Hey all,
This is probably an old topic, but I have been replaying BG2 and I just found a wolf pelt 'bag' on the animal trainer in the Copper Coronet, the one who gives the kick-butt short bow. Is this a normal drop? Have I been accidentally selling this along with the wolf pelt you get for killing the animal? Or is this a special drop that I just got lucky with.

Normally I would save and reload to find out, but I have progressed far beyond that point and have no desire to create a new party just to test this occurrance.

If this is a normal item, then I have been screwing myself out of a bag of holding for about 20 games! :(

Thanks!

AFAIR the answers to your questions are yes and (apparently) yes.

I also believe that the wolf bag is nowhere near as good as a true bag of holding, and I sell it once I get the real thing, if not before.

The pelt that acts as a mini Bag of Holding is a component of the Unfinished Business mod (or at least it was about 18 moths ago when I installed an early version).

In 'standard' BG2 it's just a treasure for sale.

It is not present in the standard equipment (SoA+ToB+patch+baldurdash).

On a side notice, in what sense is it worse than a bag of holding?

It can't hold as many items, about 12/15 IIRC.

Ah, I think I recently installed the Unfinished Business mod--that is probably why I have never noticed it before.

Also, even though it is not nearly as good as a true bag of holding, it is a lifesaver for a low strength party trying to haul around heavy items that may be used later after certain strenth enhancing items are acquired.

Thanks all!

I've never heard of this bag before. :s Sounds useful

If you don't have your mod, get some old worn boots, a winter wolf pelt, and an elephant hide. Take them to Cromwell, and for 10,000 gc, he'll make the "Boots of Stomping"

These boots will kill any single insectoid creature, once per day. They also have improved haste cast on the wearer.

Good hunting!

*stomps on Kyrvias for claiming there's new items to be gained in the game* [img]tongue.gif[/img]

See? Link has already gotten the Boots of Stomping!

And they're working mighty fine too! :D

I rest my case.

It can't hold as many items, about 12/15 IIRC. </font>[/QUOTE]it unfortunately only holds 10 items. It's great for starting solo-ists however since inventory space is very limited.

This would seem to indicate that Kyrvias is an insectoid creature. ;)

ouch. you hurt me, Six. :D

Well, what's with the gullibility that's been floating around the last few days? Did they just come out with a new Secrets of Amn site or something? Boots of Stomping, Gemjump Scroll... My goodness.

I still like the "rationale" I cooked up for those Empty Potion bottles a long time ago: In Bodhi's Lair there's a guy named Phaedron, who's got really high resistances to everything, so he'll run in, beat on a couple of your guys for a round or two, and then when he gets to Badly Injured, he'll run away really really really fast, drink some Healing potions, and then come back. Over and over. But here's the trick: He doesn't wear Boots. So if you've got at least one Empty Potion Bottle and a weapon that does Blunt damage, you can scatter broken glass over the path that Phaedron would have to take to come back to you. He's barefoot, so when he steps on the glass, he takes massive penalties to his Movement Rate and Dexterity, and you can kill him. Caution: Any party member who doesn't have something in their Boot slot will suffer the same penalties if they walk through the area of the broken glass, and take Bleeding damage for the next 10 rounds.

:D

That sounds oddly specific...

I remember falling for that story a year or 2 ago, although it was in a lair in ToB instead of in SoA ;)

[img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] I love sending people on wild goose chases :D

I did one a year or so ago where I told everyone there was this hidden quest involving the Cloak of the Sewers:

And there's thist very peculiar quest involved where you need the Cloak of the Sewers. When you enter the Bridge District at night when you've solved the skinner murders, you should be approached by a man in green (bottom left of the map). He will ask you to steal something from the Balthis estate, but you can only walk through it unnoticed when you're in rat-form. Figures you need the cloak of the sewers for this job. You get a reward of 10000 gold and two sphene gems for it.

and that actually makes sense :D
