Does Edwin have an NPC quest?

He was involved in the thief guild issues of course, but does he have an NPC quest after you resolve that mess and can pick him up in the copper coronet?

I'm sick of finding +4 to +5 weapons that AREN'T longswords, btw.

 

At least you're finding +4 and +5 weapons. My best weapon is still the Flail of Ages. Korgan is using a Battle Axe +1, Valygar his family blade, Minsc a +1 or perhaps +2 blade. Most of the creatures I'm meeting up with now need +3 or better to hit. It's so annoying having 3 main fighters going in with no effect. Switch them to bows and the same blasted thing.

Syl...

 

I'm in the same spot, the best thing I have is the flail. Most of the time I'm hearing "My weapon has no effect?!". And of course, I can't afford the +3's in the Adventurer's Mart. Oh well, we'll muddle through won't we

 

I don't understand what the big deal about that flail is. Maybe if I had somebody with 3 or 4 stars in flail I'd like it. As it is, Minsc just carries it around to deal with the occasional troll.

 

My character is specialized in Flails and Maces along with two handed fighting style. Once I find a mace for his other hand, he's going to be something else!

Syl...

 

Yeah, I'm wishing I didn't have a ranger specialized in longbow/longsword. If I'm fighting undead, I've got good longswords for that, but nothing that is really good general purpose.

Archery just isn't that useful anymore, everything is immune to missiles, or has their own ranged attack that just stomps all over an archer ( garths for instance ). I just wade in with boots of speed, holy might, and 2 longswords.

 

I got bored and started over with a ranger. Dual weapon katana specialized kicks ass. There aren't that many good katanas out there but there are twenty more then the longswords.

 

Hey Syl,
I'm not even as far into the game as you and I have better stuff than that! Aren't you picking up anything? Why don't you have better stuff?

 

Well, that all depends what you've done as I may be doing other quests than you at the moment.

This is what I've done so far:

Irenicus' Dungeon
Waukeen's Promenade District (no purchases)
De'Arnise Hold
Umar Hills & the Temple Ruins there

I'm currently working on Planar Sphere.

I just found a Battle Axe +2 for Korgan in the Sphere and I missed out on the items in the Golem Room in De'Arnise Hold.

Syl...

 

Argh!
How do you FIND Edwin?
Thanks.

 

Hey Syl, you can check out the Copper Coronet slave quest. The sewers below the C.C. have a small quest that grants a +3 two-handed sword.
As for maces, trust me, there are some SUPERB maces in later stages.

 

Woo-Foo: I finished the game and found ONLY ONE +3-4 (cant remember exactly, but better than +2) longsword. Except from drow eq, that are of no use when you leave the underdark, thats about it...
There is also a +3 katana to be found (a SUPERB weapon, has some fantastic special abilities, and its d10 ).

However, the way I see it, Black Isle hase purposedly toned down the long swords, because, lets face it, if they had +4 and +5 longswords scattered all around the place, every character would specialize in long swords (after all, they deal good damage with a low speed rating...). Anyone who has played p&p ad&d knows that, eventually, all fighters are armed with longswords (except from dwarfs perhaps).

well, blackrazor in the abyss at the end of the game is a +3 longsoword (does not help before the very end of the game though =) then there is the blade of roses, the equilizer, and that is all I know of, still that is 3 plus 3 longswords.... there are two or three plus 3 bastard swords too, I think there were two of them just in the underdark. I think the scimitar proficiency has the most plus 3 or better weapons total, with 2 hand swords being second, and maces being third.

 

Crom Faer is awsome.. you know the hammer, that you need the frost str belt, ogre gauntlet and a hammer of thunderbolt then the scroll to have it made.. but its worth it, it gives the use 25 in strenght.. kills a few beasty in one hit.. don't remember all the spec tho.. but I think its considered a +5 weapon, like the staff of magi
