Ankheg Armor

reedmilfam

Has anybody else had trouble getting any armor made from Ankheg shells?

The smith in Beregost buys them and talks about having one on the tenday, but I never receive a dialogue option to get the armor.

I can get by without it, but it's definitely useful for lower strength (Viconia) armor-wearers. I asked Jaheira to let Vic wear hers, but she wasn't too warm to the idea...

You have to wait ten in game days before it's ready. That's called a tenday, there is also a set of Ankheg armour that you can find:

It's in a field to the west of Nashekl, you have to use tab to highlight as you walk around because its pretty tough to spot.

I had the same problem, i think maybe because i have 6 reputation? no option for armour to be made.Also it was confusing because i brought back 7 shells and the smithy said he would take "all" of them off my hands for 500GP.In actual fact he only took one of me for that price not all.

Nah, he made it for my evil party that has 6 reputation...

In order to get Taerom to smith a set, one has to decline his offer to purchase the shell. If you do so, he says something along the lines of "In that case, how about I smith you a set of ankheg armor for 4k." He takes the shells and tells you to come back in a tenday, but the Enhanced edition gives you the option to pay 6000 for two day service. I haven't used that option, so I am unaware of any potential consequences.

Weird I have not been able to get that option. Will have to try again on my next run-through. Always taken 10 days.

Now i'm regretting not clicking it, just to see if it does anything other than advertised. Since I'm trying to continue my formerly no-reload game (current reloads count: 2), I'm trying to avoid doing things that may jeopardize it. I didn't think the 2k markup was worth it, honestly.
