More than 20 arrows in 1 slot?

I remember reading somewhere that this could be done (without hacking the game or anything) by using a little trick.

Does anyone know how?

Thanks!

Hmm

No, I have never downloaded anything or hacked the game.
I remember I was able to make it work and get 20+ arrows in 1 slot when I played Baldur's Gate a few years back (I've just started playing it again).

I don't know if it's a bug or something.
I think you were supposed to move the arrows around in a specific way... but it has been so long that I can't remember how.

You know that when you're picking up arrows from dead enemies there are sometimes 36 arrows in one bundle etc.
By doing that trick you should be able to make such bundles yourself...

Never heared of it.
I used gatekeeper to make bigger stacks when i was soloing, its very easy and in my opinion (for what its worth) not realy cheating

Would CLUA work?

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("AROW02",X) will create X +1 Arrows.

It might try to create them in groups of 20, but I don't think so.

I have heard of some trick where you put a potion in your quickslot then swap it with a gem and "drink" the gem, which will give you a huge quatity of gems. But I have never tried it and I think the patch fixes this.

one of the villains drop a stack of ~30 arrows.

There are a couple of places where you can find bundles of items that exceed the stacking limits (20 for arrows, 5 for potions). For example, the snotty adventurers from Amn have 40 +1 arrows per bundle (if they haven't used them all), and there's a bundle of 12 healing potions in Durlag's Tower. If you want to create even bigger bundles without hacking the game, you can exploit the item limit if you already have two bundles that exceed the limit. For example, the stacking limit for potions is 5, so if you try to stack a bundle of 12 and a bundle of 10 (by putting one of them on top of the other in your inventory), you'll end up with one bundle of 5 (by default) and one bundle of 17. Same with arrows. If you try to stack a bundle of 40 arrows on top of another bundle of 40 arrows, you'll end up with one bundle of 20 (by default) and one bundle of 60.

I don't know any other way to do it without cheating.

If you do that, "X" arrows will be created. For example, if you type CLUAConsole:CreateItem("AROW02",1000), you will create one stack of 1000 +1 arrows. If you don't specify a number, only one arrow will be created.

This applies to any items that have a specified number of charges, such as wands, the Staff of Striking, or the Necklace of Missiles. It even works for the Tomes. For example, if you type CLUAConsole:CreateItem("BOOK06", 6), you will create a Tome that can be used 6 times before it disappears.

Unfortunately, it doesn't change the number of times per day you can use things that you can use a set number of times per day (such as the Ring of Invisibility).

I would say that you shouldn´t mess with stack limit. I remeber finding those ~30 stacks of arrows and because I was so surprised I just tried to reduce the stack to 20 only this just caused the stack to grow and after a while I had three stacks of 1000 arrows.
