what items for a hippy party

karlosovic · 01-12-2003, 06:17 AM

level 9-10 party of nature freaks

Me - Druid-avenger
jaheira
Tashia (sorcerer NPC mod)
Faromir (my own fighter/thief dual class (fighter closed at lvl 8)

also have minsc and Aerie but going to swap one soon for Cernd when i go to get my stronghold, also considering mazzy, but i dunno.

the top 4 are staying (as will Cernd), who do you recomend for the 6th member, considering my theme and what jobs are unfilled ? (won't be keeping Imoen once i get her back from underdark)

other question, what weapons should i give them (including weimer item upgrades)
I have very little experience with druids (only used jaheira a few times) so any hints or tactics would also be welcome

a BIG suggestion, get the ease of use mod with shapeshifter rebalancing, you wont regret it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

karlosovic · 01-12-2003, 06:38 AM

do I need to install it before starting a game or can I install it just before I go get Cernd ?

im not completely sure about that one. i think you could install it already even though you are already in the middle of the game. just check the manual to be sure.

getting crend with shapeshifter mode is a big + factor and wont let your down. without it, in the last stages of the game, he would just be a burden then a helper.

It's a small vessel much like a bottle with an open top and a cone shaped attachment at the end of a side mounted stem. Only weapon a party of hippies will ever need. Well, that and a warding gesture with middle and fore fingers extended and palm facing outwards. [img]smile.gif[/img]

On a more serious note, there's a mod called Weimer's Item Upgrade which has a number of cool weapons and items that are tailored towards druids and clerics. I'd recommend:

Staff of Elemental Mastery +5 (up there with SotR and SotM)
Pitchwife +5 (as opposed to Fulcrum +4)
Impaler +4 (missile version)
Water's Talon +4

There are a number of other items which will benefit any class but these are the obvious choice for druids/clerics.

[Edit: It seems you already have the items upgrade. Oh well. Peace Man.]

You cant use the vessel weapon without the Grass of Confusion, and a fire based weapon.

karlosovic · 01-12-2003, 10:39 PM

roflmao. nice one you two.
thanks for the tips btw, don't spose you could point me in the right direction for the pieces to make them ? (which is actually what I should have asked to begine with as the item upgrade readme lists the items themselves)

impaler I know (saughin city ?)
staff of fire... planer sphere ?
other staffs ?

scimitar...underdark and trademeet djinnis yes ?

no clue for the clubs though
also what are the best slings ? (need about 4/5 of them, I normally just find a few sling +2)

Pyrenk · 01-13-2003, 06:56 AM

Gnasher is right at the entrance to the druid grove, kill the Shadow Druid with a name. Blackblood is on one of the merchants after you kill the Shadow Druid (finish the quest).

Klutz · 01-13-2003, 01:00 PM

For Slings, if you install the Bonus Merchants you can buy the Sling of Everard +5 from one of them (no ammo required, actually strikes as +5 weapon). Sling of Seeking +2 is probably the next best because it is the only sling that adds your strength bonus to damage... combo with a Girdle of x Giant Strength for maximum effect. I think Bernard (Copper Coronet bartender) sells it after you complete the Slaver's quest. After that, unless the Ease-of-Use mod adds any funky slings, I think you're just looking for the best "Sling +n" items... I think Arla's Dragonsbane is a Sling +3 and the Sling of Arvoreen is +4. I don't remember where those two are found though.

Just a quick note on the "Ease of Use" Mod. It DOES work with a game that is "already in progress". After gaining a stronghold for my assassin, I decided I should actually go back and finish the original game that I started over a year ago.

My party are all at the 20+ level (except for Jan) and I quickly noticed that I could "stack" unlimited numbers of arrows, sling bullets, and darts in single slots. Very handy since most of the party had almost all of their slots "filled" already.
