Yes, the Blacksmith in Bergoest will make you a Ankheg Armour, I think it costs 4000gp. However you have to get the right sequence in the dialog. If you sell him the Angheg Head he will make an armour for someone else! If you refuse to sell it to him, he makes you the alternative offer of making an Armour just for you. 10 days later it will be ready for collection. Go get it Teval and good hunting.

It is also a very good armour....

It is exceptionally light, and boasts the armour class of a much more expensive suit....

The only disadvantage, as some may percieve it, is the green colour that it comes in...

Also, killing the Ankhegs in the first place, can be tricky at the wrong levels

One more disadvantage, al be it a minor one, is that the Ankegh armor is considered magical and therefor you can not combine it with rings, cloacks or amulets of protection.

That ain't what I'd call a 'minor' disadvantage, JR. [img]smile.gif[/img] Normally I prefer unenchanted Plate (not even Full Plate, just Plate) to magical stuff such as the Ankheg armor, because I can just give the unenchanted stuff to my Cleric (who has a godly AC anyway), and the Full Plate to my other Fighters. But I will use the Ankheg (or the Plate+3, in ToSC) if
A] I've got a Fighter/Druid (maybe even straight Druids can wear it, too)*
B] More than 4 folks in my party can wear the heavy stuff, or
C] I like the color. (Ankheg and Amnish helmet, or Plate+3 and Helm of Glory.)

*I'm not too familiar with Druids yet. They can use Scimtars now, and even though I think swords are totally contrary to the Druid role, they actually make the class a lot more playable. To me, anyway.

Hmm they refuse to give me a offer fore the armor after i sell them it

I have try with all 4 in the Smith place and chat with them after sold it

is there a quest do do before i should sell it .

No, Teval, there's no quest. The trick is to REFUSE to sell the heads. That lets Taerom know you're not a moron who'll sell 4 Ankheg heads for 500 gp, and so now that he knows you're a wily customer, he will make you a better offer.

Since this is not logical, I'd like to change the Ankegh plate so that it is not "magical", does anyone know how you do? I opened it with the Item maker (its item file PLAT06), but could not find the relevant box. The "magic/unbreakable" box was unchecked, so that's not it.

Just out of interest, where did you find the Ankheg armour??

teval · 11-30-2001, 02:42 PM

Here in Nashkel, you can also find an Ankegh Armor and Pearl in the western most side of the map. It is just next to a pine tree which is near the western most farm plot. Finding it will be tough because it is rather camouflaged

Stil cant sell the armor or getc him to made me more armors and i am use unpacted balders gate orginal version
