In Avernum/Exile there were always placed you could put excess equipment. My Shaper is currently carrying about 30lbs in pods. Is there anywhere I can put them where they won't get stolen? Posts: 7 | Registered: Wednesday, February 28 2007 08:00 |

You can put them anywhere. Just lay them on the ground and come back later. Though Nalyd would advise selling them. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |

Try to leave them in a cleared zone or a safe town. Some towns get hostile if you change sects. Geneforge 1 and 2 have a maximum amount of coins that they can buy things with and you don't want to have to buy things back from merchants. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The only issue with dropping things is that you are limited to 200 items (stacking items like gemstones will only count as a single item) in a single zone, after which things start to disappear. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Why would they dissapear and who took the time too take all those items in a zone to find out? -------------------- "640K ought to be enough for anybody." -- Bill Gates, 1981 The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead. Posts: 152 | Registered: Monday, November 6 2006 08:00 |

I've never hit the limit for items in a zone, despite being a major pack rat. And before you ask, yes, I set up one rather huge cache. However, I have found a limit to how much stuff you can drop on a single space. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

Well, do you get any warning that you can't drop anything anymore - i believe it was in E2 or A2 in Olgai that i saw such a warning i believe, but i'm not sure. And also what about putting things in crates, barrels, cabinets etc. Does that also count towards the limit? Finally - do you really think it is 200 - isn't that a little low - i mean, with all the sticks and such lying around ... Ps: Is there any order in which the things start to disappear? -------------------- I don't care what you say, I'm punk and Hardcore all the way! Posts: 185 | Registered: Sunday, June 4 2006 07:00 |

200 items per zone? typical. I have a good idea though! Organize items per zone. Zone 1:Stackable items only Zone 2:Magic items(non-stackable) Bandit woods:basic items(because vakirri has 50 items that are labled NY and that counts among the item limit) Im just guessing.

Whatever works, works, I guess. As long as you can keep track of your stuff, go for it. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.
