i read that he has gauntlets of weapon expertise, and i wanted to get them.

I'm not sure those were on Tazok. You can meet him by finding the bandits in the woods and pretending you want to be one too. They'll take you to Tazok, but...

No they are not on Tazok, nor is it at the bandit camp.
Don't think so any way. If I can stretch my memory I thought they were on some Ogre in the SE??? Help me out here.

- Gauntlets of weapon expertise are in a fighter in Firewine ruins, if you challenge him (and kill him too http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif) you´ll get them.
I cant remember if they´re on Tazok too or not, i killed him once in the bandit camp but i cant remember which items did he have, plus i killed him with a wand of frost, that might destroy items.

I'm pretty sure Tazok has Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise. (I know they are not Ogre Strength and pretty sure they are not Weapons Skill... so I think they must be Weapons Expertise...) There is another pair of Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise on Melium at the Firewine Ruins as well.

Immediately after Tazok talks to you pause and target him with an arrow to turn him hostile. Then kill him. He's not that tough actually.

He does appear later in the game, but killing him now doesn't affect that. (Hey, every temple resurrects for a price. Why wouldn't the bad guys be able to do this also!)

yep, according to the item list of the cre file for tazok (from infinity explorer) he carries these items. but they are not included in the count, so may be only effects, i guess killing him will show you if they are on him or not. interestingly, the cre file for tazok2 - where you kill him for the finish, he doesnt have them.

Were you thinking of Tazok's servant Mulehay in the Nashkel mines? I forgot what kind of of gauntlets he had originally, but I've installed DSOTSC and this time he gave me gauntlets +3 to hit and +3 to damage, only usable by clerics.

No. We are not talking about DSOToSC. In BG and ToSC there are no such items like gauntlets+3 (if you got it at the beginning of game you can no longer say it is balanced).

(There are also 2 pairs of gautlets of weapon Skill - +1Thaco)
