YAWP: Early Endgame Gear?

[yarps]

I don't usually post my winners, but Ogg VII is a bit more interesting than most, specifically thanks to the following item:

l) a Pair of Leather Boots of Elvenkind [2,+9] <+4, +9>
Found lying on the floor at 400 feet (level 8)

+4 stealth.
+9 speed.
Cannot be harmed by acid, fire.
Feather Falling.

Which kind of made me wonder: what's the earliest gear people have found, that they were still wearing come Morgoth? 400' is pretty early, but I'm sure there's someone out there who can do better. Anyone who wore Maggot drops?

That's certainly earlier than any of mine, except: artifactless games from the 3.0.X era, where the initial lantern from the general store would last the whole game.

Maybe I could have remained in the realm of sanity if this had been a Wormtongue drop but no.. found lying on the floor.

i found both Kelek's and Word of God under DL10 and neither time it was my class book.
