neckledge of firestorm is the upgraded item name. location is random. i found it in a tressure chest on an island around elven lands once.

This fire necklace I saw for sale in castle Nexy in the demon lands, but didn't buy it (was playing as warrior).

My favourite in the last game was definitely the telescope artifact that gives 100% to the attack of shooters (doubles their attack).

The artifact that gives you +5 and +50% against dragons would be the runner up.

At the moment I am playing with both the crown that gives 100% damage bonus to thorns and the telescopic sight that gives !00% damage bonus to archers. Also have the set that grants 30% critical chance to ranged attacks. Thorns and troops that spawn thorns are wrecking havoc.

I don't think that 100% bonus to attack is so great for thorns, as it effects their base attack. So it basically amounts to thorn-hunters getting +3 or 4 attack (I forget what exactly it is). I found telescopic sight best for cannoneers and/or evil beholders, and the 2 elf archers.

I'm not sure if Telescopic sight works with (Evil) Beholders... Possibly with cannoneers (is cannon a projectile weapon?

[Eldritch]

The telescopic sight sounds p. cool. The core of my mages current army is composed of sprites, lake faeries and dryads on cra... erm, I mean Anga's Ring. (+3 to speed, initiative and morale of all female creatures iirc.) i I'm using Royal Snakes and Griffins with that cuz I got double greater druids staff, (+4 int. +%50 attack for animals) snake boots (+1 speed AND initiative for all snakes) and the griffin kings feather(regalia, +1 speed to griffins and all lvl1 critters) AND on top of that the winged wind( a pair o' sandals that gives all flying and soaring creatures +1 speed). Obviously this combo is possible with Xeona who is the best wife evarr imho. I'm keeping elves and hunters in reserve for fights where I think a ranged element could be useful plus they get a morale bonus for being in an all-elf army. This alternative army of mine would be MUCH more viable with this telescopic sight but I never found it in my game and I'm lvl 24 in demonis now. Is it a rare item? Where do you usually get it?

thorn hunters are not counted as archers so telescopic sight and the ale barell does absolutly nothing for your thorns. It's a bit anoying since it says archer in their description but it's consistent with dragon arrows or precision not affecting them.

It makes it clear though how sick blackthorn crown and thorns are though. Couple with issharas whip, poision dagger and perhaps a hell fire buff and you got the hardest hitting unit in the game, getting 30k Hits (not crits) vs low defence stacks with 16k leadership, saw a crit at 76k in another thread and that should easily be breakable using thorns.
