1) Whats the best weapon for a mage?
You are kidding right? Mages depend more on their spells than weapons. However if you are a Dualled-classed Fighter/Mage, then Katanas are the best weapons. 2) Any hints on how to beat the planar sphere? Any spells I might need to beat it? (besides fireball) Fire Elementals, Aerial Servants, Breach, summoning spells, etc... Make full use of your summons in the Planar Sphere, note also that Fire Elementals and Aerial Servants are immuned to normal weapons, very handy. 3) Whats the best robe for a mage? Or are there ANY good ones at all? Besides the obvious choice, Robe of Vecna, there is also the Robe of Magi( good/evil/neutral). ------------------ If not a Sorcerer casting total oblivion, then a Cavalier meting out justice.

For 1) : There's always the Staff of the Magi, assuming you can get your hands on it.

Spoiler?
/ / / / / / / / / darts are good for a mage, and there is also a robe that your apprentices make in the planar sphere. ------------------ Morgan Corbesant, Elven BladeSinger, Captain of the army of the Seldarine |

Best weapon for a mage is (of course) a ranged weapon.
Sling of Everard + 5 is the best ranged weapon that a mage can handle: BUY IT FROM JOLUV IN THE COPPER CORONET. Sling of Everard The sling of Everard was a holy weapon created by the god Tempus and given to Everard to help him defeat the enemies of Icewind Dale. STATISTICS: Equipped Ability: does not require bullets THACO: +5 bonus Damage: +2 (missile damage) Weight: 0 Speed Factor: 0 Proficiency Type: Sling Type: 1-handed Requires: 3 Strength Best Melee weapon for a mage is the Staff of the Magi: This can only be got from a class independant mini-quest Staff of the Magi This type of staff is thoroughly linked of the image of the spellcasting profession, rare though it is. It is among the most powerful tools that a wizard can possess, the culmination of complex enchantment and endless study. This particular example is good in melee, grants Invisibility, and offers protection from Charms and Evil. It can also cast a Spell Trap, launch a Fireball-Lighting Bolt combination, and Dispel Magic. The quintessential mage item. STATISTICS Armor Class: +2 bonus Saving Throws: +2 bonus Equipped Abilities: Invisibility Immunity to Charm Protection From Evil Fireball-Lightning Damage: combined lightning and fireball damage Range: 150 feet Use: Three times a day Abilities: Trap Spell Duration: 8 hours or until 30 spell levels have been trapped Use: Once a day Combat Ability (each hit): Dispel Magic THAC0: +1 bonus (strikes as a +5 weapon) Damage: 1D6 +1 Damage type: crushing Weight: 4 Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Quarterstaff Type: 2-handed Requires: 5 Strength Usable By Mages The best robe (and it is a VERY GOOD ROBE) is the robe of Vecana and this can be bought from Deirdre in the Adventur Mart: Robe of Vecna This robe doesn't even have close to the power that the two famous artifacts, the Hand and Eye of Vecna possess. Still, from simply being worn by the powerful lich, the robe absorbed enough magical energies to become a potent magic item. STATISTICS: Equipped Abilities: AC: base set to 5 Improves casting speed by 4 +10% Magic Resistance Weight: 3 Only usable by: Mage (single, dual, & multi-class) Be prepared to spend a lot of money - but these items are worth it!
