- We get it for free. There are not a heck of a lot of places to get free file hosting.

- We ARE working on adding more mirrors, it just sometimes takes a few days to get the word out to our friends and such.

Personally, I prefer working with 3DD to working with Fileplanet. Our files are published _instantly_ and I quite often get first-click DL access. No, not always, but sometimes.

BTW, Texas tends to be the best mirror for me.
Try www.sphosting.com to set up a mirror; although the bandwidth limit might be a little annoying...

Great idea, the dungeon is one of the things that stop me from re-playing BG2 loads, it's just so boring.

BTW, will it work with TDD?

This is a wonderful mod but I was wondering whether a more comprehensive item list can be added in the readme file?

This is just from memory, so I may miss out a few items, but does this mod still give you the following stuff besides the Sword of Chaos +2, all 6 Wands, Girdle of Bluntness, Dyrad Acorns and the Mail of the Dead?,
  1. Bastard Sword +1, loot from Cambion
  2. Longsword +1, loot from table in the Sewer Golem Room
  3. Katana, loot from the Equipment Room
  4. Dagger +1, loot from the Equipment Room
  5. 5 Arrows of Biting, loot from an Elite Goblin
  6. 6 Composite Long Bows, loot from any Goblin Archer
  7. 2 Oil of Speed Potions, loot from the library and one other location
  8. Helm of Infravision, loot from the Otuyagh(sp?) Room
  9. Helm of Balduran, loot from the First Trapped Room
  10. Pommel Gem of the Equaliser, loot from the Mistress Room
  11. Potion of Master Thievery, loot from the Mistress Room
  12. Ring of Protection +1, loot from the Wand Trap Room
  13. Potion of Firebreath, loot from the Doppelganger Room
  14. Scroll of Protection from Electricity, loot from the Doppelganger Room
  15. Etc... ...
These are just the items, I have not covered the scrolls yet. Give me a few hours to go through JI's Dungeon and catalogue the stuff.

A list of the items that he gave to me:
10 Potions of Extra Healing
Mail of the Dead
Girdle of Bluntness
Ring of Protection +1
The 6 Wands
Sword of Chaos
Dagger +1
Longsword +1
Helm of Balduran
Helm of Infravision
Dryad's Acorns
Pommel Jewel of the Equalizer
Bastard Sword +1
Metaspell Influence Amulet
Bracers of Defense AC 8
Quarterstaff +1

A bunch of scrolls:
Dispel Magic
Flame Arrow
Fireball
Dire Charm
Chromatic Orb
Protection from Electricity
Knock
Hold Person
Invisibilty (Yes, the spelling is incorrect, that's how it's done on the scroll)

In addition to these items and scrolls, I also got 1,000 gold and 60,000 xp.
Edit: As you can tell him to wait, getting the equipment from that first room is rather easy. Just run over there and grab it. Therefore the Katana from the first room doesn't really need to be given to ya =)

60,000 Exp? I got far more than that. Here we go.

Okay, here comes an insane list of stuff that nobody will bother to remember. The good thing about Jon Irenicus' Dungeon( JID) is that most of the items are fixed and so is the experience. Only the Goblins give random loot, while the Mephit Portal can mean more experience. For the Mephit Portal case, I will only assume that four Mephits were killed.

The following list is what I experienced just now, so the gold amount and the random loot will vary from game to game. I recommend that for each unenchanted weapon, the player can get up to a maximum of six of them, depending on how many are in JID in the first place. Unenchanted ammuniton, I left out because I believe it can be taken for granted( 40 each will be enough).

