To see the items, all we need is "Near Infinity" or "Infinity Explorer". As for the locations, just open Dan Simpsons Walkthrough, in a text editor, and use the "find" feature of that text editor (like MS Word, or Wordpad). His walkthrough is quite extensive (about 400 pages), and he includes tons and tons of item locations. Including where quest Items are found, and what to do with them, and where the forger is.

All contributions are good, and welcome.

If you want a little more help writing your guide http://www.gamebanshee.com has a pretty detailed list of ALL the items their locations and has the in-game screenshot descriptions of the items. I don't think they give you the cost. If you can improve on that go for it!

I am using Infinity Explorer to compile the guide, to find out items I've missed and the exact stats - cost, lore etc - for the items. Infinity Explorer is an invaluable utility, I've had it since I bought BG1 last year.
The descriptions are my own, not copied from BG2, I've listed how useful the items is, useful strategies with it, other items that are useful combined with it, etc.
I don't intend to put quest items that can't be used for anything else, like keys, in the guide, just usable magical items. The guide is going to be more of a strategy guide combined with a list of locations and stats for the items.
However for items that need assembling I've listed the components you need, where you get it assembled, and how much gold it costs.

So far I've done most jewellery, all weapons except blunt and ranged, and all clothing except for boots and gauntlets.

As I said, I might make a BG1 and P:T guide in the future. Not IWD though as the random treasure and large number of "generic" magic items make a guide less useful and interesting.

I know that I'd appreciate a guide like that.. would prove very useful indeed. Keep us informed of when you have this ready.
