I heard about there's some items (which are really hard to find such as ring of wizardy and ring+1) hidden in bushes, rocks, below the trees.. But if you install a patch ring of wizardy disapeears?! it happens with every item?? when to install the patch? and one more question, let's say that you cannot install or find TOSC, and you install a xp cap remover. can you go up to levels 10 and above? does game crash? any experiences about that? thank ya..

one more thing, it there too many other "hidden and impossible to find items" like these? if yes, can you spoil me a little bit? thank ya again

i have TOTSC installed without any patches and i have no problem finding the ring of wizardry and other hidden items. it has been awhile since i last played so i can only tell you where to find the wiz ring.

but i want you to do a little hunting yourself.

search around a tree to the south and a little to the east of the friendly arm inn. it will be there unless you have some goofy patch that eliminates it.

Here are the locations of the hidden staches:

Friendly Arms Inn: x=2553 y=3757 (ring of wizardry)
south of FAI : x=1005 y=1115 (ring +1)
Nashkel x=185 y=2743 (anheg plate + pearl)
Nashkel Mine x=167 y=177 (Wand of frost)
East of NM: x=1956 y=2376 ( ring of fire resist(40%) + star sapphire + iol gem)
West of NM: x=1798 y=413 (Scrolls of Chromatic Orb + Cloudkill)

Use the 'L'-key to find the present location of your cursor

And Good Hunting

I like that these sorts of games impose an XP ccap. Otherwise very sad people would go around literally for YEARS just killing kobolds and suchlike until they had reached Level 25 Mage Tank or something and only THEN continue with its main plots. I think that Bosses need to challenge players. Why play if you can easily defeat them with a single spell to strip their flesh from their bones?

Once you install the patchs the only the ring dissapears.

Nope. I installed the patches and the ring of wiz was still there on the FAI map.

wow then your game is different from everyone else that i know has played cool though. So their are now tow fo them the one they added in to bg and the one at FAI then.

Heres the story on the ring in the FAI area:

Non-patched Baldurs Gate : Present
Patched Baldurs Gate : Not Present

Non-patched Tales of the Sword Coast : Present (according to knoj)
Patched TotSC : Present

i purchased baldur's gate from hastings, no TotSC, and no patches (that i know of), and the ring of wizardry still isn't there.
