Hi m8 - welcome back http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

So you need money eh??? The biggest problem of having a full party is that it is so expensive to equip them all as you'd want to... Personally I used to go into every house and kill every enemy to get their money and sellable item... You'll find you get money for completing sub-quests and even just hiding in barrels...

At your current stage in the game there is no way you should be able to afford the top quality armour... There will be some money for you in the mines but after that if you go for a wander round the map you'll find many other sources of cash to aquire...

Alternatively there is a branch of Lloyds Bank just west of Beregost that are offering 6.9% fixed rate loans until 1370 (Baldur's Years)...

Cheers

P.S. When you kill an enemy don't just take their money but some of their stuff to sell... After a while you get used to how much things can be sold for and collect different things... Gems are often useful as you can hold many in the same slot - other than that armour gets you a bit of cash - but that is counterbalanced by its weight (as gems are by their many varieties)...

Ta Velvet

my latest hitch , is that the gezzer down the mines wants a ruck, but its not just him, a load of his skeleton friends keep giving me a kicking http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/redface.gif

should i get the other mage a ditch Minsc girlfriend ?

Also managed to get my whole party in the line of fire of that lighting wand http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/redface.gif
needless to say reloaded again http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

so tips for the last bit please

yours herbal law( im getting better ,No your not you will be dead in a minute)

i used a fireball spell to kill the skeletons and kobolds that were summoned all at once
and dont muraley geezer (or summat like that) yield when he asks, KILL him cos he'll just change his mind again, which was a bloody pain

Personally I used my strongest fighter against the guy down the mine and the rest of the party to attack the kobolds and skeletons... It all depends on what stuff your party has but I found this more effective than just using everyone against the evil dude (wish I could remember his name http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/stare.gif) and getting attacked from behind...

I found it important to split the guy and the skeletons and attack them as two seperate groups (although at the same time)...

Hope that helps...
