Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance/Items

Items are pretty important in this game if you don't want to die right away. You need potions and jewelery to survive this game.

Health potions are what you buy and sell the most. If the enemy takes a long time to beat, be ready to use health potions, but try to keep it to a minimum.

Magic potions are the same, but for Adrianna. Since she's the sorceress, you don't want her magic to take a while to regenerate, especially when enemies are attacking her due to her weak strength.

Recall potions are important in terms of when you reach the maximum weight and have to go to a safe haven where the shop owner is willing to buy and sell items. Rest assured, you won't lose your progress when you recall back to where you left off.

Rings and necklaces are important for your stats. For example, if Adrianna has weak strength in Act 3, she can use the ring with +5 strength to boost her combat and her weight. But if the ring or necklace has no stats, then it's useless and needs to be sold. It's a good idea if one of your stats has been neglected and you need something to help boost it.

Other items like gems are useless in this game. The only thing you can do is sell them to make more gold. So if you're short of getting an item, sell the gems to lose the carrying weight and hope you have enough for it.
