Yet another bleeding BG thread *sigh*

You never will find it unless you read a walkthrough.

Or alternatively spend eight hours scanning every section of the map with my mouse until it turns into a pick-up icon?

[Jamski]

Even then you'll miss it. Its about 2 pixels across.

Hai carumba! Who first found that then? Or did Bioware give away all the secrets after the game had been out for so long?

I think someone looked though the files and found its location ingame.

Its a VERY overpowered ring, you don't want it. It doubles spells. NASTY evil spells.

Nice sig BTW. Its from me though, putting words in Alva's mouth.

Nice Double post.

Well, as you can see from above, I have absolutely no qualms about misquoting people in my sig.

What does the ring do exactly?

[Jamski]

Fixed

The ring doubles number of 1st and 2nd level spells the wizard can memorise (If I recall correctly, Gatekeeper doesn't show the item descriptions)

That's incredibly powerful!

Maybe next time though. Or I might wait until right at the end of the game and go and pick it up. Just before I have to fight the meanies.

In BGII I find stuff like that by hitting tab constantly to make them flash. That would certainly work in TuTu, but I presume BGI's normal interface doesn't have that feature?

[Jamski]

You presume correctly. Its a pain.

I wish I had bought BGII at the same time, so that I could take advantage of all the upgraded features.
Never mind, we're doing this the hard (and really slow, admittedly) way or not at all! Then I can get stuck into BGII and NWN. Oh God, what have I done? Taking the advice of Jamski has murdered my free time.

Why don't you run BGconfig and turn the game speed up from 30 to 45 or even 60, if time is an issue? I always play BG1 on 60 (i.e. double speed) and the other IE games on 45. Otherwise you spend a lot of time watching your guys walking slowly

What's BGconfig, and where do I get my paws on it?

[Jamski]

Mine is in C:\Programme\Black Isle\Baldur's Gate and called Config.exe

Comes with the game.
