Are boots super rare?

[CostlySpider]

Ive been looking for boots for my characters, and right now, my main party only one Char has boots. Val has swiftfoot boots, cause she is my tank and I want her in there faster.

I have kind of switched up my party, here and there, kind finding out who I like working together, so maybe when I get back home I possibly put boots on another char, have to check that.

But my main party right now only one char has boots. Basically every one is level 12 now.\

The kingdom managment thing Im not really doing so much so maybe, i screwed that up by not making towns good enough so merchants have stuff, right now when I go to other towns the merchants have nothing really. So it could be on me.

I just do not understand how by level 12, I really have not found many boots.

You should have found some +5 mobility boots at least, but yeah there aren't many in the game.

Thanks, just thought it was wierd by now, hardly anybody has boots. But lots of cool weapons.

There is a lot of item disparity I believe... I'm overflowing with axes and maces that push out up to 25 dmg by chapter 3... yet never found more than a +1 Longsword.
Also more capes than batman but only one pair of boots and a single pair of loves.
You won't see any helmets until chapter 4, then you'll have more than you know what to do with.
You'll find plenty of threads on the subject...

Depends how you define "helmet". If it's the entire head slot as the game decides it is, you'll have something for every character by the end of act 1. Lots of +2 circlets of mental attribute, plus there's the stag lord hat, the dwarf artifact, and the tophat of holding behind the crag linnorm.

If you are looking specifically for helmets by PF rules, few and far between, but considering they have to share a slot with one of the most common and essential equipment items, that's not as much of an issue.

You can also get gloves of +4 dex from the elf weaponsmith "I want an item to make me quicker" or something like that.

You can get some good boots from some of the artisans.

I'm having the same experience. So it's probably just another aspect of the game to which they completely forgot. 50 hours in and I have one pair of boots as well. Boots of Elvenkind +2. So many holes in this game.
