I am using Infinity Explorer to compile the guide, to find out items I've missed and the exact stats - cost, lore etc - for the items. Infinity Explorer is an invaluable utility, I've had it since I bought BG1 last year.
The descriptions are my own, not copied from BG2, I've listed how useful the items is, useful strategies with it, other items that are useful combined with it, etc.
I don't intend to put quest items that can't be used for anything else, like keys, in the guide, just usable magical items. The guide is going to be more of a strategy guide combined with a list of locations and stats for the items.
However for items that need assembling I've listed the components you need, where you get it assembled, and how much gold it costs.

So far I've done most jewellery, all weapons except blunt and ranged, and all clothing except for boots and gauntlets.

As I said, I might make a BG1 and P:T guide in the future. Not IWD though as the random treasure and large number of "generic" magic items make a guide less useful and interesting.
