There are two of them in BG1 - one from tree patch near Friendly Arm Inn, which x2 Level 1 spells (Ring of Wizardry 'Evermemory'). This one is OK. And one from mage Sunin from BG City SW region. This one in my case is Ring of Wizardry 'Reaching Ring' (+1 extra 5, 6 & 7 level spell). I don't recall exactly how it was in vanilla BG1 (it seems, that it sould be the same as the first one), but this one is almost pointless in BG1 part of trilogy (mage there has max 5th level spells).

What are you talking about? In BGT, there isn't really a MAX on spell levels because you are really playing SoA. You can go higher but normally, all the quests are done so there aren't many ways of continuing to raise your XP.

Also you didn't list what mods you have installed. I doubt this is a BGT-Weidu item and therefore, your comments should be posted over in the forum for that mod the item comes from (probably DS or NT). If it is from one of those mods, there are other high level rings you will find as well (priest, bard, and other mage rings).

My installation of BGT:
BGT updated Zeta099
BP-BGT Worldmap v5
IndiraNPC_v7_BGT
DEFJAM_v3
TutuGUI_v15

And as far as I know the only item this installation brings is Indira's Chain Armor.

I doubt this is a BGT-Weidu item


This is not BGT-Weidu item. This is original BG1 item. But the same one present in BG2 SoA. And I think, that as in Long bow of Marksmanship case (there are also two versions of it), Sunin somehow obtain the BG2SoA version of that ring.

EDIT: Yep, definitly so. I've load now one of my final saves from original BG1 and there are two Rings of Wizardry 'Evermemory' (x2 1st level spells) but no any Ring of Wizardry 'Reaching Ring' (+1 extra 5, 6 & 7 level spell).

The Evermemory ring is RINGA0.ITM and is in BG1Itm.BIF which therefore I would assume is a BG1 item (makes sense to me). The Reaching ring is RING08.ITM and is in the Items.BIF which is an SoA bif. So I am not sure how you found an SoA item like that in BG1. Perhaps it was supposed to be a copy of the first ring.

That is what I'm talking about.

I think the same way as Long bow of Marksmanship: http://www.shsforums...opic=18857&st=0
due to BGT conversion.

Perhaps it was supposed to be a copy of the first ring.


Definitly so.
