The Harper Stash in Grimforge: I am confused.

[Gregorovitch]

And I don't think I'm the only one, lot's of people seem to be and there are folks saying all sorts of things about it.

Basically I've defeated to mimics, found the toy chest, revealed the true chest, disarmed it's trap and unlocked it. But there is bugger all in this famous chest that took so much trouble to open. A few gold, a bottle of grease and the Scroll of Evidence. WTF?

There is talk about an armulet leading a quest line plus some +1 weapons and armour that are supposed to be in this chest. Ther was none of that in mine. There is talk that all this has changed between EA and release and that now the whole thing is bugged blah, blah blah.

I'd just like to know because the way I it this the amount of effort required to get less loot than you'd find on the average skeleton propped up against a wall in plain sight doesn't make sense and I'm wondering if I've done something wrong or missed something here.

That's what I got from it too. There is a chest with an amulet that starts a questline but it is not the Harper Cache, it's another location.

When I opened it, I was underwhelmed as well. Move on and chalk it up to disappointing itemization.

BG3 has mostly underwhelming individual items, but you can do cool things combining them into synergy sets. Or they make em sound/look lame at least.

Each on its own is meh. I don't even remember what was in my chest. Keep moving, nothing to see here.

You've not missed out on anything good.

Well, I did get 75XP each for the mimic chests I guess

I don't really care about the loot tbh, I was was more concerned about missing something important for story etc. Seems to me this armulet's location was moved for the release version for some reason and the shenanigans required to get it in EA from this Harper's chest was left in without someone thinking to stick something commensurate with said shenanigans in this chest.
