The latter. Vanqs will spawn in a level 1, you just get more items in a
level 5 so a greater chance of getting some decent stuff

True but don't rings and magic reflect only spawn in higher chests? I've never seen a ring in a lower level chest but then again I've only done maybe 40-50 maps.

Over the last 4 months of my playing here, in killing hundreds (maybe thousands) of monsters--Dragons, drakes, ancient wyrms, demons, balrons, elementals of various kinds, etc. I have never once found a spell reflection item. I'm pretty sure I have never seen a ring of teleport either...

Any comments on the era accuracy of this? I really have nothing to go off of, except a vague recollection of having obtained some spell reflect items from monsters a long long time ago.

In the mean-time:
Currently the only place to find these items are in 5th level (rarely 4th level) t-map chests or dungeon spawn chests?

I get spell reflect items from level 1 chests all the time. (all the time meaning 1/150 chests - about the same % for tele rings.)

Dungeon chest gives them in all lvls 1 to 4, but treasure chests doesnt in lvl 1 and 2 at the moment, lvl 3,4 and 5s i havent tried yet since my carto isnt high enough yet.

All treasure maps regardles of lvl gave you the chance to get invis,tele or spell reflect.

The main reason I do it and the reason I think will change your mind... the
magic items spawned do not depend upon level. You have just as much chance
of getting that surpassingly accurate silver katana of vanquishing on a
level 1 as you do on a 5. The only difference between magic items on
treasure maps is the quantity
. You have more of a chance of getting really
good ones on a level 5 because more spawn.


2 weeks ago I got *really* bored and broke out the fisherman. Got 5 sos's
in about 4 hours total play time and fished them up. Got 2 level 1's, one
level 2, and one level 3. The 2 level 1's yielded, a substantial accurate
bow of vanquishing and a really plain vanilla katana of vanq...like a
massive katana of vanquishing IIRC. The level 2 and 3 yielded the usual
clump of gems and scrolls also and the only notables were several invis
items
which I just love for mare taming in Trammel.

More proof and also shows the mibs had them witch i heard they dont have here.
This is after our cutdate and no patch note shows removing them from lvl 1-3.
