*Spoilers ahead*

In Act 1, there is a keep where you find a dry well.

Basically, upon removing the curse, the "well" gives you a reward. However, having different party members talk to the well will repeat the reward dialog, giving you extra rewards. The dialog indicates this is a one-time thing.

Just one of the problems I meant to report back in classic edition, but never did.

It is the same in classic and DE.

You can do it once per character, plus once for each different shapeshifted character which makes a total 5 items each. With a bit of save-scum you can get 5 Epic ring or belts, with +2 to whatever you want, for each character. The item type (belt or ring) seems to be a fixed order but the bonuses are random and the level is tied to you character level.

Yes, back in classic I got four items for the party, and with a bit of saving/reloading too. Didn't know about the shapeshift trick. Felt a bit guilty for a while until I finally replaced those items.

I understand if this problem is left alone for good. Either you don't know about it, or if you do, then it's too good to report.

As I have too much time on my hands I leveled up to 9 before going to the well.

This is the result:

I went (separately) with all 5 companions and ended up with 15 *legendary* rings and 15 *legendary* belts. That is 5 each for 6 guys.

It took a couple of days of save scumming (although I did take time off to do some other stuff) and was pretty boring. F8, 3, 1, 1, 1 > "+2 summoning"; F8, 3, 1, 1, 1 > "+2 perseverance" etc, etc

I don't see it needs fixing as even a legendary level 9 belt (of which your 4 man party can have a choice of 15) isn't going to be particularly interesting 30 minutes later (if I ever leave the island) and it takes a huge amount of effort and time.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I like save-scum generally but I enjoyed this experiment.

It was fun.

But slow.

You're more patient than I am! Seeing the same loading screen over and over makes me feel like gnawing my own fingers off in frustration.

You can do it on your phone via remote desktop if you are so inclined.

66 hours I've spent on this first island but I think most of it I wasn't actually doing anything... I should go to Reapers Coast but am afraid I may have missed something (unlikely) or haven't yet got the ideal weapon from the pig lady.
