advowson: This forum serves both Baldur's Gate: Classic Edition and Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition,[1] so you are not in the wrong forum. However, you are in the wrong thread for a discussion of the Ring of Wizardry not working as intended once equipped, which is why I suggested opening a separate thread and providing screenshots showing how you determined that it was not working. Since I am already here, I will offer what I hope to be helpful commentary for you:
- Evermemory's effect is immediate upon equipping it. The character will gain additional spell slots for level 1 wizard spells. Those slots will be empty until you choose spells to memorize in them. As per standard BG rules, once you have chosen those spells, you must rest for 8 hours to memorize those spells.
- No level-up is required to apply Evermemory's effect.
- Removing Evermemory will immediately remove the bonus slots, causing those spells to be forgotten as if they had been unsuccessfully cast. If you re-equip Evermemory and rest again, the spells will be re-memorized. The Enhanced Editions keep your spell preferences, even for spell slots that are not available. I think I read that the Classic Edition would completely discard it, forcing you to fill those slots again when they were restored.
- A level-up that grants you additional level 1 wizard spells should also grant you the corresponding bonus slots from Evermemory, without requiring the party to rest.
[1]: This forum also serves Baldur's Gate 2: Classic Edition and Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition. It unfortunately seems to attract a lot of attention from Baldur's Gate 3 players, even though that game has very little in common with these, and has its own distinct forum.
Thanks,
But this game is so hard to get your teeth into I'm going back to my old CD's of the original. It's just too screwed up. I can't even get the characters I save to show up yet it finds the built in ones. And maybe one or two of mine.
I don't recall having this problem when I first bought it years ago.
By the way evermemory did work. Just needed to verify the game files again. Then restart the game this morning it worked.
Don't worry about replying, I'm pretty sure forums are not for me. The answers may be here, but I don't have enough life left to read it all. And play the games I want to play.
Have a good one.
We know where our journey ends its the road it takes, we need to find to get there. Thats the mystery bit.
Cheers Bob.
