My first rude surprise when starting to play TOB was that I would be playing on a new map. All the cool stuff I had stashed in the docks district of Athkatla is now out of reach. At the very least, I could have sold a bunch of it off and been rich. Oh well, I'll have to build up my stash again.

You should stash your llot in CC for example and in chp six get it back...use Shadowkeeper or CLUA

U could have just takin all u needed in the bag of holding etc.. and sold the rest. [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img]

The Copper Coronet is actually a bad choice, here. You see - there are two seprate area files for the inn - pre-release & post-release. If you stash anything in the pre-release one, it won't be there after the, well, release. :D As a side note - same goes for the de'Arnise Keep.

I forgot to take stuff with me when I went to Suldaneselar. It never occured to me about what would happen when the game was over, I was too caught up in the story. I had the bag of holding and a lot of empty slots, so I could easily have brought a lot of things with me. After I started TOB, I wasn't going to go back to a saved SOA game and run back to Athkatla, then run back to the elf city and go to Hell all over again. I'm not going to CLUA the stuff back in inventory, I like to play the game straight. I forgot the stuff, it's my loss. My team will get me through. There's a lot of items you can pick up in this game, I see already, and my monk is a wrecking machine that will get them for me. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't worry about losing the value of the items really. Your bags will be overflowing with +2 and +3 items its crazy how much money you can make. If it's the power of the items, there are only a few items that you might really miss, and those you probably had on you through the underdark and suldenesellar. You will find very powerfull items that will make you forget about all but the best SoA items.

Like the Equalizer. what a dissapointment. After its forged, you have such a short time to use it, and even then there are better choices. especially in ToB. but i keep in in my backpack because it just looks cool.

dulouz.

It's not your fault that the game won't let you travel to the Docks District any more, and I certainly don't recall the game giving you any warning, either. ("Welcome to Suldenessellar! Population <s>1127</s> <s>483</s> 39! Did you remember to gather up all of the items you might want to carry over to ToB?") I don't see anything wrong with a little CLUA action, if it's just to get your stuff back.

And you don't need to CLUA every individual item: Just select your whole party, say
CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("AR0300")
And whammo! Docks District. I just leave my stuff in Renal Bloodscalp's Guildhouse--the Pocket Plane has lousy storage, so if I jump to the Pocket Plane, CLUA to Renal's ("AR0305"), do my inventory-shuffling, CLUA back to the Pocket Plane, then leave the Plane to go back to Tethyr, where's the harm in that?
(Make sure to write down the Area Code for the Pocket Plane before you go, though.)

I'm still in Suldanesselar, and already I've added 9k to my bank account plus +6 armor for Jaheira, while stocking up on +3 and +4 bullets and getting Anomen a new +3 mace (I lost the Skullcrusher somewhere in the Underdark. I searched forever and couldn't find it. Don't know how that happened). So far the fights seem to center around taking out the opposing mage, which isn't difficult since I have two mages of my own.

I meant Saradush, my bad.

Or even just a tip in between loading screens. Something like that. That would have been easy and seamless and wouldn't have needed some out-of-character 'bring all your goodies first!' statement on Elthan's part, or whatever.
