Take away the stats and AC, and leave legs with Ring of Misty, and I'd still lose levels to get these if it werent 3 charges!
Simply giving roughly 1800 bandages to Joogl Honeybugger in misty (even if he scowls, you're high enough he will allow the quest long before you're ready for PoM) will get you from max negative faction to max ally faction with all but the clerics' guild.
Why do they make these "charge" items anyway?
Don't say it's because only druids are supposed to have the spell, their Epic gets a 49 Necro spell(same as), so that doesn't fit.
