Candlekeep

[Schubert]

Haven't been into the Inn yet. Was just visiting houses and tutorials but i went into one house where the guy said i couldn't get back in after saying i wanted to leave. The guy who teleports enemies in and says it's too dangerous to do it again. That was annoying, that i missed it and can't get back in?

Not even sure what it was for. Help? either way.

The point of that was to teach you combat with multiple characters. It's been forever since I've done that...but yeah, I think you only get one chance to do it. There are no rewards for doing it...without exploiting at least.

There aren't any rewards or reason to do it. It's just designed to help players get their feet wet using a group in combat.

I tried to exploit it by moving some items from the extra party members to my character. When I left the area all the items I gave myself were gone.

theres nothing really important in candlekeep, a couple hundred quest XP maybe 200 gold. and an achievement for doing everything.

Well, I am currently playing with a Half-orc Barbarian with charisma 18, and I left candlekeep with more than 2000 gold :)
Now, I believe that only thieves and barbarians can do it, but it is a lot more than 200 gold.

Well...to "exploit" it you have to move the items onto your character and then export them. Then start a new game and import that character. You will have the items yet. Though there isn't anything really outstanding to be had in there. So I view it more as a waste of time.

The quotes are around exploit since keeping items and experience was intended from the export/import process by the devs...so it isn't really an exploit. Just feels like one.

Eh, true. I personally have no desire to exploit the "export" function. I simply go into Baldur's Gate and premake characters and import them into whatever playthrough I want to do.

I was hoping to get the wand so I could sell it at the Inn without exporting.

You must have been strong enough to bash open the chest in the middle room upstairs that has that expensive gem.
