Looks like I've been pretty lucky this morning on my bufcore char.
Found a well at lvl 16/17 and Welled some lvl 10 and 15 items.
A white lvl 15 scale dropped a lvl 15 chain with 17ee + a lvl 20 leather with random stats and a white lvl 15 sword had a lvl 15 axe with 39ee as sidedrop
I should be able to climb to lvl 25 without bigger issues atleast.
