Thalantyr's "Mega" Items
Thalantyr can modify some items if I give him several items/ potions and pay gold.
I tried searching my BG install folder for readme where characteristics of these items are but I didn't find it. Where can I find the stats for these items?
For one item he needs several mages robes, for other several girdels, and boots.

Nashkel Mines contaminated ore
What can I use contaminated ore for? Do I take it or leave it in the mine?

Thanks.

Useful gems
Which gems in game are used for creation of some items or quests? I need to know this because I have plenty and want to sell those I won't be needing?

Thanks.

I'm currently adapting all of the DSotSC, NTotSC, & SoBH NPC's to level up as per David W's SCS code so next release they will join at party level, as well as adapting all major areas in the same 3 mods to the BGSpawns style spawning. Also, I got tired of kicking out a party member and sending them somewhere only to have them join againn much later and have fallen so far behind the party in experience as to be not nearly as useful as they should be (apparently kick out and go to an inn is a slight variation to Imprisonment and no experience happens during the passage of time) so I'm also adapting all Bioware NPC's and the DS, NT & BH NPC's to be able to rejoin and gain the proper amount of experience to rejoin at current party level as well. That will all be available soon in future releases.

That will be one of the most useful things if it could be implemented properly. The players would be given choices to play with any NPC in their party at any given time. I wish You luck Erebusant with Your work.

Pickpocketing useful items

During my gameplay I've done some things that other players may find useful.

I took Keiria Silversting which was lvl. 5 Bard at the time she joined, from Carnival area, and managed to pickpocket some nice things with her.

I've pickpocketed Drizzt Do'Urden in Beregost Wilderness are after helping him for his +3 Scimitar which has 50% Fire resistance and +1d6 cold damage.

Also lady Valeria in one of the houses of Beregost and found Ring of protection +1. She is the mage which is guarded by 1 Cleric, couple of guards and a buttler on the lower floor of her house.

In Fedlepos't inn, on the second floor, I've pickpocketed Alegernon's cloak (can't remember real name) from the same guy.

This is it for now. If I pickpocket other usefull things I'll let You know, or if You can update this with some info please do so.
=========================================================================
Now, I have some other quest questions:

Family of zombies

Where do I find Bassilus, and what weapons can hit him?
===========================
A stampede of Half-ogres

After completing this quest, I went to the paladin, he said he's giving me a shield but I only received 300xp and 1 REP point. Is this some kind of bug?
===========================
The curse on captain Brage

Where do I find the cpatain?
===========================
Prism, the emerald thief

How do I complete this quest, where can I find the thief?
===========================
Bandits!

After talking to Drizzt and one Half Ogre in Beregost Wilderness area, I found out that Black Talon and The Chill companies are causing caravan raids. Where do I find them, and how do I complete this quest?
===========================
Anxious farmer tells a tale

How do I complete this quest, where is the monster?
===========================
Find Gurke's famous cloak

Where is Cloakwood area, how do I find it, where the cloak is?
=========================================================================
That is all for now.

Thank You for Your answers.

Dark Side of the Sword Coast NPCs

I have a question regarding NPCs from this mod. I've found Keiria Silverstring and Skeezer Lumpkin in Carnival area. Keiria is LVL 5 and Skeezer is LVLs 4/5 i think. My characters are around 2,500 XP points. Normally when I saw stronger chars I put them in my party.

Can someone tell me why are these characters so high in level and do enemies become stronger if I put them in my party now?

Also I let Khalid and Jaheira go in the middle of Nashkel mines quest, will I lose something for doing so?

Thank You.
