Balduran equipment

VitisVinifera2 · Post by **VitisVinifera2** » Tue Jan 16, 2001 3:47 am

So I went to Diedre, the bonus wench, to buy that crucial Shield of Balduran for Korgan, who already has the Helm of Balduran. I notice she also has the sword and plate armor of Balduran, and I've seen in a post a reference to a cloak of Balduran. Has anyone equipped all the Balduran equipment, and if so, did anything neato happen? For those of you who play Diablo 2, you know what happens when you assemble an equipment set (Sigon, etc). Please share your opinions..........or experiences........

Actually, the cloack of Balduran ain't available in this BG - just in the BG1

Still, it is in Shadowkeeper, along with some neat tomes (from BG1 those too)

no you wont get an extra skill level or more ressistance but still it is kind of cool to have a complete set.

The Shield of Balduran makes killing Beholders almost too easy.

Yeah that's why I got the shield of Balduran......the -4 AC bonus isn't too shabby either.
It would be pretty cool, if in BG3, there were scattered pieces of equipment with some insane legend behind them, and if you assembled them, say a sword/axe, shield, helmet, cloak, armor, boots, gauntlets...that you would become that person, or gain their powers (perhaps an NPC). So the cloak is in BG1......for Balduran then I have seen the Helm, Shield, Sword, and Plate armor.....are there any other pieces? There's a butter knife too......heh

I have heard there is a chastity belt too, but never seen it

The cloak of mirroring makes the shield almost obsolete.

...or maybe you could find a hammer, a girdle and some gauntlets and they make some amazing artifact? yeah, that would be cool.

does anyone here remember the sword of balduran from bg1? pretty funny if diedre was selling that for upwards of 20000 gold pieces.

I think the set bonus is +2 proficency in fashion, unfortunately you need the golden platoons to get the grandmastery in this. This is however, not implemented in any way through the game (save the romance I guess).

As I recall, the Golden Pantaloons now come with the Magical Zipper of Chastity +1.
