Writing scrolls is the key!

First of all,
There's a spellbook limit per level for mages. It's INT-5 modifier. For example if your intelligence is 16 you can scribe 11 spells per level. But you can increase it with potion. The effect is temporarily but the spells are written permanent. Well, so you can memorize max 20 spells per level except level 8 and 9 because there's 14 8th level spells and 16 9th level spells. Well let's calculate

1000 Exp X 20
2000 Exp X 20
3000 Exp X 20
4000 Exp X 20
5000 Exp X 20
6000 Exp X 20
7000 Exp X 20
8000 Exp X 14
9000 Exp X 16

Total is 807.000 Xp

But I said 3.200.000 right?

Well, how many mages there's in the game??
(Yes, you need 4 scrols of per spell to let all your mages memorize)
Aerie, Nalia, Edwin, Jan.

So...

807,000 Exp x 4 = 3,228,000 Exp!

HMm intresting, may have to try that

So if in the forest look behind you, because that where the ranger is going to be

The ranger looked at the place out side of the elven town near the river, he looked near the rocks, then they showed the way ....

Grand-Jester of Laghing Hyenas
Currently in service for the Red Wizards

so like, where are you finding all these 7-9th level spell scrolls?

how many gp would this take to buy the ones that actually are available?

how much running around is required to acquire these scrolls (i'd love to find one place to pick up 3 or 4 spelltraps, spellstrikes, etc)?

3,200,000 divided by 6 characters is 533,333 apiece, which for most characters capable of obtaining such scrolls, is about one to two levels. and assuming you dont keep each and every one of the four, 500k is what you're wasting per.

you can make a pizza by tilling the land, growing wheat, planting tomatoes, raising dairy cows, constructing a kiln oven. or you can go to the store and buy the ingrediants. or you can call papa john's.

all in all very clever if it wasnt so darn useless. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

A question:
What's the difference between a sorcerer and a mage?

Answer:
807,000 Experience Points!!!

Well but all XP's you gained are divided to six. So is there any quest which gives you 4.000.000 Exp points? And even you can remove 3 person from your party for a while, and share xp with only 3 person or 2? So 2 million each.

Maybe you cant find 8&9 level scrolls anywhere but 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 spells can be found everywhere! SLums, Trademet (2 great spell shop), Wauken Promenade (Adventurer Mart and Spell store) and more.. Even without 8 and 9 level spells it's 807,000 - 150,000 = 650,000 Xp

And I'm sure that through the final (and after the final of course in ToB) you'll have lots of 8 and 9 level spells.

my point is while it is "possible" and even "allowed for", it's a bit like importing in a character over and over to get duplicates of unique magic items. technically you have to do the same thing each time to acquire them, so in an extreme (-ly lame) sense they are earned, but please... if you just want extra xp, use clua or shadowkeeper. far less wear and tear, same result, and that same great cheese flavor you love so much.

why dont you just cheat? exploit system is just as absurd

and your way, dare I say, is not the smartest

I dont use shadow keeper cause I dont like cheating. Importing items characters etc these things are all cheating but it's not.

Because it has a function to gain xp in a normal way. For example you found Imoen later and she's at very low level. You can let her advance level with this method. And even you disgraee you're gaining almost 1 or 2 million xp of your tottal xp by scribing scrolls.

I didnt really understand why youre so agressive bout that?

Ok, forget the argument of statistics, look at it from another point of view, how incredibily dull is it to gain experience by learning scrolls, Baldurs is for fun, not dull permutations and manipulations...

Zoltan, FWIW you also forgot Haer'Dalis, who can also get XP for writing scrolls.
