poll: most useful item

Post by Mhr'djynn »

i was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if i could get 6 pairs of boots of speed? sometimes, especially walking through athkatla, where you know where you need to go and have already done everything on the way there, it just seems to take ever so much time to get from x to y. so i think that would be what i consider the most useful item in the game. of course, the bag of holding is mighty nifty, too. i wonder what others think is their most useful-wouldn't-do-without-it item in the game.

Boots of lightning speed no doubt!

Although you cannot cast or fight while wearing them, you can run faster then spells can fly after you.

Not really the most effective or my favorite, but the most useful has to be the bag of holding.

If I could have 6 of one item, one for each character, it would be this.

The cloak of mirroring is one of my favorites. I gave it to my front line fighter so when enemy mages targeted him with spells they would get a little surprise right back at them. Also, it seemed to reflect beholder rays. Which is very convenient too. Nothing like having a greater beholder petrify themselves.

Has anyone ever tried more than one bag of holding???? Doesn't work with more than one......you can add more with the CLUA Console but having a couple bags of holding still just counts as one.....

Bag of holding.
why? because you no longer have too many problems trying to keep about all the things you got in quests that you dont want to lose.

Bag of holding, without a doubt.

Close seconds, for similar reasons, are gem bags and scroll cases.

Now if only there were a key chain....
