Spoiler/Spoiler request-Item upgrade compilation

[Throntar]

I'd like to gather together a compilation of all of the items that can be upgraded in ToB. Unfortunately, I only know of a few...and I'd like some help from all of you folks to complete it. So...please list below any items which you know of that can be upgraded. Please list the original item as well as the finished item and any components needed...if you know/remember the components.

Here's the ones that I'm familiar with:

• Holy Avenger + some gem upgrades to ?
• Bladesinger chain + Scroll of Prot. from Normal Weapons = Agelanser's (sp.?)Elven Chain (immune to all normal weapons)
• Cloak of Protection +2 + Scrolls Improved Haste & Invisibility = ?
• Flail of the Ages can have 2 additional heads added[/list]
  I don't know of any others...a little help here? BTW, I'd rather not have someone tell me all about the pantaloons. I already know enough about that to not know what the end result is...Thanks!

Cool. Thanks guys! I look forward to the others Larry...

So...Gimmick...did you have Cespnar make the improved Flaming sword? Do you know what the "improvements" are? I belive that in SoA it was a +2 sword which was +3 vs. cold-using creatures and +4 vs. undead/regenerating???

You have a cheat book already? Didn't see any at the store when I was purchasing ToB so I wasn't aware that they had it out yet. How much did it run you?

You mean I'm supposed to put something intelligent sounding here?

The flaming sword I mentioned isn't the same as the BG2 one. This one is called "Angurvadal", and is one of the better weapons I've found.

*Big Spoiler*
:
:
When improved, Angurvadal has the following stats:
+5 to hit
1d8+5 damage plus 1d4+1 fire damage
gives wielder 22 strength
gives wielder negative plane protection

[Gimmick]

I've found some more upgradeable items:

Runehammer + rune = improved runehammer
Taralesh + bowstring of gond = imp. taralesh
White Dragon Scales = White Dragon Scale armor (allows use of stealth!!)
