roaming bosses for some? Does level help you get better items if you do it this way? ( Your level and/or opponent level? )

All items as placed at the start of the game, so loading saves won't change the situation. To get another item form zombie you need to start new game.

Aren't this zombie giving always the same item anyway? Myself I remember always get the same ring from it, any game.

Nope, it usually gives a different one. There's probably a list of possible ones, each with a chance of appearing in any given game, and which one is determined at the start of the game. Personally, I don't think that I've ever gotten a good item from it. There's enough items in the game that it doesn't matter that much if this one sucks.

Rhaa it's weird at my last game I check carefully to see if I get again the Bronze Ring and again I get it. Myself I don't see this item that bad when you upgrade it, with some character and a slot available I find it ok, sure there's better.

I have a new current game but haven't yet done the fight I'll check again carefully.

About item random it's not fully random but more like you wrote, random among a list. For example is anybody get the elven crown in the first areas?

In the current game I check again and didn't get the ring but the Flame Necklace!! Well for a mage it isn't that bad alas in impossible mode the gremlins fight to update it is... chocking! :grin:
