infinite bolts and arrows! *minor spoiler*

Post by TheDude »

i noticed something strange and cool :D
when i got the bag of holding i stuffed to with everything i usually throw away so i could sell it for a change. mainly special arrows.
since there are alot of arrows and bolts to be found in spellhold and i dind't want to identify them all there was a pile of unidentified arrows +2 bolts+2 and bolts of lighting in the bag.
once igot out of the Hold i went to sell all the junk in my bag so i could buy a lot of stuff in the underdark i took the arrows and bolts out of the bag identified them sold them went back digging in the bag and found some new unidentified arrows and bolts sold them again went digging found them again and again and again and again ect.
i now have somehow infinte arrows+2 and bolts! :D
did this happend to anyone?? or am i a the first one enjoying a bug??

if only i played an archer.. :D

Yep, those container-types are buggy in my experience too. I haven't noticed the exploit you mentioned, but I tried giving everyone a potion bag only to find out that inventory inside the bag becomes common for all the party :eek: It could work, true, but I was afraid of losing all my potions (happened to me once when I had 2 bags of holding on different party members) so I only got 1 bag.

I have the bottomless component from ease-of-use installed; I wonder if that causes the problem or if it's a limitation within the engine :confused:

Kaitsuburi - the reason why your "give everyone a potion bag" trick didn't work is that the game only contains 1 potion bag file. While it is possible to place that game file in everyone's inventory, all you are effectively doing is duplicating the bag and its contents across the party.

Note the same is not true with gem bags and scroll cases as there are multiple copies of these files.

You can check out the various containers using SK, you'll only find 1 Potion Bag, but > 1 Scroll Case/Gem Bag.

Containers are a bugbear of mine too - I'd like to see somebody design a Wand Case - I like using wands but my mages never seem to have enough inventory slots...

Hmm, this is kind of what I suspected too, thanks for clarifying :)

It's kind of convenient having a "unified inventory" of sorts but I am very afraid to use it...

you won't lose anything...a shared bag of holding, scroll case, ammo case, or gem bag has never been reported as losing stuff..

hmmm...i've never heard of this exploit before... :p
