| About this whole treasure thingi...
Early on in the game it's quite difficult to cobble money together. You need a ton of stuff and no money ..2 +1 weapons (if dual-wielding), a sash of shimmering, armor, etc etc. And it dosen't get easier as you go on... A cloak of Movement costs 25K, not cheap and so on..
NWN has certain breakpoints for treasure in boss chests..(Hide Covered Stronboxes).. Lvl6 is the earliest you get decent stuff (Cloak of Elvenkind, +1 Armor/Weapons). Lvl9 is the earliest for Artifact Weapons (Belt of Gaint Strength, Thayvian Circlet, etc..)
Lvl11 is the earliest for Boots of Speed. My strategy is to loot all the smaller boxes and keep all the strongboxes till I hit lvl 9. Since I play solo, that is towards the end of Chap1, then enjoy!. You'll never lack for money again...
As for reloading while looking for specific items, I wish the game was like BGII where you had to do something specific to get an item..like the Guarded Compound or Twisted Rune. Barring that..we don't have a choice. But it still annoys me ..and apparently IWDII has this same c@#p random system..  |
