Firetooth +5 crossbow bug? (possible spoil)

Oneiron · Post by **Oneiron** » Sat Jul 07, 2001 10:00 am

I just finished the Marching Mountain portion of ToB. I returned to the Pocket Plane to rest up for the next bunch of killing and asked Cespenar about my equipment. He went through his routine and found the Firetooth Crossbow in my inventory (it wasn't) and the Bowstring of Gond (that wasn't in my inventory either). So now I have the Firetooth +5 crossbow, not that I'm complaining but, has anyone else experienced this? I'm keeping the crossbow but, it feels like cheating. Anyone have any opinions?

The same happened to me at some point, though I do not quite remember when ... maybe while I was doing the preparatory quests for the battle with Yaga Shura. I definitely did not have Firetooth or the bowstring in my inventory, but Cespenar offered to upgrade it, anyway. Puzzled, I said no, and I don't think the option came up again.

Now that I do have Firetooth, Cespenar doesn't recognize it. Weird.

Yes, I haven't even been to the places where I could pick the items up yet.

It's kind of like that Brisk Ice Tea commercial (the Pat Morita, Ralph Maccio, & Bruce Lee one) "Ahh, editing error in my favor."

It could be a bug in the beta patch I suppose. I had to download the beta because not all of my NPCs were migrating from SoA to ToB.

In response to Nightfire,

I'm happy to know that at least you can't get two of the crossbows +5 because of the glitch. I suppose I'll use it in good health.

BTW do you have the ToB Beta patch installed? If you do, then we have two incidences of the glitch with the Beta Patch.

Thanks.

No, I don't have the beta patch. IIRC, it is only supposed to fix a few problems with Win2K, which I am not running.

And I'd rather like to have that +5 crossbow, thank ye so much.

Personally, I can't wait to see what the Baldurdash contributors are going to come up with for ToB.

YEAH! Thats exactly what happened to me!
finished marching mountain and got asked if i wanted an upgrade on my crossbow.

I said no i want to check other items that can use the bowstring... But what do you, it suddenly remembers that i dont have the bowstring. im kicking myself.

I actually have four Firetooth +5s (more if I wanted). That Cespenar fellow kept offering to make me more for 5000 gold pieces eventhough I had already used the Bowstring of Gond and the Firetooth +4 in an earlier upgrade... an offer I just couldn't refuse.

yeah, i had the same experience. Even after i upgraded the crossbow with the string of gond, Cespenar still offered to perform the service for me. i could get unlimited Firetooth +5 (if i wanted). i do have the beta patch by the way.
