Sidhe Lords are the really easy to mass thugs, since they're recruit anywhere. Ri (Cap, TNN) or Tuatha (Cap, Eriu) are also easily thugged and have slightly better stats and much better magic, but are much more valuable because of their limited availability. With an E8+ bless they're all thuggable with just frostbrand and vine shield. (+AMA by mid-game to make mindhunt sniping harder).

Similarly, Van/Helheim have plenty of thugs that don't need much gear. Firebrand + gold shield is the standard here, at least for Van.

Speaking of the con12 items..

Any utility to lowering them? And/or changing them for more general use in game?

I'd like to see more of some of them, since they have a lot of flavour.

Unique items the player can't forge, like the equipment of the sun, bogus' gear, robe of the sorceress....

Oh hi everybody I am not qualified to talk about the fine points of whether particular swords should be armor-negating but:

Vine shield is so good. I am tired of vine shields. Everybody uses vine shields against me! For some reason nobody uses eye shields against me. But it seems like they are super-good too. Vine shield vine shield vine shield! EVERYWHERE I TURN THERE IS A VINE SHIELD

I am not certain that these shields are overpowered (is anybody ever certain about such things) but I sure do feel like I'm cheating when I forge one
