Gem mine: books - Thieves-Guild.Net

CheeseshireCat · #1 12.06.06

After completing the gem mine, the librarian spirit gave me three books on Illefarn history. That's fine, but all three have an activated ability on them. Or, even, a custom, targeted, Bard-only activated ability. I tried using them on everything I could think of, but got absolutely no noticeable result.

Anyone has an idea, what to do with them?

I don't travel with my bard, so I just sold the books. LOL

Bardess · #3 12.06.06

Also sold them. For good money, heh.
Aww, bards can use them? Heck, I wasn't playing a bard

I set them in the last page of my pack and never even looked at them. How sad is that? I did not even know they had any special abilities

I've picked things up, knowing that they must be of some use to one of the characters. But I end up selling half of it, because I don't want to take the time trying to figure out who uses it, and what it's used for. Add that to the fact that there is no one place you can store things throughout the whole game. I lost a ton of stuff at the Sunken Flagon, not realizing it was going to disappear off the world map. After that, I just sold everything I couldn't use right away.

Actually, these books' description (R-click, examine) says that they are usable and by bard only, but any character with decent UMD skill (like my wizard -- has UMD of 12) could use them. Still, I can't understand what are they for. I finished Gem Mine 3rd, and thought they are needed to activate the Song Portal. Spent about 40 minutes trying to use them there (different order, whatever)...

Haha, that happened to me too, I stored a load of my good items in the box there (after the trial by fighting) and suddenly... it disapears off the map, with no way to go back

oh well. I'll know for next time I go through the campaign.
