That's probably something that he picked up from the dungeon. In current versions Smeagol might not drop anything at all.

Going back to the OP, it's obviously a knack that HE Rangers have...

I was rather pleased with my recently acquired armour and shield, and the dagger found on this level tripled my damage and enabled me to dispatch Grishnákh with ease. And what a lovely pair of boots he was carrying...

OK, coming back from looong hiatus.
If you found Ring of Speed +9 and boots of speed +10, it is almost certainly April Fools joke...

Don't let Morgoth know. He may come upstairs and decide he wants them back.

Hi Pete! Looking to play, code, or reminisce?

Bit of each.
Started with review of promoted rgra post "Diving guide for newbies". It needs to be updated a bit for 4.0 -- I no longer know the optimal cutoffs for STR, DEX to get good blows.

Good thing I reviewed it, because I'd completely forgotten to buy oil and sufficient ?phase on my first try.

Well, if the new world gets too weird for you, the current comp is 3.0.6 ;)
