Chest of the Mundane is broken

[Ack_Zombies]

The chest seems to be broken now, It still changes the items inside to a mundane with new weight, but the total weight of the chest still counts the original item weight.

aparently it was a bug that was making things lighter so they "fixed" it like complete idiots

sadly not broken but "fixed"

dumb change if you ask me, the fact that a fork weighs 15 pounds makes it anything but mundane.

if they're gonna do it they might as well just give us a bag of holding and call it a day.

WHAT? So the chest is pointless now.

They should have just kept it, a cool bug that should've been turned into a cooler feature.

guess because people where using with barrel bombs and stuff, made it so you could one shot everything

you can do that with a generic bag cause you dont need much to achieve it.

people were just using it as a bag of holding and they didn't like that

True but the chest of the Mundane would lower the weight a loot, so you had a really large supply of barrels on hand

Yeah its easy to simply have one of your party members go to camp and then feed barrels out of your camp stash. Using the Mundane just made it less tedious. Plus if it wasn't an intended function then what is the purpose of the chest in the game to begin with? Just to hide a couple of items in a single chest? It would be one thing if there were many of them spread throughout the game and you had to carefully check them, but that isn't the case.

Perhaps it was not intended as a pseudo bag of holding and was instead meant for a quest from cut content? But if thats so then they might as well just remove the container completely. It already has a 20 weight which is sufficient to counteract its weight reduction. You have to put a LOT of stuff in it before you even break even considering it doesn't invalidate the weight of the items inside... it simply makes them lighter.

Crap, I just reported this as a bug. Apparently it's fixed, and everything in it just changes appearance but not weight? That's ridiculously lame.

It fits with the lore of the tower though so it makes sense for it to be there. It's an arcane tower full of magical peculiarities, wonders and items.

I had no idea about this bug with the chest. I'm assuming it came from trying to hide the real items if you break the spell from people who didn't break the spell. I only found out on accident tbh, was screwin' with the flowers from that sus tree.

It makes sense that it wouldn't lower item weight intentionally though. Again, it was probably an oversight from an attempt to "hide" that there were two different sets of items in the chest. That being the bug they fixed.

[GeminiEclipse]

Why would they remove something they added for fun just because it doesn't cheat the game for people?

[CrazyOdd]

Thats working as intended. Its called the "Chest of the Mundane" for a reason...

Depends on what the intended design was. If the goal was to hide some magic items and reward players who loot and explore everything, then the chest was "fixed".

They only "broke" the chest if the intent was to make a bag of holding.

Didn't use it anyway.
