I must be missing a lot in this game, and I'm already most of the way through playing it a second time (trying out a bard and monk this time instead of a rogue and ranger) without ever having encountered any kind of magical bard instruments, a Fungus Figurine, Dust of Disappearance, the composite longbow, or most of those magic swords. I'm curious as to how the magic rods like the White Rod and Gray Rod work; it also took a lot of money and XP to create one of each Ioun Stone to figure out what they all did. Antonio's Mace, which belongs to one of the priests of the Fire Temple, is worth 800+ GP when I try to sell it, but it doesn't seem to have any magical powers. What exactly is it? What is it supposed to be? The Rope of Entanglement is also worth a lot of money if sold, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it does, either. Plus, I gather that Elven Chain is considered "light armour," even though it's not listed in the book. My bard can wear it without a non-proficiency penalty, but it interferes with his spells. The book states that light armour does not hinder a bard's spell-casting ability, yet it's pretty obvious that it does. Am I missing something? Also, is anyone else perplexed by the prerequisites for adding certain kinds of enchantments to magical arms and armour? I mean, if I want to make a burning sword, what more would I need besides the (almost too obvious) Burning Hands spell? Is there some chart in the game's code that can be easily extracted so I can figure out how to work these in there?
the loun stones are listed in the patch faq, plus you could have just saved, crafted one, loaded, repeat... you know its not really cheating since your character cannot create an item he does not know the use of... As for fungus figurine... i had it, i think i found it in the moathouse or something equaly early.... they offered me a copper for it... (it could summon a kick ass fungus once a day...)
s p o i l e r the fungus figurine is found in the rainbow rock in emeridy meadows. the rope was supposed to entangle one creature i think, but it doesnt work. i dont think there are any bard instruments in game at all, other than the one you could get off that bard npc you find in a random encounter. that wizard in the tower in hommlet has some dust of dissapeance on him,( i cant remember his name for some reason) and i think you can make it with the craft items feat. there is also another figurine where you kill that fish, its below it somewhere a few trees down, just keep tapping tab, it is very small but worth finding.
