recently, i decided that it was time for me to once again play through the entire BG saga. so, grabbing my BG1 discs, blowing the dust off, i installed the game (full install this time, and i have to say it is a lot better).
i created a cleric, who i plan to sub to a wizard sometime in SoA.
now, after a while of playing, i decided it was time to go ahead and earn some additional levels before trying Durlags tower. where did i decide to do this? well, after much carefull consideration, the cave where the wyverns live was my place of leveling. why? 1400xp per easy kill, a wyvern head to boot, and the possibility to go outside and rest undisrupted.
so i started killing wyverns.
chromatic orb and two rings of wizardry made this all too easy, so after about 10 wyverns, i decided that if wyverns where this easy, durlags tower could never pose a real threat.
so i went to sell my wyvern heads, and after a bit of searching for a shop, i came to the sorcerous sundries, and indeed they bought my wyvern heads.
minsc carried 4 heads, and the nice man at the sundries payed me 400 gp for each of them (i sold them in one batch, of course).
now, kivan had six more heads, but when i tried to sell them, he only offered me 200 gp for each, so i thought to myself, this is wrong. so i gave all the heads to minsc and tried to sell them again. again only 200 gp. reloading my game, i discovered that if i sold all my heads in one batch, he would give me 200 gp/head, but selling them in multiple batches earned me 400/head for the first batch, and 200 for the others.
after a bit of research, i discovered that this system works for almost all items, if a shop allready has some of it in stock, he will offer far less for them than when he has none in stock. so carefull planning (and perhaps some buying) before selling loot could net you quite a lot of cash.
i don't know if this is true for SoA or ToB as well, but i think it could be.
