Random Items

brianbarou · 08-17-2001, 01:38 AM

Is there a way to control or change the Random Item issued? Example: Kesselachs tomb level 1. Kill the mummy, open sarcophagus and get stuff including one Random Item; Light Crossbow, giant halberd, heavy crossboe or diseased halberd. I have done this 7 times and received the diseased halberd every time. That does not seem random. Do you have to do something special? I have tried quick save/ restart and save game/ load game. No luck. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Same thing with me. Don't know how. Do recommend Dalekeeper.

What is Dalekeeper? Where do I get it? What does it do? Thanks

Dalekeeper is an editor. Easy to cheat with it but also can recover things lost to glitches. There may be a link to it on this site or try TeamBG.com

it's tougher to get that random item. Random items will be assigned the first time you enter an area. You had to talk to Kresselack once, then leave to kill Lysan, then returned to the tomb to claim the reward. The First time you entered the room and talked to the ghost, the random item was assigned. When you come back to claim the prize, it's already been decided. No saving and reloading will change the items cuz you already set it when you entered the room the first time.
Hope that clears up the confusion here.

Leafy, Thanks for the comment. In my example, the Mummy on level 1, how far back in the game do I have to go to reset the Random items? before I talk to Mytos? before I enter the crypt? Again, thanks.

Before you enter the map that the mob is on. For the mummy, that would mean right before you enter the big crypt, as he is on the first level of it.

I have a problem with Random items. I always recieve the Girdle of Beautification, Glimglams cloak and others. They have all been the same for the 4 times i have played the game through. Is it my party configuration?

Nah, just luck. Far as I know, your party make up doesn't influence what you find. Most random treasures are set up to have some items be more common than others though. If something has a 50% chance of being there, well, in 4 times, that's a 6% chance of the same item all 4x. Low, but not that low.
