Short of coins...again

[levelworm]

I really need some advice to earn more coins to maintain my party of six and its lavish spending habit (which includes purchase almost everything from the Adventures' Mart and every scroll that I can lay my hands on and as many potions as possible).

So far I'm out of Underdark and looking forward to completing all the quests in the city. I just purchased Balduran's Shield for the Unseeing eye's quest, and I'm short of 10,000 coins to get Vicna's robe, which is not a big problem as I horded a few Rogue's stone in my bag of holding.

My estimation is that I need at least 100,000 more coins to satisfy my shopping hunger. How can I get that 100,000 coins?

Have you been to Watcher's Keep yet? That place is loaded full of goodies... you can probably do some of the earlier levels without too much effort and cash in the loot you get from there.. and maybe even get some better weapons for some of your party members in the process.

Good idea! I'm considering to finish the matters in Athkatla and proceed to WK.

Give your Thief some pick pocket bonus potions.
Sell expensive items.
Steal them back.
Find a black market merchant.
Resell stolen goods.

I find that a little scummy. but yeah you right out of the first dungeon you can get jan jansen give him dunno 3 potions of master theivery and go to the theives guild fence.

sell them the rods you got from the dungeon, steal them back, fully charged. repeat until rich.

your money supply can go along way by simply robbing vendors though. in ToB I had way too much money from the random loot on the ground.

also the enhanced edition party member quests have some valuable loot rewards.

oh and a number of HLA abilities generate money on a daily basis like craft potion.

If you're going to just chain steal the same wands over and over and over again for gold, might as well just open up EEK and gift yourself a billion gp.

Limit yourself to selling to the merchant just once per item. So I would sell to one, steal it, then go into the sewers and resell it. After that I'd stop stealing the item. You can still net a large amount of gold this way of course, but not enough to buy out the Adventure mart 2 hours after finding yourself in Amn.

Never had a problem with money have like 150k and the best items. Don’t even sell everything. The first thing I did after coming out of Irenicious Dungeon was the Dearneisse Keep and had 18k plus goodies when I left. I don’t usually spend money on store goods, I did get that mage robe your talking about, Balduran armor and the simulacrum helmet. Don’t think Balduran shield is nesseasry since you get a certain cloak during your later travels before the underdark.

You can get around 15K of gold by doing the unseeing eye quest in the temple district

[red255]

you can get around 15K gold doing any of the stronghold quests yes. kinda how they are designed.

not a big fan of the shield of balduran either.

I use the animated dead spell, which are immune to most things the beholders will throw at them, send them in, bait out the death spells, then send in a second wave of buffed animate dead.

no need for expensive shields of balduran.

Yeah I found out later that Skeleton warriors are excellent for fighting Beholders, only the Unseeing Eye can deal some serious damage to them.

early game you can sell infinite ankheg hides for 500 each. Gets old, and you need strong guys to haul it. Late game... stop buying junk. Only a small # of vendor items are better than found items.

High-level scrolls found as loot fetch some pretty nice prices.

[danconnors]

To loot any hive of beholders you need one dual class berserker/mage, one shield of ...aghh...it's a small shilld...sheld of harmony I think, and that cloak of water from the city of shark people. Have the berserker go berserk when any elder obs come near. KIll them ASAP; then take your time slaughter the rest at your liesure. Have the rest of the party wait outside.

Save all your scrolls, dismiss the rest of the party, so your berserker mage can make his mage high as quickly as possibly. Without working too hard any mage can make tenth level in one sitting, with scrolls found and saved.
