edited July 2021 in BGII:EE Mods
For many years bothered me that lot of items have completely untapped potential.
So I decided to rework large number of them and "Unofficial Item Pack" was born.

Unfortunately, (most parts) this mode (part one is exception) requires starting a new game and patch version 2.0 or higher.

Languages: English, Czech

Installation of this mode has eight optional parts:

A ) Unofficial Item Pack

01) Malla's Soul Stone - Human souls are source great strength. Gotta catch 'em all!


02) Sigil of Tyr - Only for the best of us.


03) Dark Elven Chain - Armor Class: +1


04) Handmaiden's Mace - Now Mace +3 (also new, better model)


05) Mask of King Strohm III - I do not see practically nothing.


06) Symbol of Amaunator - Praise the sun!


07) Human Flesh +5 - You can be evil and also look elegant. (recolored)


08) Keepsake Locket - True love make you stronger.


09) Shadow Dragon Wardstone - Loks like Ioun stone to me...


10) Mantle of Waukeen - You can save the world with this stylish jewelry!


11) Kurtulmak's Crystal Shard - Ruby crystal? Hmm...


12) Soul Reaver +4 - The ultimate weapon for evil incarnate.


13) Boo - Simply because I can!


14) Deirex's Gems - Souls belonging drow warriors? That sounds useful.


15) Talisman of the Hearthfire - Jump to left or jump to the right!


16) Girdle of Fortitude - Stay healthy little longer.


17) Blackmist +4 - Now you see me...


18) Cloak of Balduran - New drop from Firkraag
19) Helm of Opposite Alignment - Ask undead mayor
20) Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity - Owned by biggest Casanova in Amn
21) Bracers of the blinding strike - New drop from Drizzt (According lore he should have them)
22) Cloak of Displacement - Blur is gone
23) The Claw of Kazgaroth - Blur is gone
24) Silver Dragon Scales - New drop from Adalon
(Right now usable only in ToB. Modification for Cromwell will be in the next version.)

B ) Scarlet Katana

01) Scarlet Katana - Scarlet Ninja-To is now Scarlet Katana.
Higher price, but useful for monks, bards and thieves.

C ) Gourmet from Underdark

Someone said "Rare ingredients"?
That sounds very... delicious.

01) Kuo-toa's Blood - It tastes little bitter.


02) Elder Brain Blood - It tastes pretty sweet.


03) Eyestalk of an Elder Orb - It tastes like chicken.
Boo approve this very tasty dish. :smile:


WARNING: Do not eat them all!
At least one is required for Q.

D ) Holy symbols

All six holy symbols will now have Armor Class: +1

E ) New Items

Completely new (almost) original items.

01) Butcherer of Innocents - BLOOD!


02) Guenhwyvar's Figurine - New drop from Drizzt


03) Ring of superior arcane clumsiness - In possession of a well-known religious madman

    This mode will soon receive an update.

    1) Few more items from BG2 still need some love.
    2) Some items from SoD will be transferred to BG2!!! (Many people asked me about this :) )

    Wow dude, nice. Are we anticipating any other great additions from you in this mod?

    E.g. what potential items will we be seeing?

    Fantastic start.
  • GrimLefourbeGrimLefourbe Member Posts: 637
    Could you implement a few functionality changes to items to make them easier (e.g change the girdle of fortitude to setting the wearer's con to 18 so it's less bothersome to use and less abusable)?

    Yes, this and much more.
    I also plan add few my own items.

    Some completely new rings, amulets and Ioun stones...
    Useful but not OP.

    I am not too sure Soul Reaver needed to be buffed as you did, it already is a very good weapon. It could be upgraded by Cespenar in ToB into the version you made and be buffed to +5 in the process, but clearly this buff you made feels somewhat OP.
  • EdvinEdvin Member, Translator (NDA) Posts: 3,244
    @Arunsun
    I wanted create antithesis to Carsomyr.
    Moreover, only evil alignments can use this sword, which is great disadvantage.

