Miscellany

Ankheg shells
You can sell these to:

1. Taerom at the Thunderhammer Smithy in Beregost for 500gp each. Alternatively he will also offer to
make one of them into Armor (AC 1) for 5000gp, this will take 10 days

2. Fenten in a locked house in W Baldur's Gate for 250gp each

Autograph
It has no purpose, though you can sell it for 50gp to Officer Vai (for the duration of Chapter 3 only) in the
Jovial Juggler in Beregost or for 25gp to any vendor who buy scrolls.

Baldur's Gate II
If you have completed Baldur's Gate & the Tales of the Sword Coast and your main character has certain
items in his/her inventory they can carry them over into Baldur's Gate II. You can bring one item from each
list (below) which is presented in order (i.e. if you have two items from one list, the item higher up the list is
imported). There is a default item for each list so that if you never imported an item from each list you will
still get something in BG2. You should consider carefully which is the best of each list if you are playing the
whole saga through to Throne of Bhaal. Also note that you should hang onto the Golden Pantaloons (not
listed below) as they will also carry over into BG2.

Location, location, location

At any time during the game you can establish your location by pressing "L". The dialogue area near the
bottom of the screen will give you your Area (e.g. AR1700) and your Location (e.g. x=1025 y=629).

Manuals and Tomes

One of the most common questions asked: the locations of all the stat boosting books. Ask no more.

1. STRENGTH - Manual of Gainful Exercise - tomb in Catacombs L1 beneath Candlekeep [Ch.6]

2. DEXTERITY - Manual of Quickness of Action - barrel behind Black Lily, Thieves' Guild, E Baldur's Gate

3. CONSTITUTION - Manual of Bodily Health - pool in Black Alaric's Cave, Lighthouse

4. INTELLIGENCE - Tome of Clear Thought - bookcases on 6th floor of Ramazith's Tower, N Baldur's Gate

5. WISDOM - Tome of Understanding # 1 - Marek's poison quest, talk to Chanthalas Ulbright in the Lady's
House in W Baldur's Gate

6. WISDOM - Tome of Understanding # 2 - tomb in Catacombs L1 beneath Candlekeep [Ch.6]

7. WISDOM - Tome of Understanding # 3 - altar in chapel on 3rd upper floor of Durlag's Tower, TotSC only

8. CHARISMA - Tome of Leadership and Influence - crate in Tome Cave, Gnoll Stronghold

NPC Reaction
According to the manual whenever you talk to an NPC the computer rolls a random number from 8 to 12. It
then adds your Charisma and Reputation modifiers. A high numbered result may bring better rewards but
equally could prevent NPCs from offering you unsavoury quests. Although the manual talks about random
numbers, I have a theory that the number is actually 10. On this basis you can work out your NPC Reaction
value as follows:

value = 10 + (Reputation Reaction Adjustment + Charisma Reaction Adjustment)

A Lawful Good starting character (Reputation 12, RRA = 0) would therefore need a Charisma of 18 (CRA =
+5) to obtain Fuller's magic dagger in Candlekeep as a reward for his quest.
 A Chaotic Evil starting character who had killed a nobleman on the 2nd floor of the Candlekeep Inn
(Reputation 6, RRA = -3) would need a Charisma of 19 (CRA = +8) to obtain the dagger.

You can temporarily boost your Charisma with the Friends spell.

The Reputation Reaction Adjustment values in the manual are incorrect. Below are the correct values:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
-20 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4

Random encounters
Location code: AR2900
Waylaid by enemies: Mini-Guide

N: Peldvale (AR5900 - 20%)

E: Spider Wood (AR5900 - 20%)
S: Temple (AR5900 - 20%)
W: Coast Way [Chapter 3] (AR5900 - 20%)

This indicates the chance of being "waylaid by enemies" when leaving the current map by the stated
compass direction. In the example above if you leave AR2900 (Larswood) via the southern edge there is a
20% chance of being ambushed and ending up on map AR5900 instead of your chosen destination
of Temple.
