Towns

It is often diffucult to remember where one can find a particular item that is urgently needed or who in the area gives the best prices for loot. Here is a summary. Details can be found on the pages for the individual towns.

After clearing out a dungeon you usually want to get your reward if you have just completed a quest. You then want to sell your loot to the highest bidder and probably turn your new won skill points into genuine skills. The training establishments are just listed with the name of the trainer and the town. The price you get when selling depends on your reputation and bartering skill. Funnily enough healers offer the best price, if you ask for Healing! The values given here are based on a reputation of 20 and barter 2 for each member of the party. The actual price you will be offered will of course be different, but the list can be used for comparison. If you have enough skill in barterering everbody offers you a good price which tops out at 60%. In the list of people who will identify items I have also noted the cost.

Oliver, Blosk		Vahnatai Trainer, Olgai

Rosemary, Almaria	60%		Cheryl, Fort Draco	50%		Stoppard, Formello	43%		Brantford, Tower of Magi	56%

Rita, Patrick's Tower	10		Corman, Olgai	5		Oratem, Egli	10		Gunther, Dharmon	20

Spells are important in these games but I always forget where they can be bought or otherwise obtained. Here are lists of places where spells can be obtained and lists of the individual spells with sellers (or other method of finding them) for levels 1 and 2 and also notes about finding them at level 3.

I have always found enough good Weapons, armour, arrows, food etc. on the quests in Avernum so that I almost never have had to buy equipment. Bolts and arrows occasionally run out and I have to resort to buying.

Name, Town	Items	Price		Name, Town	Items	Price		Name, Town	Items	Price
Matt, Mertis	Good Weapons	expensive		Efram, Silvar	poor	expensive		Boutell, Fort Draco	poor (better weapons go to the army)	expensive
Sharon, Harston	very poor	exorbitant		Shannon, Almaria	low end weapons	exorbitant		Orho, Gnass	Slith Spears	slightly expensive

Name, Town	Items	Price		Name, Town	Items	Price		Name, Town	Items	Price
Anastasia, Silvar	moderate quality	expensive		Jay, Almaria	basic	exorbitant		Rippel, Dharmon	good quality armour	expensive
Dharmon Metalworks	good quality	expensive		,				,

Name, Town	Items	Price		Name, Town	Items	Price
Tina, Mertis	very basic	pretty average		J.R., Fort Duvno	good quality	slightly expensive
Julie, Dharmon	good quality bows, arrows and bolts	slightly expensive			,

Healers are important because they are the best place to sell loot. All potion recipes except those for Healing and Curing Potion (which you get automatically) can be bought, although Greymould Salve can be picked up without cost. The ingredients are however sometimes a bit difficult to find.

Caius, Formello	slightly expensive		Clarisse, Tower of Magi	expensive		Eucher, Fort Duvno	slightly expensive
Caitlin, Fort Dranlon	slightly expensive		Miranda, Almaria	very reasonable		Kristen, The Castle	very reasonable
Sarah, Dharmon	slightly expensive		Carol, Gunston Homestead	slightly expensive		Ublis-Ihrno, Olgai	slightly expensive

One of the few things you have to buy is a boat for the river from Fort Draco to Formello, otherwise you cannot reach Solberg or find the teleporter-code for Erika. I never need to buy rations but it is a good idea to see what the general item sellers have to offer. There is occasionally something useful like an Energy Potion to be had.

Tess, Fort Draco

Ruth, Silvar

Suzanne, Harston	Actually she does not have much to sell	slightly expensive		Waldby, Little Vale	a motly selection of goods	exorbitant/expensive

Various skills can be bought or obtained by other means. There are also many useful items that can be found or bought. I will only list some of the rare or important ones.

Some skills can be bought from people, but only upto level 5 and sometimes only under particular conditions (reputation high enough, task completed etc.), while some can be found by special encounters.

Skill	Name, Town	Price		Skill	Name, Town	Price		Skill	Name, Town	Price
Barter	Tor, Gunston Homestead	150		Archery	Far-Fletch Clan	1000		Pathfinder	Caius, Formello	360
Anatomy	Rhoads, Mertis	3000		Magery	Injured Drake	5000 whole party		Gymnastics	Kevtar's Hut	5000 whole party
Magery	Erika, Erika's Tower	2200 per player		Magery	Solberg, Solberg's Tower	1500 per player		Parry	Tokor-Te, Mancuso	500

Blademaster L2 can be learnt if you offer three packets of Chitrach Skins at the Lava Shrine.

The following lists are intentionally not complete. I have only listed items, which I feel are imprtant or useful. The column "Editor" referes to the Character Editor and gives the Code for the Advanced Feature "Give An Item"; the letters tell whether the item can be added via the main menu in the editor. (The abbreviations are: Weapon, Armour, Jewlery, Tool, wanD, artiFact.)

Beastcall	Nephilim Castle, Tomb of Dahris-Bok	(313)		Inner Might		(318)		Pathfinder	Barbarian Sliths	(323)
Spiritcall		(314)		Shielder	Vahnatai Fortress	(319)		Magery		(324)
Lay On Hands	Verdant Cavern	(315)		Blademaster		(320)		Restoration		(325)
Venom Foe	Mancuso	(316)		Anatomy		(321)		Energy Pulse	various places	(326)
Beserker		(317)		Gymnastics		(322)

The value in the column Enc. (encumbrance) is the attack penalty in combat

The abbreviations for weapon type are: Mêlée, Pole, Thrown and Bows. By mêlée and pole weapons the number of hands required is also given.
