Good News!:
my one self-determined quest is over; I got my 2nd evil liquor last night and the Wine Key just now! 
Bad News:
I am doing a very bad job at "trying" to be patient. Even though I now know the effect item is the 1st item I've since lost out on properly using a
on level 20 and a
on level 47 by not waiting the paltry 5 seconds for it to appear and instead just charging ahead with killing things immediately. 
I don't know how to convince myself to play more calmly. This is why I will not beat Tuber!
