On a side note, ice caves are way too easy. I saw a post of someone complaining about them and I don't know why. I went and cleared one with an abyss dagger and iron gear. The bat's are only slightly annoying b/c you have to wait for em to get close, and the wolven are laughably easy.

They are RNG and you have probably not been in one very deep and got swarmed.

And yeah that post was probably from me. I wasn't complaining about the difficulty as much as I was wondering how the game mechanics were set up to deal with the threats presented. I have no issues with risk vs reward being rewarding.

Ahh, The most I ever saw at one time was 2 wolven and a host of bats. Only been in one cave so far. It does look like you will have to go in a bunch to get enough mats for the fenris set.
