Cloak of Balduran...?

Bristowe · 05-19-2002, 04:20 PM

It's not legit'ly possible to have this item in SoA or Tob is it? It was one of the best items in BG1 (25% MR & +1 AC/Saves) and I've always been looking out for it everytime i played BG2 but never seen it anywhere. So am i right?
Cos I hate being right

andrewas · 05-19-2002, 04:26 PM

yes, your right. But there are some damn good cloaks out there, and you could always add it in if you wanted.

Bristowe · 05-19-2002, 04:49 PM

Yeah, thought so.. damn eh?
Used to give that cloak to Vic. She pratically becomes immune to magiks...haha oh well, i'm importing it in with SK, I'v finished the game enough times to do this with clear conscience.

You could always drop it before Irenicus takes your stuff in the dungeon when importing from BG1 [img]smile.gif[/img]

I dont think thats possible...stop trying to confuse them!

Lol you CAN do it blue.. just pause the game and then drop all your items as soon as the game loads up

LOL! Interesting technique, even though I've never tried it...
I think the only item that can be carried over from BG1 if it's on your character are the golden pants.

Not quite: If your PC had the Claw of Kazgaroth, you'll find that in the same bookcase where you'd normally find the Helm of Balduran. But, if you do that, you won't find the Helm of Balduran, and I think we all know which item's better.

I would hack the Cloak of Balduran into the game only after I'd reached ToB, as the Cloak really is too overpowered to be in SoA. (Well, if it just set your base MR to 25%, it'd be OK for SoA. If it was plus 25% to your current MR, it's definitely ToB-only.)

I think I read on the Bioware website that if you import a character who has lots of good items then you have a greater chance of finding better items in SoA.

A question- what's a bag of holding? (I don't have SoA and trying to borrow it from my friend at school is like trying to get blood from a stone.)
