New items Options

[Shadan]

I have read this in progress report v5:

8- Five new armors, one new pair of boots, one new axe, two new amulets and one new type of potion added to the game. Potions of Mind Focusing are removed.

When I checked items.tx for v5, I found only 4 new armors, 1 new amulets. No new boots (if I don't count renamed and ranger only changed Boots of Imrpoved Agility), no new axe. So my question is the remaining 1 armor, the boots, the axe and 1 amulet is a simple drop (not crafted item by Cespenar or Cromwell), or they don't made it to final version of v5? I waited eagerly for some really good, not owerpowered new items. I found helm, necklace and ring selection too narrow for example.

Also I wonder if Monsters Compendium is made in v5 or isn't. I mean some drop books in which I can read some good infos about new types of monsters (like new golems in IA, new monsters in v5 etc.)

The new axe is "Axe of the Lakesider". It's not to be forged by Cromwell or Cespenar. It's the final reward you get at the end of the new quest, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly in expanded ranger stronghold.

The fifth armor is a drop, but you could guess its name by reading the recipe to forge Red Coral Armor.

The same is true about the second amulet. You can see its name in the recipe to forge Amulet of Hades.

The same about the new pair of boots. Its name can be seen in the recipe to forge Boots of the Ranger Lord.

As for the monster manual, I actually dropped the idea, because players could cheat to read its content in Shadow Keeper instead of working on collecting its pages inside the game. But I'm still open to new suggestions in this respect.
