Troubling ice breaking decision

I stopped playing becasue my (free!) Empire: Total War download finally finished. (Only took about a week :/), but it's a good place to stop because I have quite a troubling choice to make.

spoiler warning.
In the land of the frost giants:

Which item do I go for in this save? The Bow or the Armour? Possibly even the ring? I don't need to Axe, so that's out of the question. I think if I get the armour, I could give it to a knight, which slows him down, but then give the SR shirt with 15% spell effect and 0 armour penalty to the wizard? But 15% spell loss :( And the bow is good....argh...decisions


What do you think? What did you go for?

I say just go with whatever reflects the more immediate needs of your party you anticipate for the ice cave. The crafting system is ultimately robust enough that you would be able to exactly replicate anything there, and more, eventually. Or if brave, just leave them all frozen!

Not these though - they have some distinctiveness that can't be replicated.

Pod, you're uploading the wrong save folders, it's should be the same number as the number that is displayed in the load screen, not 0.

Is 0 not the quicksave?

No, the quicksave uses the save slot number 1.
