can i make it with whatever belt i already have(i'm a barbarian13/fighter4/frenzied berserker3 so far!) even out of an enchanted one like the frost giant strenght belt already equipped or only out of a brand new one?
is it enough to put in the enchanted safiya's sachtel a pristine essence(or radiant i don't remember exactly)and the belt and cast "mold feat" upon it to get the +10 strenght belt?

i'v managed to solve the issue myself!
i'v just made the belt+10 strenght with okku's essence(i'v used 3 brilliant essences if i remember correctly)out of the frost giant strenght and did work:the result is a huge +10 new frost giant strenght that raised my strenght up to 33 with +11 modifier!!
with a two-handed sword(enhanced only +3 so far) i think i'm on the right way to become a real war machine!

ps
any hints on how to manage the spirit hunger without always worrying to find a spirit to devour every few minutes?

2 ways you can go about this:

1. Do the "woodman" quest (given by the witches) fairly quickly and do the "good" thing, while trying to never slurp a soul (except undead via the shadow temple which should be done after fighting Okku.). Note that if you kill him this really isn't your "path" (i.e. see #2).

2. Go to the little girl's village and learn to do the "bad" thing, slurping souls as often as needed.

There really isn't any "middle ground" here - a mid-level meter craving isn't much more than a full meter craving, however a non-existent meter craving is notably less than a full level craving.

thanks for the replay!
is it better to kill everybody inside the ice troll lodge(which is not a piece of cake) or to choose to pass the tests they give(i'v already tried to do that once but didn't manage to survive the huge fight)?
as far as Okku is concerned ,i'v already chosen to kill him and try to completely follow the total evil path,so i will have to choose the 2nd path!

Good lord man, you are E V I L!

Do what comes naturally to such a character!

The fight can be very difficult, there is no reason however to do this until its time for you to go to the academy (much latter in the game), so wait until your group is more powerful.

Cast mind fog in several areas before the fight and then at the start of the fight cast various disabling spells to incapacitate the group.. The group "sleep" spell seems to work rather well against them. Of course make sure you have plenty of heal potions for everyone.

I found fighting the entire lodge easier than defeating Sergei (or whatever that sleeping guy's name was).

well,i was sure that smashing everybody inside the ice troll was the best thing to do for a died in the wool evil character,but ,as i said before ,the fight has turned out to be more difficult than i thought!

is it better to have an AC of 42 but less strenght(27)(with a long sword and shield both equipped) or an AC of 36 but with a two-handed +3 sword and 33(+11) of strenght?
considered that i'm a barbarian wielding a two-handed sword.....

more opponents, generally better to have more ac.

few opponents - go for the quicker "kill".

so it's advisable to switch a two-handed weapon with a long sword and shield according to the number of opponents?

i didn't manage to find any recipes about how to enchant weapons with the essences so far!
where can i find them?
or will i find a very powerful two-handed sword +7 or +8 somewhere without having to enchant it on my own?

which items stack with the ac bonus and which don't exactly?

..its *generally* advisable to switch FROM a one-handed weapon (or a two-handed weapon with Monkey Grip) - TO a single two-handed weapon without shield (or off hand weapon) WHEN you have only a few opponents unless one of those opponents is *really* difficult. (..and the "switch" to a two-handed weapon is most useful with Improved Power Attack and in particular with a Frenzied Berserker's Enhanced/Supreme Power Attack.)

Do a google search on "NWN 2 Crafting". By FAR the most powerful weapons in-game are those you craft (usually with the help of one of your companions).

Wow.... I had no trouble with Sergei on DnD Hardcore(or most of MotB for that matter.) But, I don't recomend killing Okku unless you want One of Many, because the the essence is pretty much usless because of the two Storm Giant belts (+10 strength) and the fact that you can't have more than an unnatural +10 modifier to any atribute. And if you don't want to have any trouble with spirit energy, simpily only use supress in the presence of 2 or more spirits.