    Thanks for your great work and generosity. Respect.

    Might this include a certain pair of Stalker Gauntlets?

    Does this mod overlap with Item Revisions v4 in any way?
    Can both be installed together?

    This.

    To be honest, I'm not sure.
    Item Revisions is very complex mode and I have no idea how deep are used changes in game code.
    Regarding the creation of mods, I'm still a beginner.

    BUT

    My changes are specific and changes in Item Revisions are mainly general.
    So if you install my mod first, it should be alright.
  • EdvinEdvin Member, Translator (NDA) Posts: 3,244
    I found 10 items from SoD, which are worth transferring:

    01) Archer's Eyes
    02) Backwhacker +2
    03) Nimblefinger Gloves
    04) Stalker Gauntlets
    05) Screaming Bagpipes
    06) Crown of Lies
    07) Wizzard Hat
    08) Circlet of the Cynosure
    09) Bloody Bone Plate +2
    10) Robe of Arcane Aptitude

    Any special requests?
  • inethineth Member Posts: 747
    The "Bard Hat" (BDHELM11) would be great to have in BG2, since there is no other item that has the same effect. I believe it transfers to BG2 if you import an SoD game, but it would be nice to have it even when starting a new BG2 game.

    @ineth
    These items are transfers to BG2 if you import an SoD game:

    Voidsword +3
    Voidhammer +3
    Robe of Red Flames
    Belt of the Skillful Blade
    Archer's Eyes
    Helmet of Dumathoin
    Bard Hat
    Biter +2
    Tangled Strings
    Buckler of the Fist +2
    Dragon Blade +3

    So, Bard Hat is unnecessary (and also Archer's Eyes, my bad).

    I vote for the Sable Cloak and the Gargoyle Cloak :)
  • EdvinEdvin Member, Translator (NDA) Posts: 3,244
    @Aedan
    Sable Cloak is not particularly useful or interesting.
    But Gargoyle Cloak is good idea.
  • mf2112mf2112 Member, Moderator Posts: 1,919
    The Shaman-only items would be nice, they don't have anything in BG2.
  • mylegbigmylegbig Member Posts: 292
    How about Shield of Egons? I don't think any other items does something similar.
  • ameliabogginsameliaboggins Member Posts: 287
    `03) Dark Elven Chain - Armor Class: +1`

    wearable above ground?

    This armor is not made of Adamantium.

    That was not my first choice, but I just found out that this shield is very popular among the players.
    (To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why.)
    Ok, Shield of Egons will be included ;)
  • ameliabogginsameliaboggins Member Posts: 287
    Fleshripper +2 [BDBOW03]
    - +2 Movement Speed
    - 5% chance on hit of hasting the wielder for 4 rounds

    assume this is a shortbow ?
  • EdvinEdvin Member, Translator (NDA) Posts: 3,244
    @ameliaboggins
    Hmm, in BG2 is large number of good longbows, but only a small number of shortbows.
    It makes sense to me, Fleshripper +2 will be included ;)
  • evildevil97evildevil97 Member Posts: 93
    The main SoD items I'd like to see transferred over to BGII is actually the unique ammunition; the new types of arrows, bolts, and bullets.
  • EdvinEdvin Member, Translator (NDA) Posts: 3,244
    On Waukeen's Promenade is shop for archers.
    I could slightly expand their inventory.
  • EdvinEdvin Member, Translator (NDA) Posts: 3,244
    Everything is almost done.
    The new version will be within 1-2 days.

    Mod itself is ready, but I have few problems with pictures of items from SoD. (New type of image)
    I will try to solve it as soon as possible.
  • EdvinEdvin Member, Translator (NDA) Posts: 3,244
    Problem solved.
    For sure I'll do a few more tests, but the release date will be definitely tomorrow.

    this mod is great! But I would like to ask you to make a component compatible with item revision.
