What you need for a BG2 playthrough is to install the newer Never Ending Journey versions NeJ2 v6.9.1 (510MB) followed by patch NeJ2 v6.9.4 (9.1MB) from Black Wyrm's Lair.

I installed the mod for BG2EE and it worked as intended. Keldorn have both his armor and boots of speed on enjoying full benefits of Haste and free action. Also the boots stack with the ring of free action, Jaheira is hasted while using Ixil's Spike.. I didn't encounter any bugs so far. Maybe the mod just needs to be updated to WeiDu 236 to be fully compatible.

Talk to the servant at the Jystev estate. He normally comes to ask you what business you have with the Jystevs, but Isra mod changes that and you have to initiate the conversation. Then Sir Sarles will spawn and you can complete the temple quest.

The mod can be installed with no conflict in BG2EE, but the item descriptions change kinda breaks the immersion. The game ain't the same without this mod, this is the best item pack and needs to be updated.

In Vampire Tales 1.3, there's a merchant in Lathander Temple that offer upgrades and forge new items. http://www.baldursga....php?board=92.0

Improved Anvil Lite v5 is a modified version compatible with a megamod install, it contains all improved Anvil upgrades and the ingredients are moved to Adventurer's Mart and sold by Ribald. http://gamingnerdsru....php?topic=72.0

Maybe you can reference the occasional upgrade provided by NPC mods and quests that require the same items as large crafting mods, like Cromwell's upgrade for the Blade of the Roses in Amber mod or Daystar upgrade in Turambar's fixes and tweaks.
