Looks like I'll have to come and spam your thread with NWN questions anyway, because no-one's being any help here.

No, I'm playing it.

I am more than happy to post in two threads.

I know, but you haven't been much help so far.
Well, apart from all your help getting me onto Folderol.

All right then. Who do I talk to to get all the herbs converted into potions?
Will I be able to create my own sword, or have I wasted the points I've put into Create Weapon?
How long should I kill Nettles for? How tough do you have to be to get anywhere else in the world? Without dying frequently I meant.
Why has my mouse knackered itself, leaving me to browse 'poly with the dumb scrolly pad, and effectively denying me Folderol all evening?


I'll think up some more questions later.

You convert the herbs into potions yourself at a fire. You need high lore or you'll fail a lot. It's worth doing if you do have high lore as you can save a fortune early on. Potions are very powerful for low level characters especially.

Create weapon suxors. Beg Jam to respec your character to something not so lame.

Kill nettles to level 5 or so then explore a bit to the North East and West of the start. At level 8 or so (depending on class and how leet you are) you can kill ettins in the North for ubar xp for a few levels. Then the next good xp area is the ants. An entrance to the caves is handily placed next to the ettins.

You need a better mouse. I recommend the intellipoint series, which is optical with a scroll wheel but not the horrible new fat explorer shape.

[Jamski]

Create weapon is great for customising your appearance only. Therefore it is great period.

I reccommend you don't hunt nettles to level, but enjoy fighting goblins and stuff that are level-appropriate and more fun than running in circles for xp.

[duke o' york]

And where do I find me some goblins? Thanks for returning to the thread by the way.

I've got a fairly decent mouse, but have never needed to instal anything for it yet.
I'll try to download the right driver and then have a go. If not, it's back to the mouse shop for me.

[duke o' york]

Bumpity bump!

Whereabouts can I create a nice magic weapon then? Once I've got the cash, and the ingredients that is?

[Jamski]

You can't. You can customise the APPEARANCE of any weapon you find though.

[duke o' york]

So the skills "Create _______" are entirely useless then?



I's gotta find me a new skill.

[Dis]

yeah I wish you could create magic items with it. Oh well.

I told you it was lame.

[Jamski]

The creation feats can be handy on a secondary character that just makes wands and potions for your rogue or something...

[duke o' york]

But I wanted roleplaying fun by creating my own Spellsword's magic death for all monsters, and then "growing" with it.

It won't be the same with just any old sword that I can find/buy, but I shall carry on. Where did you say the goblins were again?

Yes - mouse is finally working properly again, so I can play! Yay!

[DrSpike]

Make your own sword, and then get Jam to put it in the game. No need to waste effort getting lame-o-create skills.
