Not everyone has english as their native language, and not everyone has it as a schoolsubject.

Its ok to point someone on small grammer mistakes, or things like using blanklines between parts of the story to improve readability.
But not in this way, try to be polite here!

Also, keep this thread about Baldur's Gate.

Hello people, you may find this a little bit funny.

Last night i spent housrs and hours earching for this moonblade that I supposedly dropeed somewhere hunting for these hogoblins. I never found it.

Untill this morning after hours of searching asgain i revived Xan to find the bugger was still holding it. So those hours were wasted on searching for an item i had all along grrr.

Not impressed.

That is a tad bit funny. Guess that's cynical Xan's way of getting back at you for not reviving him for so long!

Yeah, though his aligment sort of wouldn't "alow" it, because as a Lawful Neutral he doesn't really is entitled to an outspoken opinion and just has to follow your excact orders, but also to leave when you get too heroic or too evil. But then again, we're talking about Xan here

I guess that the Moonblade is a personal NPC item, like Edwin's necklace or Minsc his hamster; it just comes with the character and you can't take it away.

So far I have not been able to sell it. Not that i want to sell it, but noone has even offered a penny for it.

For the most part, an item that personally belongs to an NPC really isn't worth much of anything.

TheAmazingOopah · Post by **TheAmazingOopah** » Sun Apr 10, 2005 2:30 pm

Yeah, I can understand why someone wouldn't like to cough up much money for a bloody rabbit foot, a battered old necklace, a glow in the dark toy sword or a smelly hamster... Though we are talking here about the most luck carrying object of the entire Sword Coast, a necklace that grants extra 1st and 2nd spells, the best weapon a mage can wield and the all-master of the universe: Boo, the great grand Space Hamster!!!!
Sadly, this often stays hidden to the blind commoner eye.

Well, tomorrow I'll leave to Sweden on a school exchange, so please don't get violent if I don't inmediately answer messages. How big will the odds be that I run into VonDondu and also recognize her???
I'll be back on Sunday.

Erenor · Post by **Erenor** » Sun Apr 10, 2005 10:02 pm

I would hardly call the Moonblade a glow in the dark toy sword. It does great damage and is perhaps one of only several +3 weapons in Baldur's Gate without mods or the TotSC expansion.

I'm afraid I don't understand that last remark. I'm in Texas, not Sweden. Perhaps you're thinking of C Elegans? She posted photos of herself in the SYM Photo Album, so perhaps you will indeed recognize her.

Aw, little mistake here. I thought to remember reading that you are from Sweden, and didn't bother to check it out once more. Well, that's kinda it.

Here is the general update for you all. Today I found I had TOSC expansion pack which I was loving so put that on my computer. That is about it really. However I have a question or thing I have found that is wrong with the sites walkthrough (please correct me if i am wrong). It is to do with the "Friendly arm inn" map/walkthrough where number 7 is located, it claims there is a ring of wizardry at this location (X:2555, Y:3759) i checked this area thoroughly and there is no ring in this area. Just thought I would mention it incase other people are searching for it.

TheAmazingOopah · Post by **TheAmazingOopah** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 2:46 pm

No, this isn't a mistake in the walkthrough. There really is a ring and you can find it. I can understand why you would think that it isn't there, because it really is quite hard to trace, due to the very small size of the hole. You have to move the mouse very steadily over every part of the tree, untill it turns into the 'pick up' -cursor.
I got it in an earlier save game, so I can assure you that it's really there. It's quite a useful item (especially if you give to Edwin, who also has his special necklace), but if you really can't find it, just move on, since you easily can play the game without it.

Oh yeah, make sure you're checking the right tree.

Demon_dave · Post by **Demon_dave** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 5:55 pm

Ok i went to the exact location as I quoted abover and it wasnt there. Which tree should I be checking?

A pine tree (do they have those where you live?)

Demon_dave · Post by **Demon_dave** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 7:24 am

Little Dwarf, I live in Wales, all it has is trees, hills and sheep! I was assuming that because the coordinates were wrong the person who wrote it mistook the tree aswell.

That is why i asked which tree to confirm what i thought was correct.

Curry · Post by **Curry** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 9:12 am

The ring won't be there if you have updated your game

Demon_dave · Post by **Demon_dave** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 12:12 pm

I checked the tree before i updated my game and after and it werent there on either occasions.

Coot · Post by **Coot** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 12:46 pm

The ring is there, even after patching/updating the game. And although it's true you can play the game without it, it is a rare and powerful artifact. Even if you don't use it you can sell it for a nifty 9000.
