Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Finished Catacombs With Too Much !#$%

I just finished the catacombs after restarting the game about fifteen times (thank God) and I have too many items to bare. After choosing what is best for my male warrior what should I do with the rest of the items. Some of the items are very good with high sell prices but I'm unable to use them at my current level. I use Joram's basement as my "Home Base" and is where I store items that I can't or don't use. What items should I expect to be sold in the next part of my journey? In other words, how much money and what should I buy at Aleroth? Thanks in advance, as always! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You should probably only need to buy potions in Aleroth. Later you will find merchants with more money and better equipment. Most of the equipment I used in the game was found or dropped by monsters, rather than bought from merchants. Money may be tight for a little while (though you can trade with items you don't want/need), but soon you should have more than you can use.

Store what you can't sell. George's house might prove to be more convenient--closer to the teleporter and Mardaneus. You can store everything in chests and cupboards and George has a few. Organize the stuff in categories that make sense to you in a few chests or barrels; it makes it easier to find what you want than if you have over 100 miscellaneous items in 1 chest. Put the TP stone next to the bed to get rest when you need it.

Cleglaw

My solution was much the same as Cleglaw's. I "acquired" empty chests and barrels and set them up in a nice clear area in Aleroth. Then I placed one teleporter next to them, so that at any point I could teleport back and stash extra equipment, or remove some to sell to a vendor, for instance in Arc Magicana or Verdistis. It also provided a nice logical place to rest, get healed, and stash equipment that I don't want to sell but will use later. Better than just dropping the stuff on the ground with no organization.

You can make a MONSTER profit doing this and there's no sense in throwing away free money, eh?. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> As pointed out, George's store will yield several nice empty chests/barrels you can use (he certainly won't mind, after you find him mysteriously murdered). Either move in or pick another "home base" that suits you.

Oh, quick thing. I recommend using chests instead of barrels when possible, because they can't be destroyed. I can't name the number of times I accidentally clicked on a barrel to open it, only to have my character break it open with his sword because I forgot to holster his weapon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

HULK SMASH! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Well, warriors never were known for their intelligence. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

<whispering> Mages are not very intelligent either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />
