Prices in beregost smithy

DullSkullTheSecond

Just re-downloaded BG1EE and was about to buy a crossbow for Montaron when I saw the prices.

I have no mods so what is up with those prices!? 150 000 gold for a dagger xD??? Probably more than the BNP of baldurs gate lol.

Scourge

judging from your party, I would bet you got a really low reputation, and this reflects on the prices.

Your reputation is probably a 1 or 2.

Changed it with keeper and yes it was because of my reputation. Never thought I would have to pay ten times more with low reputation. Thanks

Its only basically at reputations 1-2 where the pricing becomes really insane. As you can see from the following chart

Reputation 1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20
Percentage 1000 1000 200 150 140 130 120 120 110 100 100 100 100 100 95 90 85 80 75 70

So just avoid mass killings and prices should be manageable.

Guess I will have to change aligment from chaotic evil til next game

Starting as Chaotic evil sets your reputation to 8. So you would have had to do some bad things (getting caught stealing, killing people, taking certain NPC's into your group) for you to get down to a 1 or 2.

Dorn plus Viconia brings it down to four already, so he didn't have to do all that much, actually.

There's this for BG2 Tweaks mod which has support for BGEE. If you just installed this component, it should work since there is no other mechanic affected besides reputation and store prices.


From http://www.gibberlings3.net/readmes/readme-bg2tweaks.html

Change Effect of Reputation on Store Prices
Previously Known As Low Reputation Store Discount (Sabre, Richardson, Weimer)
This component has been broadened into a general alteration of how reputation affects store prices. The original variant, Low Reputation Store Discount, is unchanged: reputation values of 8-13 result in no discounts; items are sold at their original prices. Every point lower or higher then 8 or 13, respectively, gives the party a 5% discount. This reaches a maximum of 35% -- meaning that the party will only pay 65% of the item's original price -- at reputation values of 1 and 20.

Three new variants, courtesy of Luiz, remove the effect of reputation on storekeepers outright. The resulting prices can be set to 60%, 80%, or 100% of their listed values in general, but note that storekeepers will retain their original markups and buy discounts.
