They're random treasure. You should find them at some point.

[gurkenheinie]

alright thx for the the answer.


seems that i have to wait then. i hope they drop soon.

[Miloch]

They should actually be quite common on enemies. If you still don't find any, the mod generates a log file that tells you exactly where they are, but it is a major spoiler, so I'd stay away from it unless you're really stuck.

[Bookwyrme]

jeah i think i am stuck.

i am now late in the endgame of bg1 and still no sign of theese gooseberries.

if u know the exact place where to find them pls tell me


thank you

They're random, really and truly random.

I'm not sure why you haven't found any, but there's no way for us to find them for you.

Sorry you're feeling stressed over it, though. The gooseberries and, later, Aurora's missing items, were just meant to be a fun little not-exactly side-quest. If you find them, she'll thank you & you'll get a small token of her gratitude, that's all.

Are you going on to BG2?

It just occurred to me: Are you a compulsive looter? Both Karea's quest & Aurora's assume that you check the bodies of fallen enemies.

[Bookwyrme]

jeah i really check every body that goes down. well since theres no sign of them i think i will just pass out that q and maybe on the next walkthrough with another charackter there will be a chance to do it.

Sorry you weren't able to find any. The locations are randomly generated, so it's different each game.

Are you going on to SOA?

It shouldn't be language-specific (though we don't have a German translation for the mod - if you are interested, let us know ). Gooseberries are random - if you find them in an inappropriate place, let us know that too. Fairly easy to modify if we know the issue (skeletons shouldn't have organic berries for example, or treasure at all, have already addressed that locally).

Not exactly related, but I'll ask anyway, is there a way to "upgrade"

the shield found in the cave in Umar Hills?

I noticed there's another BAM for the same shield with a different colour so I wondered...

based on german language, the random treasure distribution to the creatures in the BG1 section of the game might be messed up.

Well, it wouldn't be based on the language. Your only choices (right now) are to install it in English, French and Italian (no German unless someone translates it ). If you do think the item distribution is messed up somehow, there is a log file you can look at in a text editor (Notepad or whatever). It is aurora/batchlog/ag_scripted_cres.txt. It is spoilerish, so if you *do* decide to look at it, but your hand over your eyes (and peek through the gaps in your fingers if you must ). It tells you who should *potentially* have what items (agrandbr is, for example, the item name for gooseberries). By "potentially" I mean they have a small random chance to have the item. Meaning if that you killed or robbed enough of them, you should get the goodies, and usually throughout the game it will balance out to that effect. (Hmm, never really thought of it this way but the mod is sort of the antithesis of Ultima IV in that respect, heheh, though no one will understand that reference I think.)

Not related at all , but yes, there is.

It involves Karaea IIRC. For the next version, I have already written (the majority of) a huge new quest around this item, involving a semi-joinable NPC, two new areas (partially thanks to Yovaneth), a load of dialogue, and a bunch of revelations and goodies and whatnot. But bah, not enough time to finish everything I want to .

Nope.

Sounds good.
