9:01 Abishai Hide let's Fighter/Cleric multiclass PCs and Rangers (like Minsc and Valygar) get to 100% physical resistance too, not just Barb and Dwarven Defender. Armor of Faith 25% (the spell), Defender of Easthaven (20%), Hardiness 40% and Abishai Hide (15%) make exactly 100% physical resistance. Of course, because of low caster levels of rangers, it will take them longer, 100% only comes at 5.7M XP. Additionally, not just "any fighter ethos" can get damn close to 100% with it as it's not usable by Paladins, 12:46 Ankheg plate in BG2 doesn't drop as far as I remember, but there are Ankheg in Windspear hills that drop the scales and Cromwell can forge the armor for 5000g. 13:21 IMO the best part about Ankheg Plate mail is that pure druids (Faldorn) can use it. 17:31 Ashen Scales are from Bodhi's Lair (Chapter 3), *not* Umar Hills. 21:24 Corthala Family Armor fun fact 1: it's a chainmail that looks like studded leather. Fun fact 2: In classic BG2 you are able to equip this on a Fighter/Mage, Thief/Mage (and Fighter/Cleric I think) if you meet the stat requirements which is pretty amazing imo. However, in BG2EE it is only usable by Valygar. 24:13 Dark Elven Chain +1 comes from the Viconia Romance, a handmaiden of Lloth hunting her drops it. 29:49 Firecam Full-Plate Armor - I don't agree with the rating. Inquisitors are already immune to some effects that free action protects against (which is not mentioned here), though the part of not being able to be hasted is only a problem if you forget about this, which is a *player* related problem, not the item. Full plate +2 with added saves and free action, really strong item to get for free early on for Keldorn, although of course it gets outscaled eventually. Fun fact: Monks can use this in classic BG2 if they meet the stat requirements.

Silver Ion Stone can be incredibly useful for one reason in Ascension. You can recruit Balthazar to fight the final battle with you if you have 19 Wisdom (even if you are evil). Drink a wisdom potion and wear this stone and you get your 19 Wis. Balthazar makes the final battle a hell of a lot easier, especially with SCS on insane.

Those HP regeneration items are good to swap in and out of before resting or traveling between maps because the game calculates how much you would have healed in that passage of time. 1hp/round is garbage in real time, but that's 10hp/turn, or 50hp/hour, or 400hp/rest, which is good for a full restore.

2:30:37 You can get as many Rings of Fire Control as you want. Just rest in the same area where you kill the Insane Dwarf Warrior that drops the ring. Usually you get an encounter with Umber Hulks but sometimes the rest encounter will spawn the same Insane Dwarf Warrior droping the ring everytime you kill him. I managed to get 12 rings, and entire party inmune to fire!

Just saying but Darkmail +3 can be worn by barbarians at a point when they really have nothing better to use. Basically until the Chosen of Cyric encounter and that is only if you are using the mod. Doomplate +3 is also good in Spellhold if you install the big boy component from SCS where your items are taken from party. It's used in Spellhold including the Irenicus encounter. Similarly Ring of Regeneration is also very relevant in Spellhold when you install the SCS component which makes Bodhi hunt you. You can't really rest so that +1 HP / round is a good way of regenerating wounded characters while walking.

I am trying to finish some new games (or at least newer than BG) and your guides popping up from time to time each time I hope I forgot about BG for a while are making that so much harder than it should be:P My favourite class is Cavalier (mostly because of charm it has more than any particular class feature, although for lazy people like me immunity to charm and poison is amazing in BG1 and immunity to fear + almost unlimited remove fear kinda works great). But i still use it wrong because I also love to use Keldorn so no point of ever using buff spells (AoF i DuHM) because in harder fights I would need it most it would be dispelled anyway:P But yeah even so every time I try to finish game with any other class sooner or later I delete char I play currently to restart as cavalier:P But that all is neither here nor there. My main point was thank you for all of your hard work. I learned more about this game from mostly your videos (but also few videos of 2 or so other creators, one guy did made completionist playthrough of entire series god bless him:P). Turned out that despite playing those games for years as a kid I knew surprisingly litle about them. Can't believe I used to love swashbuckler instead of fighter-thief not knowing that with no helmet AC is not worth all that much because every other crit will delete me and that I have number of attacks so limited my damage and thaco ain't worh that much (may have as well play something like Viki and hit stuff with buffed strenght at least I would have helmet then^^)

