Where are the items worth buying for a Fighter? Spoilers, obviously.

Pyrenk · 08-26-2003, 09:45 AM

I'm a level 7 pure-class Fighter. I've just recently arrived in Baldur's Gate, and I have 50,000 gp burning a hole in my pocket...but I have nothing to waste it on

My equipment:

-Helmet of Defense
-Ankheg Armor
-Ashideena Warhammer/Varscona & Large Shield +1 (I'm going for Six's gold suit

)
-Boots of Speed
-Girdle of Bluntness
-Ring of Infravision
-Ring of Animal stuff (the one that charms)
-Algernon's Cloak (I have heard about how powerful this is, but I never imagined this

)
-Gauntlets of Weapon Expertise

I think that's it.

He also has the Boots of Avoidance and the Boots of Grounding in his inventory, in case I need them. Total AC is -5, proficiencies: ** in Blunt, Large Sword, and Small Sword. I'm going to check out Sorcererous Sundries soon, but I doubt they have anything I need.

Buy a full plate armour, drop the 'animal stuff ring', find a +2 cloak or ring.

We all have too much gold in the end

. I once tried to get rid of the gold by buying potions. If you want to, you are able to get buffed quite a lot before each large battle [img]smile.gif[/img]

I was going to buy Full Plate, but I don't have a decent ring/amulet. Even a +1 would make it -6, however, and I can get both in Beregost...

I'm going to try to get the Plate +3 now. I have 2 out of 4 golden items (SixOfSpades

), and am very close to obtaining the helm.

have you got tales of the sword coast?

the shop in ulgoth's beard has a couple of pretty powered items

Pyrenk · 08-26-2003, 12:51 PM

Not paying attention? The Plate +3 is only found in Durlag's Tower, which comes with ToSC.

I have just obtained it, btw...it looks so cool ^.^

I'll check the Ulgoth's shop out now.

Pyrenk...I never bought any stuff for my fighters, the items we got in the course of the game are good enough I think.

also, some missle weapon protection stuffs may come in handy at times, besides Boots of Avoidance, in one of the BG city quests, you can get a very good +4 against missles shield. alos, there's a great vs. missle TOTSC cloak.

mmm...maybe add Cloak of Balduran? a fighter (especially a solo one) also needs good magic resistance it also has bonus to your saving throws.

I'm currently using the Shield of Falling Stars; it's part of the golden ensemble.

I wasn't saying that I didn't have good items, I was just wondering if there was better equipment that could be bought.

I'm trying to get the Cloak, btw.

Cloak of Balduran + Helm of Balduran gives a nice bonus to your fighter. And IIRC, the sword of balduran is also in TOTSC, and makes for a nice weapon.

I concur with InsaneBane. Except for upgrading your armor and trading your Ring of Animal Influence for the Ring of Energy, you should load yourself up with potions of strength, healing, speed, and invulnerability. Don't forget potions of magic blocking (I think those make it so that all your saving throws are successful) and the various scrolls of protection.

Which is why I don't understand their hunger for more. You don't get respect (from decent people) for having money...
