Ok I have been out of the ToEE loop for about a year now. Downloaded 8.1 to start a new game, created my party and began. So in the opening shop where you equip your party before beginning the adventure, there is a ton of magic and master work items laying around the second floor..so what gives.
Sounds like your usual superfolous addon content CO8 adventure. possibly a boardom derivitivation, isn't that why we are all here?
