Hi 8Ball,
What kind of bow are you choosing for your Archer? Long, short, cross? If either of the second two, get a VERY GOOD one before leaving. Short bow Archers will want to finish the Trademeet quests to get a +3 Shortbow with unlimited ammo, while Crossbow Archers will want to save up an extra 22,000 GP or so to buy the Firetooth from the priests atop Watcher's Keep (this one only for ToB people like you).
Long bowmen are a bit out of luck. Even slingers have an unlimited ammo weapon ... oh well.
Once you have your bow of choice, feel free to head out to Spellhold. You won't regret bringing three or more scrollcases full for Imoen to memorize... and remember that she won't know any spells from Irenicus' dungeon, since her re-capture was so traumatic that it wiped her memory [img]tongue.gif[/img] or some jerky little cowled wizard used some of his enchantment spells on her [img]tongue.gif[/img] or something like that.
If you're worried about the battles, just make sure every tank has at least one +3 or better weapon he or she can use in battle after Spellhold. Here are some easy ones:
- +3 Two-Handed Sword: Lilarcor
- +3 Club: Blackblood
- +3 Staff: Cleric's Staff or Martial Staff, very common; one is handed to you in Spellhold
- +3 Flail: Flail of Ages
- +3 Axe: Frostreaver, Rifthome, Azure Edge, Stonefire
- +3 Spear: one is handed to you in Spellhold - +3 Bastard Sword: Foebane
- +3 Dagger: Neb's Nasty Cutter
- +3 Short Sword: Sword of Backstabbing
- +4 Scimitar: Hindo's Doom
- +4 Staff: Staff of Rhynn
Hope this helps!
