Warning: This guide contains major spoilers for all of the new content in BG2:EE; much more so than the guide for BG:EE. It is my strong recommendation that anyone with the slightest bit of interest in the new storylines should play through the game at least once before reading any further.

There is now a spoiler free version of this guide in the post below this one

This is a list of all the new notable magic items in BG2:EE.
I am not including underwhelming vanilla items of which there are many.

A list of items in BG:EE can be found here:

A list of items in SoD can be found here:

    What sort of long bow and katana were you wanting to see?

  • rorikonrorikon Member Posts: 105
    Well I'm glad they at least put the Dagger of Venom in BG2EE, especially since I'm importing a dual wielding fighter/thief that used it for almost the entirety of BG1EE. I didn't want to have to shadowkeeper it, so I'm happy.

    Was waiting on this post before I started. Thanks!

    Just anything that can compete with the likes of Gesen, Firetooth, Foebane, Axe of the Unyielding, etc.

    I'll see what I can do about that, then. I will resurrect a long bow I created about 10 years ago--The Breath of the Fifth Master. hrm...can I get an "official" translation into Japanese from someone on that? I am uncertain if I want to trust Google Translate for that. It doesn't fire its own ammunition so you will need to load your own arrows but it will be worth it.

    The ring Evermemory (doubles 1st level spells) from BG:EE does not transfer. Nor does it exist in BG2:EE. Instead it is REPLACED with the Reaching Ring which gives a bonus 5th, 6th and 7th level spell I believe.

    Are there any tools to add items to the BGEE games like there were for the old games? The old tools have problems recognizing the EE series and I'd like to add Evermemory to BG2:EE

    The Practical Defense +3 plate mail also does not transfer. It is REPLACED by a set of non-magical normal platemail in BG2:EE

    So, any BG:EE new item is transferible to BG2:EE like happened with some few old items like helm of balduran, mail of the dead and golden pantaloons?

    Its possible to pick pocket the Cloak of Unerring Strikes off of Treya

    Spoiler
    She is one of the people confronting Rasaad in Trademeet


    It gives +2 thac0 to your offhand weapon.

    Edit: Looks like you mentioned it but you weren't sure where it was :)
  • elminsterelminster Member, Developer Posts: 16,317
    Also with the Jade Fang I think you may mean it heals the user by 1 health with each hit
  • HandofTyrHandofTyr Member Posts: 106
    Not to be a whiner here, but I hope the abyssal blade isn't the mentioned Carsomyr replacement for blackguards. Or if it is that there's a nice upgrade waiting for it with Cespenar. Is it 1d12 or 1d10?

    I'm gonna rely on others for ToB testing, since it's not exactly my favourite part of the game
  • SedSed Member Posts: 790
    Ring of Djinni Summon seems to be new. In the room of Aran Linvail (at least I haven't seen it before)

    Yeah I'm disappointed about that too - really was hoping for an upgraded Celestial Fury for ToB :(

    @Sed - The Ring of Djinni Summoning always been there, though I tihnk the only way to obtain it in the original game was siding with Bodhi and killing Linvail.

  • BasillicumBasillicum Member, Translator (NDA) Posts: 400
    @kamuizin You're right, I'm sorry. I think I got confused because it has a new icon.

    Any chance the cloak of balduran is in this game? I know it's OP, but I hope to finally complete the entire set of weapons and armors.

    Must be a new addition. You can pickpocket this ring from the Renal Bloodcap guy in vanilla.

    Incorrect. It's always been in Aran Linvail's room. Renal does not have it on him, PP or otherwise.
  • bbearbbear Member Posts: 1,180
    Oops. I must mix him up with Aran Linvail. Really? I thought you have to pickpocket the thief chief for the ring. I always check the loots in the room but never found it.
