I'm pretty sure I've never found more than 2 in one game anyway so I'm not the best point of comparison.
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!