1210 Gold Pieces

Weapons:
  • (04)Arrow +1
  • (05)Arrow of Biting
  • (03)Bastard Sword
  • (01)Bastard Sword +1
  • (37)Battle Axe
  • (14)Bolt +1
  • (06)Bullet +1
  • (01)Club
  • (19)Composite Long Bow
  • (02)Dagger
  • (01)Dagger +1
  • (30)Dart
  • (02)Flail
  • (02)Halberd
  • (01)Heavy Crossbow
  • (01)Katana
  • (02)Mace
  • (03)Quarterstaff
  • (01)Quarterstaff +1
  • (07)Light Crossbow
  • (05)Long Sword
  • (01)Long Sword +1
  • (01)Morning Star
  • (03)Scimitar
  • (04)Short Bow
  • (06)Short Sword
  • (07)Sling
  • (02)Spear
  • (05)Throwing Axe
  • (20)Throwing Dagger
  • (02)Two Handed Sword
  • (04)War Hammer
Armour:
  • (01)Bracers of Defense AC 8
  • (05)Buckler
  • (04)Chain Mail Armor
  • (01)Girdle of Bluntness
  • (03)Helmet
  • (01)Helm of Balduran
  • (01)Helm of Infravision
  • (12)Leather Armor
  • (01)Mail of the Dead +2
  • (06)Medium Shield
  • (02)Small Shield
  • (03)Splint Mail
  • (01)Studded Leather Armor
Jewellary And Gems:
  • (01)Black Opal
  • (01)Gold Ring
  • (01)Metaspell Influence Amulet
  • (01)Pearl Necklace( aka 300 gold pieces)
  • (01)Sphene Gem
Mages and Bards should take note of this scroll list, so that they can select spells in the beginning properly, and maximise their experience gains from scribing scrolls. The scrolls in this list are always present in JID.
Scrolls:
  • (01)Armor
  • (01)Blindness
  • (01)Blur
  • (01)Burning Hands
  • (01)Charm Person
  • (01)Chromatic Orb
  • (01)Clairvoyance
  • (01)Color Spray
  • (01)Conjure Air Elemental
  • (01)Dire Charm
  • (01)Dispel Magic
  • (02)Fireball
  • (01)Flame Arrow
  • (01)Grease
  • (01)Hold Person
  • (01)Invisibility
  • (01)Knock
  • (01)Know Alignment
  • (01)Larloch's Minor Drain
  • (01)Monster Summoning I
  • (01)Protection from Electricity( Green Scroll)
  • (01)Vocalize
Other Items:
  • (01)Acorns
  • (01)Agni Mani Necklace
  • (04)Elixir of Health
  • (03)Oil of Speed
  • (01)Pommel Jewel of the Equalizer
  • (17)Potion of Extra Healing
  • (01)Potion of Firebreath
  • (25)Potion of Healing
  • (01)Potion of Master Thievery
  • (01)The Six Wands, one charge each
Random Loot From Goblins:
  • (02)Andar Gem
  • (01)Armor scroll
  • (01)Burning Hands scroll
  • (01)Friends scroll
  • (03)Identify scroll
  • (01)Jasper Gem
  • (01)Mislead scroll
  • (01)Protection from Normal Weapons scroll
  • (02)Sunstone Gem
Total Experience Gained = 135372
Note that if you are evil and choose to kill the 3 Dyrads, you will gain an additional 2922 Xp and three of the following, Dagger, Antidote and Potion of Healing. This also means that you have just set up a hostile meeting with the Fairy Queen.

It should. You would want to install it after TDD. And if it doesn't work, we blame TDD. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Oh, and DS: I've pointed Blue to this list. I know that her goal is not really to give you EVERYTHING you could have otherwise received, but it's always possible she'll add a few more things and up the XP total for the next version. Still, getting half the XP and almost all of the good items just for sitting through some dialogue and a teleport sequence or two... 'tis not so bad, eh? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Impressive, Dundee!

How did you figured out the Random Loot?
Killed many Goblins?

BTW Dundee, Check the "Most Deadly Creature" thread...

Heh, heh, it is not even possible to haul everything out of JID even if you have 6 people in your party anyway, but you can take out most of them, hence my request for up to a maximum of six of each item wherever applicable.

Ergo, if there are only 3 Bastard Swords, then give 3 Bastard Swords. If there are 7 Bastard Swords, then give 6 Bastard Swords.

The reason for 6 is simple enough, because people might want to have a theme party( 6 characters) and doing it this way will cater to everybody. If the item list does not cover everything, it will restrict the player and force him/her to do JID all over again which will defeat the purpose of this mod.

Heh, heh... it was fun doing JID just now though. I made an Archer and finished it in an hour( took two hours to write everything down [img]tongue.gif[/img] ). Minsc was the sole tank while Robin the Tester, Jaheira, Imoen and Yoshimo were archers. Never have I seen so many arrows and bullets fly in the air. Surprisingly effective too, since Robin was killing Goblins in one hit at 4 attacks per round, not counting the assistance from the others.

Still, I would love to have this mod. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Heh, thanks.

At this point, I must emphasise that this is the random loot from one game. In other games, you will get different random loot. I only included them to give a more complete picture.

It is not unheard of to find level 8 scrolls from the Goblins such as Simulacrum, Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting, etc... but since it is totally random, it is hard to determine how to best represent them.
