BG2: Recharge wands?

[Richard Parker]

Is it possible to ercharge wands in BG2? I have a vague memory that it was
possible in BG1, but I can't really remember. The manual seems to suggest
that it is NOT possible, but doesn't say so explicitly. The only mention
of rechargeable is things like rings of invisibility which recharge themselves.

I have notived that when I equip a wand (the ones gained from the 2nd level
of the first dungeon) they have a number 1 on the quick item picture, just
like a quick spell. I presume this means they have 1 charge left. I don't
remember BG1 telling me how many charges were left. If that is the case, I like
the idea.

Any ideas whether they can be recharged? If so where? I have tried shops and
a temple to no avail.

TIA

You recharged wands in BG1 by selling them and then rebuying them back.

You are correct about the number referring to the number of charges, so save
a game, sell a wand, buy it back, and see if it has any more charges.

I've discovered this doesn't work at Sorcerous Sundries. Works at the other
stores though, if they'll purchase wands.

You can also recharge any rings that might need it, such as the Ring of
Invisiblity purchased at Ulgoth's Beard.

I think that this is just a sell and buy back deal. I tried firing
off those wands and, as you say - one shot and fizzo... they vanish.
When I was at the pub at the slums area (Copper coronet?.. not sure,
but a place where you get quite a lot of 'interesting options') I sold
all the wands for a few coins and noticed that there was then a full
set available at a high price. I'm not 100% certain but I think that
this was the same wands "recharged". Couldn't check it out as they now
cost 10,000 + and I only had 9,000.

Thanks for the answers guys. I couldn't remember the sell it then buy back bit!
I was looking for a button similar to the buy/sell/steal ones, but with
recharge on it. I shall try the technique out tonight. Although if they cost
10,000 gp I could be in trouble, since I currently have about 150gp! Must do
some quests I think.

Thanks again
