Originally posted by mad=dog: The best bows before Chap 6 (Gesen/Mana) must be either Tansheron (+3, no ammo) or Tuigan (+1, 3 attacks). I am not telling you where to look, just that once you have found these there is no need to look any further. There is a good blade for sale called Blades of the Roses. A certain sword near the gates will help you greatly against a specific type of opponents.

I have never figured out what is so great about the Blade of Roses. It's THACO bonus is nice, but I don't really care for it's "extra ability" at all. It might be handy for a Bard or a Paladin (classes which require a high number in that stat), but I don't see any practical use for it with any other class. There are just too many other swords with MUCH better abilities available.

I definitely agree with the sword at the City Gate. DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!!!

Since you don't mind being spoiled SxE, here is a link to the most informative site I have found regading BGII --> Baldur's Gate II at GameBanshee

That specific link will take you directly to the Weapons Page, where you can look up every single weapon available in BGII. You can also get detailed info on every class and race, and the walkthroughs are very nice too (if you like that type of thing).
