How to Use the Mundane Chest Like a Bag of Holding
UPDATE : BG3 has since been patch up andthe Mundane Chest no longer functions like a Bag of Holding . you’re able to still place items into the chest of drawers , but the Mundane Chest will no longer reduce the weight of items identify in them . It also seems that you could no longer remove the chest from the Arcane Tower and transmit it around with you . As such , the Mundane Chest does n’t have much utility anymore other than being a novel storage item you may loot .
Before Patch 1 , the Mundane Chest also offer one other usefulness : it reduce the weighting of everything in it to a weight of .05 . And if you were lay away every item you came across , this was exceptionally useful . But note therewasa weightiness limit . I strike it after shoving 125 item into it , at which decimal point it arrest reducing the weight of the items indoors .
Once you ’ve reached that stop , it was a good mind to receive a merchandiser . Or start using your other graphic symbol as loot mules . Sorry , Lae’zel !
