I thought it may be helpful to make a list or map of area(s) where it spawns.

[edit] A note on grammar

Warning: Grammar geek content to follow. Proceed at your own risk.

I noticed there's been some disagreement on the grammar, so I figured I should explain why I'm making a change. This is a minor issue but "three other Zehtuka's items" is not grammatically correct. The problem is that "three" and "Zehtuka's" are both determiners, and in English a noun can only be modified by one determiner. As an example, consider that we can say "Those are two dogs" or "Those are Harry's dogs", but not "Those are two Harry's dogs". It's either "two of Harry's dogs", or you reword it to say "Those two dogs are Harry's". So it could be fixed by adding the missing "of" (three of Zehtuka's other items -- "other" is an adjective and must stay with "items") or since "Zehtuka's" is actually part of the title for each item, it could be put in quotes, which changes it from a determiner to a noun adjunct, which is OK (three other "Zehtuka's" items).

See? I warned you this was for pedants only. I won't claim to be an authority on all grammar, but I'm pretty sure about this one. I think the problem with the other correction is that it sounded awkward, so hopefully this one will be more acceptable. Sorry for the length. Grammar is a passion, I can't help myself. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 17:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

PEDANT PEDANT PEDANT! You are right though :) --Lemming 18:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

While we're on the subject of grammar, "...is one of four other items..." implies that there are five items total. I believe it should say, "...is one of four items..." without the word other. Especially since in the next sentence it refers to those items as, "The other three items..." - Desbreko 11:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
