Firstly, having an absolute blast with this mod.
I'm wondering mainly how to farm golden dragons to obtain a diamond mail. I know, from reading some posts here, that much of the high end stuff is locked after you beat Smithy, but aside from trying to acquire the Lazy Shell, I wouldn't mind throwing Diamond Mail on a party member because I am getting wrecked in Nimbus Land currently. Just wondering if it's possible to encounter golden dragons prior to beating Smithy? If not, any tips that may push me along a bit? I tried fighting one of those black shy guys, and Luigi was bang on, I got absolutely annihilated by the one in Kero Sewers... I was just curious as to what fighting him was like. When I hit him and it did 40 points of damage, I knew I had made a terrible mistake.
