NEVERWINTER NIGHTS:THE HENCHMEN QUESTSPRIVATE
By Lu Richardson
----------------
I have received e-mails about the henchmen quests - people are having difficulties in locating their requested items, so I've knocked this up to help them out.They are, of course, not important to the main quest - but if they enhance the game, so be it.
If at the beginning of the game you fork out and hire all of the henchmen and listen to their stories (dropping them immediately afterwards), and do it again every time you Level Up, then you can earn experience points by getting them whatever they ask at the end of their stories (you have to listen to them three times).You are bound to come across the items anyway, so you might as well go to all that trouble.

I have also been asked which is the best weapon in the game.Being a Paladin, the best turned out to be a Greatsword + 3 enhanced with adamantine (or whatever it is called) at the smithy.This of itself is not enough, though - if you want to do massive damage you have to wear items which increase your strength, even drink a potion of Bull's Strength; and also, increase this attribute every time you are allowed to during a Level Up.This speeds up the battles no end.
