Good luck finding those items without getting the location from others

. The hidden items were different in BG2 since the hidden locations tended to be considerably bigger (although the items were considerably more useless).
If you want to find out stuff about BG1, do it by playing the game and not by following cheats/guides. As cool as it is to have 2 rings of wizadry (believe me, I've looked up the location of the second ring as well and picked it up in the past), there really is not much good in having 16 first level spells, etc. The game can be played straightforward without the few extra quirks that exist.
