disagree. Having a certain ring of ice makes sense to me and since the other chances to the game with stat potentials this change works to make the ToeF a tiny bit easier.

Adding the ring of ice to the already extremely desirable SoCR set is terrible. The SoCR set is already so, so, so much better than the PoGA set--why can't the RoI be just with the PoGA set to balance it out just a little? [although considering the tower is perfectly doable w/o RoI or fp blanket, it doesn't actually help that much, imo]

Definitely agree with this.

Sorry, I mistakenly voted no because I thought it was a wand of cold. Please, mentally subtract one "No" vote and add one "Yes".

I think a guaranteed ring of ice is not needed. On the other hand, a guaranteed wand of cold would prevent being forced to quite a lot of grinding in some games (yes, I know the druid gives you frost bolt, but with some characters it's unwise to go with the druid and at the point where you make that decision you don't really know if the RNG is going to throw a wand of cold at you or not).

Druid or carpenter, both supply a way across water. The Ring of Ice is not that important, so i don't care. I usually find about 3 lying around anyway.

Unless you need herbalism.

The problem there is bridge building... if bridge building is buffed enough to be actually practical, then yes, there wouldn't be the need for a wand of cold.

But anyway this is off-topic, sorry.

This was intentional. I just not felt good about either giving an artifact or "only" easily destructible/consumable items.
