i began playing BG2 recently and have with me a particular walkthrough given to me by a friend. this walkthrough mentions beginning the game with a fighter mage and adding minor spell sequencer in on of the 4th lvl mage spell slots. but during character generation i have only upto lvl 3 mage spells. is the minor spell sequencer available anywhere in BG2? what about other spell sequencers? the earlier i can come across one, the better.

A sequencer isn't available at character generation, IIRC, so the walkthru is wrong. The minor sequencer can be found fairly early in the game however. Sequencers DO make the game easier at higher levels, but are hardly needed early in the game. This walkthru must be of the 'powergame' variety.

ok, so it is available in the game early on. where is it? i;m currently doing the quest of the unseeing eye and am at the moment in the undead village.

Hmm...

Go to the City Gate District and find the man that will lead you to Tradesmeet.

Actually ElfBane, I believe that if you start a new mage in BG2, you can choose minor sequencer as one of your spell picks. However, it has been a long time since I have played a mage so I may be wrong.

Otherwise, I know I have bought it in a store somewhere, just don't remember where. :(

Sorry to not be of more help!

@D. Slaytern: i'll check it out...

@Griefmaker: is it perchance the adventure mart?

I honestly can't remember, but I am pretty sure I found it in the promenade (sp?). However, it has been a while since I have played this game, so I may be mistaken.
Good Luck!

I know the walkthrough you're talking about, and if you're following it (or any walkthrough the first time) you're ruining your experience.

Anyway, the reason that character can pick the minor sequencer spell is because he's importing from BGI. If you import your guy from BGI, you will start with more experience in BGII. You'll start about a level higher.

There might be one in the Spell Store by the Den of Seven Vales. (I think that's the name. It's on the right side of where you came out originally).
