  Name: Adrian
  Path: Mage
  Career: Alchemist (Good Taste, Mydas' Touch)
  Stats: 17sp 0br 30ma 0ar 50he

  Head: Thalamus Tiara (2sp 5ma) Haste
  Cloak: Slipstream Silk (3sp 2ma) Surge
  Gloves: Abattoir's Gloves (1sp 4ma) Bleed
  Chest: Slipstream Gown (2sp 4ma) Overload
  Feet: Rune Forged Greaves (2sp 2 ma)

  Main hand: Tempest's Fury (2sp 5ma) Windblast
  Left hand: Archstrike (3sp 3ma) Dominate

  Talisman: Blinding Dust (1sp) Deceive

  Necklace: Pendant of Foresight (1sp) Evade
  Ring: Band of Elements (2ma) Lightning
  Ring: Conduit of Shadows (3ma) Overload

  Money Pouch: 1.100
  Backpack: Field Kit, Arthurian's Horn, Fluffy Dice

  Special Abilities: Bright Shield, Snakes Alive, Windwalker

  I was literally swimming in gold, thanks to Mydas Touch. I picked this career at the very beginning of Act2 and never had a reason to regret it, even though I seldom use Good Taste. It is a pity that Act3 contains only a piece of feet equipment for Mages, as I still had those Rune Forged Greaves bought back at Pisa's Rest.

  Thanks for sharing Rygar. Heart of Fire next?

  There are mage boots available from Waldo and also a set in the Waking the Dead quest. Not sure what version of the book you have, but they are available on the Downloads page if they aren't in your edition.

  Anyway, happy adventuring!

  I am already playing HoF, with three different character in three different Acts. The writing style is excellent as usual, but the gameplay has greatly improved. The chance to "store" a few item enables to develop a different strategy for every fight. And, beside, the chance to side either with the Faith or the Wiccans give a lot of re-playing value.

  As for the boots, I saw them at Waldo's, but they gave bonuses to Speed and Armour and it looked to me pretty futile to have a single point in Armour, when the other greaves gave me +2 in Magic. I probably skipped the other pair somewhere in the tomb.
  By the way, "Waking the Dead" is by far the best and most satisfying quest in Act3 (with the only possible exception of the eponymous "Legion of Shadow"): not only it is fairly long, but gives so many background details about this or that character.

  My advice is don't always rely on stats, look at the ability too. Deflect is a really good ability. Less so with 17 speed I agree.

  It is a truth I discovered at my own expense: with the only possible exception of Speed, every other stats can be neglected, if you are given a very good ability in exchange. I am thinking about Deflect, but also Sure Grip (in Hof) comes into mind.
