WLD Phat Loot

[sans]

In the main WLD thread, I said Pinecone would sell his newly acquired Holy Axiomatic Longsword and Composite Flaming Longbow and purchase Greater Bracers of Archery. Forget all that. He'll keep the sword and longbow.

[sans]

TZS, Pinecone will take the +3 Flaming Sword (+4mod) and give back the +1 Holy Axiomatic Longsword (+5mod: 50312/2=25156, 25156x90%=22640).

I do want to turn Pinecone into a secondary fighter (to protect the back line), so a CON booster, a magic chain shirt and a magic buckler would be nice but we don't need to buy all that now. Pinecone has to prove himself first. A +2 CHA booster is good for now.

That's cool

So what we have now is

78,640 gp

I figure before we spend this, everyone should make sure that they're happy with what they've gotten thus far and figure out if they want to ammend anything or hold off for an upgrade. It's a fact that EVERYONE could serve to use a better AC and saves, so we could use the rest of this to start upgrading cloaks of resistence and getting some people some higher ACs.

And of course some weapons and substances of different types to bypass some DRs as they come up.

[Fangor the Fierce]

Ok, as for selling the Holy Axiomatic Longsword, we have funds to spend now. Another 22.6 to add to the 56k left.

I would like to upgrade my Gauntlets of Ogre Power to Belt of Giant strength as well. 14.2k for that exchange, with the trade in of course. Is that a worthy cause, with me being a front line fighter, or is there something else that somebody needs instead?

[TheZebraShakes™]

Hmmmm, Do we have to sell back our old items that we want upgraded, or can we just pay for the upgrade and trade them in like that?

That way if we want a cloak of resistance +4, we won't have to trade in our +3 one for half value and take the 10 percent off. That could prove to be quite annoying, especially when upgrading weapons.

[Fangor the Fierce]

Well, that's a question for KMAN, as I have been trading in my old items and then buying the other ones outright. If we are able to simply upgrade, then I would rather go that way, as I would then have some extra funds from the trade ins.

[Wicksy]

This all looks good. I'd recommend the same amulet for Diedre to boost her hp total aswell as some nice mithril chain + however much we can afford. No armour check penalty and good AC. With suitable weapon upgrades, she would be quite deadly.

[TheZebraShakes™]

I already added some gear to Deidre's sheet for Lin to go over before we started spending. She has an amulet of health, gloves of Dex, holy weapon, cloak of resistance. Still have to work on her armor though. Need to see what he wants cause I don't know what she's allowed to wear. Maybe chain shirt though, but I don't know how high he wants her dex to be so it might cut into it a bit.

[TheZebraShakes™]

Also, we should always keep a nice stash of gold on hand, just in case something happens and we need to open up the portal to buy something speciffic either to prepare for a combat, or to combat some crazy effect of one of the traps after it takes its toll on one of us. That's why I don't think we should try to spend it all now. And hopefully we'll get some more useless stuff we can sell along the way.

But yeah, for Jearghen, the strength would be a fine investment.

[Fangor the Fierce]

Yeah, I was thinking on that. This bag of holding is going to be used plenty now, and when we rest, dump it out, sell it all, and go on about our business. Can you go ahead and update the funds to show the 14.2k purchase of the Belt of Str +4? Thanks, I will update sheet accordingly.

BTW, are these purchases what we got when we opened up the portal the first time? Or for future use? In other words, do I update now, or afterwards?

[Wicksy]

I was just thinking about things for Khaine later on. When we get some more cash, he could do with:

Upgraded Periapt of wisdom (from +2 to +4)
Upgraded cloak of resistance (+2 to whatever we can afford)
Upgraded shield (+3)
Upgraded armour (+3)

That pretty much sorts him out. That would bump his AC to 30, get his saves up nicely and give us extra spells. That can wait a while though. This does of course give us reason to explore.

BTW, did we pickup the loot from the Mohrog's chest? There was gems and stuff wasnt there? We did get it or did we leave it? I'll go and check it out.

[Wicksy]

Yeah, check it out. No gems, my bad. Did we include the +2 Mighty cleaving unholy longsword in ou calculations?

[TheZebraShakes™]

Actually, I didn't count in the sword, though I didn't forget about it. I was gonna see if tamlin wanted to do anything speciffic with it, but since Similar is going to trust us for the most part to help him out with picking items, we might as well put it in the pool.

So factoring that in, and excluding Jearghen's item, we're brought to a total of

64,500 gp

In terms of when we got the items. I'm not sure. We did have that big rest, so maybe we did it then. or we could be doing it at the next rest once we get everything all sorted out. Which makes the most sense.

I'll update the loss of all of our gear in the bag of holding soon to show that we don't have much left save the cash equivalent.

EDIT fixed total left over after updating some of Deidre's stuff.

[Japic]

In light of our newfound treasure I figured this thread might be of use again.

Now; since I haven't updated since the last treasure haul I was looking at my sheet and realized that One Fang is going to have some issues.

Booths of Speed (thanks!) will be traded out for Boots of Elvenkind, so they are either available or can be traded in. (2500 gp cost)

Strenght Item +4 That only seems to apply to the belt of Giant Strength which would replace my Belt of Dwarvenkind. I don't mind the change, but I would like that +2 con back. That's very precious HP in here. Belt of Dwarvenkind is cost 14900 gp.

I can get an Amulet of Health +2 or +4 for 2k or 16k respectively; which would have to replace my Neclace of Adaptation (9k cost).

If we had made all these changes then I'm not sure where that leaves me.

Losing: (original cost)
2500 for old boots
14900 for old belt
9000 for old neclace

Gaining: (original cost)
new boots 12000
new belt 16000
new amulet 2000

OR instead of all the shuffling of other items I can get Gauntlets of Ogre Power for 4k instead of the belt. That's +2 difference in my Str score, but I'm not sure how much that's going to matter.

If I have a say, then I choose the Gauntlets because it means I won't have to re-arrange my entire wardrobe for a +2 to str. It seems I lose more than I gain by taking that other belt.

Mebbe you can give it to the new guy; he's pretty buff already and could probably find use from it.

[TheZebraShakes™]

I'd say, why not just make the gauntlets of ogre power a +4 str boosting item. It really never made a difference to me, belt or otherwise, though I'm not sure if it would be an issue for KMan, though I doubt he'd care either. That way it would all work out to about the same. In the longrun, you'll want to lose the belt eventually, once you get a +4 con boosting item. That could just be another belt of health +4 though rather than Dwarvenkind. Or you can get a headband of strength +4 or some other weird ability which shouldn't be on the head and it would cost an extra 2000 gp as per rules for items in the wrong body slot. You could also have an item with more than one ability, but that's a bit more costly.

Just throwing out some options here.

[Wicksy]

Khaine would like some magic armour, say a +5 mithral tower shield (26,180gp) and a +6 periapt of wisdom (34,000gp - that includes trading in the old one). A +5 cloak of resistance would also be useful.

I could go mad if we were going to spend the full 150K each.

[K Man]

For those of you that missed it, I'm imposing a GP spending limit for Stromberg's shop. You can read the details here;

[Wicksy]

That sounds fair. No +6 manuals of gainful excercise then?
