Boots trinket... misprint? What am I missing?

By Gamemasterbob, in The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth

I searched this forum and could not find anything regarding errata so I’m posting this here forgive me if this has already been posted and answered.

Regarding the Boots (all boots) trinket . It reads “If you would test Agility or Might you may deplete this item to test Might or Agility instead”. Isn’t that the same thing in reverse? Is this a misprint or a game element I am missing?

help.

The game is great.

It's saying if you're testing Agility you can use Might instead. Or if you're testing Might you can use Agility instead.

If a character is weak with ‘might’ he can test agility instead, however if the character is weak with agility he can choose to test might instead.
I had to read it a couple of times before it clicked.

Gimli really like the Boots!

Thanks a lot! I get it now. The FFG community to the rescue. And Gimli, these boots belong to Aragorn so hands off!

Also Legolas

They're useless for Beravor and Elena, ok for Bilbo and Aragorn, and best for Gimli and Legolas.

Overall not that great an item in my opinion. Kind of similar to the rope.
