    Ok, I'm running through IWD for the second time now with a pair of dwarves. Anyway, I seem to remember finding some magic items the first time I played through that aren't showing up in my second game. For instance, I used to be able to buy the Rogue's Cowl and the Shimmering Sash from the mage in Kundahar, but this time all he's got is some crappy amulet that casts Friends (what a crappy spell in a non PnP game) and some other worthless crap... Belt of Gond, I think. What happened? Are these things determined randomly or what? I want my Rogue's Cowl, damnit!

    Yea, treasure is random to a degree in IWD. But stores usually have the same stock every time you play. Of course, HoW adds some more items to those original stores so that's why you might be missing it. Rogue's Cowl comes with Heart of Winter too AFAIK. So if you don't have it installed, you can't get any of them, obviously.

    Hmm... I don't know whether random treasure allocation is a good or bad thing. On one hand it'll give me new things to play around with my second time through (which is always good)... but I did design my two dwarves with the intention of being able to use some of the magic items I couldn't equip the first time through and now they're not there... ah well, what else am I going to do? Watch soap operas? *laugh*

    [​IMG] Belt of Gond is OK, isn't that the one that blesses you permanently? That's not too bad.

    Have you tried the Iceiwnd Dale section of this site? There are a number of walkthroughs that explain what items are a available in different quests. In the Hints section there is also a list of stores and the items they have:

    No, Belt of Gond just gives you some binuses th thief skills. Which isn't worth the price, since playing with only 2 characters on Insane mode my PCs are leveling up so quickly that I'm just about to go into Dragon's Eye and I've already got all of my skills except pick pockets up past 90%.
