Hi! it's possible to find Illithium Ore besides to that find for the artist quest?
I have the Mace of Distruption +1,but time ago i completed the artist quest without cheat and now i can not make the Mace of Distruption +2, if i kill the artist in government districts, i can pick up the illithium but my reputetion drop of 10 points but if i steal him i find nothig.
There is other illithium in Faerun???
There is no other way to get the Ore other than to tell the ore merchant to make a fake one and tell you where to get the real one..then give the fake one to the church before getting the real one from neb.
I don't know if killing the artist will work...never tried that.
