I tripped across two of those "0 weight" chests myself down in the Aleroth Catacombs, 5th level on the south wall. I did a few tests, and I discovered that I could put the chest in my inventory, load it with items, and then leave it in my inventory with the lid OPEN. As long as I kept the lid open, and didn't shift the chest around, it weighed zero and only the items themselves were added to my weight. Technically this could be useful for organization, or for the old "
steal everything not nailed down by throwing it into a container" trick.
However, I do have my pride. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Soon as the tests were complete I dropped the sucker. Whenever I do the steal trick I use a "legitimate" chest or barrel, couldn't say why exactly. Guess I just want to make my guy work at least a
little bit when it comes to pseudo-cheating, heh.
The odd thing is that closing the chest doesn't make my inventory swell in size; only closing it and moving it in my inventory does. This is old news for you guys, but I tripped across the same glitch when I was eating things from my inventory. If I eat 3 apples out of a batch of 5 in my inventory, my weight won't go down until I drag and drop the remaining apples someplace else in the window. Very odd, no continuous updating... *shrug*
