For lack of a better place to post this, I have two comments:
Vicious Vicious is too hard. I believe everything should be doable, but (V)VGT and (V)NC is stretching the limits of possible. If you look closer, the real reason is those are the dungeons with lots of tough guys. I'm not really sure whats to be done Divide the bonus between all the non-Kinissch bosses in NC? Make some sort of formula where the higher the level (with later floor VGT guys counting as higher and higher than level 10) the smaller the bonus? I suppose if we went with the latter it would have to be minor, and exclude bosses (though maybe not the ones in the arena at NC). I know that this is content only 5% or maybe less of the gamers will use, but it kind of feels like a let down.
The other thing is Gardening Shears need their own artwork. I passed over them a couple of times thinking they were a fine sword. Also, they seem to appear less than other items. In the past 8 or so runs, I've seen gardening shears once, but the viper ward 6 times. Is that intentional?
