Thank you for your feedback!
The ore and leather are mined in the Black Forest, not in the Rats Dungeon. I'll think about how to give the player a hint where the ore is located.
Also, there is a bestiary in the menu, where you can see the loot from monsters and where the monsters are located.
As for saves, I would advise you to save manually more often, auto-save can help if you forget to save, but I would not use it as the main save
I have noticed at this point it is currently impossible to enchant boots, bracers and jewellery(Rings, Earrings and Necklace). And I have just crafted the Purple Rarity Oathbreaker Greatsword and that weapon is not enchantable either? is that a bug or intended?
Have not yet been able to craft other purple rarity armour or weapons to check if they can be enchanted.
Or is there another location that I haven't found yet that has higher tier enchanting
I think the softlock is a valid concern. An unwitting player can lose their entire playtime if a boss spawns behind them and, while saving multiple times and often would eliminate this, the loss of that playthrough would undoubtedly sting. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody gave up on the game entirely because of this.
An emergency 'escape rope' item/skill/prayer could get the player out of an unwinnable scenario. Maybe there is a better system.
