Hi there,

I'm moving into Chapter 3 in BG2 SoA, I noticed I've got a large selection
of Stones and Jewels in my inventory,
Q. Do I need these for anything or are they just valuable items that I can
sell on.

I know I'll need to keep the pomel jewel for later but what about the
numerious others i've collected?

Cheers in advance

Neily

R. you can sell all these gems, as well as the numerous others you'll find
in the rest of the game
If you happen to find some "quest" gem, like the sword's pommel, merchants
won't allow you to sell them (grayed box)... so you can go and sell all gems
wholehartly
BTW, be sure to buy a gem bag to free some inventory slots...

NOOOOOO!

Many quest gems can be sold! including the pommel gem of Equalizer!

For BG2, keep one of these:
Pommel gem of Equalizer
Diamond
Buljuril
Rogue Stone
You may want to keep the authentic illithium ore too.

For ToB there are a lot more, and I can't remember all of them. But here's
what I got:
5 Star Sapphaire
Nymph's Tear
Star Ore

You can use multiple gem bags. If you don't visit shops often, you may need
up to 3 gem bags.
Also note that though they are called "gem bag", you can put any jewellary
inside them (necklades, rings etc.)

Ooops, correct that.... I should stop drinking alcohol during lunch ;)
You can effectively sell quest gems, so be careful actually....
sorry for the wrong advice

You can sell Rogue Stone even though you need it to enter Twisted Runes.

What can you do with the Diamond and Buljuril? I've used a Rogue stone to
enter some weird door, and I know what the pommel jewel is for, but never
used it because the blade somehow vanished from my inventory somewhere.

Upgrade a Horn of Valhalla. The Horn is in the City Gates district, and
the merchant who upgrades the Horn is outdoors in Waukeen's Promenade.

You can give him fake illithium, but he will storm out. However, when you
go to report your failure, the Temple will like the unsculpted alloy better
than the real sculpture.

A few of them have genuine uses apart from raising money, but most
don't. As a general rule, anything dull-looking and cheap is safe to
sell. A couple of more expensive gems (such as Rogue Stones) are harder
to come by and have particular uses in certain places in the game. (If
you want specific spoilers, ask, and we'll start a side thread.)

Obviously some gems are quest- or item-specific, and you throw them away
at your peril. You can generally get rid of any quest-specific item if
you don't want it any more once you've done the quest concerned, though.
You'll often find that merchants won't buy quest-specific items, but
they certainly do buy some item-specific ones, so be careful what you
sell.

Hope that helps,
Chris
