Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Storage Chests

I was so impressed with the quick and helpful responses on my first question, I have come back with a second!!

How do you attain chests that you can store the mountains of 'stuff'you collect on your journey to the divine !!

I am fed up being overweight (freudian slip!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />) and not being able to run away from the quicker baddies.

PS big blue orcs are a pain - my freeze only lasts (level 2) a short time and I end up leading a 'benny hill like' procession back to the garrison for a right old barney - does tickle me though - there are only about three half alive soldiers left <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

Answers on a postcard ....

I moved in in one of the empty houses in Aelroth, just placed one of my teleporters there. After some progress I moved to a nicer neighborhood in verdistis

Find a chest you like, drag and drop it into your inventory, and carry it home.

More info about chests, click here specially those becoming invisible and disappearing after some time. Mine were the dark brown ones, lost some stuff.

Thanks folks,

My little rucksack was getting quite full !!

By the way, does anyone bear any resemblance to their new avatars - 'what the eye sees, the mind paints'.

[color:"yellow"] Kiya,
Did I miss something in that link because the only thing I saw regarding invisible chests is that it is a known bug.
I've tried picking it up from where it should be, but I can't.
No big deal, I didn't put anything in that one yet. [/color]

Did you just read the link or did you notice that Raze had 2 links in that link (ahm, sounds a bit like Matreshka linking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)

Some invisible chests become visible again if clicked on. But my link was intended to help the thread-poster. I guess, you know all these infos from the old Forum.

Having a vital item in there would be a real drab. That's why I chose barrels - just had to take care not to click on them if in combat mode. Happened to me several times, grmbl. So, in my game the Ars teleporter is surrounded by sad smashed chests <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />, and I spend a lot of time looking for new ones

[color:"yellow"]I read the link and went to the next link. I tried clicking on my chest but it doesn't become visible again.
Like I said, no biggie because I hadn't gotten around to putting anything in it yet.
My biggest concern was that it was hinting to a whole other part of the game...some sort of skill you could have that would let you see or use under certain conditions. [/color]

Kiya, you have been a great help !!

Thanks again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

There is a book in the thieves guild of holding.[ you find the devine dagger in it]Does not weigh as much as chest or barrel and holds alot.

There are a lot of chests that suddenly weigh zero when you take the items out of them. Be careful to check them before you put any valuables in them.

so far all the chest and barrels that i tried weigh alot empty and anything you put in side only adds to the weight, so i just drop everything near a merchant that can repair or next to the closest teleporter, so far i have not lost anything with just leaving stuff on the ground. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Just for fun when you get into Iona's Dungeon you will be able to find some barrels that when you put an item in one of them - it appears in all of them. Just so you won't think you have two of that item now - you don't. Take it out of any of the barrels and it disappears from all the barrels!

Think of the possibilities if you're willing to do a little, uh, legwork. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> One at the smith's, one at your house, one in the dark forest... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
