Been playing for a long time, still a noob. Point me in the right direction for finding talismans of shield, aura, maybe some stoneskin potions or something. I could tell you where 2 stoneskin items are, thats it. Nothing more, I am a blank slate. Many hero chars, no prep knowledge = many worthless hero chars.

Obviously the standard responses will apply:
"Ask IC"
"Make an explore char"
"If you have to ask..."
"Go to areas where magic is used" (or some such thing)

I ask because I care.
