items galore

Keen means that the weapons has its critical threat range doubled.
So instead of having to roll a 19 or 20 to make a critical hit - one have to roll 17 to 20.

I have noticed that in single play that when crafting items using the Tomes that you can only make one...otherwise you get blasted by the chest you make the items in, For intance I tryed to make mulitples of the ring of resistance to elements in chapter 2 and made one with no problems but got blasted by the chest when making a second or third for 20-30hps. to my knowledge you can make multiples of smith items in single player mode but why would you? it is better to craft you items or upgrade them as you can than spending the effort let alone the money to make them you don't get richer by doing this. Just a thought for those who want to know.

Thanks for that...way cool...very helpful..

Other then focus crystals, these are the recipies for the Grinder in Drogans house, that I've been able to find:

2 fenberries and a bottle yields a barkskin potion
Tisha's practice sword and a quartz crystal yields a Tinomen greatsword (magical, but can't remember the stats).
Quartz crystal and the spores from the farmhouse yields a ring of disease immunity.
Quartz crystal and the heart of the Shadow Hart yields a Amulet of Lesser Health. (immune to poison or something, but aren't sure)

Erm, I'm not sure, but I believe you can "trick" the game into making two items for you (from marrok's forge). I'll check this myself at some point, but would appreciate it if someone else would confirm/check it for me . Anyway, I believe that if you get marrok to forge you a Desert Wind, then export the character, than import him again (in ch 1 of course), you can get him to forge you a second one (provided you've got the materials for it). This is, once again, unconfirmed, but I believe I've done it before, so I think that it works. This is best done if you've gotten all the reagents for the cure, because then what you do is, keep the reagents (do NOT give them to Aribeth), export character, make a new ch 1 with that character, get the pieces for Marrok, give Marrok pieces and get him to forge you a second scimitar, THEN give reagents to Aribeth. You don't waste too much time on quests you've already done (aka, the act 1 reagent quests), and you've gotten both your swords! I believe this works with the "upgraded" forge in act 3 even better, because that's at the start of the game anyway so no wierd quest messer uppers. Just make sure that you've got two reagents and two +1 Scimitars and I believe it'll work just fine.

The reason I'm not so sure this may work is because I'm not sure if Marrok "checks" to see if the game's got a Desert Wind, or whether he only checks to see if YOU'VE got a Desert Wind, or whether he doesn't check at all. It makes sense that he checks the world, because I've tried to forge another one after dropping the first one on the ground - no go. If that's the case, the above trick may not work either. If that's the case, well, the only other way I know of getting two Desert Winds is to "clone" them via multiplayer exploit . Sorry...

i've got just one question: it is posssible to travel from one town to another? I mean if I'm already in act 2, i.g. in southroad, if I come back to the city, it is possible for me to travel back to act I, in city core?

[kojocel]

i forgot to say : I've got a level 19 ranger. thanks a lot.

[Arturcic]

NO (no need for a longer explanation).

[MIKKYLD]

the recipe book says gargoyle skull and magic armor of AC 3 or more. I find leather armor +1 with AC 3 but he will not make anything when combined with the skull.

Is Lth Armor +1 not magical?

[Xandax]

It dosen't likely say AC3 or more.
It states a very specific AC score that has to be fulfilled to be able to make the item.
The AC listed is including the enchantment bonus, so make sure that your armour plus enchantment equals the listed score.

If you are certain you have the prober items (112%) then it might be that you have a bug. Can you create other types of armour (try by save/reload, so you don't waste items/money on it) and/or weapons?
Have you already had one created - because you can only get one created of each type in the chapters where creation of these items are possible

lastly - have you patched your game?

[MIKKYLD]

well it says it requires gargoyle and a suit of magic armor of total AC:3

As to patches, I just got platinum and assumed recent patches would be included. Not so?

Has anyone else made some useful items in the grinder ?
I feel this area need further exploration, and i wouldn't be surprised if there's an easter egg hidden here...

I've tried lots of stuff but haven't come up with anything yet.

I would think at least the Great Sword one could count as an easter egg
I've not seen references to other items made in the grinder, then the listed ones.

Since Barun Silverblade will enhance +1 enchanted items for 10000-30000GP, but only produce items that are worth a few thousand, I'm presuming that it would be stupid to make the weapons just to sell them (Like what I did in chap 1 with the dwarf) ?

[Arianwen]

This is very useful, and thoughtful of you to share!
Does anybody know what iron is for?
Thanks
