Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks I don't know if you guys know this, but....

If you keep buying the crazy stuff from El'Gammon, you will be rewarded eventually. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Oh, only do it if you have money to spare!

Quoting Metallica, "Kill 'em All!"
I am playing a ranger now but I will return as an assassin to teach those greedy merchants!

Ok ok...I'll spoil it...he teaches you Trader's Tongue. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

Yes,he teaches You trader tongue but for that You must pay him about 2000 gold.
And as I remember good Mardanius after gathering council of seven says that You shoul never buy from that guy. A little to late <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Another insider joke : El'Gammon (here in the Forum as elgi) once began selling what ever he sold ONÖLY for the price of 500 ... whatever, gold, cookies, I don't know ...

That's why he sells everything for 500 Gold. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Well, 2000 gold is cheaper than the other spell books you can buy! I'd say it's a good deal. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Little correction: you need 2500 gold. Because you buy 5 items at 500 gold each. After that he gives you the skill.

The order isnt correct, but that should be the items (iirc).

It is still a lot cheaper than bying them from the merchants.
