I was referring to the spells actually, though I wouldn't mind the items either. I'm not gonna complain about monster levels or locations, I knew I was heading into rough territory when I rode passed the first level 79 critter. But for the sake of curiousity I forged ahead. Just wishful thinking I guess, that some day they might add a safe way to work through that type of situation.

Edit: I was mounted when I ate that ~8K hit from the Guivre, for the record.
