    How many suits of this can I get in the game?

    With the Thunderhammer guy make just one, or can he oufit all of my Fighters & Clerics? I've seen hints towards tactics of selling him shells, what are these?

    I think he can only make one, because I think it sets some global, so you only can make one. I think the selling trick is dropping all but one, selling it, then picking up and selling the next, and so on. There is, however, another one that can be found somewhere in Nashkel. Check some walkthrough for exact coordinates.

    Baronius is right. However... I know the exact coordinates well not exactly... anyway, the armor is in a sack with a pearl. Look for it in the farm, on the closest furrow to the west side of the map. It is by a small turquoise pine tree. Search the furrow until you find it. Oh, and, I think Taerom Furium can make more armor than just 1 (I did it).

    Yes, I have a faint memory of doing i too...
    But I reloaded after trying, since it can't be worn with any other magic items (i.e rings, cloaks, etc). Used full plate and some magic stuffs instead. :p ;)

    Yeah, just don't give the Ankheg Carapaces to the guy who tells you about the 10 carapace limit in the area. Bring 'em to Furium so he can mold them.

    does the 10 carapace limit guy give you money or something for the carapaces, ive never tried to do anything with him and the hids, usually i just thought he wanted you to kill off some of the overpopulating ankheg beasts.

    Where do you find one in Nashkell? The only one I've ever got was from the smith who forged it for me.

    Can Thunderhammer make more than 1? I've never heard of such a thing. Granted, once you have two ankheg plate mails and two full plate mail, that's already 4 really good sets of armor, so it's unlikely that you even have a need for any more...

    As soon as he has made one he will only buy your remaining ankheg shells.
    And as Aldeth said, you wouldn´t need more than one from him anyway.
    Maybe if you have a party that only consists of fighters and clerics. Which I hope you dont :)

    OK, it may just be my memory. Besides, who needs Full Plate when you can get Ankheg for less and it is better (you can wear rings too!)

    You can wear full plate and magic items because full plate isn't magical.

    Yeah you can reach the best constant AC for a warrior in BG by using a Full Plate (+0) and Ring of Protection +2 together (and the other necessary items of course).
