I want to know what people are finding in the way of great gear. I am on the look out for a good Longbow and so far have not come across anything great (L8 party in Act 2). Here are some great stuff, IMO, that I have found:
Harold. Heavy crossbow +1 that can inflict Bane for 2 turns if target fails a save. This is, I think, the reward from the missing shipment quest if you show up friendly at the Zhentarim Hideout in Act 1. This thing is fucking awesome. My Gloomstalker destroys with it.
Adamantine Scale. This is some crazy good armor you can forge towards the end of Act 1. I liked it so much I made 2 sets, 1 for Karlach and 1 for Shadowheart.
Blood of Lathander. Great mace, puzzle/quest reward at the end of the Gith creche. When I got it I was like damn this rocks too bad no one uses maces...then it hit me Pact of Blade Wyll can use any good weapon you get, what an amazing class feature. One of the issues in CRPGs forever has been getting great weapons that you either have to spec around or not use. Pact of Blade fixes that, love it. I was using Sorrow with him until I got this.
Masterwork/Sussur bark quest weapons. Greatsword is the obvious choice IMO since Lae'zel or Karlach can use it, only +1 but the silence on hit effect is so powerful against spell casting bosses.
Some medium armor in the Last Light Inn. Don't know the name but it's like 15 base AC, no stealth penalty and you can use all your DEX bonus. Great for a stealthy Ranger.
Some random green gloves found early that give advantage to melee attacks if you are next to 2 or more enemies. Love these.
Game is pretty light on cloaks and rings. I have only found one cloak so far, had to buy it a cloak of protection +1. Rings, there are a decent amount but I don't think everyone has 2 yet and a lot of them suck.
What other stuff are you guys finding and liking?