Awesome!!!❤❤❤ 15:01 The Armor of Missile Attraction...according to the description for the Reflection Shield, it will reflect a SUCCESSFUL missile attack...this would be prefect, with an AC of 15 ( 🤣 ) to missile attacks...😮 22:28 According to the Wiki, certain classes can wear this armor without Use Any Item if you meet the stat requirements. 🧐 24:43 This is dropped from the Handmaiden who comes after Viconia, if you're romancing her. 2:15:26 If you're using a scroll of Clairvoyance, this will reveal the entire map, above or below ground. No fog of war. (but of course, enemies are still invisible) I've read from 2 different sources that this helm will show you evil creatures (red glow) in a map within your sight range, even if you don't have line of sight, (like they're in the next room) thus allowing you to know where your enemies are. The setup seems iffy, but in theory this could be of value in setting up ambushes and such. 2:37:11 And Mass Cure. Dan, you've mentioned before how you think Mass Cure was lame? It's NOT. It works if the party is Improved Invisible. 😮😮😮

I really have to wonder why. The mod is there to rebalance rogues, but it adds an entire set of ToB worthy items for all classes? Da fuq? Arguably it's needed because of how crazy SCS ascension is, but it still seems like a strange decision.

1:18:00 Davaeorn, the Wolfsbane charm isn't in BG2. It's in BG1 on the Isle of Balduran, Dradeel gives it to you after retrieving his spell book I believe. It's been quite some time since I've played BG1 though so I may be misremembering however.

I think a lot of magic armor is worse than normal armor and a +1/+2 ring/cloak of protection, until you get some really good armor or other rings and cloaks, which is a big ask for 6 characters. Also any item that gives even a tiny amount of HP regen is good for healing to full on an 8 hour travel.

There's an option on Tweaks mod that lets you change protection items and armor restrictions. Dav has it on magical armor and one protection item allowed. He had it for so long this way he probably forgot to put a disclaimer, which is a big oversight. There are very, very few magical armors that are worth it over a +2 ring or cloak. In vanilla it's imo only human flesh and red dragon scale.

@@Anterwaare306I was unaware of this mod (I only play vanilla on a tablet). I agree though, unmodded, I think most of the time you’re better off with mundane armor and a ring of protection for better saves, unless the benefit from the armor is especially good.

Ever thought about covering some of the counsel only stuff like special ammo, selunes blade, cow spell or gorion magic missile/lightning bolt? There’s some weird stuff like the belt you can toggle to plate armor. The bow that shoots fire wielded by phoenix guard. Some other oddities to a necklace that functions as boots of speed with blur sw1h99 gets you sword of chaos bg1. Can’t remember everything but og BG had some weird things you could mess around with.

The restrictions for rings, cloaks, and necklaces of protection make regular armor and a ring better than most magic armor. The trade-off of giving up saves is hard.

I really like the "helm of opposite alignement" in BG1. Mostly because I prefer playing a good party, but I also want Viconia on my team. So with this nice headgear I don't have to check my reputation all the time in order to prevent Vicci from running off. Also its kinda funny to be a good guy, but giving someone a cursed helmet to break their free will.

The Visage is great. Static immunities are S tier for when you lose your buffs, plus Chosen of Cyric and Watcher's Keep Level 3. Always keep them. The Acid Breath is great since Save vs Death at -4 or be knocked out for 2 rounds on mages.

2:18:52 I like putting Vhailor's Helm on my Archer. If I'm fighting a boss that can be hit with +3 I'll have both the Archer and the simulacrum holding Tuigan Bow for the APR, then I rain Called Shots until the boss collapses from stats death (Called Shot drains strength after level 12.) Sometimes happens before the boss has even fallen below half HP.

To pipe in on the Periapt of Proof Against Poison, I've found a really amazing use for it in Spellhold on No Reloads. The Gesen Bow room with the golems that spawn, I will equip it on the best archer (I usually run with the Kivan mod anyway) and plink away while they can't get out of the door. Any way to safely do that room on No Reloads is absolutely welcome to me.
