Just posting this cuz couldn't find any info about this mod anywhere on the forum.

Mod provides another crafter in the manner of Cromwell, situated in north part of Waukeen promenade.
What especially got my attention was pretty powerful longbow, Bow of Uden.
Finally my archer won't be forced to use short-bows during the entire BG2...

Short description of the fore mentioned bow:

Longbow +5: Bow of Uden

Requires:

Elven Court Bow +3

Ripper +2

Tuigan Bow +1

Rogue Stone

Combat abilities:

When no arrows are equipped, the bow fires missiles that are treated as Arrows of Biting. The arrows deal a total of 1d6 missile damage and the target must save vs. Death or lose 30% of its maximum Hit Points within 20 seconds.

IMO this stuff's worth some attention

For every good weapon there are a lot that just cost way more than they deserve to and have garbage stats. Messerschmitt’s great axe is absolutely ATROCIOUS! Not only that, There’s a cheaper and better weapon in this same mod that you can make with frostreaver axe and it has precious slow.

Then there’s stuff you can’t even make like Vampires Revenge required items for a weapon not even available legitimately in bg2 and the end result requires Bodhi heart so don’t have a love life or else!

This mod kinda pisses me off at how absurd it is.

Im doing analysis of these weapons on Reddit so check it out there in the Baldurs Gate community and just word search Ruad.

30000 gp sounds a bit much though. I think it's cool that someone put effort
into a mod to craft a powerful item, but I think the cost is sometimes a bit
too much by default.

Yeah some mods are unbalanced, which is unfortunate. I think the best one
can do is to avoid mods that are too unbalanced (hard to know for new
players though). Some items are too addictive. I love the time stop item,
for instance, but it IS overpowered. A LOT.

Overall I think Lava has the best power-tweak ratio. For instance, the item
you get from the bridge district mod, adding +2 intelligence for a mage is
great and rarely summoning skeletons is cool for distraction. So I think
it is useful, somewhat powerful but not too powerful. Whereas the time
stop item is too powerful. I have no idea how powerful the bow is yet,
I rarely use archers, but would be interesting to find out. The cost puts
me off though - 30.000 gp I kind of need to buy other items from item
mods. :P (Lichdom also has quite an insane cost, 120.000 gp by vanilla
installation; people can tweak it, but the default is what many will
go by with I think.)
