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 an 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. The price you get when selling depends on your negotiating skill. As far as I have been able to ascertain all shopkeepers who are willing to buy items, offer the same price, which starts out at 20%(!!!) of the face value. After training up as much as possible in negotiating I managed to get 28%. There seems no better price to be had.

You do not need to vistit a trainer to turn skill points into actual skills. This can be done as soon as you move up a level. Most of the training establishments from Avernum 1 are still around. The trainers will now instuct you in various skills at a price.

It seems to make no difference, where you sell your loot. The following people are willing to buy your surplus Items.

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. Since money is so short in this game, I have also given the price each seller demands for each spell.

Another problem with the Spells, is that there are various versions of this game each with differnt spells. I have listed the names and descriptions for the alternative version (Avernum Remix Version 1.1). If the spell works differently in the original version of the game, the original description appears in a slightly darker box at the end of the entry..

In this table the first column contains three numbers: at the top the spell number, below it the Mage-Level needed to cast it and at the bottom the Spell-Points it costs to cast.

I have always found enough good Weapons and Armour on the quests in this game. For this reason and because money is so short I never have had to buy equipment. Since arrows (and in the new version javelins) cannot run out there is no longer any need for Fletchers.

Healers are no longer necessary in this game. Those which are still around often sell potions or teach spells.

Ether, Mertis		slightly expensive		Claudette, Formello		slightly expensive

A few people will make potions for you if you have the necessary ingredients. Once you have found the recipe, you can teach Kai and he will also make you Greymould Salve.

I have not got around to listing sellers of potion ingredients.

You will crtainly need to buy a boat from Brandon in Fort Draco and at least one (if not more) in Cotra or Silvar.

Eduardo, Cotra

Brandon, Fort Draco

There seems to be no need to rest or eat in this game. I will however list the people who sell food because they are there
