As for the components, they're pretty rare. In general, you can get better stuff if you craft, but not by nearly as much as it would seem.

The big improvement available is Mithril Armor. It's an extra few points of AC that simply cannot be replaced. Shields however, are best bought. (There are some ...

Strangely, it turned up right at the start of Act III. I'm guessing it won't let you, (or it won't let me at any rate) take money out before. Still, I spent it on the Church and Tower, so I'm fine.

Thanks everyone!

Quick Question: Taking Out Keep Funds (Mild Spoilers)

Simple enough really. I'm in Act II, and I've already finished building everything I could. At the moment, even with no taxes (only the Appraise thing on the merchants), I'm still making 5k a turn, and have something like 60k in Keep Funds available. I'll probably have even more by the time I'm done ...

Thank you Fable.

So..... anyone know?

Note to self: When I have time, do a run-around of every merchant I can find. Ah well.

Who are the best Merchants? (Mild Spoilers)

Simple enough question. Which merchants buy things for the best prices?

I know that Sand in Act I would buy things for about triple the price anyone else would offer, but I eventually ran him out of money (and progressed to Act II).

Will anyone else offer equally good prices, at any point in the ...

Oooh, hard choice. Going by the original (I don't have NWN2 just yet...bleh)

For lower levels (before 15 or so), I prefer Wizards. They get several extra feats over the course of the game, which is always good, and they get new spells a level faster. Getting that Fireball a dungeon or two earlier ...

I've started to have some luck with the fight, but two things:

One: Melissan comes when ONE person dies. Not three. This makes it difficult.

Secondly: My game seems to crash a fair bit into the battle. It's only happened twice so far, but it's always when I've finally managed to get rid of three ...

Well, this is nice...

I actually had a decent battle going, managed to kill Illasera, Balthazar and Sendai, and was about to kill Abazigal when my game crashes on me. I don't feel happy.

Can't Beat Ascension Final Battle: HELP!

As the title says, I'm having serious problems beating the Five in the last battle of Ascension.

Now, I'm playing on core rules, and quite frankly, think that I've had a very good runthrough the game, (my first complete one). The only seriously difficult battle I've had all game was Kangaxx, every ...

Well, I'm wrapping up Chapter Six, so here's an update.

Just got V back from the Temple of Amaunator, and am taking a last look around Amn before heading off for the Elf City. All of my characters have gotten their first HLAs, so this seems a good time to check up on things.

There is. Go into the Gamebanshee sections for BGII "Books of Lore" And look through for the Dead Three. It only covers their actual ascendance though, and tells very little about them themselves.

Somehow, I think Bane should be a Sword and Shield person. There's no reference to him dual wielding ...

The whole spoiling won;t come into effect until Suldenessellar.

Plus, for me personally, spoilers really only matter if it's plot details. The knowledge that there will be a dragon further up doesn't really bother me. Still, I'll add it if I can

This'll be my third run through, but I hope to finish it this time.

First time out, I basically didn't plan out my party at all. Pretty much, whoever I picked up first stayed. My main character was a thief, with Imoen, Jaheira, Minsc, Aerie and Anomen. Too much thievery, but I was at ...

I'm playing on Core Rules. I'm thinking of upping that one level since I did everything possible in Ch. 2, at least until I return to Amn.

I've killed Shangalar, wasn't particularly difficult. (Mace of Disruption). The Mage got killed by her own pit fiend, and Vampires are suprisingly vulnerable ...

Well Kangaxx is dead, and in a decidedly anti-climactic fashion...

Viconia got a lucky hit on him with the Mace of Disruption and he failed to save. Still managed to imprison Edwin, had to run around all of Amn looking for a Freedom Scroll. Finally gave up and consoled on in.

Somehow, that battle ...

No... that would be admitting defeat.

Hmmm... Does Mace of Disruption +2 count for hitting Demiliches? I think it has a higher enchantment versus undead.

Well, let's see. some basic assumptions. (Note, this is all from memory)

First off, these are all super-epic characters who had enough power to challenge Jergal, who if my memory serves, was an incredibly powerful deity. Thus, they would all have excellent stats, so you'll probably be rolling to ...

Well, most of my characters are around level 14-16.

Then just cast Death Spells until ...

I suspect I won't worry about it. Even though his AC is the most miserable by far of all my characters, (five), he actually seems to die the least.

The Characters that die the most are Cernd and Korgan, since they're usually in melee, followed closely by Viconia, though I take more care around her ...
