Nice tip, I'll keep that in mind for my next playthrough. Also I think I only had to pay a merchant to identify one item, and the entire stack got identified, for a single item's fee. But it's still so expensive that the Lore spell is definitely the way to go.

Well, after getting my INT to 16 and trying the Lore skill, I was still getting a lot of new loot that I couldn't identify. Not sure if stuff you already have is re-evaluated when your stats/skills change. So I trained up in Divination and the Lore spell is working pretty good so far.

I got my Fighter to level 10 and suddenly my lack of intelligence is causing most new items I find to be unrecognizable... Will an INT of 14 be enough to identify most items in the game? I wish I hadn't sold that ring of lore (or whatever it was) early on.
