those are all I've gotten to so far...

there's clearly more room to upgrade the new sword/bow/armour to level 3, but there's no ways to upgrade the black forge beyond level 2.

none of the new stuff feels like it's worth all the effort.
except the feather cape, that thing is a beaut!

so, even after being fully upgraded with mistlands gear, you're barely any better than using what was available before...
that can't be right, can it?
am i missing something????

Yeah you're missing a lot, actually. If you think staff of embers does pitiful damage then I'm sorry but you just don't know what you're doing and should probably find an easier game to play.
