Found only by killing [[the Enchantress]], a suit of '''faerie dragon armour''''s usefulness is entirely dependent on what the [[RNG]] decides to generate.

Desirability

Found only by killing the Enchantress, the usefulness of faerie dragon scales is entirely dependent on what the RNG decides to generate. If you should happen to encounter the Enchantress in a given game, don't overlook this armour until you've actually seen what properties it has to offer. A set of +8 acid dragon scales with clarity, rF++, and rElec is nothing to sneeze at.
