The list of items dropped by the Rifle the Wallet-Purse-Leprechaun non-combat option has changed from it's placeholder (items 1-12, starter items) set. As such the "acquire three starter items" is no longer correct. Perhaps change to just acquire various items ? The items are a selection of items from basement and ground floor, plus worthless items for hermit.
