Opening heavy chests: ok,, there's one rare item that doesn't change.
Can anyone give me a hint about how to value the other items? I am playing with a system of allowing myself 3 tries at such chests. I know this will offend purists, and I apologise for being a gambler at heart I'm playing as primarily a warrior.
So I have the following options that seem good to me in the chest with the hashashin knife (not listing minor stuff):
1. Magic ore + Banish Evil + Flaming Sword
2. Magic ore blank + Telekinesis + Flaming Sword
3. Unlock + Life+20 amulet
In each case the first item is the one that seems pretty valuable to me. I can't figure out if, with smithing skills, I can make a magic ore blank from a lump(s) of magic ore in order to make a magic ore weapon later in the game.
I also have read that Unlock Spells are not that common.
Does anyone have advice?
