The best items are found in Niob,but use bronze to make level 200 with new chrs by the first couple of quest,then follow main quest and get to Niob.

You can use the Sacred 2 Item Editor 0.3.7 to up all armor and weapons to level 252,and still be able to use them if your level 200.increase rings and amulates to level 251 so they can still be used in the iems.

Does Balance.txt editing still work in the expansion Ice & Blood? I heard that it doesn't.

I've no idea,don't have Ice yet.

Okay, thanks. I don't even know if Ice is coming to the US or not. Haven't seen it in stores...

I think when you update to Ice & Blood the balance.txt will be overwritten back to the default settings by the installer. From what I can remember it does this for updates to the game e.g. 2.40 -> 2.43 as well, then again my memory could just be playing tricks on me.
You should be able to re-edit the balance.txt file again or restore a backup of your edited version, but it just depends on how far the game devs are willing to go to stop people from doing this.
I don't know about this second bit yet as I'm still on the 2.43 version.

I believe you are correct; I recall not being able to update until you restore everything to default, and then patch. I was concerned that Ice and Blood would act funny after editing the balance.txt file.

I'm still running 2.40...was reluctant to go to 2.43 because I heard that they scaled back items with +visibility range, which I use liberally to explore the map.

From what I've seen from the last few updates,the balance file is only written over if something new has been added or changed.So going to say vs 2.64 or something and using a 2.43 balance file would just cause crashes.
So what I do is simply open my old and the new file up side by side and simply copy my changes over to the new file.This way i can keep all my changes and also see anything new within the balance file from the updates.....and change that accordingly if I want.
Ice and Blood will be released in the US sometime durring the first qurter of 2010 I've heard.
Also I really believe the devs ment for us to be able to modify the game to how we like it with the balance file.
Think about it...it does not effect online play at all,and it is extreamly simple and straightforward to do.

That's a pretty good point; plus, I only play offline anyway, so it shouldn't affect anything.
