Hi all,
I'm a pretty stupid level 9 barbarian and have a stack of equipment that is 'unknown'. Anyone know where I can get this stuff identified? Cheers

Go to shops and [left?] click on it, they'll offer to ID it for you.. it's usually pretty expensive, 300+ gold or something.

You could learn devine magic and identify these items with the lore spell.
Getting unknown items identified in the shops is way too expensive, because it costs half of the price they are worth.
If you sell them after identifiing in the shops you just get your costs back.
So you don't get rich in finding unknown items, when you can't identify them by your own.

One more thing:
If you find potions, that unknown, you can put them on an stack of the same potion of your inventory, that are indentified. If they fit, they aren't unkown anymore.

There's also a Loremaster's Ring around (Lore +6 - value 1000). I can't remember whether I found mine or bought it in a shop - it's so useful, though!

I'm playing an atheist mage so no devine magic and shop IDing take my last pants.
Are there any other ways/items than this ring?

The only other way is to build up your lore skill when you level up. Finding the ring can be tough since it usually appears later in the game and it is not cheap. IDing in the shops is the other way, but as others have stated is expensive. It does pay to idenitfy the items, otherwise you cannot use them. IDing unknown potions is easier because they can stack on like potions. Unfortunately you cannot stack weapons or armor.

Do you actually mean I can stack different unidentified potions (or scrolls)? I haven't assumed this to work and so I've never tried.
What I still can't imagine: what would happen when your inventory is full and you ID such a stack with different items?
But then I'm a new player and as yet don't know how the game handles inventory overflow.

No, they have to be the same, Rubinstein. But, if the unidentified potion or scroll is the same, it will stack and be identified; if it won't, at least you know what it isn't...

Sounds logic. Btw, I've just got the ring of lore! Guess this will soon end my poorness.
Just for the record: found it in a treasure as an unidentified ring.
Don't remember the correct place anymore, but somewhere in the area of [Rot13 spoiler protected] Oynpxjngre.

EDIT:
@JoeSlow: Sorry, got you wrong. Just didn't read your message carefully.
Now I think what you meant was: stacking unidentified potions with known potions of the same type identify the former.

Yes, that's what I meant.
Sorry if I wrote mistakable, I'm no native speaker. Sometimes I have problems to express myself clearly.

Silly enough: 2 germans are trying to have some conversation in english...
I'm from Solingen, btw.
